Chapter 10: Two Sweet Sparkmates
Chromia's POV
"Hey Chromia, I was wondering something.." Drift asked me as I cocked my optic a bit. "What's up Drift?" I asked curiously as I looked a bit tired. He could see that I was tired, still carrying me as we sat under a big Cherry Blossom tree. I sat in his lap as I lightly smiled, relaxing. I felt like I was little kid again, hanging around with the girls and Tubro. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad as I thought it would be. "How you feel if.. We became Sparkmates?" He asked as I felt a bit excited on the inside. Us, sparkmates?! No way, he had to be joking! But, if he wasn't, I'm willing to give it a go. "That would be ok to me. I wouldn't care much." I say to him, looking up at him as he smiled at me again, gently kissing one of my optics as I blushed more and more deeply. It was like as if my body was reacting strangely. Maybe, just maybe, I could give this just one chance. Just one shot to make things all right between me and him. "Wait.. Are you serious about this? About you and me being Sparkmates?" I asked a bit shyly as he nodded, his hands gently squeezing around my chest as I snuggled close to him once more. "Well.. If were going to make the bond, then we have to find a private place.." He told me as I slowly nodded. I was actually a bit scared about this. Once I did this, I couldn't go back. Turbo was gone, so we couldn't find become mates ourselves, so this was another option I had as well. "Alright, you got it beautiful.." He said, picking me up as we looked around, hoping this would go well for us in the end. I then remembered the forest, of course! We can go there and make the bond there. "Drift, let's go to the forest, we can make the bond there, nice and easy. Then, its bedtime, I'm tired as frag.." I say as he nodded, carrying us into there as we went into there deep, so no one could hear my screams of pain after this was said and done. He dropped me near a tree, placing me there gently as he hand gently rubbed my chest plate, opening it slowly as he could see how bright my spark was. "For a femme Chromia, your Spark's pretty bright.." He mentions as I sigh, looking at him. "Thanks.. I could see that." I said as he nodded back, opening his chest plate as well, getting close as both of our Sparks glowed brightly, going out as I almost screamed loudly in pain, biting my arm. Son of a Primus, this hurt so much, and it wasn't a joke! He could see the tears in my optics, trying to hold them back as he held my hand. "Chromia, its alright. You can cry, its going to hurt.." He said as I nodded, biting my bottom lip as tears came down very fast. I never knew this process would hurt so much. After a few minutes, our Sparks returned to our regular places, my chest plate closing along with hid as I panted, looking at him, almost fainting in his arms as he caught me, smiling a bit. "Sweet dreams.. My sweet angel.." He said, holding me close to him. Wow, that felt good, painful, and amazing at the same time. I never expected him to comfort me like that. Were we really meant to be Primus? Were you actually giving me a second chance at love? If you were, all I have to say is thank you. Maybe, just maybe, I could do this and do this right without having to hurt anyone close to me or more importantly, hurting myself.
Drift's POV
I won't lie, for a femme like Chromia, she was pretty tough. I fought maybe Autobots before, but if we were going to fight, then it would end in a draw. She could easily out best me, but strength, probably not. But still, I couldn't complain, she was the right fem-bot for me. Sure, at first, things seemed cold, and she did snap at me when we first met, but after getting to know each other better. After explaining the situation, I couldn't blame her for acting tough all the time. Her boyfriend dying, parents neglecting her, she must get into trouble to get their attention, which must be a lot. I know I'll never ignore her. Primus gave me a second chance before, and I wasn't about this chance for Chromia slip past her servos. I laid myself back against the tree, placing the thin green femme into my lap so she could rest. To be honest, she looked quite cute for someone who slept. Melody mentioned to me that she was usually the hyper type, but I guess this must have tired he a whole lot. So I guess you should sleep for now Chromia, because you deserve it. Take the peaceful rest you've been waiting for so long, because I promise you, as long as I'm around, no one is going to hurt you, unless they would like to taste my cold bloods with their blood on it.
