The night had passed peacefully, Bumblebee came out of stasis long before Sam woke up, the first rays of sunlight were trying to get through the window, though the room had been dark when they entered the night before, it was now starting to to fill with warm sunlight, Bee looked down at his sleeping lover, the night had taken it's toll, Sam had changed more than yesterday the blue currents of energy were now covering his whole chest and back down to his waist, his arms and hands were now a matching set, covered in blue trails of energy, Bee thought that the changes that would hit Sam the most were that his skin had changed from it's tan to the now pale tinted colour that his hand had taken on the day before and that the energy had now made it's way on to the right side of Sam's face, so that one half was different form the other, Bee was brought from his thoughts by the feeling of a hand on his own, Sam was awake and looking up at his worried face, "it's spread", the words were not a question, they were a statement, Bee could only nod in answer, "let me see?", on hearing the request Bumblebee got up and found a small mirror for Sam, when he cam back his love was wearing a worried expression, Bee paused "should I give him the mirror" he thought to him self, the choice was made for him when Sam said "bring it over here", slowly Bumblebee handed the mirror to Sam.
The mirror in his hands shook as it was raised to eye level, while Bee had been gone Sam had managed to get a good look at him self at least on his arm's and chest, the same blue glow was there, but at least the pain was gone from most of his body, only the parts that weren't lit up hurt, this was good in a way, but it told him the something had happened to his face as his left side was still a little sore. Now looking in the mirror Sam could see see his face, thought's of monsters from long forgotten horror movies filled his mind, these were followed by images of people turning away from his face rather than look at him, he would be alone, friendless and unloved, his hands tightened around the mirror, he wanted to get rid of it, to destroy it, as if doing so would take away that image and make him normal, just as he was about to throw the evil thing across the room Bumblebee stopped him, his hands took hold of Sam's and would not let go no matter how hard Sam tried to break free.
Slowly Sam settled down, his hand's relaxed and the mirror fell to the floor with a dull thud, Bee held on all the same, he looked Sam in the eyes. Those blue eyes were looking at him, into him, Sam shifted, he felt unclean looking like this in front of his beautiful, perfect, Bumblebee, he wanted to look away to hide in a corner and not bee seen, sure Bee had said that this wouldn't matter but Sam couldn't bring him self to believe it. Bee drew his face close to Sam's while the teen squirmed not wanting to be seen by anyone, Bee brushed his lips across his lovers, not a kiss just contact, soft and gentle, he needed the boy he held to look at him, slowly Sam looked Bee in the eyes, there was no shame there, no hate, no disgust, just love, a look he had seen in Bee's eye's so many time's before, a look that he had always liked but had only just come to realise what it meant, Bee loved him, this perfect being loved him, no matter what he looked like.
Sam's emotions broke and his head fell onto Bumblebee's shoulder, tears spilling forth, the Autobot just held him, keeping him safe, soon the tears gave way and Sam was exhausted, Bee gently lowered him on to the bed then wrapped his arms around him as he had done the night before, from outside the words "and I will always love you" came over the radio in Bee's alt form, Sam smiled as Bumblebee's avatar hummed along with the words, his hand's slowly stroking Sam's chest.
Sam felt safe, protected, like he always did with Bumblebee, he rested back feeling the warmth from the other being next to him, his mind not wanting to sleep again out of fear, the fear that there would be even less of Sam Witwicky left when he woke up, he shivered at the thought, then felt Bee's lips on the back of his neck, just a gentle contact like before, a message that Bumblebee was never going to leave him, Sam had started to relax just a little when he heard the door open, his eye's shifted to it expecting to see Ratchet or someone from the base. He nearly screamed when he saw Mikaela standing there, for a few seconds she said nothing, then commented "why when I walk into your room are you always in bed with someone"
The morning had gone better than it should have, Mikaela had come to the realisation last night that Sam no-longer loved her, that hurt, realising that her boyfriend no longer wanted her, but it was over too quickly, once the tears were gone, once Wheelie had held her hand, once she had slept, not even having cried her self to sleep, she had been alright, it didn't hurt, it was like she had known all along that there was nothing there, like she had been through the worst of it and now it was just some shock that she had not dealt with before and she was better now it had left her system. Mikaela thought about things, about Sam, how should she feel towards him, should she hate him, no Sam had done nothing really that was the worst part, he had been nice, been a friend, that was it, he had just been a friend, nothing more, he probably still didn't realise that he was no longer in love with her, but if he wasn't in love with Mikaela then with who, who had he been thinking of all those times when he seamed to fog out and drift away, there were lots of girls in college, of every type a guy could fall for and more, but who, if Leo knew then he was a much better actor than Mikaela gave him credit for, this puzzle sent her head spinning for most of the morning.
