: Idiot.

Megatron's helm jerked up. He had been talking about the night before with Soundwave, and had not expected that response.

"What did you say?"

: Megatron ; Idiot.

Soundwave turned to him, and he found himself greatly offended. "No, I'm sure I'm on the right track. He'll be mine before the next two weeks are over. The gladiator responded, leaning against a control console.

Soundwave didn't move, still as a statue before he responded.

: Bet?

It had been a long time since him and Soundwave made a bet, and he intended to win this bet.

"What are we betting for?"

: Megatron ; Watch Soundwave's tamagotchis.

"And you'll babysit our sparklings."

: Bet?

"Bet."

The gladiator walked through the halls, making his way to medbay. He poked his head in, and spotted Knockout and Breakdown, talking quietly to themselves. They both looked up upon his entrance.

"You two." Megatron started, walking in. "What do you know about Starscream? Personally."

Knockout tilted his helm, and Breakdown was the first to answer. "I don't think we know much about him, to be honest. He's reserved, nearly refuses to talk about himself before the war. But his siblings are dead."

"Nearly all Vosian seekers are dead, Breakdown." Knockout said, raising a hand to his hip.

"Oh. Sorry.."

Megatron rolled his optics. "Nothing? Nothing at all?" He huffed, "What about his delusional speeches? Nothing there? Nothing you've asked about?"

"Lord Megatron, his helm and focuses seem to be in the present. So we wouldn't know." Knockout said, before tilting his helm. "Try asking Starscream."

Or, will the poor guy run away?" He said in a baby-ish voice, a coy grin on his face before soft laughter erupted from him and his husband.

Megatron shook his helm, before looking around the room. Equipment, cleaning supplies (he assumed Breakdown was just using them), Romance novels scattered in a few spots— wait.

Megatron grinned, turning to Knockout again as the red sports car stopped laughing.

"If I'm being horrifically honest," He started, putting up an annoyed front, "I suppose maybe that...I would like to get to know him better—"

His plan worked immediately.

"—are you fruity, Lord Megatron?" Knockout said, giving him some type of homophobic homosexual stare.

Megatron huffed. "Perhaps..."

"Meet me here tomorrow same time, I'll talk to him." Knockout grinned, catching a surprised look from Breakdown.

Megatron smiled in return, "Thank you, Knockout."
