Mr. Lonely by Akon
She never understood why he acted the way he did. She never understood why they argued in the first place. They were a bonded pair and were supposed to be deeply in love. Sure they had their share of petty fights every now and then, but this time...this time it was a disaster area.
Leiana sat in the bedroom of her apartment pondering what had happened several days before. It wasn't her fault, she felt. It was his fault. He was the one that came to the wrong conclusion about her and a guy friend she had known for several years. Why did he have to be so misinterpreting of her relationships with other people? The dark-skinned, young lady remembered the argument so well.
-FLASHBACK-
It was nothing. That's all it was. He was just a guy friend she knew since middle school. Although, yeah, the guy had a crush on her, but he knew she had a boyfriend who she loved very much and would never, ever think of cheating on him. But when they were parting ways from a cram session for a class, Sunstreaker had shown up seeing the kiss on the cheek the guy gave to Leiana before heading away.
Sunstreaker was angry. Extremely angry. How dare that fleshy male think he could put his disgusting mouth on my Lala! His engine roared in dissatisfaction as he geared it and skidded to a halt blocking Leiana from crossing the street.
"Get in." He growled.
She was surprised to see him. She didn't notice he was around. He must have blocked our bond so he could surprise me by picking me up. She thought. A small smile spread across her face as she slid into the passenger seat and her mate revved down the street, not even stopping at traffic lights or stop signs. It was so fast, she had to hold onto the seat, nails imbedded in the new leather.
The yellow mech felt his mate holding on for dear life, her fingernails burying themselves into his seat. At this kind of time he would have shouted at her to be careful where she put her nails, but it only fueled his anger to no extent.
Leiana wondered why he was being so quiet. And what's the speeding and breaking laws? I don't I want to get pulled over by the cops. Especially when Sunstreaker doesn't have registration! She panicked a little before beginning a conversation with him. The silence was too bare.
"Sunstreaker, is everything okay?" She asked with concern. He revved his engine in response not wanting to say a word to her. "Okay, fine. There's something wrong with you so you better tell me right now." Still no response. The freckle-faced young woman pursed her lips together and angrily banged on his horn.
The sound of his horn was irritating as it was continuously pounded upon. Not being able to take anymore, he pulled onto a dirt road and into the woods where he would be covered when he transformed into his bipedal mode.
I wonder where he's taking me? She wondered as trees kept getting thicker every second they drove past. Finally, she felt her mech skid to a halt, opening the door and dropping her out onto her behind. She glared at the car while rubbing her backside hoping there was no bruise there later on.
Mechanical whirrs and grinds were heard as she glanced up at Sunstreaker in all his bipedal mode glory.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Sunny?" Leiana yelled at him, standing on her own two feet, hands braced on her hips. "You trying to kill me all of a sudden?"
The yellow Lamborghini's blue optics pierced right through her. "Why" Was all he could ask.
She blinked. "Why what?"
Metal ground together as he fisted his hands at his sides. "Why in the pit did you let that ugly male touch you? Kiss you?"
Her eyes widened. He saw that?It was nothing though. Just a kiss on the cheek from a friend.
"It was nothing, Sunstreaker. He's a friend of mine from school. He goes to the same college as me and Jade do."
"You...let...him...touch...you." He slowly stated with each word.
Leiana scoffed. "You can't be serious? Listen, he's an old friend that happened to be in my class at college and we were studying together. Not a big deal." She shrugged. "Besides, he was thanking me for helping him."
"By kissing you? Is that how all humans thank those who help them? Because if it is, I'm surprised that every single one of you humans haven't been making out with Ratchet yet!" He growled out angrily.
Her eyes widened even more, then narrowed in her fury. "How dare you even insinuate that I would do something like that! And no! Humans aren't like that! At least not all are." She pointed up at him. "But you have no right to judge me, Sunny!"
"If you humans aren't like that, and you aren't, then why did you let him kiss you?" He argued.
The chocolate-eyed femme blinked. He caught her there. But she wasn't like one of those girls who thinks giving her body away was some thanks. Or a guy thinking he could thank a girl for helping them by jumping into their pants. It infuriated her even more just thinking about that. And the fact that Sunstreaker would think her and her guy friend to be so low.
"I don't have to explain myself to you! He and I are just friends! I mean, sure he had a crush on me in the past. But it was before I met you. Besides, there's no harm in kissing anybody on the cheek. And when he did, he didn't mean anything by it but just a thank you and leaving it at that. Why can't you understand that?"
