The Unity Of Two

21:Primus-The Talking Crystal

"Your crystal talks?" Optimus repeated.

"My carrier." I corrected, "But yes."

"You called you carrier Primus earlier"

It got real quiet for a bit. "Yea..." Primus started, "Disappointed, aren't you?" He asked.

"Oh definitely." Unicron snickered.

"Shut up." I told him.

"You're Primus?" Optimus seemed to be having a seizure.

"The talking crystal, yes." Primus agreed.

"You're only able to hear him because you're a Prime, the others can't." I explained.

"A good one at that." Primus added.

I never knew Optimus could blush, however an alarmed frown took place. "Your Sire-"

I swung out his shard of dark energon, "Has gone off the rails, I know." I interrupted as Unicron gave and uncomfortable squeak. "You can't hear him because you don't have dark energon in you." I explained.

"Your Carrier is Primus..." Optimus repeated.

"Yup." Primus and I said.

"And your Sire is Unicron?"

"Yup."

He stared at the crystals for a while. "What- What kind of relationship do they have?"

"A toxic one." Unicron spat out.

"He says toxic." I pointed at him.

"Neutral." Primus tried.

"Bah!"

"I'd say, passive aggressive." I stated, Optimus seemed to agree before he fell silent again. "Oh and we're linked." I added. "I look through your optics every now and then."

Optimus blinked, "Yes, I feel that. And I-"

"Look through mine sometimes too. And I can do the same with Megatron too."

"Because of the dark energon?"

"Yup." I said and a silence took place. It was awkward. "Well, my back hurts." I started as I started walking away, to the medbay.

Optimus was left standing alone in the hallway, his processor trying to catch up with reality.

"I hate you, I hate you and I hate Optimus." Unicron hissed.

"Optimus isn't that bad." Primus said as I entered the main room.

"Eh." I shrugged.

"What's the bet, he's gonna wake up tomorrow and think it's a dream?" Unicron chuckled.

I swung my legs over the berth and paused, did I really want to lie on my back? I flipped around on my front.

"Maybe, sounds passable." Primus agreed.

"Then you can confuse him all over again." Unicron said.

"Hey, I kind of want to recharge." I told them.

"Okay." Unicron said, "Anyway-"

"Shut up." Primus muttered, "Or at least whisper."

In the morning.

I woke up once Ratchet dumped something heavy on the table, Bulkhead woke up alongside me.

"What's that?" I asked, it looked like a bunch of scrap metal.
