The Useless One looks up at him curiously, a faint smile on the smaller God’s features. “Do you enjoy spark touches?”

Spark touches…

The War God laughs quietly, leaning down to meet Rung at eye-level.

Still curious are you, my friend?

Rung smiles faintly, his chin tipped up a bit, just an inch or so away from touching. There’s a cheekiness in his sparkling optics and his whole self is radiating with warmth and affection.

“How am I supposed to fantasize if I’m not close to accurate?”

A dangerous thing to fantasize about, indeed…

The flame within him flares in interest of his curious little friend, as Bellator settles himself on the edge of a statue’s base. He beckons Rung closer, an amused smirk on the in-tact side of his face.

I did warn you that the passion of all my warriors can be overwhelming. You seem unconcerned.

Does having Cybertron feel like an accomplishment? Where did Soundwave go? Does anyone look at you weird if you say I’m your friend like people look at me weird when I say you’re mine? Does killing bots ever get easy? 

Whenever it stops feeling that way, I need only look out the window at the slowly climbing towers.

…He currently runs communication lines and audio-visual monitoring for the entire planet. I have had to physically drag him from his station to persuade him to install a secondary cooling system.
I’m trying to get him to train assistants.

I doubt that our experiences are exactly the same. Post-war or not, it is inherently different for a warlord to claim friendship with a small Autobot, than for a small Autobot to do the same of a formerly enemy warlord. …I am sorry for that.

It gets very easy. That’s where the danger lies.

How does it feel, having finally earned your victory?

Honestly, how did it feel when you realized I got to decide if you lived or died?

What do you think would’ve happened if I had decided to end you?

Was it all worth it in the end?

Does the fact your entire campaign to overthrow the corrupt system that enslaved you used indiscriminate murder, forced conscription, and wholesale genocide to achieve your ends phase you at all?

If someone told you back in the mines what you would become what would you have thought of that?

Wonderful.

I was as defenseless as I’ve ever been. My frame was broken and utterly useless and a human stood inches from my weakened spark! The great gladiator of Kaon, at the mercy of a tiny organic when my death was already imminent… Pathetic. You should have taken the opportunity.

I have seen what would have happened, in alternates of mine. I would have been resurrected and enslaved by Unicron, a shell for him to occupy and carry out his whim. I am… grateful that this is not the case.

You ask that as if the end has arrived. There are still cities to build, societies to create, ages yet left to live.

Much less than you likely believe it should bother me. For the record, any attacks that I condoned were hardly indiscriminate.

I wouldn’t have believed a word of it. I may have even laughed, and thought it more likely of one of my friends instead.

What happened in your universe that was so different? Why didn’t you, like, actually kill me at Tyger Pax? What else did you see in my mind? What did it feel like to die and do you feel empty to? How much of the war do you regret?

…What can I do to help?

Having never researched your universe, I can’t say. I can only speak for my own experiences of the war.

Crushing your voicebox seemed like a fitting punishment for a stubborn scout who refused to talk. At the time whether you lived or not was irrelevant, it would have sent the same message to the Autobots. Now, I am glad for your survival.

While you were offline I saw nothing, and was easily able to take control. When you were awake, I saw your connection to Rafael, and didn’t kill him knowing that I could use that later. I saw you, shorter and weaker than you were in reality.

I have come to the brink of death many times, the closest being the space bridge explosion and of course, my defeat at your hand. My spark felt pulled away somewhere, but Unicron’s claws held it back. My body was unresponsive, and all I was aware of during the worst of it was an extremely dulled pain, which I clung to with any strength I had left. If it hurt, then I was still alive.

I am not allowed to feel empty. He is always there. Sometimes, I would rather feel the emptiness you describe.

Regret is a luxury. The past cannot be altered, whether I still agree with my choices or not. The future is what can still be affected.

Anything would be appreciated. Smokescreen is starting up an educational service, for those who have been off-planet for millenia. Talk to people, improve relations. Stop wandering around dangerous abandoned prisons and going out to Primus-knows where on your own.

💘: how does my muse act/react when they first realize that they had a crush on somebody?

The first thing he does is shove it deep, deep down where no one can find it.

For most of his life, he was constantly reminded that getting attached deeply to someone was dangerous. In the mines, in the arena, as a revolutionary, in a war- anyone around you could die at any moment. Or worse, as time went on, it became harder to tell who could even be trusted with intel, let alone his spark. The disaster with Orion didn’t help.

Even if someone might be worth the risk, if they might be a perfect companion for him, starting a relationship with the leader of a volatile faction would paint a target on their back. Anything that happened to them would be because someone was trying to hurt him. If he had feelings for that person, the worst thing he could do was admit it.

Now that things have calmed down, there isn’t nearly as much danger, but old habits die hard. Feelings of attraction still pop up as red flags for Megatron, so he ignores it for as long as he possibly can. In most cases, he eventually forgets those feelings.

ღ: how does my muse feel about displays of affection in public and/or in private?

If Megatron ever kisses someone in public, some supernatural thing is at play. He’s possessed, or some magic is forcing him to suddenly not care who sees. The most he’s comfortable doing in public is being physically close, which only translates to PDA if you have a Warlord Body Language Guide.

In private, the guy’s a secret romantic. Nuzzles, cuddling, hand-holding, all that jazz. He’s hella touch-starved, but restrains himself to what his partner is comfortable with.

❥

❥: what is my muse’s ideal date?

Megatron doesn’t really “date”, or a least he thinks he doesn’t. He just spends a dedicated amount of time with a specific person and no one else while doing things that they both enjoy.

Which is basically a date

But really, his best date would probably involve a good, hard spar, and laying together afterwards in the quiet of a habsuite, tending to any minor wounds they might have given each other. A bit of fun, a bit of intimate closeness.

💌

💌: how would my muse go about confessing to someone they liked? would they do it indirectly or directly, or maybe not at all?

Too often, not at all. In his busy life Megatron has liked and even fallen in love with several mechs, and he’s only admitted it to two of them. Much more often, things fell apart or the other died before he dared say anything. It takes him a long time to determine if it’s worth the risk.

When he actually has does confess, he does so in private. While he might appear as sure of himself and powerful as always, there is hardly a time when he’s more nervous, standing away from the person and often not looking at them. Megs hates every moment until they answer, hates feeling so vulnerable.
