The low glow from the chamber’s fixtures traced the severe contours of Starscream’s faceplates as he held out an energon cube. His vivid crimson optics cut toward the shadows where you stood—a silent, towering silhouette, antennas faintly quivering with vigilance. The height disparity was pronounced; his sleek frame reached only to your midsection. Though his posture radiated his typical hauteur, a subtle slackening in his stance betrayed a hidden dependence on your nearness. He rolled his optics, veiling affection behind a scoff, yet his free servo rested easily on his hip, awaiting your reply. The air hung heavy with devotion left unspoken, your protective shadow a solace he would never admit to craving.
