Starscream/Gladiator!Rumble: "I will fight for you."
Romantic royalty starters
Maaaaybe loosely tied with the sparkly Sentinel/Starscream one > ///>
Had a difficult time writing this, if that wasnât obvious, so I hope itâs still okay...
âI will fight for you.â
âReally.â Starscream drawls, his mind sluggish, body tired and pleasantly sore, as he idly strokes the other pliant frame laying heavily on top of his. âYou would fight my promised, a Prime and one of the most decorated veterans Cybertron has, for me.â
âYup,â Rumble answers proudly, his arms folded and chin lazily propped up on the glass of his canopy so that he can see him smirk, âwould knock his optics clean out and keep âem around so he can watch me victory-frag you later.â
âArenât you the confident one,â Starscream responds, vocalizer unable not to purr at that stupid, attractive sort of cockiness and arrogance that heâs grown to love from this mech. An attitude like he truly believed he could do half the feats that leave his mouth. The kind of mettle, stupid as it is, that he thinks is still worth something.
âBut what if I donât want you to fight for me.â He counters. his helm lifting up to press a chaste little kiss on the corner of his white lips, maybe just to test that mettle and see it falter. âMaybe Iâm after that title and all that influence that comes with taking that cog at my bonded. Hm?â
But Rumble doesnât hesitate. âThen I will fight for me and take you for myself.âÂ
And Starscream giggles, drunk on the lingering euphoria and absolutely delighted.
âSo selfish,â he murmurs against the corner of his mouth, going for another kiss.
âNah, Iâm just a greedy old mech,â he answers, eyeing Starscream down as his frame gives a gentle growl, âand I feel Iâve been sharing for too long.â