"No. I'll never understand it. All I know is, you are my bonded. My spark mate. My spark partner. A spark mate would never allow another near them that could threaten a relationship between them and their bonded mate. Never."
"So Colin is a threat to our relationship? Are you blind? He's just a friend."
"Not when he kisses you, he's not." Suddenly, Sunstreaker transformed back into his alt mode opening his passenger door. "Get in. I'm taking you home."
"No. Take me back to the base."
There was a stone silence until...
"No. I don't wanna be near you right now. I'm trying to calm myself enough to even drive you the short way home."
At that moment, everything in Leiana's world shattered.
How could he?
Why would he? They were bonded. Did he really mean that?
–End FLASHBACK–
Her eyes squeezed shut and fists clenched in anger. Burning tears treaded down her face and she didn't know what to. Slowly, she let herself fall back onto the bed.
Sunstreaker...
Deep sleep came to her...
...And so did dreams of her Sunstreaker.
-----------BASE-----------
There were more dents in his chamber walls than anywhere else in the base. Dents that made Bumblebee and Prowl angry. Optimus had put them in charge of fixing anything in the base that needed fixing and Sunstreaker wasn't helping by going on his rampages every single day.
Lonely
I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody
For my own
The days passed by. They were agonizingly slow and long. But he knew he deserved it. After the way he had treated his spark mate, he needed the punishment.
Sunstreaker knew his bond with Leiana was strong and could tell if she was telling the truth or lying to him. But he was fueled by anger, he blocked the bond from her altogether not allowing anything of her to flow to him. And the day after the incident with her happened, he couldn't stand it, opening up the link between them. There was no response from her end except for sorrow, pain and...truth.
I'm so lonely
I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody
For my own
I'm so lonely
Truth! She was telling the truth and I didn't trust her word! How could I be such a glitchhead? He was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, hands clutching his head and squeezing. His paint job was fading away and a few scratches were visible around his arms and legs. In a situation like that he would have whimpered and whined about it, but he was so upset with himself. Would she even forgive him?
Yo
This one here goes out to all my playas out there man ya know
Got to have one good girl who always been there man
Like took all the bullshit
Then one day she can't take it no more
And decides to leave...
Yeah...
It devastated him. It truly did. The lonesomeness he felt without her was eating him up inside. Mirage, Ratchet and Skyfire knew how he felt. They had spoken with Sunstreaker over the past few days about their experiences of a broken-hearted bonded. There was nothing but sharp pain in their sparks. Not being able to hold their femme. Not to touch her or be near her. It scared them all. But they were able to get through it and Sunstreaker would to. But how? 'Go apologize.' That's what each told him in their own words of course.
He nodded to himself. Yeah. I'll go tell her I'm sorry. I just hope she'll forgive me. Sighing in hope, he pushed himself from the floor and made his way out of his chambers.
I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
Coulda sworn I was dreamin
For her I was Feignin
So I hadda take a little ride
Back tracking ova these few years
Tryin to figure out what I do to make it go bad
Cuz ever since my girl left me
My whole life came crashin and I'm so...
He drove down the street respecting the speed limit. Sunstreaker was in no rush to make it there. It gave him time to think of the right words to explain to her how sorry he was. How he wished he would have believed her in the first place. There was so much to get out.
Lonely (so lonely)I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own_ girl)
I'm so Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
He pulled up in front of the apartment building and set up a comlink to Leiana's comwatch.
Leiana was still sleeping when her watch beeped. Wiping away tear trails from her face, she grabbed the yellow comwatch sitting on her nightstand. Is it him?
"Leiana here." She sniffled a little, but held her voice steady.
"Lala." She heard his voice and it sounded like the best thing in the world to her at that moment.
"Sunstreaker?"Her eyes widened in surprise, redness fading away.
"Yeah. It's me. I'm outside. Come on. We need to go somewhere private and talk."
She nodded to herself. "Yeah. I'll be right down!" Quickly, she hopped out of bed and changed into a tank and her denim shorts and slipped on a pair of sandals quickly before locking the apartment.
Cant believe I hadda girl like you
And I just let you walk right outta my life
After all I put you through
You still stuck around and stayed by my side
What really hurt me is I broke your heart
Baby you a good girl and I had no right
I really wanna make things right
Cuz
Without you in my life girl I'm so...
It was a silent ride until Sunstreaker pulled into the same wooded area he and she had their argument in days beforehand. Slowly, he opened the driver side door and she got out, stretching herself until she heard him transforming.
