Additional: oral, multiple orgasms, fingering, cum eating
Rodimus knew it was stupid to agree to this and yet here he is.
“Keep your palms flat and relax your head, let it hang down,” Thunderclash’s calm instruction reverberates through the air so close he can feel it against his plating, too close.
Rodimus follows the instructions and sighs, taking deep vents as Drift had taught him to do when meditating. He’s trying to ignore the proximity, the embarrassment of being talked through this with Thunderclash.
“You need to stretch your back up,” Thunderclash splays his hand over Rodimus’s belly and gently guides his torso into a shallow curve that stretches the cables in his back pleasantly, “like so.”
Thunderclash’s hand is warm and firm against Rodimus’s plating, leaving a lingering warmth as he slides it away. Rodimus takes a very deep vent. He pushes away the physical sensation with the help of the little mental exercise Drift had taught him where he centers on one point, one object. He really shouldn’t have mentioned his interest in learning yoga to Drift, he really shouldn’t have accepted Thunderclash’s generous offer when Drift turned out to be busy. Rodimus was trying to be better, trying not to let Thunderclash get under his plating but now he was on his plating, all around him and Rodimus was finding it was starting to get hard to vent.
“This is the ‘cat pose’” Thunderclash taps Rodimus to let him know they’re shifting positions, “It’s a pretty good beginner’s pose. I’m not going to start you on anything too advanced today.”
“Okay,” Rodimus nods and swallows, “Sounds good.”
“Lie on your back,” Thunderclash’s words hit Rodimus like Optimus in his altmode.
His processor provides very unhelpful and distracting scenarios that Thunderclash could give that command and he tries to distract himself from those thoughts but the only present distraction was Thunderclash maneuvering him into the set up for the next pose. His touch glides over Rodimus’s arms, straightening them out then he moves to bend Rodimus’s legs so the flats of his pedes are on the floor.
“Now, push up your hips until you feel a stretch in your cables,” Thunderclash keeps one hand on Rodimus’s knee as he talks and that’s almost distracting enough for him to miss half of what Thunderclash says.
Rodimus pushes himself up and vents out, keeping his optics firmly on the ceiling and not on Thunderclash’s stupid, encouraging smile. He begins to relax just as Thunderclash puts one hand on his lower back, easing him up further until his cables burn pleasantly. The fact that Thunderclash knows where his limits are doesn’t bother him nearly as much as how he doesn’t process the name of this pose or what it’s supposed to do. All of his attention is pinpointed on Thunderclash’s touch as he eases Rodimus out of the pose, going so far as to soothe the abused struts with a sympathetic rub.
“Now you’re going to stay on your back but you’re going to put your pedes together,” Thunderclash nudges Rodimus’s pedes towards each other.
Rodimus tries to follow his instructions but becomes focused on the position of Thunderclash hovering between his now splayed-out legs. Not realizing how far he could really go, Rodimus finds himself surprised as Thunderclash pushes down on his knees so his legs almost reach the floor. Rodimus sucks in a vent at the sight in front of him. Thunderclash with both his hands on his knees, pushing his legs apart while looming above him.
“This is the ‘Reclining Bound Angle Pose’” Thunderclash eases Rodimus’s legs back up, “It helps with flexibility in your hips but it looks like you don’t need much more work there. You’re already pretty flexible.”
Rodimus feels the warmth that’s been steadily building skyrocket with Thunderclash smiling down on him. A brief, fleeting thought passes in Rodimus’s mind that most of Thunderclash’s would probably kill to be where he was right now.
“How about we move on to the next one?”
Rodimus just nods, not trusting his voice in this instant. Thunderclash slides his hand up one of Rodimus’s legs, sending little prickles of pleasure through Rodimus’s sensor net and then grips his pede and lifting it up into the air. The room feels warm as Rodimus’s vents start to get heavy and he doesn’t hear what Thunderclash is saying beyond the deep baritone of his voice. It’s a slight shift in position, just a twist of the hips as Thunderclash tries to reach out for his hand and his thigh brushes Rodimus’s panels and to Rodimus’s embarrassment they all but fly open. He’s not fast enough to close them as Thunderclash looks down at the tell-tale noise of minor transformations and freezes.
