Gotta go fast

Chapter 12

She shifted on the bed so that she now faced inwards, she stretched her arm out over the bed spreading herself out and felt no one there. Her eyes fluttered open to see that she was alone. She smiled as the morning sun shone in through the window. She sighed happily as she sat up and climbed out of bed. She presumed that Knock Out left during the night probably because he was called away by the decepticons but she knew that at the first chance he would get that he would be back even if it was for a couple of minutes. The first thing she did was have a shower knowing that she hadn't had a proper one since before the Unicron incident but she had made sure she was clean with wipes. It didn't take her long to wash and dry herself.

Before she was about to put her clothes on she heard Knock Out arrive in through the doors. For Luna it hadn't been long since she had seen him but she couldn't help but be excited that he was back. In a rush she put on blue jean shorts and a purple tank top. "Luna?" she heard him call for her so she quickly tied her hair back and ran out the door sliding down the stairs. She saw him crouched down his face pointed down at the floor immediately Luna's lit up face saddened. She knew something was wrong it was unlike Knock Out to be so down and quiet. Luna slowed her pace as she approached him. "Knock Out" she whispered

He responded by slowly lifting his head to her, he tried to manage a small smile but it was clear that for him it was hard. She lifted her hand to his face placing it delicately on his chin. "Tell me"

He was amazed that she wanted to hear what was bothering him, even if it was the smallest thing he knew she would listen to him. She hand wrapped around her and lifted her up as he stood and walked outside. She held on to his thumb as she waited for him to talk. He sighed before doing so. "Something happened to Breakdown"

She gasped clenching his thumb tighter he could feel her touch which made him relax. "Is he okay?"

"He's dead. Megatron sent him and commander dreadwing to terminate Arachnid but she terminated him first and then his body was carted away by the human organisation called Mech" Knock Out grew angry as he spoke, his spark ached to return the favour to both Arachnid and Mech. His grip around Luna got tighter as he thought about the death of his partner. She moaned due to the increased pressure and got worried that he was lost in his thoughts and wouldn't hear her. Luna began hitting his hand at her sudden struggle he realised what he was doing and released his grip around her. I'm sorry Luna" he was hesitant turning his hand so that she was now sitting in his palm.

Luna took a minute to breathe she could tell that he didn't mean it. "I understand Knock Out. I know what it feels like to lose someone" she put her hand over her heart taking a minute to compose herself as she thought about her grandparents "It hurts and all you want to do is get payback but what you have to realise is that something are out of our control and to do what is right you have to give up the things you want like objects or maybe people" Knock Out's optics widened at what she was implying. Was she suggesting that he give her up? He couldn't do that.

"I'm sorry Knocks but I can't help but feel responsible, if you weren't with me then Breakdown would still be alive. Last night..." she was cut from finishing her sentence.

"Was the best. If I were on the warship Breakdown may be alive but you wouldn't be, you think after what we did to Billy and Ricky that they would let you off lightly. It was a decision you or Breakdown"

Luna turned away from him her heart sank as the guilt rose. "But you chose wrong. I'm a 24 year old human and I'll live to what 90 if I'm lucky. I'm just a waste of time" Knock Out brought her closer to his face, he ran a finger down her bad to comfort her more.

"Luna if I could redo it all again then I'd still choose you" she peaked up hearing that he cared for her deeply. Smiling at him he gave her his signature grin. "I love you Knock Out"
