5 – Urges

He didn't want to open his eyes. He was too comfortable.

There were soft sounds around him, and warmth. And weight. He smiled slightly as he heard Jetfire breath deeply into his neck, having not moved from the night before. His wings twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes despite his comfort.

Starscream blinked a few times, and shifted in the bed, stretching his limbs. He ruffled his hair a bit, noting it was knotty. He had to admit; maybe the sleeping part of being human wasn't so bad. He grinned, and slowly sat up, brushing off Jetfire's arm and wing to sit up. He flexed his body again, wings stretching to their fullest extent. Yawning, he heard a groan next to him and turned around, wings folding in again, and saw Jetfire open his eyes too. Strangely, they were deep gold like his optics were, while his own eyes had darkened to a light copper colour. It was strange to him.

"Mmm …." Jetfire murmured, sitting up and flexing as well, his wings expanding and contracting.

Starscream fought off a sudden urge to straddle him as he did. He shook it off; now was not the time to admire wings!

Jetfire ruffled his own red hair, and Starscream noted for the first time that his bangs stuck up in the air a bit by default. It obviously reflected his previous optic guard from his helm. It looked kind of cool as well.

With a yawn, Jetfire looked at Starscream as well, still sleepy and with a lazy grin. "Mornin' gorgeous."

Starscream flushed, feeling the heat fully on his face. "Y … You didn't have to say that!"

Jetfire chuckled. "You still look cute when you blush, even when you're human."

The other growled and lowered his head. Some of the things that the shuttle said sometimes really made him want to hit the cocky idiot.

"My, my … complimentary this morning are we Jetfire?"

Starscream growled again as Astro jumped up to meet them. She was fully dressed already and there was another mat of food prepared for them to eat. Jetfire smirked.

"I feel like making Starscream blush – OW!!" Starscream tossed a pillow at his head in irritation.

"Jerk." The former shuttle sniffed.

"Baby." The ex-con smirked.

The girl sighed. "I will never understand how you two came to be friends, or a couple for that matter."

Jetfire laughed nervously and put a hand behind his head. Astro was reminded suddenly of Goku from Dragonball Z, and she chuckled. The look on Starscream's face gave her an instant impression of Vegeta.

She clasped her hands together. "Alright, we start the day with some food. Breakfast it is called. After you have eaten, it would be good for you to both take a shower. It's a lot like when you clean as transformers, though you have to take all of your clothes off."

Both men looked at each other and then at her, and nodded.

"So … humans don't wear clothes when they shower?" Starscream said. "What do they do when they come out? Walk around naked?"

Astro chuckled. "No, no, they dry themselves with a towel and then get dressed again. It's just to clean the skin and really wake you up."

"Hmph." The sullen man folded his arms and ruffled his wings.

While Astro did some washing of dishes, the two boys ate. Starscream nibbled on some toast while Jetfire gorged on a croissant. They were still in their PJ's. Starscream wearing blood red silk while Jetfire had silver on. It seemed they liked to stick to their former colours as much as possible, and as it was winter, they were long sleeved and the bottoms were pants. Starscream didn't mind eating as much as yesterday, as this food seemed well mannered and stayed on his plate. When he had ate two slices and drunk a glass of apple juice, he leaned back on his hands. Jetfire had already finished and was standing, stretching again. Astro came over and observed.

"Well Jetfire, since you're finished first you can take a shower now." She said. He nodded and went over to the bathroom, entering and then closing the door. As he looked around, he noted the towels, and then looked over at the taps. It was preset to a certain temperature so he didn't have to bother with mixing the water. He took his clothes off and left them on the floor, and took a moment to examine his body. To human standards, he would be very muscular, medium-heavy in build and broad shouldered. His wings had feathers almost going all the way down, though there was a part at the joint that was just flesh. He thought it was all interesting, and very different to the usual metal he was used to seeing. He ran a hand down his arm and noted the fine white hair on it. It felt funny, but not bad. There was also a little on his chest, but a fine layer of it. He wondered why humans took this hair off sometimes. It was soft and warming to the body …

The ex-shuttle shrugged, and entered the shower. He turned the tap on a little hard and yelped, before turning it down a bit. He then sighed and grinned.

Starscream sat and listened to the running water. How long was this going to continue for? Being human, to him, was confusing, cold and all around weird. The seeker was feeling too annoyed to think of the bright side at the moment. All he could think about was how much he was going to kill the person responsible for this. He smirked; at least the thought of ripping off someone else's head had a slight cheerful air to it.

