i think i’m going to go with bot here...

~~~

it’d been a long, long day, and you were spent. anyone who tried to talk to you got brushed off firmly. your capacity for social interaction was at its limit. so you made your way back to your room and shut yourself in, locking the door behind you before laying down on your berth to relax.

until the doorbell sounded.

“ugh...who is it?” you called out, sounding quite annoyed.

“...perhaps i should have called, first. i’m sorry,” said the rather familiar voice from the other side.

you sat bolt upright. “Starscream?”

“yes?”

you quickly got up and unlocked the door, letting it slide open to bring your partner into view. “i’m sorry, i didn’t know it was you...come in.”

“are you sure? you sounded like you want to be left alone.”

you shook your head and gestured inwards. “no. please...come in.”

he obliged, but not without giving you a concerned, suspicious look.

you closed the door behind him, and he sat himself down in a chair near your berth, which you sat yourself upon.

“something’s wrong.”

“i...had a long day. a long, tiring day. i didn’t want visitors, but i didn’t expect you to just...show up. i’m sorry,” you said, once more apologizing for your snapping at him.

“i know how you are, it’s alright. you don’t have to apologize. but...why allow me in if your will to communicate is gone?”

you took a deep vent, your optics pointed firmly at the floor. “because, Starscream...you’re the only person i can talk to no matter how tired i am. i always want you around. i always have energy for you. you mean so much to me that...that i want to be with you no matter what.”

you heard a couple of footsteps and went to look up, but he made you look up by gently pushing up on your chin a split-second before pressing his lips against your own.

when he pulled away, he spoke quietly. “that’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever said to me.”

trembling with nervousness, you somehow brought yourself to connect your gaze with his.

“can you cuddle with me?”

oh boy ehehe i may run with this one

i’m going to pretend it’s his kid. some kind of questionable DNA/CNA compatibility. and his partner is the one who carried. they fucked while he was mass-displaced and, much to the surprise of literally everyone, including Shockwave, they got pregnant.

it’d probably act, for the most part, like a normal human baby. and it would be normal human baby size. so he’d have to use his holoform to interact with it at all beyond letting it sit in the palm of his hand. but he really does love playing with his baby, despite what he’d say when asked. s/o notices though, and they’re so happy.

but oh god, he’s confused. don’t let him try and take care of the kid alone for the first couple of months. s/o ends up answering a lot of questions like...

oh primus, why does it smell?

why does it keep throwing its toys?!

IT THREW UP HOW DO I CLEAN IT UP

[sobbing] why won’t it just go to sleep already

why is it crying now

not only is he a first-time dad, but he’s a first-time dad who knows absolutely nothing about humans and even less about human babies. he needs help. s/o learned the hard way not to leave them alone for too long. they walked into the room once to see both baby and dad crying.

he gets screechy and prideful when he’s called out. he can’t decide between “your finish can kiss my aft, i’m flirting here” and “don’t just say that out loud where they can hear, this is a process you dense afthole” so . . .

“I--you--how dare you interrupt me!” He screeches, wings held high and stiff, pointing an accusatory talon. “I am in the middle of a conversation with--”

“Don’t be such a fragging drama queen, Starscream. Your wing language is lost on anyone but another seeker, and you know it.” Knockout replied, scowling. He turned and began to walk away. “But if you insist, I’ll leave you to your conversation, as I’d like to enjoy my free time without risk of physical injury.” 

Starscream growled, but did nothing more. He simply turned back towards his conversational partner with an exasperated expression on. “Ugh, what a...” He stopped himself and shook his head. “Never mind that. What was I saying?”

His precious human simply looked up at him, smiling. “I don’t remember now, but...do you have something to tell me?” They said, recalling Knockout’s words.

“Ah--I--well, that is--uh...”

He wasn’t about to lie to their face. But...he also wasn’t quite ready for this. He’d really wanted them to be the one to bring it up.

Because then he wouldn’t have to worry about being rejected.

He wouldn’t be able to handle it if they rejected him.

Even so, a small part of his processor was urging him to go on, reminding him of how good they made him feel. How good he wanted to make them feel in return.

He vented deeply, his wings falling.

This is it, he thought. All...or nothing.

“I...do. And that is that...I...” He paused for just a moment, suddenly unsure of how to string words into sentences. “I love you.”

He watched with fear as their face went through a series of expressions: confusion, realization, soft shock, and finally...a smile.

“Star, I...I had no idea...” Their voice was soft, and he thought he could see tears building up in their eyes. “I love you too.”
