Okay so next chapter is up. I don't know if it makes much sense, but I did as best as I could. Enjoy!

"Where's Sunny?" Starshine asked.

Sideswipe sighed for what felt like the millionth time in the past deca-cycle. It had been that long since Sunstreaker had walked out of their home, after he had confronted Sides.

He had never felt so bad for driving his brother away like that and Sides wished to make it up to him. But Sunstreaker was not one to forgive so easily, especially when it concerned their bond.

"Sides?"

Sideswipe looked down at Starshine who was holding one of her stuff animals tightly to her chest. He bent down and picked her up, feeling her wrap her hands around his neck.

"I don't know where Sunny is Starshine. I wish I knew," he whispered filling up a cube of energon for her.

"Does he not love us anymore?" she asked.

He turned his head to the side and gave a small glare. "Don't you ever think that Starshine." She ducked her head burying it into his neck.

"M' sorry," she apologized.

Bringing up a hand Sideswipe rubbed it up and down on her back, giving comfort to his sister. "It's alright Star, I'm sorry I snapped at you. Sunstreaker loves you, don't ever think differently."

"So then why isn't he here?"

He continued to rub her back. "Because he has business to attend to and he'll be back soon. I promise."

Starshine nodded her head up and down, taking the cube he was handing over to her.

She was half way through drinking it, when the door to the apartment opened and both looked to it. The cube fell to the floor, energon splattering everywhere.

"SUNNY," Starshine screamed, scrambling to get out of Sideswipe's hold.

The red mech put her down and watched as she ran to her other brother, to which he quickly picked her up. The two hugged each other close, Starshine asking him where he was and why he was gone so long.

Sunstreaker didn't answer as he gave a small glare at Sideswipe and began heading towards Star's room. The door closed behind them, leaving Sides to himself.

Sideswipe sighed yet again as he picked up the forgotten cube, grimacing at the mess that was left behind. He placed the cube on the counter and grabbed a cloth to start cleaning up the spilled energon.

The red mech had been at it for a while, when the door to Star's room opened and then closed again. He didn't look up when a pair of black feet, stopped near him.

He did stop though when a black hand reached out and halt his progress at cleaning up the mess.

Sideswipe looked up into the blue optics of his brother, wincing when he saw the pain in Sunny's face. Sides pulled his hand away and continued on with his cleaning.

"We need to talk," Sunstreaker said watching his brother clean.

"Nothing I say or do will make up for the pain I caused you," his brother spoke softly.

Sideswipe stood up, cloth in hand moving over to the sink. There he dropped it into the sink as Sunstreaker came up behind him.

"Why did you do it?" asked Sunstreaker, making Sides wince again.

Sideswipe's grip on the counter tightened. "I had to much high grade. Believe me Sunny, I never meant to hurt you." He pleaded looking to his yellow twin.

Sunstreaker growled, looking away angrily. "I believe you, but it still hurt. I am your bondmate, not that slagger. If you wanted to bond so badly, you should have come to me."

"Primus Sunny, I know that," he said turning to his twin. "I can't forgive myself for what I did."

"Neither can I," mumbled Sunstreaker.

Sideswipe looked down at the floor. "I know it's a long shot saying this. But I really am sorry and I promise not to do it again."

The two had fallen into a small silence only being broken when Sunstreaker sighed. "It will be a long time before I forgive you completely. But for now I want to spend time with Starshine."

Sideswipe nodded his head. "I understand, she did miss you though."

Sunstreaker nodded his head and walked off in the direction of their shared bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Sideswipe looked at the door for a while, then took a seat on the sofa, knowing he was going to be recharging on it for the next few deca-cycles.

Author Notes: Again, not sure if it makes much sense for everyone, but this is what I came up with. Ties in with the last chapter for sure. Please review!
