Chapter Text
Jazz cleared up his desk and put all his datapads into his subspace as the teacher was announcing something, he didn’t really care and wanted to get out of the school as fast as possible because it was going to be a long school holiday for one And a half vorns and the teacher was just telling the class to stay safe.
”Remember to stay on the sidewalks and look both ways before crossing the road, don’t do anything hazardous or life threatening class” the teacher urged them out of concern ,”Yes teacher” the entire class said in unison before standing up to leave the Science room since science was his last period.
He went to his locker where there was a heart shaped cutout of Tarantulas of Protohex, his crush whom he admired ever since this stellar cycle, it was during P.E. when they were forced to partner up together And Jazz found himself drawn to Tarantulas’s weirdness and fondness for bugs, he took something out of his subspace which was a stylus he stole from Tarantulas during History class.
He kissed the stylus for good luck hoping no bot would see him since he was known to be pretty popular And have lots of friends since he was nice and chill, he placed the stylus inside his locker and waved it goodbye before closing it and looking to the side where Tarantulas was putting stuff in his own locker.
Jazz walked over to him enthusiastically and tapped him on the shoulder “Hey Tarantulas, Are you doing anything or going anywhere this holiday?” He asked in a hushed tone so that the affection in his voice wasn’t too obvious, Tarantulas shook his helm frustratedly “No I’m content with watching Springer this Vorn” he stated while closing his locker shut and heading over to the other side of the hallway to the other side of the lockers.
Jazz followed along right beside him giggling “It’s so nice of you, it’s nice that you like spending time with that green bundle of joy, your really generous- I’m probably going to the beach in Crystal City this holiday” he specified, ”I didn’t ask” Tarantulas grunted in a blunt and rather rude tone without looking at him, Jazz lowered his helm “Right sorry-“
He bumped into another bot and nearly fell down, they both stumbled and Jazz saw that he had accidentally bumped into Prowl of Praxus, the perfect academic prodigy with perfect grades and perfect performances with little to no personality at all, Prowl grumbled in annoyance “Watch where your going” he said before he realized that it was Jazz and immediately changed his demeanor.
”Are you alright? Your not hurt are you?” He Voiced with concern as he tenderly grabbed Jazz’s wrist and inspected it with care, Jazz yanked his wrist back roughly “I’m fine Prowl don’t bother” he said with and underlying tone of disgust, there was something about Prowl that either creeped him out or gave him the ick, he showed little to no emotion and looked too perfect to be true, straight Denta and polished plating, they way he would just stare And stare and never blink.
Tarantulas Shoved Jazz aside so hard he fell on the floor and almost got stomped on by other bots “So Prowl, are you doing anything special these next two vorns?” Tarantulas asked in an annoyingly overly confident yet somehow nervous Tone while leaning against the nearest pole, Prowl stared at Jazz who was still on the floor and glared at Tarantulas “I don’t know yet”
”Cool” Tarantulas choked out before trying to think of something else to say “Uh- I lost my stylus earlier and I don’t know how I’m going to help Springer with his homework without it, have you by chance seen it?”
Prowl pinched his nasal ridge “There's more than two hundred students in this high school Tarantulas, how the Frag am I supposed to know where your stylus is, I barely even have any classes with you” He explained clearly agitated, Jazz immediately got on his knees and pulled out his own stylus “I have an extra!” He stated while holding it like a proposal gift directly to Tarantulas.
it was awkward because bots were passing by and stared at him with various emotions, Tarantulas cautiously took the Stylus with only two digits like it was radioactive and dropped it into his subspace “Thanks…?” Tarantulas said awkwardly while Prowl was still glaring at him but now he was focused on the stylus before resuming glaring at tarantulas.
”No problem!” He said nicely as he stood up, there he noticed how Prowls door wings had flared up, was he mad or something? “Anyways I’ll see you after the holiday?” He said directly to Tarantulas though Prowl must have interpreted the sentence to himself instead so he smiled which Jazz thought was impossible “I hope to see you too” he said to Jazz, Jazz had to mentally fight the urge to cringe.
”I’ll see you too after the Holiday Prowl” Tarantulas said fondly, Prowl changed his expression into his usual blank one “Ok” was all he said before turning around and leaving as everyone else was doing, Tarantulas looked defeated and Jazz just giggled.
Once Jazz had left the hallway and walked along the sidewalk he felt something pounce on his back strut so he turned around and tackled the perpetrator “Ricochet!” He giggled as his Twin spark-Brother laughed “Jazz! Where were you? I was waiting for you for so long and I searched everywhere!” His twin complained while playfully punching him in the shoulder pads.
”Sorry Sorry!” He apologized “I was just talking to my crush” he whispered in a slow tone, Ricochets face contorted into disgust “Ew that weird bot? The one who’s obsessed with bugs and experimented on himself in the science laboratory so many times?” Ricochet gagged as they walked on the sidewalk to get to their neighborhood.
”Don’t judge him! He’s sweet and nice, and he’s really good with young Sparklings” Jazz pleaded as he nudged His twin in the sides, Ricochet scoffed “That's only his coverup, what if he’s trying to lure young protoforms so he can experiment on them too?”
”Ricky!” He scoffed while elbowing him hardly ,”I’m just saying! He didn’t flinch when we did dissections last breem, you’ve fallen for a freak and you have terrible taste Jazz” Ricochet insulted him or rather his taste in bots, Jazz crossed his servos and scoffed “Oh shut up”
Soon enough they both reached their neighborhood, The young Sparklings were playing around on the streets And the adults were chatting, it was comforting so Jazz immediately transformed into his alt mode which was a shiny black Porsche and drove straight to his Sire and transformed last second so he could tackle his sire into a hug.
His pedes clung to his sires own pedes like a cyber koala, His sire pat him on the helm “Hey Jazz, how was school?” His sire asked him while his twin tackled their carrier instead, Jazz looked back at his Sire “Great, when are we going to go to Crystal city?”
“Oh! Uhm…” his sire trailed off “Sorry Jazz, me and Your carrier have some work that has to be done here so… I’m afraid we’re not really going anywhere this holiday” His sire hesitated to say, disappointment was immediately shown on Both of the twins face plates, ”it’s alright Sire, we understand” Jazz said in a bling tone before releasing his grip on his sire and entering their habsuite.
“On the bright side you can recharge late this cycle!” His sire called out in an attempt to Ease the mood but the twins had already entered, Ricochet threw himself on the Couch And remained there until he fell into recharge out of tiredness, Jazz opted to go to their berthroom instead since he didn’t know what else to do.
Once he was in their berthroom he sat down on his rolling chair and stared at the computer he had gotten for his creation cycle celebration last stellar cycle, he turned it on and waited awhile before his home screen could be seen along with all the apps he had, his home screen was made by himself using photoshop where he took a leafy background and added various bugs to it, especially Spiders.
There wasn’t really much on the computer, after all it was bought with the purpose for education but Jazz supposed he could use it for other means, he went to the AppStore and scrolled through multiple games that didn’t seem to catch his optics, that was until he saw games in the romance genre.
he supposed he could use a few tips for his growing crush on his classmate so he browsed through all of them until he saw one with an absolutely cute art style, It was called Spark beat Literature Club! And it was a dating sim too! It was just what he needed so he immediately clicked the download button And waited for it to load, in the meantime he laid down on his berth which was right under Ricochets and fell into recharge.
