This one is just headacannons for Minimegs on holiday together on different locations around earth. Using holomatters. ✨
Of course they both make an agreement of NO WORK during the holiday. They already dont get enough time together and this is for them. Not whatever havoc is being reaped on the Lost Light while they’re gone. Not that Mims isn’t slightly fretting about it while they’re gone.
Both of them are beach book readers. Probably sit on lounge chairs across from each other reading the same book and will occasionally interrupt each other to ask for theories, to discuss writing technique or analyse well written paragraphs.
Megatron often goes overly in-depth with this and can spend a while talking over just one section, but Minimus is more than happy to listen and contribute, always a little taken aback by how many ideas Megatron can pull from just a few lines of text.
Minimus tans really well, going darker toned than he already was. However Megatron burns under the sun and so Mims insists that he uses sunscreen even if he doesn't like the sensation of it being slathered over his back by the smaller man.
Minimus is a deplorable swimmer and often sticks to the shallows and watches as Megatron swims out and dives beneath the waves occasionally.
Neither are big drinkers so at the beach bar are more likely to order teas, light cocktails or fruit bowls.
Late night walks along the beach as the tide comes in and they talk about anything and everything, justy appreciating each other's presence.
Minimus buying a lilo and spending hours just laying on it like it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Visiting Human Historical Sities:
Although it might seem frugal, Megatron has to admit to taking some interest in human history and culture as Minimus plans out a grand tour of the planet for them.
Minimus has always taken a hobby in making notes on little interesting facts about worlds such as these, focusing especially on how law and monetary systems developed. Whereas Megatron likes to draw up similarities between earth and cybertron and the peoples in different regions, the class systems in place and the rise and fall of Kingdoms and Empires throughout the centuries.
Minimus takes him to see the Colosseum and Megatron is enraptured, the ruined structure reminding him of the long destroyed pits of Kaon. He is saddened to learn Gladiator Arenas were a commonality between their peoples.
For a slower paced holiday where they are not running from location to location, a quaint English Cottage by the seaside was more than orderly.
The cottage they rented was small, but big and cosy enough for the two of them. They take turns making breakfast each morning and both parties read the newspaper.
Megatron enjoys sitting out on the porch and watching the rolling green hills as they transform throughout the day and under the setting sun.
The cottage only has one four-poster king sized bed which they share curled up together through the colder nights.
When it rains, tea or hot chocolate is in order as they sit together on the sofa with a knitted blanket over their legs watching Antiques Roadshow or Come Dine With Me. ( sorry Americans )
Countryside walks are a daily occurrence. Neither enjoy doing nothing for too long, so linking arms or holding hands while walking amongst the hilly greenery is a favourite pastime.
Listening to old music on a radiogram and slow dancing around the kitchen together, Minimus guiding the dance as he had to learn basic moves for reasons of mingling with elites at parties in Iacon, but Megatron is a quick learner and easily picks up the rhythm.
