Well I think it's safe to say that Sunstreaker has won the vote by a good bit. I guess I'll close it down after this chapter. It'll probably be hard to make him be the first to make a move, but I'll find a way to make it work. Anyways I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS! I only own the OC and plot. Some descriptive and possibly disturbing stuff in this one. Nothing too bad but I wanted to let you all know in advance. Oh and am I the only one that thinks that Sunstreaker's theme song should by I'm sexy and I know it by LMFAO?
The next few days went by in a flash with me spending almost every waking moment with the twins when they weren't on patrol. We had managed to successfully prank Ironhide by stuffing confetti up his cannons which let me tell you was both hilarious and terrifying when he started chasing us! Of course we managed to get away from him otherwise I would probably have been hurt again, thankfully that was not the case.
My leg was healed too! Unfortunately the weekend had come so I was stuck on base until Monday anyways. Just as promised Optimus and Ratchet had rounded up a multitude of these little...well they almost were like a tablet. Optimus called them datapads. There was a myriad of information in each of them from the Golden Age of Cybertron, to the past great wars, and a bunch of things that I had not gotten around to reading yet.
One thing that I noticed when I started reading them was how fast I memorized things. Now I had always been a fast learner but now it was like I really could take a picture of whatever I was reading in my head and save it so that the information was permanently there. When I asked Ratchet about it he said that I was a Cybertronian get used to it. Apparently that meant that I now would never forget anything that I read. Kind of cool. I was pretty much the same before but not as exact. Still pretty cool.
So I spent most of the week healing and practicing shooting, then the weekend was spent reading datapads whenever Sides wasn't dragging Sunny and I out to do something stupid. Most of the other bots were busy during this time so my study time wasn't really enforced much to Sideswipe's enjoyment.
Another thing that was going to happen was a processor upgrade, sometime in the next day. Chromia and Ironhide wanted me to be prepared to step up my training next weekend. So either today or tomorrow I was goint to be dragged to the med bay again to have the necessary datapacks downloaded to my processor. Then I had a day or so of down time before I went home.
For now I was with Sides and Sunstreaker again on the opposite side of the island from the base. They had found a small oasis with a waterfall surrounded by trees and little tropical flowers. It really was beautiful so I took a still photo which Sides had shown me how to do so that I could remember it. "Wow...when did you guys find this place?" I walked around the pool of water kneeling next to it to peer into the crystal clear depths. You could literally see every stone at the bottom and all of the brightly colored fish swimming around. I WANT TO GO SWIMMING!
"Yesterday when we snuck off to avoid having patrol. It seemed like a nice place so I figured I'd bring you here. Femmes like pretty scenery." Sides shrugged like it was no big deal. Well to me it was a big deal. A very big deal.
"If I had my swimsuit I'd go swimming." With a shrug I stood and turned only to find myself face to face with the black bikini that Sides had been carrying around in his subspace. I gaped at it then at him. "Umm Sides?"
He grinned wickedly. "You promised..."
Aww man why did he have to remember that?! "Umm d-do I have t-to do it to-day?" I stammered eyeing the garment like it was poisonous. It was just a black two piece with strings that tied behind the neck and at the hips... In other words it was skimpy.
"You promised that as soon as your leg was healed you would wear it." He prompted me and shoved the thing in my face.
I stumbled clutching at it like it had burned me. "Sidessss" I whined. Why did I have to get myself into these situations all over a freaking spider? Granted it looked like the big spider from Aracnaphobia but still. Was it worth this new torture? No. I gave him my best pout in the hopes that it would make him change his mind but he only shook his helm and pointed me behind a dense patch of trees. With a sigh I turned and sulked all the way over to them contemplating my chances of outrunning them in an escape attempt. The chances were not very high...they could turn into freaking suped up sports cars that could top out at over 200MPH. So no I was not getting out of this.
I pushed my way behind the bush and stood there for a moment dreading what was about to happen... Then with great reluctance and with my spark hammering in my chest I started shedding my clothes...all of them. "No peeking!"
"I promise not to!" Came Sides' cheeky reply. The smile that must be on his face was audible in his voice.
