Ah High grade… or in our case, alcohol. Thank you blessed god for bestowing us with this wonderful beverage…
I don't own Transformers.
Optimus awoke in Rodimus's arms, yawning as he surveyed his new home. Not too shabby… not too shabby at all. The berth, other than being absolutely wonderful after so many years of sleeping on the ground and metal berths of space shuttles, was designed as a large circle with a curtain that wrapped its way around the berth. It had two openings on each side of the berth to allow it's users to come and go as they pleased, and the pillows were deep blues and blacks that accentuated the reds and greens in the room while the comforter that he was wrapped in was a solid, denim blue with small squares of aqua woven into the pattern. The room itself was decorated with elaborate fixtures and rare metals on the mantel and gorgeous sky blue cloth curtains that stretched from the top of the doorway leading to the bottom, curling around the edge like a loyal dog as the wind blew gently through them. The floor was a dark grey marble, and the walls were painted a very calming aqua color. There were various pieces of classy artwork that found their homes on the walls of the room. Rodimus himself was watching television on the large TV screen across from the berth with Optimus curled in the blankets, resting his helm against the red and yellow Decepticon's (1) chest. The pointed emblem showed roughly on Rodimus's chest, ruining the former Autobot symbol that had been painted on. Decepticon's applied their faction symbols with a hot brand, not paint like the Autobots did. It burned its way into their outer spark chambers, forming a light bond with the symbol and forcing them to obey Megatron, and the fallen. Rodimus blinked and noticed that his love was awake.
"Morning sleepy helm~" The younger (2) bot said happily as he kissed Optimus's helm gently. Optimus smiled and pressed a kiss into Rodimus's chest panels, and then nuzzled his nose into the other mech. It felt good to sleep in for once. Over that past few stellar cycles, he had never allowed himself to sleep in, mostly because he was Prime and he couldn't afford to sleep in. However, he wasn't on the battlefield anymore… and he didn't carrying his titles in this domain… so that meant… he got to sleep in all he wanted. Optimus gave Rodimus a big smile and cuddled into the other mechs embrace.
"What time is it?" Optimus half moaned, half yawned. Rodimus chuckled a little at the rather cute display, and ran his servo down Optimus's support column and back up to the blue mechs shoulder. Optimus loved the feeling of the other mechs servos on his back. It felt like it was slowly fulfilling his aching body's wishes, rubbing all the cramps and sore spots away with one flick of the wrist.
"Optimus…" the bright red mech whispered into his new pet's audio receptor. Optimus gave a little moan of appreciation, moving his body so that his helm was placed right beside the younger mech's neck cables, gently nuzzling them with the tip of his nose. Rodimus moved both of his servos up to the slightly older mech's back, pressing his cheek into the side of Optimus's helm. Optimus placed a small kiss on the younger bot's neck cables, and then gently licked the same spot as he kissed his way up to the other mech's audio receptor.
"I love you… I've missed you so much… I never stopped thinking about you, Sentinal or Elita…" Optimus kissed the mech's cheek gently. Rodimus stopped for a second, and gently placed his servos on Optimus's chest. He pushed slightly, doing his best to dislodge the persistant mech from his kissing assault.
"Optimus, stop… we need to talk before we continue…" Rodimus pushed Optimus into a sitting position, placing his perfectly over the younger mech's groin. Optimus gazed into the worried optics of the younger mech. Something was amiss, and judging from Rodimus's look and the timing of his words, it had something to do with Elita and Sentinal.
"Optimus…" Rodimus began, and then stopped, selecting his delicate words with the precision of a sniper taking out a diplomat.
"If this is about… this" Optimus ran his digits over the newly scored Decepticon symbol, at least it looked new, knowing Rodimus it had been there for stellar cycles and he wouldn't have let it rust or wear to gain the aged look that the others had obtained. "It's ok, You did what you had too. Thrust told me back on the ship (3), if you hadn't turned con, then your team would have been killed. You did what your instincts told you to do. It's ok. I don't hold you in any wrong doing." Rodimus smiled sadly at Optimus, and then took his blue servo in his red one.
