Work Text:
Perceptor sat in his berth with Brainstorm cradled on top of him, one arm wrapped around him while the other held a data-pad. Their hab suite was dark, just the faint shimmers of the stars coming from their window was brightening up the room by little. Both of them sat there silently, just enjoying each others presence as Perceptor read trough the data-pad in his hand.
Today has been.. strange, to say the least. Brainstorm has been all cuddly and touchy with Perceptor throughout the whole day. He was an clingy bot, yes, but today he seemed to never let go of Perceptor, following him wherever he went. Perceptor didn’t mind of course, he just found it strange but didn’t call him out on it.
When they finally went back to their hab suite after a long day to finally recharge, he wasn’t surprised to see Brainstorm climbing on top of him in their berth, taking a seat as he wrapped both of his arms around Perceptors frame, burying his face in his neck, his wings twitching comfortably. Perceptor didn’t mind the affection at all, even enjoyed it if he was to confess. He placed one of his arm around the other mechs neck, gently caressing his head as he held the data-pad that he had picked up earlier with the other. It was some sort of old historical book, not something that would pique his interest but he had nothing better to read.
He could feel his optics closing on his own after some time. He yawned, before shutting off the data-pad and placing it on the nightstand as he tried to lay down which he was suddenly greeted with a tight squeeze from the bot on top of him who had been sitting motionless for some time. He would have ignored it if he hadn’t felt the bot trembling as his wings dropped down suddenly.
“Brainstorm?” Perceptor called out with a mix of surprised and concerned tone. There was no response from the other bot for some time, before Perceptor felt something leak down onto his neck as a painful sob echoed in the silent room. Brainstorm was crying.
His face quickly turned into one filled with concern as he gently raised Brainstorms face out from his neck, looking at him with worried optics as the other mech kept on sobbing.
“Hey, hey, whats wrong?” Perceptor asked with a soft tone, petting the other bots head, trying to calm him down. Brainstorm placed his head onto his chest, his vents hitching in pain as he only tightened his hug, his whole body trembling as his systems weeped in agony. Perceptor grabbed ahold of his face again, raising the other bots head to force him to look at him, his thumbs going over to wipe away the coolant that kept leaking down his face.
“Its okay, you can tell me. Now just calm down, whats wrong?” He repeated himself, waiting patiently for a response as he kept gently rubbing Brainstorms face with his thumb.
He was only greeted with more silence, before the other bot took a deep vent in, seeming to try and prepare himself to talk.
“Will you ever leave me?” Brainstorm finally spoke, his vocalizer trembling in pain. His servo went out to grab Perceptors that was gently holding his face.
“What?” Perceptor questioned, sounding surprised. “Why would I ever leave you?”
“I dont know, its just-“ Brainstorm weeped, trying to calm down. “What if you suddenly disappeared, or worse, died? I dont want to see you dead, I dont want you to leave me, or anyone. never again.” He squeezed Perceptors hand as tightly as he could, as if he would loose him if he didn’t.
“Brainstorm, Im not going to disappear nor die suddenly. Im here, with you, and I dont plan on leaving anytime soon.” Perceptor spoke in a rather stern but also worried tone as he kept on caressing his face. “I dont know where you got that idea from, but you dont have to be afraid. Im here, with you.”
That seemed to do the trick, even if it was little Brainstorm seemed to calm down little by little as the streams of coolant running down his face finally slowed down.
“I dont want you to be afraid, I promise I will never leave you, not yet.” He whispered as he pulled Brainstorm to place a gentle kiss on his lips. It reminded him that he was there, and will always be there for him. Brainstorms wings twitched from behind as he letted himself fall into the kiss. One of Perceptors servo ran down on Brainstorms body, coming to a halt at his waist as he gave a gentle squeeze, his other servo still holding onto his face, pushing the bot up to him. Their kiss seemed to last forever, never wanting to let go of each other until Perceptor pulled away.
Brainstorm had stopped crying completely, as a faint hue of pink had appeared on his face. His servos trailed up to Perceptors neck, wrapping them onto it with a soft grip. Perceptor looked down at the bot, adoring him in every way. Oh, how did he get so lucky with his partner?
Brainstorm was the one to pull each other for the second kiss. He vented softly in satisfaction, his face growing only redder. Perceptors kiss felt so gentle but also overwhelming at the same time, his lips were so warm it was almost too addicting. The scientists affection was almost always perfect, it made him feel happy, pleased and almost asking for more. His wings jerked upwards, fluttering in satisfaction. He shutted his optics, letting the other bot take control for both of them as they both pulled away again.
“I love you, I love you so much.” Brainstorm mumbled in such a loving tone it made Perceptors spark ache. He took ahold of both of Brainstorms arms before finally gently laying him onto the berth under them. He had him under him, with himself sitting right on top. He bent over closer to the mech, so close that their chests were almost touching. Brainstorm had both of his servos placed on the other bots waist, his wings fluttering in happiness. It seemed that he was feeling at least better now.
“I love you too.” Perceptor whispered back as he leaned in further to close the gap in between them at he went down to kiss the side of Brainstorms face, which he received a soft moan in return.
He moved down onto his neck, gently twisting and massaging the tensed cables with a servo before pressing soft kissed all over his neck, sucking onto some of the cables. Brainstorm almost squirmed at his affection, whimpering as he shut his optics close. Oh he was definitely sensitive over there. His cooling fans whirled to life as he wrapped both of his legs around Perceptors lower waist. The more he kissed, the more he became more aroused. It almost felt too overwhelming now, its like he ached for more and more. He slid his servos down right over Perceptor inner thigh, giving it a tight squeeze as he-
“Not today.” Perceptor whispered into his audials as he raised himself back on a slightly sitting position as he pushed Brainstorms servos back down.
“Lets just enjoy the moment today, sounds good?” Brainstorm was almost disappointed, but he didn’t complain, nodding his head as a yes. He could definitely work with that.
Perceptor gave him a final kiss on his forehead before he got up from his position, pushing Brainstorms legs back down while doing so, moving right next to Brainstorm as he laid next to him. He wrapped both of his arms around Brainstorms chest, pulling him closer. The other scientists wings folded back as he turned to face Perceptor laying next to him, hugging him as if he was a teddy bear (as humans would call it.) as he placed his head right under the other bots chin. They both laid there silently, enjoying their cuddling session for some time.
“Goodnight Stormy.” His lover whispered to him as his optics fluttered close, both of them falling into recharge in their warm embrace.
