Merformers: Prime: The Shark and the Betta

Chapter 16: First Love

Orion Eclipse and Altair Comet had been childhood friends for as long as they could remember. They had grown up together, playing and swimming in the ocean around the Kaon palace. But as they grew older, they began to realize that they felt something more for each other.

One day, while they were alone in the palace, they looked at each other and knew that they were meant to be more than friends. They leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, gentle kiss.

It was their first kiss, and it was magical. They felt a spark between them, and they knew that they had fallen in love.

As they pulled away, they looked at each other and smiled. "I love you," Orion said, his voice filled with emotion.

"I love you too," Altair replied, her eyes shining with happiness.

They spent the rest of the day together, enjoying each other's company and reveling in the joy of their newfound love. But eventually, Altair had to return home to Cyberlantis with her parents, Optimus Prime and Elita-One.

Orion said goodbye to her, knowing that he would miss her dearly. When he returned to the palace, he told his parents, Megatron and Firestar, that he had a great time with Altair, but he didn't mention that he had fallen in love with her or that they had shared their first kiss.

As he swam to his royal bedroom, he couldn't help but think about Altair. He lay down on his bed and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

In his dreams, he was back at the ball dance floor in the Kaon palace. He was slow dancing with Altair, and they were lost in each other's eyes. It was a beautiful moment, and he knew that he never wanted it to end.

When he woke up the next morning, he smiled, knowing that he had found something special with Altair. He knew that he would always cherish their first kiss and the love that they shared. Orion Eclipse sat at the breakfast table with his parents, Megatron and Firestar, and his little sister, Vespera. However, his mind was elsewhere, as he couldn't stop thinking about Altair Comet.

He hardly touched his seafood, lost in thought, before finally speaking up. "Dad, Mom, can you tell us how you fell in love?" he asked.

Megatron and Firestar looked at each other, smiling. "Of course, son," Megatron replied. "It's a long story, but I'll try to give you the short version."

He began to tell the story of how he met Firestar after she had run away from Cyberlantis to escape from being forced to marry her friend Inferno, who was obsessed with her. Megatron explained how he had been a ruthless warlord who had wanted to conquer Cyberlantis, but Firestar had warmed his cold heart with her love and compassion, reforming him for good.

Firestar chimed in, adding her own perspective. "Your father was a bit of a challenge at first," she said, smiling at Megatron. "But I knew that deep down, he was a kind and caring person. We used to write songs and poetry together, and we would go out on romantic activities whenever we could."

Orion and Vespera listened intently, amazed by their parents' love story. They had heard bits and pieces of it before, but it was always nice to hear it again.

As they finished their breakfast, Orion couldn't help but feel grateful for his parents' love and the example that they set for him and his sister. And, of course, he couldn't stop thinking about Altair, wondering where their newfound love would take them. As the morning turned into afternoon, Megatron and Firestar found themselves alone in their private quarters. Megatron looked at Firestar, his love for her shining in his eyes.

"Firestar, my love," he said, taking her hands in his. "I have something to share with you."

He began to recite old love poetry that he had written for her years ago, each word filled with passion and adoration. Firestar listened, her heart swelling with love for her husband.

After Megatron finished, Firestar smiled, her own voice filling the room as she sang a love song that she had written for him. Her voice was sweet and melodic, and Megatron felt himself getting lost in the music.

As the song ended, Megatron leaned in and kissed Firestar deeply. They held each other close, their bodies pressed together as they swayed to the rhythm of the music.

Megatron whispered sweet nothings in Firestar's ear, reminding her of how much he loved her and how grateful he was to have her by his side. They slow danced, lost in their own world, as they remembered their wedding day.

"I remember when we exchanged vows," Megatron said, his voice filled with emotion. "You were still pregnant with our son, Orion Eclipse. I knew then that we were meant to be together forever."

Firestar smiled, tears in her eyes. "I knew it too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I love you, Megatron."

"I love you too, Firestar," Megatron replied, his voice filled with love and devotion.

They continued to slow dance, holding each other close, as their love filled the room. They knew that they were meant to be together forever, and they would never take their love for granted.
