Title They were…
Pairings Prowl/Smokescreen/Bluestreak (Datsun Trine! :D)
Summary They were two, and incomplete.
Author's Note Just a dribble exploring a trine that doesn't get the kind of love I think it should. (Why must it always be about the Seekers. *snuffles*)
They were two, and incomplete.
So they remained online, waiting for their missing link, their buffer. They didn't touch, satisfied by the mingling of energy fields, the sounds of their systems. Eased by their proximity. And though they made no physical contact, they brushed their optics over each other, like the lightest touch of fingers. They didn't speak, having had enough of words for one megacycle. Anything that needed to be said, they whispered over their bond.
Too alike and yet too different, they often came at odds with one another, and the bond would strain. So, they left a space on the three berths that they had welded into one, a vast chasm between them that could only be bridged by one other. One whose voice often could bring two so different mechs closer together.
Then the door opened, and he filled the room with noise (with laughter), as he waved a good night to his friends. The door closed, and still his presence remained, loud and boisterous, an ocean of character that soothed them. Still he chattered, going over his day, even though they knew (they watched) and laughingly planning the next one.
He accepted one of their hands, and they pulled him between them. Laid him on his canopy.
They gravitated to him like wayward moons to a sun. They pressed close, a leg on each of his thighs. He gave them equal attention, never favoring one over the other.
They in return gave him their undivided attention. Even though the words washed over their audio receptors only half comprehended, intent instead on the vivacity of his emotions.
One of them—it did not matter which—touched him, a simple stroke up a beveled join. They did nothing to silence him, but absorbed the life he brought into their existence. Their heads rested on his shoulder plates, and their optics cut off.
They were three.
They were whole.
