"I wouldn't be plummeting," Megatron said, clearly amused even as he caught the cable and hooked it in place, though with the clear air humouring Orion, "more like slipping, which I have done a few times."

Which probably wasn't reassuring in the least, but this wasn't, actually safe. It wasn't not safe for the reasons the government liked to use, but it wasn't safe any less.

"If you insist, however. You came prepared." Smiling, Megatron waited until Orion had connected the cable to himself and then used it to haul Orion close and kissed him, not-so-gently nibbling on his lower lip.
