lFixation AndDesire

Chapter 4. Comfort

The night was cold. Granted, The temperature aboard the nemesis was always more frigid then Knock Out liked. Megatron always insisted that the war ship be kept as cool as possible. Something about the troops being more alert the colder it was. However, on this night in particular, The air was icy enough to send shivers down the spinal struts of anyone. Probably even Lord Megatron, himself.

Knock Out lay on the berth within the tiny room he had been confining Starscream to for the past week and a half. He cuddled closer to his special one, the one whom he would do anything for. he huddled closer to him for warmth, leaning into his slender frame, Absentmindedly stroking his faceplates with his index digit as he watched him sleep. knock Out was contented. Everything was going according to his plans. As far as everyone else on the nemesis new, Starscream was no more. The air commander having died during open spark surgery. But in truth, here he was. Confined to a medical room, restrained and sprawled out before him, the safest he had ever been in his life. All Starscream had was Knock Out, and Knock Out would be all Starscream would ever need.

Knock Out could feel recharge start to call to him. He powered down his optics, And was just about to slip into a deep, blissful, sleep alongside his lover, when all of a sudden, an audible whimper was heard, making the medic snap to attention. knock Out looked over at Starscream, only to hear yet another whimper come from him. The seekers arms and legs were flailing about, or at least, they would be if not for them having been restrained. Still, Knock Out could tell, that Starscream was in distress. "He appears to be having a nightmare, by the looks of it", knock Out thought. yet another whimper from Starscream, this time, a word, a name. "M-Megatron", The commander gasped. Knock Out's optics burned brightly, with pure rage.

"Megatron! Of course, it's always Megatron! If he isn't harming my star in the real world, he's plaguing his nightmares! I swear to Primus, Megatron! I will have your head, on a SilverPlatter, if it's the last thing I do!" "starscream", knock Out began, attempting to bring the seeker back into the waking world. "starscream, come on, wake up, my darling." Starscream's optics slowly came online. "Kn-Knock Out?","that's it, star. It's just me" , knock Out whispered. "knock Out, it was terrible! Megatron, he, he had me pinned up against the wall, holding me by the throat, and he, he was going to, too."," Shhh, it's all right now, everything's all right. He can't hurt you anymore. You're safe now, with me, in my arms. Your safe, and nothing in this world will ever harm you again, my silver star."

Starscream was already crying, however, he began to cry harder. This time, for a completely different reason. No one had ever, in his entire existence. Loved him so much, dedicated so much time, Energy, and effort to him. no one had ever treated him so tenderly, so gently, with the utmost care. As if he could break any second if not handled delicately. Starscream was truly beginning to understand, just how lucky he was. Mechs like Knock Out were an extreme rarity. Especially, in the middle of a war. Knock Out truly was, a diamond in the rough.

"there, their, my darling silver star. Just let it out, let it all out", The medic soothed, wrapping his arms tighter around Starscream.

After about 10 more minutes of crying his optics out. The air commander finally stopped crying, and went slack against Knock Out's frame. "oh, my dear darling Starscream. You look so tired now. Perhaps we should get you back to recharge." Starscream went stiff. "N-No, I can't go back to recharge now! Megatron will be there, and he will.","starscream, I want to make one thing clear to you. Megatron will never harm you again, in anyway, so long as I am still alive. As long as my spark is pulsing true, I will always be here to protect you.","but I can't sleep, Knock Out. I just, can't. I, I won't I.","Shhhhh, I know just what to do, don't worry."

In one swift motion, Knock Out hit a button above the berth that Starscream hadn't noticed before. This button instantly released all of Starscream's restraints, at once. Before Starscream had the chance to even react. Knock Out was hoisting the silver seeker up into his lap. Slowly, Knock Out began to rock Starscream's shivering frame, Back-and-forth, back-and-forth. Then, to Starscream's surprise, Knock Out began to sing.

No one could count, the hours I've spent with you. Watching over you, fawning over you. I have seen the way, he treats you every day. I promise you, my silver star, he will be taken very far. I promise you, as you lay here. Bent, and broken, and barely alive. When I get my hands on him, the one who hurt you will not survive. I promise you, I'll care for you. I promise you, I'll always love you.

My silver star. My perfect love. You are a precious gift from above. Now I only ask you, will you please rest for me? My precious starry, can't you see? The way that he has hurt you, the way that he has hated you, Makes me so furious. I am sure that you are curious. As to how I'll bring his end. I promise you, I shall defend. You are the one I love. The one in whom I placed my trust. You have confided in me, and now I'll confide in you. How much I love you.

All this time, I will spend. Caring for you till the very end. I promise you, my perfect star. The one who oppressed you Will be sent far. The one who oppressed you will be sent far. Oh how I wish, for you to always stay like this. Safe in this room with me. Safe from the one who hurts you. Oh, my perfect star. How we have come so far. Together in our time. We have made sure our lives, have always crossed that perfect path. So I will tell you now. The one who hurt you, the one I love, Will face my wrath. Will face my wrath. I'll care for you. I'll comfort you. I'll love you, and never let you go. And now I only want for you, to feel the way I feel. To be safe, and loved, and living peacefully., In this world. My perfect star, Precious in every way. I promise you today. I will take the revenge we have always desired. For which you have tired.

My precious star, do you feel are me touching your wings? Feel all the precious little things, As you close your eyes. when you awake again, the one who kept hurting you, will be at his end. I'll bring him down, for you.

As Knock Out finished the song, he looked down adoringly into the face of the now sleeping Starscream. " good night, my precious Silver star. I will take care of you, always.."