The last of my garments my underwear fell to the dirt below...leaving me in the middle of a forest naked. My chest tightened in anxiety as sweat pooled at my brow from my overheated internal systems when I reached for the bikini bottoms and pulled them on tying the sides carefully. Then I grabbed the top and tied the back and neck area before sliding it around to slide my breasts into. One thing that I had noticed was that my breast were large but firm. Ratchet said that it was because of my protoform, there was actually only a relatively thin layer of flesh over my protoform so my chassis was large for my size. Yay for giant robotic boobs!
I took a moment to look myself over in the swimsuit cringing at all of the skin revealed showing the blue markings covering the entire left side of my body. Taking a deep breath I forced myself to step out from behind the bushes and into certain embarrassment and doom.
Both twins stopped talking to one another in favor of turning in my direction jaws prompty dropping.
My cheeks heated up in a blush. "I hate you right now." I stammered embarrassedly under the intense scrutiny. They were watching me like freaking hawks, optics roaming from my head to my feet several times over. Note to self never ever make such a stupid deal with Sides again!
Sides seemed to snap out of his staring first moving to kneel down in front of me, much too close for the comfort of my virgin mind. He reached out and it was then that I noticed he was looking most intently at the blue marks on my arm. And when his pointer digit made contact with a mark on my lower arm we both jolted as the left side of my body started glowing a bright yet still pale blue. An electric shock tore through my body literally jumping off of my skin and leaping onto Sides causing him to make a startled sound. But he didn't jump back.
The sensation was like a warm electric humming coursing through my body. It felt good, warm and stimulating. I didn't know what it was but...it was like I could feel another consciousness. It must have been Sides. His curiosity and wonder coursing into me strongly. "Sides? What's happening?"
His optics locked with mine looking so much brighter than I had ever seen them. "I can feel your spark." He murmured in awe. The pale blue glow reflected off of his bright red paint casting hues of red and pink around the small clearing we were in. It was like nothing I had ever seen before.
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked self consciously. All of this was still relatively new to me.
He looked surprised. "No of course not. It's very much like feeling your presence only with you I can feel a small inkling of your emotions. That is odd but it doesn't feel bad."
"Oh." Was my dumb response coming out in a more breathy tone. The sensations coursing through me were unlike anything I had ever felt before in my life, they were making my body grow incredibly warm.
Sides finally took pity on me and let me go. Just in time too because I almost felt like I would pass out at this rate. "We were going to swim right?"
"Yeah. Swim." I breathed out. Sides shifted down to his alt mode and activated his holoform only this time he was wearing red swim trunks. He shot a glare at Sunstreaker when his twin didn't move to do the same.
With a series of grumbles and growls the gold mech followed Sides' example and shifted down before activating his holoform as well. Surprise surprise he was wearing gold swim trunks to match his paint.
I blushed like crazy as I took their forms in. Tall, sculpted six pack abs, strong looking biceps and legs...and oh my god the pecks on these two! They were seriously about to make me faint or something!
The two caught my gaze raising holoform brows simultaneously as if to say 'what are you staring at?' or 'do you like what you see?' The latter seemed to be more Sideswipe's reaction to my gawking, and being caught gawking had me blushing again in record time. With an undignified scramble I hastily got into the pool and swam out into the middle allowing the cool water to relieve some of the heat.
I heard them get in but I didn't look in their direction. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that I couldn't make sense of. First there was the little encouonter between Sides and I where I apparently shot my spark at him or something. Don't ask me how cause I have no idea. Then there was me gawking at them like an idiot! And the worst part was that they noticed me gawking at them! At least I was smart enough not to get caught doing it when they were in their real form but damn! By this point I was almost sure that I was crushing hard!
Now this wouldn't be a problem if I had any sort of chance with either of them. However I was quite sure that I was only viable as a friend or a fuck buddy maybe. Because let's face it! Who would want to date a girl that only came up to their knee? And no that is not a slam against dwarfs or anything. This situation was just entirely different than that.
I would just ignore it! Yeah that would work! Just ingore it and pray that it would go away! It was only my first crush anyways! Girls and boys had dozens if not hundreds of crushes in their lifetimes and I, even if I was technically an alien, would be no different.
'But a human boy will never complete you the way one of them would.' My mind whispered.
That was true. But I was not going to set myself up for heartbreak. No one would ever want to do that if it could be helped and I was no different. So I would ignore that little inkling in my chest that made me feel as if I had little butterflies fluttering around in there everytime I looked at one of them.
