Summary:

While on the run, Jazz made a split-second decision to throw himself, quite literally, at the nearest stranger for help shaking off his pursuers.

Lucky for him, he happened to stumble across the most dramatic seeker on the surface of Cybertron.

For Jazz Week Day 7, prompts: Scoundrel / It Happened One Night

LOL This one is fun. I have this idea that Megatron "dies," and Starscream legitimately takes over. He's trying to secure his power by asking what everyone WANTS- and most (especially Soundwave) actually say they just want to go home and quit the war. So, as long as he can lead the pile, Starscream starts to negotiate with the Autobots to consider a truce.

Jazz is ecstatic. He's keeping tabs on intelligence gathering, seeing Starscream lay the groundwork for actual legitimate peace, and he encourages everyone to go through with it. He even starts to drop hints to Starscream when he sees someone start to be a little extra.

They show up for the final peace treaty- and lo and behold, Megatron reappears. Soundwave immediately blames Starscream for surrendering to the Autobots, etc- unexpected Soundwave villain here lol- and Megatron drags the seeker back to their base and reestablishes his authority.

But that gets Jazz thinking how close they were- and so he starts to try and help Starscream out. He might even promise a bonding with the Prime! Despite falling for the seeker himself ;) Kind of Cyrano de Bergerac shenanigans lol

"The utter ridiculous of it, honestly! How some mechs function with so little diodes, I'll never know-" Jazz didn't bother to respond and instead reached around and grabbed Starscream's robo-Frappuccino. It was so sweet that it blanked out his chemo receptors and Jazz's nose squished up at the taste. Starscream gave him a dirty look and Jazz took another sip. He was trying for a third when his-not-drink was snatched out of his hands.

It was instantly replaced with something equally as cold and thick as sludge; Jazz took a cherry sip. His receptors were still blanked out and scattered to the winds and it tasted like nothing. He frowned and Starscream shot him a victorious look. Jazz just stared over the drink lid and stuck his tongue out. He could vaguely see it was tinted red and Starscream's cheeks puffed, Jazz grinned behind his cup; worth it.

"I'm just impressed that you think that Skywarp even has one diode."

Starscream scoffed and waved his arm in a dismissive motion.

"His teleportation system is more complicated than one would expect. However, if he could apply those diodes to other endeavors, then maybe he would be more cognizant than a scraplet more than 10% of the time."

In a single motion, Starscream used his still waving arm to grab Jazz's drink. He took a large sip, and Jazz gawped as that 'sip' was a fifth of his drink.

"And really, your taste is atrocious." Jazz snatched his cup back and took a tiny, pity sip in response. Although, much to his delight, his sensors were up and running and he took a longer, less pitiful cheery slurp.

"Says the mech with the taste receptors of a sparkling!"

“A Sparkling!? You dare- have you even seen what you’re drinking?”

Starscream and Skywarp argue, and then fight, and then make up while still fighting. Turns out a spar is a good way to get rid of energy.

Infiltrating a human base in their alt-modes, Thundercracker suspects he might go insane if he has to keep listening to Starscream’s complaining and Skywarps….Ideas.
