Music for the soul

Hey there, newbie!

This was the moment you've been dreaming of for the past few decades. That moment you stepped aboard the Elite Guard ship and took off for Earth.

Your spark was racing when you heard the thrusters fire up. It was a rush of emotions, almost too much for you.

You were the serious type, typically not one to have fun or relax. During the trip, you spent your time being a nervous wreck while performing your daily tasks.

Ultra Magnus was nice to you, but Sentinel Prime was an absolute jerk. Every time you did something wrong, he would yell at you and tell you to drop and do twenty pushups. You hated that mech with a burning passion.

Your other crew mates weren't as bad as him, though. The Jet twins were annoying, constantly bugging you and trying to flirt with you.

Of course, you just had to be the only femme on board. You had no interest in them and their immature attitudes.

You did, however, gain interest in a bot named Jazz. He was a Cyberninja and an Elite guardsman, which was totally down your alley. On top of that, he was the nicest bot on board the ship.

He listened to smooth jazz and trained in the training room all the time. He was a pretty cool guy. You first started getting interested in him when he invited you to eat your morning rations with him.

-1 megacycle from Earth, 0800-

You were busy getting ready for the morning tasks when there was a knock on the door to your habsuite. You quickly finished up, making sure you looked presentable before walking over to the door.

You pressed the button and the door slid aside, revealing Jazz standing there with his hand on his hip. "Hey Jazz!" You said cheerfully, stepping out into the hallway.

"Hey there, newbie! How's it goin'?" Jazz chuckled, his blue visor gleaming.

"Pretty good, actually. You seem happy today." You smiled, closing the door and walking down the hallway with Jazz. "So what do you have planned today? More training?"

"Yeah, the same old stuff. Gotta keep my reflexes sharp!" Jazz joked, twirling his laser nunchaku in the air. "Say... would you like to eat your morning rations with me? You look pretty lonely in the mess hall."

Your face felt hot and you didn't know why as you nervously scratched the back of your helm. "Oh! Um.. sure! I'll see you there!" You tried not to giggle out loud when he waved at you.

"Okay! See ya in a bit, Y/N!" Jazz said as he did a flip and briskly walked down the hallway.

You stood there in the middle of the hallway, a flustered mess. "Gosh he is adorable..." you thought, blushing wildly as you slowly made your way to the mess hall.

-Mess hall-

Your optics frantically scanned the mess hall for Jazz. You walked around while carrying your glass of energon, wondering where he was.

Along the way, you heard other mechs whistle at you or try to get your attention. You shot them a dirty look and held your head up high.

Finally, you spotted Jazz's sleek frame behind a bunch of commanders sitting at a table. You hurried past that table, not wanting to get into a conversation.

Jazz glanced up from his energon and grinned when he saw you, patting the seat next to him. "Here, I saved you a spot."

"Thanks! Wow, it's more packed in here than usual." You joked, glancing around before taking a seat beside him.

You felt your spark start racing once you sat down. You had never been that close to him before and you felt like your spark was going to pound out of your chest. You swallowed hard and took a sip of your energon, trying to stay calm.

"I'm glad you came to sit with me, I was hoping you would. Most bots don't sit with me because they think I'm just a young upstart." Jazz said, swirling the energon around in his glass.

"Really? If you want an example of a young upstart, just go find the twins!" You laughed, setting your glass down.

Jazz giggled and blushed, turning in his seat to face you. "You have such a cute laugh, you should laugh more often."

Your face flushed red and you froze. "Aw... w-well I..." You couldn't speak when you looked at him. His grin was just too adorable that you couldn't take him seriously.

"Aww, don't get all flustered now! I was complimenting you!" Jazz chuckled, laying his hand on your shoulder.

Internally, you were screaming happily and completely losing it. Externally, you were just a flustered mess. Your face grew hotter when he put his hand on your shoulder and a giggle escaped your lips.

"Hmm, maybe this will make you feel better. You look kinda warm to me." Jazz smirked, lightly kissing you on the cheek.

You just about shrieked right there. Your face was redder than Optimus Prime's paint job as you sat there silently. You smiled and hugged Jazz tightly, catching him by surprise.

"You're too kind, Jazz!" You managed to say, wrapping your arms around him.

Jazz smiled and hugged you back. "Why thank you, Y/N. I'm glad you feel better." A light chuckle escaped his throat as you pressed your head against his chest.

This was the happiest day of your life so far.
