Wanderer's Home arc 3 pt 07: The White and Red


Skyfire did his best to hurry to the Ark on his return from a delivery run to Cybertron. He didn't redline his engines; that would send him to medbay instead of his quarters. He was sure that was where Starscream was, and something had his bonded's internals in a knot. Given what was on Starscream's processors before he'd left for Cybertron, Skyfire had a pretty good idea of what that something was.

Starscream had read what he had become.

~Star,~ he broadcast, trying to reach him across the distance, get his attention before he could do anything rash. ~I'll be there as soon as I can. Can you read me?~

~I'll be okay,~ the response was a moment in coming, and Skyfire had few doubts that Starscream hadn't really registered his words, only that the contact had been attempted and it was concerned. ~How could I do these things?~ a world of mind-numbing horror came with the words.

~You didn't,~ Skyfire told him firmly as he transformed and landed outside the Ark entrance. ~You weren't yourself, weren't sane. It's why I had to bring you back in, whatever it took.~

~I can see I wasn't sane,~ Starscream consented. ~Still ... to be that far gone, and still recover. How did they do it?~

~They removed the Forge's reprogramming, and set your processors and memory banks back to right after I disappeared,~ Skyfire explained as he hurriedly made his way to the quarters they shared. ~Undid the spark shock and everything else.~

~Still, that I had the potential to be that ... that monster...~ his thoughts drifted to a wordless sick feeling.

~Only with warped reprogramming that could've turned Primus sick,~ Skyfire told him firmly as he reached the door and tapped in his code to open it. He was more than slightly relieved when he took in the simple space that had been theirs for almost three decaorns. Starscream was sitting on their berth, his knees tucked to his chest and a datapad in one hand.

"You made good time," Starscream tried his best to smile, but the warmth, relief and affection that rushed across the bond at the sight of his partner did most of the welcoming. "I hope you didn't redline your engines."

"If I had, I wouldn't be here," Skyfire smiled slightly, closing the door and taking the datapad from him as he sat down on the berth. "That wasn't you, Star."

Starscream sighed deeply through his vents and curled forward to lean against his side. "It's who everyone else knows as Starscream. I'm starting to think a new vocalizer, paintjob and name aren't a bad idea. Everyone decent hates Starscream, and the rest," he shuddered, "I'd rather not draw the attention of."

"It might not be the worst idea... though you sound a lot different, just in how you talk," Skyfire offered, wrapping an arm around him, pressing against his side. "The rest of it might help them see you as somebody else, but it might make it look like you're trying to hide too."

"Given who 'Starscream' is to the universe, I'm not sure that'd be wrong," he murmured, resting his helm against Skyfire's warmth. "It's not like anything I had before has survived. I'd be starting over no matter what we do. The institutes are all gone, most of the records, all but a handful of colleagues. I don't loose much by way of scientific credibility at this point ... but I've always been Starscream, and I really like the matching paintjobs we have."

"We can get new paintjobs," Skyfire offered. ~Come on, you don't need to be so worried about all this right now,~ he added across their bond, trying to draw Starscream's mind into a different place, offering him affection and a chance to stop worrying about everything that had happened.

~Mmm, you always were good at distracting me,~ he all but purred as he reached up to draw Skyfire's head down for a searing, hungry kiss.

~I do my best,~ he smiled, pressing against him, his mind at the outer edge's of Starscream's, waiting for permission to join him. It came with a tug from the Seeker's mind even as Starscream pushed against his chest to get him to lie down in their berth.

~You always do,~ Starscream focused inward to draw Skyfire into a long, lingering embrace in their minds. ~Someone taught you a new trick,~ he couldn't help his surprise when physical bodies, human, or nearly so, formed around them.

"Ezara's taste in pleasure - if you'd rather stick to normal, that's fine, but I thought this would distract you better," Sky offered, kissing him in their mindscape, running his hands along his mate's body.