"Well… that was one thing, but there is more. Elita and Sentinal… he went offline about 40 stellar cycles ago. Long before I joined the cons and learned of what had happened to them. There was nothing I could do to save Elita… Starscream was forced to offline her under the fallen's command. I'm… I'm so sorry Optimus…I know you held a lot of love towards them, but they will meet us in the Well of All Sparks (4) when the time comes. Please…" Rodimus grabbed the other mech, who know looked rather devastated, and pulled him into a taught hug, allowing his clear lubricant fluids to seep out of his optics and run down to the other mech's cheek wherer they met.
"Rodimus…it's ok. Did…(sighs heavily) did they at least go quickly?" Rodimus sniffled as Optimus spoke.
"Yea… yes, they were both killed in battle. Shot straight through the spark chamber. The reports said it was quick and virtually painless. Same for Ultra Magnus (5). After I came to the cons, I made sure they didn't torture any more Autobots, but they do have the majority locked in the stockades or out on the pet markets… almost all of the remaining Autobots now belong to a high ranking Decepticon. And if I hadn't stepped in when they caught your team, I fear they would have thrown you in the stockades as well. I'm so glad you are safe here." Rodimus embraced Optimus in the tightest hugs he had received in more than a millennia. IF felt good to be back in the arms of someone he loved… even if his spark felt like it was trying to tear itself in two… at least he had a good, sweet mech to mend it. And he did get the honest truth about his friends… even if he didn't want to hear it.
Optimus grabbed Rodimus and pulled the younger mech on top of him while rolling over. It was getting close to noon, but Rodimus looked exhausted… had he slept at all last night? Probably not. Well, nothing a warm blanket and berth mate couldn't fix.
The blue mech bundled his love, who now looked like he had a virus with tears streaming down his cheeks, in the blankets and pressed kiss after kiss into his helm.
"It's ok…it's ok… just relax. You're tired. No one holds their deaths against you. You can't reverse time, and you can't change the past… just let it go. We know they are watching over us… and everyone loves you." Optimus pressed another kiss into his helm as he swaddled Rodimus in the cloth. "They forgive you… and I don't." Rodimus looked at his hopeful mate with fear and sadness lodged into his optics, only to have his tears wiped away by the older mech. "I don't forgive you because there is nothing to forgive. You've done nothing wrong… so please, stop beating yourself up. I hate to see you sad… and what would they think, watching you get so depressed about this…you're not Primus, and no one is asking you to be. Just be Rodimus… the Rodimus I remember… the Rodimus that Elita would tell stories to before berth, and that Sentinal trained… the Rodimus that loved everyone around him… and rest, because you need your strength." Rodimus sniffled once more as the older mech embraced him and wiped away the lubricants. Optimus didn't hold anything against him… and he had never led him astray. AS he kissed his future bondmate, Rodimus laid his helm down on Optimus's chest, listening to his spark beat. It soothed the sore warrior and he felt his muscular cables relax for the first time in a decade. The last thing he remembered was the lullaby that Elita used to sing while he was drifting off to sleep.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
And I dont want to miss a thing (6)
Starscream's curiosity got the better of him while his tired lover recharged heavily. Megatron apparently didn't recharge well when his potential bondmate was injured. And to that note, an exceptionally loud snore erupted from the larger mechs vocal components. However… this room was big… and he had never had the time to explore it when Megatron was living here. So… why not?
The silver flyer wandered around the room foraging for whatever could keep his unusually fast processor occupied. There were some datapads about old missions that he wasn't too interested in… and some old entertainment file disks… some obscure entertainment disks…with perverted femmes on the front. Starscream couldn't help but notice the femmes were dressed like seekers… perhaps his Megatron had been harboring this little affection longer than he originally though. His lover grumbled in his recharge, giving the covers a little kick to get them out of the way. He was unusually hot, but nothing a little evening breeze wouldn't cool. Starscream continued his search until he wandered over to Megatron's desk. Numerous datapads were strewn across it like they had been hit by a solar wind storm. Starscream saw his master's scribbling servoscript(7) littering the pages. Out of his curiosity and the state of his insatiable lover, Starscream decided against his normal judgment to read the datapads.
