They had been partners for a while, and while their attraction to each other wasn’t very strong on a physical level their intellectual attraction had been enough to make up for that. Breakdown was sure that if either of them had been sparked a femme they would have been completely attracted to each other like nothing else in any world. He had never been so amazed by the differences in their sizes as he was now, his large hand genteelly wrapped around the slight red one.

 

“Breakdown…” Knock Out’s voice was soft, a slight hitch in his vocalizer as he spoke making it sound as if there were liquid in his throat. The larger con wanted to tell the medic to save his strength, but it was pointless, they both knew he wouldn’t be able to do the repairs, Knock Out himself might not have been able to. Knock Out was going to go offline today and there was no stopping it, so Breakdown held his words and waited for Knock out to speak. “I… I’ll wait… for you.”

 

With those words said Knock Out’s optics dimmed and much of his body went limp. Breakdown set the form down on the ground, knowing his spark wasn’t gone just yet, but it would be soon and he needed to finish his last bit of business so that he didn’t make his partner wait too long.

The attack had been suicide, that was undeniable, but Breakdown hadn’t been looking to survive it. His hands were splattered with energon, some of it his own, as he stumbled back to the form of his partner, the barely noticeable twitches in his form signaling vital functions shutting down the only sign that he hadn’t left the other alone too long. He hadn’t won his fight, not by a long shot, but he had done enough damage that the others could finish the fight, which would be as sweet a revenge as he would get. 

 

He collapsed just a few steps from Knock Out’s form, panic welling in him, his want to let his partner know he was back overwhelming him. Ignoring the pain and weakness he felt he rolled himself over, working until he was on his back, next to his partner, and once again he took the other’s hand in his own. There was a sound like a sigh and as he watched the color faded from Knock Out’s form. Turning away from the sight he looked up at the dark, night sky and let go of everything, feeling his consciousness fade around him.

I’ll follow you into the dark.”

 

A/N: I’ll let you decided who Breakdown attacked for yourself.
