Chapter 6: Just One Kiss
The next thing I knew, I was seeing Stargazer chase Drift. I looked to Melody and Yorketron, giving them a look of confusion. "What did I miss this time?" I ask, watching them even more. "Oh, nothing Chromia, its nothing." Melody said as I cocked one of my optics. Nothing my aft. "Star, did Drift call you fat? Cause I think that body paint makes ya look younger!" I yell, holding in a laugh. "Oh wow, that came out the wrong way." I say, starting to laugh before Star rushed past me before Drift and I collided. "What the Primus-" I said before I was on the ground quickly. I suddenly blushed, gulping. "W-Whoa! Personal space, personal space!" I said, pushing him off, still blushing. He and me.. We just.. Primus, did we just almost kiss? Oh no, me and him, never. I brushed myself off quickly. "Chromia, are you blushing?" Melody asked me as I quickly shook my helm. "No, no, no, a thousand times no! I ain't blushing at all! Ya can't prove it either!" I said in denial as Stargazer came back. "Chromia, is it me, or-" Before she could finish, I almost yelled. "I said I ain't blushing, you hear me clearly! I. DO. NOT BLUSH!" I officially said. Yep, they knew I was in total denial and wouldn't prove myself to it. "Alright, we heard you the first time!" The girls said as I sighed, feeling good in the clear, but my thoughts began to speak for me otherwise. Oh no, not this again. Minor note, I always had a conscious that spoke to me, unlike other bots and femmes.
"So, do you think he is the one?" My conscious asked me.
I shook my helm slowly. "Nah, he couldn't possibly be." I said to it quietly.
"Come on Chromia, you were just blushing. Can you not say your in a state of complete denial."
"No, I am not in denial!" I said to it, raising my voice a bit.
"Please! Don't give me lies." It said to me. It was starting to tick me off.
"I am not lying, now will you shut up?!" I said a little louder.
"There you go, more in denial. You love Drift! You just love him!" It said, dying down finally.
"I said I don't love him, now will you shut up!" I yelled, seeing everyone stare at me before the girls spoke up again. "Conscious speaking again?" They asked as I slowly nodded my helm. I slowly coughed. Geez, this was SO awkward. This was the weirdest night of my whole lifetime online. Man, if I don't see it soon, it might be too late. Its just.. I maybe do love Drift. I just don't know it. I then gave Yorketron a small stare. "Um.. My conscious likes to talk to me and encourage me to do.. Things I'm not proud of." I said, looking around randomly. "So whenever you caused trouble, your conscious persuaded you to do those things?" He asked me as I nodded. "Yep, you got it right..." I said slowly, looking down, fidgeting my fingers a bit. "Hey, not my fault I was born with a talking conscious.." I say, then turned away from everyone. Ok, enough with that! This night has gotten officially more weirder! Damn, why me? As before, I kept asking myself that every single time! "Hey Chromia, mind if we talk in private for a moment?" Drift asked me curiously as I slowly looked back, nodding. As then left to go outside as I was a bit worried. Was it about what had happened not so long ago? Maybe it was, I have no clue.
We were outside in the Gardens again as I sighed. "Alright, what is it? And this better be good.." I say, sighing as I rubbed my helm a bit. This wasn't the way I wanted my night to turn out. Drift tripping on me, my conscious talking. Damn, my life is screwed up so much. "I.. Wanna apologize for earlier." He said as I looked up, optics widening. He wanted to apologize to me for what happened this afternoon and tonight? "Hey, look. Don't apologize to me, it isn't your fault." I said, continuing. "Its my fault for having a messed up life." I finished, rubbing my forehead a bit. "Really.. At least you didn't used to be an Ex-Decepticon.." He said as I crossed my arms together. "At least you didn't have parents who always beat up for every small mistake you made! Ya know why I am who I am?! Its because of them! They never gave me fault for anything, all they did is yell at me for screwing up!" I yelled, having tears in my optics again. "That's why.. I'm always the troublemaker that I am.." I said, looking down, almost falling to my feet as Drift suddenly caught me. "My parents haven't even said they loved me.. Not even once.. That's why I consider Melody and Stargazer as my sisters.. They care about me." I say as he picked me up, holding me in his arms. "Chromia.. Why didn't you just say something before?" He asked as I shaked my helm slowly. I made a promise to not tell anyone. No one but the girls and Yorketron could know. They already knew about my pain.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't know about it.. Since we just met each other and all." He said as he slowly lifted my chin up with his finger before kissing my lips slowly. My optics widened a bit in surprise as we kissed each other. Drift was kissing me. Kissing me on the lips. I feel into the sweet spell, kissing him back as we didn't even move for that full minute. We then stopped as my cheeks became a bright red. "Uh... Um.." I studdered lightly as he smiled. "Is someone a little shy.." He said to me as I slowly shook my head. I might be saying no, but my spark was saying I was. I guess me and him were official then.
Me and Drift were now in love with one another, and no one could ever change that.
