Megatron watched in horror as his secret lover was shot various times. The seeker stood where he was, gasping in pain. Energon leaked to the ground from his damaged frame, dripping steadily into the dirt. Skywarp and Thundercracker stopped fighting with the twins to stare at their brother. Starscream looked up, meeting Megatron's gaze before he collapsed.
"Starscream!"
Megatron was the first one to be at the injured prince's side. He cradled him to his body. He shook as energon smeared on his front. The whole battlefield went silent as both sides watched Skywarp and Thundercracker run to their brother's side.
"Where's Hook?" Megatron demanded. The medic came up to his leader. He knelt down and looked at the injured seeker. "Hook, fix him now. He needs medical attention."
"I can't here. I have to get him back to base," said Hook. He doesn't look good."
"Decepticons retreat!" Megatron shouted, standing with his SIC in his arms. The mech glared at his enemy. "This isn't over yet Prime. If he died, then nothing will stand my wrath."
The warlord took off, heading away from the battle. Optimus opened up the bond to his brother, feeling the fear, worry, and love over the prince. The semi looked at his men, his own worry showing well.

"Hang in there Starscream," Megatron muttered, holding his servo to his face.
Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up, I refuse!
"Sir, I need you to wait outside until-"
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
"NO! I'm not leaving his side," Megatron refused. He noticed Starscream trying to speak. He lowered his helm to listen.
"I... lo-ack... love you," Starscream faintly whispered, coughing hard. "Goodbye."
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
Megatron felt his spark stop as the sound of a flatline reached his audios. His world fell apart at that very moment. Hook told his brothers to get Megatron out of there as he worked to save his comrade. The silver warlord felt numb and didn't register that he was now outside of the medibay.
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Rage suddenly filled the tyrant. He left the base with only one thought in mind; kill Prime and whoever was responsible.
Break their hold
'Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
~~~000
"Sir, Megatron is requesting your presence," Prowl said.
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
"What would he want?" Optimus wondered, heading outside, only to get struck in the face.
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
"He's dead Prime! Your men killed him!" Megatron shouted, keeping back his tears. He threw a weak punch, which Optimus easily dodged. "I never told him that I loved him. Do you know what he said to me?!"
"Megatron stop. You're going to hurt yourself," Optimus tried to reason
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
"He said that he loved me then goodbye!" Megatron ranted, fighting clumsily and with no effort. Tears streamed down his face as he stopped. "I've lost my reason for living and achieving peace."
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Optimus approached the crying mech and held him. Megatron allowed it, his grief becoming too much. Both knelt down, the warlord crying into his enemy's chest.
Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back
"He's dead and I wish to join him," Megatron whimpered.
"You're not going to die. I won't allow it," Optimus whispered. He heard his men come outside, but ignored them. "Starscream wouldn't like that. I know that he would want you to continue to fight for peace."
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
No, we're not gonna die tonight
"If I die, then you'll win. You can go back to your Primely ways and caste system," Megatron muttered. "It's how it always is. I wouldn't of suffered if things went my way."
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight
"I'm not like the other Primes. I want the same as you. I promise to change the way things were before the war. I promise," Optimus vowed. Megatron just cried harder. "It will be all right brother. I promise you that I will do everything I can to help ease your pain."
The Decepticons had come to help their leader by then. Nobody fought or even glared in hatred at the other. The Decepticons parted a bit, letting Hook and someone else through.
"Megatron?"
Said warlord turned to address whoever spoke. To his surprise, it was his medic. Right next to Hook was Starscream, healed and alive. Megatron stumbled towards him, grasping the seeker and kissing him. Starscream returned the kiss. It was a true miracle from Vector Sigma himself.
~~~000
Megatron woke up in the medibay. He was confused at first. Was it all a dream? It must have been.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Hook asked from his spot by the berth.
"I-I don't remember. What happened?" Megatron asked.
"After Starscream flatlined, you went to the Autobots and attacked them. Soundwave followed you and brought you back. You've been in deep stasis for almost three weeks," Hook explained.
"Three weeks?" Megatron asked, uncertain.
"Yes three weeks. Everyone's been worried," said Hook. "Soundwave, Thundercracker, and Skywarp have visited you and Starscream."
"Starscream? He's alive?"
"Yes sir, he is. He's in a coma."
Megatron looked around the medibay until he spotted the seeker on life support. He got up shakily and stumbled to the Prince's side. His black servo gently stroked the soft grey faceplate. His tears hit the red chestplate.
"Oh Starscream, I'm so sorry. I promised myself I would protect you from danger," Megatron muttered. "This is my fault. If only I had been paying more attention to where you were at. It should of been me in your place."
~~~weeks later
Megatron sat by Starscream's side, not once leaving it. The seeker Prince didn't need the life support anymore. Hook had announced that Starscream may never wake up, leaving Megatron very distraught. The medic suggested that Starscream be let go and put to rest, but Megatron refused. He still believed that Starscream would wake up.
"Please wake up Starscream," Megatron begged, lightly kissing him. "Please come back. I... I... I love you."
Megatron rested his forehelm against the berth next to Starscream's chest. He was slowly losing hope of ever being with the flier. Starscream onlined his optics and stared at his leader. He didn't say a thing, wanting to surprise him. He waited a few minutes before deciding to speak.
"I love you Megatron," Starscream whispered.
The scientist smirked when Megatron's helm shot up in surprise. Both smiled, tears coming to Megatron's optics. The grey mech kissed his lover briefly.
"Starscream," Megatron breathed, skiing him once more. "You're awake."
"I heard everything you said each day. I tried so hard to wake up," Starscream explained. "They were going to attack you. I couldn't allow that, and got in the way. I love you too much to let you die."
"I promise that I am never letting you go. I can't lose you," Megatron vowed. "I am ending this war. I can't risk losing you."
~~~000
"Are you sure Megatron?" Optimus asked. His men shifted behind him.
"Yes. I almost lost someone that I love deeply. I do not wish to lose him," Megatron said, Starscream at his side.
"All right. I agree to let you help me make our world a better one," Optimus nodded.
Megatron grinned and pulled Starscream closer. He got to one knee and looked up at the seeker. Both sides gasped in shock.
"Starscream, I have loved you ever since I first saw you when I was a slave. Prince of Vos, will you become my sparkmate?" Megatron proposed.
"Megatron... I do accept," Starscream gasped, tears coming to him.
Megatron got up and kissed Starscream. Cheers and clapping came from every bot. It truly was a good day for everyone.
