Recharging became difficult to do since Starscream had left her like that. It wasn't like him to just leave without an excuse, wether it was the truth or a lie. And what was even more confusing was that he'd been avoiding her for the past Earth week or so. Other than that, she had been given gifts of energon, weapon pieces, and other useful items that (Y/n) needed.
Every half day/night, there would be a gift waiting for the (a/c) colored seeker either on her berth or table, were her holo-computer sat. A note that said the same thing, 'if only you felt the same.'
Besides that, Starscream has been getting into more trouble than before, 99% of the time was (Y/n) being in the same room. Confusingly, she had been feeling watched, just the thought gave her a shiver and making her (a/c) wings twitch uncomfortably.
It didn't help that Starscream was secretly gazing at her form, such gaze turning to stares when it was only them in the room. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but it made him jealous when it came to another mech, more so, Knockout.
Over time, (Y/n) had started to learn to be a medic, in case Knockout decided to "join" the enemy. With it coming with knowledge, it also came with a Knockout. He would flirt with the (a/c) femme any chance he got, even in front of Starscream. Megatron didn't really care as long as it didn't affect his most skilled bot. (Y/n).
But that was a few Earth weeks ago, now something must of clicked...
"Starscream!!! You failed me again!!!" Megatron yelled at him before kicking him into a cave wall, the sound of metal hitting rock filled around the little room around.
"Master! Please! It's not what it looks! I-"
"No more excuses, Starscream!" Megatron shouted, "This is the finale time you betray me! Ever!" He had Starscream backed against the wall, fusion cannon charging.
(Y/n) cringed at what would be his last time she'd see him again. The (a/c) seeker was sadden by that, he would be finished. With Starscream gone, she would have to take over as S.I.C. And leader of the seeker troops, it was good yet bad.
Megatron was about to fire when (Y/n) interrupted. "My lord! Wait."
The Decepticon leader turned to (Y/n) with an annoyed expression. "What is it!" Both mechs looked at (Y/n), Megatron's optics soften a little at the femme, while Starscream had his optics wide open at her actions.
She nervously played with her talons, "I know that Starscream gets on everyone's nerves, but what will happen when you need him and he's gone? I-I-I me-mean-" (Y/n) stuttered, "Starscream is the only one who can control the air troops a-a-and besi-besides that, he's the second in command!" She finished, fear flowed through her system about what she had done, no doubt he'd punish her later about this.
Starscream couldn't help but faintly blush at how cutely (Y/n) stutters, did she possibly have feelings for him? She was looking away from both him and Megatron. Starscream could only just feel her heating up under his gaze, like all those other times when he was hurt and she was the only medic available to patch him up. The unmistakable twitching of her wings when their optics meet for a few clicks.
Megatron looked at back at Starscream, then at the (a/c) winged seeker. (Y/n) did have a point. Starscream was the only one that could control the winged troops, and he wouldn't ever admit that he, Lord Megatron, did need him as a second in command. Megatron growled that Starscream would not be offlined, (Y/n) wouldn't be either, even though she did stop him, he shamefully had a soft spot for the (a/c) femme.
"Fine, Starscream shall be spared, for this time only." Megatron huffed and walked away, requesting a groundbridge to his ship.
Starscream watched as (Y/n) fell to her stabilizers in shock that her words convinced Megatron to spare the silver seeker. He, on the other servo, didn't know what to say, he was speechless at what happened. She saved him. The only one he cared for defended him. Maybe she did care for him after all.
(Y/n) moved her helm to see if Starscream was ok. His red optics met with (o/c) ones. After a while, she looked away from them, sitting on her legs. Starscream reached out, gently grabbed her servo and pulled her into him, resulting in her squeaking. (Y/n) was now leaning over him from a side while he hugged her to him, resting his helm on her's, optics closed. The (a/c) seeker, tried to hide her bright blush, in Starscream's neck-cables, her optics closed as well.
"(Y/n)..?" Starscream began, "When I first saw you, I thought it was a flux, that you weren't really there," He paused, thinking about his words, "Then you became the only bot that I could trust fully..." The seeker pulled away to look at the beautiful seeker that he held, looking with emotion that no one thought he had, a loving and caring feeling to his evil optics. (Y/n) couldn't help but look into them. He continued, "The only one who cared about me."
He looked away as the (a/c) femme flier waited for Starscream to finish, "What I'm trying to say is that I...
lo-lo-ve y-you..." He blushed and peeked a look at the corner of his optic.
(Y/n) composed herself, he loved her. That was why he avoided her, why he always gotten her attention by getting hurt. Maybe even for the gifts left for her. "Even the gifts?" She calmly asked.
"Even the gifts..." Starscream became a blushing mess when he felt (Y/n)'s
Lip-components on his right
cheek-plate, then at the edge of his mouth-plating.
"Thank you, Starscream" (Y/n) softly and fondly replied, nuzzling his helm against hers. Her left servo placed on his left shoulder-plate, Starscream held her right servo in his right. Starscream moved his helm to look at (Y/n), then softly kissed her, she happily returned his feelings through this action. Both purring to each other.
(Y/n) wrapped her arms around Starscream's neck-cables while he wrapped his around her (a/c) waist bringing her against him harder. She moaned into the silver seeker, pushing him over the edge.
The (a/c) seeker moved from him and stared at him.
"I love you too, Starscream" The latter's smile grew into a grin, before kissing her again.
