Starscream's POV

Chapter 14: Secrets Never Stay Secret For Long

I still couldn't believe that it was true. Whitesilence, that dear, sweet little femme, loved me. She had surprised me when she kissed me shortly after we got back from the battle. I was feeling bad for leaving her behind after I almost killed my little brother who had turned his back on me. When I saw her at my door I thought she was going to chew me out for leaving her. Instead she wanted to know if I was alright. I felt horrible and snapped at her. She had pushed past me and sat on my bed, glaring up at me in defiance. I had yelled at her but she had calmly stood up and gave me a hug. It was a little surprising at first but then I hugged her back. Then she told me that friends care for each other and I replied that I was a lucky mech and then she had looked up at me, stood up on her toes and kissed me.

When she realized what she had done she had freaked out and apologized. I told her to hold still this time and I kissed her. We had stayed in my room for Primus knows how long just kissing each other before she had to get back to her room before Megatron figured out that she was missing and went psycho on us.

Well needless to say we arranged to meet up later. I mean come on! Like I was about to let her just slip away after that! So she met me at one of the storage rooms and Redscream guarded the door for us.

'We had better hope that Megatron or one of the other Decepticons don't find us.'

I smiled down at her as she leant her head against my chest. "Redscream will alert us before any of the Decepticon come too close for comfort." I stated.

She smiled up at me, her gorgeous icy blue optics shimmering like two stars. She pushed herself against me a little more so she was sitting on my lap rather than just leaning on me. Her optics dimmed a little as she reached her hands behind my head and pulled it closer to her. I smiled as she placed her mouth against mine. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me. I heard a strangled screech and we bounded apart as the door opened.

"What are you two doing in here?" Thundercracker asked. He started staring at Whitesilence's chest and I felt my energon start to boil.

"We were looking for something." I stated coldly. "What about you?"

"I wanted to know why the Scrapmetal was walking back and forth in front of this place." He replied, his optics not leaving Whitesilence.

'Well now you know why. Now would you close your mouth and stop staring at my chest?'

Thundercracker blinked before an evil grin crossed his face. "Why should I? There is no one here to stop me. Megatron isn't here to say that you're off limits so I can just take you here and now if I wanted." He stated.

I stepped in front of her and blocked her from his view. "You will do no such thing." I stated coldly.

Thundercracker blinked in confusion. Then a sudden look of understanding crossed his face and he grinned cruelly. "Oh I get it. You don't want me muscling in on your turf." He stated.

I had to fight to stop myself from letting a horrified look creep onto my face.

"I wonder how Megatron will take to the fact that you are spark bonding with his kid?" Thundercracker laughed.

"I am not spark bonding with her!" I snarled.

"Oh face it. You want to. You want to feel her up. You want to…." Thundercracker started to say before Whitesilence lost it and had him pinned against the storage room wall.

'If you go and spout lies about Starscream and me I will kill you without hesitation.'

Thundercracker whimpered a little as he stared into her icy optics. He nodded his head and she released him. He scrambled quickly to his feet and left the storage room at a run. She smiled as she turned back towards me. I smiled back as I walked past her and closed the door to the room.

I turned towards her and grinned. "Now where were we?" I asked.

She walked over to me and stood up on tiptoe. She placed her lips against mine just as the door flew open.

'Slag!'

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Megatron demanded.

She backed away quickly and I shuffled away from Megatron out of striking range. His optics were full of anger and he looked ready to kill. I gulped as his optics burned into me. He moved forward flexing his fingers and I knew that he was going to throttle me. Whitesilence moved in front of him and pushed against his chest.

'Dad just stop!'

He ignored her and continued towards me. I backed up, praying that I could find a gap to slip past him and out the door. He pushed Whitesilence out of his way and grabbed me by the throat before I had a chance to bolt.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" He demanded.

"It's nothing sir. It was only a thank you for saving her from Jetfire yesterday!" I choked out.

"Oh really?" He hissed. "It looked a lot more serious to me."

'Dad! Stop! This doesn't concern you!'

"EXCUSE ME?!" He roared as he spun on his daughter.

'This doesn't concern you! I'm old enough to make decisions for myself. If I give Starscream a kiss for rescuing my aft from Jetfire than that's my business not yours!'

I blinked at her in confusion. She never spoke like that to Megatron before. And I mean never. She looked determined and stood her ground as Megatron approached.

He dropped me and grabbed her instead. Right by the top of her chest plate. It took everything not to lunge at him for touching her like that. He lifted her off her feet so her face was an inch from his. She grabbed his arm out of instinct as fear crept into her optics. I never felt so useless in my life.

"You are my daughter Whitesilence. I will decide on what is my business where you are concerned." He growled.

Her optics filled with fear as she continued to stare into his face. She struggled trying to get loose but he tightened his hold on her.

"Megatron stop!" I yelled as I scrambled back to my feet.

"You stay out of this Starscream." He hissed at me.

'Starscream please. Don't get into this.'

I looked at her. She looked so scared that I wanted to help her badly. She shook her head and mouthed "don't". I gave her a pleading look as I watched her dangling from Megatron's grasp. Megatron looked from one of us to the other. Than he surprised us both when he smiled and set her down gently on the ground.

"Why didn't you just tell me that you loved each other?" He asked as he crossed his arms.

My mouth fell open as I looked at him. Whitesilence looked just as confused. She tilted her head as a frown crossed her face.

'How did you know that?'

Megatron chuckled. "Why else would Starscream be so willing to help you?" He asked.

I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment. "So you approve of us?" I asked.

"You're better than Thundercracker or any other Decepticon in the base." He replied.

I grinned at Whitesilence as she smiled at her father. She threw her arms around his neck and a twinkling of bells in my mind told me she was laughing. Megatron chuckled as he rubbed her head. He gave me look.

"You had better treat her right Starscream. If you don't I will personally dismantle you for scrap." He stated coldly.

I blinked. "I would never do anything to hurt her." I stated.

He nodded as he left the room. I looked at Whitesilence and exhaled loudly. She let air out through her vents and smiled nervously.

'Well that was interesting.'

Author's note: There. Rather interesting way for Megatron to find out about them eh? Starscream just about had a spark attack. Review please.
