Chapter Text
The sound of busy roads echoed in the streets, the flickering of lights made it a little hard to see your way through, but people never minded the flickering lights, or the horrible smell, most of the attention goes to a place called "naughty mechs stop", outside the building was a line of buy mechs, anyone can swing by and scoop up a buy mech.
The different buy mechs were scattered along the building walls, drift stood near the entrance to the building, he was leaning against the wall, he lifted his servo up and pulled at a collar around his neck, it was uncomfortable to wear, but he had no choice, only the manager could take them off, drift looked to hsi side a little to see a client holding a buy mech by the waist and whispering into the mechs audials, but that didn't bother drift.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Drifts attention turned to a mech 3 feet shorter than him, the mech was admiring drifts frame, drift turned his attention away and shooed the client off, the client glared at drift. "You'll regret that!" The client walked off to another buy mech closer to his height.
Drift sighed as he rolled his optics, he tugged at the collar once more, he hadn't realised that he was being eyed from a distance by two mechs, one with a green and black colour pallet, goggles and coattails, the other was a foot smaller than the green mech and had a blue, gold and white pallet, they both started approaching drift while drift didn't realise.
"Oi!"
The sudden sound of a mech calling out caught drifts attention as he turned to look at where the sound came from and saw two mechs walking his way, drift frowned a little, the mechs stopped infront of drift.
"Evening." Drift spoke softly but slowly to the mechs.
"Whats your designation?" The bot with the blue, gold and white pallet.
"Drift, my name is drift." Drift responded to the mech.
"Good to know, Ah'm crosshairs, this is mah friend cyber claw." The green mech spoke as he pointed a digit to hsi friend.
Drift didn't respond, just watched the two mechs.
"I'm going to go, okay?" Cyber claw spoke looking at crosshairs.
"Sure, just be careful mate." Crosshairs responded as cyber claw started walking off.
Once cyber claw was gone crosshairs turned his attention back to drift. "So, whats ah pretty mech like yahself doing 'ere? Doesn't suit ya." Crosshairs spoke with a grin on his face.
Drift only frowned at the comment, not saying a word, just watching the mech.
"What's ya rates 'ere?" Crosshairs asked, resting his servos on his hips.
"We generally rent our services for 700 credits for a single megacycle or 3000 credits for a solar cycle." Drift responded softly, looking down a bit.
"Any longer periods?" Crosshairs asked as he stepped a little closer.
"There... one that sells for 20,000 credits for a deca-cycle... but most clients don't rent for a deca-cycle for an escort..." drift felt a bit nervous but hid it well.
Crosshairs then proceeded to pull out a credit chip from his pocket and held it in between two digits. "Give meh a deca-cycle." He spoke with a smug grin on his face.
Drift almost choked when he heard the words "deca-cycle", he thought for a moment about the offer, before taking the credit chip and heading inside, he held the chip close to his chest plate.
When drift arrived to the counter, the desk clerk met optics with drift. "Name of client and the payment." The clerk asked holding a servo out for the chip.
"The clients name is crosshairs, and he is paying for a deca-cycle." Drift responded nervously as he handed over the chip. The mech froze at the sentence with wide optics.
The mech looked at the chip then to drift. "A deca-cycle, you got lucky, drift, real lucky, you do know that, right?" Drift nodded at the mech as the mech proceeded the payment before scanning the collar around drifts neck, the mech placed the chip on the counter and pushed it forwards, drift picked up the chip.
" see you in a deca-cycle." The mech said, drift nodded. "Next!" The mech dismissed drift and drift made his way to the entrance.
As drift past other buy mechs, he heard their whispers, some surprised, others not, once drift got outside, he went back to crosshairs.
"All settled?" Crosshairs asked, drift nodded.
Drift froze at the feeling of an arm around his waist, he looked up at crosshairs.
"Keepin meh appearance up, ah got a place 'ere that ain't too far, its ah 3 minute walk." Crosshairs said as they started walking.
While they walked through the busy streets, drift felt very nervous, so he kept close to crosshairs, they walked for 3 minutes then arrived at an apartment building, they walked in and went to the elevator, once in, crosshairs clicked a button that said "f9", drift saw it was the second top floor, all of a sudden the elevator started moving, and this startled drift a little.
"So... why ya sellin' yahself for grimey creds for?" Crosshairs asked, killing the silence.
"I... that's classified information..." drift responded as the elevator stooped.
Once the doors opened, crosshairs walked out and drift followed, they walked down the hall and stopped at an apartment door, crosshairs opened the door and walked in, drift followed and stood by the window as crosshairs sat down, the silence was back as drift didn't know what to say, so he just looked at the window, moments past as drift just starred out the window, fiddling with the collar around his neck.
"Its a nice view..." drift said trying to kill the silence.
"Yeah, its a plus, I s'pose..." crosshairs responded.
Drift silently looked back at crosshiars, crosshairs was sitting on a chair, drift turned around to face him.
Drift slowly walked forward and proceeded to sit down on crosshairs lap, he wrapped his arms around crosshairs neck and proceeded to lean forwards.
"What are ya-" crosshairs was cut off by drift suddenly pressing their mouths together.
Crosshairs shut his optics and pressed his servos against drifts waist, he then separated from the kiss. "Wait, ah ain't gonna force ya ta do nothin' ya don't wanna do." Drift just nodded and got up.
Croshairs spoke again and pointed to a door. "Go in there, there's a door to the right." Drfit looked in the direction of where crosshairs pointed before bowing his helm to crosshairs then walking to the door, the door opened and drift walked in, there was a door to the right, he went to the door and opened the door before walking in, to the right was a wash rack and a mirror on the wall in the middle of the wall, drift went to the wash rack and clicked a few buttons before the door opened, and he went in, as soon as the door shut, he was sprayed with water, the collar on hsi neck was waterproof, naughty mechs stop paid lots of money for the collars, the collars were programmed to beunhackable, and sturdy to avoid the collars breaking off, the water ran for a minute before turning off and a gush of warm air was blown at drift.
Once the door opened, he stepped out and examined himself in the mirror, then he exited the wash room to find crosshairs sitting on his berth, drift stood by the door, crosshairs held a data pad in his servo, then he glanced at drift.
"Just gonna stand there or are ya gonna recharge?" Crosshiars asked, drift said nothing and walked over to the empty side of the berth and laid down on his back as he sank into the padded berth.
Crosshairs proceeded to hand drift the data pad, drift sat up and looked at the pad, it had a question on it.
Impossible to remove without a key, records audio, used to keep track of positions. Is that the function of that thing on your neck? Nod if so.
Drift starred for a moment before looking at crosshairs, he then proceeded a small nod.
"Thought so, we'll work on that, for now, rest." Crosshairs spoke as he took the data pad back and put it away.
Drift then proceeded to lay down on his side, back facing crosshairs and powered down into recharge, crosshairs did the same thing.
