Sunstreaker's Pov

12 weeks. It had been 12 weeks since I had that conversation with Optimus about Elizabeth. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy those 12 weeks. At first when Optimus suggested I spend time with Elizabeth, I had been annoyed with him, disgusted at the idea, now I can't believe I ever didn't like her. The day she was released from the Medbay I felt so relieved, like I would travel galaxies for her. I don't quite know how that feeling came to be, maybe it was guilt, I don't know. All I know is that she's practically my best friend now. I never thought I would like doing squishy stuff, like eating ice cream or going to movies but if I was with her nothing mattered.

Liz: Hey Streaker

Hey Squishy, climb on I said holding out my servo. That's another thing, a few weeks ago I would upset my tanks even thinking about letting a fleshy ride on my servo, now it's a normal occurrence. Just looking at my charge made my spark skip a beat, I'm pretty sure I'm coming to realize that I more than just like her, but that's something I have to talk to Sides about before even considering telling her that. Over the past couple of weeks, Liz has broken out of her shell and is no longer afraid to talk to the soldiers and bots. She still hasn't told me why the cons are after her, but for now I just like spending time with her. She even introduced me to her brother who's a N.E.S.T soldier. It looks like he shares the story behind what happened with Liz and the Decepticons, but as I said, right now I just enjoy spending time with her.

Liz: Where are we going Sunstreaker?

Me: A cliff further down the canyon

"K" Liz said putting on one of her grins that melts my spark

Liz and I sat on the cliff staring off into the canyon, content being in each other's presence. After about half an hour the sun began to set. I pointing it out to Liz and was just about to paint it when I got a call from Sides from on the com link.

Liz: What did he say?

Me: He wants to talk to me when we get back.

Liz: Lets go now

Me: Are you sure?

Liz: Yeah, I can see you paint the sunset another day.

Me: If you're sure

I transformed and let Liz into my alt for the ride back to base.

Back at base Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's Quarters

Sideswipe: What's going on with you and Liz?

Me: What are you talking about?

Sideswipe: You know what I'm talking about

Me: No I don't

Sideswipe: Sunny, every time you see her your spark twists into knots

Me: So?

Sideswipe: Sunny I know how this goes. You use your holoform to frag her, get Prime to make somebody else her guardian, then break her heart.

Me: I would never do that to her

Sideswipe: Really Sunny?

Me: I- -

Sideswipe: Just please don't break her heart Sunstreaker

As Sideswipe rolled away I silently swore not to hurt Liz. Even if it means not being with her at all.