Astro came over eventually, and sat by the seeker. She didn't say anything for a moment, before looking up at him. "Starscream?"

"Mm?" He looked down, jolted from his thoughts.

"Are … you coping okay with this for now?" She said.

Starscream scowled, but then sighed. He knew her well enough by now to know that she always meddled in things. Also that she only wanted to help. It angered him that he had to rely on her somewhat at the moment, but instead of answering with a sarcastic barb, he merely shrugged.

"Could be worse." He muttered.

"Aah …" She smiled. "Try to focus on flying if you're feeling gloomy. I heard that always cheers a flier up."

"Where did you hear that?" He inquired.

"Jetfire mentioned it in passing." She shrugged herself. "Besides, I'm sure Red Alert will find a way to transform you back."

"He better." His voice was a growl.

"Just be patient."

"Patience has never been my forte."

Astro snickered. "Well now is as good a time to practise on it, hmm?"

Starscream grit his teeth, and looked up at her, then down.

"I'll tell you what," She said, getting out a brush. "I'm sure I know a way to cheer you up."

"Oh really?" He smirked coldly. "And just what could that be?"

"I'll brush your wings." She said, and made to move beside one.

"I can brush my own wings!" He snarled.

"I know, but it's nicer if someone else does it." She said pointedly. As he growled again, she ran the brush though one part, and the growl was cut short, ending in a shiver. In truth, he had no idea how to brush anything except his armour. He sat back, still tense, and refused to co-operate.

"Come on …" She coaxed. "Just relax."

He grumbled, but did as she said and spread a wing for her. She continued to brush the feathers, making them smooth and free from any bits of dirt that may have got in there. Starscream actually had to admit it felt nice to be gently prattled over. After he had adjusted to the girl's presence, she thought it was nonsense that he had never really had a relationship. When he asked why, she said he was quite nice looking for a 'big alien robot'. Jetfire had also said he was very good looking too.

He was not used to good people complimenting him at all. Of course, his old mentor Thundercracker had smirked at him and said that he would be a mech killer, but Starscream had thought he meant in his skills. Now that he looked back on it, he realised that TC had not meant his abilities, but his looks. It was the closest thing anyone had really said about him.

Then again, while he thought Astro was just being nice, Jetfire was another thing entirely. When Starscream had asked the Autobot about it, he said he had never seen a seeker with red colouring as the main theme. It made him very handsome, and unique. Starscream really didn't think so, but he had grinned anyway.

But now that he was human …

He had only seen his chest briefly when he took his clothes off once. He hadn't had the time to really look over his form yet, and while Astro continued to brush his wings, he turned his head slightly.

"Hey Astro?"

"Mm?" She said, stopping the brushing for a moment before going back to finish the stroke.

"Do I look … strong … for a human I mean?"

"Hmm …" She thought about it. "Well, I'd have to inspect you with your shirt off before I can really judge. But I'd say you're lightly built, more athletic style than a body builder."

"Is that a good thing?" He faced her.

"Well it depends on what you like." She looked at him for a moment before continuing. "A lot of men want to be huge and muscly, but not all do. Some like to be leaner looking but still retain the strength of a body builder. Generally, the larger ones have more strength, but it really does differ greatly from person to person."

"Hmm …" He thought about it, turning back around. Astro continued on.

"You're more of a lean figure than a body builder, but you could be just as strong."

The seeker sighed, and leant back. He spread out his other wing for the girl and unconsciously started to relax. There was a silence apart from the coming noise and the running water, which eventually stopped. Starscream didn't take much notice as he lazily closed his eyes, feeling snug for the first time since he had been turned human and was awake.

The shower door opened, and Jetfire stepped out, a towel around his shoulders and nothing but a pair of boxer shorts on. "Okay, I'm done!"

Astro got up and looked over. "Okay the- HOLY!!---"

She took another look at him and gasped. "H-holy shit Jetfire! You're huge!"

He looked curious and looked down at himself. He was pale skinned indeed, but rock hard muscles on his chest, arms and legs were obvious for the world to see. His wings and hair were still wet and darker looking from it, but it was clear he was one strong man.

Starscream also stood up, took one look at Jetfire and froze. He felt a heat rise up to his face, and he didn't realise it but he was blushing. To him, Jetfire looked strangely … sexy.

