4 – Bonding
My seeker was fully grown now.
Standing to half of my height, he was as tall as most Transformers now. And Primus, it was no wonder the femmes had gone gaga over him at the Science academy. His childlike cuteness had been replaced by that of a handsome mech, and it made me proud that I had somewhat raised him. He loved flying much more now, and would spend many hours in the skies with me, or on his own.
He was not interested really in getting a femme friend. He was more interested in his work to bother with a relationship; I saw, and spend many hours at home reading. But soon it was time for us to depart Cybertron and become explorers. He was as excited as I was about travelling to different worlds.
I had just come home now, having had to go and stock up on the basic supplies for our trip to Orbitus – a strange planet that was rumoured to have life.
As I put the large crate full of Energon down, I spotted Starscream in the lounge, watching a holo-vid about exploration. He was sitting with his hands in front of him, like a cat would sit, his optics glued on the screen. I chuckled to myself; the seeker might have grown up, but he still did the strangest things.
"Hey! Starscream turn that off!" I called. "Come on! We need to get ready to go!"
My call snapped him out of it, and he got up, turning off the holo-vid as he did.
"Oo! You got some heavy stuff!" He said in glee, having spotted the red energon. I quickly, but lightly batted his hand away from it with a grin.
"Not now, you naughty seeker." I mothered. It was so funny to play games with my seeker.
He fake pouted and whined, "But I want it …"
I waved my finger, "We can't always get what we want-"
"But I can fight you for it!"
He suddenly tackled me. Surprised, I fell down with him laughing at me. I soon joined in, having no idea why we were laughing. I guess it was because he was nervous about the voyage …
We packed within that day, and headed to Orbitus.
