Starscream yelps in fear and pain as Megatron throws him against the wall in anger.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

He looks up at him with wide optics, struggling as the blade of Megatron's sword is pressed against his throat cables.

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

Why does he keep running back? Why does he continue to suffer at the servos of this mech?

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Starscream cries out again as the sharp blade pierces his cabling, Energon covering his armour quickly. Why did Megatron change?

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

Before the war... before the betrayal... he was such a gentle mech, so shy...

And time's forever frozen still

He used to stumble over his words whenever he tried to talk to someone unless he had a pre-learned speech or script.

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

Starscream had been... close with Megatronus. He had never told him how he felt, and now.. every day he wishes that he had.

You won't ever be alone,

wait for me to come home

He struggles from Megatron's grasp, looking him sadly in the optics as he leaps off the edge of the flight deck. "I'm sorry..."

Loving can heal,

loving can mend your soul

And it's the only thing that I know, know

Megatron stares after him, unable to force himself to transform and fly after the Seeker. "Why?"

I swear it will get easier,

Remember that with every piece of you

"Why..." He stares down off the edge of the ship, watching Starscream fly away with tears forming in his optics. "What have I done?"

Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die

Hm, we keep this love in this photograph

Starscream collapses inside the decrepit half of the Harbinger, his frame aching all over, his spark breaking.

We made these memories for ourselves

He pulls a datapad from his armour, staring at the photo they took just before they went to the senate.

Where our eyes are never closing

Orion and Ratchet are laughing about something they never let the others in on, Soundwave is holding Starscream and Megatronus together face to face with his tentacles, and they both have bright blue faceplates.

Hearts were never broken

They were at a small restaurant, getting ready for the trip to the council.

And time's forever frozen still

How he wishes that they had never gone to that meeting...

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

Megatron picks up a datapad from his desk as he walks into his quarters, collapsing onto his berth as he opens the file of pictures he's taken of Starscream.

You won't ever be alone

He brushes his thumb over the screen, hating himself for chasing the mech away over and over again.

And if you hurt me

That's okay baby, only words bleed

Starscream touches two digits to his throat cables, wincing as they come away stained blue. "I... What happened to my Megatronus..."

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go

"What happened to me?" Megatron looks at his blade, grimacing at the blue that he knows is from Starscream's throat.

Wait for me to come home

The Seeker stands slowly, looking out into the barren landscape.

Wait for me to come home

Megatron looks out the port window next to his berth.

Wait for me to come home

"I love you... Megatron.."

Wait for me to come home

"Why do you keep coming back..?"

You can fit me

Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen

Starscream places a servo over his spark chamber, wincing at the pain.

Next to your heartbeat where I should be

Megatron feels a flicker of hurt in his spark, looking down at his chest in surprise.

Keep it deep within your soul

He opens his spark chamber to see a white strand circling the dark Energon tainted orb.

And if you hurt me

Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed

Starscream winces as a flutter of confusion hits his spark through the partial bond, barely noticing the Energon dripping from his wings and throat.

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go

Megatron shakes off the initial bafflement, remembering Starscream's frightened cries about forming a partial bond when he had...

When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost back on Sixth street

Starscream transforms, flying back in the direction of the Nemesis.

Hearing you whisper through the phone,

"Wait for me to come home."

The warlord stares in shock as a small silver and red jet appears flying towards the ship. "Star?"