He shivered at the touch, drawing in a sharp breath at the pleasure of it. "I'll forgive her audacity, for teaching you this," he turned his focus to exploring his mate's tall, well-muscled body, so different from his real one, but noticeably similar as well.

"It's how I helped convince her you were worth saving," Skyfire offered, shivering a bit at Starscream's touch. "You want to take your time, or save that for later?"

He hummed thoughtfully, his hands sliding down Skyfire's sides, his hips, then around to cup his slightly rounded aft. "Exploring has always been the greatest pleasure," he smiled slyly and placed a kiss just below Skyfire's sternum.

"Mmm ... just save some of the pleasure for me," Skyfire told him, running his hands up his muscular back. "Have to get to know your body like this too, after all," he pointed out, massaging the back of his neck.

Starscream moaned and arched into the contact, tilting his head forward to give his mate better access. Despite the tremors that passed through him, he was relaxing as well.

"That's better, isn't it?" Skyfire smiled as he formed a soft, luxurious bed in the space. "Turn around, let me help you relax," he crooned as he guided Starscream to lay face down. He worked powerful hands along his mate's back and the tight muscles that were there, corresponding to the tension and frustration at what he'd read before.

The low, affirmative moan of pleasure was all Starscream managed to respond with as his body seemed to melt under the care but it was more than enough to send a thrill of pleasure through Skyfire. After more than a year either on the opposing battle line or watching as Starscream was literally dissected and reassembled, to hear such sounds out of him was intensely pleasurable.

"That's right," Skyfire crooned, kissing the back of his neck. "Just relax and let me make you feel good." He licked along the line of Starscream's muscular back lightly, running a hand down to squeeze his aft lightly.

"You're too good at this," he groaned as entirely different muscles tensed and relaxed. "To me," he became aware of the pleasure of the object he was laying on, the soft slide of fabric against smooth, very sensitive skin. Then Skyfire's kissing licks stole all his attention as they worked along either side of his spine where his wings would attach in life.

A low chuckle came from above him and there was a shift around him he couldn't place, then a kiss was placed just above and out from his hip to what could only be his wings.

"Oh yes!" Starscream couldn't hold back as he arched his back upwards into that deliciously familiar contact.

"You like that, don't you?" Skyfire grinned. "Do you remember much about the flyers from this world?" He asked him, running his fingers along the edges of the wings he'd given him.

"No," he closed his eyes and focused on the incredible sensation rushing around his body. "Just what I've had time to read. What kind?"

"The natural ones - was wondering if you wanted to see what it was like, flying like that. Without needing thrusters or grav-control to keep it up," he explained, focusing for a moment before he curled a long, feathered wing around for Starscream to inspect.

He reached a hand out, stroking the feathers gingerly, remembering how delicate the structures were to the thick metal fingers of his natural body. Eventually he looked up, over his shoulder at his humanized mate with broad white wings. The back of his mind told him that they were insufficient to keep such a heavy, non-aerodynamic body in the air, even at a glide, but most of him was fascinated by the prospect.

"I think I would enjoy that a great deal," Starscream rumbled and turned over so he was facing his mate to pull him down for a long, passionate kiss. He ran his hands along the strong, well-muscled frame and caught a hint of something in the back of Skyfire's awareness. With a mischievous smile he brought his hands in when he reached Skyfire's hips and cupped the small fleshy kibble below a bit of curly blond hair.

"Mmm ... the interesting parts," Skyfire groaned slightly. "Want me to show you how to use them?" He asked with a half-grin.

"Anything that makes you sound like that is worth learning," he flattened his hand a bit to caress the length of the largest bit of exquisitely soft, dry skin.

"Then let me do it to you," Skyfire murmured, kissing his way down Starscream's chest, fondling his balls lightly as his lips came closer. A soft gasp of pleasure greeted the touch and Starscream shifted his hands to mimic what Skyfire was doing until he could no longer reach.

