It's A Love Story (Armada Starscream x Reader)

Certainty

Alexis was so grateful for Starscream's gift that she and the kids wanted to thank him and what better way to do so than to make a gift of their own?

You heard about this, and offered to help Alexis, to which she gladly obliged.

During the past 3 days, the Autobots and the kids saw a change in how you and Starscream interacted around them. Starscream was seemingly more casual and open when you were with him in front of others, even though at the same time the both of you grew extremely shy against each other.

No, you hadn't told him yet that you love him. Nor has he told you that. It was only a matter of time. And as luck would have it, this love he felt for you would change the clenching of fate's hand, if only for a little while.

The surprise goes off as it does.

Before Billy and Fred got to the Autobots with the eavesdropping news, Starscream went to have a word with you at your normal training ground.

——————————

He explained everything to you. He held you in his servo at eye level.

"(N)... He wants me to take the Star Saber and the Skyboom Shield to him. He says I will be accepted back into the Decepticons."

You frowned, and turned away. "You know how I feel about that."

Starscream was silent. His spark felt guilty, and confused.

You turned back to him, holding a neutral expression. "But I'm not going to say anything. This is your choice. if you truly believe you can't live among Autobots, I believe you."

Starscream looked away from you, whispering his true thoughts.

"I don't feel welcome here."

He felt his cheekplates warm ever so slightly. "You are the only one who gets me. And.. I don't want to let you go.."

You felt yourself blush lightly. You walked closer to his chassis and helm. You folded your hands behind your back, resisting the urge to reach a hand out to his cheekplate. You looked to his optics as he tried to ignore your gaze.

"Star.. You left for a reason. Please.. Don't hurt yourself."

Starscream closed his optics for a minute, before having a realization. He needed to say so now. He abruptly brought his sight back to you.

"(N)."

You blinked. "Huh? Yes?"

He gave a light outtake.

"I don't know anything right now.. Except for you."

You cheeks became more stained with red. Starscream felt his cheekplates paint themselves with a dusted light red. "A-after the mars mission... I now know how I feel about you."

You suddenly realized what he was going to say, your irises growing a little.

He intaked a breath.

"I love you."

Your blush increased immediately, and for a second you were silent. You felt yourself take a step closer.

"I... I love you too."

"Really?" He was dumbfounded.

"Yeah.. And I don't care what others would think about us. I really do love you."

He felt a small smile curve his dermas. "I'm so glad to hear that."

A small silence passed.

"Are we supposed to do something after this?"
