Chapter 14

Paring: OptimusxMegatron

Pain erupted from Megatron's back as a blade had pierced him. He knew it was a knife because he had been stabbed before by one. The wound burned and his body trembled, then his legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor. His vision becoming dark, the pain becoming worse and weakness was over taking him.

Then laughter came.

"Argh..hmm…" Megatron raised his head slowly and looked up to see his childhood friend standing before him, grinning while holding a bloody knife in his hand.

Megatron tried to get up but the pain from his back burned so badly he felt he was on fire. He collapsed again shaking hard. "W..why!" He spat even if it hurt like hell to talk.

Sharp his once best friend and deputy just laughed and brought up the bundle of money he stole and murdered for in his left hand. He gave it a good sniff and kissed. "Why? Well because working for the law is a waste of time I find more freedom in the act of being a criminal. I can do what I want, when I want and no one can stop me".

" p..prick!"He yelled and forced himself to get on his knees and try to stand. "I fragging trusted you, we grew up together!"

Sharp just slipped his knife back in his pocket. "Doesn't matter, were enemies now plain and simply…" Sharp then stuffed the money in his jacket and watched as Megatron fell again, he was sure he will die soon. "Well goodbye Sheriff it's been fun…"

Suddenly a loud bang echoed along the street. Sharp stood still, optic's widen for a moment then his head moved down slowly and witnessed blood seeping through his jacket. He couldn't get a word out because blood started spilling out from his mouth. He crashed to the ground and his body quickly began shaking as his life force was pumping out of him. Tears fell from his eyes as he looked at the Sheriff. He lay holding a gun which pointed at his direction. The gun barrel still smoking. Sharp had no idea he had a spare gun in his coat, it was hidden and now he was dying.

Megatron sobbed. "I..I'm sorry…"

Sharp just cracked one last laugh which hurt him so much, he spat out more blood choking on it. Then died.

Megatron was left alone blood on his hands not physical but mentally. He killed his best friend.

He had no choice he would tell himself. Shade attacked him, nearly killed him. Then a second voice would say he could have let him get away or yell 'you didn't have to shoot him in the chest, you could have got him in the leg or arm!'

Megatron did admit his angry had clouded his judgment the betrayal and the lies his friend told him all these years got to him

Ever since then he was plagued with a question he wouldn't get an answer to.

"Did you murder him in cold blood?"

…

Megatron awoke from his sleep, sweating and hot from that damn nightmare. It had been a while since he dreamed of that moment. He was sure he could feel the stab wound on his back bleeding again.

"You really don't sleep well do you?" A voice said to his left.

He looked fast and he let out a heavy sigh. It was that smug and handsome idiot Optimus. He sat building a fire and gave a wink at him.

The Sheriff quickly looked at himself expecting to see he was tied up but to his surprise he wasn't, he just had a warm blanket on him.

"W..what happened?" Megatron asked. His mind was a little unclear on what happened after the fire was started.

Optimus threw the last of the sticks onto the fire and sat with his back against a boulder. "I'm sure you remember the bad parts. The fire, building collapsing around us etc"

"Yeah the headache I feel made me remember that part".

Optimus chuckled but then looked up at the stars. He spoke in a soft tone. "You were out cold, I wanted to run and leave you there but, but I guess something stopped me from doing that. I couldn't leave you so I saved you and brought you here".

Megatron sat back too and looked at him. They were both quite and it was becoming awkward so Megatron asked him the question on his mind. "Well I guess you know my next question already…why?"

The outlaw got up and actually sat himself down next to Megatron. The sheriff didn't make a move to get away, instead he sat and listened.

Optimus reached out and placed his hand on Megatron's leg. "Guess my feelings got in the way of my nature. I am an outlaw after all, a criminal and a murdered and a thief and yet…"

"Yet…you saved a Sheriff, an officer of the law and…"Megatron shifted a little finding it hard to even say this. "Who in turn is letting his feelings cloud his judgment too".

Optimus laughed. "Guess we are both messed up in the head".

Megatron hated to agree but it was true. "So where are we anyway, where did you take me?"

"Look to your left". The outlaw muttered.

