Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 25: Healing

The sun continued to rise on this cold day, colder than the rest of the days of this week. Sides was still in statis for his own good until Ratchet takes him out.

In the Med. Bay, it's only been the three of us most of the time with the medic sometimes coming in our small area to check up on Sides. Sunstreaker had lied down a while back after sitting up for too long was draining him of his energy. With his brother out of it, the yellow twin couldn't go far without passing out.

Inside of the hangar wasn't too warm for human standards when the door gets opened a few times and releasing all the pent up heated air. The only heat source for me was Sunstreaker's armor but it was made of metal, meaning it quickly lost the warmth.

A shiver raked my body after sitting here for too long with no constant heat source. The logical side of my brain told me I needed to get somewhere warm or have at least a jacket on. It doesn't help I was wearing a tank top with no bra and basketball shorts on in forty to fifty degrees weather. My caring side was saying to suck it up and wait until Sides is at least awake.

From what Sunstreaker has said, Sides could tell from him if I was near or far from him. He would most likely freak if I left to go get a jacket or blanket. Where would I even get one? Will probably knows of my presences now after Prowl had fetched me from the twins room. Could I somehow get him to get me one?

Another shiver ran down the length of my back. Don't get me wrong, I loved the cold if only I was wearing the proper clothing not my sleepwear. "You cold?" Sunstreaker's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

I gazed where his blue optics were staring at my shaking form and nodded my head. Sunstreaker sat up carefully as I was on his chassis and rested his back against the hangar wall. I could he was hurting and didn't want him to push himself because of me. "Wait! I'm fine. You don't have to strain yourself."

Sunstreaker scoffed and rolled his optics too. "You're not. You humans cannot stand the cold for long. You're also not wear proper clothing to protect you from the cold. And I'm not straining myself," he grunted out and used his servo as a plat form for me to stand on.

It was a little bit warmer than being exposed to the elements. I leaned against the plating on his chassis, closer to his spark where it was the warmest, and sighed in content.

Our little moment was broken by the curtain blocking us from the rest of the bay was opened by a special police bot. Prowl didn't seem fazed about the two of us cuddling and took a step past the curtain. "Aubrey, you no longer have to worry about going to work for the next three earth days. I have talked to your lieutenant and pulled some strings to allow you time with the twins."

"I totally forgot about work," I chuckled nervously. It was the truth though, Sides being injured had taken over my mind which was surprising. Work was the number one priority in my brain compared to everything else in my life, besides my dogs. Kodiak and Vivian are still in the twins berthroom! "I need to go get my dogs from their room."

"I wouldn't be surprised with everything going on. Come with me then, we can go get them," Prowl offered. Sunstreaker's frame tensed and he pulled me closer towards him, clearly showing his displeasure of me leaving.

"No, she's staying," he laid down the rules. His optics trained solely on Prowl, flickers of protectiveness flashing in them. It was best not to get in between the two, or at least not in front of Sunstreaker. He was doing his normal protective thing I have seen him do with his brother.

Prowl rolled his optics but sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll go get them for you. What were their designations again?" They're most like going to hunt me down in the entire base to find me and not follow any of his orders. Good luck, Prowl.