“M-maybe we’ve had enough for one day,” Thunderclash flexes his hand on Rodimus’s pede but makes no attempt to move.
Feeling bold, Rodimus lets his other leg fall to the side, widening the space between his legs and tries to smirk up at Thunderclash but it comes out more like a heated grin. He can feel his face color as Thunderclash’s optics darken.
“Maybe we could go a little longer?” Rodimus hears the excited tremor in his own voice, feeling suddenly empowered by Thunderclash’s heated gaze and the possessive hand that finds its way onto his thigh, “I’m sure there are plenty other positions you could show me.”
Thunderclash moves back and Rodimus is worried for a moment that he misread everything but then Thunderclash’s voice breaks the quiet.
“Kneel.”
A shiver runs down Rodimus’s spinal strut and he quickly pushes himself up onto his knees. Thunderclash wraps one arm behind his waist and leans over him, that strong frame of his completely enveloping Rodimus. This was definitely a bad idea, he was exposing himself, exposing how much he wants Thunderclash’s attention but Rodimus couldn’t find it in himself to care as Thunderclash has him bend backward. Rodimus balances on his arms and tenses at the feeling of Thunderclash’s lips trailing kisses over his chest. Thunderclash rubs over his thumb over Rodimus’s node as he dips the tip of one finger into him then slides it completely, finding Rodimus already slick and ready.
“Do you think you could hold this position for me?” Thunderclash’s vents tickle his plating, making him shiver.
“Y-yeah, I-I think so,” Rodimus gasps as Thunderclash hits another cluster of nodes, “Just don’t stop.”
Thunderclash chuckles, the soft rumbles shaking Rodimus’s frame, “Is this what you had in mind when you asked to learn yoga.”
Rodimus moans, fighting against his urge to close his legs around Thunderclash’s hand as Thunderclash removes his arm from under him, leaving him to support himself.
“Ha, no,” Rodimus says with a sharp vent in as Thunderclash adds another finger, “Just wanted to know what all the fuss was about…”
“Well then, I’m very glad that I get to be your teacher,” Thunderclash purrs as he curls a hand around Rodimus’s spike.
Rodimus clenches his fists as Thunderclash strokes him in time with the rubbing on his anterior node and the slow pumping of his fingers in and out of him. It’s all too much and not enough at once.
“It’s your fault,” Rodimus gasps as Thunderclash gently scissors him open, “Those hands of yours… they should be illegal.”
Thunderclash doesn’t say anything to that as he continues to work Rodimus. It’s a long enough pause that Rodimus is tempted to try to get back up but then Thunderclash is taking his spike all in one go into his mouth, removing any willpower Rodimus had to get up. Rodimus pushes himself up as much as he can into that hot glossa that’s lapping at the underside of his spike as Thunderclash pushes deeper into his valve. He couldn’t think, didn’t want to with Thunderclash’s hot mouth sucking on his spike and those thick fingers. Without warning, Rodimus feels himself tip over the edge as Thunderclash hits his interior node and sucks hard on his spike so he’s spilling into Thunderclash’s awaiting intake while his valve clenches hard around Thunderclash’s fingers, mercilessly pumping into him. When Thunderclash finally releases him from his hold, Rodimus lowers himself with his arms fanned above his head with his knees bent, and just pants as he recovers. When he has enough sense to look up to Thunderclash, his face grows hot as that bastard actually licks his lips with that sinful glossa of his.
“Think you can take more?” Thunderclash smirks above him and Rodimus does his best to keep himself from pouting.
Never one to back down from a challenge Rodimus responds, “What? You’re tired?”
Thunderclash beams at him, sending a fluttering feeling through Rodimus’s spark and he has to look away from Thunderclash, his face far hotter than before.
