@Ghost_rider_killable this is for you😁

Arcee's POV

I wasn't too enthusiastic about going to the Arctic, but when Optimus assigned Bee and Bulkhead to the south side of the frigid glacier, I felt some random wave of relief. My one chance to tell Optimus how I feel. I'll have to play it off as if I'm putting the mission first,but I was going to do that anyway as I don't want to be very obvious.

Bulkhead coms in at the Base, "Ratchet we'll need a bridge. We might've found something."

"Standby," Ratchet replied as he walks to the groundbridge console and opens a portal. Both Bee and Bulkhead haul in a massive ice block with a container of some kind frozen inside. Some type of pod, probably ejected from Cybertron eons ago.

Optimus appears into view and asks, "Have we found anything more about our Arctic find?"

"Not yet, the pod can't be opened while it's frozen solid." Ratchet answers.

Optimus looks down to me and asks, "Will you accompany me tomorrow to the Arctic?"

My processor sorted through the words that came from his mouth, not fully understanding why he wants to take me of all the other bots. Then again they needed to take a mandatory defrosting procedure.

"I would love to join you Optimus," I reply, slightly blushing. Perhaps he will possibly have the same thought I do of telling the other how we feel. But as the saying goes, the mission comes first.

I don't wish to have Optimus as a partner but a companion. As I've had very bad luck holding onto Tailgate and Cliffjumper, but that tends to happen in a war. I know he can handle himself but I feel as though I would be the burden that he would get hurt if someone would happen to me.

I brush these feelings aside for now and awaited for tomorrow to arrive.

Optimus'POV

Aside from Bumblebee and Bulkhead taking their defrosting procedure, I would have sent them out again, but Ratchet would've protected against it. I need the time to tell Arcee the truth of the feelings I've been having towards her, but I need to strategically figure out how to go about it.

There was still the mission at hand, which is to find out what there was out there in the Arctic that's been having our sensors go off. I volunteered myself and asked Acree to join me as we investigated the north side of the glacier.
"Arcee and I will discover out more of our Arctic find."

"Only until your sensors sound. Remember, once your core temperatures reach the blue zone, hi

Both Arcee and I walk through the groundbridge portal into the whipping winds of the freezing Arctic. I look down to the scanner and press a button to turn it on, and the needle begins to point towards the northwest as I wave it slowly in the air.

"Let's get moving," I announced.
Arcee nods as we walk closer into the frigid depths. We come across a flat mountain like slab of ice, and Arcee begins to climb to cover ground up there. I stay down below to find another way around the ice.

*Beep beep* *beep beep*

My sensor went off, and I spoke through the com to check in with Arcee, "Arcee what's your status?"
"My sensor's going off, guess we should call for pickup before things get chilly."
I announced through the com again directly to base, "Optimus to Base, core temperatures have reached the blue zone. Prepare to activate the groundbridge."
Expecting to hear Ratchet's voice I hear static.

I start to wonder how communications were down. Arcee climbs down to me and comms in to Base. "Arcee to Base, come in. Ratchet? We need you to bridge us back... Nothing."

We walk some distance trying to see if it's our signal strength that is the issue. I try once more and comm in to Base. "Optimus to Base, do you read me?"

Still static, watching Arcee falter in the cold, I walk back towards her and help her up. She asks while brushing her arm off, "you sure a long drive wouldn't hurt? I hear Miami is beautiful this time of year."

"The closest temperate climate is too distance Acree. Attempting to reach it will expend too much energy and hasten the freezing process. Until Ratchet sends for us, and he will, it's best we seek shelter and insulate ourselves."
I responded, reassuring Arcee that the others will find a way to contact us.

In the meantime we continued to walk until we found a inlet cave like structure. We hunkered down, alert and awaiting for help to arrive. Some time passes and I decide to check on her. Arcee hugged her legs, slowly drifting off.

"Arcee, wake up." My words made her flinch and as she rubbed her optics, she replied, "Just resting my eyes."

"The longer we remain alert, the longer we remain alive."

"What do you suggest? Wait, how about a game? It's called, who screwed things up back at base."

"Our predicament can be the result of a simple malfunction."

"Caused by Bulkhead. Let's see, no comlink, maybe even no power. The big lug probably tripped over a cord. He's never been so graceful. I remember when we first arrived on Earth, and Bulkhead walked into those power lines. Who knew he could dance like that," She chuckles while reminiscing.

I smile behind my battle mask and added, "Bulkhead may be...too large for this world. But his inner strength is without bounds. One must not be measured by size alone."

As the day dragged on, so did the storm, intensifying in the process. Our systems were slowly succumbing to the freezing cold, and we both laid down onto the bed of ice and snow.

"Want to know the worst part? After battling Cons all these years, getting smacked down, shot at, blown up, this is how our lights go out?"

"This may not be the finish that we had planned. But if we are to become one with the Allspark..."
I drudged on, as I felt Arcee's small servo touch mine. I turn my wrist over to envelope her servo into mine.
"It's been an honor serving with you, Optimus Prime."

I smile and nod her way. "May I please try something with you? I've seen how humans try to keep warm in the cold so I thought it might work for us. If that's ok with you Optimus?"

I felt curious as to what she was referring to, so I let her do so. I nodded, giving her permission to do as she stated.
She climbed on top of me, and as I sit up a bit, she leans down onto my chassis. I begin to feel this warmth from her spark. Her shivering gradually began to ebb away. "Is this what they do to stay warm?"
"Well yes, but also there is this." She answered, holding my cheek to place her dreams onto mine. I was taken aback of how delicate this was, and I held her waist with my one servo, my other holding the back of her helm to deepen the kiss.

She had wrapped her arms around my neck, practically melting within our embrace. Our core temperatures were rising steadily as I deepen the kiss by slipping my glossa inside her mouth. She gasped at the feeling of my dominance.

I peek open an optic as I hear the groundbridge finally open. At once I slowly begin to lift her up to set her down on the ground and stand up myself, Bulkhead emerges, warning us to get down. As he falls to the ground purposefully, a swarm of scraplets flew through the groundbridge portal and towards us. I stand firm and cover Arcee with just my arm, only to have them freeze, then fall due to the immediate temperature change to put them in stasis. Though also due to their momentum of flying, they almost all pelted onto me, bouncing off my arm and torso.

I look down at the scaplets in confusion, wondering how they had infested the Base. Bulkhead rubs off the ones that still cling to his helm and says, "I'd invite you in, but the place is a mess."

After a well needed defrosting procedure, I held onto Acree's servo. She clutches onto mine in return, smiling up at me. I grin, thankful to be back home alive.
