Description This is a picture from a fanfic I'm currently writing. Timing is before the war on cybertron, the transformers go to high-school together (*waves at stripedwine* ) when a strange illness sweeps over cybetron. A mutant bacteria manages to live in the digestion unit of a mech and disables it - thus making the mech unable to take up energy.
A quarantine is called out and more and more pupils are down ill in the high-school. Skyfire happens to care for an ill (and obviously very young) Starscream.

The shuttle mech patted his shoulder reassuringly. Then, after his face had been blank for a while, processors obviously working hard, he rose and stepped up to his windowsill. He occupied himself there for a moment, then he returned and sat on a stool at the berth.
He held out a small thing at Starscream.
The seeker gazed at it and his face darkened. “And?”

Skyfire stretched his hand out, touching Starscream’s lips lightly with the bunch of leaves.
“Eat them.”

Indignant, Starscream pulled his head back. “Mech’s don’t eat plants!” he explained disdainfully.

Skyfire smiled. “Sure? And what when it helps against bacteria… which naturally never seize mechs either?”

Starscream’s doubts were not really resolved, Skyfire could see that in his face.
“Take it” he demanded again, brushing Starscream’s lips with the hairy leaves.

Starscream’s upper lip rose, baring his dental band in an expression of disgust.

“Come on, trust me, it won’t harm” promised Skyfire. “Does it calm you when I tell you that I have been eating that plant two cycles ago and nothing happened?”

Starscream gave an unbelieving snort. But then he opened his mouth slightly and his glossa darted out to examine the strange thing that was offered to him.

I'm not sure, does it deserve a mature content warning?

I'm not sure if i can see that it is Skyfire but Starscream looks like Starscream and he looks really young.^^

Very nice sketch.
