Chapter eight
Orion stood outside his father's balcony. He took a deep breath and walked out. Quintus was reading a data pad and sipping hot energon. It was the cold season now, which meant all of Cybertron's holidays came out.
"Um dad can I ask you something." Quintus looked up and pulled up a nearby chair. Quintus nodded. Orion sat down and placed his hands in lap. He cleared his throat. Quintus looked up and set his things down
"What is it son?" he asked gently. Orion looked away and blushed.
"Well I like this femme and I don't how to tell her or act around her, and I was hoping you could help me with this." Orion said. Quintus smiled.
"Of course son I'll tell you everything you need to know." He scooted closer to Orion and rested his arms on his knees.
"First try to be friends with her and get to know her better so it insist so awkward between the two of you." Orion nodded slowly processing the information. A cold sharp breeze whipped through the air. Orion and Quintus both shivered.
"Let's continued this inside." He said patting him on the shoulders. Orion followed his father all the way to the top of the palace into a room Orion had never been to before.
"What is this place?" Orion asked closing the door behind him. It was dark and shallow. Only a single window in the room along with two clear French doors. Quintus clapped his servos together and two holo chairs and a couch appeared. The floated aimlessly around the room until Quintus sat in one of them. It became a solid once the big heavy bot sat down. Orion was amazed he had never seem something like this before.
"This is the room me and your mother come to talk, also where I proposed to her." He answered quietly. It was so dark who would confess their love to someone in a room like this.
"But it's so dark." He said grabbing a holo chair. Quintus smirked and pressed a couple dozen buttons, and the room immediately lit up. The walls became a beautiful scarlet red with ancient Cybertronian writing swirling around after it. Silk curtains fell from the beam above the Clear doors. Orion watched in amazement. He touched the curtains and they stopped floating around. He looked out the doors and realized that there was no balcony. What kind of room with doors leading outside doesn't have a balcony?
The beeping of two more buttons and a gorgeous balcony appeared with two chairs and a table. Glasses of energon sat on opposite ends of the small table.
"Is that better for ya?" Quintus asked sitting. Orion nodded dumbly.
"Now you can tell me about this femme that's been on your mind."
Orion blushed. "Well I don't know how I should begin."
"just tell me about her in general and then move on to what you like about her memories you've made, just something son."
Orion sat back in the chair and closed his optics thinking about Arcee. A smile crept on his face and then his cheeks flushed a bright red.
"Well she's pretty, no Beautiful yeah beautiful. She is extremely smart, kind and gracious. Always wearing a smile no matter what's going on." He chuckled. "She`s perfect dad just everything about her is perfect, her mind her thoughts, I just-." He paused and looked at his dad. Quintus had the stupidest smile on. He looked like he was glowing and about to explode with happiness.
He got up and hugged Orion laughing. "Son I think you found the one, the one you'll spend the rest of your life with." He set him down. Orion blushed
"And here's the other thing every time I'm near her my spark glows and makes a light buzzing noise."
"PROOF, yes proof Orion she's the one, when your spark does that it's usually when you found your spark mate, but it commonly happens when you're older." He stopped and ran out the room and yelled for his older brother Vector. He came back with a scanner of some type and scanned Orion.
"Well this is rare never before have I seen a young mech find his spark mate this early in his life, you truly have a special son Quintus Primus and Primsa have truly blessed you." He kissed Orion helm and left.
They later left and walked back to their hall. Both Orion and Quintus could barely contain their excitement. This truly was amazing and a day to remember. Aqua was sitting on the couch reading. She yawned and laid back wrapping herself in blankets. Quintus smiled and picked her up laying in her spot with her on top. She giggled and snuggled her spark mate.
Orion smiled and went to his room. He closed the doors and jumped on his bed. He wiggled around squealing and giggling. His mind and spark raced with raw emotion. He wanted to kiss her tell her and be with her. But he didn't know if she felt the same way. He died down thinking about that thought. He sighed and rolled off his bed. And sat on the floor.
"UGH why is life so difficult and strange." He crossed his arms and pouted. Magnus burst through the door.
"Hey Orion you got a phone call from an Arcee I think."
"Arcee why would she be calling me?" Magnus shrugged and handed his the phone.
O: "Hello?"
A: "Hey Orion sorry for such a surprise but I was wondering if you wanted to come to the library with me and hang out for a little while."
O: "Yeah sure that'd be great, what time should I be there?"
A: "Meet me there in thirty minutes."
O: "Okay see you then."
Arcee hung up the phone. Orion sighed happily. He grabbed his stuff and ran into the living room. His dad and mom were still cuddled. Quintus was half asleep.
