Escapism

In Denial

(Human Robot size)

A young, caring, and lovable mech stood with his friends as they chatted. Broad shoulders, robust body, slim waist and a smol stature, perfect to be in a certain someone's arms. His soft and innocent blue eyes glistened. A beautiful smile bloomed like a sunflower and his soft laughter sounded heavenly. Sparkles and flowers blooming seemed to surround this young mech like he was the god of beauty.

"Megatron...?"

Megatron turned his head to look at his buddy, Soundwave. The silent purple mech slightly tilted his head at Megatron's sudden deep thoughts.

"Who ya starin at, hmm~?" Knockout, the cherry red mech, smirked as he crossed his arms. Megatron glared at Knockout knowing that he was caught staring at a certain 'someone'.

"Let's go-" Megatron was cut off by Knockout who stood in front of him blocking his way. He still had that smirk on.

"Quit being in denial, Megatron," Knockout said. Megatron sighed and just passed him by. Soundwave silently followed Megatron from behind as Knockout remained on his spot.

"You do know you have..." Knockout looked at his chronometer and shouted, "5 hours to ask!" Megatron ignored the cherry red mech and exited the cafeteria.

During class hours, Megatron can't help but keep staring at the red and blue mech who was listening attentively to the teacher while jotting down notes. Megatron sat near the window while the mech he stared at was two seats apart from him. Suddenly someone blocked his view. A cat smile was formed and an optic ridge rose. Megatron frowned in disappointment to see Knockout whose seat was just beside the mech he was staring at.

"1 hour," Knockout mouthed as he showed his one digit at Megatron as if he was pressuring Megatron for time. Megatron shifted his head to look through the window at the scenery outside. He was pissed off by Knockout.

Megatron went out of the school building and strode towards the fountain. His buddies also known as Decepticons, were gathered there. Soundwave stood silently. Starscream was ranting about his pride being scratched by Perceptor. Knockout and Breakdown were chatting with each other while Dreadwing waited for his twin brother to arrive.

"So, Decepticons, who will be your prom dates for tomorrow night~?" Knockout smirked at the gang. They all looked at him, except for Dreadwing who's optics were scouting for his twin among the sea of students leaving the school campus.

"..." Soundwave stared blankly away. Meanwhile at the Science Lab, Shockwave was fixing the apparatus putting them on the right place when he saw a note stuck on one of the flasks. It read, "Be my Prom Date? –SW =)"

"Got into a one sided love, a small blue bot asked me out while the other red one with horns was fuming with jealousy somewhere in the corner of the hallway." Starscream crossed his arms as if not interested in the activity.

"How about you?" Starscream asked Knockout. Knockout chuckled.

"Ain't it obvious?" Knockout leaned onto Breakdown who smiled and held him by the waist shyly. Starscream rolled his optics and muttered as to why the event is that important to others.

"Megatron~?" Knockout teased as they all looked at Megatron who had been spacing out. Megatron blinked his optics a few times and glanced at his gang staring at him.

"Optimus is at the Library~" Knockout said with a grin. Megatron glared at Knockout.

"For once, maybe Starscream was right. The event is nothing but a mere gallivant.'" Megatron said and left, leaving his gang as Knockout just grinned.

"He'll ask," Knockout said and turned to look at his gang. "Breakdown and I will be heading home," He announced and they just waved off or grunted in goodbye. Breakdown placed his arm around Knockout's waist as they headed out of the school campus.

"What about you Dreadwing, any plans to go?" Starscream asked. Dreadwing glanced at Starscream.

"My brother needs my help for his projects. I'm sorry I can't go," Dreadwing replied. Speaking of the devil, Skyquake arrived.

"We shall take our leave. Take care." Dreadwing slightly nodded at his friends and left with his brother.

"Let's go Soundwave, before anyone asks me out." Starscream said fixing his school uniform and left as Soundwave followed behind.

Optimus returned the borrowed book he had to the shelf and went towards his desk only to be surprised to see Megatron standing by the door frame.

"Megatron...?" Optimus spoke. Megatron snapped out from his deep thoughts.

"O-Optimus," Megatron rubbed the back of his neck, feeling somewhat nervous. Optimus smiled in response and continued to pile his notebooks. Megatron gathered up all of his courage and strode towards Optimus.

"I..." Megatron placed his servo at the edge of the table as he leaned. He went silently. After placing his notebooks in his bag pack, Optimus glanced at him questioning his sudden silence.

"I was just checking if there's anyone at the library," Megatron blurted out as an excuse. "I'll take my leave". Megatron hurried away leaving Optimus confused.

Megatron punched his fist at the wall as he gritted his dentas. He was seething in anger, anger towards this emotion he feels every time he sees Optimus. Megatron held his chest right where his spark was; it was beating so fast and he doesn't know why it's acting crazily like that.

His mind flashes an angelic smile from Optimus when they first met at the fountain. He clenched his chest and slightly panted as he tried to push those emotional stuffs that Knockout called 'lovesick' away from his mind.

NO, I'm not asking him out and NO I am NOT in love.
