TFP Megatronus x Orion
———

"Megatronuuuuussss! I'm supposed to be working!" Orion whined, carrying a couple datapads in his arms as he ran down the long aisle from the gladiator. His little legs could only carry him so far, but he was much more agile that Megatronus.

Megatronus chuckled and growled playfully, a wide smirk on his face as he chased the little archivist around a corner. "And I'm helping you get it done faster! You better keep running, or I'm gonna catch you!" He called, slowing his pace just a bit to give Orion more time to run. Playing with him like this was always lots of fun.

Orion giggled and kept running, skidding and quickly sliding a datapad into place on the shelf before taking off again.

When he was close to getting done, he was already pretty tired and out of breath. As he slid the last datapad into place, he shrieked when Megatronus swept him off his pedes and kissed his cheek. "Hey! No fair! I was tired!"

"So was I, but I still won." Megatronus snickered, kissing Orion's cheek again before gently setting the little archivist down. "You're pretty quick, I thought wasn't going to be able to catch you!"

Orion rolled his optics as he caught his breath, looking up at Megatronus. "Psh, Whatever! You're way quicker than me! I have short legs!" He stuck his bottom lip out in a playful pout, crossing his arms across his chassis.

Megatronus snorted, standing up straight once he caught his breath. He glanced at the cart with one more stack of datapads on it and grinned, looking back at Orion. "How about round two, hm?"

"You're on!" Orion exclaimed, jumping up with renewed energy and racing over to grab a stack of datapads.

Megatronus grinned devilishly as he watched Orion. "This time, you have to stop completely when putting a datapad on the shelf."

"What?! That's not fair!"

"It's totally fair, you baby!"

"Okay then... loser has to get tickled by the winner for thirty seconds!"

"Thirty seconds? That's brutal."

"Too brutal for you?"

"Of course not!"

"Alright then! Let's go!" Orion exclaimed loudly, taking off down the aisle with an armful of datapads. He could hear Megatronus running after him, the gladiator's heavy pedesteps making soft thuds.

The archivist quickly looked down at the first datapad and took a sharp left, heading towards the shelf it needed to be put on. He glanced over his shoulder to see if Megatronus was close, slowing to a stop and quickly sliding the datapad into place. He heard a playful snarl right behind him and squealed, darting off before Megatronus could grab his waist.

Megatronus laughed and continued chasing Orion, watching as he disappeared around another corner and smirking. He trotted a few aisles down and patiently waited until Orion came flying around the corner, charging right for the archivist and nearly scaring him half to death. His hand swiped through the space that Orion had just occupied and he snickered as the red and blue mech darted away from him once again.

After a few minutes of trying to corner Orion and chase him, Megatronus eventually got too tired to keep chasing the smaller mech and bent over. He kept laughing while trying to catch his breath, his chassis heaving with effort.

Orion slid the last datapad into place and grinned brightly. "I win!" He announced proudly, putting his hands on his hips.

"I believe you have, little Pax." Megatronus chuckled, standing up straight and taking in a deep breath. "Come on, let's go home. It's getting late." He said with a smile, reaching out to take Orion's hand.

Orion kept a big smile on his face, taking Megatronus's hand in his and squeezing it. "Okay, but I still get to tickle you when we get home!"

"Of course." Megatronus replied, leading Orion towards the Archives exit.

"I get thirty seconds, remember?" Orion giggled, sitting off to the side of Megatronus on the berth with a big grin on his face.

"I vaguely remember you saying ten seconds, Orion."  Megatronus said teasingly, shooting Orion a playful glare.

Orion huffed and punched Megatronus's shoulder playfully. "I didn't! You're just messing with me!" He whined, still giggling like a giddy femme. "Thirty seconds, you big oaf!"

Megatronus rolled his optics and snorted in amusement, moving his hands behind his head so that his stomach was exposed. "Oh alright, I surrender." He snickered.

"Yay!" Orion grinned, his hands hovering over the silver gladiator's stomach. "No squirming and no fighting back, Okay?"

"Yep."

"Alright, prepare to perish by my tickling!" Orion exclaimed, darting his hands down to tickle Megatronus's stomach. He was expecting a burst of laughter from the gladiator, but he instead got an amused smirk. He shot a playful glare at Megatronus and kept tickling him, but still got no response.

And then it hit him.

"You aren't even ticklish there, are you?"

"Nope. Never have been."

"And you just let me get all excited for nothing?"

"Pretty much."

"You're mean..."
