Blue-winged Fantasy
As soon as Soundwave stepped in to the control room, he sensed Megatron's unusual good mood. It was probably because of the finished plans. The Communications Officer moved across the room to his leader.
"Lord Megatron." He said simply.
The Decepticon leader turned around in his chair, smiling.
"Ah, Soundwave. I was just thinking about you. I have a task for Laserbeak. Eject him." Megatron ordered. Soundwave pressed the button on his shoulder and his tape deck opened. Laserbeak flew out and began to circle around the Decepticon leader, screeching.
Megatron extended his arm welcomingly and Laserbeak sat on it.
"We will attack an oil field in Middle East tomorrow and make a diversion attack on a power plant in Europe. Laserbeak, you need to stay and find out if our diversion succeeds. I want you to spy on the Autobots. And keep contact with Soundwave."
Laserbeak screeched and took off. Megatron turned to look at his Communications Officer.
"Soundwave. Take a look at my plans and tell me what you think. I need an expert's opinion."
Soundwave leaned over Megatron's shoulder and read the file before him. However, it was hard for him to concentrate when he sensed Megatron's mind waves so close and strong. He decided to read his leader's mind first. Then he could concentrate on his task better.
Megatron's mind was always a little more secured than the other Decepticons, Soundwave had to put real effort in his work if he wanted to get through. Eventually, he always did, like this time. But he was shocked about what he found.
Megatron had been with Starscream? Last night? How was it possible that Soundwave hadn't noticed anything?
Then suddenly he remembered the feeling he had woken up to in the middle of the night. Now he knew why he had woken up, and it had nothing to do with Blitzwing and his stupid dreams. Megatron had abandoned him. His spark had immediately felt it.
Abandoned.
Betrayed.
Pushed aside.
Alone.
"Soundwave? Did you read it?" Soundwave was brought back to reality by Megatron's voice. He hesitated a while.
"A... Affirmative. Plans: Workable." Megatron laughed.
"Workable? Relax and stop hiding, there's no one else here but us."
No one else but us... Usually that meant only one thing: They would get intimate. But now Soundwave knew it had another meaning. He needed to speak normally, stop hiding behind his odd speak pattern.
"I believe the plan will be a success." Soundwave said with his monotone. He was for once grateful for the face mask. Megatron would not see his pain.
"Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear." Megatron said, a wide smile on his face. Soundwave stepped back.
'Say the words I want to hear...' He send this wish to his leader mentally. Megatron winced a little and tilted his head to the side, as if trying to hear something.
'Say the words I want to hear, all over again... Forget the traitor... Take me again...'
No reaction this time.
'Take me back...' Soundwave kept sending his thoughts to Megatron, now amplifying the power. 'Come here, come, come, come...' Soundwave's hopes got up as Megatron stood up. Almost immediately he awaited for the silver mech to pull him into his embrace, but...
Megatron walked pass him, to the door.
From there, the silver mech glanced back at his liutenant.
"I want to think in private. You are in command until I return." By these words, Megatron exited the room.
Soundwave stared at the door that closed after him. He felt the same uncomfortable twist in his spark again, stronger this time. He recalled the day he first met his beloved. Megatron had seduced him, blinded him from how he wanted to use him. And Soundwave knew it. He knew it from the beginning.
That didn't stop him from falling in love.
He returned to the present.
Megatron's mind was too strong to be controlled. He had no weaknessess. But Starscream had. Hellscream. A plan started to form upon Soundwave's mind. If he could amplify Hellscream's mental waves, Starscream's alter ego could take over the Seeker's mind. Completely and permanently. Then he would attack Megatron again. Maybe this time Megatron would execute him.
And if not this time, then maybe the next. Eventually, the Seeker would die. And Soundwave would get Megatron back.
Now why hadn't he thought of that earlier? This would've never happened.
Soundwave left the control room and headed for his own quarters. He needed to write his plans down on a note pad.
The note pad about his observation on Starscream.

Skywarp stared at Thundercracker's back. The blue jet was on his computer, writing down gossips and other blackmailing material. Reflector had e-mailed him some pictures of smashed Constructicons. They had had a private party last night at their quarters and had a little too much energon. Except Hook, of course. Apparently, their private party hadn't been as private as they had thought.
Skywarp swallowed hard.
'I need to tell him now.'
"Thu-Thundercracker..?" He questioned carefully. The blue Seeker turned around in his chair. "Yes, 'Warp? You wanna see these pictures? They're slagging funny!" Skywarp looked at his feet. "Uhm, no thank you. I... I need to ask you something, do you have a second?"
Thundercracker nodded. "Sure. What is it?"
Skywarp stepped closer to the blue jet. 'Now, don't ruin this, 'Warp.' He gave instructions to himself.
"Thunder', have you ever... Felt like there's something missing... In your life?" Thundercracker frowned at his friend's question. Courageously, Skywarp went on. "Like there's something more you need to feel happy, to feel complete?"
Skywarp gathered all his courage.
"Because I do. I feel it everyday. Especially... Especially when I look at you." Here Skywarp blushed. Thundercracker's face betrayed nothing. Skywarp swallowed. Had he ruined it? But he knew he couldn't back down, not now when he had already gone so far. He walked to the blue jet and stopped right in front of him.
"TC... I think... No, I'm sure of it..." He stuttered nervously. "Thundercracker, I love you. I have always loved you." There. He said it.
Thundercracker glared at the black and purple Seeker for a moment. Again, his face betrayed nothing. Then he suddenly stood up and took Skywarp's hands in his. He smiled and Skywarp felt like the ground was grumbling beneath him.
"Skywarp, you have been my best friend ever since the Academy. You were my best friend then and you are my best friend now. But, it seems, you always saw us clearer than me. We were never meant to be only friends. I have always known it. I guess I was just scared..."
Thundercracker made a small serious pause. But then he smiled again.
"I love you too, 'Warp."
Skywarp had a hard time registering the blue jet's words. Had he heard wrong?
His doubts faded away fast as Thundercracker leaned closer to him. Skywarp's spark began to spin in it's casing. He reduced the distance between them in a second and pressed his lips eagerly on Thundercracker's. He got a passionate response from the blue jet and they both got lost in the moment.
Together, they fell on Thundercracker's berth.
