Sing me to sleep - terror twins -

+ Chapter 31. Don't be selfish now, you should trust me, brother

Skyla massaged my shoulders. I groaned at the touch and feeling. She moved to my neck and and scalp. 'Hmm.' I smiled while looking into her eyes. 'You're tensed,' she whispered. 'Stressed out lately,' I mumbled. She pressed a kiss on my forehead. 'You Wanna talk about it?' She questioned. 'No, I think I am going to lay down for a nap,' I said. She nodded and let go of me. 'What are you going to do?' I asked. She hugged, 'not sure yet.' She grasped a blanket and tossed it my way. I was so happy I could lay down and shut my eyes for a moment.

Skyla sat on the edge. 'You feel cold.'
'Just tired, that's all,' I replied and curled up. The femme kissed the top of my head and smiled. 'Sleep well, Sunny.' I hummed and curled up on the couch, closing my eyes. I listened to her soft footsteps with that sound, I fell asleep. I dreamed about her. I never dreamed about a femme before. The outcome of the dream however, wasn't pleasant by any mean I woke up, panting and sweaty. Prime cant know about her. He'll take her away from me. I headed downstairs and found her sitting on the couch with my brother.

It really started to bother me how close she was with Sideswipe. She's supposed to do all this with me. Skyla really started to get comfortable around my brother. I liked her, in many ways. Both looked up as they heard me sigh. 'What's wrong? Why that sigh?' Sideswipe asked. 'It's nothing,' I muttered. Skyla raised a brow before sliding off the couch and following me. 'What's wrong?' She signed. I shook my head. 'Nothing, nothing. Just still a little sleepily, that's all,' I said and waved my hand. Skyla stared at me for several moments. 'You're jealous, isn't it?' she whispered. I snorted before glancing at her. 'I am jealous, why would I be jealous?' I scoffed. She raised a brow and crossed her arms. 'I am not jealous, alright?!' I snapped. She snorted, 'I bet,' she muttered before walking back to my brother.

I can't stand issues right. 'I need a walk,' I scowled and grabbed my shoes. The two glanced at me. 'You're pissed.'
'I am not pissed. I just need some fresh air,' I said and slammed the front door shut behind me. I crossed the neighborhood. I rubbed my face. I was ticked off. Skyla should spent time with me! I took her in, I cared for her all those months and now my brother showed up, she doesn't like to hang out with me anymore. I crossed the road. What is wrong with me? I thought she liked me. Or at least enough that she would still ha g out with me.

I didn't return until that night. Skylar instantly walked up. 'Where have you been?' She angrily signed. I pushed her aside. 'Sunstreaker!' She shouted. Both my brother and I froze. She never talked louder than whispering. She glared daggers at me. 'Where have you been!' She signed again. She's kinda creepy when she's mad. 'Out,' I replied.

'You're soaked! You have been wandering through the rain for hours! Go upstairs and take a shower.'

It wasn't a question, it was a demand. I glanced at my brother. He looked away from me. 'Fine.' I marched upstairs and showered. Skyla later walked into my room, handing me a plate of pasta. 'Thanks.' I sat down but she grabbed my jaw, forcing my head up. 'Don't ever leave like that again! I was worried about you.' I grabbed her wrist. 'And don't ever grab my jaw like that,' I snarled back. 'What is your problem, Sunstreaker.'

'There is no problem,' I snapped. 'There is because you left without telling me or your brother where you went! Any idea how worried I was,' she spat. I glared at her. 'I don't need to tell you anything! If I want to leave then I leave and you can't change my mind,' I snapped back. 'You're good at so many things, except communicating,' she snapped back. 'Yeah, well... you seem to be very good friends with my brother lately!'

She snorted. 'No, I am serious about it. You care more about him than about me. Am I not important anymore?' I asked. She slumped in the armchair. 'What are you talking about? Why do you think that?' She asked confused. 'Because you never look at me anymore,' I said. 'That's not true. You're just gone a lot lately. I thought you wanted me to get befriended with Sideswipe,' she said. 'Yes, but he takes you out for dates and steals you from me.'

'You're jealous.'
'I guess.'
'Why didn't you say it sooner?'
'Because I am scared to lose you.'

