    Summary

    Small talk — that was something couples did, wasn’t it?

    “It’s not hard,” he remembered Jazz saying once, when he’d tried to explain the concept of small talk to him. “Just say the first thing that comes to mind and let the conversation flow from there, y’know?”

    Prowl glanced down at the treat in his hands. Just say the first thing that comes to mind.

    “You know,” Prowl said off-handedly after a few moments of silence, “I always imagined that the sound of snapping a rust stick is what snapping someone’s struts would sound like.” He broke the rust stick he was fiddling with in two, as if to accentuate his point.

    The restaurant fell silent at his statement, and Prowl could feel his auxiliary panels try and shrink closer to his frame, as if to shield him from the affronted looks. Starscream stared at him for a moment, before a smirk crossed his face.

    “No, no,” he said. “Have you ever had rust sticks dipped in mercury? The noise those make is far more accurate — it’s difficult to break the struts without breaking a few energon lines, so the mercury helps it make that sort of particular wet snapping sound.”

    Summary

    Starscream assesses him, the look in his optics keener than Prowl would prefer. “I suppose we’ve never talked about this,” Starscream says, making a lewd gesture in the direction of his own spark chamber. Prowl doesn’t give him the reaction he’s obviously seeking. “Have you finally come to sweep me off my feet? Shall we go on a date?”

    The war is over, but the peace is uneasy at best.

Neither SIC is thrilled, but they don't object too much, at least not when the agreement is made.

    Summary

    As Starscream softly bites into his neck, Wheeljack isn’t sure how they managed to get here so quickly. He relives their conversation in his mind. One minute Starscream’s animatedly telling him how stressed he is, how he wishes he had something to alleviate it. Wheeljack teases the concept as a joke, not expecting Starscream to reply with a ‘Why not, next week at mine?’

    That was a month ago. They’ve been at it once a week since, same time, same place. It’s… becoming familiar, now, and Wheeljack doesn’t know how to feel about that. About how his instincts are telling him to relax into the hands currently trailing up his back, palms smoothing over the expanse.
