A day with Jazz

Rating: PG 13 (Fluff)
"Vroomm, Vroommm.." You mumble, turning Jazz's steering wheel to the left then to the right while stopped at a red light, your hands firmly grasped around his smooth leather. This, right here, is exactly why he drives you. Just in case you ever wondered why, this is it. Dork. You feel him start to wiggle, as if he's trying to suppress a hearty laugh. You stop dead in your tracks and stare deep into his rear view mirror until he's done silently chortling at you, then you begin again, vrooming to your little heart's content. He finally just bursts out laughing at you, unable to contain it any longer. "Ya' goofball, let me drive, the light's about to turn green!" Jazz politely commands with a chuckle, your hands slowly fall into your lap as you begin to kick your feet. You watch as he starts to drive off and hit a bypass to.. some where, who ever knows with him. He'd asked you to go do something with him today, but refused to explain to you what exactly it was. "We're almost there!~" Jazz announces excitedly, you feel his shocks start to bounce softly, like he's fidgety. You wonder what he has in store for you two today.
You watch tons of acreage of foliage pass by you on either side, as a stark contrast to the previous bustling city just about 25 minutes ago. Beautiful lush fluffy trees and pretty long reeds gently flowing in the slight breeze.. it brings a smile to your face and makes you very excited about where ever you're heading. Jazz pulls off onto a dirt like road.. or perhaps a once paved one that's now busted up beyond recognition, the path is thin but he manages to get by with ease. You can barely start to see a building up ahead, made of faded red bricks with a rusty metal roof.. and are those gas pumps? He pulls up to an abandoned gas station and parks on the side, you're surprised he didn't hit one of the many pot holes scattered about the few little paved areas left. "Here we go!" He declares merrily, opening his driver side door for you to get out.
Slowly, you exit the vehicle, then you stretch big and wide to ease your poor achey joints. You hear Jazz start to transform behind you, you turn to sneak a peek but he's almost done by the time you manage to catch a glimpse. "Ta-da! A really old gas station we can rummage through. I thought it'd be a nice spot for me to just be with ya', ya' know, without disruptances or worries about bein' seen and all that junk.. Well, what do ya' think?" Jazz asks, a hint of nervousness barely slipping past his radar, it warms your heart to think he cares that much about your opinion. You look up at him, smile gleaming brightly, he can't help but smile just as big right back at you. "Alright good, so what do ya' wanna do first?" He asks cheerfully, he crouches down right in front of you to be almost eye level with you. After surveying the area, you turn to him and smirk, he knows that smirk well, he promptly sits on the dusty ground and you climb into his lap. You grab him by the audial fins and give him a big ol' smooch on the lips, he can't help but giggle and fall over onto his back, like a lovesick turtle. You lay against his chassis, enjoying the alone time with your big bot. Just silently listening to the thrum of his spark and his soft, easy breaths. You hear him sigh contently as he tucks an arm behind his helm and wraps the other around your torso, his hand carefully cupping your backside. You glance under his visor, he's looking up at something, you follow his gaze to the sky.. ah, big fluffy clouds. You turn onto your back and watch them too, taking the time to point out any funny looking ones you see to get a good laugh out of him.
But after a bit, that gets old.. so you start to break shit instead, with his supervision, of course. He can't have you getting all banged up, now can he? You use big sticks to break in some old bricks and even throw some old bricks at the old bricks to break the bricks. You look up at Jazz after a while like "Well, aren't you gonna do something too?" and he responds by very softly nudging in a few bricks with his hand which causes half the upper part of the wall collapse. He just stands there and stares at it, then back over at you, you stare at it in awe before you quickly look back up at him, mouth agape. "Woah! That was awesome!" You exclaim, he chuckles at you. "Alright lil' anarchist, we gotta head back to the ship soon, it's gettin' pretty late. Anything else ya' wanna do before we head back?" He queries, tilting his helm at you while you ponder. You do grabby hands towards the big hole, he crouches down and holds you up to it, holding you in a single hand, then he turns on his headlights so you can see in. "See, nothin' in there. Just dust and debris." He explains, you look around throughly, carefully holding onto Jazz's servos as you even lean into the hole a bit to look in deeper. You huff in annoyance, there's nothing in there at all! Just fallen down ceiling squares and broken bricks. There's not even a table or a broken slurpee machine to chunk shit at. You plop back down onto his hand in defeat, his headlights switch off and his posture straightens as he giggles at your response.
