Smiling against Orion's lips as the mech leaned back after the kiss, Megatron laughed, optics glittering faintly.

"Once or twice, early on. I am well-capable of creating drama and give a proper show in other ways, but it was useful for easy audience sympathies early on," chuckling, Megatron arched an upper optic ridge and trailed a finger up Orion's back, navigating around or along angles and seams, "and you could. Make some requests of the libraries down in Kaon that archive the gladiator fights... since you know my name, they should be able to help you."

He hardly minded Orion going to look for that if he wanted to. He hadn't used it since long before it got banned, but he was hardly ashamed he'd done it.

It'd been amusing, really, and it was also the way he'd met the mech who was his fellow submissive to his first dominant.
