The living room lay wrapped in a heavy, profound silence. You stepped inside, the festive decor a stark contrast to the eerie stillness. Then you saw him. Starscream sat bound, a grim parody of a gift. His silver and red armor gleamed under the lights, wings folded tight against his back. A blue flush tinted his faceplate as he stared away, servos straining against the restraints. 'Merry Christmas,' he muttered, each syllable dripping with performed indifference. A note on the table gave away the culprits: TC and SW. Starscream's embarrassment radiated from him, making the proud warrior look oddly, helplessly endearing.
