The Tyrannosaurus Rex hissed when Claire snuck a hand under Owen's shirt. He almost roared when the male pressed himself closer.
"Megatron," Owen sighed, "You're ruining the mood."
Megatron snorted in annoyance because he must not have been stealthy. He didn't mind too much, though.
"Good."
The sound of rotating limbs and shifting gears made both humans look up at Megatron. The Predacon snarled in distaste because the male was touching Claire. His red eyes flickered between both humans and he enjoyed the way Owen's face contorted in anger and embarrassment. Claire was doing her best not to laugh so he assumed she didn't mind the interruption.
Megatron stretched forward, his dark hand shoving Owen aside roughly before picking up Claire. He growled one more time before hefting up the giggling female to his left shoulder. Just as Megatron turned away the raptor trainer's voice rose up behind him.
"Are you seriously going to leave me like this?"
The transformer sneered, "Yes."
Megatron's right arm snapped forward, sharp teeth barely missing Owen's leg by an inch. The Predacon grunted when Claire climbed her way across the back of his neck to reach his right shoulder. She smacked the arm until the T-Rex head turned to face her. Its dark tongue flopped out in happiness until the female's sharp tone caused it to flinch.
"No! Bad, Rex!"
The T-Rex head had the decency to look ashamed until its eyes landed on Owen. It emitted a low growl but stopped when Claire's heel bounced of its snout. Claire frowned down at the T-Rex head.
"No."
Megatron grinned and left, ignoring Owen's complaints.
"That wasn't nice."
Megatron snarled but ignored her.
"Do you really have to be like this?"
He stopped walking and huffed, "His pack of miscreants was in the area and I don't trust them not to injure you."
Claire frowned, "But-"
"One day he will choose and I can guarantee he will choose them."
Claire blinked, speechless.
"And I don't like Owen."
Claire face palmed, "Oh my God, you're worse than my father."
::O:O:O::
Claire remembered Megatron's words as she climbed the tree as quickly as possible. She lifted the silver whistle to her mouth and blew. She really hoped Megatron was still in the area to chase away the raptors and help her down. She sighed as she dropped the whistle in her pocket and turned to level a glare at Owen.
"I thought we were going to have us time today."
Claire struggled to keep her balance on the wobbling branch. Owen held on tightly to the trunk glaring at the three raptors tearing through their picnic.
"Oh, so when Megatron goes all crazy it's 'cute' but when my girls do it they're a nuisance?"
Claire exhaled, "Charlie would've bitten off my arm if I hadn't climbed this tree!"
"Megatron tries to bite my legs every day!"
"He's not serious about it!" She did her best to cross her arms angrily, "Maybe if you weren't rude he'd be nicer. Maybe if you kept the raptors away from us he'd be more pleasant."
Owen's eyes narrowed when she continued.
"You think I chose him over you but who else does he have here? You have the pack, but him? Me? Who do we have here? We're the outsiders and after everything that's happened I can't just leave him here, alone, either."
When Claire turned her back Owen knew he was going to be getting the silent treatment until he apologized. He bristled because Megatron would probably wear a smug look for a week because he messed up. He grimaced, unsure if he was angry at Claire for not mentioning this sooner or himself for not noticing it.
Owen glared down at the items strewn everywhere and the torn blanket. A large part of him mourned the loss of the food. It had taken weeks of planning and scheduling to get food from Claire's favorite restaurant dropped off on the island. Nothing about his romantic gesture had been cheap.
"It's not my fault," he grumbled trying to get the last word.
::O:O:O::
Megatron shifted uncomfortably. He'd thought taking Claire to her favorite cove on the island would cheer her up but instead it made things worse. He curled himself around her when she continued to cry. He really hoped her face would stop leaking so they could return to her treehouse. The wet sand clumped up between his seams was starting to irritate him.
"He-he just doesn't un-under-understand."
The T-Rex head began to whine in distress when the human's speech glitched. Megatron grimaced when she hiccupped and blew fluid out of her nasal passage.
"I-I'm su-uch an i-i-idiot."
Megatron growled low, eyes burning bright in anger. To think this was the femme that showed no fear when he'd been taken over by his animal instinct. He held her closer, allowing his arm to nose its way onto her lap to purr. Megatron ex-vented, unsure of what he would've done in this situation if he still had his memories. Would he have offered kind words? Would he have torn the human male to pieces? Would he have cared about Claire at all?
He shivered and tucked himself close to block the female from the cold wind.
::O:O:O::
"You are not wanted here, pest."
Dinobot growled at Megatron and continued towards Claire's treehouse. A snap of powerful teeth caused him to leap away and transform mid roll. He held his sword up ready to stab in case Megatron stepped within range. He muted his audials when the Tyrannosaurus Rex roared angrily. Megatron leapt forward, transforming as he reached for the smaller Predacon.
The raptor stumbled backwards not expecting such speed from the larger Predacon. He hissed and growled, struggling to escape the mouth of sharp teeth. His eyes shot a blast that did little more than cause a snarl from Megatron.
"Megs, are you okay?"
Dinobot and Megatron ceased their fighting to look up at Claire.
"Dinobot? What are you doing here?"
She held up a hand to stall Megatron's rage and looked at the raptor expectantly.
"I came to make sure you were well. The Alpha has been troubled with your absence."
"If he was worried he could've just come here himself," Claire arched an eyebrow, "Instead he sent you to provoke Megatron and woke me up in the middle of the night."
"Uh-"
"You know what, I don't have time for this. Megatron, please put him down."
Dinobot frowned, "Wha-?"
The raptor grunted when he was dropped. The former Predacon warlord changed back to his beast mode growling in distaste but didn't move to attack him.
"I don't need you or Owen checking up on me. Besides, I have Megatron to keep me safe."
Megatron's eye's narrowed and his mouth stretched open to reveal his deadly teeth. Claire yawned, patting the purple snout that neared her balcony.
"Goodnight, Dinobot," she muttered. She turned and smiled sleepily at Megatron, "Go back to bed, big guy."
::O:O:O::
Megatron's lip plates curled in disgust when he pressed Owen under his claws. He almost grinned in satisfaction when the human yelped in pain.
"Are you seriously going to kill me?"
The ex-warlord grinned, "That was the plan, yesss."
It would've felt good to squish the human but instead the transformer stepped back. The last thing he wanted to do was explain why he had organic remains splattered across his armor. It would probably be better if he shot him from a distance to keep himself clean.
"Look, I just came to apologize to Claire, alright?"
"That isn't good enough," Megatron scowled.
Owen gaped, "What?"
"You believe you have a right to see her after breaking her spark?"
The raptor trainer's face scrunched up, "Spark?"
"You broke the femme! She's been leaking from her optics since the day I saved her from your 'date'."
A part of Megatron smirked in satisfaction when Owen gave him a dejected look.
"I didn't mean to make her cry!"
The sound of weapons onlining made the human jump. The Predacon sneered, "And yet here we are."
"I'm an idiot, I know! But I'm an idiot that loves her! I've loved her since the moment I met her and she needs to know I'm sorry!"
"Owen?"
Megatron watched as Claire stepped out into the clearing, eyes locked on the male human.
"You love me?"
He didn't stop the trainer from running to Claire and scooping her up in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I've been a jerk and I'm not good with relationships-!"
"No, no, I'm sorry! I should've said something but I was scared you'd-!"
Megatron grimaced when the humans pressed their mouth plates together. So much for gunning down the raptor trainer.
