Summary:Skywarp is having a bad day
‘One should feel recharged after resting and not as if they had crash-landed on a rocky ground at fully speed’
Skywarp had barely opened his optics and already sensed that this day wouldn’t be his day. He hoped that it would be over soon but it had just begun. Many Earth-hours lay ahead of him. What would they have in store for him?
He left his resting area, surprised did he noticed that Starscream and Thundercracker had already left. ‘Was it already that late?’ he wondered.
With a pang Skywarp remembered that this morning the highly important meeting was about to take place. “Why didn’t they wake me up?” Skywarp asked out loud and began to run through the headquarter, silently praying that he wasn’t too late. Suddenly he stopped in the middle of the corridor.
Why was he running and wasting precious energy, when he could just teleport into the meeting room?
In retrospect this was the moment that was the overture to a scene in his life which he would surely never forget. Out of all the other things that went wrong on this day, this was without a doubt the worst and most embarrassing one.
He should have known that despite teleportation being the quicker way he was prone to have his little ‘accidents’ while doing it. But the fear of being too late for the meeting and receiving the full spectrum of Megatron’s anger because of it was too big and who said that he wouldn’t have a successful teleportation?
Seconds later he was in the meeting room but not where he had wanted to end up. He had landed on what could be labeled as the worst place: right on the table in front of Megatron.
“I’m sorry …” Skywarp began but stopped mid-sentence. He felt everyone turning their attention at him. Optics fixed on him and then everyone began to laugh, especially Starscream’s unmistakable laughter stood out and was the first his sound sensors had picked up.
One look at Megatron was enough to tell Skywarp that he had fucked up big times. “Skywarp.” At first Megatron was unable to add any insult to the name of the seeker, who gazed at him with embarrassment. “Get from the table you moron”. Megatron couldn’t believe that Skywarp continued to sit on the table, as if this was the right place to sit.
Finally Skywarp grasped the situation and got from the table and sat down on a free chairs. For the whole meeting Skywarp sat embarrassed on the chair, avoiding optic-contact with everyone and just listened to what was discussed. He wouldn’t have had anything to add anyway.
The day had much more in store for him and when it was finally time to head to their resting places he was relieved. ‘What can go wrong now?’ he asked himself but in the next moment he got his answer. Unceremoniously he bumped his head on the edge of his resting area. Once more on this day he heard his teammates laughing about him.
“It’s just one of those days”, Skywarp tried to play it down, when Thundercracker would tease him that this hadn’t been his day. “They come and they will go”.
“I’ll never forget Megatron’s face”, Starscream laughed. “For once you did something remarkable. Maybe you should have more of ‘those days’.
Skywarp didn’t replied to his commander. Silently he told him to shut up and leave him alone.
It was a relief to close his optics after such an awful day. But as soon as Skywarp had closed his optics his memory bank presented him with Megatron’s face. With the same embarrassment he had felt earlier that day he opened his optics to get rid of the memory.
What could he do so Megatron would forgive him? Skywarp didn’t knew it. All he knew was that he had given everyone a good laughter at his costs.

But the 'bumping the head' had to be included.
Just for reference ... I realized how poorly I described what their resting area looks like (https://wickedlittletown.dreamwidth.org/file/17006.jpg)
Even when I re-read the part I don't image them like this and I know what they look like D:
Hands down: I am pretty certain this has a specific term but I am not an expert on anything aviation relation. I prefer my vehicles under water if I can chose.

I have a thing for them discovering the joys of a comfortable bed instead of such resting places. (I've seen too much cute fanart in that way, I guess)

I guess that is why I like him so much.
