Work Text:
A long day of Rescue Work tired out Blades, he walked into his quarters only to find a note neatly folded on his table.
Curious, he opened the note.
"They say, "Not even a medic can cure lovesickness." ... You don't think...?" Blades stopped reading it once it registered to him the signature of Roses' name on the note.
Blades smiled gently, not thinking Rose was the type to send a letter of this accord.
"I've tried. It didn't work, I still like you a lot." Blades wrote back to Rose. Feeling satisfied with the writing. He then slid it under Roses' door. Waiting in his room.
Rose then wrote back to Blades after reading the recent one by him. "Maybe the cure for it is vitamin me, because my cure is vitamin u."
After she finished the note, Rose slid the note under the door of Blades' Quarters.
Blades perked up when he heard the sound of a page slip entering his otherwise quiet quarters. Immediately after, he decided to take it and opened it up. Earning a chuckle from the helicopter bot.
After he read the paper, he walked back to his desk and wrote out another letter.
"Are you made of copper and tellurium? Because you're CuTe." He remembered hearing that one from Dani. But in that case, he thought it'll be fitting for this scenario.
After he finished with writing the letter he sent the letter under the door of Rose and waited in his room. Then a slip of paper entered his room, and he looked towards the paper. And saw this.
“ Remember the night at the fireworks Festival?”
A light blush creeped on his faceplates, another note slipped under his door, He picked up the letter and read it.
“It was a beautiful night, I wasn’t eager to leave my quarters at all, but seeing something as beautiful as that… Made me think…”
Blades blushed. He settled down at the desk.
“Made you think? I honestly have no idea what you’re thinking most of the time, you really are hard to Read Rose. But do tell me what you’re thinking, you’re intriguing me.” Blades slipped the note under the door and waited.
“ Well, have you fallen in love before?” The next note slipped under his door, and once he read it, he smiled and worked on a response.
“I have.” Blades responded. It took Rose a couple of seconds to respond, but sure enough, in all messy handwriting and scribbles were these words.
“I always adored this certain mech for a while now, it’s hard to fathom how much I actually love this mech. I wish he’d love me back, but I don’t know if he ever knows of my feelings.” Rose slipped the letter under Blades’ door, and by reading it, his spark raced.
Was it… Him? Was the mech him? Although he did catch Rose hang out more with Heatwave on rescue missions. That’s because EMT and Fire Rescues go hand in hand, so they were bound to bond over the trips.
“I was advised to tell the person, but I want to get your opinions since you’re very smart.” Blades frowned, so it must’ve been Heatwave. Otherwise, why would she tell him? Blades felt sparkbroken but in shaky handwriting decided to write up a response.
“I would go up to the mech or femme and confess right then and there, thank them for all the special days you gave me, and how grateful I want to be your friend but also your lover. Tell them how you feel, label all the things that made you fall for them, and why they mean so much to you… And send it off to them.”
Blades finished the letter and slipped it under the door, not within a moment Rose held the note in between her servos. She hugged Blades holding him close. “I love you, Blades.”
Blades blushed, he fumbled around for a piece of paper. It was crumbled up, he uncrumbled the ball, it was the fireworks festival poster, handing it to Rose, she looked over it, initially confused, but turned it around.
“I love you Rose, I’ve been waiting to say this, The Fireworks Festival was supposed to be the day when I confess. But I chickened out and didn’t want to do it, because… My feelings are weird and mushy right now. But I love you, and I wish to be with you forever. As sparkmates.” Rose read, Rose hugged Blades tightly and the two shared this moment together.
Rose smiled in content for the first time in ages, and smiled gently.
While Blades was over the moon that he finally confessed.
