Knockout could hear Megatron ranting and raving about Starscream through the halls of the Nemesis. Even with the door closed, he could still hear his master's furious yells along with the cries of any poor grunt who got in his way. He had made the right decision staying in the med bay at the moment.
He glanced over at the container that held the remains of that human. He had offered to take the remains when Starscream was trying to clean it up cycles ago. He had wanted to study it, but there wasn't much he could do with it in such a horrible state besides examine the blood and how some of the human body functioned.
"I could just dispose of you since you'll be stinking up my lab," he said while walking over to the container. There were other vials he had collected of the human when she was being held in those chains when she was first captured. It wasn't much. Some blood, some hair, and some skin that had come off when she tried to escape.
He looked at his morbid collection and an idea suddenly came to him. He hadn't tested the blood from when she first escaped. He could test out the different blood samples of the human and see if they matched. There was a feeling deep within his spark telling him that Starscream was responsible for that human escaping. He would have checked the security footage, but anything before the power outage had been destroyed and couldn't be recovered even with the help of Soundwave. Something was up. Megatron knew it and even he knew it.
"Let's see if you're really that girl," he crowed as he pulled out a syringe and got two samples from the body and the vial. He then scanned them for a few moments until the results came in on a panel in his arm.
"How...interesting," he said, smirking when he saw that the blood samples weren't a match. Starscream was indeed aiding that human and if Starscream talking about being in love was true, then he was sure that girl was the one he was talking about. How juicy! He was going to have to report this to Megagtron, but it was certain that he wouldn't take the news well.
"Just pull up a live feed of where he is. That's the best option," he said as he went to one of his screens. He pulled up Megatron's location and soon came face to face with an angry Megatron.
"Lord Megatron, I have...grave news I must tell you about Starscream," he said.
"Has he been found?" Megatron demanded, getting closer to his screen until Knockout could only see his optics. Knockout sighed, bracing himself for the upcoming rage.
"Well, I've been keeping samples of the girl and that body that Starscream brought and I...decided to test the blood to see if they match. They unfortunately do not match, my lord. Starscream brought the wrong person in," he said.
Megatron was quiet, but Knockout could tell he was furious from the way his optics looked in different directions. They were also changing from red to purple, making him look even more cross-eyed and maniacal.
"Shall I go on, my lord?" Knockout asked.
"Go...on," Megatron growled through strained denta. Knockout heard something chipping and let out another sigh. He would have to repair any damage Megatron made to his mouth.
"Well, we both know that Starscream has been talking about being in love with a certain someone and he won't tell us who it is. Well, I think it might be that girl. Starscream must have left us for that human," he said, taking a step back when he saw the fury on the other side of the screen.
"THAT SICK DEVIANT!" Megatron roared, smashing something off-screen which resulted in a pained cry from a grunt. Poor guy.
"Once I get my hands on that disgusting traitor of a Decepticon, I'll make him regret ever leaving! Soundwave! Has Laserbeak made any progress?" He growled, looking off-screen at Soundwave. His optics were all purple now as he let out an angry growl.
"I never expected Starscream to go so low. Falling for a human of all creatures, it makes me sick. I will find him and that pitiful human. I'll crush them both. I...I'll make them suffer until they beg for death," he ranted as he paced back and forth. Knockout was unsure if he wanted to cut off the feed and let him talk. He was starting to feel frightened by just watching him. He made the right choice by not going to him in person.
"Knockout, I want you to make those machines again. Make them even more abominable. Research to your spark's desire. I want to finish off that human and I will make Starscream choose how she will die. He will watch everything and I will make him suffer," Megatron said with a dark laugh. His optics were twitching now. He had absolutely lost it.
"Of course, my lord. I'll get right on my research," Knockout replied while cutting off the feed. He sighed again as he went to type away at a computer. Megatron was starting to scare him a bit, but a little bit of fear was good for a bot at times.
"It's a good thing some humans on this planet are absolutely sick in the head," he said while pulling up the original video that inspired those machines. There were so many similar videos and he couldn't help but imagine what the humans who made this content were like. He could laugh at some, but others felt like too much. Megatron would love the over-the-top ones.
It was a perfectly clear day out. Starscream looked up to the skies and smiled as he thought of taking a short flight around the mountains when things died down with the supposed increase in security in the area.
