Wilted Rose by Chocolatebonbon

Fembotsunite note: Be sure to read that first. And be sure to fave the ORIGINAL

This morning I woke up feeling…weird…not the good kind either…my throat hurt and my mouth was dry…I assumed it was nothing except when sat up my head hurt…I was able to keep the pain to myself preventing Backwhip from feeling them through the bond that morning but as the day went on the headache grew worse and worse and my anxiety came back

“You all roight Rose?” Backwhip ask probably having noticed me wincing and my face expression as I fed Backflip.

“I’m…fine…could you feed Backflip for me?” I asked holding Backflip and the bottle I was using to feed him in the air.

Backflip didn’t mind being fed by Backwhip, but he was getting fussy trying to reach for the bottle again after I separated him from it.

Backflip chuckled “Of course me Rose, give ‘im ‘ear” He took Backflip in his left arm and took the bottle in his right hand.

“Thank you Backwhip…” I left before Backwhip could say anything, walking to the living and sitting on the couch with Rena who was feeding Helios at the moment.

“Morning Rose” she said with a smile after I sat down on the couch but tilted her head when I laid down and curled up into a fetal position “Are you ok Rose?”

“I’m fine Rena” I lied “I just didn’t get enough sleep” I offlined my optics to look more convincing and it worked.

“Oh…okay Rose!” I heard Rena whisper but then I heard Backwhip come into the room and I felt Backwhip being placed near me.

“Rose lahve, are you sure you’re all roight?” Backwhip asked again but this time sounded a little more concerned than the first time he asked, luckily Rena answered for me.

“Oh Rose is fine dear” then she whispered “She’s just didn’t get enough sleep”

While they were talking I gently grabbed Backflip and put him in my subspace, he always gets sleepy after he ate anyways so he’ll be fine for the time being.

I wasn’t paying attention to Rena and Backwhip’s conversation but I’m pretty sure they thought I was asleep because they were whispering now and I could feel Backwhip stroking my helm and then rubbing my shoulder…it felt nice…but unfortunately I really did fall asleep because when I woke up I was in the recroom at the Decepticon base feeling worse than ever.

I don’t know how long I’ve been in recharge mode or how long I’ve been laying on this couch…but I just wanted to go home…

~“Backwhip?”~

~“Yah me Rose?”~

~“…Take me home please?”~ I didn’t mean to sound so pathetic and weak…it’s just how I felt…

~“…Aw roight Rose…I’m on me way”~

~“okay…”~ I ended the com. Link after that and waited for Backwhip to show up; lucky for me he wasn’t too far away so I didn’t have to wait long…

He came into the recroom and asked “What’s wrong me Rose?” he sounded a bit concerned as he kneeled next to me and placed his hand against my forehead.

“No I’m fine I just want to go home…” I lied, just laying there, not making any move to remove his hand from my head but then I started to cough badly and I it took me a few minutes before it stopped.

This made Backwhip withdraw his hand but now he looked more worried than before “Ya all roight me Rose?”

“Mm-hmm…I’m fine…can we go home now?” He didn't look convinced but he didn’t say anything he just scooped up into his arm and stood up cradling me against his chestplate a bit as he picked Rena up and put her onto his shoulder. I wasn’t looking at Backwhip but I could tell he was looking at me as he walked out of the recroom.

I didn’t want him to worry so I didn’t say anything at all…I just wanted to go home…and crawl back into the berth...with a blanket...and something for my migraine...
