Spark Deep: Ficlet
Found this in an unsent email, of all places. No idea why it was there, or who I was sending it to, or why it was written, or if it was for anyone. *shrugs* Don't even know if this is the end, or if there's supposed to be more. Either way, enjoy.
The low rumble of idling high-power engines filled the room. Three forms lay sprawled on the massive berth. One was in recharge. Two were not.
The Lords Sideswipe and Sunstreaker stared at their little gray bondmate, simply watching him recharge.
~He's beautiful,~ Sunstreaker rumbled, a soft light filling his optics as they traced over the prone form of the Praxian.
~He is,~Sideswipe agreed, smiling. ~I can't believe...~
~Same here.~
Again, they simply watched, their long, sinuous, canine forms curled around their bondmate's more traditional bipedal mode. Half a joor passed in the near silence of the room as they watched.
Slowly, though, he began to stir.
"Mm... Sides? Sunny? Is something wrong?"
Sideswipe yipped and shook his helm, his whole body shaking with the motion.
::Nothing's wrong, Sweetspark. We're just admiring you,:: Sunstreaker said over their shared comm link as he bared his fangs in a grin.
They both could feel his embarrassment in his field as he shifted. "I'm nothing special," he said, giving them a tiny smile. "You guys are the beautiful ones."
Sunstreaker snorted and Sideswipe snickered. ::I know I'm beautiful when I'm in my bipedal mode,:: the yellow Twin said in a lofty tone, ::but you underestimate yourself.::
::You'd make all the other lords jealous, had we been back... in times before.::
Bluestreak just rolled his optics and sank back into the warm space between them.
