Bumblebee takes a daily patrol along the city of Detroit.
-Sigh- "Optimus, I don't think any decepticons are in the area. We go through this a lot, and yeah, sure, there are decepticons every now and then, but not today"
Optimus answers to the com he intercepted from Bee "Yeah, but still, we at least need to make sure, just scan the area"
"Fine, but can't I call it a day early?"
"Bumblebee, you and I both know you only want to get home to lie on your aft and play videogames. You need the exercise, so go out there and stretch your servos!"
"Fine, you could have just said so….."
He decided he had enough of optimus. He might as well do as he said and stretch his servos. A nice day in the park after tiring one's self out so much from speeding seems nice.
Oh god, I think prowl is starting to grow on me.
So, the yellow bug sped down almost any road he could find, off-roading it every once and a while. And before he thought he couldn't go anymore from exhaustion, he conveniently stops next to the park, what's the luck of that?
Today was very calm and quiet, and the park even looked deserted.
Where was everybody?
-CRASH, BAM, AAAAAHHHHHHRRRR!-
Bumblebee nearly jumped out of his armor when he heard the firing and the screams afterwards. On full alert, he jumps behind a tree, his stingers at the ready to shoot anything that moves.
Poor bee was too tired to notice the big white backside of a projector screen.
Ever so slowly, peeking out from behind the shade, Bee just realized "That's right, today is the drive-in movie festival. I shoulda brought the guys along."
The oh-so-curious golden bot staggered around to the other side of the projector screen. There were large Sony speakers hooked up to electronic devices he didn't even want to boggle his mind over due to exhaustion. On the screen was playing Pirates of the Caribbean 2, when Captain Sparrow was running on the wheel.
The crowd gasped in shock of the unexpected guest. Bee just decided to sit down in the back row, but then he noticed something. Most of the people had pirates attire.
And Bee wanted some.
He swiveled his head to find a couple booths behind him complete with all you can find of pirate and any sci-fi action movie.
But the thing that caught Bumblebees attention was the crimson red and black Boa scarf and a jet black pirate hat also with a crimson feather. And his luck, he found some that fit him.
Afterwards, he decided to sit back under a nice shady tree, listening to the screaming and rumbling of the bass. Before he knew it, he was drifting off into stacis, and it wasn't hard to do with a large hat covering everything.
He drifted away, leaving everything back behind. He dreamt he was back on cybertron, back in the Aoutobot camp. Flashes of his comrades. Bulkhead making a mockery of himself. Wasp humiliating him and bulkhead, who was too dull-witted to notice.
Wasp.
His dark Blue optics glowed with the pleasure of seeing him in pain. Bumblebee always trying his best to prove himself and get closer to Wasp.
Bumblebees motor purred at the thought of his dark personality and how it seemed no one loved him. Bee wanted to show him that love.
His flashes were brought back to earth with Starscream shooting aimlessly. Only shooting to lose some of his fury and hatred.
Then it flashed to the park, people scattering everywhere to get out of the way of the mech. It seemed Starscream was sulking toward Bumblebee. But he couldn't move, or do anything.
This all seemed too real, the tall Decepticon now towered over top of him, and Bee could almost feel the anger of his wrath seething off of his armor.
Next thing he knew, Bumblebee was being dragged out from under the tree.
This wasn't a dream.
Starscream was on his knees over top of him, blocking the sun. The expression on his face looked almost as if he was in pain. Almost as if he got stabbed in the back. Mentally and physically. He looked so angry and deceived.
Bumblebee tried to huddle into a ball and protect himself a little bit from the terrifying towering him. But there was no chance, Starscream was holding his legs down with one servo and the other servo grasped Bumblebees own and pinned them above his hands on the ground. He couldn't even open up the com for help.
"What do you want?" Bumblebee tried to ask assertively, but not trying to set the con in any worse mood. Somehow, he felt some sympathy for him, although he was the one being held down.
Starscream just held Bumblebee. Speechless.
"You slagger! Let me go you creep!" Bumblebee cracks.
Starscream releases his grip just a little bit. Bumblebee squirms to get lose, and manages to get one servo free.
"Please" starscream begs.
