    Summary

    Starscream’s optics flick up, sharp and piercing, scanning the room for the first time.

    They land on Jazz.

    Jazz keeps his posture rigid, blank, obedient. He’s been under Optimus Prime’s gaze, under Prowl's, under far more respectable mechs than Starscream; he knows how to hold steady under scrutiny.

    Starscream’s stare is… Different.

    Calculating. Predatory. Uncomfortably sharp, like a dagger pressed under his chin.

    “You.” Starscream says, pointing with the mug. “New.”

    Jazz snaps a salute a half-klik faster than regulation.

    “Yes, sir. Adagio, sir.”

    “I didn’t ask.” Starscream sneers.

    -

    Jazz goes undercover in the decepticon ranks. He learns more about Starscream and Megatron than he'd intended.

    Summary

    An armistice with a shaky foundation is not the ideal time to have a crisis about potential physical feelings for his Second-In-Command, but Megatron is going through it regardless. Starscream is as shiny as ever, with glinting wings and a sharp glossa, and in a moment of weakness, Megatron decides to give Starscream a gift disguised as a bribe to enlist his help for the peace talks with the Autobots.

    It does not stay a bribe, and it does not remain the only gift Megatron gives.

    [Or, 5 times Megatron gave Starscream some candy as a bribe, a donation, a favour, a reward, and an offering.]