“Good,” Thunderclash takes ahold of his legs and with that ridiculous strength of his, begins picking them up, “I have something I’ve always wanted to try. Let me know if you feel any discomfort.”
Thunderclash lifts Rodimus’s legs completely and moves them so his pedes are together on the floor and above his head with his aft high up in the air.
“Frag, Rodimus, how are you so naturally flexible?” Thunderclash says above him, somewhat obscured by his legs in front of his face.
Something about hearing Thunderclash, someone who’s supposed to be the ultimate example of a true Autobot actually curse sent curls of heat through Rodimus’s chest. He has to take a second to clear his intake before replying.
“What can I say?” Rodimus laughs, “We speedsters are just built for maneuvering.”
“I suppose so,” Thunderclash hums, running a hand over Rodimus’s aft and down his leg, “Do you know what they call this pose?”
Rodimus has to get himself to ignore the very distracting rubbing over his aft, “N-no…”
Thunderclash chuckles to himself and whispers cheekily, “The ‘Plow Pose’.”
Rodimus snorts a laugh then gasps as Thunderclash moves his legs apart, squeezing his thighs as he does so.
“I am modifying it somewhat so I can…” Thunderclash clears his intake awkwardly before continuing, “have better access.”
Before Rodimus can ask what he meant by that, Thunderclash situates him between Rodimus’s legs, kneeling above him to line up his spike with Rodimus’s valve. From this angle, Rodimus can see everything including Thunderclash’s thick spike that’s lined with red biolights at every white stripe that contrasts with the dark blue ones that lead to a broad, dark blue tip. It reminded him of those candy canes popular on Earth. He can also see Thunderclash’s wet valve and he’d reach up and touch it if his arms weren’t firmly flung out behind him. He watches as Thunderclash pushes into him, his valve lips stretching out for his spike and he moans as he feels and watches the spike enter him slowly. Thunderclash thrusts slowly in and out of him while he watches completely enraptured as the lubricant covered spike moves, moaning deeply every time it disappears into his valve. Lubricant and pre-transfluid begin to dribble down from his valve and onto his plating as his spike weeps pre-transfluid onto his belly. Thunderclash thrusts faster now, hitting Rodimus deep and shaking his frame, pounding into him relentlessly. His fingers dig into Rodimus’s thighs as he slams his hips forward, panting and moaning at the feeling of Rodimus’s hot valve tighten around his spike. With a cry, he overloads deep into Rodimus. Feeling Thunderclash’s hot transfluid fill him with a burst of charge, Rodimus overloads, his spike spilling transfluid onto his belly as his valve milks Thunderclash’s spike for every last bit of transfluid.
Thunderclash slowly pulls out of Rodimus, lubricant and transfluid following his spike, gushing out and dripping down onto Rodimus’s face. He moves Rodimus carefully so he’s laying completely flat, running his hands down the length of Rodimus’s body, taken in by the beauty of his plating covered in pink transfluid and heavy condensation. Bending down, he kisses the mixed fluids off of Rodimus’s face and as he’s pulling away, Rodimus pulls him back down into a real kiss. It’s slow with their glossas pressing lazily against each other, the press of Rodimus’s lips against his sending him into a spiral. They part far too soon for Thunderclash’s liking, venting hard. He scoops Rodimus into arms and settles him into his lap so he can hold him close as he peppers kisses over his face and neck.
Rodimus sighs with deep content and snuggles into Thunderclash’s broad chest, “We should do yoga together all the time.”
Thunderclash laughs and presses his forehelm against Rodimus’s, “I would like that.”

Snøhetta's Harvard HouseZero aims to "solve one of the world's biggest energy problems"
Harvard University, Snøhetta and Skanska Technology have teamed up to retrofit an old house, demonstrating how existing buildings can be made more energy efficient to help address climate change.
Dubbed Harvard HouseZero, the project calls for transforming the Cambridge, Massachusetts, headquarters of the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities, which was founded in 2014 by the university's Graduate School of Design (GSD).