A soft hum filled the air, distracting him from the sky. He looked down and saw that Terra was hard at work on a rather large and very sweet-smelling flower crown. He had allowed her to make quick measurements of his head before getting to work.
"Is it almost done, Terra?" He asked, craning his neck to get a better look at what she was doing. Terra paused and smiled up at him sweetly before showing him her progress.
"Almost done, love. I just need to make a few adjustments," she chimed.
She was absolutely radiant in the sunlight. Starscream breathed a heart-shaped cloud of steam which he let hang around his head. He felt so lucky to be here right now. Sitting here with his little sparkmate while she made him something precious according to humans. He tried to imagine their life together without the threat of that war looming in the background.
He wanted to believe that it would be perfect, but humans had much shorter lifespans compared to cybertronians and they were more prone to deadly illness. They were also fragile. Too fragile... Starscream frowned as he imagined what would happen when Terra passed.
"Don't think about that now. Focus on the present and make as many wonderful memories as you can with her," a voice that sounded a lot like Terra's whispered to him. It was right, but he couldn't help but worry. How much time did he have left with her? The very thought of being without her made his spark ache.
"Are you alright, Starscream? You look worried," Terra's voice said, snapping him out of those thoughts. He looked over at her and tried to put on a smile.
"I'm...I'm fine, little bird. I think a bug crawled under my plating. It's quite irritating," he lied while quickly shaking his frame.
"Oh, can I help? I think I can get inside some nooks and crannies you might not be able to reach," Terra said while getting to her feet.
"Not this time, Terra. I got this one," Starscream replied while reaching under one of his chest plates and pretending to grab and flick away an imaginary bug. He would have loved to have her check under his plating, but didn't want to make things awkward if she touched a sensitive spot, such as the base of his wings. There would be a time when he would be more comfortable with her touching him.
"Well, your crown's done. Take a look, love," Terra said while presenting the crown to him.
Starscream cocked an eyebrow as he took in the sight of the large flower crown. It was a lovely mess of yellow and Terra had somehow made it in the shape of an actual crown. Much different compared to the ones Terra had made and worn. The patch they were sitting in was nearly bare because so many flowers had to be used for his crown. It still looked much too small for his head, but he was still going to wear it for her.
"It looks lovely, little bird. Care to put it on for me?" He asked while getting in a good sitting position and offering his hand to her. Terra nodded and clambered on, grinning like an idiot as she was raised to eye level with him. Terra stood up and placed the crown on top of his head, making quick adjustments before sitting back down and admiring his work.
"You look amazing, Starscream," she chimed, clasping her hands together.
There was a pond nearby. That would give some kind of reflection.
"I'd like to see for myself," he crowed while sauntering over to the edge of the pond. The water rippled from his footsteps, but when he grew still, he eventually saw his reflection. He liked what he saw, but he couldn't keep his gaze off of Terra who looked like she was brimming with joy.
"It's wonderful, little bird. Absolutely wonderful," he said, bringing her closer so he could nuzzle the side of her face. Terra giggled in response before she fell over on her bottom, her face turning bright red.
"Ah, warn me when you do that next time," she said while brushing some hair away from her face.
"But I like it when you're surprised. You have such a cute reaction," Starscream chuckled while pushing away some hair with a single claw. Terra felt quite warm to the touch at the action. Starscream knew that humans did this when they were either embarrassed or really infatuated. He wanted to see just how red and warm he could make her.
"I...I'm not cute. I'm...tough," Terra murmured as she tried to look away with a slight pout. A smirk formed on his faceplates as he slowly reached out with two claws. He could easily cut into her soft flesh if he wanted, but it was just as easy not to do that. Terra gazed back at him with wide eyes, but she did nothing else. He could tell that he had her full trust at the moment.
"You're adorable, my little bird," he purred while caressing her cheek. He then let his claws slowly drag down to her neck, leaving faint red lines. She was trembling now and her breathing became more ragged. Was this fear or something else? He couldn't tell. Terra's eyes were closed as she leaned into his touch some more. His gaze went further down and he quickly pulled his claws away with a soft sigh. He didn't want to go any further just yet.
"Why'd you...you stop? That...That was...nice," Terra stammered while trying to compose herself. Starscream looked at her in surprise. She actually liked his claws? In the past, most grunts and enemies would flinch if he so much as raised a single digit in their direction. This was quite interesting.
