Sing me to sleep - terror twins -

+ Chapter 19. I don't want to talk about it...

Skyla was completely in the Christmas vibe. I was mostly observing her. Her spirit came back and I haven't seen her this excited before. She told me about the Christmas habits and about Santa clause. I think it's a bit of a strange story and habit but it was fun trying it for once. Somehow the Christmas vibe got me as well and made me forget about my kill urge a little bit. I haven't killed anyone after we got the tree and decorated the entire house. Skyla looked up as she spotted me and smiled. 'Yeah, I am wearing the stupid jumper,' I mocked and sat down beside her to see what she was up to.

'I have to leave for a bit.'  She signed. 'Why?' I raised a brow. 'To get your Christmas present,' she signed. 'I already know what it is,' I said. She smiled and shook her head. 'It's part of the Christmas vibe, Sunstreaker.'she signed. 'Alright.' I kissed her cheek and watched her get up . She was grabbing things she needed and left.

I sat back and just switched on the TV as the doorbell rang. I groaned and answered. 'What are you doing here?' I asked. Optimus looked at the jumper I was wearing. 'Well you didn't feel like coming to me,' he said and stepped inside. 'What happened?' He asked, pointing at me and the rest of the Christmas decorations. 'I don't want to talk about that,' I said. Prime followed me towards the living room. 'Just come to the point please.'

'It's been a while since I've seen you. Two months?' He asked. I shrugged, 'something like that. I haven't changed my mind though,' I said in a matter-of-fact tone. 'I bet... are you going to celebrate alone?' He asked. 'Yes. Peaceful and alone without anyone,' I snapped. It wasn't sarcastic, I was bloody serious about it. 'Stupid humans,' I scowled. Just thinking about the soldiers at the base gave me a wave of disgust and anger, but when Skyla popped up in my head, my anger seemed to fade.

'I am going anywhere these weeks.'

'We found Deception activity,' he said. I am going to break Skyla's heart if I leave for Christmas. I don't feel much for humans or their habits but I do know how it feels to be a abused. Perhaps that why I have a weak for her and am I doing this.'It can wait,' I sulked. 'No, it can't, Sunstreaker!'
'Yes it can!' I roared. A silence fell. 'It can wait,' I said, much calmer this time. 'You can't make me leave,' I added and turned around. 'I am your commander.' I snorted and turned around, grabbing my phone. I texted Skyla quickly about the situation. I didn't want her to come back and face Prime right now.

'You are acting really strange,' he said. 'Am I?' I muttered. He nodded. 'I don't want to talk about it. I can do whatever I want and I don't have to tell anything,' I snapped, turning my back towards him. 'If you don't have a good reason to stay, you are going on this mission,' he stated. I snorted and shook my head. 'I am not going anywhere,' I snapped back and passed him, sitting back on the couch. 'You really start to work on my nerves, Sunstreaker. You're here with a reason, not to have tea parties.' I clenched my jaws together and ignored him.

'You really disappoint me.'

I hate it when people say they're disappointed in me. It remind me too much of my parents. 'Just leave me alone.' He left without saying anything else. Skyla came back an hour later and smiled at me. It faded when she saw my face. 'What happened?' She signed. 'Nothing! Just drop it,' I snapped and got up.

((Skyla's P.O.V))
I removed my coat and shoes and walked after Sunstreaker. I gently grabbed his waist and turned him around. 'Skyla...' he growled irritated. I shook my head and cupped his cheek. I hated to see him annoyed or upset. I offered him a weak smile. He pushed me aside and walked off. I sighed and sat down on the couch. Eating Christmas chocolate. After two hours, Sunstreaker joined me on the couch as well. 'I am sorry.' I waved my hand dismissively and offered him some chocolate. He sighed, 'thank you.'

He unwrapped the chocolate bar and popped it in his mouth. 'He said he was disappointed in me... I hate when people say that,' he said. I glanced at him, 'he wanted me to go on a mission. Due to increased decepticon activity but... I won't be in time for Christmas,' he said. It was sweet he was thinking about me so much. 'I get it. They need you,' I signed. Sunstreaker shook his head. 'I am not going. I promised I would be here and I don't break my promises.'

I smiled and raised my hands to sign. 'You might ge a psychopath, but the best friend I've ever had.'  He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me in a hug. He hummed and kissed the side of my head. 'But I am only nice to you though,' he warned. I smiled and leaned into him. 'I was thinking, for first day of Christmas, we can have dinner. I saw this...' he grabbed his phone and showed me an ad. 'Christmas dinner at this restaurant and for second Christmas day, we can hang on the couch and watch stupid movies like the Grinch.' I nodded and smiled. Sunstreaker got up and got us some soda. 'Do you think Cooper will leave alone from now on?'

'Of course. Why do you doubt that?' He asked. I shrugged, 'because I saw him earlier today and the way he was looking at me freaked me out,' she signed. He rubbed my head. 'He didn't approach you?' He asked. I shook my head while he rubbed my scalp. 'Don't worry. He'll leave you alone and if he doesn't, I will kill him.' I nodded and rested my head on his chest.
