We are planning a life together. There is no lie in that statement, and Loki is getting less afraid of it all, but it still feels momentous. She gives a shaky sigh and smiles a little. "I was afraid for a very long time. To afraid to explain what I was afraid of. I'm still getting used to being defended and having that which I feared be gone."
"A word will come to us in time," she says confidently. "But lover or partner will do until something more apt comes along, I think."
But she does understand what he means. That she has made a sudden and profound difference in his outlook, that she has been a touchstone, and what that means to him.
"Mostly cozy," she says with a smile. "I like being held. There is something primal in that physical comfort."
One eye opens, sparkling with mischief. "I think you promised me something earlier, though."
"I also have old fears," Megatron whispers. He has words, but they are Cybertronian words, and the words aren't just names for relationships; they are names for longings he gave up on in the name of his cause. Now he wonders if that was a mistake; if having had those longings fulfilled would have made him a better and kinder leader. The point might be moot, though. He has loved many people and will love many more. But she may be the only person in the multiverse who could ever take that particular seat in his heart.
He smiles at the mischief he sees in her open eye fondly. "Any promise I have made you, you are always free to claim. Or is it I who should be claiming something, here? Because I can be ready to stake my claim with the least provocation from you."

"Of course you do," she says gently. "You would not be the person you are, otherwise. We have time, elskan mín."
This love affair has been a headlong rush from compassion to passion, and sometimes things do just happen that fast, but that doesn't mean they need continue to happen all at once.
Still, at that playful question there's a subtle little squirm in her hips, and the blossoming smile on her face promises trouble. "I think you'd better find a tree for us, then, my dear."
[[Yeah, I'd like to keep things SFW on here, so if you'd like to continue on your journal I'd be game, or I could set up a continuation on the NSFW post.]]
[[there you go, also, just trying to keep the order of things straight in my head, I went and looked--this is before Loki meets Ravage and Soundwave, and before Loki falls down the stairs and Meg meets the kids, and that's the night before Loki drops the ILY, and the Dawning is after all three of these scenes...]]
