Chapter Text
Sufre mamón,
Devuélveme a mi chica,
O te retorcerás entre polvos pica pica
Hombre G -"Devuélveme a mi chica"-
★彡 STILL CRAWLING IN LOVE彡★
Skyfire was definitely not sulking or whatever Wheeljack had said. He sat in his laboratory, frowning. He frowned, thinking about his close friend.
Starscream, why has he done this? Skyfire thought that he'd be happy to see him, seeing that he defected from the Decepticons, which caused Starscream to switch up the moment Skyfire didn't dare to shoot some Autobots.
Were the Autobots right that Starscream has changed after all those years? Ever since he had met Starscream, he was so..sweet and such a darling. They met when those young seekers ambushed him from behind. He was kind of young when they first met. He wondered if Starscream ever took joy in doing these. They were lab partner before they separated. he was his friend.. they have been distanced for a years and every time Skyfire tried to speak to him, Starscream would always shoot him or let his trine do it for him. he wasn't allowed to be near him lest he'll meet with Megatron..
But, if he sees him again, he wants to shake him, talk sense into him, or perhaps confess that he has liked him all along, maybe he still does. Skyfire felt a sorrowful pain in his spark; he wondered if Starscream ever liked him back. He remembers interfacing with him during the party back then, under the moon, and the place they had taken for their private time. After that party, they pretend as if they haven't interface which still hurts...
Starscream was right; he was a coward.
Starscream sat on the berth of his own sparkling’s room, Snowglider slept soundly in his dream slumber. He didn’t care what Snowglider was dreaming, nor did he wonder; he came into his room because his carrier instinct was screaming at him to check over his sparkling.
The last time he didn’t listen to his carrier protocol, he heard his child panicking while he had a nightmare when he was alone. Starscream never trusts himself to leave his sparkling..
Never..

In the meeting room, Starscream sat in a chair as he crossed his arms. They were all planning a way to defeat the Autobots while Megatron sat there steady, listening to Shockwave speaking about some tactical ideas to bring the Autobots to their knee. Unless that plan have work for once, that could do.
Starscream huffed, bored out of his mind. That plan definitely could not work the way Shockwave said. Sure, that mad scientist was always right, but Starscream also has some experience of his own. Instead, his job was to control the Aerial seeker and command.
“Perhaps, we could use a better gun?..” One Decepticon suggested as they rubbed their chin in thought.
Starscream cranked his helm at them as if their presence insulted him. “We did that last time and look where it ended up!” He gestured to the multiple broken blaster guns on the table. “Laser won’t even cut it, and Optimus managed to obtain this opportunity like he’s using reverse in Uno!” he complained.
One decpeticons whispered to the other. “What’s a Uno?..” he asked. The other shrugged, not knowing as well.
“Starscream…” Megatron warned, sighing in exhaustion. "There's no need to have a fight with someone else already.." he was tired, and the last time Starscream had a fight with a bot, he forced them to do double work..
The same bots who ask for blaster guns shrugged. “Well, that could be good to me..” They said.
“To you, it is..” Starscream retorted, rolling his optics. Skywarp snorted and tried his best not to giggle while Thundercracker crossed his arms.
“That’ll be an illogical strategy; we won’t repeat this last time. “ Shockwave rejects the suggestion.
“Thank Primus…” Starscream groaned, relieved and sick of the other bots asking for some stupid stuff.
“We could just disguise?..” Skywarp chimes in, smirking.
“Starscream did that before, he pretended to be Optimus and managed to deceive the Autobots…” Thundercracker points out. “So, that option is out..” he said.
Starscream huffed in pride and smiled. “Of course, I did!” he said happily.
Other Decepticons rolled their optics. Of course, Starscream would say that; he always does. It is a wonder how he came to be Megatron's child; it was truly a miracle. “Or perhaps, you could use me! “ All turn and see Snowglider smirking at them as he rests both of his servos on his hips.