Frenzy is red,
Rumble is blue,
My optics are red ,
With my passion for you (8)
Starsceam giggled as he read this…heh, it was an old love poem. These must have been here for centuries since Megatron was frozen. Whatever lucky mech was destined to receive this poem was probably offlined by now. The war had taken its toll, and many mechs and femmes had died as a result of the Fallen's thirst for power. The chances of the lucky bot getting this poem were next to none…unless…no, that couldn't be. These were centuries old, and Megatron wouldn't have written this kind of fluffy, lovey dovey stuff! He was Megatron! The Silver Tyrant! The Slagmaker! He'd offline you for writing this kind of stuff! But then again… it was his servoscript… so who was the lucky mech…or more likely, femme. That thought alone saddened Starscream.
Even with this slightly sad, and rather erroneous thought, Starscream padded his way through the unfinished poems until he found some other mostly complete ones…
All through my wandering years
I always said I was biding my time
But alone in the dark Id face my fears
That no other heart would come to mine
At first when you found me
It took me a while til I realized
Why I felt weak when you were around me
Why I couldnt speak when I looked in your eyes
All this time Ive been searching
Until you, I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
Watching over me (9)
Cute… but not descriptive enough… he had to find one that gave some sort of detail… something that would send up Starscream's mind and identify who this lucky bot was that Megatron had written all these poems to. He grabbed another datapad and read it.
You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And i want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere i go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
Baby
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more than i need you
And i know, yes i know that it's plain to see
So in love when we're together
Now i know that i need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time (10)
Almost there… there had to be at least one poem that defined what this bot looked like. In his studious searching, Starscream never saw the ominous shadow that loomed over his shoulder or noticed that the heavy snoring had stopped a few cycles ago.
There's a garden of hope
In a town called faith
And the state of Happiness
Is not far away
From the country of wants and the sea of needs
I'll take you there with me
Someday when i rule the world
Gonna stand by you
Love you all i can
You're beautiful
The reason i believe
Dont give up on me
I'll make it wonderful
When I rule the world
When I look into your eyes
Oohh it just amazes me
And the way I feel inside
When your changing me (11)
That gave off a rather… unsurprising tone. Megatron would rule Cybertron one day, and it only made sense that the love of his life would stand by him, servo in servo, ruling with all the power and dignity of a true emperor. He grabbed another datapad and read furiously. And this was the one…
If you see me coming up an open road
With an empty glass and a single rose
Take a turn towards the shifting light
There youll see my shadow lost in the night
Endless flight has no directions now
To a cowards kiss from a heros vow
If I could find the words, Id pick up the phone
If I was half a man, I wouldnt sleep alone
Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings
Oh you shook your head like a wild horse
Beneath the southern cross in the frozen north
Oh when our bodies touched on that burning beach
I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach
Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings (12)
Starscream held his air cycle… these old datapads, dated ions before… they were meant for… for him. The silver flyer felt like he couldn't cycle air, mostly from joy, but the sheer amount of happiness he felt. Though his sudden overwhelming happiness was cut short when a large, darkened silver talon rested itself on the flyers recently repaired wing; causing Starscream to nearly jump out of his shell.
"You know, when I wrote those, I had no idea how brave you were." The darkened talons enwrapped themselves around the silver flyer, pulling him close as the mech behind him inhaled his slightly dampened scent. Starscream could have sworn he felt a lubricant drop slither its way down his cheek. He turned and embraced his beloved and kissed the side of his helm.
"You really noticed me back then?" The seeker asked, completely startled at the idea of the tyrant noticing his wings and his flight patterns back when he was younger. In the seeker tradition, noticing one's flight pattern was considered flirting behavior, and asking one to dip their wings towards them was a sign of trust, usually only done by bondmates because it exposed the most sensitive and easily damaged portion of the wings.
Megatron lifted Starscream up into his hold as he caressed the repaired helm.
"You know… you never gave me an answer last night." The tyrant rumbled. True, Starscream never did give him and answer…he instead chose to screw Megatron's processor out until the tyrant exhausted himself and they both fell into deep recharge. Given that it was directly against Hook's orders to have any contact of the sort until given the green, but Starscream had enough torture by the Fallen… why not let the love of his life have whatever he wanted after this long and rater drawn out affair with the wicked one.
