Infected

Apology

Starscream woke up on the medical table, he was tiered from everything that's happened and pain is unbearable. ,, Don't" Knockout said while looking at the tubes on the table,, Unless you want to be strapped down like a prisoner don't move you are in critical state." Starscream looked at the monitor, his results are shocking, virus is poisoning his immune system and it destroyes his layers of metal. He looked at his body, only a tiny bits of paint are left on arms and legs, chest plate is completely peeled off and some paint is missing on his face. Wings are fine and that made him happy, but then he saw Soundwave laying there. ,,How was he doctor" He asked worried. ,, Better than you I might say" Medic answered while turning around to talk with him ,, Virus doesn't spread at all and he is in stable condition, almost untouched unlike you." Starscream smiled knowing that he was safe. ,, About him, why do you care about him so much, I know he's your lover but, why" Knockout asked wondering what Starscream had to say. ,, Well, for the first time ever I felt honest love with him, he was happy to see me, listen about my bragging and problems but most important, he is the only one defending me against Megatron." Knockout must admit that's was true, he is the only bot proving Starscream's innocence, it doesn't help him but, he is trying. ,,I see.ć" Knockout said while looking at his arm, it was full of scratches, not from Autobots but Megatron. ,,He is ready to help me heal after every beating or scolding and that's enough for me, I just want him cured so he can continue to live" Starscream said while looking at his lover. Knockout started crying, he knew that often Starscream would just be in his room after the incidents and heal alone, sometimes out of fear of meeting Megatron sometimes out of imberasment so he didn't bother him. He also remembered his lover Brakedown, how much he loved him and how much he enjoyed his jokes and laugher. When they told him Airachnid killed him he had a mental break down, he cried in his room all night and screamed and no one was there to confront him. That they he promised to help every bot to save his partner and seeing these two brakes his spark. ,, Don't cry Knockout, it will be over soon and we can still go back to do better, don't worry...." Starscream said while falling in the coma again. This was frequent now, his body is fighting to survive and is falling into it to save on energy. Meanwhile Megatron was crying in his room. His nightmares finally came to haunt him, as soon as he close his eyes he sees Starscream's body, completely cowerd in energon and wounds but eyes still glowing with rage and violence. He was both scared and ashamed, what he had become? A monster that only inflicts pain and suffering to people close to him, a tyrant he fought against, the oppressor he despised. He cried like crazy until he saw the familiar figure at the door. ,, Never have I ever thought I would see you crying." Starscream said while entering in still holding on the wall. ,, What are you doing here you should rest" Megatron said while whipping tears of his face. ,, Knockout fell asleep and I thought I should sneak out to see what's going on and I came here and saw the broken glass so I came,what's going on" Starscream asked while sitting down on the bed. Megatron looked at him and said he should be in the med bay where the care was a lot more effective and better. Starscream just shrugged ,,I don't like being there, it's too, how do I say it" ,,To much pain and bad memories in there so I don't want to be in it and you are the reason for it" Megatron said while not lifting his head up to look at him. Only silence can be heard. He was ashamed, for the first time ever he saw the damage he had done to his most important man and how it effected his most loyal friend. Now he finally seems to understand. ,, Megatron." Starscream said ,,can I ask you something",, Yes you can." He answered. ,, What happened" Commander said while looking at his eyes ,, Where is our glorious leader, our famous gladiator that fought for our planet and people, what happened to him" Megatron just sat there,, I... don't know, he died long time ago." Starscream teared up ,,Then who leads us" Megatron looked at him, genuine felling of care and love was in his eyes. ,,I don't know either, I just wish that I died in the space while looking for dark energon." He said. ,,Me too" Starscream added. ,, Pretty honest are we commander" Asked Megatron confused ,, what is going on" ,, I had enough of everything, enough lies, enough pain, suffering and abuse enough life" Starscream said while tears started flowing ,, I'm done with it, I want to know the truth, pain is unbearable, everyone hates me and it would be better of without me I..." Megatron couldn't resist and hugged Starscream tightly while crying desperate.,, PLEASE NO" He yelled,,Don't leave us, we need you, Decepticons are not the same without you." Starscream froze, what is this? ,,You are not mindless drone, you have your own will and you are not blind follower like others that's why you are my second in command, I know that it was my fault I know it is but please don't do anything to yourself please." Megatron said while crying ,, Please for Soundwave." Upon hearing his name Starscream just cried even more.,, I'm not good for him, I only enrage him and cause pain." He said. ,,No he loves you, he defends you for every mistake Starscream you are his everything now." Megatron comforted him. Starscream stopped crying and smiled happy to hear it. Megatron was also smiling because how much Starscream loves Soundwave. Just thinking about him brought an honest smile, not a revengeful grin or smirk. ,, Please don't do anything to yourself it's all my fault that you are like this, I'm sorry for everything." Megatron said ashamed, he knew that Starscream won't trust him that easily but still he is willing to try. ,, Sorry is very powerful word, even I know to use it sparingly and I hope that you are genuine." He said ,,I don't believe in words, I believe in action so show your change and then I will believe it." ,, Thank you Starscream for giving me second chance." Megatron said while slowly getting up ,,We better go to med bay before....." ,, MEGATRON STARSCREAM IS MISSING AND... Oh there you are!ć" yelled Knockout while franticly opening the door. ,,I went on a walk nothing special." Said Starscream while getting up. ,, ARE YOU OUT OF YOU'RE MIND" yelled medic,,LOOK AT YOURSELF, paint is gone, Falling in and out of coma and could get hurt oh that's it I'm strapping you down" ,,TRy meeeee....." Starscream yelled but fell into it again. Megatron carried him into med bay and put him on the table. Knockout immediately strapped him down and took a scan while he woke up. ,, HOW THE SCRAP DID YOU NOT DIE" medic yelled while looking at him, scan showed that 80% of his body is damaged and his sistems are slowly shutting down. ,, Don't know I just stopped feeling it and uncuff me you idiot!ć" Starscream yelled. ,, NO, you ran away and we all got scared so you are staying like that" medic said while looking at the computer. ,, Wait who's we" Megatron asked. ,, Vihecons got scared and searched whole ship for their commander, now everything will go smoothly if you STAY HERE" Medic yelled but Starscream ignored him, he looked at Soundwave. He's Soo peaceful and calming while laying there, glimpse of the computer caught his eyes, Soundwave looked almost untouched from virus, immune system is fully functional and paint clear and shiny. He smiled but than he looked at his scan, 80% of the vital parts are damaged, immune system completely gone and paint peeled alongside his thin layer of metal, he looked horrible. ,,AAAH Starscream don't move!ć" Said Megatron. Knockout looked at him and was shocked, his shoulder part was broken exposing his inside organs. ,,What is wroooooong" He mumbled before falling in the coma again. Knockout immediately put him on life support and sedatives so he doesn't randomly woke up. ,,I need to find cure he's in terrible condition" Knockout said while immediately working on the cure while Megatron left the room trying to figure out how and what to do.