I nodded resolutely to myself as Sides swam over to me...raising the question of how they even knew how to swim. But then again they could just look it up on the internet and figure it out. I wondered if I would be able to do that at some point. It would be kinda cool to not have to use a computer to look up stuff on the internet!
"Thinking too hard Clare?" Sides grinned as he floated by me on his back looking completely relaxed.
"Maybe!" I laid back on the water with a cheerful chirp and took to floating beside him. "Not gonna tell you what I'm thinking about though." I teased him. If I could just keep this up maybe the whole ignoring my feelings thing would work.
He pouted. "Why not? I thought we were friends." There was a distinctly whining tone to his voice that made me want to giggle.
And I did so, soft bell like laughter escaping me. "We are! But sometimes friends just don't want to talk about things."
Sides opened his mouth to no doubt make some sort of protest only to be cut off by our other companion. "Leave her alone Sides. If she wants to talk she will if not leave her be." Sunstreaker chastised him.
"But Sunny!" Sides whined cutely. Yes cutely. He even had the whole puppy dog optics thing going on to add to the act.
Sunstreaker swiftly glared at him. "No buts. Just shut up and do this swimming thing you wanted to try."
"Fine!"
After that we spent a good amount of time screwing around in the water. I took to splashing Sunstreaker whenever he got close enough just because he got pissed off and chased me. Haha I was a better swimmer though and I swam under the water to get away since for some reason he would not actually go under. Weird I know but it made getting away from him easy.
I was actually having a lot of fun having all out splash wars with Sides, and double teaming Sunstreaker in our game. When we weren't doing that Sides and I were practicing different swimming techniques for fun. So far I had shown him the breast stroke, back stroke, the butterfly stroke, and a few others that I couldn't remember the names for. The way Sides did the breast stroke was freaking hilarious though I think he was doing it on purpose. Sctatch that, the way he would come up and make a multitude of sounds for no apparent reason, ranging from a firetruck imitation to doing a beatbox imitation like that one guy from that gay ass children's cartoon yo gabba gabba I think, was freaking hilarious.
Then Sides, that fragging afthole came up from under me while I was distracted and picked me up on his shoulders making me shriek. "Sides put me down you jerk!" I laughed while I clutched at him to keep myself upright. "Oh man if only Bee were here we could play chicken!"
"What's chicken? Besides an earth bird that lays eggs?" Oh Sides he looked so clueless!
"It's a game where there are two pairs! One person props the other up on their shoulders and then the two people who are riding on the other people's shoulders try and wrestle the other person into the water. It's fun!"
"Well you can try and wrestle Sunny down into the water from there." Sides suggested making Sunstreaker glare at him.
What a great idea! I doubted that it would work...but a girl could try right? I sized Sunstreaker up warily looking for the right way to take him down. But was there really a right way to take down a giant robotic alien in human form? No probably not. So why not wing it?
Only things did not go exactly as I had planned...for when I shifted on Sides' shoulders in preparation for my attack on Sunstreaker I slipped and fell forward smacking face first into my target. Now this would not have been necessarily bad if by falling face first onto him I did not mean that I literally actually fell mouth first onto his own freaking mouth. Thus kissing him as we fell into the water. My eyes popped open so wide at that first touch as did his, a furious blush rising to my cheeks instantly. I floundered not really knowing what to do for a moment until I abruptly pulled myself away and rushed back to the surface of the pool. Without missing a beat I waded past Sides who was looking rather surprised by the turn of events and hefted myself from the water. I stalked over behind the bushes where I had left my clothes and yanked them on over my swimsuit before I took off at a brisk jog back in the direction of the base.
My mind was spinning chaotically with the events that had just transpired. I had kissed Sunstreaker! Sure it was on accident but somehow I doubted that that would make any sort of difference to him! And right when we were actually getting to the point where he didn't want to squish me... How freaking tragic. Well all of that was sure to go up in a fiery pit of doom and despair now... He probably would never even look at me again. A disasterous end to one of my first crushes... Sigh. His soon to be rejection and anger was already hurting my spark so much and it hadn't even happened yet. Maybe I should just avoid them until...well until they came to find me?
Yeah that would have to work because I could not face them after what had happened.
Sideswipe's demands from that day at the beach came back to me, him demanding that Sunstreaker and I kiss. Fragger had gotten his wish. At least someone would be happy with this situation.
Sunstreaker sure wouldn't be.