Megatron did and he was surprised. On the horizon he could see the outline of the town of Darkcon, brightened by the fire of his office. He really wasn't that far away from it, he could even walk it but he doubt Optimus wouldn't just let him do that and he saw little point in trying to run. He had no desire to fight him off. "I thought you would have taken me far away from here".

"I'm still making my mind up about that but for now I thought we could actually talk for once".

Ok this was new to Megatron but he had a feeling Optimus would try to molest him again anyway. "I'm sure you'll be leaving soon my friends will be here shortly".

Optimus didn't seem bothered or worried by that. "I have a friend who is busy creating another trail for your friends to follow, we won't be interrupted".

"Who is your friend?"

"Oh that's not important what is important is you Megatron".

The Sheriff didn't like that and moved further back from Optimus. "So what is it you want to talk about?" He was getting slowly annoyed and moved his hand under the blanket to reach for his gun but sadly it wasn't there. That was one thing Optimus wouldn't let him have.

The outlaw then suddenly grabbed Megatron's wrist, not too hard but he kept a firm grip on it. The sheriff tried to pull it back but Optimus pulled hard and Megatron ended up being on Optimus lap, much to Megatron's dislike.

"Get off! Unhand me right now!" He struggled pushing and hitting but Optimus refused to let him go.

"No I don't think so you're warm, handsome and beautiful and I feel better holding you".

Megatron blushed and pulled back more and looked away. "Argh..y..you can't hold me like this forever!" He tried to struggle one more time but eventually he just gave up and stayed still but shot Optimus an annoyed look.

Optimus in turn pressed his helm against Megatron's. He was tormented. Jazz was pretty pissed at him when he risked his own neck for the Sheriff but he still did it because he had fallen for him, or loved him or whatever you want to call it. Now he was tormented by his feelings and in reality there was no way the Sheriff would be with him.

He said that many times. The only one way was by surrendering or giving up his crime life, but the outcome with that was he would be killed as punishment for his crimes.

"Optimus…what are you…" but he was cut off when Optimus lifted his chin up and their lips almost kissed.

"You're destroying me"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're driving me mad! I want you but I know there is no way you would actually be with me unless I do something silly like give myself up or turn good. I could force myself on but I see little point because I don't want you hating me anymore. I…I want you to love me".

Megatron was shocked he had no words actually to say what he was feeling. This was indeed madness. "Y…you love me!?"

Optimus nodded and then their lips met. Megatron protested but of course that didn't last long, it never did when Optimus kiss was involved. Their mouths and tongues moved against each other in the heated kiss. Megatron arms moved around Optimus waist and he in turn pulled him closer. Megatron moaned unable to stop himself, he was about as hopeless as Optimus was and saw no way out of this.

Suddenly they both pulled back two of them blushing and they pressed their heads together. Optimus grinned as he held Megatron's face in his hands. "I am falling in love with you and…and frag I even made this silly thing for you". He pulled out a blue scarf and shoved it into Megatron's hand. "I know it doesn't look like much, I made it out of an out coat of mine and well I like you to wear it".

Megatron didn't know what to say. This was so strange and surprising he actually did this for him. "Y…you made this for me!"

"Yes I know fragging stupid but…I..I kind of hoped you'll like it".

Megatron lifted it up and couldn't help but smile. "Well Optimus I wouldn't say it was stupid it's a gift so I'll wear it because you saved my life". He took off his orange scarf and put it in his pocket then put the blue one around his neck. "They're happy now?"

Optimus grinned then grabbed the scarf and pulled Megatron into a kiss.

All Megatron could think was how messed up he was and the betrayal he felt inside. Here he was kissing while his friends were trying to find him.

Why did he have to enjoy Optimus kiss so much? Why did he like his touches? Why wasn't he trying to get away from him? Megatron just hoped someone would help him see sense.

"What the frag is this!" A voice yelled.

Well it didn't make him see sense but it stopped him and left him in shock. He saw Ricochet standing before them, a gun pointing right at him. Megatron thought for a moment he was being saved, that was until Optimus spoke.

"Hmm my dear Megatron meet Jazz, my friend"

Megatron eyes widened and all he could say was. "Fuck sake…"
