Angel From A Dream

Chapter 23

Mom?

Strongarm! How are you, sweetie?

As well as can be given the situation.

Where are you?

On an Island.

Are you with Steeljaw? Has he hurt you?

Strongarm is silent for a moment as she looks at Steeljaw who has an optic ridge raised, "Are you okay?"

Strongarm just nods as she proceeds to answer her mom. Yes, I'm with him. No, he hasn't hurt me.

At least he hasn't hurt you. I'm with the others at that place you two escaped from. We took down the humans and currently, we're trying to get the Ground Bridge working again so we can bridge you back.

That's great! I can't wait to see you again! Is Dad there too?

Yeah, he's here too.

I can't wait to see him too.

Alright, see you when we get the Ground Bridge working again.

Strongarm was overjoyed to hear that she will be reunited with her parents again real soon, she had a big smile on her face that she couldn't get rid of. "Steeljaw, I was just talking to my mom. She says that she and the others have taken down the humans and they're working on fixing the Ground Bridge so they can bridge us back! We'll be getting off this Island!" In her excitement, she ends up hugging him.

Steeljaw looks down at her in surprise that she's hugging him and to hear the news. For the first time since his sire passed away, he felt his spark begin to shatter, it felt strange to him since he hadn't felt it in so long. He growls as he pushes her back and walks off to the other side of the cliff, he stops as he looks out over the ocean. His growl keeps rumbling in his chest as he thinks over what Strongarm had said, his femme is gonna get taken away from him. He doesn't like it.

Strongarm looks at him as he stands there, he's obviously not as happy to hear the news as she is. She slowly walks towards him, "Steeljaw, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to be getting off this Island?"

Steeljaw growls again, "No! It's just you and me on this Island, no fractions and nothing to keep us apart! As soon as we go through the Ground Bridge and get back there your team will do everything to keep us separated!" He clenches his servos to where his claws dig into his palms causing Energon to leak out as he turns to face her. "Do you even care about how much pain that will cause me? I'm so much in love with you now that just the thought of being away from you makes my spark ache."

Strongarm was taken aback by that, she recently started to finally see that he really does love her but she didn't think he was that much in love with her. But that one question still lingers in her processor, "What is it about me that you love? Why are you so interested in me?" After having the realization that her ex was only into her body and not her whole being she has to know exactly where Steeljaw's interest lies.

Steeljaw looks at her as he calms himself down and thinks it over, though he doesn't have to think about it too long because he knows exactly what he loves about her. "Your beauty was the first thing that caught my interest and made me start to fall for you." His usual smirk appears on his face as his optics roam over her body, "Though I'll admit your body is very nice too, you're very sexy." His smirk fades when his optics meet hers again and his face becomes serious, "But it's mostly your beauty, your beautiful face, those beautiful blue optics that I could simply lose myself in, and those luscious lips that I very much enjoy kissing."