(Sunstreaker's POV)
I was frozen, unable to even contemplate changing back into my real form. The feeling of warm flesh lips pressed against my own equally pliable ones was still fresh in my processor. So warm and soft and unlike anything I had expected. I had expected her flesh armor to taste bad, but surprisingly enough it had tasted just like any other femme I had kissed. Sweet with a metallic tang. The taste coming through the fleshy covering.
Sides' part of the bond was filled with elation and joy. The fragger was getting so much out of what had just happened. That was most likely due to the fact that my twin liked the little femme as more than a friend. Thus the reason for his overly blatant flirting.
And me? I was being influenced by those emotions and thoughts deeply. My twin liked her and what one felt the other felt even if they didn't like it. And I really didn't like it, at least before the last few solar cycles I had detested it. Now, after our brief contact and the subsequent rush of affection that Sides was feeling, well it made me feel...well less inclined to detest it anymore.
(What did she taste like? C'mon Sunny share it with me!) Sides badgered me.
Without really thinking about it I replayed the memory of her soft lips pressing aginst mine, focusing strongly on the sweet taste of her.
(Primus I want to try that too!) Sides groaned in need. (She's so fragging hot even with that fleshy armor. I wonder what she looks like underneath all of that.)
A deep growl of frustration escaped me before I could stop it. (Just shut up Sides! You're the one that started all of this! The feelings for that femme! All of it! What do you even want with her anyways? A quick frag then send her packing like every other femme?)
(No. You're the one that uses femmes like that Sunny not me. If I could I would have already had us a pretty little femmefriend of our own. Maybe you should stop using them for face.)
Another growl escaped me. That was easy for him to say! Bots of all kinds flocked to him for his outgoing and cheerful personality! The femmes only wanted him when we were outside the berth, only ever paying attention to me when we were in it. I was the frag toy, no good for anything else! Yet he wanted me to give a femme a chance? Maybe they should give me one! I was better than any mech out there and they should know that! Nobot could frag like I could!
(Maybe they want something other than rough loving in the berth?) Sides suggested as he sidled up beside me. (You've got to give it an effort outside of the berth to get what you really want. Don't change per se, but try not being so...quick to take out your anger on them.)
(I shouldn't have to change for a femme. I'm perfect the way I am.) And as far as I was concerned everybot knew it and was jealous. I knew it in my spark that I was the best mech in the universe and no femme bot or mech was going to tell me otherwise. (Just forget it Sides...)
(But Sunny I like her! She's nice and funny...she likes us both for who we are! Maybe she can be the one to accept you for who you are? She's done her best to treat you and I the same, even going so far as to spend equal time with us.)
(I don't care.) I steeled myself and released my holoform to return to my real form. Once I was back in my frame I gunned my engine and took off leaving Sides behind... The femme was not something that I wanted to think about. Her warm lips and sweet taste. The innocence with which she had looked at me with. Sides could try and convince me that she would be different but I knew better. I always did.
I didn't want to be the second choice again. The rejected one. Only good for interfacing and not even considered an actual bonding prospect. It was the one thing that could hurt even my spark.
Frag femmes. Frag bonding. They were only good for interfacing. That was what I told myself.
But why did I think otherwise when I remembered that kiss? What was my twin and that femme doing to me?
(Clare's POV)
I avoided the twins as much as I could having a good excuse thanks to the processor upgrade I had to get done. After that I spent time recovering from the processor aches for the next day until it was time to go home. Jazz had spent the majority of that time prodding at me to know what had happened, subtly of course, but I just couldn't talk about it. Everytime I even thought about it my cheeks got all warm and my lips tingled. My chest felt like it was filled with butterflies... I just didn't know what to do with myself.
I found myself inching around base looking for any sign of the two before I would enter or leave a room. Whenever I even saw a flash of red or gold I bolted in the other direction. Jazz must have noticed my behavior but I just couldn't bring myself to talk about it.
My first kiss would lead to rejection. Sigh...every girls dream. At least today I got to go home. Right now I was waiting in the hangar for whoever was supposed to escort me home, hope filling my every fiber that it was not Sideswipe or Sunstreaker.
Unfortunately much to my chagrin it was the gold mech himself that stalked into the hangar with an angry scowl on his face. Sideswipe was trailing along after him with a wide cheerful smile. He waved at me as soon as he saw me seemingly thinking nothing of the situation from the other day. "Hi Clare."
