After much consideration, I have decided to rewrite this story and expand it. I would like to thank Morrigayn Dewyvern for helping me come up with the ideas to expand it, and I am so happy that they convinced me to do so.

This is set in my AU of Transformers G1, (emphasis on the AU!).

This is the prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own Transfromers, it belongs to Hasbro. Period.

Warnings: angst, some interface(consensual)/ mentions of assault(non-con), and some scenes of sickness.

Also, there is slash. If you don't like it, please politely turn around and don't read this if you don't like slash.

enjoy!

Prologue: Truly, Madly and Deeply

...

One thing anyone would know about love is that it was never planned. One could not decide who they fall in love with, though many have tried and one in a trillion have succeeded in doing so. Sometimes, it is mistaken for hatred, other times people mistake lust, infatuation and obsession for love, before they realise they're true feelings after it ends in disaster.

But the strangest thing about love is that when one is truly in love, no one ever falls out of it. And those who do, may not have been in love to begin with and have yet to find it with the right person.

It was a powerful and dangerous emotion as well, that can easily lead to pain and suffering. And no one would know that better than Megatron and Optimus Prime.

They met by running into each other at the borderline between Kaon and Polyhex: The Prime was returning to Iacon through Kaon from an appointment with one of his councilors, while Megatron had been running to get to a weapons-smith that lived near the edge of the city to pick up some swords. It had been interesting when Megatron found his field of vision full of the color red, then with the Prime's slightly bewildered and embarrassed optics staring at him.

The two mechs had spent a few minutes apologizing, helping each other up, and trying to see if the other was alright, before introducing themselves. It had been a shock to the young gladiator when he had found out he had ran right smack into the leader of their planet, Optimus Prime, because he hadn't been paid attention to where he was running. Long story, short: the two mechs had quickly parted ways towards their separate destinations after making sure they were all right. But that didn't stop them from taking a slight glance back at each other when they parted ways, a small twinkle of interest in their optics.

It didn't end there however: it seemed that whenever they decided to leave their own dwellings, they happened to bump into each other, and the more times they saw each other, they struck up a conversation, each one getting longer and longer as the unplanned meetings turned into a most unexpected friendship. And then, as more time passed, it had progressed and grew slowly but surely into something much more, as the link that seemed to bind them together in friendship, grew stronger into a bond of love.

If only they knew the dark, heart-breaking future that was laid out for them.
