Just You and Me (Knockout x Reader)

Chapter 27: Emotional Healing

The desert valleys stretched for miles. The mountains touched the edges of the light blue sky, a slight breeze kicking up dirt. The road became more bumpy since outside the city limits it was rarely maintained. The hum of a loud exhaust and the ac blowing were music to your ears. You sat in the red leather seats still fidgety. You keep crossing your legs every other minuet. The thumping in your chest wasn't receding either. His driving was more erratic. He knew what he was doing for say. However, he was speeding more in between cars and changing lanes. Before he would be careful he would never try and scare you. Smokescreen was the same way. But this time him driving like this bugged you. You had yet to figure out what his intentions were. He finally began slowing down coming up to an overpass. You notice a cliff edge coming interview your eyes widened when he started speeding towards it.

"Knockout stop!" You thought four split second would you rather risk jumping out of the door or being thrown off a cliff with a 200+ foot drop.

You didn't hesitate and grabbed the doorhandle And pride the seatbelt off. You began to lunge forward and were halfway out of the door when tires squealed loudly. Knockout transformed around you as he slid across the desert to grab you. Your eyes were squeezed shut you took a few moments before you opened them to be met with Knockout looking straight at you with worry written all over.

"What the fuck was that!" He looked angry. "You could've broken something or gotten killed we were going about 85 miles an hour." He paced around throwing his arms up talking with his digits dramatically.

"I...I thought You were going to throw me off of it." You struggled with your wording. He was taken aback. He looked confused and his emotions clearly deceived.

"I can't believe to think what fathomed your tiny human brain to think that. I mean are you serious right now?" He was definitely pissed.

"I figured you fucking hated me for what I did. So maybe you would've tried and kill me. You're a con after all and revenge is like your calling card." You stated looking down feeling embarrassment.

He took to one knee and kneeled down to your level. He sighed before taking his slender index finger and pulling it under your chin forcing you to face him.

"Look yes I did hate you. But i also forgive you. I wouldn't hurt you. No matter how much rage I had. Hell I could have killed that autobot, but I didn't because I still had respect for you."

You were in shock while fighting a blush as he removed his finger from your face and placed his hand on his knee.

"I kept thinking about you like haunting memories kept flooding my mind. The thought of you with Smokescreen and just thinking about the shit y'all did together. Breakdown would mention you. Every little reminder drove me crazy. Even my master noticed it. He was less then pleased and scolded me for it. So I just snapped and exposed myself."

Flashback~~

"Knockout!" Thundering pads echo through the hall heading towards the good doctors lab. He popped his helm through the doorway.

"Knockout i'm calling you. Appear." He said scanning the room for the mech.

Knockout came from the other room with the fresh coat he just did on his paint. "Sorry my Lord, I was working on mending Breakdown's wounds."

"You have been a good cause for us cons. Medical staff is fleeting and you have been slacking. Several troopers informed me of you shoeing them away, when two were injured from battle. One of them sustained to his injuries. We cannot afford this. I need all the cons I can acquire into my ranks." He frowned annoyed crossing his arms.

Knockout sighed and smacked his lips. "Oh really as if you haven't pummeled a vicon into the ground just because before. Don't even get onto me for slacking. What the hell does Starscream do? Not jack shit! You need me and you know it! I'm the only reason you're still alive Megatron." Knockout snapped realizing how harmful his phrase was. He flinched expecting to be smacked across the face or worst.

Megatron stood there stunned if not amused he closed his eyes and took a deep breath calming himself. "I'm going to let that go this one time. But what I was going to say is, you need to deal with whatever you're going through because it's affecting your work. I'm assuming it's related to that human pet you hang with. Makes my spark cringe. How Cybertronian and let alone a Decepticon warrior can mingle with such a peasant creature.." He spat as Knockout listened.

"Look do as you must, off my ship. I don't care if you see this flesh bag. But do not bring her here. I have every right to squish her beneath my feet then. You have been warned. I accept you to be better by the end of the week and to step up your energon production process." Megatron finished and left the red mech stunned.

"Yes, my lord." Knockout bowed as Megatron exited the med bay leaving the doctor to soak in what he was just informed.

~Flashback Over~

You sat on the ground as Knockout finished.

"I had to see you to get these emotions off my spark." He said.

"I appreciate you telling me this." You were stunned.

"I was so stressed over you. I was hurt, I never thought you would do what you did to me. I was genuinely in love with you...I...I still am." He looked away and turned slightly red.

You were a loss for words it was almost too much. You knew he was upset and depressed for finding out you were cheating. But you figured he would move on, but him admitting his feelings threw you into a spiral. You were just now exploring your feelings for Smokescreen. You had slowly moved on from Knockout, and this just confesses things even more. He looked at you nervous.

"(Y/n) you good?" He asked.

"Yeah, I..uh I'll be fine just a lot right now honestly." You stated.

"I get that."

You sat with him on the cliff as the sun was starting to set. It was pretty as the colors were reflecting off of Knockout's flashy new paint. Your cheeks became pink when he smirked at you. You darted your gaze out onto the horizon.

"You're still not slick doll."

Your heart was going to beat out of your chest.