Starscream’s optics widen. “Absolutely not!” He rejected the offer from his sparkling. “Are you disguising as a hurtful sparkling looking to shelter from the Autobots??...” he asked.
“Yes, I am!” Snowglider beamed, he wanted to make his carrier and his grandcarrier proud! He could be good at this type of thing; his carrier was the second in command, and he was usually good at yelling at them to listen to him. Well.. it was a miracle that he still had his sanity left. While his grandcarrier, Megatron, is the leader of the Decepticons, he was a huge warrior that know his way around battle.
He always used to tell a story about his time as a gladiator before he had his Carrier! He wonders if he ever had a grandsire, he has noticed that there was only carrier and a grandsire.. but never the other family member..
Megatron hummed while Shockwave thought over. Soundwave glanced at Snowglider as he stood there idly.
“Actually, that’s not the worst idea…” Shockwave responds. “Snowglider could be helping out, he is usually good at stealth after all.. Since the Autobots may not know, we know that they are sentimental enough to take him in..”
“It’ll be easier for him to gather information about what we don’t know..” he continued to say.
“Not bad..” Megatron chimes in, interested in the plan. “Snowglider will be a good spy, Starscream.. He’s not so little anymore..” He murmured. “You babied him too much; it is time he shows his worthiness.” He said. Primus, when Starscream was younger.. he didn't fall for his little sparkled optics and his adorable pout.
Well.. maybe he does, and look where it ends up! Now his child was babying his grandchildren too much..
“You’re letting him get taken away by filthy Autobots as bait?!” Starscream shrieks at him.
Megatron grunted, annoyed. “Not as bait, as spy..” He said, trying to reassure him.
“Starscream, Snowglider won’t be hurt.. Optimus is too soft to hurt him!” He said. “I know Optimus won’t let anything happen to him, he’s sentimental..” he huffed.
Oh yeah? Then why didn’t you try confessing to him when you had the chance back when you were D-16? oh wait, Sire didn't know! Why did I even bother...
If Starscream had said it aloud, he would have been slapped. No doubt that Megatron has an unbearable anger issue with the big bucket head of his. His relationship with his carrier was always odd, ever since Starscream was born, Megatron would in every opportunity train him not to be like his sire..but hm, he was also spoiling him at the same time when he denied doing that..
He bit his tongue, refraining from insulting him further. “Fine! If anything happens to him–” Snowglider cheered in the back before stopping as he saw his carrier’s glare.
“Yes, yes, you’ll try to blast me..” Megatron rolled his optics. “Nothing will happen to him, I guarantee you..” He sighed.
And so, the meeting continued with a fight, suggestion, and scheme.

When the battlefield begins, all hell breaks loose. Ironhide beating up Decepticons like there’s no tomorrow. Bumblebee punched another with his fist as if he had practiced this every day, and Optimus grunted and groaned while he was fighting with Megatron with his sword.
Starscream could see Skywarp giggling as he broke Brawl’s nose in a fight, while Thundercracker fought with Sunstreaker in a fair battle.
He picked up Ravage and shouted. “Ravage attack him, now!” He throws him at Cliffjumper, and he blasts one Autobot who was about to ambush him from behind. he'll definitely get a lecture from Soundwave for throwing Ravage like that..
He knew Snowglider was off somewhere and that plans should work.
A presence was behind him; he tensed up and turned around. Ready to fire at whoever was going behind him. He stopped when Skyfire was there. He gritted his teeth and gripped his gun at him. Glaring right at his old friend.
“You’re interrupting me!” he fired at him, but Skyfire managed to dodge the bullet. Starscream stepped back, nervous as he kept shooting.
Skyfire frowned. “Is this.. What you truly wanted?..” he looked at the battlefield, seeing Optimus fighting with Megatron. "Fighting a war that is completely pointless?..."
Starscream snarled at him. “I told you for the second time, yes!” he retorted, shooting at Skyfire’s armor. "Now, get out of my way!"
Skyfire yelped in pain. He struggled to get up.
