Lost in bayverse book 1 [ rewriting ]

Chapter 8. Having a talk

"Why did you leave?"

"Because I couldn't watch it. I didn't want to see all your injuries..." Sideswipe said as he stood in the doorway. "Why? Why didn't you wake me up? Why haven't told me?" He asked. "I didn't want to complain... I didn't want to be a bother," I said quietly. He snorted and slammed the door closed with force. He was pissed, which is rare to see.

"How dare you! I care a lot about you! Okay... and you're not a bother. Like it's your fault you got beaten up. You didn't ask for it, Skylar. I want to keep you save, I want to protect and support you, but I can't if you don't talk to me!" He spat. I flinched and looked away from him.

"Look at me!" He snapped. Anxiously, I glanced at him. I hated it if someone was mad at me, especially if it's Sideswipe. He's not a mech to get mad easily. "You had a tough day..."

"So? I have had days which were ten times busier and tougher. It's not a reason to not tell me the damn truth!" He snapped. I flinched again and fiddled nervously with my hands. "Look at me when I am talking to you, Skylar!" He snapped. He's definitely one pissed of mech. It's so unlike him, but when he's mad, it's really scary. "I am sorry."

He sighed and crossed his arms. "Really! You should know better," he scowled while turning his head away. "Please don't be mad anymore," I murmured. He sucked in a breath and settled besides me,— rubbing my head. "Don't tell me bullshit. I want to know the truth! Clear?" He asked. I gave a small nod and wrapped my arms around his neck,— pulling him in a tight hug.

"Sorry, I really am."

He hummed, "it's alright, sweetspark."
"Just recover, alright? Then I go out for another patrol and see you in about two hours," he said before kissing my head and getting up. "Are you sure things are alright between us?" I asked before he could leave. "Yes, but talk to me. Communicate." I nodded, "I am sorry." Sideswipe nodded and left me here alone.

Ratchet glanced at me as he walked in. "You pissed him off?" He asked. I gave a small nod. "He really seems to enjoy your company and like you. Why did you lie?" He asked. "Because... I was ashamed maybe. I don't know," I sighed. "He's reasonable," he said and shrugged. "You're giving him a compliment?" I asked. Ratchet rolled his eyes and didn't reply.

I was released later today and took a shower. Sideswipe came back two hours later and smiled, wrapping his arm around me and kissed my cheek. "You need rest," he stated and pushed me down. He still eyed a little grumpy though. I decided not to argue and just lay down.

The next few days went fine. I was healing perfectly and felt good. The swelling has reduced and I could walk around normally. Unfortunately, Sideswipe had been very busy, so I was entertaining myself mostly. The other day, I had decided to start working out to get just as in shape as Sideswipe. I am already very slim but I wanted more muscles.

I was dead already after two works outs. Perhaps I shouldn't try to use a lot of weights. Maybe start off easy and build it up. After an hour, my muscles hurt and were trembling. I decided it was enough and retreated back to Sideswipe's room, taking a nice hot shower. I was absolutely exhausted, so tired that I barely heard Sideswipe walk in. "Laying in bed already?"

I jolted and looked up. "My bed," he purred and sat on the edge. "What's the matter?" He asked. "Just tired." I felt embarrassed. I suck and wanted tell him when I got better at it. "Alright," he kissed my forehead and got up.

The next morning, I was sore. Everything hurt and I could barely move. Sideswipe laughed at me as he saw me struggle to jump out of bed. "What's wrong with you?" He chuckled. "Muscle aches I guess." He raised a brow while snickering. "From what?" He grinned. I vaguely answered him and waved it off. Following Sideswipe's fitness schedule was a bad a idea, now gonna lie but in the end it will pay off. Just need to take it easy and have patience.

Sideswipe studied me for a moment. "You look really sore. Shall I grab some aspirines?" He asked. "You would do me a big favor," I said. He kissed my head and passed. "Anyway, I need to hurry up a little bit. I need to give a training session. Don't do things I would do and take a hot shower," he suggest. I nodded and kissed his cheek before he started to rush and left.

I headed for the messhall once I was finally done dressing up. My thoughts were with Sideswipe. I was so lucky to have him. All my life I've been dying to meet him and now I can have him all for myself and be his roommate. It's not always easy to be his room mate. He's not very good at cleaning and I guess mechs will be mechs. A grinned at the thought before taking a bite.

I coughed as I felt a very hard slap on my back. "Hey!" I snapped and looked up. Harvey smirked at me. "What's wrong?" He cooed and laughed. "Leave me alone, Harvey," I sulked. He shrugged and sat down. "Or what? Gonna tell your guard dog?!" He scoffed and laughed at his own bad joke. "Stupid bitch," he sneered. "I know you shot me," I snapped. "That's a big accusation, Sky." I glared at him. "You can't prove it," he said eventually. "We both know you did because I humiliated you and you're a snipper," I said. "Not the only sniper, by the way," he said. I rolled my eyes. "I don't like people like you,"

"Are you threatening me?"
"Die you hear a threat then?"
"It sounded like a threat, yes."
"Let me tell you this; I don't have trouble beating you up."
"I know you don't," I growled.

He kicked my shin before he got up. "Do you really think people are waiting for you? No one asked you to show up here and bother the Autobots. You think you have privileges but you're wrong. With time, Sideswipe will spend more time without than with you. At some point you will annoy him to death," he snapped. I kept glaring at him while he stormed off.
