"She was rather... demanding." Amongst other things. He was almost certain now, that the day she arrived she had been hitting on him. Although he's not certain if he should be saying sorry to Skyfire or not. He was the reason Starscream had met her. She had data on how to return their bodies, using her was necessary. He did not see the point in dating her, but then again he wasn't the one that chose to get involved with her in that way.
"Not that, such excuses him. It would be poor of me to say you have no right to be upset with him for that, seeing how I reacted when I found out Soundwave had been involved with someone else." It was something that still bothered him from time to time. That feeling that he wasn't first choice.
"But I would not be too displeased that you two never did anything intimate. I doubt he would have been very good at it."
Gently he runs his fingers through Skyfire's hair, attempting to comfort him. This obviously is not the best of subjects for the shuttle.
"He changed, perhaps not as dramatically as you would have liked, but he did ever so slightly. And he has attempted to be someone great since the beginning, why get involved with that if you knew?
"Decepticons lie. And you are far better than that. Better than him. You deserved better. And I do not mind listening. It is nice to hear your side of things."

"I do not know. It was foolish. I will be the first to admit I have been too trusting. Too naive. Perhaps I still am, believing I can transcend the binds of our species stupid war."
The former shuttle sighs, squeezing Shockwave a little tighter.
"Thank you, Shockwave. Thank you for... listening."

And perhaps Skyfire is still being too naive, even after everything that's happened the shuttle isn't perfect. And to be honest, it is likely for the best. Yes, the less naive Skyfire is the better off he would be when something bad happened. However, from what Shockwave can tell, Skyfire functions best when he's at least a little naive.
"Although if it helps any, I am a Cybertronian first, Decepticon second. Even with Starscream's memories cluttering my own, I am not quite the type to go off and hurt everyone. So I would think you are safe trusting me as a friend."

"I am glad that things changed between us, Shockwave."
He'd be content to sit here forever and hug him. There are many things he'd never expected to hear from Shockwave, and many of them happened today.
"If you have some of Starscream's memories..." He pauses, unsure if he wants to ask what he's about to ask.
"Did he ever actually love me?"