"That all, sweetspark?" Jazz asks softly, he brings you up to his face and nuzzles against you, trying to ease your grumpiness. "Yeah.. I had fun, thank you for bringing me.." You admit shyly, a sheepish smile spreading across your features as you think about all the love he's been giving you recently, he smiles widely at you. "Any time, sweetspark." He replies before carefully transforming around you and plopping you onto his driver's seat. "But we've still got a few more places to go." Jazz admits suddenly as he quickly peels out of the tattered parking lot and down the dirt road, then he drifts onto the bypass. "What?!" You exclaim happily, quickly gripping his safety bar overhead. "Things to do, so many things.." He mumbles, teasing you. "Like what?" You ask eagerly, just begging for any sort of clue. "Mmm, you'll find out soon enough." He replies smugly, you huff playfully. "Fine.. keep your secrets." You grumble, your seatbelt tightens around you, clearly Jazz is trying to get a rouse out of you, but you ignore him, you're not playing along until he tells you where you guys are headed. He puts on some tunes for the road, surprisingly mellow ones that almost make you sleepy.. that combined with you watching the sky turn from colourful and vibrant to slowly fading into black.. you get incredibly sleepy. And before you know it, you pass out with your head propped up against his driver side window.
You awaken slowly, blinking a few times to try to clear your blurry vision. You look over towards where you thought heard a noise, you see Jazz's holomatter avatar in the driver's seat, ordering something from a drive thru. You look around the vehicle, that little stink switched your seat out while you were sleeping.. how did you sleep through that? ..Must be his sticky spy hands. You look back at him once he's about wrapped up ordering, he pulls up to the next window then he glances over at you with a smug smirk. "You think you're so slick, lulling me to sleep like that." You grumble, his smile gets wider, showing off his beautiful white teeth. "Well you are." You admit grumpily, looking away from him with a sigh as you cross your arms. He reaches over and penches on your forearm playfully, then someone at the window begins to speak.. just muffled enough to where you can't make it out. His attention shifts to them, you glance over at him before you reach over and turn off the radio to try to hear what he ordered, but when you hit the button it just.. doesn't turn off. Figures, he doesn't want you to know the surprise yet. You groan and wiggle around in your seat, looking for ways to aggravate him, like digging your nails pretty softly into his leather seats.. he ignores you and finishes up paying (tricking the card reader with a fake card), before he slowly drives away. At this point you're having a tissy, arms crossed again, brows furrowed, and your slouched way down in the seat looking straight ahead, full on pouting at him. Not because he's taking you out to eat, but because he knows you well enough to know how to put you to sleep and that makes you very grumpy. He looks over at you and chuckles before giving you a light poke on the arm. You turn your head to look at him, still pouting. "Come on~.. You know you want some of this delicious food, it's your favorite." He teases, and he's right, it's from your favorite take out place and it's your favorite order, which just makes you even madder, because he's so damn good at babying you too. You look down at his lap at the food, he snickers at you before noticing the traffic starting to move and begins watching ahead instead. You snatch the food containers from him and mumble a thank you. He starts to suppress a laugh almost immediately, such a grumpapus you are.
