Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 27: Close Moments

Hallo! I have some good news to those who have read The Time of Night is Midnight. The first chapter of the rewritten version is soon to come out. I have yet to finish the entire thing but I'm on chapter twenty-seven and thought it was time! To those who haven't even heard of that story, I would suggest reading it. I will say, it does have its cringy bits but I wrote it a couple of years ago. Sorry! Had to do a self-promotion.

An idea came to mind while filling up the bucket full of clean water. I wanted to try something with the already transformed twin and turned in his direction. "Hey, Sides, could I try something with you?" He perked up due to my call and nodded at bit excited.

"Anything you want!" I sauntered over in front of him and gazed up at him. The mech lowered himself to be somewhat level with me and looked at me with curiosity swirling in his blue optics. A kind smile graced his lips. "You know, you're adorable." I ignored his sentence and raised my hand hesitantly, with a questioning expression.

Sides nodded his helm and pressed his cheek against my open hand. I gently ran my fingers the sharp edge of his jaw line. His optics fluttered offline and he leaned more into the touch. Then, I realized Sides was getting most my attention, especially when we pressed our foreheads together.

I retracted my hand, gave the mech an apologetic look, and jogged over to Sunstreaker. "I'm sorry for ignoring you," I apologized and set my hand down on his right front fender. The yellow Lamborghini pushed himself more into my touch, surprisingly.

Even if we are on good terms, I half expected him to tell me not to touch his paint. It was messed up through so that could be part of the reason. "Don't apologize. This is was new to you, we understand." I released my breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Yes, it is. But that still do-" I was interrupted by him transforming swiftly and kneeling down in front of me. A pointed look made its way to his features and he hissed lowly.

Sunstreaker then growled and pushed me slightly with the tip of his index digit. I stumbled back to regain my balance and peered up at him, confused on why he did that. "This is new. Pit, it's new to us and we're still trying to wrap our processor around it. For someone of your kind, you are taking this well." I didn't take into account they haven't done this before with a human, probably. We'll just have to figure out each other's limits of what we can and can't do.

"I'm use to adapting to my surroundings within a snap of my fingers. There was no time of figuring it out, you just go with the flow as we humans say," I answered truthfully and shrugged my shoulders like it was nothing. To me, it was nothing but normal to adapt. "That's how I have survived in this disgusting world for so long."

Did I just reveal a little of my past? Not any details though, just what I had to do to survive in my household and out in the real world. "Now please take my apology so I can get your frame looking a little bit better."

My words seemed to piss off the mech a tiny bit more. Yes, I should've been terrified of what he would or could do to me but trust, I was giving them a little trust. That felt scary to do that, I haven't done the trusting thing in years.

He leaned down but still towered over me with a scowl barely gracing his lips. "We're not just going let what you said previously go. Why did you have to survive on this planet for so long? Your creator and sire should've protected you and helped you through the beginning years." Creator? Sire? I'm going to take an educated guess and say creator is mother by the sounds of it and Sire is father.

Should I tell them? Not all of it of course, just alert them that my parents weren't really there for me. It's all about that trusting thing again. I sighed deeply and played with my hair nervously. "They weren't there to care for me after they split. My brother and I had to survive together until he couldn't take it anymore and left to play his music somewhere else. I don't blame him one bit though. I would've done the same."
