Don't Go.

"SAM!!!" Lennox yelled as he watched the young man continue running towards Optimus. Lennox didn't want anything to happen to Sam. He had just come to realize how he felt for the boy. When he saw Sam take a hit and go flying though the air, his heart stopped before he was racing alongside Mikalah towards Sam's body. Grabbing the useless girl and throwing her aside he began CPR, all the time thinking, 'Please don't leave Sam, I haven't told you. Please don't leave me.'

But when the CPR failed, the medics arrived and tried to restart his heart electrically. He couldn't believe it. The boy with a strong and good heart, with the sun-rivaling smile, and great personality was gone. Mikalah was screaming and crying in Epps arms, not looking at Sam, so Lennox to the opportunity to lean over Sam and press his cheek to the boy's and whisper something he had been holding back ever since he had first set eyes on him.

"Sam, it's Will. Listen to my voice very carefully. I love you Sam. I don't want to loose you, come back to me please." He whispered into Sam's ear, and slowly pulled away, letting a tear fall. It hit Sam's cheek. Lennox sat back and let the tears fall, asking God why he had taken his greatest love, since his wife left, away. He didn't notice Sam's eyes jolt open or Sam sit up straight. What he did see was Sam come across the sand towards him with some strange kind of tool in his uninjured hand, smiling. Will stood up so quickly he felt a little dizzy. Sam was alive. When Sam reached Lennox, he stopped when they were side by side.

"I love you too Will. After I save Optimus, we'll talk." Sam whispered, before striding over and climbing on top of Optimus's still body. He raised the strange tool high above his head and plunged it down with a roar. Optimus's body jerked and Sam jumped down, right into Will's waiting arms. Optimus thanked Sam, Jetfire sacrificed his parts to Optimus so that he could stop The Fallen. And, of course, Optimus won.

On the trip back on the aircraft carrier, Will was laying in his cabin, just thinking, when there was a soft knock at the door. Getting up, Will opened the door and smiled at Sam, who smiled back before stepping inside, wrapping his arm's around Will's neck, and bringing his lips to Will's. Lennox wrapped his arms around Sam's waist, and shut the door with his foot and then walking backwards, kissing Sam as much as he could and everywhere he could. Upon the backs of his legs hitting the bed, he fell back, taking Sam with him.

After the love making, both men lay on the bed. Will then realized something as he stroked Sam's hair, which was laying on his chest.

"It took all that for you to tell me you loved me?" He asked. Sam looked up, smiling.

"Hey, you said it first." Sam said, raising up and kissing Will on the mouth again, before rolling over, pulling Will with him, and both men went to sleep, happy in the knowledge that they loved and were loved.
