ShiverTooth's Perspective
My liege had to go back to work, which means I had time. I ran back to Orion's office. I wanted to speak with him but nothing too concerning. I was going to teach him a few tricks that I had with the Iacon database from when I decided it a long time ago. I didn't get much information though.... just things that we already knew, but it could help Orion. I'm not sure if this is the best choice or the worst one.
On the way, I heard Soundwave reviewing a message that Megatron said to Orion or about Orion to other bots. So many of the comments were lies, insults, and things that he kept from Orion. I was right. Megatron was using him... my eyes flashed to a dark blue that fades into red. I got to the room and I heard blasters ejecting. I turned and the bots lowered the weapons. "Apologizes. We are still on high alert for Starscream after what happened to the previous guards." A Vehicon explains. I nod and enter the room.
"Greetings Orion." I comment. He answers "Commanded ShiverTooth? W-what brings you here?" I sit at the back on one of the benches. "Nothing..... I'm just not having it....."
He turns to me "your optics look different." I nod, bringing my knees up to my chassis. "It's based on emotion." He nods "Is there anything I can do to help? I-is it about someone on this ship?" I agree and look him straight into the optics. He was alarmed at my gaze. A slight blush washed over my face and the red of my optics turned to pink and then lilac. Tears beaded my eyes and I bring my helm into my legs, beginning to cry.Orion walked over and nervously set a servo on my arm and the other on the top of my helm. "Don't cry commander. Please." His digits rubbed my head softly. I closed my eyes and he asks "what is it about me that hurts you? I saw the look you gave me." I reopen my optics, keeping my gaze down "You aren't the same anymore...." "What do you mean?" He questions. I look up a bit "You and I were a lot closer than commander and soldier.... or friends..... or brothers..... You loved me as a boyfriend pretty much." I look down again.
I heard his breath shutter and then felt his servos heat up. His fans kicked on as well. Orion then says "If that's true, would you mind if I held you?" I shake my helm and lower my legs. Orion slowly lifts me into his arms. I wrap my arms around his neck and burry my face between his helm and shoulder. I missed him holding me. He uses one servo to hold me up, and places his other on my backplate, rubbing softly. The room went so silent to the point where I could hear his spark and breath. I could hear mine as well. "I miss you Optimus." I accidentally say aloud. I was too into him at the time to correct myself.
Orion Pax then removes his servo from my back and goes back to working. But it wasn't on the Iacon database. He was trying to find his true identity. "Okay...." he breathed. "Optimus.... Prime..." While he searched, I ask "Are my wings in your way?" I was keeping them to the side as best I could. "Not at all." He answers. I looked back to see the wrecker commander. Classic. A lot of people got confused on who was who. Who else would they use to cover Prime? Orion reads allowed "Huh, Optimus Prime: Leader of the autobot invaders. I reminded Starscream of him? And Lord Megatron said Ratchet was the autobot leader. Someone is not telling the truth."
He goes to me "ShiverTooth? You wouldn't happen to know anything, would you?" I look away and climb down from. "Commander—" "I do." I say "My brother was nearly killed by Megatron, multiple times. His traitorous nature lead him to work alone from what I'm guessing. The autobots would never accept him. And.... if you read this file, which the cons didn't mess with....." I bring up a file of me. He was shocked. "I have come across your file but never looked into reading it." Orion explains. I highlight a line in the text. His optics widen "so many people questioned why you became a decepticon rather than an autobot even though your nature wasn't that of a decepticons. That doesn't make sense though. If your nature wasn't of this team's than you would have had me at gun point as well."
I nod and he comes to the conclusion "Starscream was telling the truth." My optics open wide "He doesn't always. He tried to kill me after he met you here." Orion coughs awkwardly "You're right but I was referring to what he told me, no offense." "None taken." I reply, closing my file."I hope you find what you're looking for, Opti—- Orion." He nods and I leave. "Ffffffffff——-" I nearly curse when the door closes. One of the guards laugh "Couldn't keep yourself straight could you?" I lie "It's hard actually talking with the leader of the enemies who's being tricked by our leader when you know so dang much about him." We all laugh and I go down the hallway. I am a good lier when I have to be....
