Sing me to sleep - terror twins -

+ Chapter 28. Guess it's just the two of us for some time

Sideswipe was different than his brother. In many ways. He was busier and very talkative. He just kept rambling on and on. I didn't speak but I did wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sideswipe sat down again and stopped talking for a moment. He has been talking for the last 30 minutes without stopping. 'Something you'd like to do?' He asked. What happened a few days ago popped up in my head and I quickly shook my head. 'We don't have to go outside... we can play a game if you'd like,' he added. A game? I raised a brow. 'Like... ever tried GTA? I want to try it,' he said. I shook my head slowly. I didn't even know what it was.

'Sunny and I don't game.'

He ohh'ed. 'Uhm, what do you do then?' He asked. 'We draw or he teaches me how to paint,' I signed. 'Oh, I sick at drawing or painting but... you know maybe we can do something as well... something I am good at too,' he said. 'Like what?' I signed. I didn't want to be rude and piss him off again. 'I don't know... let's do some work-outs together,' he said. I gave a small nod.

'I'll change in my sport outfit in a minute,' I signed. He nodded and watched me get up and walk over to the staircase. I missed Sunny so much. It's different without him here. It's not an offend towards Sides, but I am used to Sunny and barely know Sideswipe. He just feels more like a stranger to me.

((Sideswipe's P.O.V))
I sighed softly. I am not getting anywhere. It feels like she's getting shier and I can't break through her she'll. I rubbed my face. I never thought it would be so hard. Usually, it's really easy for me to talk to girls but she's a whole new level. Nevertheless, she's beautiful and has a nice personality. Easily spooked though and quite submissive. My brother loves that but I like to start arguments. I can't start them with Skyla, she'll agree with me right away to avoid a conflicts.

I know she misses my brother a lot. She didn't talk about it but she did and wanted him back home. Somehow, I wondered if I screwed up the first day I took her out for a drive. Perhaps, it wasn't the smartest idea. All I wanted was to get to know her a little bit and show my brother I can handle things and that I am not irresponsible.

We did some work-outs and she was able to keep up with me but after two hours she really started to get a little tired and perhaps a little sore as well. 'You'd like to stop?' I asked. She stopped drinking from her bottle. 'What else do you have on your schedule?' She signed. 'Oh, just... not much. You can stop, you don't necessarily have to continue to please me,' I said. She looked down at her lap again. I wish she would look at me while talking. 'I am going to take a shower,' she signed and left.

I sucked in a breath and sat back for a moment. How can I make her more comfortable. The silences freak me out and although she doesn't mind, I love talking. That night, she had cooked for us both like she usually does for Sunstreaker. His favorite meal, assuming I would like it too but I absolutely hated it. It was gross and I had no idea why my brother liked it so much. I just didn't want to be rude and hurt her feelings. She seemed to enjoy the meal as well.

'That makes it all even worse...'

((Skyla's P.O.V))
Sideswipe wasn't eating very fast. Not like he usually does. He's always done quickly. I got my suspicions that's he didn't really like it. I got up and walked over to the kitchen, making him some eggs and toast. He looked at me as I grabbed his plate and replaced it for the one I just made before sitting down again. 'I liked the food.' I snorted. 'I did.' I shook my head and continued eating, so did he, much faster this time.

After dinner, I froze the remaining food for later and did the dishes. 'I am sorry.' I shook my head to dismiss it. 'You could've said if,' I signed. 'I didn't want to be rude. You did your best making it,' he said. 'If Sunstreaker doesn't like my food he just throws it away and makes something for himself and makes me eat the food I made. So, I know what a shame it is and how bad it was. Sunstreaker is rude but he's honest.'

'You actually like that?'

She shrugged but didn't sign. 'I wouldn't do that, because it would hurt your feelings,' I said. 'Ah, right... so I keep making it? I like the feedback Sunny gives me. Rather it's rude or not, can you move aside?' He stepped away so I could grab a dishcloth. Sideswipe sighed softly and left the kitchen. I really hoped Sunny would be back before tomorrow. I want to wish him happy new year and be with him.

That night, I was really sore and I couldn't really sleep either. Sideswipe didn't really tell me how his brother was doing. I felt like there was a distance between us. I sighed softly and curled up, trying to get at least some sleep.

The following morning, I realized it was 31th. I needed to see Sunny, I wanted to see him. Sideswipe watched me sigh. 'What's wrong?' He asked. 'I want to see Sunny. It's New Year... I thought I could celebrate this with him as well,' I signed. 'You'd like to see him? Come on.' I raised a brow and followed him outside. He drove back to base. 'Follow me and don't track too much attention,' he warned. I nodded and quietly followed him through the halls.

I sprinted over to Sunstreaker as Sideswipe opened the door of his room. He laid in a medical bed. Snoozing. 'Skyla?' I hugged him tightly. 'What are you doing here? Sideswipe! Take her. Why did you do this! She shouldn't be here,' he snapped. 'She wanted to see you,' Sideswipe stated. He grabbed me tightly. 'You promised me something! You promised me to not ever come here again and you broke that promise,' he snapped. I thought he would be happy to see me.

'But you're here. I needed to see you,' I signed. 'I don't care who lays here. Me or someone else but you don't come here,' he snapped. I looked sadly down. 'Go! Piss of,' he snapped. 'She missed you, Sunstreaker. Can't you at least give her a hug or is your heart really that cold and frozen?' Sideswipe snapped. 'You never should've brought her here in the first place,' I snapped while wrapping my arms around her neck. 'Piss off, Skyla,' he whispered dangerously in my ear. I shivered the tune in his voice. He never used that before.

I stepped back when he let go of me. 'Come on, Skyla. He's not in a great mood today,' Sideswipe scowled. I turned around. 'She promised me to never come here again without my permission and I didn't have it to her,' he snapped. 'She only wanted to say hi, no one knows she's here,' he snapped. I flashed Sideswipe a weak smile in appreciation. 'I am not being rude, just reminding her that she shouldn't be here,' he snapped. 'Seriously? She misses you and all she wanted was to see how you were doing. That's all and I sneaked her in here. What's the big deal?' He snapped.

'The risk is too big,' he said. I shook my head and glanced at Sideswipe. 'Come on, let's go,' I signed. He gave a small nod.
