Chapter Text
Preface: Starscream wants to be spoiled, yet he doesn’t believe he deserves it. I want him to know that he deserves the world, so now I have a reason.
I am not going to tell him where I heard this idea from, but after overhearing Optimus Prime’s experiment at the store today, I could not resist.
Scientist: Skyfire
Subject: Starscream
…
Test 1: Magnesium Scones
These are great for both taste and health benefits for fliers. These two in combination are what brought me to purchase them in the first place. I already know Starscream has a sweet tooth, and sometimes he does enjoy something with a bit of tang to it.
…
Step 1: Bring him the package and set it in front of him.
S2: Ask him to try one
S3: Insist when he refuses
S4: Eat one to let him know they are safe
S5: Request again with prepared excuse.
S6: List benefits of consumption.
S7: Wait for him to think it over.
S8: DO NOT BECOME EXCITED UPON RETRIEVAL!
S9: SERIOUSLY! DO NOT!!
S10: Comment on something he was working on to distract.
S11: Watch for minor reactions to the treat.
S12: Make notes.
S13: Victory!!
…
Results:
Wings flapping: Fantastic sign!
Licking dermas: Another great sign!
Glancing at the package when he thinks I’m not looking: OMP! THIS IS THE BEST REACTION I CAN HOPE FOR!
…
Verdict: He loved it! I nudged the last two towards him while he was distracted and he picked up another! I’m so happy with my results, I don’t know what to do with myself.
10/10 Must Do This Again.
