He
flinches, null rays charging.
"It's
me," I growl.
"How
did you get in here?" he replies softly, not turning away from the
window where he stands. Still tense.
I choose not to answer. He knows the answer already anyway - it's my ship. It doesn't matter how many times the little Seeker tries changes the pass code to his room. Instead I tighten my grip around his shoulders, peering over his wing out the window.
We're far now, very far from home. And we stand and stare at stars, stars, nothing but damn stars.
"What is
your command," he says in a monotone that would make Soundwave
proud.
"Null
rays. Off." He complies grudgingly, never turning his face from the
window. I turn my head slightly, taking in the pride plastered all
over his face. It's cold and sarcastic.
"Look
at me," I snap. He turns his head mechanically, with an unimpressed
expression.
Irritating brat.
I slam my
hand against his face, pushing him away. He catches himself, landing
lightly on the floor.
Walking
over to where he sits on the floor, he's still looking me straight
in the optics. I look down at him, momentarily feeling remorse for
hitting him. But I never apologize, so instead, I hope he sees it in
my face.
"Do you miss
it, Starscream?" I sigh.
"If
you mean Cybertron, yes," he spits, darkening.
I lower myself down to his level, leaning towards him.
"Sometimes…sometimes
I can't remember it as anything more than a strategic advantage,"
I murmur, breaking our staring contest and leaning my face against
his neck, "but you…you smell like home."
He
cackles, unexpectedly, making me freeze for a moment before relaxing
into his shoulder again. I catch a brief glance of his expression,
suddenly happy and smug.
"And
then I remember what I'm fighting for," I whisper in his audio
receptors.
I
lower my full weight onto him, wrapping my arms around his waist and
feeling my young, little second laugh
underneath me, his hands around my shoulders.
I'm home again.