"You like my claws?" He asked, stepping away from the pond to sit by the bare flower patch. Terra looked like she was struggling to say something before she took in a deep breath.
"I...I do. I know you've used them to...to kill and..and torture, but you're just so gentle and...they feel nice," she said while going to sit on his leg. Him being gentle... Such an idea would have made him laugh in the past, but now he didn't mind that too much.
"And that's why you're so cute, my love," he crowed, running a claw through her hair. He felt his spark burst with joy at those last two words, sending a wonderful warmth coursing through his frame. He wanted to stay like this for as long as possible.
"You're cuter," Terra replied after a few moments, looking up at him with a smug look on her face. Starscream raised an eyebrow in response, making her giggle again.
"And how is that, Terra?" He asked.
"Because you have such cute reactions, especially when I kissed you," she chimed, moving to better sit in his lap. Starscream breathed a tiny cloud of steam as he recalled that wonderful little moment. The action had surprised him, but he was sure he would quickly grow used to those things. Her lips felt so soft. Was the rest of her just as soft? He quickly brushed away the thought with a hiss of steam escaping from his mouth.
"Not yet, you idiot! You don't want to overwhelm her!" that voice within growled.
"Well, I'm new to most human traditions. I have much to learn," he said, reaching up to touch his crown. It was soft, but not as soft as Terra.
"So do I...and I have a question," Terra replied.
"Ask away, little bird," Starscream said.
"What word do Cybertronians use to refer to their significant others? We usually go with boyfriends, girlfriends, or just partners," she said. An opportunity to educate her. Perfect.
"Ahh, those are nice, but I believe sparkmate is far superior," Starscream crowed. Terra's eyes grew wide with wonder at the term.
"I love it. It sounds so romantic. Sparkmate. You're my sparkmate," she cooed. His spark glowed brighter upon hearing her say that. Frag, he loved her so much.
"Murderer", a voice hissed, sending a chill running through his frame. Starscream looked up and saw a familiar mangled body standing at the edge of the flower field. He wasn't sure how to react as he stared in horror at it. He knew who this was, but how was this even possible? She was dead. There was no way she could come back from what he did to her.
"Starscream? What's wrong?" Terra asked, looking up at him with worried eyes.
"I...I see something over there," Starscream murmured, pointing to where the girl was standing. Terra looked to where he was pointing and let out a little gasp. Did she see it too? How was he even going to explain this to her?
"Oh! It's a deer. How sweet," Terra whispered excitedly.
Starscream blinked and the girl disappeared. In her place, was a strange creature known as a deer. The creature had been walking by when it noticed the two of them. It froze and stared at them with big black eyes. There was nothing remarkable about it, but from the way Terra reacted to it, it must be quite a sight to humans.
"It's such a...bland thing," Starscream said, trying to forget what he just saw. She wasn't real. She was dead and Terra wouldn't know about her anytime soon.
"Aw, I think she's pretty. I bet she has a baby hiding somewhere," Terra cooed while slowly getting to her feet and standing a safe distance from the creature. The deer still stared at her, stomping its hoof a few times.
Starscream noticed movement out of the corner of his optic and looked around to see that girl again. She was still before she hobbled off into the forest without another word. He would make sure to finish the job if he ever came across her alone.
"You're really pretty, sweetie. Will you let me pet you?" Terra asked the creature. Starscream turned his attention back to Terra who was slowly approaching the creature who continued to stare at her. It looked at Starscream as if trying to figure out what exactly he was. Starscream glared daggers at it and proceeded to flare his wings to scare it off. The deer grunted and immediately ran off into the forest just as Terra was a few feet away from it.
"Aw, she ran off," Terra said, crossing her arms as she watched the deer run off. Starscream held back the urge to chuckle at the sight. That disturbing sight no longer bothered him at the moment.
"Good riddance. That thing might have been infested with all sorts of disgusting parasites. I don't want you getting sick, Terra," he said while lowering himself to be at her level. She looked disappointed at first, but with a soft sigh, she smiled up at him.
"I guess you're right about that. Well, what would you like to do now?" She asked.
It was past midday. Starscream thought for some time until he came up with something that he was sure the both of them would enjoy. He wanted to fly with her, but doing that right now would be too risky with the possibility of them getting caught.
