"One moment of patience may ward off a great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life."-Chinese Proverb.
The kiss was pure bliss. And that was the problem. All this time they had loved me and I had never known…all this time. I must need an optics check in the near future.
Wildrider pulled back with a smug grin. "How was that?"
I blinked my optics and tried to grin back, but it fell flat. "You never knew how much I would've given to hear any of you say those words to me, but now…"
'Rider stiffened. "But what?" his optics narrowed as they flashed dangerously. "Is there someone else?" he hissed.
Images of Sarah and 'Hide crossed my processor. Sarah would always be the one I hold dearest in my spark and could never be replaced. Ironhide seemed to have started reciprocating my feelings and maybe Sarah would be more accepting of him since was almost family anyway and I knew Annie would accept him 'cause she loved the big guy too.
Wildrider pulled me out of my thoughts by grabbing a hold of my arms in a vice grip. "Is there anyone else?" he repeated. I remained silent as he growled deeply. "There is isn't there?" Again, I remained steadfastly silent. "Say something."
"There isn't anything to say." I muttered and pretty much answered the accusation at the same time.
The grip on my arms slackened as 'Rider stared at me, hurt and betrayal written across his faceplate. "But I-we-love you. Doesn't that matter at all to you?"
It felt so wrong to see him so sullen and down. Even more I felt like a complete glitch to be the cause of it, but they had their chance. "It does, but my wife, she makes me happy."
"We could-wait." Wildrider paused and went ridged as I froze. "Wife?" he asked in a deathly calm whisper. "You human bonded with an organic?" he hissed, sounding very much like an angry cat.
This was not the way I had planned to tell anyone this. Scratch that, I hadn't planned to tell them this at all. So I felt the need to change the subject, to at least distract him for a few kliks. "Er, is my Carrier here?"
"No, he left to go prepare your welcome back at the main base." 'Rider said, still with that calm voice. His servo lashed out and grabbed my upper arm, practically dragging me off the berth and out of the room.
I saw that the main room was a dull gray, and I was sure that the color choice hadn't been the Stunties decision. It seemed to bland a color for them to pick. They also appeared to have taken to earth because I saw a stone couch and a large T.V.
'Rider pointed at the couch. "Sit." He said in a voice I've never heard directed at me from him. It was serious and angry.
I saw down without question and saw 'Rider's optics dim. I heard four sets of footsteps and a yellow mech with a visor sat immediately beside me. A blue and white mech, and a maroon one stood near me behind the couch. Motormaster was standing in front of me with his arms crossed. I felt suddenly boxed in.
"Why did you call us out here, Wildrider?" he growled.
"Will already has a mate. An organic femme." 'Rider said scathingly.
Drag Strip began shaking me. "What's wrong with you?" he shouted dramatically. "You leave us and mate with an organic of all things?"
Motormaster punched Drag Strip in the faceplate, causing the mech to go silent as he glare at me. "Go to my room. Now."
"But Starscream said we're not allowed to frag him." Breakdown pointed out tentatively.
"What Starscream doesn't know, won't hurt…any of you." Motormaster said harshly then looked at me again. "Last room at the end of the hall. Now get."
I knew they wouldn't speak until I was gone, so I left. I stopped just short of his room when the current situation struck me. They weren't watching me, so I could escape.
I smirked to myself and backtracked to the part of the hall where it broke off into another corridor. If I know the Stunties like I know I do, then they'd be talking about this for most of the luna cycle.
As I stealthily moved down the hall since I didn't want them to know what I was doing, and quietly checked every door, I could find since I knew if I didn't get out of here, then the 'Bots would think I've gone AWOL and that I double-crossed them.
And those thoughts alone could destroy the fragile trust any of them may still have for me.
And they were just starting to get used to me again.
I tried yet another door and didn't think twice when I found that it lead outside, even if it was dark out now. I took a running start and did a jump transformation and activated my thrusters.
Now that I had escaped, my thoughts were centered around one thing: what was my Carrier on when he thought kidnapping his own sparkling was a good idea?
Granted, before he totally ruined the moment, it was nice seeing him again, but that stunt was not the way to go about it. I hope he's very shocked when he finds out that I'm not at the outpost. I'm just really pissed he had chosen now to do something like this. I mean Annie's birthday is in another solar cycle and I'll be damned before I break my little girl's spark.
Then there was the fact the Stunticons now I knew about Sarah. Well, not knew since they didn't know who she was, was, just that she was an organic femme. They probably wouldn't even make the jump from 'mate' to 'sparkling' since any normal Cybertronian would think that was impossible. And that 'Bots were proof of that.
But I had proved that theory wrong, hadn't I?
My radar pinged and I saw several blips on the screen. Two were N.E.S.T vehicles, but the other two registered as Autobots…Prime and 'Hide!
My spark soared and I went in for a landing, only to go back up to avoid the shots the N.E.S.T soldiers shot at me. I wondered why they were doing that when in remembered that I still had my alien jet form, and that generally, 'seeker' or 'flyer' meant 'Con to them.
