Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers! I wish I did, that'd be cool.

Author's Note: I intend for this fic to only be about five chapters long. These events take place in between Transformer Prime: Orion Pax parts 1-3. This whole thing is centered around a mech/mech relationship, so if you don't like then be gone! Otherwise, enjoy!

Sparks: Chapter One

Megatron stepped through the medbay doors with a small smile on his face. Orion Pax sat in the chair, patiently allowing Knock Out to poke and prod at his frame. Orion looked up at his entrance and gave Megatron a hesitant smile.

Megatron walked over to his friend's side. "It's been too long, brother. I am glad to have you back."

Orion shifted slightly in his chair. "It's good to see you, but I must confess it has not been so long for me."

"Oh?" Megatron asked, "What is the last thing you remember?"

Orion opened his mouth plates, but closed them again as his gaze wondered to Knock Out.

Megatron glared at the medic. "Knock Out, do you mind giving us a moment?"

Knock Out shook his head as he bowed out. "Of course not, my lord. I need to run some tests, anyway. I shall return later." Knock was lying, but Megatron appreciated the deception.

Megatron turned to his comrade. His hand went up to brush the Decepticon symbol possessively. "What is the last thing you remember?"

Orion looked away. "I…I remember traveling to Kaon."

"Which time?" Megatron chuckled. "We've had many meetings there."

Orion spoke softly, "Not like this one. It was the first time I stayed for the night."

Megatron suddenly realized he'd been tracing the lines of his symbol on Orion's arm. The mech was trembling slightly under his hand. "I see." The sliver tyrant smirked.

"Tell me everything."

Kaon didn't have a nightlife. Orion Pax looked out the windows of his temporary quarters, watching the lights flicker out below. The darkness encroached upon the city, leaving only the fires of industry to continue burning. Orion shivered at the sight. Now he knew why mechs compared this city to the Pit.

His door opened. Orion jumped at the sudden sound. He turned to look.

Megatronus walked through the door. Orion sighed in relief. The door closed behind his friend. Megatronus smirked. "Afraid of the dark?"

Orion huffed. "Of course not." He looked away at the wall. "I'm simply unaccustomed to this place."

Megatronus walked over to him. "Do you think you can recharge here?"

Orion's optics fell to look at the floor. "I don't wish to seem ungrateful, but…" He trailed off and crossed his arms in front of him.

"My friend, don't be so formal. If you need something, you must only ask it of me. After all, I am your host." The grey mech stepped forward. "Tell me what you desire, Orion."

Orion looked up at him. His blue eyes shone brightly in the dark. Megatronus felt his intakes hitch at the sight. Everything about Orion drew him in. He couldn't explain it. This mech sought him out, demanded his attention, and showed bravery that Megatronus knew from experience few mechs possessed.

Finally, Orion requested, "Can I see where you train?"

Megatronus was taken aback by the question. "Now?"

"Oh, no, of course not." Orion shook his helm. "In the morning, after you recharge." Orion turned away. "I'm sorry, how thoughtless of me. You must want to rest."

The gladiator turned revolutionary could feel Orion trying to distance himself. It bothered him. Him, a warrior, used to taking what he wanted and never apologizing for it. In this moment, he wanted to give, not take. It was an alien feeling to him.

"Orion, so long as you are my guest, you can have whatever you ask for." Megatronus walked back over to the door. "Follow me."

Orion quickly caught up with him. "Thank you." He followed Megatronus out. They walked down several hallways. Orion tried to keep track on how to get back, but the place felt like a maze. With every turn, Orion felt more and more lost. Still, he had Megatronus as his guide.

Orion gazed at the back of the intimidating mech in front of him. This mech who spoke of freedom for all Cybertronians, giving voice to Orion most secret thoughts and feelings, made Orion feel desire like no other mech had before. Was it because of his terrible strength? Was it the thrill of being close to someone changing his world? Remaking everything? Or was it because this mech understood him in a way no one else ever could?

With a sigh, Orion shoved those thoughts away. Megatronus thought of him as a brother, friend, and comrade. He would not jeopardize his place because of some ridiculous emotions.

Megatronus paused before a door.

When it opened, Orion was treated to a sight. Several levels of rings, each bearing more intricately designed arenas than the one before, went all the way up to the roof of the building. Obstacle courses were charred by laser fire and scarred by pointed blades.

Orion had always wondered if the gladiator training was really as intense as the archives boasted. Now, he wondered if it was actually understated. "You train here?" Orion said in awe.

Megatronus chuckled. "Well, we certainly don't dance here."

Orion chuckled in return. "What a shame." He twirled on the pad of his left pede. "I like dancing."

Megatronus snorted. "My mechs all have two left feet. Their prides would be shattered if they tried."

Orion turned to give Megatronus a cheeky grin. "I don't suppose their dancing skills are a reflection of their leader?"

Megatronus' mouth fell open. "Did you just challenge me?"

Orion shrugged. "Take it as you will."

Megatronus frowned. "You should know I take challenges seriously, and I am always the victor."

Orion put his servos on his hips. "Then show me what you've got, Megatronus."

The grey mech grinned and stepped forward. He stopped just in front of Orion. He gently pulled Orion's left hand into his. "Follow my lead."

Orion felt his intakes hitch. "Always."

"And then…" Orion closed his mouth. "I don't remember."

Megatron hummed in acknowledgment. "Perhaps later I shall fill in your memories with the rest of the tale."

Orion tilted his helm. "Perhaps?"

"Perhaps." Megatron teased as he made his way towards the door. "For now, I shall tell our planet's history that you've forgotten. Come to the bridge with me."