"I have an idea, but we will have to wait until dark. We don't want anyone coming across us during the day," he explained while offering his hand to her.
"What do you have in mind?" Terra asked him while climbing onto his hand.
"Mm, it's a surprise, little bird," he crowed as he gently placed her on his shoulder. He paused a moment to let her get situated before making his way back to her cabin.
"I like surprises," Terra chimed. He thought of what he would do and could only imagine how she would react. It would be absolutely fun for both of them, but he had to be careful.
Later
Terra sat on her balcony, eating some mac and cheese while watching the sun go down in the distance. Starscream had gone back into the caves an hour ago to recharge using the energon hidden within. She was growing all the more excited at what he had planned for the two of them.
What did he have planned that involved them having to be in the dark? Were they going to explore further out into the valley or into the mountains? That might be possible. The nights here were so nice and the sky looked so beautiful with so many stars above.
"I'll find out eventually," she said while standing up and going back inside to clean the dishes. Her thoughts went back to her day spent with Starscream. The first thing that came to mind were his claws and how they felt when he touched her cheek and then her neck. It was so exciting and...kinda arousing. He could easily cut her like butter with those claws, yet he was so gentle with her. Her cheeks grew hot as she imagined what it would be like to feel his claws on the rest of her body...
"God, quit being a pervert," she hissed while fanning herself. The thoughts just wouldn't go away. She wanted to do all sorts of romantic things with him, but did Cybertronians do things differently when it came to that? Did he even have...the right stuff down there? Would he be too alien for her?
"We'll figure something out," she murmured while running cold water in the sink and splashing her face a bit. It would work out when things got hot and heavy in the future. She didn't want to rush things just yet. They haven't even properly kissed yet! That first and then the spicier stuff later.
Terra fixed herself a glass of water and took a big sip before placing it on the counter. As soon as she placed it there, it began to shake, making the water tremble and reminding her of a scene from Jurassic Park. She smiled as she turned to the door and approached it. Starscream had returned.
"You in there, Terra?" His voice called out.
Terra let out a deep sigh, pushing back those thoughts as she opened the door. Starscream was standing around ten feet away from the door, looking absolutely delighted to see her again. His chest glowed brightly upon seeing her open the door. He wasn't wearing his flower crown to her dismay.
"You took your crown off. You looked so regal and handsome wearing it," she pouted, making him chuckle.
"I'm already quite a looker, little bird. The crown only enhances it. It's safe in the cave so you don't have to worry about it," Starscream crowed, looking elated after she called him regal and handsome. It was obvious he didn't receive enough genuine praise or compliments before and she made a mental note to do it more often.
"Sooo, what's this surprise you have for me?" She asked, smiling up at him with excitement.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, little bird," Starscream replied, stepping closer and squatting to get on her level.
"Can I get a hint, please?" She asked, giving him big puppy-dog eyes.
"No," he said, crossing his arms while trying to remain stoic despite the look of adoration in his optics.
"Pretty please, love?" She asked.
A low growl filled the air as Starscream uncrossed his arms and let his wings droop dramatically with an equally dramatic sigh.
"You got me, little bird. I'll give you a tiny hint and that it involves going up the mountain," he said while pointing up to the mountain that loomed over her home. Terra looked up and frowned. She would have loved to explore the mountain, but it was night and trying to hike up a mountain was dangerous.
"It's dangerous to walk up a mountain at night, Starscream," she said, unsure of how they were going to do this. This gained a chuckle from him as he got even closer to her before changing shape so that he was smaller. It still took her by surprise to see him like that. He was still much taller than her at over seven feet tall.
"Who said we were going to walk, my love?" He crowed while pulling her close into a gentle embrace. Terra was taken aback by the sudden action, but she quickly wrapped her arms around his frame as best she could. She didn't quite get what he meant until she noticed how his wings were practically twitching nonstop.
"We're gonna fly up there?" She asked, eyes still wide with wonder.
"Would you rather walk all the way, little bird?" He replied with a smirk on his faceplates. Terra took one more look at the mountain and let out a little giggle.
"I think flying is better, but I...haven't flown in quite a while," she admitted.