Leiana glanced up at her mech seeing his gaze facing away from her with optics dimmed as though in thought.
"Sunny?" She reached out a hand, touching his leg. She felt the coolness and reveled in it.
"I...I don't know what to say." He began.
She shook her head. "You don't know what to say?" Is he for real? "You can't be serious. How could you not know what to say after the way you treated me?"
Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own_ girl)
Sunstreaker stared up into the sky seeing the stars shimmering ever so brightly.
"I love you." He said.
"And I love you, too, Sunstreaker. But you owe me the biggest damn apology." Her hands rested on her hips waiting for an answer.
He nodded. "I know. I just don't know exactly what words to say to you that would mean being able to push aside and forget every little thing I ever said wrong to you that day." His head shook and looked down at her. "I really don't."
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own_ bay_bay)
She loved him. Her heart fluttered at his sweet words. He truly does love me. I know he does. Leiana knew she didn't have to hear the words come out of his mouth to know he was sorry. She could feel it in their bond. The sadness she felt coming from him overwhelmed her which was why she felt down following their argument.
"Just say what you know I want to hear."
Been all about the world ain't neva met a girl that
Can take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come where you would get up and run
And I would be out chasing you
Cuz aint nowhere in the globe I'd rather be
Ain't no one in the globe I'd rather see
Then the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy but now so lonely...
The Lamborghini nodded and kneeled down on one knee, scooping his mate into his hand and resting her against his spark. Her brown eyes shimmered as they pleaded with him to say those little words she wanted to hear. And it was sweetness to her ears when she heard him whisper those two little words near her ear.
"I'm sorry."
Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own)
Tears made their way into her eyes for a second time that night. It was the truth. The whole truth. He was sorry and he admitted it with words and feelings behind it. It was all she needed to wrap her arms best she could around his neck and nuzzle her cheek against his chest plate. His spark warmed her up from the slight chill running through the air while a smile appeared on her face.
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own_ girl...)
Their bond was strong. The love they had for one another only strengthened that bond. It was all Leiana needed in her life. What she wanted and dreamed for. Never had she thought she would fall in love with a giant robot from a distant planet, but she did. There were many things in her life she wanted to happen. But right at the time, none of it mattered. All that mattered was the mech holding her 15 feet from the ground, close to his spark where it pulsated deep inside at being reunited with its bonded.
Never thought that I'd be alone
I didn't hope you'd be gone this long
I just want you to call my phone
So stop playing girl
And come on home
(Come on home)
Baby girl I didn't mean to shout
I want me and you to work it out
I never wished I'd ever hurt my baby
And it's drivin me crazy cuz...
Moments passed before the two separated and gazed into each other's eyes and optics.
"So, what do you wanna do now?" Sunstreaker asked, a sly smirk across his face.
She laughed and grinned. "You look like shit."
The yellow mech looked down at himself. "Yeah I guess I do, don't I?"
"Yeah you do. I'm not gonna let you drive around like that anymore."
He wiggled his optics. "Are you going to give me a sweet rub down?"
She scoffed. "Pervertido!" She called out, arms folded across her massive chest. "Still the same Sunstreaker."
He chuckled. "And you're still the same little firecracker I fell in love with." He gently nudged her side with his finger and she giggled. "Oh. Ticklish, huh?" He did it again, this time she smacked at his finger.
"Do it again, and I'll ask Ratchet to cut them off." She smirked. "After all, he does love it when he can get back at you and Sides."
He shook his head and sighed. "Don't ever change."
Leiana blew him a raspberry. "Like I ever will, dumbass." But her eyes softened at him. "Don't you ever change either, Sunny. I love you just the way you are."
He nodded. "Say, let's go back to your apartment and we can recharge together. Then tomorrow you can give me a nice aft paint job and polish."
"How about some hot wax?" She wiggled her own eyebrows.
"How do you always know what turns me on?"
She rolled her eyes as he let her down and transformed back into his car mode. Getting in, she patted the steering wheel gently.
"Hang on, sweetheart!" Sunstreaker shifted his gears and did a few donuts before heading out of the wooded area.
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own)
She loved him. He loved her. That was all that mattered. And now, as they drove away on that sparkling night, their bond grew just a little more. And Sunstreaker learned to trust in his bonded no matter the case may be.
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm So Lonely...
So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
Mr. Lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely...
Mr. Lonely
END.
A/n: Well, I hope you liked this everyone. It took me a little time to get it right.