The centre is housed within a cedar-clad, pitched-roof home that was constructed more than 80 years ago. The three-storey, timber-framed building is situated on a residential street near GSD, which purchased the dwelling in 2011.
The project aims to demonstrate how existing structures can be modified so they consume less energy.
"HouseZero attempts to address the global environmental challenge of climate change by focusing on existing buildings, which account for energy inefficiency and carbon emissions on a vast scale worldwide," said the team, which comprises Harvard University, architecture firm Snøhetta and Skanska Technology.
"Before now, this level of efficiency could only be achieved in new construction," added Ali Malkawi, professor of architectural technology and founding director of the centre.
"We want to demonstrate what's possible, show how this can be replicated almost anywhere, and solve one of the world's biggest energy problems – inefficient existing buildings."
The home will undergo a number of major overhauls.
The plan calls for improving the building's insulation layer and creating a more air-tight envelope. Ample daylight will be provided via new and enlarged windows and skylights with high-insulation values.
"HouseZero targets daylight autonomy, radically reducing the need for electric lighting," the team said. "Sculpted window shrouds protect interior spaces from direct sun during summer months to reduce required cooling, yet allow winter sun into the space to reduce seasonal heat demand."
Indoor air quality and comfort levels will be constantly monitored, and will inform a system that automatically opens and closes windows.
"Ventilation is controlled by a window actuation system, which employs sophisticated algorithm-based software and room sensors to automatically open and close windows to maintain a quality internal environment," the team said.
On the east facade, the team will install a glazed, solar chimney that uses sunlight to create thermal updrift. The vent will draw hot air out of the building’s basement, which is being converted into an event space.
The plan also calls for new flooring made of concrete with a high level of slag cement, which is a byproduct of iron blast furnaces.
Adding a high-density material such as concrete to the timber-framed structure will enhance its thermal inertia, enabling the building to "smoothly buffer swings in local temperature".
An underfloor radiant system and ground-source heat pump will also be installed. “The minimal heating and cooling systems are driven by a small responsive pump, adapted from ultra-efficient Nordic technology,” the team said.
Energy for the home will be generated via rooftop photovoltaic panels and stored in a battery for use on cloudy days. Surplus energy will be fed back into the city power grid.
A solar thermal panel on the roof will supply hot water for occupants.
Ultimately the team aims for the house to generate all of the power it uses. "HouseZero targets a long-term goal of complete energy autonomy," the team said.
The design of the interior calls for open plans, glass partitions and exposed wooden beams. Faceted walls in a new stairwell are intended to help muffle circulation noise and reduce disturbances to the workplace.
The interior material palette includes natural clay plaster, birchwood and nanoceramics – all chosen for their performance capabilities and local availability. Using non-emitting materials was a guiding concern in order to preserve air quality.
The team also aims to reduce "hidden emissions" that are generated throughout the building's life cycle. Measures are being taken to reduce emissions during fabrication, transport of building materials, construction, maintenance and decommissioning.
"Incremental reduction in emissions made now and in the immediate future will have far wider reaching benefits than larger cuts made later, when the effects of climate change are likely to be far more dramatic," the team said.
The revamped centre will serve as a flexible laboratory, where new components for energy exchange can be evaluated. The hope is for the house to serve as a prototype for similar projects.

Architecture "hasn't caught up" with sustainability goals says AIA
"The long-term goal is to pioneer new energy-efficient solutions to be released into the market," said the team.
"As a first-of-its-kind research project, HouseZero demonstrates how to transform a challenging building stock into a prototype for ultra-efficiency, rapidly reducing the level of reliance on energy-intensive technology while simultaneously creating comfortable indoor environments."
Sustainability remains a major topic of concern within the design profession. The American Institute of Architects recently said that many architects are still not addressing the environmental impacts of their buildings, in reaction to Aaron Betsky's opinion piece for Dezeen that criticised the AIA for giving awards to buildings that boast sustainable credentials but lack other design merits.