"As sensitive as wings," Starscream unconsciously lifted his hips and pressed into the touch, wanting more of it, and grabbed for Skyfire's shoulders in an effort to ground himself.

"And that's just the start," Skyfire rumbled, licking his half-hard shaft, mimicking what he remembered Ezara doing to him that one night.

Starscream let out a strangled cry of shocked ecstasy, his hips bucking upwards and his fingers tightening against the solid muscle of Skyfire's shoulders.

"Primus!" he breathed when Skyfire reached the bulbous tip and ran his tongue around the spongy area. His eyes squeezed shut for a moment before he forced them to open so he could watch what his lover was doing that felt so exquisite. "No wonder the humans are so obsessed with this."

"See?" Skyfire grinned up at him. "All sorts of options," he said, before taking him into his mouth, still fondling his balls as he began to pleasure his trembling, gasping mate.

~Not long,~ Starscream warned him with a wash of raw, mind-bending pleasure as his hips jerked upward. "Sky!" he choked out suddenly when every muscle in his body tightened and a pulse of sweet, slightly tangy jell exploded into Skyfire's mouth.

That was new, though Skyfire knew what it was - he just hadn't been on the receiving end before.

"Mmm... so, experiment successful?" He asked, standing and kissing Starscream deeply as he gasped and trembled in the aftershocks of a hard, fast overload.

"Primus," he breathed before dragging Skyfire down for another kiss, tasting what he assumed was himself in his mate's mouth. He didn't even think about it before deciding he liked the flavor. "Yes," he murmured into another kiss as he found enough coordination to stroke Skyfire's back and along the feathered wings. "Did she teach you anything else?" he asked with a sultry rumble, flickers of actual mating animals on the edge of his thoughts.

"A few things, though most of them take a little more adjusting unless you feel like being female for a while," Skyfire teased him, kissing his chin lightly. "Lay down on your back."

Starscream complied, stretching out languidly as he would in his real body when he wanted to entice his mate. "We can try femme variants later," he promised, his bright white eye taking in his lover's form. "Teach me about this one."

"Just let me know if anything's uncomfortable," Skyfire told him, running his fingers down Starscream's chest, cupping his balls, then fingering his ass lightly, his eyes not leaving his mate's. "I've missed you so much," he whispered, kissing him gently as Starscream's arms would around his neck.

"I can feel it," Starscream whispered, shifting his legs and hips to give his mate easier access to the single opening and relaxed his body. "You could never hurt me," he promised, knowing it was the truth in his very spark.

"Never on purpose," Sky agreed, slipping a finger up into him carefully, slowly, stretching him out and judging his reactions to the sensation. True, this was a mindscape and he could control every detail, but the scientist in him and knowledge of the scientist his bonded was meant a near-instinctive drive to be realistic whenever possible.

True to form, Starscream took anything he did as a best-case and moaned wantonly in pleasure, unabashed in displaying his desire to indulge in anything Skyfire came up with.

The taller male slid up between his legs, kissing him tenderly as he pressed his shaft up against the pucker of his ass. "You've got no idea how hard it was to find information on this," he murmured, pressing into him slowly.

The rush of pleasure, both sides of it since Starscream insisted on sharing how slagging good it felt, of being filled and the tight, slick heat around his penis nearly sent him into overload before he'd even managed to hilt inside Starscream the first time.

"You've always been an exceptional researcher," Starscream groaned, the pleasure, affection, adoration and no small amount of awe all flooding Skyfire from him.

"You're worth it," Skyfire murmured, twining his fingers with Starscream's, opening himself up fully as he began to thrust. Within the first sparkbeat there was no longer a 'me' and 'him' on either side, only a united 'us' that was in near-mindless ecstasy of the duel sensations and the raw, still-fresh need to reaffirm their bond and the love and devotion it was founded on.

Starscream let go of the final bit of terror of being lost, alone, without Skyfire even for the few joors or orns he remembered. Only now mattered, and now was perfect in exquisite pleasure.
