@TailgateRF I'm sorry I couldn't accept your offer. I—... I just can't. Some day I will make this right. It will make sense, and hopefully you will forgive me.
['I pray you will. That one day I will be brave enough to love you openly and without fear of rejection.']
@TailgateRF [Starscream clung a little tighter, nuzzling in with a soft whine of sorts as he focused more upon Tailgate's soft venting.]
... I... Do want to show you my spark. I really do. If there was only a single mech I could choose to hold and protect it, it would be you. Always you.