"Hey dad I'm going to be at the library with Arcee I'll call you when to come and get me." He whispered. Quintus nodded before closing his optics. Orion ran down the stairs. Skipping steps and flew out the front door. He shivered it was a lot colder than the last time he was outside. He whisked down the side walk and made a bee line for the library. It was a long run, but it was worth it if he was going to see Arcee.
He got to the library and found no one there. Completely empty. Odd there at least some bots here during the day. Orion set his tuff down on a table and walked around. Arcee seemed to not be here either. He was hoping it wasn't a prank Ironhide and Prowl weren't playing on him.
"In a perfect world, one we've never known, we would never need to face the world alone." Orion had never heard such a beautiful voice, and he had a good idea of whose it might be. The singing grew slightly louder as he moved towards it.
"They can have their world. We'll create our own. I may not be brave or strong or smart, But somewhere in my secret heart, I know love will find a way, anywhere I go I'm home, if you are there beside me."
Orion almost melted into a puddle, that voice was so mesmerizing and beyond beautiful. He looked around the corner of a book shelf and saw exactly who he wanted to see. Arcee. She sat reading a data pad. She was singing softly but only loud enough for Orion to here. She got up and continued to sing walking up on a ladder finding something else to read
"Like dark turning into day, somehow we'll come through. Now that I've found you, Love will find a way."
she glided down the bookshelves gleaming as she continued to sing. Arcee stopped and put a servo over spark chamber and whispered
"If only he felt the same way." She climbed down and walked back to her little table. Orion decided he was going to act like he just came in. he walked backwards but unfortunately tripped and fell forward. Arcee jumped and saw Orion
"Orion h-how l-l-long have you been there?" she stuttered. He got up and brushed himself off.
"Long enough I guess." Arcee blushed and looked away rubbing her arm awkwardly.
"Now since you're here I found this book about the 12 primes and I thought we could look at it with each other." she pulled out a chair and sat down patting the one next to her. He sat down and tapped the book and 12 different screens flew from the book. Each with a different Prime.
"Hmm let's look at Nexus he looks interesting." She tapped the screen and his file came up along with his spark mate and four sons. She read the file and gasped. She was clearly interested with Orion's uncle. He smiled. He didn't need to read the file he already knew everything about his uncles and aunts. For about forty five minutes she spend looking at all the Primes files.
He put his arm around her chair. She jumped and looked at him but smiled and continued to read.
"Oh look at this Solus announced the greatest forgery that Cybertron has ever seen, oh and Vector made Cybertrons top scientist right alongside Orion the great." She stopped and looked at Orion dead in the optics.
"Is this where you got your name from the great scientist Orion the great?" she asked. Orion nodded.
"My dad was a so fascinated with him that he thought I should take on the honor of carrying his name, he was also a great friend of my uncle Vector." She smiled from auto receptor to auto receptor.
"Your family is so interesting I could read and study about them my whole life."
"You study my family?"
"Of course everybody on Cybertron studies you watches you, I mean you're our protectors, your my protector."
"I'm your protector he asked?" He asked happily
"Uh I mean Cybertrons protectors, heh I mean yeah." She looked away embarrassed. She was blushing hard. Orion took his arm away and smiled. Damn she was just too darn cute. Orion wished he could just tell her now, but he didn't want to ruin his chances with her. He'll just have to wait for the right moment.
Arcee cleared her throat and got up carrying her book. She put it on the shelf and headed for the door. She stopped and motioned for Orion to follow. He got up and followed his crush out the door. They walked a little ways before stopping at a small café.
"What are we doing here?" he asked
"Getting some hot energon, it's really cold outside so I thought we could stop somewhere." Arcee ordered two cups of hot energon and handed one to Orion. They walked down the street and found a small table not too far from the café. The two sat down and sipped their energon slowly and talked about the little things.
"My dad has always wanted to see me become one of the greats but I don't know if that really me." Orion said leaning back.
"I think you would go far in life if you became on the great, I mean you're growing up in a family full of them." Orion chuckled. The sons began to set and the cold started to creep in.
"Shall I walk you home?" he asked getting up.
"Oh there's no need for that I can find my way back."
Orion smiled and held her hand lightly and helped her put of the chair. "But it would be pleasure to walk you home."
Arcee blushed and agreed.
Orion and Arcee walked slowly taking in the sights of Cyber City. I was the most beautiful at night. All the shops and restaurant lights came on and light the black sky up. The stars decided they were going to make a special showing. Arcee looked up and smiled at the billions of stars.
Arcee stopped when they reached her house. She walked up the steps and held the door handle. She gripped it tight before turning around and giving Orion a peck on the cheek
"Goodnight Orion." She whispered. She disappeared into her dark house leaving Orion star struck.
Orion brought a servo up to his cheek.
"Goodnight Arcee."