Bumblebee just stops altogether and looks at the taller mech. "what?"
"…..please………"
"What are you talking about?"
Starscream releases his grip completely and his arms drop down to his sides and he looks down to the ground giving up.
Bumblebee sits up and jets away. He looks over his shoulder, only to see starscream in the same spot, immobile.
"What?" Bumblebee stops on his heel, almost losing his scarf and hat.
The park was completely deserted, and the autobots were most definitely on their way over here now.
Bee cautiously sneaks back to Starscream. Once he is in front of him, he peers up to see the dark cons face.
Starscreams eyes were beat red, giving his face a luminous red glow. And it looked kinda…..hot. Oil was leaking from his optics, and his face looked so soft. Bumblebee has never seen him like this ever before.
"wh-….what is wrong with you?"
Starscream meets optics with bumblebee "what is wrong with me? I would like to know that myself."
"No, I mean, why are you so upset?"
"Why do you care?" Starscream looks to his left, trying to look at something else.
Now it was Bumblebee who was speechless. He didn't know why he cared about the slaggin' decepticon. He didn't know why he came back to Starscream instead of still running, or call for help.
Bumblebee let his head fall, he really didn't know why. "Why did you let me go?"
"Huh?" Starscream looks at the littler mech who is now toying with his scarf. "Because…." He lifts bumblebee's head to see into his bright blue, perfect optics. "…you looked too …….innocent……. and I didn't want to hold the burden of knowing you were hurt due to my own carelessness."
"Wha?"
"Just leave."
"Innocent…..me?"
"Leave me."
"Why? Didn't you want me to stay?"
Starscream let out a growl and jerks his head to the side. Bumblebee climbs onto starscreams lap. Trying to get his attention back. "Why didn't you hurt me?"
Starscream looks back, his face looking as if he really wanted to do something, almost as if that was the reason why he was so upset. "Because, you looked too cute."
"Bumblebee! Where are you?! I have been trying to reach you for hours now!" Optimus interrupts the awkward silent moment.
Bumblebee was in too much in shock to say anything. He was trapped, looking into Starscreams optics. But Starscream gives him a look that made him answer the call.
"I, uh, I was- am at the park."
"Isn't Starscream there!?"
Starscreams servos tensed around bumblebee's waist. When did they get there?
"Uh, umm, he didn't really pose a threat…."
Bumblebee couldn't understand why it was so hard to talk right now. He could hear his engine purring and Starscream was so……distracting. He felt something pulling him, but he didn't know what.
"Well, we are headed our way to the park and I expect to see you there safe, and no decepticon."
"Okay"
Bee looks up to Starscream, who looked upset again. Why?
"You better leave…….."
Starscream wrapped his arms completely around the small mech, enclosing a maroon shelter around him. "I know" Starscream lets go.
Bumblebee looks up as a drop of oil leaks out from his ruby optics. The urge was stronger now, pulling him in closer.
Bumblebee reaches up and pecks starscream on the lips. The shocked seeker looked down on him. "Why?"
Starscream jolts forward, pinning bee to the ground. He let out a sudden growl, aggressive and dark, as if about to attack. His optics flaring bright red.
Somehow , this aroused bee and made him want to do something decepticon-ish.
But before he knew it, Starscream leaped off of bee and redied his cannons.
"Step away from Bumblebee" asserted a dark, calm voice. On the back of Starscream was a dent and star shurikens. Somehow, Bulkhead and Prowl managed to hit him at the same time.
Starscream didn't move, but lowered his weapons. As he reached back to take out the stars logged in his back, he glanced at Bee. Once Starscream pulled the blades out, he just dropped them and walked away, not in any hurry, fear, or need to do something.
"What was with him?" asked Bulkhead
Bumblebee's faceplate grew hot, and he felt sudden sadness for the con.
"Bumblebee, what happened? I thought you said he didn't pose a threat." Asked a concerned optimus.
Bumblebee didn't answer, he just stood up, transformed and rolled on slowly home.
Bulkhead pulled alongside him "What's up little buddy? Why were you and Starscream so close to each other?"
Bumblebee didn't answer; he just raced home faster than anyone else could catch him.
