Transformers Prime: Like a Box of Chocolates by auri_mynonys

Fandom: Transformers: Prime, Transformers - All Media Types

Pairings/Characters: Megatron/Optimus Prime, Megatron/Orion Pax, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Original Female Character

Rating: General Audiences

Length: 4,693 words

Creator Links: auri_mynonys

Theme: Fluff, Cutesy, Anniversary, Candy Shop, Gift Giving

Summary: For a second, Volley is certain she’s misheard him. The first words she’s ever heard out of Optimus Prime’s own mouth can’t possibly be a pick-up line. She’s having a fever dream of some sort, maybe. Probably.

But then she looks at Megatron, and knows she didn’t mishear at all. He’s speechless and blushing, opening his mouth only to snap it closed, faceplates heating so abruptly that the air around him shimmers. And why wouldn’t he be?

After all, Optimus Prime just hit on him.

Reccer's Notes: This fic will always be my "go-to" when I need a pick-me-up. Megatron and Optimus Prime both being adorable is too good to pass up.

CORDELIA: My cheerleading squad wasted a lot of pep on losers. It's about time our school excelled at something.
WILLOW: Hmm. You're forgetting our high mortality rate.
XANDER: We're number one! Huh?

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?
