Second chapter!:D hope you like it. review please!


Sidewswipe was walking to his and Blustreak's shared quarters. Unknown to him, he has to pass Icetrail's quarters. As soon as he passed the door it opened.

Sideswipe yelped when someone suddenly grabbed his waste and pulled him into the open door. The door closed and he was pushed up against the wall. Large, cold, metal hands gripped his arms tightly leaving small dents.

"Icetrail, get off me!"

"I can't do that Siders. I lost you once, I can't lose you again."

"I don't love you anymore! I love Blue!"

Icetrail punched Sideswipe in the face for saying that.

"See that's what I want to talk to you about. You're gonna call that Blue guy and tell him that you don't love him anymore, that you love me. If you don't I'll kill him. Then you're gonna call that nosy good for nothing brother of yours and tell him to stay the frag out and if he does anything to separate us, I'll kill you."

"N-no! You can't!"

Again Icetrail hit him in the face. "Then I suggest you do as I say." He said tightening the grip he has on Sideswipe causing him to wince.

Sideswipe nodded and reached up to activate his com. link.

::Hey Blue::

::Sides! Where are you? I was getting worr-::

::That's why I'm calling. Blue, I don't love you anymore. I can't be with you anymore either. When I saw Icetrail I realized I was still in love with him. I'm sorry and just forget about me please?::

After he said that he cut the link.

"Good. Now call your brother."


Sunstreaker was out on patrol with Hound and Brawn when he got a message from his brother.

::Sunny.::

::What do you want Sides, I'm busy.::

::If you haven't heard, Icetrail's back.:

Sunstreaker slammed on his brakes causing Brawn to swerve off road.

"What's wrong with ya Sunstreaker?" He called out but Sunstreaker just ignored him.

::What?::

::Yeah. He told me to tell you that if you try to separate us, he's gonna kill me. Sunny, please help me.::

Sunstreaker heard a yelp before the frequency cut off.

::Sideswipe!::

Sunstreaker turned around and headed back to base as fast as he could, leaving a bewildered Hound and Brawn behind.


::Sunny, please help me.::

Sideswipe let out a yelp as Icetrail hit him. Hard.

"I did NOT tell you to say that! What's wrong with you, you slagging glitch?"

"I'm sorry!"

Icetrail hit him again and then pulled Sideswipe into a hug. "You better be."

Sideswipe unwillingly hugged back and began to cry.

"It's going to go back to the way things used to be soon."


At the speed Sunstreaker was going it wasn't a surprise at how fast he got back to the ARK. When he ran through the main entrance he pushed down several mechs. He turned the corner that lead to the private quarters when he ran into Prowl.

"Shouldn't you be on patrol?"

"Hound let me leave early." Sunstreaker lied dryly. Prowl just gave him a suspicious look but decided it was nothing and started to leave. "Wait; do you know where Icetrail's quarters is?"

"Why?"

"He's an...old friend. I want to pay him a visit. You know catch up on things."

"Sure," He said giving him another suspicious look, "It's the third one down on the left."

Sunstreaker bolted down the hallway without even sparing him a thank you. When he got to the appointed door he tried to open it but it wouldn't open so he started pounding on it and shouting.


Icetrail still had Sideswipe in an embrace when they heard pounding on the door.

"Icetrail open up the slagging door! I know you're in there you pit-spawn!" was heard following the pounding.

Icetrail growled. He knew this would happen. He let go of Sideswipe and dragged him behind him as he led him to the door. Before he opened it he made sure that Sunstreaker couldn't see his brother.

"What do you want Sunstreaker?"

"Give me my brother now!"

"I don't have your brother. So why don't you jus-" Before Icetrail could finish his sentence Sunstreaker punched him in the face.

"Sunny stop!" Sideswipe yelled getting out from behind Icetrail and going in between them so they wouldn't hurt each other. Not that he minded his twin hurting the other mech but he doesn't know what Icetrail would do to him.

Sunstreaker grabbed his brother by the arm and was going to walk away with him but before he could Icetrail grabbed the other arm and pulled with a stronger force causing Sideswipe to yelp from surprise and fall into the chest of Icetrail.

