[M] IC Longing to Belong {Axilus Prime & LeaderOfROTR}

[Axilus Prime]

Crosshairs awakened on the medical berth and got to his feet. Shockingly, something gave way under him and he fell onto several dull spikes. "GAH! The hell is this all about?!" He rolled off the pile, but that caused the pile to roll onto him. It was then that he recognized the dull spikes as the corners of Energon cubes. "Oh. Well who puts cubes next to the berth?!" He shook his head and got to his feet, again, then picked up an Energon cube.

Carrying it in hand, he approached Night Shadow. "Hey. Nighty. You all right?"

[LeaderOfROTR]

A wing flicked, but that was her only acknowledgment to him. She watched the wall, not sure what she felt about him anymore. Everything around her was so screwed up, it seemed. Still, she wasn't going to be rude to the mech when all he was doing was being kind.

She shifted some so she could see that bright green from the corner of her optic. He even brought her a cube. For some odd reason, she wanted to curl into herself because of it. Why would he be so damn nice to her. He wasn't the kind to be giving this kind of treatment around. Was it because he was her guardian? Maybe. Nothing made sense.

[Axilus Prime]

Crosshairs suppressed the urge to sigh in frustration. It was much easier to understand her when they were sparkbonded. But then, that did leave them both vulnerable to each other's pain. Damn. The asshole musta shaken her up bad.

He stood there awkwardly for a while, not saying anything. When he could think of nothing else, he simply put the cube down next to her. "Well. It's there if ya need it."

[LeaderOfROTR]

She forced herself to roll over, slowly taking the cube. She did her best to drink it, but she barely took anything. Her systems needed it desperately, but she had so much trouble making the liquid slide down her throat.


She looked up at the mech standing before her, wishing they could have that bond again. She wanted to cling to it, like a lifepreserver. She didn't know how to tell him this, to beg him to give them back what she wanted and needed. She looked up at him, letting her chassis slide open. Her spark beat fast, and her optics begged him.

[Axilus Prime]

Crosshairs' jaw dropped. Of all the reactions, this was the one he least expected. He looked behind him to make sure no one was watching, then faced Night Shadow again. For a while, he stood speechless. "Are you sure?" he finally said.

[LeaderOfROTR]

When his jaw dropped a faint smile touched her lips. While he looked down at her she slowly sat up, her frame trembling. Her grey optics met his, and she nodded.

Her spark beat fast, and she rose to her pedes before him. Her spark cast out a light on both of them, the crack from their breaking still there.

She didn't move, almost afraid it would break the spell. She looked at him, her optics begging him.

[Axilus Prime]

Crosshairs looked at her for a while, until he was absolutely sure that was what she wanted. He didn't know whether he wanted it or not, but he opened his sparkchamber regardless. With a slight step forward, he pressed their sparks together just as before. Well. Here we go.

[LeaderOfROTR]

Her vents hitched, and optics dilated. Their sparks came together and merged into one. In a moment she knew everything he had ever experienced and all his emotions. He had the same happen to him.

Night Shadow pressed herself into his form, holding onto him tightly. They were fully bonded now, and she let all of her mixed emotions slide over to him. Her frame shook, and she gazed up at his faceplate.

Slowly, she forward until their faces were mere centimeters apart. She stayed like that for a moment, then gently pressed her lips to his.