"I think you already know the answer…" Starscream whispered into Megatron's audio receptor. Megatron grinned, but pulled Starscream as close as possible without damaging his cockpit.
"Not until I hear it from your gorgeous lips…" Megatron pressed a light kiss into the side of his helm. Starscream smiled and nuzzled the tyrants cheek.
"Yes… a thousand times yes…even Primus himself couldn't keep me from you anymore…" Starscream kissed him passionately and pulled the silver tyrant over to the berth.
MUWHAHAHA!!!
Cliffy. Why? …I honestly have no idea. But I don't want to write a scene right now, so we can pick it up next chapter!!!
1 Rodimus turned Decepticon for a reason! New poll at the bottom.
2 Rodimus is about 20 stellar cycles (year) younger than Optimus… in our time translated, that makes him about… a month younger? That sound about right? Whatever.
3 Thrust talked to Optimus on the way to Cybertron because he was the only mech awake. And Thrust was bored. You talk to the prisoners while you are bored and on guard duty.
4 To those who do not know, the Well of All Sparks is essentially the good place Cybertronians go when they offline. The bad place is called The Pit.
5 I have wayyy to much respect for Magnus to make him a pet. After Animated, he was too much like a grandfather to put into that position. So… yeah. It was easier to just say he was offlined.
6 Aerosmith's I Don't Want To miss a Thing, suggested by Decepticon05
7 servoscript=handwriting. Yeah, a cookie if you figured it out before I explained it.
8 This poem was submitted by Kibble Beast. I know I didn't get everyone's poems in this time, mostly because there were a lot more than I thought I would have in the end and it looked overdone. So… I ended up picking and choosing. But since her poem was the first submitted, I felt it should have been in there.
9 Fells Like Heaven by Peter Cetera. Copyright belongs to… whoever holds it. I honestly don't know who owns it.
10 … if you don't know who did this one, where have you been? Under a rock? It's You're the Inspiration by Chicago. One of the most romantic songs in existence.
11 Rule the World by Peter Cetera. I came across it's lyrics while searching for romantic poetry, and I thought 'You know… Megatron is going to rule Cybertron one day…eh, why not?"
12 Easily one of my most favorite songs of all time, Dip Your Wings by, yeah, you guessed it, Peter Cetera. To those who don't know, Peter Cetera was the lead singer of Chicago before he left them for… well, I honestly don't know or really care, the man has a great voice. And the music from the group and from him is outstanding. When I first heard this song, I thought of Starscream… mostly due to the wings part. But as I continued to listen to it (937 times on the iPod) I couldn't help but sneak Megatron into it as well. Which gave me the inspiration for another fic that I haven't posted yet. I will post it in the future and it is Megatron/Starscream. TC makes a small appearance, but it's honestly just a mention. Like… one line 'TC called ahead' deal. Sry TC, but you don't fit into the Megatron/Starscream equation.
And fin~~~ until I get my butt in gear when school starts back. Anyways! A special thank you to all the reviewers who left poems. The songs above had already been picked out before I posted the challenge, so it was getting to pick and choose. Except Rule the World, that one came to me out of nowhere. And to black dragon, I love your choice, but I couldn't fit it in the normal script! So… here's a blooper just for you!
Blooper!~!~!~!~
Thundercracker hadn't been this pissed in… well, at least a millennia. He couldn't believe he was this pissed! He had actually left the shared quarters he had with Skywarp to get some fresh air, and to get away from the little afthole. He couldn't stand being in the same area as that bastard right now. He had caught Skywarp smooching on Thrust, who wasn't really to blame because he was drunk as the pit. So here he stood, or sat, in the ship's bar, drinking more high grade in this one evening than he had the entire rest of the stellar cycle.
His processor was swimming in the sheer amount of high grade he had drunken. Thundercracker wasn't a light weight by any means, but even he had his limits, and he was sure he had surpassed them about 3 cubes ago. He was so drunk that he didn't notice Skywarp sliding into the seat next to him.
