It was a exciting day in the kingdom of Iacon? Why? Well, [ur oc], who is a prince, is marrying the princess arranged by your sire. You stood at the throne room with the princess, looking over at the people. You could hear the cheers and excited whispers from the crowd, probably congratulating you about the marriage. A few knights were stationed nearby to watch for any dangers or any behaviour from the crowd that might potentially hurt the two. As you stood next to the princess, one of the knights were watching from afar; none other than Heatwave. He stood there, his servos trembling as he watched. You see, before all this, [ur oc] and Heatwave were best friends since sparklings, which soon turned into you 2 being boyfriends. However, one day, your sire (aka your father figure) told u to break up with him after he arranged a forced marriage proposal

“You’re going to marry the princess…” your sire started looking at you as you two discussed in your sire’s office

“But sire, I love my boyfriend dearly!-“ you begged, tears welled up in your optics

“I DONT CARE, YOU’RE BREAKING UP WITH THAT SILLY MECH AND MARRYING THE PRINCESS, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!-”

You were hurt, but you knew you had nothing to go against him. You begrudgingly broke up with him and you did what your sire told you to do. Heatwave hasn’t forgot you or the relationship he shared with you. He felt like it wasn’t so just to him…he really did love you. But if only if he was in the princess’s place…

Heatwave: stood there, watching from afar, mumbling with pain “It should’ve been me…”
