~Worth It~ (Megatron x Starscream)

9: Parties and confessions

[Warning: Intoxication / Alcohol consumption]

Vehicons have started a party to celebrate their commander's return and most of the crew was drunk already, just from a few sips of high grade. Knock Out ended up making out with Breakdown in the middle of the cafeteria and vehicons were cheering them on, Shockwave was just sitting at a table with Soundwave, they played cards together since they didn't feel like partying with the wild vehicons. Megatron was sitting with Airachnid, still trying to convince her that their relationship is over but she wouldn't let it go, the warlord eventually gave up trying to speak with her.

His gaze drifting off to another bot across the room, Starscream, the seeker was surrounded by vehicons who gave him all the love and attention they could offer.

It was an adorable sight, but Megatron preferred seeing Starscream alone, with him. "Chug, chug, chug, chug!" Vehicons cheered for Dreadwing as he chugged down a whole cube of high grade in one go, "WHOOO!" They exclaimed victoriously before their commanding officer suddenly passed out drunk on the floor, causing a bunch of slurred laughs to erupt from Megatron's henchmen. He even caught a glimpse of Starscream's adorable smile, "What are you staring at?" Airachnid asked, crossing her arms in anger.

"Nothing that concerns you," Megatron replied, giving her an eye roll as he went back to watching the vehicons party like there was no tomorrow. The spider hissed and got up from her seat before storming off.

A vehicon suddenly handed Starscream a tube, at the end of it, there was a funnel being held by another vehicon and the vehicon right next to him was holding a large cube of high grade.

Oh Primus, Megatron remembered how much of a party animal Starscream was back in Cybertron.

Always getting dragged home by Megatron due to being drunk from the booze. This was going to get interesting. Starscream put the end of the tube into his mouth and the vehicon started pouring the high grade into the funnel, others were cheering and screaming as they watched their air commander chug the high grade down, others joined in and poured more high grade into the funnel. Looks like the party animal still hasn't left Starscream after all these eons, Megatron felt as if the seeker had beaten him or something.

But he didn't feel like drinking tonight, maybe next time when things aren't as wild, by now, everyone in the cafeteria was cheering on for Starscream, "OH YEAH! Commander Starscream just downed a whole 5 cubes of high grade folks!" A vehicon slurred out.

A few vehicons had already passed out, some were piled up on Dreadwing like a little mountain in the middle of the cafeteria, everything had suddenly gone quiet, everyone had passed out.

Knock Out and Breakdown were gone, probably off doing the nasty in their berthroom. Soundwave and Shockwave were looking around the vehicons who seemed to have knocked themselves out with all the wild partying, "This party was... Illogical," Shockwave said, poking Dreadwing's face a little, "Eh, world's worst hangover," Soundwave shrugged and Megatron couldn't help but chuckle.

He then noticed Starscream's drowsy form leaned against the wall, "We'll clean this up tomorrow, go to bed you two..." Megatron ordered and the two bots nodded before leaving.

"Starscream," the warlord called, catching the seeker's attention.

Starscream suddenly ran up to him and hugged him tightly, "Hey Optimus... Ya look kinda different..." The seeker giggled drunkenly, great, he thought Megatron was Optimus now, "I'm not Optimus," Megatron rumbled, "Oh... Of course-- you are," Starscream said, hiccuping in between a few words. "Let's go see the moon! I heard it was pretty..." Starscream then started dragging Megatron by the hand, they walked to the flight deck where the seeker danced and twirled around with his heeled pedes, laughing happily when the moonlight met his eyes.

"Isn't it beautiful?" The seeker asked, hugging the warlord's arm lovingly as he let out a slight purr. Megatron couldn't help but blush, "I-It is indeed."

Starscream looked up at him with wide curious eyes, "Why are you grey Optimus? Y'look spikey too," the seeker giggled at the warlord who sighed and sat down, placing Starscream on his lap.

"As I said, I'm not Optimus. I am Megatron," he said causing the seeker to burst into a fit of laughter, "Hmm. Very funny Starscream, what's on your mind?" Megatron asked with a slight growl, Starscream's laugh fading into a series of soft giggles that were like music to his audio receptors, "Do you promise not to tell anyone about this Optimus?" Starscream asked, "Yes... I promise," the warlord replied, feeling a bit uneasy about what the seeker might say. "I feel as if no one appreciates me and my master gets mad if I make mistakes. I feel as if I shouldn't be his second in command, I am not worth his time anyway," Starscream said, it was a full blown confession and Megatron heard it all loud and clear.

Starscream whimpered softly and nuzzled into the warlord's chassis for some comfort, his actions were returned by an arm wrapping around him, pulling him closer than before.

"What do you think about Megatron?" The warlord asked, "I don't know. But I don't want to kill him, he's important to me," Starscream replied with a sigh.

Megatron smiled at that and carefully placed his sharp claws under Starscream's chin, making the seeker look up at him, "I am glad you think that way, even if I hurt you. I'm sorry, Starscream," the former gladiator said with a soft voice, "I'm sorry too, master..." The seeker suddenly moved shifted on Megatron's lap, making sure he was now completely facing the warlord, legs hooked together around Megatron's wide hips, hands wrapped around his neck while their eyes were locked together.

"Starscream-" Megatron was cut off by the seeker's lips, cold, yet gentle against his own, he kissed back to Starscream's surprise.

It was quiet the eventful night...
