((TFP Megatron x Human! Reader))

______________

A captive. A bargaining chip. An insignificant thing that's not even worth a glance. That's all that you were to them. Never would they think of you as a human or a creature even worth decency of any kind.

No. You were only an insect that they could squish under their peds or in their servos- easily crushing the life out of you if they so wished.

So then, why were you still here? And alive?

Megatron continued to ponder this question over and over in him helm as he stood up straight in the throne room in silence- staring at the projection of the outside view Earth had to offer while he had his arms behind his back and servos entwined.

The human had been taken care of by Knockout via giving her sustenance for the entire week that they had kept her. She even got so situated that she now had her own little 'area' in Soundwaves quarters- which generally surprised everyone as he seemed to want nothing to do with the organic creatures.

And although the TIC had kept the fleshy in his quarters for surveillance purposes, Megatron finds his purpose to be less meaningful by the nanoclick due to how he constantly lingers, or rather hovers, over the human girl when not in his quarters.

It seems as though Soundwave assigned himself as your personal guardian- and wisely so as you seemed to be a bit...dense, if that was the correct term.

Probably not.

And while Megatron wouldn't be bothered enough to point out Soundwaves lingering on the human, he will let him continue to do so as long as it does not interfere with the progress of his work.

"Ah...Megatron?..."

And here we go with the fleshy speaking their mind. Ever since she had adapted to the dark environment, courtesy of Knockout, she had been very curious- albeit shy of cybertronian culture. More so the culture of Cybertron itself.

"Are you um, busy right now?..."

As sheepish as she had asked, the warlord at this point insisted on ignoring her rather than shouting for her to be quiet- as that doesn't seem to work since she simply opens that hole of a mouth the next hour.

"I-If you are I can just leave you be and maybe ask someone else-"

At this point, Megateon really didn't care what she wanted to do so long as she-

"- but I was wondering if you could tell me about Cybertron."

....Cybertron?

Of all things, she wanted to know about that dead wasteland of a planet?

The warlord shifted to slightly face the human- a metallic eyebrow raised at the sudden interest which he decided to question her on.

"O-Oh, well, it's just that..."

The hesitance in her voice annoyed him.

"Speak girl, I do not have time to waste on you," He immediately snapped. At first the sudden request did interest him he will admit- but if she was just going to stutter and stamper...

"It's just that none of the Autobots really talked about it and I've been curious ever since I first heard of it,"

Megatron sadisticly smirked- finding amusement in the fact that the Autobots treated the topic of Cybertron as an unspoken taboo.

"Ah, a past failure none of them wish to speak off. Shame must rest heavily in their spark for them to not even speak of their, beloved dead planet,"

He then turned back to his large monitor and pressed a nearby button- the machine automatically reading his processor signals through his digit and immediately pulled up a recent picture of Cybertron.

"This, is Cybertron,"

(Y/n) could only look at the dead planet in stunned silence- shocked at how much destruction was visible to the naked eye and how many crevices were easily seen from space, and the amount of debris was ripped away from the planet and was left floating.

"''Tis nothing but a wasteland unable to hold and contain life within itself. It is simply a ball of cybermetal- nothing more.

"And while it is in such a state, the planet was never truly destroyed - that is some information that the Autobots withheld from you and the Autobot's three other pets," Megatron spat. "It simply ran out of energon and was unable to support itself due to having its resources sucked out of it. The planet was sucked dry of its resources,"

"But I thought Cybertron died because of its core being destroyed?..." The human timidly questioned.

Megatron sneered at the human before pausing and sadisticly smirking at her. "Is that what those Autobots have told you? You poor thing,"

(Y/n) frowned and glanced away, not sure how to respond to the leaders words- knowing they were true. Although she became obvious to the ruby optics observing her.

A few moments after, Megatron shifted his gaze towards the picture of his destroyed home world and continued to talk about Cybertron- stunning the human who expected him to cease conversation with her.

The young human continued to silently listen to the titans stories and teachings- only inputting a thought or asking a questions here and there as her fascination continued to grow. 

Although, what interested her more was when Megatron stated his motive for his actions- and how Optimus betrayed him (according to him). And it was during that time that she couldn't hold it in anymore and simply spoke up.

"Well," She began- somewhat interrupting Megatron. Of course, the warlord was not to fond of her actions and opened her derma to belittle her- only to stop short at her next words out of curiosity.

"In school, we are taught to listen to both sides of the story," That made him raise an eyebrow- wondering where the girl was going with this. "We already know about the Autobots side of the story in the war and what their goal is, but we never really heard about the Decpeticons. While you goal is to have complete control over all the galaxy, it wasn't your first goal- which happened to be to eliminate the cast system. And to be honest," The human paused and timidly looked up at Megatron. "I can see that as justifiable."

At this point, Megatron had unconsciously let himself tolerate the young girl in his presence, as even if she were just a human, her existence seemed to begin to interest him. He could even consider her a very interesting human...

...very interesting...

Blooper

Very interesting...

...

...

"Human,"

You instinctively snapped your head up at the warlord- your mind automatically linking it as a call for your attention.

"I have changed my mind,"

"Eh?"

"Your staying."

"EH?!"

He changed his mind. He's not giving you back to the Autobots.

Extra

Your not going back to the Autobots?...

...

This is better then he had planned for.

Writing Megatron's reasoning was tricky...

As well as trying not to make him OOC...

But I liked the challenge~

Also a possible Yandere Soundwave??? I have been working on one for a couple of months to be honest- but it's a very long one shot with 3000+ words right now...

Would you all prefer if I broke it up into pieces for an easier read (leaning more towards this one) or just post it all at once?
