And a third chapter, because I'm feeling generous XD! Written whilst listening to Frost Giant Battle, Banishment, Crisis in Asgard, Odin Confesses and Hammer Found from the Thor soundtrack by Patrick Doyle. On a different note (that is completely unrelated to this fic), has anyone seen the TFP episode 'Crossfire' yet? Anyway, hope you enjoy!
"Ow! Would you cut that out?" Hook sighed irritably.
"If you stayed still then it wouldn't hurt as much! Stop being such a sparkling!" Twilight growled, lying still on the repair berth. She'd never had to have an optic replacement done before, and it hurt like a smelter, more so than the audio repair did. Hook had to practically sit on her to keep her from cringing away from the tools.
"There! It's all done! Now, was that so hard?" She scowled at the medic, hopping off of the berth. Her expression brightened, and she put a hand on the Constructicon's shoulder.
"Thank you, Hook." He shook his head.
"No problem." She rushed out of the med bay, running to her quarters. Cyclonus was in recharge when she arrived. She sighed, looking down at him with soft optics. Sitting next to him, she bent down and planted a kiss on his forehead.
Turns out that was all it took to wake him up.
"Twilight... Twilight!" He sat up, staring at her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering into his audio.
"Thank Primus you're okay." The purple mech allowed himself a small chuckle.
"One day, you're going to get injured, and you're not going to ask me if I'm alright when you get out of the med bay." A moment later, she let go of him, the look in her optics asking why he hadn't returned the embrace.
"Love, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, I-" She shook her head.
"This was Starscream's fault, not yours."
"No, I was weak, I should have-"
"You repelled him in the end, didn't you? You saved me." He shook his head.
"Twilight... I hurt you. Whether it was Starscream or not, it was by my hand that you were tortured, it was my fault."
"Cyclonus... Please," Tears pricked at her optics, threatening to break her resolve, "I do not blame you for this. No matter what you say, this was not your fault." As she said this, Cyclonus couldn't stop picturing the state she had been in when Starscream had finished with her. He shuttered his optics tightly, shaking his head.
"Twilight... I don't want to hurt you again." His spark clenched when a tear rolled down her cheek-plate. He'd never seen her cry before. He'd seen her close to tears, but not like this.
"You won't hurt me. Starscream's gone. Please, don't blame yourself." He was silent, looking anywhere but at her. She held her head in her hands and choked back a sob.
"Look at how pathetic you are, Twilight! Pathetic... Pathetic.. Pathe-"
"I'm sorry, I-"
"Dammit Cyclonus! I don't blame you for this, now would you just drop it?" She snapped. He flinched at her tone and her optics widened.
"Oh Primus, I'm sorry Cyclonus." She got no response. She brought her knees up to her chest-plates and rested her head on them.
She tensed momentarily as Cyclonus' arms wrapped around her waist, holding her gently as if she was the most fragile thing in the world. She looked up, wiping her tears away and forcing back a growl at how pathetic she was acting. After a moment's silence, Twilight craned her neck and pressed her lips against Cyclonus'. He sighed, pulling her closer and moving them to lie down side by side.
"I'm sorry-" Her optics narrowed.
"Stop apologising."
"-for being so stubborn. I should have just believed you when you said you didn't blame me." She frowned.
"Yes, you should have." He kissed her softly.
"I love you, Twilight." She smiled.
"I love you too, Cyclonus. Nothing will ever change that."
Had to end the chapter with some of my badly-written kinda-sorta but not fluffiness, sorry XD!