"Hi Sides." I waved to him awkwardly using his presence to distract me from looking at Sunstreaker. "So ummm who got sadled with Claresitting duty?"
He grinned at my name for it gesturing at Sunstreaker. "Sunny did. He's so excited about it too!" Sides teased.
Sunstreaker scowled angrily making me want to shrink into myself and disappear. He hated me now I was sure of it. So sure of it and it hurt. "Oh. Ok." I mumbled awkwardly. "Well I guess I'll see you next time you get stuck watching me?"
The normally bright and cheerful red mech grinned even wider if that was possible. "Sure thing Clare." He scooted closer to me kneeling down so that he was once again in my personal space. "And be careful with Sunny while he's with you ok? He's really fragile right now."
Sunstreaker reached out and cuffed his brother on the helm harshly. While I was left to wonder what the heck that meant? "Shut up you slagging idiot!"
The harsh tone almmost made me want to snap back away from Sunstreaker, but I knew that he wouldn't actually hurt me even if he was angry at me. Sure at the beginning there were the times when he was tempted and I could see it but I didn't feel that from him anymore. Our relationship had its rocky points but overall I had thought that we were starting to become friends...and then I had gone and fell on his face and kissed him. Man I was so stupid. "I wouldn't purposefully do anything to hurt him Sides he's my friend." I told him honestly. "Not that I could because he's Sunstreaker and he'd crush me like an insignificant insect if I tried, please note the sarcasm by the way." I forced myself to speak in a joking tone, smiling like inside I was perfectly fine.
Sunstreaker frowned at me. "No I wouldn't." He grumbled in what sounded like a bitter tone.
Oh shit I had offended him somehow...without even trying. I sighed. "It was a joke Sunny. I'm saying that I don't think I could hurt you in any way and definitely not physically. Therefore I made a joke about it. It was supposed to be funny aftcake."
He growled at me and I was expecting some kind of rebuttal about the name I had called him both of them. But nothing like that came. He just stood there.
Sides just stood there too not commenting which was unusual as he looked back and forth between the two of us.
The atmosphere was distinctly heavy and even somewhat foreboding or maybe it was just me feeling that way. I mean the last day had been spent avoiding them due to my own embarrassment, and not just that but it was spent wallowing in the thoughts of rejection. So I had expected something bad to happen when I saw him...him belittling me for kissing him or outright telling me to never get that close to him again. But he had not yet done any of that. That didn't mean that he wouldn't...maybe he was waiting until Sides was gone before crushing me. I mean if Sides was around during that he would probably try and comfort me or admonish his brother somehow, and that would only anger Sunstreaker.
Well it was best to just get this done. Get him alone so that he could deliver the crushing blow. It would hurt but then again it was just a crush so I would be ok. "Well Sunny we have to get going."
Without uttering a single word he shifted down to alt mode and opened the passenger door for me. I waved at Sides trying my best not to show the anxiety and pain I was already feeling as I got into Sunny. He gave me an odd look but waved back nonetheless.
"I think I'm coming to take over for Sunny tomorrow Clare! I'll see you then ok?" He called to me.
"Ok." I called back before the door slid shut and the seatbelt slid around me.
After that it fell into complete silence as we drove to the airport. The silence was nearly destroying my sanity...but I could say nothing as we flew back to Tranquility.
What could I say? I just didn't know. Part of me wanted to say sorry and make promises not to do it again. And another part of me, the part that was crushing hard wanted to do it again.
So I did nothing. And neither did he.
A day went by. Bee took Sam and I to school as usual the next morning. Sunstreaker followed us and parked in the back of the lot farthest from any cars. Sam seemed to notice that something was bothering me as did Bee, but neither of them asked me about it. Mikeala on the other hand kept badgering me.
But I didn't answer her questions or demands. I was too busy sulking due to the fact that Sunstreaker would not talk to me at all. When I tried he sat there silently not commenting even to make a snide remark, and his silence was the worst kind of rejection.
He made me want to cry because of how he was acting and I never cried for real. But it was just how he was making me want to react. I was torn, apologetic about what had happened, and then not because in a way I had enjoyed it.
Should I just apologize and get it over with? Or should I be my normal blunt self and tell him to get over it because I actually liked it? Something told me that one of those two, whichever I chose was either going to destroy any chance of friendship we had, or perhaps it would make things better between us. Or maybe I was just lost in wishful thinking? Yeah probably the last one.
