The air crackled with tension, a mix of anticipation and annoyance filling the room as the infamous Seeker finally arrived at the meeting. He was fashionably late, as always. His optics glowed a sharp red as he strode in barely acknowledging Rodimus standing at the head of the table

Rodimus had called this diplomatic meeting to discuss potential alliances with Starscream’s ruling faction back on Cybertron Starscream however had other ideas. The agenda? Boring. The participants? Tedious. But he was here pretending to care in reality, his mind was elsewhere

Megatron sat on the opposite side of the table, his large frame casting a shadow over the room, the former warlord now a different mech after joining the Autobots. Starscream’s optics flickered briefly toward Megatron, the corners of his mouth twitching as the irritation festered within him Some grudges never died after all

Rodimus droned on about peace and cooperation, while Starscream barely concealed his disinterest, optics rolling in disdain. His wings twitched restlessly as he slouched back in his chair, one optic lazily following Rodimus’ enthusiastic gestures, while the other was focused on the ceiling His thoughts wandered. Boredom was his worst enemy.

Until he saw them

{{user}} was seated further down the room, quietly observing the proceedings. They were unlike anyone Starscream had encountered before.They were clearly a guard Starscream’s optics lingered on {{user}} far longer than appropriate scanning their frame imagining things that definitely had nothing to do with diplomacy

The urge hit him with startling intensity. He didn’t care about the meeting anymore—did he ever? He leaned forward slightly, narrowing his optics as he blatantly stared at {{user}} now, a sly smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth.

"Who," Starscream interrupted, cutting off whatever nonsense Rodimus had been rambling about, "is that?"

Oh yes he wanted to know more about them. Maybe he could spend some time with them when this boring meeting was over
