Born Stubborn
By SMYGO4EVA
Jack had always wondered what went on in Miko's head.
Reckless as she was, always wanting to be in on the action while the Autobots fought the Decepticons - that was what made her memorable, definitely standing out from the other girls at their school. He was raised to be responsible, to always do what he was told and to do the right thing. He would be against taking any risks whatsoever, while she would act on sheer impulse.
It may be headache-inducing for him, Raf, and especially the Autobots to have to go after her and make her she doesn't get hurt, but sometimes Jack wished he had that kind of spontaneity that Miko always had. To not always think about the consequences of his actions would be something worthwhile. Yet, as always, he thought before he acted. Still, the adrenaline rush would really be worth feeling, even in the face of danger.
Miko was always so forward, while Jack refused to be a part of any conflict that would result from any rambunctiousness, especially hers. He did say things when they needed saying, being a step close to being as outspoken as she was, so in a way he was forward. He just wasn't used to the spontaneity that she brought with her, and that was almost all the time.
In a way, Miko did bring out something in Jack that secretly liked being impulsive and adventure-seeking, to figure things out for themselves, especially with helping out the Autobots and their respective guardians. He looked out for her, while she was looking out for him, to be anchored with the Autobots and have a higher purpose in life. He helped her stay out of harm's way (with Raf's help, of course), and she helped him break out of his shell.
They did have a lot in common, and while there are differences, they knew that no one was born stubborn, but they can grow from that notion and continue to be there for the Autobots and each other; both Jack and Miko have never known things to be any other way.