Anyways at lunch time I escaped from Mikeala and retreated to the outside tables where Sides, Bee, and I had that run in with Trent. I sat down with my lunch eyes landing briefly on Sunny's alt mode across the lot. I only held the direction of my gaze for a moment before I turned with a sigh and started picking at my lunch.
I had wanted to be alone to think, but life had other plans in the form of Mikeala storming up to where I was sitting with her own lunch. She plopped down with a glare and proceeded to just stare at me for a moment.
I ignored it focusing more intently on picking at my food and mulling over my crappy luck with males...er mechs. My mind kept telling me that no human would ever compare to one of them and I was inclined to agree. They would constantly grow old and die, I could never reproduce with one even with the Allspark, I could never be sparkmates with one. The list just kept going on and on.
"So are you going to tell me what happened to make you act like a depressed recluse or what?" Mikeala prompted me after several moments of heavy silence.
A deep sigh escaped me. "I kissed someone and well...it was an accident and all, but I think he hates me now because of it." I whispered low enough that I hoped Sunstreaker wouldn't hear it.
Mikeala gasped eyes brightening. "Really? Who was it? Was it one of the soldiers on base? Or was it one of the Autobots?" She whisper yelled back excitedly.
"Mikeala shhh! I don't want anyone to hear!"
"Sorry. But I have to know who! What was it like for you?" She leaned forward with her elbows propped up on the table top until she was in my personal space.
I thought back to the kiss with Sunstreaker as brief as it had been I could still remember the warmth and how firm yet soft his lips were. And the taste was like something metallic yet still spicy with a sweet tang. It had sent warmth shooting through every inch of my body like an electric current. I liked it. "It was warm and it made me feel like this electric current was shooting straight through me. I liked it."
She squealed softly under her breath, not looking like her normal biker girl self. At least that's what she seemed like to me sometimes. "Who? What did it taste like?"
My eyes briefly shot over to where Sunny was sitting in the parking lot, a blush breaking out across my cheeks. Well if he could hear he already knew what was being discussed so... "Well it was umm..." Still I couldn't force myself to say it out loud when he could possibly hear it so I scooted around to Mikeala's side and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "It was Sunstreaker. I ummm I accidentally fell on him and kissed him while he was in holoform."
She gaped at me. "No way. You..." Her eyes darted over to the sleek golden lamborghini then back to me with this gleam in them. "and him kissed? And you're still alive?" Her voice rose to a slightly higher octave.
I frowned at her. "Mikeala Sunnn-streaker would not hurt me. Sure he can be a jerk sometimes and he's aggressive, but he's never actually hurt me on purpose. He may be upset that I kissed him even if it was on accident, but I trust him not to ever take it out on me like that."
She immediately looked apologetic. "Oh right. Well you know him better than Sam and I do."
"I do."
"So what did it taste like?"
My cheeks heated up until they felt like they would scald anyone that touched them. "Well it was metallic kind of but still spicy and somewhat sweet. Really it was strange yet it kind of tasted good. Really good. And he was so warm. At first I was mortified cause it was my first kiss...but I liked it. He may be mad but I still liked it." And admitting that made my spark hammer in my chest almost painfully.
"Your first kiss?!"
"Yeah."
She grinned at me like the cat that ate the damn canary. "Well are you guys gonna talk and maybe go out? It's obvious to me that you like him."
As soon as the words were out of her mouth I reached over in a flash and smacked my hand over it to shut her up, whispering furiously. "Mikeala shut up! He's over there in the parking lot right now!"
She mumbled against my hand. "Immknophh."
"Well then stop talking about it! He doesn't like me like that!" I tried to ignore how admitting that made me feel. Like straight up slag.
She pushed my hand off. "You don't know that! Clare you kissed him and he let you live! That has to mean something."
"No it doesn't Mikeala. Just please-" A form plopped down beside me mid sentence someone's big beefy arm wrapping around my shoulders in a tight embrace. I took one look at our new arrical and growled dangerously. "Trent get lost!" Primus didn't this guy ever take a freaking hint?!
He gave me that stupid mock hurt look again. "Aww babe don't be like that! I saw you sitting over here with the football team's used goods so I decided to come and give you some real company."
Mikeala scowled at him. "Fuck you Trent!"
