Chapter 8
Megatron sighed sadly as he left his personal quarters and headed for the control room. "Just when I was starting to enjoy myself." He muttered.
"Me too." Starscream agreed as he walked beside him.
Megatron reached over and caressed his cheek. The Seeker purred softly as he leant into his fingers, earning a soft smile from Megatron. Starscream looked up at him and took a step closer, nuzzling his face into the crook of Megatron's neck. They both stopped and stood there, gently nuzzling each other as a sudden panic gripped them. Neither wanted to lose the other to the Autobots and they wanted to show they loved the other, just in case the other never came back.
Megatron rested his forehead against Starscream's and sighed. "Let's get this over with." He murmured as he kissed Starscream's forehead.
Starscream nodded before they turned and walked into the Command Center. Lugnut stood cowering by the controls as Megatron's gaze turned to an icy fury; the screen behind him was silent. There was no Autobot movement, not even a tiny blip on the monitor from them moving an inch away from there base; Lugnut had lied to him.
"Lugnut, explain yourself." He snarled as he strode towards him, his body giving off excess heat in his anger. Starscream followed right behind him.
"F-f-forgive me, my Lord." Lugnut squeaked. "I just felt that being alone with that traitor was…." He tried to add before Megatron fired at him.
"You will keep your filthy servos out of my personal life, is that completely understood?" He snarled.
Lugnut nodded several times. "Of course Lord Megatron." He yipped.
"If you interrupt me one more time because you think I am incapable of looking after myself, I swear to Primus, I will end your miserable existence!" He snarled.
"You're such a hypocrite." Starscream sneered. "You go around preaching about how those who oppose Megatron should be slain, and yet you just lied to him. You just lied to Megatron. And why? Is it jealousy, Lugnut? Are you jealous of me? Jealous that I have what you always wanted?" The seeker looked away. "And you have the nerve to call me a traitor."
Megatron gently nudged Starscream. "Don't push your luck, Starscream." He murmured. He turned towards Lugnut. He growled. "Lugnut," he started to say when Lugnut cut him off.
"He is a traitor!" He hollered. "How can you possibly trust him? He attempted to kill you on several occasions! How can you trust someone who has done that to you?" He demanded, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Megatron hissed. "That is none of your concern." He snarled before he turned around and gently pushed Starscream out of the room. "Now, leave me be." He growled over his shoulder at the purple Decepticon.
"I am not a traitor!" Starscream cried.
"I know." Megatron whispered softly to his spark mate. "Just let him be. He isn't worth your fury."
Starscream sighed and went limp against Megatron's chest. Megatron pushed Starscream a little farther down the hallway before scooping him up into his arms. "Can I kill him?" Starscream asked with a smile.
"If Lugnut has to be killed, I'm going to take the care of it." Megatron replied as he opened the door to his room with his foot, since his hands were full. "But you can take the final shot." He added with a smile as he nuzzled Starscream's neck."
"Thanks." The Seeker laughed.
Megatron smiled as he entered his quarters for the second time that day and walked over to his recharge bed. He sat down and cradled Starscream to his chest. "You deserve to show that fragger some manners. I wouldn't let you return to the army if I believed you were a traitor." He stated softly. "By willingly bonding with me you proved that you show me no ill-will." He added softly as he kissed his mate.
Starscream snuggled closer to Megatron's body. "And giving you the shard." He murmured as he kissed Megatron in return.
Megatron nodded sadly. "Yes." He replied as he stroked his mate's chest plate. "And now it has returned to you. Funny how fate works sometimes." He added with a forced laugh. He hated that his mate, his lover, was alive because of a shard from the Allspark. What a horrible way to exist, entirely dependent on one little shard of power.
"Pretty sad, huh?" Starscream sighed.
Megatron nuzzled his mate. "You're alive; that's all I care about. When the time comes to rejoin the Allspark shards, I swear upon my spark that I will revive you properly." He whispered.
"Thank you." Starscream replied.
Megatron smiled as he stroked Starscream's helm. "It's the least I can do." He stated softly.
Starscream stared up at him before lifting himself up and kissing Megatron. The giant mech pulled him close and returned the kiss, intensifying the moment as each began shift slightly as they tried to reach the other better. Starscream pulled away, reluctantly, and sighed softly.
"When will reinforcements arrive?" Starscream asked.
"I'm not sure. Soon hopefully; I need all the help I can get. Aren't your wing mates out there somewhere? What are their names, Thundercracker and Skywarp?" He asked.
"Yes. I hope they are safe." Starscream stated.
"You were very close during the war. Are you...brothers?" He asked, a slight pang of jealousy rising up at the thought of how close the Seekers were during the war.
"No, we just look alike." Starscream replied.
"Ah...I see." He replied. He stroked the Seeker's helm. He brought him closer to his chest as he sighed softly. "Frag, I miss feeling your spark whirling nearby and on the other end of our bond." He muttered as he kissed the Seeker's helm.
Starscream sighed and looked away. "I feel like I'm empty inside."
Megatron smiled sadly. "I shouldn't have provoked the Autobots to attack us." He murmured as he pulled Starscream even closer to him. "I'm sorry." He added as he kissed the Seeker's black helm.
"It was fun while it lasted." Starscream replied.
Megatron sighed softly as he lay down on his recharge bed and pulled his mate close to his chest. "It's just...strange. I think we are the first bond mates in history to have one mate living without a spark." He stated without humor.
"I think I'm the first mech EVER to have this happen." Starscream corrected.
Megatron chuckled sadly. "True." He agreed. "I don't think anyone has had to live on the power of the Allspark." Starscream shrugged. He stroked Starscream's helm. "I'm so sorry." He murmured.
"Ah, don't be. We can make the best of this, can't we?" Starscream asked as he reached up and stroked Megatron's cheek.
Megatron smiled weakly at Starscream. "I suppose." He murmured as he nuzzled Starscream's neck.
"See? It won't be so bad." The Seeker mused.
Megatron's smile strengthened. "If you are happy," he murmured, "then I am happy." Starscream smiled up at him. "So," Megatron asked as he stroked Starscream's wings, "what do you want to do? Flying is out of the question for the rest of the day."
Starscream laughed as he shuddered happily. "Not sure."
Megatron chuckled. He leant in and kissed the Seeker. "Aren't you helpful?" He laughed.
"Oh, like you're any better off." He sneered.
Megatron purred as he ran his hands over Starscream's wings, placed his mate on the bed, and lifted himself up to hover slightly over his mate. "I can think of a few things that I want to do." He whispered as he nuzzled the smaller mech's neck.
"Humor me." Starscream purred.
Megatron let out a low growl as he pulled Starscream's body even closer to him and pulled him into a very passionate kiss. "Three guesses." He purred in between the kiss.
Starscream wrapped his arms around Megatron and returned the kiss with an equal amount of passion. Megatron purred hungrily as he deepened the kiss, running his hands along Starscream's wings before sliding them down to his hips. Starscream pulled out of the kiss and let out a happy moan as tipped his head back. Megatron's optics flashed as he set to work pleasuring his mate.
