~Worth It~ (Megatron x Starscream)

11: Sparks and apologies

2 weeks later

Knock Out had been acting weird lately, he doesn't seem like himself and has been avoiding Breakdown for some time after that crazy party and the wrecker was really concerned thinking that he had upset his partner in some way. "Knock Out?" Starscream called as he entered the medbay, looking around for the medic who would usually be there, "Knock Out, Breakdown's been wanting to talk to you," the seeker started walking around trying to find that sports car but he couldn't seem to find him.

"I'll put paint on your precious buffer then-" "NO DON'T!" Knock Out finally came out of hiding, "What in the name of Primus are you doing?! Breakdown has been worried about you!" Starscream yelled.

The medic whimpered and walked over to the monitors to show Starscream a scan he recently did by himself, the seeker was confused but upon seeing the data.

Knock Out was sparked.

"I'm telling Megatron..." Starscream said receiving a slap from the angered medic, "I am not ready to tell anyone about the sparkling! Let alone Megatron, who knows what'll happen?!" Knock Out yelled. They both jumped at the sound of Laserbeak's buzzing from outside in the hallway, the drone flew past the medbay and continued it's patrol throughout the ship, "Did he hear us?" Knock Out asked, "Let's hope not."

Starscream looked at the medic who was on the verge of tears, he didn't know why the sudden mood change happened but he didn't take it as a good sign.

Knock Out was about to say something but then Breakdown entered the medbay with a bright smile showing on his face.

The wrecker greeted Starscream and then his partner, "Hey Knocks. You haven't been talking to me lately, I hope I didn't do anything wrong..." Breakdown said, the seeker was signaling Knock Out to tell him already and be done with it but the medic just wasn't ready, "Y-You didn't do anything wrong, Breakdown," Knock Out said with a small sigh. "I haven't been feeling like myself lately," Knock Out sighed. "Look up at the monitor Breakdown," Starscream said, Knock Out froze realizing he had forgotten to turn it off, Breakdown looked up and his jaw immediately dropped upon seeing the scan results.

"Y-You.. You're sparked?!" Breakdown exclaimed and started pacing the room, frantically yelling a bunch of random gibberish while Starscream wheezing on the floor.

Definitely not the reaction Knock Out expected.

Breakdown suddenly ran up and hugged the medic tightly while laughing in pure joy, "We're having our own sparkling!" The wrecker cheered.

Knock Out was shocked and surprised, he didn't know Breakdown would be so happy, "We are keeping it... Aren't we?" Breakdown suddenly asked, tilting his head head as he looked down at the medic who chuckled and nodded, "Of course we are," Knock Out said, placing his head on Breakdown's chassis as he let out a content hum. Starscream just felt like the third wheel and cleared his throat to get their attention, the two bots whipped their heads to face him while blushing profusely.

Soundwave burst into the room holding a cake in his hands, "Congratulations! You fragged and made a sparkling!" Soundwave said.

"Excellent choice of words Soundwave," Starscream chuckled as he watched Soundwave's tentacles move the cake towards Knock Out and Breakdown.

They read the words on the cake, 'Congratulations! You're sparked!' Breakdown couldn't help but smile in amusement while Knock Out just blushed and thanked Soundwave for the cake, taking it in his hands and leading Breakdown over to his table so they could eat it together. Starscream and Soundwave decided to leave them alone so they could have peace, the silent con went on to do his job while the seeker went to accompany Megatron in the throne room, once there, he saw his master reading a holo pad looking quite annoyed, "Good morning, Starscream," the warlord's face brightened up a little after seeing his second in command.

Starscream smiled, "Good morning to you too my liege," the seeker replied, his wings suddenly perking up when he remembered the good news, "Oh, and Knock Out is sparked," Megatron was surprised by that news.

"Who's the sire?" The gladiator asked, "Breakdown, obviously. I'm just glad their stars finally aligned," Starscream chuckled, "Well that's good news, I will congratulate them... When I escape my duties," Megatron said.

Starscream nodded and offered to help out, of course Megatron couldn't pass up that opportunity so he let the seeker help him with his work, the warlord couldn't get that thought out of his head, the thought of having his own sparkling one day. He's never really thought about having a mate and raising a family, but now, the thought won't leave his processor. He looks to the seeker who was humming the old Vosian song he knew all too well, like a lullaby made for sparklings to put them to sleep, it seems that Starscream hasn't realized he was singing out loud but Megatron didn't want to ruin the sight of his seeker acting so calm so he didn't say anything. Nothing at all.

The warlord tried his best not to stare at his second's frame for too long, but he couldn't help it. He noticed things about Starscream that he has never acknowledged before.

Of course, Starscream finally realized Megatron's silence and looked at the warlord only for their eyes to lock onto each other, the seeker blushed, wings fluttering slightly as he grew more and more flustered.

"A-Are you alright my lord?" Starscream asked, his master didn't say anything only letting a small hum escape his lips, perhaps the seeker didn't remember what he said at the night of the party, the fact that he told Megatron how he felt, how he thought that he was worthless and unworthy of being the right hand bot of a mighty warlord. "Master-" Starscream was cut off by Megatron's lips, wrapping him in a passionate, yet rough kiss, the seeker's wings fluttered once again and he kissed back.

The warlord picked Starscream up and pinned him to the wall, the seeker's legs wrapped around Megatron's wide hips while his clawed hands were on the others chassis.

They pulled back for air and Megatron immediately brought their lips back together after a few moments, he slipped his tongue inside causing a low moan to escape Starscream.

Megatron was obviously the dominant one, Starscream having melted into the kiss and his touch. The warlord parted their lips, panting for air as they looked into each others eyes, "Starscream... I apologize for everything I've ever said and done," Megatron said, "Really?" Starscream asked and the other nodded, letting a smile show on his face.

"I'm sorry too. For, trying to kill you all those other times..." The seeker chuckled, Megatron placed his hand on Starscream's cheek and caressed it with his thumb letting out a low chuckle.

"Shall we start over? My dear Starscream," the seeker blushed at the sudden change of tone in Megatron's voice, but he returned a smile and held the warlord's hand.

"Of course, master..."
