I just have the image of Orion being so devastated when Sam dies in the Revenge of the Fallen version
Especially since they got together in the years it.
The thought of Orion being absolutely ragged looking and just devastated over the loss of Sam? Ugh! I love it!
Like everyone’s devastated. Sam was their family and one of the youngest among them, it’s rough losing a child to the war, especially one you’ve come to care for like a son/brother.
But Orion loved Sam. Was in love with him and thought the absolute world of him. So losing him like he had, watching the light fade out of his eyes that close and having his lover’s final words be a plea for him to run away?
Orion had nightmares about it, even after they’d gotten him back. If he hadn’t been as small as he was he doubts any of them ever would’ve pulled him away from Sam in that moment. He was old. He’d lived a good life and he’d just lost his lover. He didn’t really see a point in living on.
But Bee wouldn’t have it. He was determined that they’d get his brother back and he wasn’t gonna have his brother come back without Orion there as well. He’d chain the man in his seat if he tried to decide otherwise as well.
