Disclaimer: Transformers ain't mine, I just own the plot to this story.
'words' - This is thoughts.
I'm awoken by a loud screeching emanating from my living room. Groaning I go see what my bother-in-law is fussing over. What I find is Starscream completely unarmored and standing in front of Skyfire.
"Uh…what are you two doing?" I squeak out, highly uncomfortable with the situation.
"It's not what you think Prowl." Starscream tells me. I look at Skyfire and he's nodding in agreement. But I notice the way Skyfire's optics are glazed and how his fans are blaring. How can they show so many signs of arousal and then lie about the affair?
"Starscream you know how I feel about bot's who cheat on their lovers. Please leave my home if…" Starscream grabs my chevron and brings me down to his optic level.
"We are not having an affair. We've tried being lovers, remember? We decided a long time ago we weren't meant for each other. Plus I have Megatron now, I love him and would never do something like that." He huffs and crosses his arm across his cockpit.
"And I would never betray Wheeljack's trust in me. I still love Starscream very much, but it's nothing compared to my love for Wheeljack." He looks softly at Starscream and caresses one of his wings. "We're friends, nothing more." They look at me, I sigh and run a servo over my faceplate in exasperation.
"Honestly you two, if the press knew this was how you look when together they'd make a scandal out of you." I give them a small smile. Starscream scoffs and sits down on the couch beside Skyfire and takes the big mechs servo in his.
"It wouldn't really matter now." He states softly. A far away look enters his optics. He laughs brokenly and lays his head on Skyfire's shoulder, tears begin streaming down his face. The large shuttle wraps his arm around Starscream in an attempt to comfort him. "It's not even been a week and rumors are already flying around that Megatron has been with his little femme. No doubt they're all true." He sobs and hides his face in Skyfire's side. "I wouldn't care what they did to me, because nothings worse than this."
"You knew he was like this, what made you think getting bonded would change him?" Skyfire asks. Starscream looks up at him brokenly and flashes me an envious look.
"I thought he'd change, just like Jazz did. But I guess I was wrong. Maybe I should've rethought my decision when Jazz…" He shakes his head and laughs. "Never mind." He looks up at me with soft, sad optics and asks, "Don't you have to go to work?" I start at this question and check my chrono, sure enough it was time for me to head to work, actually it was several minutes passed.
"Frag! I'm going to be late! Why didn't you say anything earlier?" I shouts as I rush out my door and down the hall. "Frag, frag, frag, frag, frag!" I rush outside the apartment complex and transform as soon as I hit the road, speeding my way to the station.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Starscream's point of View~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I watch as Prowl dashes out of the room in a frenzy. Skyfire is snickering at him and I slap his thigh for it. He, in turn, picks me up and throws me to the floor. I glare up at him and he smiles back, laughter gleaming in his optics. I crawl to him and place my helm in his lap, I really need the comfort right now.
"I really should be going Starscream, Wheeljack has a scan today and I promised him that I'd be there." Skyfire tells me while pushing me off him. I clench my servos in to fists and glare at him.
"To the pit with Wheeljack!" I shout angrily, finally snapping from the pain my bondmate has put me through. "I thought I was more important than him! I thought you loved me! FRAGGER!" I slap him then run out of the apartment, tears streaking down my faceplate. I keep running until my legs can't take anymore and I collapse. I look at my surroundings and find that I am right outside the building where Megatron works. A femme that was walking by notices me and asks,
"Sir are you alright…oh…you're Lord Megatron's bondmate aren't you." She looks at me pitifully. Almost like I'm some sparkling that has lost it's parent's. Her look sickens me and I get up purposefully ignoring her. I start to walk off when she appears in front of me, her tiny white servos pressed to my cockpit.
"What?" I snap. Wrenching her hands off me. She places them at her sides and looks pu at me sadly.
"You should no that Lord Megatron is in his office write now…with his lover." She looks down at the ground shamefully. Like she'd been carrying around so terrible secret and has just now announced it to the whole of Cybertron. I scoff and push her out of my way.
"I don't care. In fact would you mind telling Megatron that I am taking Estrella and the twins and never coming back, Please?" I glance at her and she nods.
