Summary: There was no sweeter sound than his spark pulsing.


The younger flier always had difficulties falling into recharge, in the beginning; the shuttle would spend hours attempting to figure out ways to soothe whatever it was that ailed him. High grade only caused problems, he realised, and other activities only led to awkward mornings. Skyfire was exhausted and Starscream annoyed with the results of their trial and error.

It had been after on particularly difficult day, the seeker was in one of his foul moods and the shuttle had resorted to coddling him—much to Starscream's dismay. After some vicious whining and struggling, the jet knew he was no match for the sheer size of his partner and just rested against his torso. Oddly enough, he was left to listening to the gentle hums of the giant's systems and it was… relaxing. There were no thoughts of the day at the academy; he found himself entranced with a luring promise of recharge.

It became a nightly thing; curling to his gentle partner, listening to the melody of slumber.