It was then he felt a strange urge, not unlike what he felt as a transformer, but different. This urge made him want to be closer to the other man, touch him … he didn't know what it was.

He also felt a heat between his legs, and then he flushed deeper. He had no idea what this … stiffening sensation was, but he felt strange. A little fearful, he then coughed loudly.

"Uh, guess it's my turn." It was then the black haired man practically ran into the showers, passing a startled Jetfire and shutting the door tight. Once inside he looked down between his legs, and nearly yelled out in shock.

What the hell!? It moves on its own!!! His mind screamed as he looked at the larger bulge that wasn't there before. He panted as he felt himself calm down slightly, and he stripped his clothes off. What he needed right now was a shower, and so, he hopped in and turned it on full blast. The force washed any of those thoughts from his head.

After a while, Starscream got out of the shower in the same manor that Jetfire did. Like Astro predicted, he was leaner and lighter built than Jetfire, and the ex-shuttle looked over, and shamelessly wolf whistled at him. Starscream flushed deeply at this.

"HEY!"

"What? Just stating the truth." He smirked.

"What does that MEAN anyway?" Starscream snarled, wet wings ruffled.

"It means he thinks you're sexy." Astro giggled.

That made Starscream promptly turn a darker shade. He then tossed his towel on the ground in a temper and went to get dressed.

Jetfire smirked, and went back to putting his shirt on. His wings popped out of the holes and he grinned lightly.

That day was rather uneventful. Jetfire had found himself interested in computer games, so he spent most of the day on the computer with Astro, playing Half Life and other such games. It was fun to him, and the sounds of their shouting abuses at the other characters and commands seemed to make Starscream distance himself more. The ex seeker had found himself drawing a lot, something that he found he had a natural skill for. As he sketched a man, he unconsciously turned it into a picture of Jetfire. He saw this when he had finished, looked over at the two humans and sighed. Turning back to the picture, he had the desire to screw it into a ball and toss it away.

That night, after they had dinner made up of Chinese foods, Astro decided to go home for the night. She said as long as they didn't try anything stupid they would be fine. Starscream grunted and said he could take care of himself.

As it was, Jetfire was now watching a movie on their large bed. It was playing on his computer and the lights were out. This made the room very dark indeed, the only source of light being the computer. The movie playing was Shrek, and Jetfire found it awesome. As he was lying on his stomach, he wondered were Starscream was. He knew the ex-seeker had gone to do something, but he had no idea what.

Then he felt a weight on the bed, and turned his head. Starscream was on all fours, his chest bare and only wearing boxer shorts. Jetfire wondered why he was clad in so little when it was so cold, and turned over onto his back, sitting up and leaning on his elbows.

"Starscream…?" He murmured out.

The other slowly silently crawled up to him, a somewhat sad and cautious expression on his face. Jetfire watched him as the smaller man closed their distance, putting a curled hand on his chest and pushing him back on the bed gently, now above him. Jetfire lay there, partly confused and partly knowing, deep in the back of his mind, what was going on. As he looked up, he noticed that Starscream looked like an angel … his wings were lightly extended out and his face held the same sadness of one.

"Jetfire …" He murmured out, tone husky with emotion.

"Yes?" The other whispered back, surprised at his tone.

Starscream leant down, and Jetfire felt the heat of his body brush him lightly. Something about this situation made the sounds of the movie fade into the background, and he felt the change of atmosphere in the room.

Starscream's eyes softened. "How … how can you stand me? I …" He turned his head away. "I don't understand why I feel like this … it's not right …" He closed his eyes.

"What isn't right?" Jetfire asked, and reached up with a hand to entangle his fingers in the feathers of one wing.

Starscream trembled lightly, and opened his mouth to speak, but found the words simply would not form. "This …" he chocked. "Everything …" His hand curled up on his chest. "It's a sin …"

"What do you mean?" Jetfire wanted to move, to hold him, but something about this situation kept him frozen. His wings were curled up around his body, and his other arm was on the bed. One of his legs was slightly bent up and the other straight.

Starscream shook his head, then opened his eyes and leant down further. His nose was barely an inch away from Jetfire's. "Autobot … and Decepticon … you and I …we're not supposed to like each other …"

Jetfire's eyes then saddened in hurt, but he reached up with his other hand and cupped Starscream's face. The feeling was softer than he was used to, but it felt nice as well. And he smiled gently.

