In The Sand Box! (Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, OPEN)

[Notitia]

Deunan gave Blake a smirk that said 'Ready or not try to keep up!' and she then darted away from him at a speed that was something most professional athletes could only dream of.

Smiling to herself, Deunan let herself feel free of professional obligation for a short time, and really enjoy the company of a friend - even one who loved her more than a friend would. Turning back to see what Blake was doing she smirked turned and stopped then wiggeled her aft at him and then started up a really relaxed jog heading down one of the many trails that would eventually lead them to the Canyon.

[Bloodshock]

Chuckling Blake took off after her letting her have the head start and his eyes wandered to her wiggling aft which he quickly looked away before he finally caught up to Deunan, easily jogging beside her."You just love making yourself a tease don't you." He said with a sly smirk but paused and grabbed her arm gently to pull her near enough gently kissing her cheek then to jaw bone and neck before he moved away to continue jogging. Though he looked back with a wink to see her reaction.

[Notitia]

Giggling like a sparkling, Deunan ran after Blake and catching up to him pinched his aft as she passed him. If she had to stop and ponder what was happening between her and Blake - or Notitia and Bloodshock if one thought about it - she would tell you that she hadn't been this carefree since she first met the Twins as a youngling, before she had lost her family.

Thinking back to what Blake had said when he had jogged up to her and before he had kissed her again, the blatent wording of "You just love making yourself a tease don't you." made her retort as she passed him after pinching his aft, "You have nooooo idea how much of a tease I can be, Hunny!"

Heading further down the trail that would lead them to the canyon overlook, she slowed enough to a walk that Blake could catch up. Reaching into her small denim backpack she carried she pulled out a small plastic looking container that when opened showed blue 'cookie shaped' snacks. Pulling two 'cookies' out she nibbled on one and handed the other one out with her left hand towards Blake as he came up to her. Smiling she finished up her 'cookie and uttered to Blake, "Energon 'cookies'. Made them the last time I was bored and needed a way to bribe the Twins into not pranking me for a while."

[Bloodshock]

Not expecting the pinch Blake slowed down a bit with a surprised gasp, playfully glaring after Deunan but hurried after her. Now he wondered just how much of tease she would be but decided not to push the boundries of their little flirting game. Normally he wouldn't be flirty or try that hard, just being quiet and being somewhat of 'gentlemen' as the word went around on this planet by human standards but he seemed to be doing more flirting then he had ever remembered doing this time.

When he caught up to Duenan he slowed to a walk but Blake took the 'cookie' curiously before she explained what it was. "Definitely would be worth bribing with." He said smiling and nibbled on it a bit,"Not bad Duenan."He commented as he ate a bit more of it as they walked towards the canyon.

[Notitia]

Smiling at the fact that Blake was enjoying the 'cookies' as well as her company, she walked with a light bounce to her step and started to hum a slight tune to pass the time, she knew it would take them a while to get to the Canyon Overlook so she decided that with the company she was with - Blake wasn't exactly bad looking to her holoform eyes - and with the snacks she had as well as a few containers of Energon stashed in her small pack on her back, she figured that they could go for quite a while whilst enjoying the scenery and what few critters that would scamper across their trail.

By now the sun had risen enough that the local campers would be awake and moving around, making it noisier as the day progressed. Luckily Deunan and Blake would be heading away from the usual hubbub that the area attracted with visitors, thus giving them the illusion of privacy for what Deunan decided to label as a romantic day together, unless something happened to throw it all into some kind of upheaval - in other words, unless the Decepticon's made a move on this area it would stay as calm as it was now.

[Bloodshock]

Blake continued to walk beside Deunan, enjoying her company yet his gaze was on her much of the time and he other times it was always on the landscape. He was enjoying the scenery and watching for any Decepticons who would try and pick a fight, something he wouldn't stand for considering the situation. For those he got close to he was protective and would support them no matter the faction. This was so with Deunan who he loved as a friend and more. Even the Autobots he'd fight if need be. It was a side Bloodshock rarely showed and though he was visibly relaxed inside he was on his guard and ready to spring if the time called for it.

