Ironhide nodded and nuzzled Barricade, cradling him close. ~"I won't let ya starve 'Cade. If ya need anything, call me, come find me n I'll take care o' ya."~ he murmured softly. ~"I just dun wanna lose ya again, I dun think I could take that pain again..."~ He then decided he wanted to just curl up with Barricade and he looked at him. ~"I couldn't sleep earlier, so I came down ta see ya. Would... would ya want me ta stay here with ya tonight?"~ he asked tentatively, clearly not wanting to let Barricade go, even now. ~"I dun much care what the others think o' me, I dun wanna leave ya. I can't..."~ he admitted, then found himself kissing Barricade again, his chassis curling around the smaller mech and slowly laying down with him, his own chassis partially covering Barricade's protectively as they laid there on the berth.

~"I don't mind..."~ Barricade replied. {"Maybe it will chase away the nightmares..."} ~"And I won't tell the Decepticons that the big, bad Ironhide sleeps with a 'teddy bear' if you don't tell the Autobots I called myself that."~ The tone in his voice was joking and light, though he did wiggle a bit so that he wasn't completely underneath Ironhide. There were some things he just couldn't handle yet.

Ironhide chuckled at that and kissed him again before shifting to curl up on his side, his arms wrapped firmly around his 'teddy bear' as he nuzzled Barricade affectionately. ~"I happen ta love my lil 'teddy bear' n I ain't gonna let anybot take ya away from me."~ he answered with a chuckle. He didn't want to send his dear friend into a panic, thus he moved so his own heavy frame wasn't pinning Barricade, merely holding him as they curled up together. He gently kissed Barricade's audio receptor plate, then nuzzled his head again, his engine rumbling contentedly. ~"I'll never hurt ya, 'Cade, I swear on my Spark, I'll never hurt ya..."~ he whispered softly, his optics closed as his venting starts to slow, not realizing just how tired he really was, how exhausting this night had become emotionally. ~"I love ya, 'Cade... til all're one..."~ he whispered faintly as he felt himself quickly slipping into recharge, joy filling his Spark for the first time in a very long time as he held Barricade in his arms again at last.

Barricade snuggled himself backwards so that he was nuzzled against Ironhide, his engine purring quietly. ~"'Till all are one."~ He murmured, his own systems beginning the lull back into recharge. His optics closed, and soon the only system still running was his engine, still purring quietly in contentment and a sense of safety. No nightmares plagued the rest of his recharge, allowing Barricade a quiet night of recharge.

Resting peacefully with his young friend, and hopefully future lover, held safely in his arms, Ironhide dreamed quiet, gentle dreams of a possible future without war, without hatred, just quiet peace at last where they could finally be together without judgment or ridicule. In his dream he was floating, holding Barricade in his arms, his forehead resting against Barricade's, his Spark glowing softly, pulsing soothingly in his chest, singing to the mech in his arms. He remained like that all night, content, at peace, resting comfortably with Barricade close to him again. Hours later, he slowly woke, murmuring softly and snuggling the younger mech close against his chest, nuzzling him affectionately. ~"Mmmmmmm..."~ he rumbled softly, unwilling to leave the dream completely yet, but feeling so comfortable as he woke up knowing Barricade was really there in his arms, one hand rubbing his chest soothingly as he held him close.

The soft lul in his systems that had accompanied him into recharge allowed his systems to start up without the shock that they normally did, allowing Barricade to remain in a pleasant state somewhere between fully online and complete recharge. He could recognize the powerful arms holding him close as belonging to friend, not an enemy or sick Decepticon, and they made him feel safe. The purring in his engine was still sounding, sending gentle vibrations through his chasis. A small smile formed on his faceplates, and he nuzzled a bit closer, a purr of contentment emanating from his vocals for a moment before quieting.

Feeling him snuggle back against him, Ironhide nuzzled and curled up around Barricade a bit more, letting out a soft murmur and kissed the smaller mech's audio cover plate gently. ~"Oooh, feels so good ta hold ya n wake up with ya in my arms again, 'Cade. I've missed ya so much..."~ he murmured softly, kissing his audio receptor, then gently kissing down his neck and shoulder affectionately, then just nuzzled his shoulder and hugged him tightly.

Barricade let out another purr, arching his neck to open it to Ironhide's kissing, his hands tightening briefly on Ironhide's arms, a variation on a hug from Barricade's position. His legs stretched out slightly before curling back up. ~"Feels safe here...No nightmares..."~ He murmured, a slight content purr to his voice. Everything else felt so far away right now, and like they didn't matter at all.

Red Alert had waited for the video feeds to come back on for the past few hours, and grew more and more agitated when they did not come online. Finally, with the early-risers in the base beginning to awake, Red Alert had decided that enough was enough. He left the security room, locking the door behind him and remotely patching into the security network, and headed for the brig. He punched in the code to open the door, growling when he discovered that the internal lock had been activated. "Slaggit all..." <"IRONHIDE! OPEN THE BRIG DOORS THIS INSTANT, OR SO HELP ME PRIMUS I'LL GET WHEELJACK DOWN HERE TO HELP ME GET THEM OPEN!"> To say that he was not in a good mood would be an understatement.