"No one ever said it was wrong." He whispered out. "It's happened before … as long as we care for each other, then nothing will break us apart."

"But-" Starscream's voice was cut short as Jetfire placed a finger over his lips to silence him.

"Hush." He said huskily. "Now is not the time to get upset over this …"

Starscream then realised that something else was left over from his time as a transformer. It was unusual, but not unnatural. He leaned down to Jetfire's ear and let out a soft rumbling purr. Jetfire started, and then smiled, stroking his neck now with a thumb. The ex-seeker then leaned down slowly, listening to the heightened breathing of himself and Jetfire, looking at him in the low blue light. His body was only a whisper away from the other's, and knees spread over his hips. He looked deep into those gold eyes, the warmth they held … the comfort … Starscream put a hand on Jetfire's cheek, brushing the soft skin with his thumb as Jetfire had done to him, still purring very gently. Jetfire's lips were parted slightly, and Starscream felt the warm breath on his face.

"I'm not upset …" He barely whispered out.

He then closed his eyes and kissed the other, lips merging. Jetfire then closed his eyes as well, pushing back against the other and wrapping his arms around Starscream's back and torso. The smaller man moved slowly, deepening the kiss as he explored this new feeling. The softness of lips mostly, and he pressed his chest on Jetfire's own, now lying on the other.

They kissed for a long time, bodies merged to them, both enjoying the feeling of heightened emotions … Jetfire's arms around Starscream's back, legs tangled together, wings brushing against the other's. Neither wanted to move … to face the real world at the moment. All they wanted was to stay like that …

But time passed, like all things do, and slowly they broke apart. Jetfire slowly opened his eyes, breathing out a shaky breath, looking up at Starscream's own glazed copper eyes. Jetfire realised that he had his PJ's on while Starscream practically had nothing to cover his body. Silently, he reached in between their chests (Starscream lifting his body up) and unbuttoned his shirt, exposing himself, not taking his eyes off Starscream's. Once done, he got his arms out of the sleeves and put the shirt aside, taking in a breath. The ex-seeker smiled.

"What about your pants?" He murmured out, brushing a hand along the broad chest. He found that Jetfire indeed had a fine layer of hair on it, and brushed his hand against the grain, causing Jetfire to let out a small chuckle.

"That tickles …" He said gently, hand working on getting his pants off. He managed to kick them off eventually, to which Starscream grinned evilly.

"Mmm …" He laid his head against Jetfire's chest, cuddling up to him, listening to the heart beat. He sighed gently, his breath making Jetfire look down at him. "What?"

"Your heart is beating faster …" He closed his eyes. "Do I have that much of an effect on you?" He looked up, purring louder now, and moved up again and over him.

"Yes …" Jetfire admitted, running a hand along Starscream's own chest, and finding the soft touch of hair their too, surprisingly in the same shape as his cockpit was. Starscream let out a louder purr for a moment as Jetfire touched him, and then looked back down.

"You're bigger than me …" He said, leaning down and taking a lick at his chest. Jetfire laughed as his tongue tickled him, and smirked. "I've always been bigger than you …"

The smaller human paused in mid lick and crawled up a bit, leaning down and sucking his earlobe, hand on shoulder. Jetfire hissed and actually giggled as Starscream did it. It seemed he was highly ticklish from not being used to human touch. Smirking, he wondered if Starscream was the same, and leaned over, stopping Starscream and sucking on the other's neck, licking up it. The ex-seeker arched his back and moaned, feeling the 'wetness' of the others tongue tantalise the nerves. Purring, he sucked on the other's neck as well, causing Jetfire to gasp and grin. He then had a thought and grinned evilly, and suddenly gripped Starscream by the shoulders, and rolling over so that he was now on top. The other gasped in surprise and then growled, looking up at the red head.

"Hey!" He pushed automatically at his bare chest with one hand.

"Come on calm down …" Jetfire grinned, and leaned down so their bodies were pushed together again. Starscream flushed as he did and Jetfire leant over to his ear, whispering, "You know, as much as I would like to screw you rotten right now, I don't think we know how."

Starscream froze. It was true. He had no idea how humans did 'it' at all. He actually pouted as Jetfire leaned back up to face him.

"But, I enjoyed that …" He grinned. The ex-seeker smirked. "You better have."
