"What it has to do with anything, Optimus?" Megatron finally let the arm over his faceplates fall and met the glare head-on, helm slightly tilted. He'd let the mech finish speaking and then waited a moment or two more before actually speaking himself.
"Trust." A black hand was quickly held up to stave off any ranting from Optimus because yes, he did realise how that sounded. "While yes, I realise perfectly well how that sounds, and that I should've waited... at least for another day when you weren't quite as tired as that." Megatron spread his hands, and there wasn't even a shade of mocking or teasing in his voice or expression now, only seriousness.
"I thought about stopping a few times, do it later... a lot later, but like I said. I couldn't. While I doubt the Key holds the same capabilities as the Matrix, it does seem capable of making it's... preferences clear," he said as he cocked his helm, a dry twist to his lips. "If you don't trust me to take care of you this personally, Optimus, no matter how slow I am being or how much it looks like I'm going to stop or take everything for myself and not bother with you... how are we supposed to work together elsewhere?"
A grimace briefly twisted his expression as he shook his helm. That probably wouldn't go over well, not right now, no matter how true it might be, no matter how much these things were connected... no matter the fact that he, himself, had some trust... well, more like control issues, but either way.
He should bring those up, but he had, during their Merge, and that was surely enough. Besides, right now it wasn't about him, it was about Optimus, and them. He could surely wait bringing that up.
