Shadow
That night, we were finally able to settle down. Lockdown curled up on our berth with his head in my lap, while I caressed his face, nice and gently. It was almost like how I used to do to his back when I was human. It was Lockdown who broke the silence and with a most random comment.
"Prowl called me gay".
I laughed a little. "Are you serious?".
"At least I think he was calling me gay. I don't know. He said I sounded gay, but…".
"Look, can you not worry about that. Prowl knows you're not gay. He was probably teasing you".
"Yeah, probably so. Anyway, have I told you that your touch feels really nice tonight?".
"No, but you just did. I can't wait another month, Lockdown. I wanna hold them now" I sighed.
"Hey, you can win this. You can make it. Just keep believing, and everything will be fine".
"Funny, usually I'm assuring you".
"We can be reversed".
"Yeah, but I'd rather not".
Lockdown got up and I knew it was my turn to lean against him.
"I know it's hard, Shadow, but you can make it".
I loved how our spark jolted when I touched him there. It was kinda amusing, and I was making him feel powerful.
"Sing our song for me" I pleaded, "Please? I'm gonna need some help getting to recharge tonight".
"Certainly" he answered, "As I sit here, and slowly close my eyes, I take another deep breath and feel the wind pass through my body. I'm the one in your soul, reflecting in the light. Protect the ones who hold you. Cradling your inner child. I need serenity, in a place where I can hide. I need serenity. Nothing changes, days go by. Where do we go when we just don't know when? How do we re-light the flame when it's gone? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control?".
We chose Serenity by Godsmack as our song so we could feel inner peace with ourselves and with each other. It was a huge relief to me. I dimmed my optics as Lockdown continued his song.
"Tragic visions, slowly slow my life. Tore away everything, cheating me out of my time. I'm the one who loves you, no matter wrong or right. And everyday I hold you, I hold you with my inner child. I need serenity, in a place where I can hide. I need serenity. Nothing changes, days go by. Where do we go when we just don't know when? How do we re-light the flame when it's gone? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control?".
I let myself be drifted away by his voice and I found serenity…As well as my place to hide to obtain it. All I had to do was listen to him and it was right there.
"Where do we go when we just don't know when? How do we re-light the flame when it's gone? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control?".
He wasn't done, but he stopped when I was in recharge.
A/N: I do not own the song Serenity. That purely belongs to Godsmack. But I love that song. Thanks for your reviews everyone. Hopefully I'll get back around to Starscream and Alexis.