[Notitia]

after what seemed to be 2 maybe 3 hours of walking they made it to the Canyon and Deunan leaned against the railing and stared at the natural wonder below her with awe, it truely was as breath-taking as the humans had described in their brochure online that she had looked at.

Sensing Blake behind her she focused on the beauty of the colored formation before saying, "I will never cease to be amazed by the natural beauty on this planet. I have only seen three maybe four other planets whilst travelling to Earth that could compare but never beat in the diverseness of beauty. It is because of this that I will fight to stop Megatron and his followers from destroying something as amazing as this." sweeping an arm in front of her to encompass the Canyon and the Snake River flowing below them.

Turning to face Blake she sighed and then spoke again. "Do you think me crazy for doing this? I mean why should I fight for a species that some of them don't want us here? And not to mention the hurt I have caused those close to me in the past few days. Sideswipe is like a brother to me, as is his twin, yet I actually yelled at my surrogate sibling as if he was Megatron himself and I doubt he will ever forgive me. The look in his Optics when he caught us together... I honestly never want to see it ever again aimed at me, but I truely will never give up that which is dear to me, which is you. My Spark is telling me that you are the other half I have been waiting on, and now that we are here together it is telling me to not let go. What do I do, Blake, what do I do now?" she added before she turned back to face the Canyon and wiped away a few stray tears from her eyes.

[Bloodshock]

Blake nodded in agreement as he came beside Duenan, gazing at the natural beauty of the canyon and river below finding himself wondering why as well. He supported the cause of returning Cybertron as it once was and the original goals of the Decepticons but the cybertronian ninja was beginning to wonder if that was even the goal anymore. What he observed now was nothing but death and destruction, the closer extinction of the Transformers then their obvious survival. Megatron had long since strayed from that goal, now he only wanted power.

"Duenan you are only following what your spark tells you, I do the same and am now." He said softly as Blake looked her in the eyes before she looked away and he reached over taking one of her hands in his own, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I do not blame Sideswipe for being cautious and hostile, this war has affected all of us in ways we don't wish to remember and I am sure he is only concerned for you. He doesn't want to see someone he sees as family killed." Blake explained before he pulled her into a loving embrace and brought a hand to her cheek.

"Deunan I believe you should do what you think is right, what your spark is telling you to do and not fight it. Trust me it'll do more harm then good." Looking towards the canyon he continued,"The fact is I doubt sideswipe is angry at you completely, just being protective and I don't think this is the wrong thing to do. In truth it only proves our factions can be together, friends or more."

[Notitia]

Smiling up at Blakes face she leaned into his hand that rested on her cheek whilst enjoying the embrace.

Blake was right, and she knew it she had to follow her Spark, do the right thing and conceiquences be damned. She loved Bloodshock/Blake with all of her Spark and nothing was going to derail it.

After hearing Blake talk about Sideswipe the way he did she understood now where Sideswipe was coming from, the War had left nearly all of them jaded, the loss of soo much life that hadn't needed to be lost was just begining to settle in on almost everyone's processors as they were starting to realize that they were now a dying species/race and if they weren't careful there would be no more Cybertronians.

"You're right Blake, and I should have given Sides the benefit of the doubt and I didn't, guess I owe him an appology and maybe a batch of Ratchet's High-Grade if I can figure out where he's hidden some of it. I truely love you with all of my Spark and I don't want anything to come between us, and that includes friends, family or Commanders let alone Factions. I long for the day when we can all turn around and say 'We are all Cybertronians, not just Autobot or Decepticon, we are truely One!' I just don't want to loose you, I don't even want to think as to what I would do if something happened to take you away from me." she said as she burried her face into his chest and listened to his Spark pulse.

[Bloodshock]

Blake looked back at Deunan, listening to her as he smiled knowing she now understood why Sideswipe had acted in the way he did though he couldn’t help chuckling about the high grade. “That old medic with high grade? I’d give twenty energon rations to see that.”He remarked before listening more and he nodded solemnly, knowing it was now a spark wrenching thought of the losses and the possibility of losing one another. “Deunan I love you more then I could ever say in words, more than anything in the universe is the best way to put how I feel for you. And I believe that no matter what may be in our ways no one will split us apart, because you are my other half, and the one my Spark has been searching for.”He said softly holding her close and resting his chin gently on top of her head.