"It won't be long and I won't let you fall, Terra. You can trust me," he purred while nuzzling her cheek. Terra closed her eyes and hummed happily in response before she felt her feet being lifted off the ground. She opened her eyes as a growl of an engine coming from behind Starscream filled the air. She looked up at him in panic, but his calm expression reassured her that they would be alright. Starscream turned toward the mountain and took a few steps before taking a big jump. A nearly deafening roar filled the air as he sped up the side of the mountain, still keeping a tight grip on her. Terra pressed her face against his chest and closed her eyes shut.
She was safe, but this was all so new and kind of scary. She didn't dare open her eyes to look down. Doing so would probably make her feel sick to her stomach.
"You're okay, Terra," Starscream's voice said over the roar. She felt how his claws cradled her head so she stayed pressed safely against him. She could hear the sounds his frame made inside as he flew mixed with the hum from his spark. This made her feel much safer, but she still wasn't going to open her eyes until she knew they were safe on the earth.
After what felt like an eternity, Starscream stopped and it sounded like he was on solid ground. Terra didn't realize she was trembling until now.
"You can open your eyes now, little bird," Starscream said while lowering her so her feet touched the ground. Her knees were wobbly, but she kept a hand on him to steady herself while opening her eyes. Her first sight was Starscream smiling down at her with a million twinkling stars overhead before a gust of wind made her turn around.
A gasp escaped her lips when she saw the valley below her. They were so high up, but they weren't at the top of the mountain just yet. She saw the ledge just feet away from her and she backed up until she bumped into Starscream who bent down and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Careful, little bird," he said. There was a sense of nervousness in his tone.
"It...It's amazing," Terra said after getting over her discomfort. Without the trees surrounding her, she could see all the stars above her.
"I knew you'd find it amazing. My little sparkmate always deserves the best sights and experiences from yours truly," Starscream crowed, running his free hand through her hair. Terra was at a loss for words as she took in the sight again. She could see the lights from some buildings at the far end of the valley. Hopefully they didn't hear Starscream when he was flying.
Her gaze soon fell on a lake below and she could see how it perfectly reflected the night sky above. Another cool gust made her shiver which caused Starscream to pull her closer to his warm frame.
"I have another surprise for you, Terra," he purred in her ear, sending lovely tingles rushing down her spine. She turned around to face him, eager to see what he had in store.
"What is it?" She asked, mentally preparing herself for what was to come next. He picked her up in his arms, holding her close to his frame so that she could look up at him. His brightly glowing spark warmed her in the night air. Terra had no idea what his intentions were, but she was going to find out any second.
"You just have to trust me," he said while stepping closer to the edge of the ledge. Terra glanced back at the ledge and then back at him with a worried look. He had a firm grip on her before. There was no way he was going to drop her now.
"O-Okay," she stammered, taking a deep breath as he got closer and closer.
Starscream turned around when he was just at the edge so that she couldn't look over. Terra was about to question what he was about to do before he fell back over the ledge with a chuckle. She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out as she gazed at him and held on tight to him for dear life.
"Trust me," he said in a whisper that was quickly drowned out by the wind whistling around them. She wasn't sure how fast they were falling, but time seemed to slow down as she gazed into his optics. His smile grew larger as he changed shape so that he was larger and held her close with one hand over her body. He reached out to her with his other hand and caressed her cheek with a single claw, making her heart flutter in her chest and warming her from the inside out while a rush of sensations flooded her senses.
"Brace yourself, Terra," he said as a hiss filled the air.
Terra was about to question what he meant by that before he transformed around her. A surprised cry escaped her lips and she closed her eyes in fright. It only lasted a few seconds and she found herself strapped into his cockpit. An oxygen mask dropped down and she quickly placed it on her mouth. She noticed the quickly approaching earth beneath her and felt her stomach lurch as Starscream flew up into the night sky when he got too close. The initial shock and terror quickly turned into glee as he flew up into the clouds above the mountain.
"What do you think? Quite an exciting surprise, yes?" Starscream's voice said from the control panel.
"God, yes. It's amazing up here," she said.
She was so close to the stars now. A few tears of joy rolled down her cheeks when she saw how big the moon looked now. How did she get so lucky?
She realized just how fast her heart was beating and tried to take a few calming breaths.
"Where shall we fly to now, little bird?" Starscream asked.
Terra was unsure of where they could go. Could they be tracked like this? She wasn't sure, but wanted to be safe just in case.