As lunch arrived Mikaela found that she had managed to get little work done, the Witwicky puzzle was still running round in her head, she had spent some time with him, spoken to him, there had to be something that pointed to who he had fallen for, there was no girl that he spent time with, no guy either, in fact Sam had been spending less and less time with people, she could understand, after everything he had seen and done it was hard to connect with anyone not in the loop, even she had found her self feeling alone at times. Sam just seemed to spend his time studying or driving with Bumblebee, so there was little change there, time dragged on as the solution continued to dance around her just out of reach.
It was only when a woman's voice yelled across the street that Mikaela finally found an answer that fit, "I swear to god that you love that car more than me", the woman was hurling abuse at her husband who at that time was rubbing a small mark on the hood of his shiny new car, bought by the looks of thing's as part of a mid-life crisis. "Maybe I lost out to a car", the thought was in her mind for less than a second, less time than anyone can do just about anything in, but in that second a thousand pieces fell into place and locked together, she said the name with out thinking "Bumblebee", images of all those little drives, of Sam's hand on the wheel, patting it gently, his other hand on the gear shift, staying there just that little bit to long, images of how Sam seemed only to relax when Bumblebee was around.
This hit hard, the other woman was in fact a car come giant robot, but it made sense, Sam had been spending all his time with Bumblebee and Mikaela had let it happen, in fact she had helped it along at times by saying that Sam could spend time with Bee if he wanted to and she would just catch up with them later. Mikaela sat there stunned, had Sam been two timing her from the start, anger rose a little, then fell when she thought of how clueless Sam was when it came to matters of the heart, it had taken her this long to figure it out, so Sam would have no clue unless, unless Bumblebee had made the first move, sure Bee was a good friend but would he have done this behind her back, again the answer was no, Bumblebee would never do anything to hurt any human, especially his friends, no if Bee had felt that way he would have stayed silent for Sam's sake, the yellow Autobot would do anything for for his friend, even suffer pain like that.
The more Mikaela thought about it, the more she realised that Bee had probably felt that way about Sam for a long time, maybe even from the start. When Sam had told Bumblebee that he was going to college alone the warrior had gone to pieces, breaking down in tears, she on the the other hand while being a little sad was ok with it, even then Bee had put all his spark into caring for Sam and the thought of being apart was just to much, feeling guilty and deflated the last piece fell into place, she had been the other woman, Sam's first true love had always been that car, the night she called Bee "a piece of crap camaro" Sam had been devastated, the look of hurt on his face haunted her more than anything right now.
It was simple, Bee had been there first, last and always, she had pulled Sam away from his true love and now he was finding his way back, a weak smile crossed her lips, they belonged together and she didn't, she was only a friend, some one who under stood them.
Later in the day Wheelie came over in his alt form, the little monster truck flashed his lights rapidly, Mikaela followed him inside where transformed into his robot mode, "what's wrong?" she asked, "it's bad my goddess, I got a message from ratchet he says that sam is, well it's hard to explain, he says that sam's going through some changes and there gonna be hard on him, ratchet wants you there to help, he thinks sam will need you as a friend", Wheelie didn't understand why Mikaela looked so sad when he told her after all the crying she had done last night. Mikaela was sad, because Sam was ill, but also because it seamed that Ratchet had figured out what was going on between the two of them, he had used the term "friend", not "mate" like he used to do. "Ok wheelie were heading out, i'm taking you on the plane with me so you'll have to stay in alt mode until we arrive ok", Wheelie just nodded at Mikaela's request, quickly the two left for the airport and boarded a plane.
It was early morning when the plane landed, Mikaela and Wheelie were escorted to the base by Ratchet, he had been waiting for them at the airport for a few hours, along the way he told them what was happening to Sam, Mikaela was shocked and said that she would do what ever she could, though worried she felt a little guilty, part of her was glad that it was over with Sam, the mechanics of a relationship with him now would be hard to deal with.
When they arrived at the base Ratchet dropped them off out side the barracks where Sam was staying, she opened the door and was a little shocked by what she saw, it was not Sam's appearance that got to her it was the fact that in the time it had taken her to get there Sam had ended up in bed with a guy that could be no-one other than Bumblebee. The look on Sam's face had made the trip worth it if nothing else, he looked like a dear caught in the head lights, after a few seconds all Mikaela could say was "why when I walk into your room are you always in bed with someone", the horror on Sam's face was priceless.
