-Skyfire x Starscream-

No matter how much he'd changed, he was still beautiful. The way his wings twitched during battle reminded the older flier how his young seeker would do such during their interfacing. The way his form elegantly soared through the blue sky, it brought back the memories of watching him do the same on Cybertron, the contrast of his paint against the dull silver of the planet.

Yet there was something different between this mech and the one he loved during his time on Cybertron.

Optic sensors once so full of life and kindness, oh Primus, now they were glaring the opposite, loathing and despair. His armour once bright and beautiful, now was chipped and dented from the attacks of the Decepticon commander. A voice that had often made him smile, now was filled with static from war injuries. This wasn't the Starscream that Skyfire loved long ago.

He turned his helm, not wanting to watch as the gorgeous seeker blasted his way through Autobots. He knew in that moment the truth, a truth that he did not want to admit, wasn't ready to. The Starscream he loved and would willingly give his spark for was nothing but a distant memory. In that Starscream's place was a beast, a creature that crawled from the pit to haunt him.
