Title: Spiraling out of Control
Theme Set: Request (not a 1sentence set; these prompts were sent to me by Dragowolf in hopes of recharging my plot-bunnies… good news: it worked!)
Disclaimer: Still own neither… though I assume I'm still allowed to write about this pairing…
Warning: Um… blatant abuse of semicolons and dashes?... and a few Cybertronian swear words…
A/N: I'm back! My thanks to those who read the last batch and my eternal gratitude to those who reviewed! I hope this meets the bar I set before. (memo: those with "-" after the prompt have footnotes at the bottom) That being said, please enjoy.
---------------------------------------------START----------------------------------------------
1. Jealous
It was during those times when he couldn't push aside the darkness in his Spark and his cynicism from his processor that Sandstorm envied Flight's effortless ability to spot beauty anywhere and everywhere.
2. Sleep
He truly didn't mean to, especially in another team's common room, but he was exhausted and Fireflight was so warm and comfy that Sandstorm found himself slipping into recharge before he knew it.
3. Love –
Love was patient, love was kind – love was holding a ladder steady for joors on end while one's partner did a Michelangelo in his team's common room.
4. Spoken
Though his processor screamed warnings, Flight made his confession; the Wrecker meant too much to him for the words to remain unsaid.
5. Unspoken
While he refused to think about, let alone declare, his feelings, not even a blind 'bot could miss Sandstorm's devotion to the red jet.
6. Protecting
Yet another fight broke out, between Blades and Whirl, this time involving a variety of projectiles; Flight as usual, didn't have a clue to what was going on until Sandstorm lunged forward, reaching past the Aerial for the cube that was headed right for the back of the red jet's head.
7. Cuddling
Flight had been the type of 'bot who'd be out of the berth the astrosecond he onlined but nowadays, the red jet preferred snuggling with his lover in the morning.
8. Hug
Had it been anyone other than Flight, Sandstorm would have decked the 'bot on instinct alone for grabbing him from behind; since it was him, his automatic response was to twist around to return the gesture.
9. Kiss
Enjoying labial pressure was more of a human thing but Fireflight couldn't help but be thrilled by the feel of something few others even got to see.
10. Smile
Since the Wrecker kept his face covered more often then not, Flight didn't really have much of a basis, but he was positive that Sandstorm's Spark-shattering smile was just for him.
11. Eyes
Though the Aerial had trouble wording his thoughts, his feelings projected themselves easily via his body language; in particular, Sandstorm had become quite the expert at reading Flight's optics.
12. Happiness
His mask and visor made sure that his contentment could not be seen by anybot other than his teammates; good news was that they did not hold it against him – bad news: heckling a brother-in-arms was not considered, even by the boss mech, to be holding it against him.
13. Light
Being a flier, Fireflight was very uncomfortable underground and doubly so when it was pitch dark to boot, but with Sandstorm leading him out of the maze of tunnels by the hand, things didn't seem too bad.
14. Hope
Watching their teammate interact with
the Wrecker, the other Aerials allowed themselves to think that
perhaps, the triplechanger was truly the one for Flight.
15. Together
Like any good leader, Springer looked after his bots' wellbeing and could honestly say that, bursts of romantic fervor aside, he approved of Sandy being with Flight – deviant behavior was down (at least on base) and the other triplechanger had stopped pranking his relationship with Hot Rod and Arcee.
16. Hurt
"The only bad part about falling is the sudden stop," – clutching the Wrecker's parting message, Fireflight agreed with all his aching Spark.
17. Waiting
Though he had been slagged to Pit more times than he cared to remember, none compared to the pain/panic he felt waiting outside the room where Fireflight's operation was going on.
18. Look
The determined set to Flight's faceplate to see this thing with Sandstorm through was what stilled his wingmates' protests; they could do no less than respect his wishes.
19. Promise
The only promise they could make during a war, was to make no promises.
20. Family
Though the Aerialbots intimidated him somewhat, Sandstorm was glad they were around to watch over Flight – coincidentally, the red jet felt the same way about the Wreckers.