"Already did Mikea, many times." He responded easily before turning his attention to me again. "So how about you and me go and see a movie this weekend Clare? It'll be my treat."
I shoved his arm off. "Umm how about no? I don't like you and I never will Trent. Just get over it and move on with your life. Come on Mikeala let's go inside before his presence corrupts us." With that I stood and gathered my things before turning to leave.
A sudden rough jerk on my arm had me stumbling back my things falling to the ground as hands wrapped around me, one cupping my right breast, and another cupping me through my pants. Hot breath ghosted against my ear the only thing that I could clearly hear when Trent was actually molesting me!
"Hey let her go Trent you fucking asshole!" Mikeala shouted.
He squeezed me through my clothes causing my breath to catch in my throat. Disgust and revulsion crept through my entire body as I finally regained myself enough to move to shove him off.
Only before I even could he was roughly jerked away from me. I spun around to see my savior Sunstreaker holding Trent by the throat suspended a good two feet from the ground, his look was positively murderous. "Give me one good reason why I should not rip your fragging hands off and stuff them down your throat." He growled dangerously.
He looked almost prepared to do just that at a moments notice too! I had seen Sunstreaker livid, but this was taking it. Terror welled up inside of me at the thought that he might actually do it! I knew what would happen if he did and I didn't want to face that. So I did the first thing that came to me...I opened a comm. link between us as I lunged at him from behind hugging him from the back. :Sunny you can't actually hurt him! Remember what Optimus said! Let him go.:
If anything his grip only tightened around Trent's neck, whom was already turning purple from oxygen deprevation. But just when I thought he was about to actually strangle Trent to death he released his grip and let the idiot fall to the grass below. "Stay away from Clare you piece of scrap." He growled menacingly.
I rubbed soothing circles on his stomach to try and calm him. :It's ok. I'm fine. He just surprised me is all.:
Trent took off like a coward the minute he regained his feet. That left us standing there in silence. Sunstreaker had not yet moved to shrug me off and me? I was content to cling to him for as long as he would allow. At least I wanted to. I wanted to cling to him and pretend that he was letting me because I actually had a chance with him.
But I had to let him go because I had no doubt that Trent would be going to the Principal. So Sunny had to get out of here. I wanted him to stay but... "You should go before the Principal calls the cops."
He turned to look at me, turning in my arms so that he was facing me, towering over me even in holoform. We just stood there with him staring at me.
"I'll talk to Optimus if he wants to know what happened...you know if he wants to punish you for it."
He said nothing. Just continued staring at me. I had to push him back towards his alt mode to break him out of it. "Please Sunny. You need to go before anyone comes to see what happened. Bee will bring me back after school. I'll see you then."
He seemed to get what I was saying then and turned to return to his alt mode. But before he separated from me I swear I saw his eyes soften so minutely that I barely caught it. Then he was gone running back across the parking lot to hop into his alt mode to make it seem like he was actually human. With a loud roar of his engine he was tearing out of the lot.
I just watched him go. Torn and grateful at the same time. When I got home I would have to talk to him. We had to sort things out.
Or more like I had to apologize for what had happened and hope that he would still be willing to not hate me again. That would be great compared to any of the other forseeable outcomes I could predict.
Hopefully he would be willing to forgive me.
I prayed that he would.
R&R! So there's the first kiss and some awkwardness between the two. Sunny won the vote so I'm going to start working on getting them together. It'll probably be bumpy at best but hey I'm going to do the best I can!
cmfanreidsgirl- Well that's going to be the story of her life...for a while only it's only going to get more complicated.
Muirgen79- Yup he deserved it for not letting her take a break!
himelove22- Lol I come up with the best words and phrases XD.
nighten-gale1720- I used to slaughter my friends on halo too back in the day lol. I'm glad that you could make a connection between the story and real life!
HeartsGuardianSol- Well I kind of expect worse from like HotRod or Bluestreak... maybe it's just me lol. But yeah poor Clare...snickers...it was so freaking funny! And keep waving that flag! Next chapter is going to be interesting I'll bet.
Izzy-dragon-rider- I think that at this point Sunny's oblivious to the fact that HE likes her and not just Sides XD. And no he wasn't embarrassed that's just how he is, at least in that situation he was just telling it like it was. But yeah he does get embarrassed easily.
OptimusPrimesgirl213- Glad you're enjoying it!