Ironhide's engine rumbled deeply and he gently turned Barricade to lay on his back so they could look at each other, one arm behind Barricade's head, his other hand caressing over the younger mech's chest and up to his cheek plate. ~"No... No more nightmares... fer either of us... Only beautiful dreams together... peaceful dreams..."~ he agreed warmly and leaned in, kissing him tenderly and wrapping both arms around Barricade to pull him firmly against his chest, both of them on their sides facing each other now. As much as Ironhide desperately wanted to interface lovingly with him, he didn't dare, knowing what had been done to his love. No, he would give Barricade all the tenderness and loving caresses, kisses, nuzzles against his forward sensory array, and encourage him slowly, letting Barricade chose when he was ready to reclaim the intimate pleasure so brutally stolen from him. He could deal with his own urges later in his quarters, but for now, he just held Barricade like he used to, reminding the younger mech of what they shared and what could be again, all he had to do was reach for Ironhide.
But the beautiful waking reverie he shared with Barricade was suddenly shattered as Red Alert shouted over Ironhide's internal coms, causing the burly mech to jerk suddenly and pull back from the kiss, only to groan heavily in agitation and hug Barricade close for a moment. ~"Slaggitall, Red!"~ he growled, then vented a heavy sigh. <"Dun get yer actuators in a knot, I'm comin', slaggit!"> he snapped back, clearly irritated. He gave Barricade a soft reassuring kiss and carefully got up, reluctantly pulling himself from the comfort of where he wanted to be to kneel next to the berth. ~"Red Alert's screamin' in my coms... He wants in the brig."~ He shook his head then, a pained look on his face. ~"I gotta shut yer systems down again er Red'll have my hide over it."~ he said then, and closed his optics, not wanting their precious peaceful moment to end and he pulled Barricade into a hug, his forehead resting against Barricade's as he carefully accessed the younger mech's command systems. ~"I'm sorry, 'Cade... I dun wanna do this... I'm sorry..."~ he whispered painfully and gently locked down Barricade's weapons, coms, and transformation systems again. He hugged the younger mech a moment longer, then reluctantly stood, pulling himself from Barricade's arms. ~"I gotta let 'im in 'fore he has Wheeljack blow the doors."~ he told Barricade, then looked away, pain clearly shown on his face and in his voice. ~"I'm sorry..."~ he whispered and turned away towards the cell door.

Barricade smiled, his claws gently hooking into Ironhide's chest armor to hold on closely as he nuzzled against Ironhide's hand, pushing softly into the kiss. When Ironhide jumped at the comm and pulled back, Barricade looked up with slight concern, and gave a slight roll of his optics and a chuckle when Ironhide growled the Security Director's name. He nuzzled his forehead against Ironhide's, closing his optics as Ironhide accessed the command protocols once more. ~"It's alright. You don't have to apologize for protocol."~ He buried his faceplates into Ironhide's armor before releasing him as he stood. ~"I don't have any plans anytime soon. My schedule's wide open!"~ He gave a joking grin, sitting on the berth, leaning against the wall. Once Ironhide had left, Barricade would put his normal scowl back on, and find some way to amuse himself.

Ironhide glanced back at Barricade a moment, offering a soft smile. ~"I love ya, 'Cade, never ferget that. I always did... always will..."~ he murmured softly, then stepped out of the cell and locked the cell door again. He then headed out to the outer brig chamber and by the time he reached the outer door, Ironhide snorted angrily and unlocked it, standing there with his hands on his hips, blocking the doorway. "WHAT?!" he bellowed loudly at Red Alert, clearly agitated at having been interrupted from whatever it was he had been doing in the brig for so long with all monitoring systems shut down.

Red Alert glared up at Ironhide with his arms crossed over his chest. "Is Barricade still functioning and why haven't you turned the monitoring system for the brig back on?" There was an annoyed tone to his voice, and his optics were narrowed. "I put up with it for a while, but considering past occurrences and encounters with Decepticons, especially Barricade, you'd better have a good reason for your actions." He was not amused.

Ironhide snorted derisively at Red Alert. "He's fine." he snapped back and turned so Red Alert could see Barricade through the open door sitting quietly in the locked cell. "See? Happy now? Good." he added curtly and stepped back in the doorway again. Unwilling to discuss what had occurred between himself and the smaller mech. No, he would not divulge something so personal, so private, to anyone, especially not the paranoid glitch Red Alert.

Red Alert scowled and dropped his arms to his sides, placing his hands on his hips. "And the cameras, Ironhide? Or, if you'd prefer, I could go drag out regulations that you've broken and have you spend some time in your own cell down here. Those cameras are in place for the safety of the prisoners. I've turned a blind optic to your disrespect of those regulations long enough. If what you're doing is not harmful to yourself or Barricade, a violation of his rights, or a threat to base security, then I really don't care what you decide to do with him in your free time, but I can't be sure none of that isn't going on when you decide to hide it."
