A/N: This is in Skywarp's POv and depics the first time he ever met Will. The setting is obviously set back on Cybertron.

"Yo, Screamer, whatcha go there?" I asked boisterously as I saw Starscream walking down the hall and was about to enter his room, his servos covering something in his palm.

Starscream looked at me sharply. "Be quiet, Skywarp!" he hissed.

I was very curious now. "Come on, what is it?" I asked.

For some reason, Starscream bristled, and looked very irritated at the word 'it'. "Fine, I'll show you, but you are not to speak a word about what you see, understood?" he snarled.

I knew this was serious if Starscream was acting more vicious than usual. "'Kay, now what is it?"

"Follow me." He said still looking irritated.

I followed him into his room and when he turned around, I was sure my jaw had unhinged to the floor. In Starscream's palm was a tiny black sparkling with blue and purple accents. "That's…that's…" 'Certainly not an 'it.''

"A sparkling?" Starscream finished amused and tickled the sparkling under the chin, eliciting a coo and a click from the sparkling.

"So cute!" I grinned and got closer. "Where on Cybertron did you find him?"

"I didn't find him," Starscream hissed, sounding offended, "I had him."

"Had?" I questioned sharply. "Are you a…Carrier?" I whispered.

Starscream nodded. "I was able to hide it by making the glass covering my spark to look like a different color than silver. Will has this too, and he won't be able to get sparked up unless he bonds with somebot."

"Will?" I repeated.

"His designation." Starscream replied and I nodded.

"Interesting name." I said and nervously held out my servos. "Can I hold him?"

Starscream stared at me. "You better not drop him." He growled.

"I won't." I promised seriously and was handed Will, who looked up at me with big, gray, optics. "Why are his optics gray?"

"They're to make him unique, memorable." Starscream replied.

"So who's the sire?" I asked curiously.

That made him frown. "I suppose it won't matter soon anyway," he muttered, "since Will is going to be announced Megatron's heir soon and be perceived as Allspark born. You will not say a word otherwise, understood?" he hissed.

I nodded, but balked. "Wait. Megatron?" I repeated. "Holy slag, you bonded with the boss?" I was very torn, not knowing whether to laugh or choke on air.

"Yes, bonded." Starscream confirmed looking sour. His look softened as he looked back down to the sparkling in my palms. "Will is the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"Hey, what about me and TC?" I asked affronted.

"Sparkling trumps Trine." Starscream replied easily. "Besides, he's cuter."

"Hey!" I retorted, then brought Will up to optic level to examine him better. Big, adorable optics, cute little clicking, overall novelty of sparkling cuteness, and –"Wing nubs?" I questioned seeing two tiny bumps on his back. "He's a seeker?"

Starscream smirked. "Of course, you honestly thought he'd be a grounder?"

I made a non-committal sound before grinning again. "This means we can teach him to fly when he's older!"

"What do you mean, 'we?'" Starscream questioned acidly.

"Come on, Screamer, when are we going to have the chance to teach a seekerling flight?" I asked pouting.

Starscream sighed heavily and took Will back. "See what I have to deal with?" he asked Will, who cooed back. "Hopefully you won't have a trine mate or just plain mate in general that's as idiotic as him. If you don't, I'll be content."

"Hey!" I yelled in offence when I realized it was me he was talking about. "Who are you calling an idiot?"
