SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, HERE IS THE CHAPTER YOU WANTED!
You hummed happily as you sat by your and Bumblebee's spot by the small lake. The day was over and night had come, showing off the stars far away in space that also reflected on the calm lake's surface.
You were surprised when you had gotten a silent message from your little lover who had asked to meet you at your usual spot. You admit you were a little confused why he wanted to see you at night, but you didn't ponder it any further since you both spent days with your teammates, Autobots and Decepticons alike.
Besides, meeting secretly like this was pretty fun and exciting. Your relationship was forbidden and frowned upon if anyone would catch you guys. Heck, Megatron could take your helm if he found out!
Suddenly you heard bushes rattle and you looked over your shoulder, smiling and ready to greet your little ray of sunshine… Only to see a piece of the night looking at you. The Autobot ninja, who they called Prowl.
Your frame acted on its own and you jumped up and faced him, your carefree smile long gone as you prepared yourself for a fight.
"Decepticon." The ninja nodded at you and you scowled, "Autobot."
"I'm not here to fight, but I will act accordingly to your actions if you choose to take any."
"You're not Bumblebee." You were summoned there by your yellow lover, not by this ninja. Had Bee sold you out? Were there more Autobots coming? Should you transform and take off before they could take you down and drag you away as a prisoner of war?
"If you're wondering, Bumblebee has no idea I'm here. I hijacked his frequency." Prowl nodded at you, "I came alone."
Hearing this, you calmed down, but you couldn't lower your guard just yet. This could have been a scheme… Though, Autobots rarely schemed as you Decepticons did. But still, you knew what Prowl was capable of, he wasn't an Autobot that should be underestimated.
"What is it between you and Bumblebee?" The ninja asked suddenly and you scowled. "It's honestly none of your business and it’s better that you don’t get involved."
"That's something I can't do. Bumblebee is my friend and I won't stand by and watch you use his naivety for your own good." Prowl scowled, "So I ask you one more time. What are your plans for Bumblebee?"
Both of you stared at each other, silently measuring each other. Finally, you sighed and lowered your guard, "Nothing." You confessed, "I just really like him. He makes me smile and laugh, unlike anyone I've ever met before. He is different."
You smiled as you imagined the little Autobot's cheerful and fun-loving personality. "He just completes me." You said as you fixed your red optics on Prowl again, "And I do everything in my might to take care and protect him."
"After all you’ve done, how can I believe you?"
"You can't." You admitted as you swallowed, "I'm asking you to take a leap of faith and believe me that I don't mean no harm to Bumblebee."
Prowl stared at you long and hard until he finally nodded. "I see… You appear genuine about your feelings and goals with him."
"What about your kin? How do you think your fellow Decepticons would feel if they knew you were making acquaintance with Autobot?"
"I'm risking a lot for Bee." You replied honestly, "Treasony isn't exactly smiled upon by Decepticons, and the consequences would be dire and fatal in the worst case."
You frowned, "You probably know this but Megatron isn't exactly the forgiving type."
Prowl looked at you as if he was reading you, and trying to figure out if you were being genuine or lying straight in his face.
"Wouldn't it just be safer for you to leave Bumblebee and return to what you two really are? Enemies."
"I don't want safety. I want Lil B and…" You scowled, "I'm ready to take whatever punishment Megatron prepares for me if that will keep Bee safe."
A heavy silence fell between the two of you. You had just told this Autobot things you didn't even tell your small lover because if you opened up to him, you would be embarrassed by your feelings. Finally, the Autobot ninja nodded.
"I knew you were different from other Decepticons." Prowl confessed with a small smile, but that smile quickly turned more serious frown, "If you hurt Bumblebee in any way possible, you are going to answer to me, and promise you, I will come after you."
"I tell you what I told Bee. I'm a Decepticon, not a monster."
The ninja was done with you. He turned to leave, but before he disappeared into the darkness of the forest, he looked at you one final time "I must warn you, there will be a time when you have to choose who you truly are loyal to."
You frowned as you averted your gaze to the ground below you. "I know." You confessed and just like that, you were alone again but your mind was filled with questions that were lacking answers. You sighed as you took a seat and decided to just stare at the calm lake for the rest of the night.
