Hotshot looked on at the delicate femme sitting on a rock. The rising moon formed a halo around her face and bathed her hair in a silky white light. No words were said between them, but the yellow Autobot knew that something was troubling his ladylove.
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know....
Firestorm sat watching the stars above. Only a few days ago, Hotshot had taken her aside and told her he loved her. She knew he was over there, patiently waiting for an answer. But she had none for him. Deep inside her spark, her love belonged to another....
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky he's cursed
When it come to loving me he's the worst
No one knew, but she had been closer to him than anyone else in her life. She had bonded with him as deeply as one could. She had sworn she would love him and stay beside him, no matter what should come.
But now...he was gone.
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know....
Much as she didn't want to admit, she did care about Hotshot. There was no denying that. But he had decided to test their relationship and make it more than just the casual talk or the private smiles they had shared.
He wanted her as his mate.
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky he's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
Hotshot didn't quite understand Firestorm's reaction when he asked her to become his mate. She looked at him as if he'd asked her to rip her spark out or something. She had run out here. He stood near and watched, but didn't interfere. She probably was just surprised and needed time to take it all in.
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
Firestorm took her optics offline a moment and thought long and hard about what Hotshot had asked of her. She knew she couldn't. Her spark had already made the decision for her. She brought her optics back online, clear and bright, and went over to speak to Hotshot.
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky he's cursed
When it come to loving me he's the worst...
"Hotshot...there's something you need to know about me. I know you think I've...well...I'm pure. The truth of the matter is I'm not. I've been touched by another....He was my first real, true love. And the first love is always the one you can never forget. He's been seared into my memory forever...and I don't think it would be fair for you to have someone who's been stained like me. You deserve someone better. I hope you find her soon."
"What? When? Where? Who?!"
Firestorm looked up.
"Starscream. On Cybertron before the battle with Unicron," she replied simply, and walked off into the night, the darkness covering her amber, black, purple and gold frame with a shoud of ebony. She never looked back.
