Chapter Text
Starsceam feels his hands shaking violently, it shouldn't be, he had been repeating flying and shooting since dozens of cycles ago, but now his right hand is shaking, unable to accurately aim at the target, and even it was just a practice target, not a living enemy running around.
As an air commander, such a problem is simply incomprehensible, completely unworthy of the title, and a major stain on the military position.
The most important thing is what Megatron will think of him.
Starscream hasn't told anyone, he won't ask the other two lieutenants until the situation becomes irreparable, and he wants to see if this unprovoked static tremor will recover on its own in a few days.
There is no problem in daily life, he wipes the hydrogen-helium ray rifle, there is no problem with his circuit circulation, everything is working like normal, except for the tremor of the right hand for no reason.
Another military meeting, the route to attack the Iacon, the policy of stabilizing the defense, Megatron stands at the table, looking like a natural leader, but Starscream remembers that a few cycles ago the leader of Decepticon has also knelt in front of the commander-in-chief of the Supreme Guard, like an ordinary prisoner, like a common criminal, a wounded animal.
This is the first encounter between Starscream and Megatron, not so romantic, after a few cycles, Starscream slowly reminisces, maybe Megatron is his first love.
Megatron says that Starscream is in charge of the raid in the south, Starscream nods without objection.
Megatron is surprised that his air commander has been very quiet recently, Starscream always like to act superior, but recently he was always unusually quiet, is he in a bad mood? Or is he planning a rebellion?
In the 101 tips for dealing with subordinates, it is said that paying attention to the mental health of subordinates in a timely manner is also an important part of a healthy working atmosphere, so the new leader said:
"Starscream, you stay later."
Starscream feels the cog stops for a moment, the condensate is about to flow down, he looks at Megatron uneasily, does he find that the air commander could no longer shoot?
Although this condition may only be temporary, but even for a short time it can be fatal.
After the other senior officers left, Starscream remains in place, as Megatron said—stay with him.
Although Starscream isn't holding a gun now, but his hand trembles again, so he put his hand behind his back and pretends not to care and asks:
"What's wrong, Lord Megatron? Do you finally realize that my combat guidance is the best of all? ”
A usual and typical opening line for a conversation in the style of Starscream, but Megatron still feels that something is wrong with the air commander.
In the 101 tips to deal with the partner, it is also said that close contact is the best way to communicate, so as a qualified partner, Megatron raises his hand, aims at Starscream, and fuses the cannon to charge and prepare—
"Hey, stop! What are you going to do!" Starscream offset Megatron's muzzle to the left by five millimeters, fortunately Megatron doesn't really intend to hit Starscream in a physical sense, he puts his hand down and says:
"You've been a little absent-minded lately, what's wrong?"
"Nothing......I mean, I've always been serious. ”
"You rarely argue with me lately."
"I'm just showing respect."
Megatron looks at Starscream for a while, and then says seriously:
"You are really not acting like yourself."
Megatron approaches the air commander with obvious guilt in his eyes, further narrowing the space between them and psychologically forcing Starscream to tell the truth.
But this matter seriously threatened Starscream's reputation, and it may even cost him his position as a senior officer, so he must not say it so easily, even if Megatron stares at him like this.
Also, this kind of psychological oppression is really ineffective against Starscream, he has been the supreme commander of the Supreme Guard for so long, he has always been accustomed to the feeling of being high, his psychological endurance is first-class.
"It's just the two of us here."
"Yes...? ”
"Anything you want to say can be said to me."
"I know, Lord Megatron—"
"After all, we are in a relationship."
"—What?"