"Certainly sir, but what about your bond? I mean it can't be broken, not with out killing you both anyways." I chuckle and turn to fully look at her. I point to my spark and say,
"Bonds can always be blocked, and if they stay that way for long enough they will eventually fade away. Of course it's not like you would know that, after all you're only a child. But that's trivial to the matter at hand. Megatron obviously doesn't care for me as much as he said, so there is no point in me continuing to be bonded to him. So I am going to block our bond, take the sparklings, and move to Vos. That way he won't be able to come sway me into taking him back." The femme looks at me in horror. She takes a step back, hesitates, the runs into the building screaming for help. I smirk in the direction she ran before transforming and flying off. I feel that I need to speak to somebot about something that has been weighing heavily on my processors for some time and I know just who to go to.
It takes me a few hours but I finally reach the quaint little neighbor hood where Prime chose to raise his family. I smile slightly at all the sparklings running around, playing and laughing. I let out a soft sob as I pass two parents playing with their sparklings. I had wanted a life like that so bad, to have a bondmate that truly loved me and wanted to spend every moment with me, even play with our sparklings together. I sigh and continue on. When I finally reach Prime's home I step onto the yard cautiously. I really don't want to be tackled by their overactive sparkling. He may be cute but he has an unhealthy fascination with my wings that just freaks me out. Finding no sparkling I quickly walk to the door and knock on it. There is some shouting followed by rustling and an upset Bumble Bee answering the door.
"Oh Starscream, why are you here?" He asks me. I smile down at him and reply,
"I just need to speak with Prime is all. But if this is a bad time I can always come back." He shakes his head and yells for his son.
"No, it's fine. I was just about to take Firecracker to the park. So you came at a perfect time." He tells me before taking his hyperactive sparkling by the servo and dragging him out of the house, yelling at Prime that he'll be back later and to not wait up for him. I watch them leave before walking inside. I close the door behind me and look around for Prime. The walls of their home are covered in family photos. I stop to look at a particular one of Prime, Bumble Bee, myself, Megatron, Prowl, and Jazz. I chuckle remembering the day it was taken. In the picture Bumble Bee and I are sitting on top of a bound Jazz while Prime and Megatron hold Prowl back from tearing us apart. I run my servo over Megatron's image as a single thought runs through my processor. 'He loved me then.' I place my servo back at my side and continue on in my search for Prime. When I finally find him he is sitting in their berthroom drinking a cube of high grade and glaring at the wall.
"I thought you weren't coming back." He says angrily. I cant my head to the left in confusion and walk up to him. I place a servo on his shoulder causing him to look at me. He gasps and a servo flies to the bottom half of his face, covering it. I chuckle and remove the servo.
"Don't hide it. You're quite handsome Prime. Now why are you sulking in here?" I asks as I sit down beside him. He just continues to glare at the wall, thought his glare isn't as filled with anger as it was a moment ago. He sighs and takes a drink of his high grade.
"Bumble Bee and I just had a fight is all, nothing to concern yourself with." He turns to me. "Why are you here?" I smile and look at the floor nervously. This particular question had been nagging at me since before Jazz had died. I begin to chew on my bottom lip and look up at Prime.
"Do you think we should tell him?" He jerks back in surprise, obviously not expecting that. His cube of high grade is abandoned on the floor as he grabs me by the shoulders.
"Are you serious? Now you want to do this? NOW? I've been trying to get you to tell him for ages and now you decide to break the news?" He shouts, I tremble and look away from him.
"Yes."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Prowl's point of View*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The moment I walk through the doors to the building I am greeted by my lieutenant. He hands me some data pads, I sign a few things, and we make idle conversation all the way to my office. Once inside I rush to my chair and collapse into it.
"Rough night?" He asks in that rough baritone of his. A shiver travels down my spine and I chuckle.
"Not really, but this morning could've gone better." He smiles at me and plops down in the chair placed directly in front of me. He leans back in the chair, crossing his legs, placing a servo on his left hip and leans his helm on a clenched servo. His blue armor glistens in the light and is only enhanced by the dark, contrasting black of his chest, servos, and bootplates. He lets out a deep chuckle and another shiver runs down my spine. My spark may belong to Jazz but I'm still a mech and I am not blind to the rather attractive mech sitting across from me.
