TcT: 100 themes challenge, sounded interesting. Skyfire/Starscream of course, yes ghey..you'll live. Disclaimer: obviously not mine, especially with the LA movie's interpretation of Jetfire....urg. All belongs to Hasbrororororororo, for some reason.
1. Introduction
"Skyfire, this is your new lab partner Starscream. Starscream, Skyfire." Skyfire had never felt more like a piece of scrap then at that moment. The crimson optics of this seeker seemed to pierce right into his spark, sizing him up like prey to a predator's gaze. He wanted ever so much to flinch, to convey how uncomfortable the other mech was making him. But he didn't, he couldn't, there was too much of a threat of the seeker attacking him at the first show of weakness. He instead extended his hand, a clear sign of cooperation and trust, the universal sign of a truce.
Starscream, quirked his brow, scoffed, and slapped the hand away.
"I work alone." The seeker hissed before turning on turbine and walking calmly away as though he'd just spoken to the wind.
Skyfire ignored the professor's frantic apologies on Starscream's behalf, his assurance that he could easily change partners if he wished, and how no one wanted to work with Starscream anyhow.
Skyfire only grinned in return: he liked his new partner.
