Chapter 22: angry

I hadn't seen Mirage for like the whole day, and what happened this morning really bothered me. I felt bad for him and for some reason it ticked me off a little.

I stalked through the hanger, towards Sideswipe. "Hey, sides?" I asked. His alt-mode came to life and he activated his holoform. "What's wrong, sweetspark?" He asked.

"Why did you mention 'that' this morning? You didn't have to," I said. Sideswipe leaned against his alt-mode. "You're defending him," he chuckled.

"I'm serious Sideswipe! Why did you do it? I haven't seen Mirage all day and I feel bad for him," I said. Sideswipe hummed "what do you know about our race?" He suddenly asked. I frowned confused.

"Let me ask you this... do you know a mech has a valve and spike?" He asked. I shook my head "well they have, femmes only have a valve, just like you... it's very easy for a mech to... interface with another mech," he said.

"Yeah... but what has that to do with this all?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Last time Mirage was in heat cycle... he fragged with a mech," Sideswipe said.

"You don't have to give me details, Sideswipe! I only asked you why you had to embarrass him!"

"His best friend to be exact," Sideswipe said, ignoring what I just said. "It wasn't really nice for Mirage though, he raped him, it was the day he betrayed him and made sure to hurt him in every possible way," Sideswipe said.

I felt sick by hearing this "he mentally hurt him and physically, Mirage stopped interfacing after that, don't forget he's been through a lot, we all have a story, Sia, we have lived for thousands of years, and Mirage... has just like me a difficult past, do you know he's scared to be in the dark? Or to be locked up in small spaces?" Sideswipe asked.

"Why if you knew it would hurt him did you say it this morning? You knew it would hurt him," I spat angrily. "Maybe I went too far, I like teasing him with it because he stopped interfacing, we are still mechs!" He said looking at the ground.

"But he was teasing me this morning!" I objected. "Teasing and interfacing is something different, Cassiopeia! Mirage likes teasing, but he will never go further than, it really traumatized him, it's not my place to tell exactly what happened that day, but I can tell you, I've never seen him so upset," he said.

"I've to go on a patrol," he said before his holoform disappeared. I watched the silvery mech leave and sighed heavily. "Great!" I sulked before I started walking away. I could only hope mirage wasn't spying on me and luckily he wasn't, cause I found him in the archive when Lennox asked me to grab something.

"Hi mirage," I said, smiling at him. He glanced at me but didn't return anything, he focused back on reading his file. It surprised me he was so... closed. He never really was this closed before...

I stood next to him leaning against him, I didn't want him to feel this. Mirage turned his head away "please talk to me... I've done nothing wrong," I whispered. Mirage glanced at me "what do you want me to say!" He growled. I snitched his file out of his hand, making him glare at me.

I gulped and did a step back "I've done nothing wrong, Mirage!" I repeated. He snitched his file back and made himself bigger, dominating me. "Know your place!" He growled, his eyes were hard and he was glaring at me like he had glared at the soldier when he had pushed me.

I looked down in submission. "I just don't get it why you're so angry, what did I do!?" I complained. Mirage was still glaring at me "Don't EVER snitch something out of my hands again! Don't forget I'm higher placed than you! And even you stand up against Mearing, it doesn't mean you can do something to me like that!" He snapped angrily.

I glared back at him "screw you, Mirage! I've always been open with you! I told you everything that happened to me! And if you don't wanna say what's wrong then fine! But don't be mad at me for something I didn't do!" I spat before I turned around to leave.

"You better don't leave!" Mirage growled dangerously. I turned around again, his eyes flickered red for a split second. I gulped, I had never seen him so angry before, and for what?

He stalked over to me, glaring at her "Don't talk to me like that!" He snarled. I felt the tears sting in my eyes, why wasn't he just honest with me? Why did he have to be so angry?

Mirage was still glaring at me like he expected me to say sorry or what. I huffed and pushed him away before I stormed over to the door. "I've never hurt you in any possible way, Mirage! You have hurt me more than I've hurt you!" I spat before I slammed the door closed. I knew it wasn't fair to say that, but I was so ticked off right now. I stormed over to Lennox office, he was talking to Optimus and both were more than surprised as they saw me.

"I've you're file," I grumbled. "Are you okay?" Optimus asked. "Yeah, a little argument with Mirage," I said. "Don't take it personally, after what happened to him, he's careful and he feels threatened if you talk about certain subjects, it's not your fault," Optimus said.

"It started this morning when Sideswipe was teasing him, and know he's mad at me," I said, crossing my arms. Optimus shook his head slightly "You need to be patient with him, mirage has always been difficult, mostly because of what happened to him when he was a sparkling, his best friend betrayed him, and he's... just careful," Optimus said.

"I know, and I tried to support him, but when I tried to talk to him, he just totally ignored me and got mad at me, while I only tried to comfort him cause I saw it really hit him," I said sadly. Optimus stalked over to me "mirage Is difficult, and even I don't know everything, they have really hurt him in the past, maybe Que can help you out, he knows Mirage better than anyone else at the base," Optimus said.

I nodded "I will, thank you," I said. Optimus nodded and I said my goodbye to Optimus and Lennox before I padded over to Que's lap...
