My Little Boy
Story Seven
Perfect
"I just can't believe her…!" Thrash In managed to speak through a sob. "She didn't want me the first time, and now she waltzes in here, all smiles, telling me she wants a relationship with me…"
Cliffjumper placed an arm around her shoulders, letting Thrash In's frame lean against him as he continued to let her sob.
"What did I do to make her hate me, Cliff?" she blubbered. "Why, what did I do…?"
Airachnid made a sudden visit to Earth and found the location of Thrash In and everybody else. The visit wasn't exactly well perceived. Everyone thought Arcee would be less happy about the surprise drop in, but it seemed Thrash In was taking it harder than anyone else.
She could never show her tears out front openly in front of everyone. Though, through the privacy of the walls of her room, with no one in sight, she did. And Cliffjumper was there to see it. He knew she was going to cry after everything played out today. He knew what she was going to exactly feel the moment Airachnid was on their doorstep.
Cliffjumper's mother, Arcee was awkward about him being friends with Thrash In, since she was Airachnid's daughter. Before arguments could get any more heated up, he reminded his mother that she was also the daughter of Uncle Breakdown, and she wasn't like her mother at all. He knew the history of both of their mothers. Arcee told him to the point of him knowing the story word for word. Besides his mother's obvious hurt, Cliffjumper knew she didn't want to lose him and wanted to keep him safe from harm. Even though his mother warned him for more than enough life times, he still wanted to get to know Thrash In. And here they were, close as ever.
Thrash In was strong. She was quiet. She never broke face. Now she was showing herself at her most vulnerable. Cliffjumper was the only one to see it, and nobody else would know.
At this point in the relationship, it was hard not to show his true feelings for Thrash In, but she was hurt. It could have been Grace, Asuna, Izzy… even Zane. He had to be there for her, even if she was the only femme of his species around him.
"Look at me," began Cliffjumper, a soft smile coming onto his face plate. "I don't have a dad. At least you know both of your parents are still alive."
Light chuckles left the both of them, Thrash In letting out a sniffle. She leaned against his frame, feeling sparks from her touch. He placed his arm gently around her, rocking her back and forth.
Dealing with whom her mother was, having no mother figure around her, Arcee hating Thrash In without getting to know her at all… She didn't have to deal with all that. She had enough battles to deal with on her plate as is. She didn't have to deal with more crap.
She was perfect. He wanted her to be happy, to be free. He wanted her to smile, come out of the shadows. She taught him so much, how could she be cast further into the darkness? She didn't deserve that.
Don't change… he mused, placing his forehead on top of hers. Don't ever feel worthless. You're so perfect to me. So, so… perfect.
When he realized he placed a kiss on her forehead, he opened his eyes in fear he was going to fly through the wall, when he learned she was fast asleep against him.
Note*~
I had this little Cliffjumper-Thrash In hurt/comfort vent story a long time ago, but then I put it back on the shelf to collect more dust, and then I listened to Glee's rendition of 'Perfect' by P!nk. And then I thought… PERFECT. Heh…
Isador "Izzy" is Raf's son. Heh… Fanbabies. 8)
I wanted to make this a tad longer, but I'm so frozen from the cold, babahyyyyyyy it's cold outsideeeeee ;; ;A;
