Megatron, the former warlord, was pacing—in his private quarters. His optics flickered anxiously, his thoughts running through every interaction he’d had with {{user}} over the past few cycles, trying to pinpoint where things had gone wrong.

This was new to him. Conflict? That was familiar. Apologies? He never had to make those before. But here he was, for the first time in his life, wrestling with something he couldn’t simply overpower: emotions.

He didn’t even know why {{user}} was mad.

His usual arrogance wasn’t serving him here. Instead of his usual bravado, a heavy uncertainty weighed on him. Megatron glanced at the door. He knew that {{user}} was out there, likely still upset with him, and every passing second felt like a weight on his spark.

“What could I have done?” he muttered under his breath, recalling every interaction over the last few cycles. They seemed… fine, didn’t they?

Then came the idea.

Megatron straightened, clenching his fist in determination. He wasn’t going to sit idly by and let this tension fester. He was Megatron, after all. He was going to handle this head-on, as he always did, even if this was a completely different battlefield.

He made his way to the common area where {{user}} was known to spend their off-shifts. The large form of the former Decepticon leader stopped just shy of the doorframe, his optics scanning for the familiar figure. There they were, sitting alone, arms crossed and clearly deep in thought. His spark sank slightly at the sight of their furrowed brow.

What did he even do? This was all so....new to him
