"This is a terrible idea."

"You're overreacting. Come here, it's fun."

"It's dangerous. And you know it's bad when I say that, Skyfire."

The shuttle just laughed, as if the whole thing was oh so amusing. He didn't land, either, much to Starscream's chagrin. It was so stupid. He had found a nice, safe cave where they could wait for the storm to pass, and what did Skyfire do? Barrel rolls. Of course. Because that made so much sense.

"Sky, I mean it-"

"Well. Maybe it's dangerous for little jets," he teased, turning around at a ridiculous speed for his size. "But I can handle a little wind."

"Oh, yes, very funny. Do go on. It's going to be hilarious when you crash."

"I'm not going to crash, Starscream."

Oh, he wanted to yell at him. He would have, if he didn't know it was very counterproductive more often than not. The storm was strong enough to cause interference with their comm links, but no need to worry, Skyfire was just that talented. Right. And then he said Starscream was the reckless one.

Meanwhile, the shuttle kept fooling around up there, as if the wind and the thunder didn't bother him in the least. He did look like he was having fun, Starscream had to admit that. Zooming and looping, lightning reflected on his plating... He was beautiful.

He was going to get himself fried.

"Skyfire, stop being an idiot and come here before I shoot you down."

He laughed - again - but at least he did land, this time. And then he pretty much tackled Starscream into a hug.

"Wha--"

"I'm sorry," Skyfire said. "I didn't mean to worry you."

"I wasn't... I wasn't worried," he muttered. It wasn't at all convincing, and he knew that, which only frustrated him further. "I was just. Stating the facts."

To his credit, Skyfire didn't contradict him. But he didn't exactly let him be, either. No, that was too much to ask.

"You're cute when you're annoyed, you know."

"I'm not cute. I'm right."

"And who says you can't be both?"

"I say so. Now, are you going to let go or what?"

The shuttle put him down at last, looking rather disappointed.

"You aren't still angry, are you?"

Well. He very much wanted to be, out of principle at least. But that wasn't at all possible when Skyfire had that look.

He was going to turn into a softy. It was embarrassing, really.

"... don't be stupid," he muttered.

And Skyfire, being himself, just smiled.

Awwww! That's adorable, and very sad knowing that it can't last.

Socute. I love how giddy Skyfire is! And teasing Starscream with how much bigger he is. And Starscream convinced he's going to turn into a softy which no, your not, Starscream. :(

A+ for heartbreaking fluff.

Awww~ so much shadowy evil forecast beyond this cute fluff.

I've read about the incident so many times... I think it has more impact* on me reading this one where they get out of it okay... for the moment.