"What was so bad about it? Did you have a one night stand and wake up this morning to find half your apartment missing? Cuz if so I know just how ya feel. Same thing happened to me last week." I raise and optical ridge and shoot him a confused look.
"No Starscream is staying at my apartment and we had a little discussion this morning. Also, aren't you bonded?" He looks back at me equally confused.
"Why is Starscream staying at your apartment? No I'm not bonded, I just told you that so you wouldn't get on my case about me having that prostitute at my house that night you came over." I look at him disbelievingly and he smiles back. I groan and lean back in my chair. Oh how this mech reminds me over Jazz. Speaking of Jazz.
"Do you have any knowledge of a young mech named Brio?"
"Hmm…I don't believe so…why?"
"It's just that my son is dating this young mech named Brio but…" I trail off, getting lost in my thoughts. He leans forward in the chair and asks.
"But what?"
"It's just that he has and uncanny likeness to Jazz. I mean everything about him is the same. It's almost as if he's Jazz's clone of something." At those words he bursts into laughter. I scowl and shout. "This isn't funny! I'm telling you the truth!"
"Oh that's rich! Aha-ha-ha! A clone of Jazz! That's good sir, I didn't think you had a sense of humor!" I sit patiently in my chair for him to quiet down. When he's finally done laughing I look at him, my faceplate totally emotionless and order.
"I'm not joking, this mech interests me and I want you to go look up everything about him that you can. That's an order." A look of surprise crosses his face before he stands up, salutes, and rushes out of my office. I lean back in my chair and rub my optics. "How could this day get any worse?" As soon as those words leave my mouth my door opens to a very drunk, very pissed off Rhythm and an equally scared Brio. 'Frag'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Starscream's point of View*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Prime sighs and releases me. "It would be the best thing to do. After all he deserves to know. But what made you decide to tell him now?" He asks. I look at him then at a picture of him and Bumble Bee. I pick the picture up and trace the edges of it's frame.
"For the same reasons you decided to finally asks Bumble Bee to bond with you, despite the fact that you know how he feels about it." He stutters and looks at me, surprised. I chuckle and place the picture back in it's place.
"How did you…?"
"Why else would he have been so upset? He's terrified of the thought of bonding and only something like being asked to bond would have made him that upset. Also because I figured your anger must be because he turned you down. He probably said something harsh and absolutely true about you in his anger that made you so upset."
"He told me that I should know how he feels about bonding and that if I didn't respect his feelings then he was going to leave and never return. Then I said that if he truly loved me then he would be willing to face his fears for me. He replied by asking me why he would ever want to bond with a workaholic who would rather spend time at the office than with his family." Prime looks at the picture I had just had and sighs sadly. I pat his shoulder. He smiles down at me.
"Don't worry Prime. I'm sure everything will work out. Bumble Bee loves you too much to leave you and you wouldn't let him even if he did." He sits p and a determined look enters his optics.
"You're right! I'm not going to sit here and sulk, I'm going to trust in Bee's love for me. And if he does leave I'll just go after him!" I smile at him and laugh.
"See, all better now. Anyways back to what I was saying, should we tell him or not?" Prime looks at me and pouts. Before rubbing his chin in thought.
"Well seeing as how he deserves to know and that fact that we owe it to him to tell him the truth I'm going to have to say yes."
"So later tonight then?"
"Yes, later tonight." I stand up and pat his helm.
"Then I'll se you later Prime, I've got to go get my sparklings and take them to TC and Warp's place." He waves good bye as I leave the room. My thought are clouded and worried. Not only about Megatron's reaction to me taking his sparklings from him but also to what it is I'm going to have to do later on. 'Just how in the pit am I going to tell Prowl that Jazz cheated on him?'
AN: Ok so I'm going to have to end it here. It's almost 3 a.m. and I'm seriously tired. I hope you all like it and I'll try to post the next chapter tomorrow. Again I'm SSSSOOOOOOO SORRY for taking so long to post this. I hope you all can forgive me. *gets on knees and begs* Please! Lol. Anyways reviews, constructive criticism and questions are all welcomed! XD Goodnight everybody!
Also…any suggestions for a name of the mech Jazz cheated on Prowl with? Cuz I'm not that creative when it comes to names. Lol.