"He's not going anywhere but back into this quarters." The tall mech said dryly.

"He's coming with me." The yellow mech said and pulled on his brother's arm. It turned into a tug-o-war between the two until Sideswipe shouted at them to stop.

"Icetrail let me talk to him. I'll come back, I promise." He said.

"Fine, you got 10 minutes. You not back by then, I'm comin after ya." Icetrail retreated back to his quarters to give the brothers some time to talk. When he was gone Sideswipe began talking.

"Look Sunny, I want to go with you but I can't."

"And why can't you? That mech does nothing but abuse you!"

"I can't because he is threatening Blues life, your life, and my life. I don't want to die and I don't want you two to die either. I'm doing it to protect you Sunny."

"Sides, that's stupid! We could go to Prime or Prowl. Tell them and he would get kicked out of here!"

"It's not that simple Sunstreaker! It's my opinion, someone who lies constantly and disobeys orders almost always, against a new recruit. Who in their optics, did nothing wrong!"

"Sideswipe, don't do this. Last time you nearly got yourself killed. Please."

"I'm sorry Sunny but I have to, for you and Blue. And please tell Blue about it. He has the right to know."

"Fine. But you better not make me regret this." Sunstreaker pulled Sideswipe into a hug. Knowing Icetrail, this is the last time he would be able to talk to his brother, let alone see him, without having the glitch guard him like he was a prize. "Love ya bro, don't do anything stupid."

"Love ya too."

Sideswipe pulled out of his brothers embrace, gave him one last look before going back into the room of his worst nightmare.


Sunstreaker was too angry to talk to Bluestreak or anyone else so he went straight to his room. Once the door shut and locked, he started having an outrage. He threw everything he could get his hands on across the room, and he punched the walls until his knuckles started bleeding. He screamed and cursed not caring who heard.

All he cared about was Sideswipe. His brother, his twin, his other half, in the hands of the mech that haunted his dreams for years upon years and he couldn't do a thing about it.

He picked up something that was on a shelf. He stopped mid-throw when he saw what it was. It was a picture of him and Sideswipe before the war, before Icetrail even showed up. They were at one of the clubs they would always go to. Each had an arm around the others shoulder. He had his signature smirk on his face while Sideswipe had a cheeky grin.

Sunstreaker remembered that night. It was the night before Sideswipe meet Icetrail, the last night he has been truly happy in years.

Sunstreaker lend against the wall and sank down. His knees against his chest and the picture still in his hands. He put his head down on the picture and started to cry.


Bluestreak sat on his berth, no longer sharing it with Sideswipe, leaning against the wall. He had his head in his hands. He was crying into his hands. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see Sideswipe with that cheeky grin of his. Every time he looked around the room and stopped on the red mechs stuff, he'd cry even harder.

Bluestreak couldn't believe it. The one mech he was willing to share everything with, didn't love him anymore. How does he know Sideswipe even loved him to begin with? How could Sideswipe do this to him? He would have expected it from Sunstreaker but not Sideswipe.

No. Sideswipe would never do this willingly. There had to be something wrong. But what? What could possibly be wrong that caused him to say that? He didn't know and was not sure he wanted to know. He had to find out though. He'd have to ask Sunstreaker the next day.

He couldn't get up. He couldn't face the world just yet. He was still too devastated. Bluestreak laid down on the berth and pulled his knees to his chest. He offlined his optics and cried himself into recharge.


Icetrail pulled Sideswipe onto his berth. He pulled him close and wrapped his arms around his waist. He kissed the slightly smaller mech on the helm before slipping into recharge. Sideswipe couldn't recharge. His mind was racing. A lot has happened in the day.

He kept seeing that look on Sunnys' face when he told him he was staying with Icetrail. He kept hearing that sadness in Blues' voice when he told him he didn't love him anymore. He couldn't take it. He broke down right there. He hurt the ones he loved and he couldn't do anything about it.

Sideswipe closed his optics and his crying slowed down to a soft whimper, then nothing as he finally fell into recharge.