"Thundercracker!" The purple flier said, worry and concern scratching through his normally cheerful vocal processor. He grabbed the blue flier and hugged him, only to receive a servo pushing against his chest in protest. Skywarp frowned and pulled TC closer to his spark.
"Thundercracker, I'm sorry… I honestly thought it was you. If it makes you feel any better I won't drink around the others anymore…" Thundercracker stopped pushing away from the purple flier and raised his previously drooping helm to stare at the other seeker. Skywarp smiled at Thundercracker with all the love and endearment that the blue fliers bondmate could possibly have.
"Here, I found this on an Earth channel. I hope it says everything I apologize for." The song started to play and Thundercracker rested his helm on the purple flier's shoulder.
Since you've been gone
I feel my life slippin' away
I look to the sky
but everything's turning gray
all I've made was one mistake
how much more will I have to take
why can't you think it over
why can't you forget about the past
Cuz love makes a sound baby
our spark needs a second chance
but don't put me down baby
can't you see I love you
since you've been gone
I've been in a trance
this spark needs a second chance
don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye
[Verse 2]
So this is love
I'm standing in the pouring rain
I fooled on you
but he never made me think
and I know I ain't got no right
to ask you to sympathize
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
[Chorus]
Cuz love makes a sound baby
our spark needs a second chance
but don't put me down baby
can't you see I love you
since you've been gone
I've been in a trance
this spark needs a second chance
don't say it's over
I just can't say goodbye
My spark needs a second chance
don't put me down baby
My spark needs a second chance
My spark needs a second chance
Say goodbye, don't ever ever say goodbye
My spark needs a second chance(yeahhh babyy)
By the end of the song, Thundercracker had a tear of lubricant running down his cheek. He grabbed Skywarp's shoulder and pulled him into a kiss. He pulled away after a minute or two of passionate kissing and looked Skywarp straight in the optics.
"If you ever try to cheat on me again, I'm leaving you." Skywarp nodded, but then smiled and said the one thing TC didn't expect.
"Why would I ever cheat on you? You're my perfect mate… and there's no one else I'd ever share a berth or a lifetime with. I'm sorry I thought Thrust was you… can you ever forgive me?" TC smiled at the remark, and hugged Skywarp.
"Yeah… but if you ever do that again, I'm shooting you, then him, and then castrating you on the spot. And you know how ideal my threats are…sweetspark." Skywarp laughed nervously, agreeing with the stronger mech.
"But I do need to know one thing…" Thundercracker said. Skywarp looked at him rather confused. Thundercracker smirked and asked his question.
"Who kisses better, me or him?" Thundercracker said, very blunt about it. Skywarp laughed for 2 cycles before answering.
"Well, let's just say when I didn't feel the normal sensuous swirl of your glossa and those strong servos running up and down my support column, I stopped because it wasn't you. Even through the illusions that high grade gives, I can tell when it's not my bondmate. Besides, you're the best kisser I've ever known…" Thundercracker smiled and reached for Skywarp again, only to be cut off.
"You're also the best stallion I've ever known… now… how can I make it up to you?" Skywarp said, leaning over the blue flier to position his chest perfectly above his bondmate's spark chamber. Thundercracker smirked, there were a lot of ways Skywarp could make it up to him… starting with racing back to their chambers and playing submissive all night long.
New Poll!!!
Why did Rodimus turn Decepticon?
1 Because he wanted to.
2 To defend someone (state who, you do not need to be specific)
3 Because he is awesome as an evil con
4 Cake (insert flavor)
Anyways, you know what to do-
Review.
It feeds me and gives me inspiration.
And thank you so much to all the reviewers, you guys have made this more fun than a barrel of monkeys in a bouncy house (wt…yeah, I like monkeys).
Anyways, point out typos in anything you see here if I missed it, and you get a cookie if you find anything wrong with continuity or wording. Just as a thanks for helping me.
I'm head off to school today! And what a joy! My classes have been rearranged! My 10 am got pushed up to 9 am and one of my online classes is now a campus class! What's this… and it falls in the middle of my studio arts class… (changes it) ok… now I'm in a class I've never heard of… but it's online… whatever. Sleepy time.
