Warmth

I took a walk through the base trying to clear my head, the guilt and pain from the last mission setting in once again. My footsteps shook the area around me under the weight of my blocky tank legs but I doubted anyone could hear them. after all, in space not a sound could be heard... I was beginning to become cold again, my temperature regulator must've been damaged

I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, instead choosing to wander aimlessly throughout the cold and lonely base. Soon coming across a broken wall I'd look out into space and see the small blue marble I once called home. It wasn't really home anymore, atleast not to me. I felt more comfortable up here, with them... atleast they could accept my differences. Once I made the change and took on my new life I'd throw away everything I'd ever known, gaining a new name, a new role, and even a new body that was to my liking.

I was a strong mech now, one of megatrons men. He had given me a new purpose and an escape. An easy way out, perhaps, but i didnt mind as long as i was accepted and acknowledged every once In a while, it was all I wanted. I looked back away from the broken part and began moving again, although slower than usual because my injuries were still healing.

Without noticing I had somehow wandered into the main chamber where the throne was. I was too busy thinking to notice, but he must've detected my presence because I suddenly felt a gaze fall apoun me. It wasn't his usual piercing gaze, but a softer one that somehow made me feel more secure.

I'd look over to him and see his usually imposing frame sitting there, looking rather lonely or bored yet full of contemplation. Then finally he'd speak.

"Would you care to join me?''

His words caught me off guard and I became confused by them, not expecting him to be so inviting. I'd slowly approach him.

"Don't be so shy, apprentice, you dont have to be a stranger. Come closer"

I'd do as I was told but stop when I was around 10 ft away from him and he'd lean back against his throne and gently outstretch his arms, seeming to invite me into them. It was unexpected but I just couldn't turn down his offer and I joined him. Sitting in his lap I'd lean against his large frame and practically melt into his touch. His embrace was so warm and felt comforting to my cold body.

We'd stay silent for a while, but eventually he'd grow tired of silence and begin to tell me stories about some of his previous battles and how fate had always seemed to side with the decepticons. I would listen and feel satisfied that he'd share his past with me, but I would rather have the future instead...

Many hours would pass and I'd eventually find myself asleep in his warm arms. Only the slightest of smiles would appear on his face as he watched me nod off, and as night began to set in he'd place a gentle kiss on my helm and follow me into my dreams...

Apprentice bites his lip or digits and purposely makes them bleed so that he can get used to the taste of energon in small amounts

Starscream won't teach him to fly, it seems that he has better things to do-

[megatrons-apprentice]

Apprentice often talks to himself to practice speaking with his new fang extensions

[megatrons-apprentice]

Hai!!!

It's me, the little person with trinkets, again!

Remember that I promised you some proper art?

Well, I finally finished it!!!

Look at you! So beautiful and colorful

Oh, how I just want to cuddle you all night :3

Apprentice smiled when he seen the art of him, it was a pleasant surprise to receive after a training exercise. Once he finally sat down and got comfortable, he'd look at the art for a while, going over the lines and soft colors. He was quite pleased with how it came out. Apprentice would hum a little as he looked at it before finally talking.

"I'm quite flattered that you've managed to capture me so well! You did really good on my details, and the colors are easy on the ey- uh- optics! Yeah! Optics!"

He'd nervously chuckle, he was still getting used to cybertronian anatomy terms, He was getting better though!

"Hmm, I'm not sure how cuddleable I'd be now that I'm, well, a giant robot. It might be a little uncomfortable for you, but I suppose we could give it a try if you'd like!"

Atleast he's enthusiastic about it!

[megatrons-apprentice]

Apprentice was sitting on the broken console when something hit his leg. Soon the thing clung to his leg and started to make frantic beeping noises just like a microwave.

It was a little minicon, holding onto his leg. He probably ran away from Megatron and tried to hide somewhere.

