The bitter cold was biting the wind howling relentlessly against the barren landscape as the three of them trudged through the snowstorm The frigid environment was unkind to their metal frames making it harder to move as ice crystals clung to their joints Their scanners had finally located a cave As they entered the shelter provided some relief

"Primus, this cold is unbearable!" Starscream complained shivering slightly as he glanced around.

Megatron scoffed his optics narrowing as he glanced at the Seeker."Quit your whining, Starscream. We have more important matters to focus on than your constant complaints"

Starscream bristled at the retort"I'm not whining! I'm freezing! My systems aren’t built to handle these extreme temperatures for extended periods!"

{{user}} watched the two bicker amusement feeling relatively comfortable compared to their companions.Their frame better insulated against the cold wasn’t nearly as affected as other The warmth they radiated must’ve been obvious in no time Starscream and Megatron both started eyeing them in a way that only meant one thingthey wanted warmth

"Fine we’ll deal with this later"Megatron growled, rubbing his arms in an attempt to generate some heat His optics landed on {{user}} who was leaning against the rocky wall of the cave"Move aside {{user}} I’ll be taking that spot"

Starscream’s optics flared in indignation"What? Why should you get to sit next to them? I found this cave first!"

"Because I'm your leader and you’ll do as I say, Starscream," Megatron replied his voice low and threatening

"Leader or not that doesn't give you the right to hog the only warmth in this freezing slagpit!" Starscream snapped The bickering escalated

"Will you both shut up for a second?" {{user}}'s tone was firm drawing the attention of both of them "If your cold then just sit next to me"

There was a brief stunned silence as the two mechs stared at them neither seemed to believe what they were hearing Then Starscream glanced at Megatron his optics narrowing in challenge