'You wouldn't lose me,' she said quietly. 'No?' She shook her head and smiled at me. 'No, Sunny. I care about you.'
I glanced at her lips before I leaned in and kissed her. She didn't pull back but leaned in as well. Her soft warm lips on mine sent shivers down my spine. I pulled her on my lap and hugged her. 'Do you want to be my girlfriend?' I asked. She smiled and softly kissed me.

'I am glad I took you in,' I whispered against her lips. She smiled and kissed me again. Her lips feel perfect on mine. 'But you need to talk to me more,' she said. 'How ironic, you barely talk yourself,' I said. 'Only when I am around you,' she said. I glanced at her. 'True.'
'Eat your food.'

I rolled my eyes and slumped back in the office chair, eating my food. 'It's good,' I said. 'Of course, I made it.' I snorted. 'You start take over my arrogance,' I purred. A smile stretched on her lips. 'I guess I had a good teacher,' she said. She took my plate and headed downstairs while Sideswipe came in. 'Sideswipe, shut the door.'

'You never guess.'

He shook his head. 'I have a girlfriend. My first official one,' I said while smirking. Sideswipe raised a brow, taken back by the news. 'Sorry, what?' He asked confused. 'I am serious about it! I have a freaking girlfriend,' I snorted. 'How?' He asked. 'I just kissed her and she liked it. Dude, I never had a girl like Skyla. She really likes me. She doesn't want to use me like everyone else,' I said. Sideswipe hummed. 'I am not going to mess this up. I am going to do everything to make her fall in love with me even more. Over the last few days I felt so depressed because I was jealous with you. I thought it wasn't possible for a mech like me to find a girl and I did. She's human fo course but—' Sideswipe raised his hand.

'Sunstreaker, do you think it's a good idea?'

I raised a brow. 'Why not? I will be good for her. I've always been good for her... or at least I tried.' Sideswipe shook his head and sat down. 'Sunstreaker, honestly I am happy for you but... between you and me, this isn't going to work out. I never worked out before,' he said. 'This time is different, Sideswipe. I can feel it.'
'Yeah? What about Prime? You can't go in public with her. One because there's always someone around the corner. They're patrolling 24/7, even around this area and second of all, Cooper. We both know, she's not save as long as he's around and now Eden joined the base? If they start talking when they figured out she lives here, you bring her in danger.'

'Mauve Eden already has evil plans because she has seen you and now has something to black mail you with,' he said. 'So what do you suggest then?' I asked. 'Maybe I should take her fo a safer place. Another state.'
'Take her?' I repeated hatred. 'Yes, you want the best for her, right?' He questioned. 'Yeah, but—'

'Then trust me. She'll be fine.' Sideswipe got up. 'But I like her. Why don't I take her? It's more likely for me to disappear off the radar for some time than you,' I said. 'You want her to be safe or not?' He asked. 'I can keep her safe but I can't lose her. She really makes me smile and to let her go—' he cut me off again. 'You're selfish. Like you've always been. You out her in danger so you can be happy? Prime will take away from you and you'll never see her again,' Sideswipe stated. 'Come on, I am your brother, okay? You can trust me. She'll be perfectly fine and I'll take a good care of her,' he stated.

'Till you fixed the problem,' he added. I sighed and slumped back in the chair. 'She's my first girlfriend. I feel like I should go. A mech should always protect their femme and she's my femme,' I stated in a matter-of-fact-tone. 'Yeah, and you are not like the other mechs. You kill without mercy so kill Cooper or wherever is behind everything and than you get her back, till then, I take her to a save place,' he stated. 'I can't agree with you, brother.'

'You have too. Will you ever forgive yourself if she dies and you could've prevented it but were too selfish?'

I looked down. 'Precisely. I take her,' he said before exiting the room. I was mad. Since when does Sideswipe make the decisions around here. I don't want him to go with her, even I know he'll protect her. I rubbed my forehead and sighed again. Why is everything so complicated. I want Skyla for myself, I want to spent time with her but no, Cooper has to ruin everything again. I looked up. How much success will I have killing him? If I kill him, someone else will take offer and kidnap Skyla anyway.

Perhaps I can try something else, something he won't forget anytime soon...
