Sideswipe had shown me around and introduced me to all his fellow Autobots. Mentally I was freaking out. This is amazing! Even better than I thought and on top of that. I am Sideswipe's roommate.
Sideswipe halted rambling out about something and I tightly hugged him. Wrapping my arms tightly around his waist. Sideswipe chuckled, petting my head a little. "Why do I deserve this hug?" He asked teasingly. "Because I am the best Autobot ever?" He questioned arrogantly. I chuckled and pulled back.

"Shall we~" sideswipe was cut off by Lennox. "No, Sideswipe... Skylar and I need a chat," he stated. "No! I think we're not on the same frequency... I found her and you told me that what you find you can keep! So, the femme stays with me!" He stated firmly, pulling at my arm. Lennox crossed his arms and I was about to answer but Sideswipe covered my mouth, pulling me tightly against his chest. "No... she stays... here with me where I can keep an eye on her," he stated firmly. "You're not the only who wants to have a word with her... let her go!" Lennox ordered.
"But I want her back... we are roommates now!" he stated. "Roommates? I am not sure if that's such a good idea, considered the fact you're after femmes..." Lennox said, grabbing my arm and pulling me free from Sideswipe's tight grip.

"It's not fair! You can't take her from me... I found her!" Sideswipe repeated, this time a bit more angry and possessive. "Sideswipe!" Lennox warned. "It's not fair... you're doing this every time... I didn't come to earth to listen to you, to let you take everything I like to do or people I like," Sideswipe spat out. "You're not doing this again..." he added coldly, taking my hand tightly in his. At this point, I didn't feel like I wanted to mix in this argument.
Things escalated a little when Ironhide mixed in this as well. Lennox led me away while Ironhide was yelling at Sideswipe. "What was he talking about?" I asked. "He's overreacting... Sideswipe is misbehaving..." Lennox muttered. I didn't reply, what should I reply anyways? I don't know what happened before I came here.

"You have no idea how you got here?" Lennox asked. "No, I have no idea... I just woke here," I said. "I do know about everything, history etc..." I said. "I think we need to find out how this happened and how to prevent this in the near future," Lennox said. "I would like to stay with Sideswipe..." I added quietly, shy even. The major turned around "Why would you want that?" he asked. "He's a teenager... he sneaks out of the base, he's irresponsible, pranks... I don't think he will have a good influence on you," he added. "I have always liked him... I know everything about him, his personality, his past... everything. I know what to expect," I said. "You know about his past?" "The big lines... yes," I replied. Lennox sighed and looked at the hanger, watching Sideswipe skate around restlessly. "He really seems to like you, I am saying this because he broke the hearts of many girls... so, I am a little bit careful with you," he said. I followed Lennox's gaze "well, I just want to be friends," I said. "Okay, but if he's misbehaving towards you... you get your own room!" He strictly said. I started smiling and nodded.
I returned towards Sideswipe. He spotted me and quickly snatched me from the floor. Suspiciously, he looked around before he skated towards the other hanger. "What did he say? Lennox I mean..." Sideswipe asked, a bit nervous.

"Not that much, just that you broke the hearts of many girls, you're misbehaving, sneaking out of the house, pranking people, taking girls to the base to frag... that kind of thing, he said you're a bad influence,"

Sideswipe saddened a little "so... he gave you a room far away from mine?"

"No, I said I wanted to stay with you, under one condition... if you misbehave towards me, he gives me my own room... far away from you," I said. "Won't happen, I promise you!" He stated. I smiled. Sideswipe placed me on the floor and transformed. His holoform dragged me back towards his room. "Just forget what Lennox told you... it's relevant anyways," he huffed, waving his hand. "sure..." I mumbled.

"Tonight! We order Pizza and watch a movie!" He stated. "Sounds good,"

"Plus, you need clothes... so we can go into town tomorrow," he said, thinking. "Hmm, I can give you one of my shirts for tonight," he said. I gave a small nod.

That evening, we had been hanging out all day, he got up and grabbed his phone. "What kind of pizza do you want?" he asked, flopping next to me with his legs on my lap. "Hmm, what kind of pizza do you take?" I asked. "uhm...Funghi," he said after a short silence. "Prosciutto..." I said. "Alright... it will be here within an hour or so," he said shortly after my answer. I looked at his feet, wondering if he was ticklish or not. He jerked a little bit if I tickled some spots underneath his feet. "Naughty girl..." he said, pulling his legs back. "You are ticklish," I grinned. He rolled his eyes "Unlike you, I can handle it," I said. He stopped in his tracks "Are you challenging me?" he asked. "I mean... I can handle it if you tickle me underneath my feet..." I said.
"You are challenging me," he repeated, placing his phone aside. "Sides... I wasn't challenging you, I swear..." I chuckled as I sat up straight. His eyes lit up, twinkling mischievously. He lunged for me out of nowhere, knocking me off the couch and started tickling me. I laughed, throwing my head back while begging him to stop. "Who's the best?" he asked, holding me tightly. "Sunstreaker is..." I teased. "Wrong answer!"

He started to tickle me again "Okay, Fine! You win... You win... you're the best..." I laughed. "You're the most skilled and handsome mech at the base..." I whispered. "Good girl..." he grinned, letting go of me. My chest was sore from laughing and I still felt where he had tickled me. I got up and sat back on the couch.
He laid down, this time with his head on my lap. His ocean blue eyes were still twinkling with excitement. "I am happy I found you," he said. "You found me?" I asked. "Yeah... I came to Sam... so, I found you," he said. "And... you can keep what you find..." he added. I hummed "You wouldn't go back to your home right? You wouldn't leave me?" he asked. "I don't think I leave anytime soon... maybe I can't go back," I said. "Doesn't confirm my question..." he said. "No... I won't go back..." I said. "Great!" he chirped, nuzzling in my stomach.

30 minutes later, we heard a knock on the door, Sideswipe slid off the couch and opened the door. "What did I say about ordering pizza?" Ironhide snapped. "No, what did Ratchet say about ordering pizza... I know you don't like it and rather see me drinking energon but... I am not going to listen to you old-timer... my life, my choices... I drink my energon and eat human food... so deal with it or not... I don't care," Sideswipe stubbornly said before grabbing the boxes and slammed the door closed. He rolled his eyes, "Always bothering me with shit," he mocked, handing me the right box. "So, what do you want to watch?" he asked. "As long as it isn't horror... I am fine with everything," I said. Sideswipe flopped on the couch and started netflix up. "Let's see... San Andreas?" he asked. I nodded, cross-legging. "Do you have a knife?" I asked. Sideswipe reached out for his holster, handing me his eight-inch long kitchen knife. I saw his name engraved with gold on the lemmet. "uhm..." I said, taking it from him. "It's sharp..." he warned.
"Yeah..." I mumbled, cutting my pizza. He took it back from me and cut his own pizza before he cleaned his knife up with a napkin and pushed it back in his leg holster.

We went to bed at 11 PM and I had to admit, I was exhausted. "Here..." Sideswipe handed me a shirt that's way too big for me, it looked more like a dress. I changed in the bathroom before I walked back towards his room and climbed in bed, watching Sideswipe walk around before he stood on his bed, looking at me. He pressed a kiss on my forehead before he laid down. I looked over the edge watching him curl in the blanket and pillow. "Goodnight," I mumbled. He shut the lights

"Goodnight, Skylar..."