"I...I don't know. Can...Can we go back down? I miss seeing your face already," she admitted, blushing as she remembered the rush as she looked into his optics while they fell. She was overcome with so many thoughts that rushed over her like a waterfall. She wanted more than anything to kiss him right now. She didn't care if he didn't have lips. She was going to take her chance and make it work.
"Of course, my love," Starscream replied while flying down toward the valley below. Terra closed her eyes when she saw how quickly the earth was approaching. Flying was nice, but falling was overwhelming.
Starscream slowed down some until he stopped completely. Terra slowly opened her eyes again and saw that Starscream was hovering over the bare flower patch they were sitting in earlier. She smiled in relief as the top of the cockpit opened up for her. She carefully clambered out and ended up falling onto the patch below with a grunt. She got to her feet as Starscream transformed and knelt before her with a proud look on his faceplates.
"Did you enjoy yourself, Terra?" He asked while reaching out to brush some stray hair away from her face. She probably looked like a wreck after being blown all over from the wind, but she didn't mind. If it meant having his claws on her, then she was fine.
"I loved flying with you, Starscream. It's a shame I can't see your face while we're flying together. I think...I prefer it when you...hold me," she said, feeling her cheeks grow hot from blushing.
"Then I'll hold you when we fly together, Terra. I like holding you too. I like the closeness," Starscream purred while changing shape to be smaller again.
Terra smiled shyly and stepped closer to hug him, wrapping her arms around him the best she could without getting poked by the sharper parts of his frame. She felt his arms around her, pulling her closer with a pleasant sigh. The pleasant hum from within his frame put her at ease.
"Thank you so much for everything, Starscream. I know I've said it many times before, but I'll probably keep doing it," she said with a little giggle.
"I wanted to thank you as well, Terra. I didn't think I would ever be in a place like this, but here we are. I'm beyond glad I saved you and now I can stay by your side until the end of times," Starscream replied, breathing a few heart-shaped clouds of steam. He smirked and blew them at her, letting them hang around her head to her delight. This was the perfect moment! She couldn't let it fly past her.
"Starscream? Can I...Can I ask you something?" She asked. Her body was shaking from excitement.
"Ask away, little bird," Starscream replied.
"Can...I...kiss you?" She asked, her voice shaky. Would he say no? That would be devastating. Starscream grew silent as he gazed at her tenderly despite the confusion in his optics. He must have been thinking long and hard about wanting to kiss a human. A sinking feeling grew in her chest before he smirked and pulled her ever so closer.
"Take the lead, my love. Teach me all about this human custom," he said, breathing even more steam. Terra swore she saw a faint blue glow on his cheeks. He was blushing like she was right now.
With a nod, she pulled him closer by the neck while standing on her tiptoes. Starscream chuckled softly and picked her up gently in response.
"I think this will be easier," he crowed.
"It is," Terra said with a giggle while wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him closer into a kiss. He let out a surprised grunt when she pressed her lips against his mouth, but he soon let out a sigh as he kissed her back as best he could. Terra closed her eyes as she took in the strange sensation of kissing him. He tasted like the many times she licked pennies, but there was something else she couldn't quite put her finger on, but she liked the taste. Very different compared to kissing a human.
Something long and tendril-like pressed itself against her teeth, exploring her mouth. Terra opened her eyes in surprise at the new sensation. Was that...his tongue? Terra slowly pulled away from the kiss and gazed at him in wonder. Starscream's optics were closed, but he slowly opened them to smile back at her.
"How did I do, little bird? You're quite red-faced so I must have done something right," he said while caressing her cheek.
"You were...good...But...you never told me you...had a tongue," Terra stammered while leaning into his touch with a sigh. Starscream chuckled and opened his mouth, letting a long silver tendril hang out. Terra looked at it with reddening cheeks as she imagined all sorts of filthy things.
"Oh no. That's hot," that voice purred. Terra tried to brush away the dirty thoughts. Not yet.
"We call it a glossa, little bird. We usually use it to consume energon, but I won't let you see the rest of it just yet," Starscream explained after letting his glossa roll back into his mouth. Terra wanted to question further, but she just wanted to kiss him some more at the moment. There would be time to explore later.
"You must have enjoyed that quite a bit. I haven't seen you so red before," he crowed.
"I...I did. Can...Can we do it again? I...I can teach you some more," Terra murmured, feeling her heart flutter.
"As you wish, little bird. I want to know everything," Starscream purred while pulling her close.
