Log: Skywarp and Fireflight
After this log a worried Skywarp goes off to find Fireflight.
Skywarp: *Warp's running down the halls, intent on finding his mate. Images are dancing through his head, not pretty ones at all. Flight crashed on the rocks, Flight with his limbs scattered, Flight in /pain/. He's worried and frantic and tense as all hell.* ::Flight? Flight?!::
Fireflight: *Flight is getting ready for a wash in the racks when he picks up Warp's transmission. He frowns as he tilts his head, concerned by the note of alarm in the other's voice* :: M'here, Warp. What's up? ::
Skywarp: *Warp grasps frantically for coordinates from the comm, fails in his hurry, and gets even more antsy because of it.* ::Where are you, Flight?::
Fireflight: :: Wash racks. What's up? ::
Fireflight: *he twists the water jets on, relaxing as the warm water splashes over him*
Skywarp: *spend the 5 minutes running to the racks, or just poof there? Well, not much of a choice was it? Watch out Flight, you're about to get tackled by a hysteric Seeker.*
Fireflight: *is completely oblivious to onrushing streak of purple and as a result gets buried under hysteric!Seeker*
Skywarp: *Alternating between squeezing the life out of Flight and running his hands over him to check for injury.* Safe, you're safe, wassoworried! *Water? Who cares about a little water? Warp doesn't even /notice/ it.*
Fireflight: *Flight blinks up at him. He doesn't mind all of the attention, but he doesn't know what Warp is going on about* Huh...? Why wouldn't I be safe?
Skywarp: *Coherency is really beyond him right now. Finally assured of Flight's health, he just... deflates. All the stress disappears and he slumps into Flight, hiding his face in the other mech's shoulder, still chanting his mantra.*
Fireflight: *hugs Warp tightly, now starting to feel real concern as he rocks the other mech* Skywarp...? What's wrong?
Skywarp: *shivers* Did a stupid thing. Very stupid thing. Amazingly retarded, stupid even for me stupid thing. *clutching at Flight like a lifeline. Overreact much, Warp?*
Fireflight: *pets him gently, cooing and making noises of reassurance* S'okay, Warp. S'okay. You're fine. I'm fine.
Skywarp: Galvatron. Almost joined /Galvatron/. *looks Flight in the eyes and he's haunted as anything* I didn't mean to, Flight. Wouldn't ever hurt you. You know that right? *And he's obviously not thinking about joining Galvatron directly, but filtering it through other things.*
Fireflight: You... what? Almost joined Galvatron? *He scoots back a bit and leans against the wall, letting the water cascade over them* Why?
Skywarp: *He hums and sighs resignedly. He knew he'd have to explain.* I'm ... I've been a soldier for a very long time. Even before the war. I /like/ battle. There's not a lot that I'm good at, but one thing I /am/ good at is kicking people in the head... I miss it sorta. *he pauses*
Skywarp: Galvatron... he offered a way to get it back. That way of living. And I... wanted it. A lot. *he's disgusted with himself now, even so soon after the fact*
Skywarp: Didn't think about the consequences.
Fireflight: *Flight goes very still for a moment, head bowing slightly to clink against Warp's. Then he squeezes him tightly, rocking the other mech* It's OK, Warp.
Skywarp: *he goes very still for a moment and when he finally speaks, his voice has a hoarse quality to it* Flight... he would've had me kill you. I'm sure of it. TC said so. *this scares him more than you could imagine.*
Fireflight: But you didn't join him, did you?
Fireflight: *makes eye contact with the seeker, optics glowing softly*
Skywarp: ... No. *he'd like to, but he can't look away*
Fireflight: So it's alright.
Fireflight: You realized that it was a bad idea and you didn't.
Skywarp: ... Hn. Shouldn't have even /considered/ it. *hands clench reflexively around Fireflight's shoulders* You're worth so much more than senseless violence.
Fireflight: I'm glad.
Fireflight: *he kisses Warp
Fireflight: *kisses Warp's forehead*
Skywarp: *flinches back a little, off-lining his optics, then brings them back online, embarrassed.* Sorry. 'M twitchy right now... *Apologetically, he caresses Flight's helm and presses their foreheads together, smiling nervously as if to say 'see? not your fault at all'*
Fireflight: The important thing is that you didn't go. You stayed and you're here with me. *he cups Warp's face, caressing him gently*
Skywarp: *It's amazingly difficult to stay tense when Flight's projecting calm and reassurance like that. Warp tilts his head into Flight's hand and wraps his arms around his mate's shoulders, almost possessively.* Okay...
Fireflight: I love you, Warp.
Skywarp: *the response is automatic, but no less sincere* Love you too, Flight.
