Rating: Teen

Details/Themes: Hurt/comfort, AU to Welcome to Hell

"Daddy! Wow Daddy, there's a large plane at the door! There's a helicopter and a jet too!" Annabelle called.

Lennox groggily sat up out of bed, blinking a few times before pulling on the sheets and slowly making his way downstairs to his happy bouncing pajama-clad daughter who was staring in awe from the window. His little angel loved the Cybertronians but sometimes her imagination got the best of her. A jet and a helicopter? That couldn't possibly be-

The doorbell rang its innocent chime twice. Annabelle squealed and waved as shadows shifted. Sighing, Will swung the door open and came face to face with blood red optics and a fanged smile. His mouth was slightly gaping but his expression was not of surprise at the sight. In the background, Starscream and Blackout scratched awkwardly in the grass but waved back at Annabelle sweetly. When he turned his attention back to Megatron who hogged most of his view, the latter began to check him out as he only had a pair of shorts on, purring seductively but also tauntingly at his predicament.

With a forced smile, Lennox copied the smug look…until he slammed the door on the warlord's faceplates and walked away with a scowl.

His daughter gave him a stern gaze which was more adorable than intimidating from an eight year old. "Why did you do that to the robot, Daddy?"

"Because Daddy's currently not too happy with the robot lying outside my door."

"Oh."

With a frown, Lennox headed back up to his room and fell across the bed not even bothering putting the sheets back on. He laid there silently in thought. Those thoughts, however, were interrupted when he heard faint thumping noises moving around the house. If he could guess, Megatron wanted to talk to him and he wouldn't be able to get him to leave until the tyrant had his audience. He really wasn't in the mood to talk. The light of sunrise was then blocked and replaced with a faint red glow.

"What do you want?" Will groaned.

"You never told me you had a daughter."

This made the soldier looked over his shoulder at him deadpanned, "There's a reason for that when you think about it."

Megatron placed his claws on the balcony's rails with a sigh, "About the siege, I meant it when I said you were growing on me but I didn't mean to push my boundaries by asking you leave Ironhide. That was a bit uncalled for and I-"

"It's not about that! I'm not upset about Ironhide or the fact that the big bad Decepticon Leader likes me! I don't give a fuck about that!" Will shouted.

The outburst confused him, prompting him to move his optics around at a loss of words and embarrassment. "That's not…what you're mad…at?"

Lennox sat up and faced the tyrant. His expression made the Cybertronian wince a little since the mech was not used to seeing ridicule, especially from a human. There were a lot of things Will could say but he had to make it as clear as possible.

The human exhaled with a growl, "It's how you said it that makes me want to shoot you in your thick processor. You said it like I was obligated to be with you, like I didn't have a choice. Normally I would understand how hollow you can be but since you seem to have fallen for me, I expect restraint and respect if you ever want to think about having me or you can kill my ass plain and simple. Your desires and how you get them may fly on your planet but here: you want a human 'pet', you fucking earn their respect. I'm not going anywhere with you for any reason until then and if you try and take me by force, I will make you or one of your dim-witted subordinates kill me!"

"But I don't want you to-"

"Then perhaps you should work on your bravado, buddy, because I'm not going to accept that shit."

Megatron's optics dimmed. He hadn't thought he sounded that bad but apparently he did. A brief installment of guilt covered his features, making him bow his helm and rest his chin on the balcony. Wavering his sight from the floor to Lennox gave him glimpses of the human and the visible disappointment plaguing him. At one point, Will had gotten up from the bed without him noticing because he was so preoccupied with loathing himself. When he finally realized it, he grew worried and when his human failed to return after a few minutes, he whined sorrowfully.

"Wow, I can't even leave the room for five minutes to get something and you already look like a blubbering mess," Lennox smirked.

The warlord felt his spirit lifting when the soldier now stood in front of him within reach of his face. Leaning in to be closer, he noted that any further would capsize the balcony because of the pressure his servos were placing to accomplish this.

Will crossed his arms, "Now that I've had a bit of time to think things through, are you going to be rude to me after this?"

Megatron shook his helm like a child.

"Are you going to let me consider this situation first before I even think about reaching any conclusion that may or may not damn me for all eternity?"

At first, the mech gave him a rather blank stare but eventually nodded slowly keeping complete eye contact with the human.

"Good boy," Lennox chuckled as he brushed one hand on the cheek plating of the tyrant. He didn't hide any humor regarding the way Megatron seemed to lean against his palm with a purr. Oh what was he going to do with the Con?

AN: Starscream and Blackout are back because I kinda got tired of Nitro and Onslaught. I miss those knuckleheads.

Sorry for the unexplained break! As you can guess, college has it's ups and downs...safe to say that I survived a down time. I'm terribly sorry for getting nothing uploaded either but now that everything's in the green, I wish to post two more free-lance fics I had prepared before my break then I shall take the people on-hold off hold!