"Shut up." You retort, he chuckles softly at you. "Well, what else am I supposed to do when you're all sleepy and fussy?" He responds, grinning widely, it seems that he just can't help but be happy around you, you're so cute to him. "I'm not even that sleepy anymore." You argue, but what you don't know is that your hair is a complete mess from you being flipped from one seat to another, your eyes are half lidded and your barely speaking above a sleepy whisper.. but you're not sleepy, right? "Sure you're not." He teases. "I'm not." You retort once more, he nods silently as he makes a turn. "Mhm." He calmly replies, being completely compliant because he knows he's right, but you wont take no for an answer. "Whatever, thank you." You thank him once again, you've clearly forgotten you already thanked him earlier. "You're welcome, honey bear." He responds, very purposefully using a nickname that's mushy to egg you on. You ignore him and decide to dig into your food instead, not giving him the light of day. "If I get food in your cabin.. it's your fault... But I'll clean it up later." You declare, he tuts at you. "No need, I know the risk when gettin' you the food." He admits softly, you look over at him, just watching him drive as you slowly take a bite of your food, clearly "not" sleepily zoning out. His small content smile slowly grows wider, he tries to keep his attention on the road, but you staring at him like that is really distracting.
"Like what you see, baby?" He asks light heartedly, you slowly nod and take another bite of your food. The dark atmosphere, the beautiful streetlights beaming in through the windows in a predictable rhythm, the soft mellow tunes, the vibrations of Jazz's engine, and knowing your safe and sound inside of Jazz makes you more and more sleepy as time goes on.. and the warm food in your lap and in your stomach certainly isn't helping.. And Jazz knew it wouldn't, this was very purposeful. He knew you couldn't resist a good rest if he wore you out doing something fun then filled your little belly full of food. Like a child, you'd be out. A trait that all humans seem to possess, put them some where warm and safe with a full tummy and they're out like lights.. But he had several reasons as for why he did this. For one, he wanted to see if you even trusted him enough to fall asleep in him, second, he wanted the pamper you, and lastly, he wanted an excuse to have you stay over at the ship.. specifically under his care. You're with him now, might as well let you stay with him, right? It'd be cruel to remove you from him since you fell asleep there, with him. At least in his mind that's how it's gonna go. In short, he wanted more bonding time with you and to test your "friendship". (Totally not an obvious romance.) He put a lot of thought into this too, even timing the day out perfectly so you'd leave the gas station right at average human sleepy slump time, sunset. He glances over at you for a moment, his features soften upon laying eyes on you, you're slowly starting to drift off, all snuggly and full, leaning into the seat. Thank Primus he's almost at the base so he can snuggle with you.
A few minutes pass.. or you think minutes, and you feel the car stop. You're barely able to stay awake and alert for long enough to register Jazz shifting around so he can move you to the back seat. His normal sized hand wraps around you, picks you up, his holomatter form lays in the back seat and his bot hand lays you on top of his holomatter self. His bot hand disappears, transforming back into a piece of the car and you hear him giggle at you as he nuzzles your face with his. "Such a nerd.." You barely muster a mumble as you snuggle into his neck, you feel his arm wrap around your back and a hand start to massage your scalp. Within seconds, you're out like a light. Being inside Jazz was bad enough, but cuddling inside of him with him? You had no chance. Him cuddling you, stroking your hair, his warmth enveloping you, his scent mixing with yours, the soft rise and fall of his chest, and his sweet, soft spoken whispers as you doze off.. no chance. None.
Later on, Optimus comes out and just stands and stares at him for a while before finally deciding to gently poke on one of his tires with his foot, to which Jazz responds by explaining the situation and the fact you were so tired and that you must stay here for tonight.. Optimus is no fool, he knows what happened, he knows Jazz, but he decides to play along anyway and allows him to watch over you for the night. Primus, you two might as well spark already, everyone knows that's where it's gonna go. A while after Optimus goes back inside, Jazz transforms quietly and carefully with you in hand, holomatter avatar disappearing as he does so, and then he proudly marches into and through out the ship's halls with you. Many bots give him envious glares, mumbling "lucky" under their breath, Ratchet even popped him on the back of his helm as he passed by, to which Jazz responded by giggling. He grabbed a glass of energon, chugged it down, then went straight to bed with you. He carefully tucked you onto his chassis so he can feel you breath, hear your heartbeat if he listens hard enough, and make sure you're safe and sound as you both rest. He drapes a warm blanket over you and then softly lays his hand across your body.. This.. is his version of heaven.