[Notitia]

Laughing at Blake, Deunan shook her head and mumbled something about 'ducking low flying wrenches and not wanting any unwanted dents thankyou very much!'

She sighed happily when Blake confessed that she was his other half, the majority of Cybertronians never found their other half, and here she was with her other half being a Decepticon Bounty Hunter. Luckily for her she really didn't care what faction he was part of, so long as he loved her and she loved him.

As she stood in his embrace with his chin on her head, she slowly rubbed her hands up and down his Holoform's arms and snuggeled closer to his chest where she could here the humming of his Spark and she knew that hers was humming in tune to his, even though they were not even mated yet. She knew it would only be a matter of time before they did and she would feel totally complete.

[Bloodshock]

Chuckling a bit Blake stood there with Deunan in his arms, listening to their Sparks as they seemed to sing and hum in tune together, almost like a song. It was a relaxing sound and something he often listened to when meditating and it was what helped calmed his nerves if he ever felt anxious or angry. Though he knew it would only be any time now that they would be completely one, their Sparks at last merged and they would be able to feel one another much more closely then before.

Smiling at the thought and inwardly thinking he might have been wrong about love Blake lifted his head and gently put a finger under Deunan's chin, raising her head so they were eye to eye. "Since we're alone thought I'd do this." He said softly as he leaned down and gently pressed his lips to her's in a soft kiss knowing it might surprise her.

[Notitia]

Deunan jumped slightly when she felt Blake kiss her, she was honestly surprised that he had even done that and relaxed into the sensation and kissed him back with a hunger that was thrumming through her Spark.

Slowly pulling away after a short while, cheeks flushed and eyes sparking slightly, she stared at Blake and smiled.

"Ya know Blake, ya sure know how ta surprise a Femme. Not that ah'm complaining or anything. I truly enjoyed that experience and I wonder what would happen if I did this..." she said as she gently ran her hands up Blake's chest and then ran them back down towards the base of his shirt, untucking it and then gently running her nails up his skin, watching his eyes the whole time to gauge his reaction.

She knew they should stop at just kissing but she wanted to see how far she could go before they agreed to call a halt to what they were doing before they merged Sparks.

[Bloodshock]

Smiling at seeing her surprised Blake looked at Deunan after she pulled back a bit, watching her curiously as she spoke. But he shuddered a bit, closing his eyes as Duenan’s hands ran up and down his chest and feeling her nails on his skin. Opening his eyes to look at her again his eyes started to show a faint red glow and he was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable, the clothes he wore starting to almost feel constricting. But he knew they probably shouldn’t have doing this yet he seemed conflicted to stop or to continue.
“Primus Deunan…we really shouldn’t do this.”He said softly but couldn’t seem to stop himself from running his hands down her sides. The urge seemed sudden as they did this, he wanted to be closer to her while at the same time he knew it might be too soon but his spark was saying otherwise, already a faint glow showing from his chest.

[Notitia]

Deunan smiled more openly when she felt Blake's hands running up and down her sides, but even more so when she picked up the tell-tale faint glow from his chest where his Spark was located.

If she thought about what they were doing she would have to say that she was affecting him as he was her. She continued to run her hands up and down his chest under his shirt, even though her processor was trying to tell her that they should stop, find a more private and secure place before going much further, but her Spark was stating otherwise.

Her Spark was indicating that because her other half was right there that they should merge, become one being in a sense that most Organics couldn't ever hope to understand. Slowly she buried her face into his shoulder and sighed before looking up at his eyes and noticing the red tinged glow coming from them. She knew that if his were doing that then her own Gray eyes were slowly seeping a fluorescent electric blue at how aroused both of them were.

She also knew somewhere in her processor that soon she would have to report back in, whether it was via Comm. Link or in person was being debated in a portion of her processor as she held on to Blake as a quick shiver ran through her causing her to tighten her grip slightly on Blake's skin.
