Lockdown
I was kinda surprised when Shadow told me about her thoughts of Starscream and Alexis. I mean, I was never really a big Starscream fan, for reasons I've mentioned before, but rather not mention again, but I was kinda glad he was recuperating from the cruelty he had faced. Like I said, I'd never wish the fate I received at the hands of Masters on anyone else. Even if it was someone I despised more than anyone.
"You know, they kinda remind me of us?" Shadow curled up to me on the berth, putting her head on my chest plate.
"How?" I asked, stroking her cheek gently with my fingers.
"I mean, think about it. She's human and she likes Starscream. She feels bad for him because he was abused, like I was with you. He feels bad for her because she lost her best friend who was almost exactly like him. You felt bad for me because I lost my parents. You think there's a connection?".
I shrugged. "I don't know, babe. But I get a strange feeling that Idunne's magic is again at work here".
"Yeah, maybe so. But doesn't it remind you of us?".
"Yeah, it does. You know, I think that if we ever forget why we fell in love, I think we should take a look at Starscream and Alexis".
I had faith in them, believe it or not. I wasn't sure if the two had feelings for each other, but if they did, I believed it could work. I felt it in my spark. Or was it Shadow's? After all, we shared sparks. And if I knew Shadow at all, she also believed in them. I wasn't sure what to think, so I figured I'd talk to Starscream tomorrow morning about it. All the while, Shadow fell asleep leaning against me.
I couldn't sleep though, I was too busy thinking.
You think too much. As always, Chamaeleon was there to guide me. Weird, I thought, to be guided by your own son before he's even sparked.
"I know, but I just can't help but wonder about them" I responded, gazing at his chamber.
I wish I was like Camelio. He can see the future. You need to relax, papa. You worry too much about the world. Just know that everything's gonna be okay. Just believe it and it will be.
"Perhaps, don't worry Chamaeleon. I'll be okay".
You always say that, but I know you never are.
"Trust me on this. I'll try not to worry so much anymore, okay?".
Mama senses your worry too, you know. And since she's closest to us, we feel it too. That's how I know you're always stressed. Just sleep now, Papa. We'll be okay.
Then like that, I just fell into recharge. I guess sparklings had that effect on their parents.
A/N: Eventually, I'll get around to getting the boys fully developed so I can start another fic for these guys. I think I'm gonna make the next chapter Prow/Aimee based. What do you think of that, huh? See ya next chapter!
