"Well, I've been told that it's important for the people around me to hold me accountable for my misdeeds," Megatron says mildly, and realises that he would never want Loki not to be able to tell him lies at all, even if there will someday likely be one that he will find as annoying or upsetting as he finds this one charming.

Megatron grins at Loki and kisses her lightly. "I am," he says, "really glad that I'm not one of those mechs who just can't appreciate femmes. Which, apparently, is most of them." He rolls his optics. "Cybertronian homonormativity isn't as toxic as human heteronormativity because it doesn't take forms that are murderous, but it's still stupid. Because you're very appreciable, and someday soon I hope to have you like this, as well."