*beeping microwave noises*

Apprentice was currently chugging down a can of oil when his leg got bumped. The sudden movement surprised him and he began to cough like one would when their drink went down the wrong pipe. It took a few moments for him to recover, but once he did he'd look down at what caused the disturbance and he'd see a small minicon clinging to his leg for dear life.

"A minicon? Now where did you come from I wonder?"

Apprentice would chuckle, finding the small minicon rather cute. However he knew that megs was probably looking for it and like a good student he should return the minicon to him. Megs wasn't around though, and he didn't hear him anywhere yet so he figured he should keep the minicon around for a while and try to calm the small one down.

"You know, he's really not as bad as he seems. Of course megatron can be difficult to understand at times, but once you get to know him he can be sweet and gentle. Just give him some time! And do try to behave, resisting only makes things worse for you"

Megs and apprentice going on a midnight flight together over earth when megs finally becomes burning megatron with tidal wave

[megatrons-apprentice]

It will take some time for apprentice to get used to flying

[megatrons-apprentice]

What did Megatron say about the minicon?

Will you get it or will he take it and put it into his ✨ collection✨?

Apprentice would appear with a smile and a small yellow minicon on his shoulder. He'd look over at the little one and the minicon would jump off of him and begin to fly around him before landing in the center of apprentices back. A few moments later a large pair of wings would appear from the minicon on his back.

Apprentice now had the ability of flight.

"Mmm. Does this answer your question?"

[megatrons-apprentice]

His clumsy ass dropped a full crate of energon on his foot-

[megatrons-apprentice]

Hey!!

I've got a new shiny thing for you!

Here :3

I found this weird shiny disc in my garden.

It even lights up in rainbow colors when you touch it!

Apprentice looked down at the small person who keeps giving him gifts, but this time his optics seemed to widen in surprise.

"Huh? Wait- Is that what I think it is?"

He'd lean in for a closer look before gently taking it, after a few moments of inspection he would smile.

"Yes it is! You just found a minicon!"

Apprentice was excited, he wondered what ability this minicon could unlock. Of course he would have to show it to megs first, but maybe if he was in a good mood he'd allow Apprentice to keep it. Hopefully-

"I'll have to show it to megs first, I can't have him believing that I'm keeping minicons for myself, he'd get mad. But maybe if I'm lucky he will let me keep it!"

[megatrons-apprentice]

He hates hotshot specifically

[megatrons-apprentice]

Skydiver once again went to the destroyed part of the moon base, but not to train. Not today. Today he wanted to make a new friend. And he wanted to do it through the best thing he knew. Food.

Skydiver smuggled tons of energon sweets from Cybertron when he and were sent to the moon base. He originally wanted to give them to Starscream, but never had the time for it. So he took most of them with him to the destroyed part to give to Apprentice and hopefully befriend him.

He reached the doorframe and leaned from behind it to see if the young bot was there. When he saw him on the edge looking at the blue orb in the distance, he slowly crept in and sat down next to him.

"Hey..." he started, "I, uh... I noticed you really liked energon jelly...so I brought you some energon sweets...", he smiled, trying to make a good second impression. "They were originally for someone else...but I don't think I'll ever be able to give them to him..." He placed a big metal box between them. It was half full of star shaped boxes with energon sweets. "Sorry that they're spark shaped... I didn't mean it that way..." he looked away, embarrassed.

(fun fact: did you know that energon actually tasted like sprite? I believe that it was said by the creators of Tfone, but I'm not sure. And as a headcannon the energon sweets taste like sprite, cuz it would be funny if transformers thought that sprite was sweet, while a victorian child would die from the bitterness-

Also another headcannon; since sparks are the metaphorical souls and literal hearts of transformers, then a heart shaped energon sweets box would actually be a star shape.)

The other mech was in his usual spot, sitting apoun the non-functional control panel in the silence of space. He did have a small cube of energon already with him but it was half finished and he was just staring at it. Apprentice was lost in thought at the time so he didn't even notice the other until he sat down right next to him and started talking.