“I told you if I see you again, I will shoot you!” He shrieked, leaving him alone.
Ironhide went to him, helping him to stand up. “Ya’ alright buddy? That was a nasty wound..” he said.
Skyfire grunted in pain, glancing at Starscream’s back as the tricolor seeker left. “Yes, I am..” he said. “I’ll see Ratchet after the battle..” he definitely will be fine.
Ironhide was not convinced; however, he let it be.
Megatron commanded the other Decepticons to retreat, seeing that the others were injured and he was wounded as well. Starscream walked to him, gripped his back to support him.
“Steady now, you oaf..” He said. “You got a nasty one right there.. You should see Hook for that..” he sighed, using his body and weight to help Megatron up.
Megtron tried to use his balance, standing up slowly as his leg was damaged. “I’m fine, Starscream. No need to fuss…” he gritted his teeth, holding himself back from the pain in his leg.
Starscream rolled his optics. “Sure..” he huffed.
"Yo, Star! Is Meggy alright?.. want me to help?.." Skywarp shouts from the other direction, helping out his partner, Thundercracker. "Man, this ain't so fun..my wing is sore.." Thundercracker groaned. Skywrap and his ridiculous nickname..
"No, I got it all covered!" Replied, Starscream as he carried Megatron over his shoulder.
Skywarp gave a thumbs-up while Thundercracker looked like he was about to collapse.
Skyfire watched from afar as he let his friends help him up, clenching his fist. He didn’t know why he was acting like this; the way Starscream looked at Megatron was almost the same way he looked at him, and it pained him so much.
He should have looked at him, not Megatron!
Snowglider managed to look pathetic enough to get some help from the Autobots, but it was Sideswipe who found him and brought him to Optimus.
And oh dear, Optimus was massive! Snowglider knew he was big from a distance, but he didn’t know that he could be so huge like his grandcarrier, Megatron!
Optimus was soft, really soft, and strong enough. He looks to be that type of dad who’s sweet and scary at the same time!
“It’s alright, little one..” Optimus reassured, his voice rumbled through Snowglider’s body like electricity, and it was gentle..
“What is your name?..” he asked gently, as if fearing that he would break him by touching.
“S-snowglider, sir!” he said nervously.
Optimus smiled, waving his servo dismissively. “No need to be formal..” he said. “You’re safe here, and no one will harm you..”
Snowglider nodded, okay, he has to focus.
He heard multiple voices; perhaps they were talking about him, or whether they didn’t know how to trust him. Ratchet came out of the medbay, storming as he pushed Optimus out of the way.
“Now let me see what your condition is..” He walked closer, scanning him with his datapad. That doctor looks grumpy, so old, and his carrier was right about that.
“I’m fine…!” Snowglider said, smiling nervously.
Ratchet looks unbothered and not convinced. “At least, let me scan you..” he said.
“Primus, you got a bad wound on your ankle, where did you get that??..” Ratchet asked.
“I– fell?...” He said, fiddling with his fingers and glancing at the doctor. "And I think a stick managed to get under my plate..." he murmured.
Ratchet pinched his nose, sighing to himself. “Get in the medbay with me..” he ordered.
“But– that was not bad–” He tried to reason.
“Who knows if you could have an infection? You’ll never know.” Ratchet frowned. “Did it hurt?..” he asked.
“Uh– a little?..” he answered.
“Then get in the medbay with me…actually..” Ratchet hummed. “Skyfire, why don’t you carry him for me?..” he asked.
“Of course!” Skyfire accepted, and he glanced at the youngling in his view. That one has.. Some similar color that he can’t put his hand on what..
Snowglider glanced back. He sort of looked like the color he had! white, blue. Except that Snowglider has blue servos, that yellow cockpit from his carrier, and he has that red, white, and blue line on his wings.
He let himself be carried by the big shuttle one, glancing at every Autobot in the room. Some of them look like they don’t trust him, while the others are a bit curious and friendly to him.
For now, he needs to complete the mission successfully and hopefully get home soon.