Well, there paranoia would've been vindicated earlier in the day, but that wasn't the case now.
I saw the two Autobots transform and I did the same, even if I just made myself a bigger target. "Wait!" I screeched over the weapons fire in Cybertronian since I didn't want the humans to know who I was. "It's me! It's Will!"
"Cease fire!" I heard Prime command and once I thought it was safe for me to land without being shot at, I did. "Will?"
I nodded, knowing they could see me clearly despite the fact I blended into the night background so well. "Yeah, my Carrier kidnapped me when he wanted to see me. I'm such an idiot for believing he wouldn't do anything."
"Are you injured?" This time it was 'Hide who spoke and I could almost detect something that sounded like concern in his voice.
I shook my head. "No, I'm not. But what are they doing here?" I asked referring to the soldiers that were still looking at me warily, like I was a snake about to strike.
"The soldiers overheard me say that 'Will' had been missing and volunteered to help find him." 'Hide explained.
"Hmm, I see." I said and thought of a way to prolong revealing that I am both human and mech Will. Though it will be strange to have to see through two different optics/eyes at the same time; one the reasons I usually just shut my real body down whenever I use my holoform.
I felt my holoform reform inside my cockpit and lifted my metal servos to it as the glass moved away and I felt myself step into my own servos.
"Will, what are you doing?" Prime asked in surprise.
"Making sure they don't shoot me when I come back to N.E.S.T with you." I answered. 'And it also gives me an excuse to not tell the soldiers about.' I added silently. I felt and saw my holoform being placed on the ground and I took a few wobbly steps to make it more believable. "Hey, guys, didn't make you worry, did I?" I asked through my holoform without moving my real mouth.
Like a ventriloquist.
The men looked rather relieved to have their leader back. "Hey, man, you okay?" One of them asked.
I felt and saw my holoform wave dismissively. "Yeah, thankfully, that black coloured seeker got me out of there."
And even though I saw it in to perspectives, the gratefulness on the soldiers faces made me preen.
"That was an incredibly risky thing you did back there." Ironhide commented once we got back to base and 'human Will' said he was going to sleep it off, but I had deactivated the holoform as soon it was out of sight.
I shrugged my shoulders and tried to ignore the gritty sand trying to seep its way into my seams as I sat in the beach, not feeling very tired, even after the stress I had gone through earlier. "I know." I answered to 'Hide, who was sitting beside me.
"Are you really okay though?" he asked putting a servo on my shoulder and I couldn't help but subconsciously lean into the touch.
I shifted a little closer to him. "Yeah, I really am. They didn't hurt me or anything."
"Who exactly?" Ironhide questioned.
"The Stunticons." I answered before could stop myself.
If 'Hide was perturbed by this, he didn't show it. "Ah, I see. And they really didn't anything?" he asked dubiously.
My vents let out a faux sigh. "Well, Wildrider kissed me and just before that he said he loved me. Though I had a feeling he was speaking for all of them."
"And what did you say?" Ironhide asked in a somewhat strained voice.
"I basically told him that it was too late." I answered honestly, and shifted even closer to the other mech.
"And why's that?" 'Hide asked, but it also sounded like he already knew what my answer would be.
I looked up at him. "Because I'm already in love with someone else. And while I love Sarah too, it's not just her." I said and that knowing look vanished. I forced myself to lean closer so our faceplates were mere inches apart. "It's you too." I whispered, and throwing caution into the wind, I closed the small space between us.
I felt 'Hide remain unresponsive for all but three kliks before he started kissing back and wrapped my arms around his neck and used my weight to push him to the sandy ground. I felt his arms wrap around my waist, but then he pulled back.
"I suppose this means you do like me?" he asked in a rarely cheeky tone.
I rolled my optics. "Duh! I've liked you ever since I met you. I especially like the way you can handle a weapon." I purred.
'Hide smirked before flipping over with me now lying on my back. "And I know that seeker's never give anything up, right?"
I grinned and ran my hand down his chest plate. "Normally that'd be the case, but I think I can push my pride back just this one time for you, but you gotta earn it next time."
"I look forward to that challenge, Will." Ironhide retorted.
I chuckled. "So do I."
With my arms still around his neck, I pulled him down and kissed him again, this time with much more passion and he returned it with just as much fervor. I arched as one of his hands began tweaking with a transformation seam on my hip and the other hands stayed firmly on my waist. I moaned and let the latches on my chest plate unlatch and slide back to reveal my spark. The hand on my hip moved up to my chest and I keened softly as he began to gently stroke the glass.
'Hide pulled back only to let his own chest plate open and reveal his spark too, then he kissed me again and brought out spark chambers together.
After glow? Forget that, I was going to be supernova bright after this.
A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while, so I hope this chapter was to you, the reader's satisfaction, esspecially the end part. I finally got some 'Hide/Will going on. Heehee.