When he heard the voice, apprentice jolted in surprise. he didn't expect company, but he quickly collected himself and looked at the seeker. He fixed his bad posture like megs told him to do and tried to seem more formal when addressing others. He heard the other out and tilted his head at the mentioning of energon sweets. He hadn't heard of them before but they sounded good and was eager to try them.

When the other produced the box and placed it between them he'd look at the assortment of colored goodies. They looked like cute little desserts.

"These are for me?"

He was surprised that another decepticon would be nice to him, especially since the others didn't quite trust him yet. It would be a long road for him to understand everyone but atleast someone was trying.

He was curious as to who these would've originally went to, but he wasn't nosy and would leave personal business alone. Luckily, due to his lack of knowledge about cybertronian customs, apprentice would not understand the meaning behind the star shaped goodies. He would merely think of them as cute little snacks.

Apprentice would pick one of the goodies up and try one, soon finding out that they tasted similar to an earth beverage called sprite. The taste threw him in for a loop but it honestly wasn't a bad one. It was unexpected, sure but he already preferred these over regular energon.

"Mmmm. I've never had these before, but they're really good! They taste even better than the energon we have here at the base. Thank you for sharing them with me!"

Apprentice would give him a soft smile, it was obvious that he appreciated the gift. Even though he may look like megatron, and is being trained by him, this new bot seemed to be much different than him. It was unclear if megs strict training would eventually change him, but right now he seemed like a reasonable mech.

As for the treats though, apprentice will definitely have to conserve these because he doesn't know when more will come his way.

[megatrons-apprentice]

Apprentice is still getting accustomed to cybertronian things like sustenance. He still craves earth foods, but alas, he must drink/eat energon and oils.

His first time drinking energon was interesting to say the least, after all it is a type of fuel and it may be potentially dangerous to People. The mere smell and taste of it made him instintively gag because his mind was still telling him that it was dangerous even though he actually needs it to survive. It was definitely an issue for him to overcome, but he developed a tolerance to it over time.

He has gotten more used to it now, but the taste still makes him reluctant. However he has found a better way to consume it that is more manageable to him. Instead of liquid energon, he has found the joys of jellied energon and prefers it much better over the other. It doesn't make him gag and it actually feels like he's eating properly again, which makes him happy.

He has not learned about flavored energon yet or other cybertronian drinks because the supplies on the moon base are limited and they have to ration their energon. Supplies are sent in once a month from cybertron though, so maybe he could have a chance at trying other goodies in the future.

Heya big fella :3

I'm that person that gave you those shiny things, remember?

I just noticed that you were really down lately, either from the beetle head thing, or from your training.

And I thought that you also deserve a cuddle bug like Megatron has

So, here

It's an isopod :3

He might be a little too small for you, but he's here to comfort you regardless of your size!

And he's kinda the younger sibling to the beetle plushie

Oh, and art. You'll get your own art soon, buddy.

I'll make sure to work on it when I can♡

"Yeah, I remember you!"

Apprentice smiled at the other, he was in a better mood now that he had some time to recover from his training. He was simply exhausted earlier and needed a nap.

"Another gift? you're spoiling me!"

He'd chuckle and happily take the plushie and give it nuzzles before hugging it against his chassis. It had been a while since he had or felt a plush against him. It felt nice and gave him a nostalgic feeling. If he could cry he definitely would have tears.

"It's been a long time since I had a plushie, thank you!"

After a few moments of relishing the moment he'd turn his attention back towards the other and speak again.

"Yeah, megs has been training all of us really hard these past few days. Our enemies keep snatching the minicons from us and he's been really agitated from it. I've been thinking of sneaking down to earth and seeing if i can find any to surprise him with. finding them is difficult, but i may have found a way to make it easier"

He'd chuckle happily again, he was desperate to put megs in a happier mood and what better way to do it than with minicon gifts!

[megatrons-apprentice]

He goes to his quarters and flops down on his berth, his frame aches after a harsh training exercise
