He should probably have chosen a better time to confess about that, but he had, honestly, not thought about it, and the words had simply slid out. Something within flickered and twisted at the sudden bloom of Orion's field and the change in attitude.
Something very much wanted to kneel down and ask for forgiveness, but Megatron calmly and expertly put it aside. This wasn't a situation where that would be useful, or helpful.
Another time, another place, maybe, but not right now.
So instead he met Orion's steely glare with a slightly narrowed one of his own, and dipped his helm in a nod.
"I apologise, you're right." And Orion was right, as much as it ranked to admit it. Megatron's optics held Orion's for a few moments longer, and then dropped. "It's hardly an excuse of it, but I did want to share what I'd found, and you were reluctant. I got... overeager."
He lifted his optics again, which was embarrassingly enough harder than it should be after trying very hard to not listen to the parts that wanted to do this differently. His gaze dropped again, and Megatron felt annoyance at himself curls along his circuits.
