He still has enough of his wits about him to keep from speaking the words out loud.
Skyfire? he mouths.
He wants to scream it. He wants to screech it out loud, he wants to cry out for him and he can't.
He can't because saying that name will utterly ruin everything he has done.
So he says it silently, mouthing the word, pounding against the glass as the bus starts to pull away.
"No, no, please, don't leave!" he yells, walking, then running alongside the bus. "Please! No, you don't know how long I've looked, how long I've wanted to see you I thought you were dead, again, no, please, god, don't leave me!"
Sky, my open sky, wide and welcome my sky, oh Primus don't go again, Skyfire please...
But the bus picks up speed and he starts running faster, feet pounding on the pavement as he goes, duffel bag banging into his side.
"Stop! STOP! PLEASE, CHARLIE, NO, DON'T GO, GOD PLEASE JUST... just... no..."
He slows down as the bus pulls away, just standing on the curb, feeling stupid, feeling like an utter protoform, Primus why are you being so emotional, you are a leader of Decepticons, you are not this, shut up and stop...
He blames Claire, because at the back of his mind even she's sobbing, and it's like something horrible out of a video, he sinks to his knees on the dirty sidewalk.
