Megatron stared. Optimus looked at them.
"Ratchet I thought you said that Megatron had no destiny mark." Megatron looked at Optimus then Ratchet. Nova looked at them as well.
"Well I thought he didn't." Megatron looked at Optimus.
"I never thought that we could be destined mates Optimus...I thought yours would have been Elita..."
"That's what I thought," said Ratchet. Nova hugged Megatron's servo that was closest to her. Optimus cradled Atlas.
-later-
Nova looked at Megatron's servo.
"What do these do daddy?"
"They lead you to your destined mate."
"How?"
"The story that my creators, your grandcreators, told me was that they appear when you meet the bot who is going to be your mate and you are supposed to have a happy life with whoever it is."
"Oh. I don't have one."
"You haven't met who has supposed to be your mate then." Nova nodded. Megatron leaned back and Nova laid on his chest.
"I hope I will someday."
"You will." Megatron stroked her helm.
"Daddy can I ask you a question?"
"What is it?" She looked down slightly.
"Are you going to bond with mama? Since you have the same marks?"
"I...I don't know Nova. I don't know if your mother would be willing to try. If he would be willing to...perhaps date then I would gladly. If it meant that you 3 would have a happy life."
"Would you love mama?"
"If he would return it happily."
-A few Days later-
Optimus took Nova's sleeping form from Megatron.
"Is she having fun with you?"
"I think she is."
"That's good." Optimus cradled her.
"Optimus?" The red and blue mech looked up.
"What is it?"
"I would like...to...um..." Megatron tried to figure out how to phrase his question.
"Would you like to arrange a meeting between the two of us? To try to build a better friendship? For them?"
"I would like to Megatron."
"That's...Great. Um...tomorow?"
"That would be fine." Optimus smiled up at him gently and turned to go inside.
"Good night Megatron."
"Good night Optimus."
-The next day-
"Knockout I don't know how to do this! I should have thought before opening my big mouth!" Knockout watched the larger silver mech pace.
"You must be really smitten with him. It's somewhat surprising. You always talked about him before like you hated him."
"Now that I know that he is supposed to be my mate...the feelings that I used to feel for him returned."
"You used to have feelings for him? I find that surprising."
"It was before I caused the revolution. He was dating Ariel at that time. He was so curious back then and it amazed me how he thought...but it angered me at the same time...But now the feelings I feel for him now are what I felt for him then. Even though they weren't mutual. I'm afraid that is how it'll be now."
"I wouldn't worry so much Megatron. You're over thinking this. It'll be fine. Just take him to the control room, sit there, and talk. It'll work out." Knockout crossed his arms.
-Later that day-
Optimus walked to the Nemesis. Megatron was outside.
"Good evening Megatron."
"Good evening Optimus. Would you like to talk somewhere private?"
"Yes." Megatron walked in and walked to the control room. Optimus looked around.
"What would you like to talk about Megatron?" The red and blue mech looked at the silver.
"The future...and our femmes."
"What sort of future?"
"Well we have found out that we are destined mates. Since our destiny marks match. Is there possibly any future for us?"
"As a couple?" Megatron took Optimus' servo that his destiny mark was on.
"I would like to possibly become something." Optimus looked at him.
"Megatron I didn't know you felt this way."
"I liked you when you were still just a clerk...but since you were with Ariel I didn't voice my feelings for you." Optimus looked at Megatron's servo that held his own.
"I didn't know you felt this way. Had I known then..."
"It's ok Optimus. It's only just recently I started feeling these feelings for you again. I would like to become something. I would help with Nova and Luna and even tiny Atlas. I would be willing to help you with whatever you wanted. We are already have agreed to lead Cybertron together. I would love to be your mate...if you felt the same way anyway..." Optimus stared at Megatron's servo. Their marks touched.
"What do you say Optimus?"
"I...I..."
