Gwain-Prime Saga (Gwain Saga/Transformers Prime)

Chapter 14.5: Terms

While the Autobots were sent out to investigate what's going on with the concerning discovery of Energon, Queen Gwain had sent a message to Ami, telling her to stay by Geo within the castle perimeters.

And so, within the walls of the palace, Ami and Geo simply sat next to each other on a clean white stone bench in one of the hallways of the castle. They both were doodling on a large sketchpad together, trying to come up with something creative with both of their art-styles in order to pass the time. On the sketchpad they shared together, they drew all sorts of things: buildings, flowers, Chibi portraits of their friends and themselves, little mini-comics, and more. At one point, Ami looks over to Geo's face. He had a smile, but not as energetic as it usually is whenever he's doing drawings with Ami. It was more of a calm smile. A... more somber one.

Geo notices Ami's gaze and the expression on her face, and raises his eyebrow amusedly at her, albeit weakly. Ami's expression of a slight smile turned to slight concern as she put one hand on his cold yet smooth right cheek. The message was clear from Ami: "Why don't you look so happy?"

Geo only sighs and rests his pencil against the sketchpad, and his gaze becomes empty as he looks back at the sketchpad. He looks over at the doodles of himself, Ami, their friends (including the Autobots even), Queen Gwain and Queen Twain, and some others. He thinks back to how he came here to Teora: A young man who fell from the sky after sitting under a tree back in his world and falling through a portal. While tangled in vines, he met Ami, who helped him. He then explored Teora's geography and wildlife and later saved Ami from a pack of wolves thanks to the help of a mysterious white-haired woman. Geo brought Ami back only to be promptly beaten up by Gwain the next morning and nearly executed due what's essentially the queen being racist against humans. He was spared thanks to Ami. Geo then soon met the rest of Ami's friends, as well as Luna. Had some adventures through dungeons and the desert, had himself run over by a train in an attempt to save Ami, visited Bride's Island where he was controlled by the Bride Ghost, and then some more adventures and eventually met Jack and the Autobots, and now... Geo' here.

And yet he still knew the grim truth. A truth he had set on the back of his mind until the recent nightmare which Ami also saw into. He's not gonna live for long. Everyone else lives, but he will be the sacrifice in the end of it all in order to satisfy the universal balance. One soul, his soul, for the sake of everyone else's soul... how it's going to turn out, he won't know. And yet,

Ami begins to catch up on what Geo is thinking, seeing his darkening expression and his gaze over the character doodles of themselves and all the people they knew. She remembered his gruesome nightmare, and the message behind it. She knew that Geo was thinking of the end... and she did not like it one bit. She knew that Geo is willing to stick around with her as long as he can, but even Ami knew there will be a point of time that judgment has to come, because secrets cannot be kept forever. Soon every Teoran will have to know that Geo's a human, and Geo's mercy will be in their hands. Overall, Geo's mercy will be in the very world he's trying to help and protect, yet Teorans still do not have the highest regards when it comes to humans, and that's only putting it lightly. Gwain's the best example of that.

But Ami did not want that. She knew that racially discriminating against someone just because he's different and belonged to a kind that Teorans once fought against thousands of years ago was wrong. Geo had nothing to do with that stupid past. Ami knew her morals, and racism was not one of them. Geo is more than just Ami's new best friend. It's grown beyond that. Beyond running across the grass fields and flowers with him. Beyond having a crush that soon grew into infatuation. Beyond just her and Geo confessing to each other. Ami loves Geo, and he loves her back equally. And for Ami, that is the truth carved into the stone passages of time.

Ami proceeds to take the sketchpad away and set it aside, which promptly brings Geo to look at her curiously. He then realizes what Ami's thinking, and his face went to one that said "Oh... you know...". Ami immediately wastes no time climbing up over him, forcing him to lean back a little bit as she held his face in her hands. Geo's face was apologetic, wanting to forget what he might've been thinking. But Ami wasn't letting go that easily. Her face is one of determination, and yet there were tears faintly visible. She needed to come to terms with Geo, because pleading will not change any outcome. Geo also knew this, and seeing Ami plead with tears for any reason in any way, shape, or form always breaks his heart. He takes off his visors carefully, making sure the perimeters were clear. He tries to wipe away Ami's tears, smiling innocently at her like he usually does.

Putting the whole ordeal of Geo's unpredictable demise being around the corner anytime, Ami and Geo were still like innocent, naive children around each other. They may be mature, but they still act very young. Ami's the joyful little bunny girl that hops around, and Geo's the little mouse her size. Both always had a comedically comical smile like chibi drawings whenever they explored together outside the castle. It was, and still is, the most endearing sight to see the two just play around, like a childhood ship that one has in a kids' cartoon. They liked each other. They needed each other. They wanted each other... and Ami and Geo both knew that they needed to delay the inevitable, and when it was time, create something together that will last longer than them before they part...

Meanwhile, Ami got to work pushing him down on the bench, her hair sprawled out all around both of their heads like a curtain. Under the veil, she looks closely at Geo's human eyes. She barely ever gets to see his pure eyes due to how often he has to wear the EXE Visor, so seeing him as a living being and instead of a robot was always refreshing for her. Their faces less than a breath away, both wait for one of them to slowly speak up, but neither of them do.

Ami decides to finally break the silence with a soft kiss to the lips, while Geo lets her take the lead. This soon intensifies with Ami pretty much eating Geo out, almost devolving into a full-blown make-out session. Geo was almost caught off-guard by Ami's intensity. He obviously knew that Love is literally Ami's element, but he didn't expect it to break beyond an innocent bond that they initially had when they first confessed.

The entire time, none of them had spoken a single word to each other while maintaining their silent demeanors. But they both had the same goal terms signed off by one another in preparation for the future:

Love each other, even after death.

Cherish every moment of this limited mortal realm and keep exploring the beyond together.

Create something that will mark their union before death does them part. Something that will last longer than them.

Something...

Or what about creating...

Someone?

Someone... new and young to this world that symbolizes their eternal union.

Not yet now, but someday...
