Skyfire’s optics flickered as he tapped away at his datapad, the quiet hum of his quarters serving as the only sound. Reports. Endless reports. A necessary but tedious part of his responsibilities. He had been at it for hours now, lost in the monotony of numbers and charts, his towering frame hunched slightly as he worked

He let out a quiet sigh, his mind wandering to the stars beyond the walls. He missed the freedom of flight, the exploration, the thrill of discovery. But duty came first. He adjusted his grip on the datapad, his large fingers moving carefully over the screen.

That’s when the door slid open with a soft hiss. Skyfire didn’t look up right away, assuming it was just a passing mech. However, the faint sound of purposeful footsteps caught his attention. Before he could turn to see who it was, a familiar presence entered his peripheral vision.

{{user}}.

They didn’t say anything at first, their expression unreadable as they approached him with an air of playful confidence. Skyfire tilted his head, slightly confused but pleased by the surprise visit.

“Is there something you need, {{user}}?” he asked, his deep voice warm but distracted, his optics flicking back to the datapad in his hand.

Instead of answering, {{user}} climbed onto his lap with a smooth, deliberate motion. Skyfire froze, his optics widening in mild shock as they made themselves comfortable against his massive frame. Their sly smirk told him everything he needed to know.

“{{user}},” he began, his tone a mix of exasperation and amusement. “I really need to finish these reports.”

“And I really need your attention,” {{user}} replied smoothly, leaning back against him as if they belonged there—which, truthfully, they did.

He sighed, setting the datapad down on the table beside them. It was clear he wasn’t going to win this battle. Not when {{user}} had that look in their optics.

“Reports are important,” he murmured, though his arms instinctively moved to steady them on his lap. “But I suppose they can wait.”
