Out Of The Closet ~ {Transformers Prime}

1 - Come out of the closet

Knockout's POV

It was a completely normal day, at least I thought.
I was just chilling in the Medbay during my beautiful day off, but then the plaintive Seeker came in.

Starscream: "YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT I'VE PASSED TODAY!"

Knockout: "Oh no, what happened?"

My tone, sarcastic, and bored like every time he comes to tell me about his day breaks slightly when I see the Seeker's paint job completely ruined.

Knockout: "OH MY PRIMUS! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PAINT JOB!?"

Starscream: "...tranks for the interest"

I ran through him, looking where the paint job was worse. Mostly on his servos and stabilizers, but a LOT on his face plate.

Knockout: "My friend, we have some work to do. It could take surgery to fix this!"

Star's optics lighted up.

Starscream: "...surgery? For this?"

Knockout: "YES! YOU'RE A MESS!"

I saw Starscream's expression changing, and I can swear that I saw him smiling and giggling like a youngling who is going to have what they want.
When Star realized that I was looking at him weirdly, he immediatamente stopped and looked at me seriously.

Starscream: "Knockout, I am going to ask you a favor that only you can do..."

Knockout: "...do you want me to change your Paint Job? I have many other colors if you wa-"

Starscream: "I'm trans."

...I was speechless.
I.couldn't.believe.it-

Knockout: "...YOU WHAT!?"

He was so... he? She? THEY-! They were so embarrassed that I could feel it from my position.
I looked at them, and calming down, I spoke again.

Knockout: "So... pronouns-?"

I swear, I didn't expect then to Starr crying.
They were sobbing like hell- what the scrap happened to this Seeker?  L

Starscream: "I-I-I... S-She/Her i-if it's not a *Sniff* problem..."

Knockout: "obviously not! Would you prefer to be called with another name?"

Starscream: "m-mh... n-no, I like mine... I always felt it... right, but my body was the wrong thing..."

Then I understood.

Knockout: "...you want me to make transition surgery on you?"

Starscream: "If it is not that much of a problem..."

What happened? Like he- she came out and now she's so sweet and kind and gentle with me- is it because I used the right pronouns? Possibile...

Knockout: "By the way, it's not a problem, I've already done some surgery of that kind, breast plate and physical appearance in general, right?"

Starscream: "y-yes... could you please change my colors too...?"

Knockout: "SURE! Now, for your style I would say something like purple and another dark color, but the frame's yours!"

Starscream: "Actually... do what you feel like"

Knockout: "...are you sure?"

Starscream: "Yeah... I trust your sense of style."

At that moment I was the one crying. Starscream never complimented me for my sense of style and now she says she trusts it!? Is this a dream!?

Knockout: "ALRIGHT! WE HAVE MUCH TO DO! THIS KIND OF SURGERY IS SOMETHING PRETTY HEAVY TO DO! But after it you'll be fine and completely recovered in some human days."

Starscream: "Thank you Knockout..."

Starscream went back to her work and I went back to mine, I had to look for some femme body parts of a certain size!
