One of us is lying - Mirage/Dino

🇮🇹 Chapter 13. Idea

'Van you forgive me?'
'Already did.'
'No, you did not.'
'I did.'
'Then why are you avoiding me?'
He yanked at my arm and forced me to look at him. I hate if people grab my arm like that. 'Don't touch me,' I snapped and shove him against the wall. 'I told you I'm sorry.' I snorted and shook my head. 'You did, but doesn't mean we are best buddies now,' I snapped and turned around. 'I get it. You've all the reason to be mad and I'm deeply sorry for trying to dig into your life.'

'What do you want me to say, Dino?'

'I'm trying to say sorry. I don't want this. I really like you, and I made a mistake.' He blocked my way. Megatron warned me. Dino is smart and he sees things no one else does. That's what makes him such an outstanding spy. He's ten times better than I am. All the things I can learn from him... I brushed it off. I can't think like that. Dino is my enemy. He's not a friend or a teacher. 'Please... I'm sorry.' I sighed. I just can't hate him. Despite my attempts, I just can't.

'Alright.'

He frowned. 'Don't do it again.' Dino brushed some strands behind my ear. A dark blush spread over my cheeks. 'Alright, mi amore.' The words made me shiver. I was pretty much aware of what it meant. Realizing he almost got killed by Starscream made me mentally grimace. I didn't want him to die. From all mechs. 'Thank you.' He pecked my cheek. 'You're blush is adorable,' he whispered in my ear. I slapped his arm. 'Shut up.' He chuckled and passed me. I turned around as well and prompted off to hide my embarrassment. Ugh. Megatron will murder me if he finds out o start to have the hots for the spy. He's just so sweet and caring. I grew up with Decepticons. They're harsh and mean. They laugh if I fail or hurt myself. The Autobots don't.

I chuckled. She's fluttered. Doesn't happen often to see her shy. Sky is a tough cookie for sure. I pushed open the door to the main hanger and slowly made my way through the crowds. I still hated the fact I couldn't read her, but I'm sure that she'll open up even more eventually. I know I promised I wouldn't dig into her life again, but I did. I tried to find everything I could to make a personal dossier, but there was simply nothing to find. As if she didn't exist.
I couldn't wrap my head around. It doesn't make any sense. I know her age, but that's pretty much it. I doubt the name she gave us is her real name. I looked through the missing child reports from, which took me a while. Just as I was about to give up, I found a report about a baby girl that went missing 19 years ago. Of course there are more babies that went missing during that period of time, but the eyes of this particular baby stood out from the rest. Similar to Sky's eyes. I looked at the name.

Aurora Evelyn Smith

Both her parents died, but she still had some family. Grandparents, aunt and uncle. I saved this image in my system. She hadn't lied to me. Sky did went missing and was given a new identity, but why was she stolen? And who stole her? Did she ever had the urge to figure out her birth parents? So many questions lingered through my head. I couldn't find any peace. I spotted her walking over the hallway of the second floor. She's hot and she's good at what she's doing. I worked with several humans, but none of them were as good as she is. Her way of thinking and acting is remarkable for her age. I hopped out of my alt-mode. Maybe I can get her to work for me. I hopped out of my alt-mode. Maybe I can make a deal with Lennox...

Tiredly, I headed back to my room. I needed a shower and rest a little bit before joining the soldiers for dinner. On my way, I bumped into Mirage. 'Hey, I was looking for you.' I raised a brow. 'You were?' He nodded. 'Yeah, I have an offer.' I cocked my head to the side. 'Right...' I took a step back. 'I want you to start working for me.' My eyes widened. 'Start working for you?' I asked in utter disbelief. He nodded. Is he for real? He wants me to work for him?

'I'm working on some Decepticon activity. We will be a great team,' he stated. It means I've to be a double spy. 'I don't know...' he shook his head. 'Come on! We can be a great team!' He exclaimed. I should've known something like this was going to happen. 'No. My answer is no!' I snapped. His face dropped in disappointment.

I passed him. 'Sky, please... why not?' I groaned and turned around. 'Because I like what I'm doing. Just—' I sighed. 'Figure it out yourself. You don't need me,' I snapped. 'You can learn from me.' I snorted. 'Shut up about it, Mirage. My answer is no and it will stay a no!'

'Because I dig into your past?'

I turned around a second time. 'Maybe. I don't trust you. Just leave me alone.' I waved my hand dismissively. 'Oh come on! You said we were good earlier today.' I rolled my eyes. 'Yeah, I did, but that doesn't mean I fully trust you again! I don't wanna work for you. Go find somebody else. Stop bothering me in general!' I exclaimed angrily. Mirage took a step back. This wasn't not the reaction he had hoped for. 'I'm bloody serious about it, Mirage. Leave me alone and stop bothering me! I'm busy enough as it is and I don't need you trying to talk me into working for you! It will never happen, so get it out of your damn head!' I shouted before storming off.
