Waaaaaay back in the day, he used to harass Kaiba with his disgusting sandwich-making habits. He'd turn human for a day and literally just raid the fridge for anything he could get his hands on. I like to pretend that it's something he saw Wily do on more than one occasion--y'know, the mad doctor's down in his lab creating the next amazing device that will help him conquer the world, he's not gonna take time out to have an actual real dinner. So he slaps whatever he's got between some bread and eats it one-handed while hunching over his drawing board and muttering in German.

As far as canon settings are concerned, the stuff Proto thinks about usually boils down to three distinct categories: "Let's shake things up a little", "Little brother little brother little brother", and "I'm surrounded by idiots". He's very fixated on destroying Mega, so I'd say that's probably his biggest preoccupation in canon, but he'd be equally happy to have Mega turn over to the bad side and join him in his quest for world domination, so it's apparent that his thoughts are not so much "destroy my rival" as they are just "LITTLE BRO LITTLE BRO OMG LITTLE BRO".

The weird thing is, he's also probably the most insistent on acknowledging those familial ties of anybody in canon. Mega and Roll are siblings and they both acknowledge that, but between Mega and Proto, it's always Proto who's the one insisting that they're brothers--Mega usually only returns a sibling retort when Proto's done it first. And outside of personal contact, Mega usually always refers to him as "Proto Man", whereas Proto has a much higher likelihood of calling him "My little brother" in reference.

So I think, when it comes down to it, he fantasizes about Mega more than anything else. And not just because the Foe Yay between those two is so thick that you could cut it with a knife. He probably sits around and thinks about how awesome it would be to finally ditch all the lamebrain Robot Masters and have him and his brother, side by side, blasting stuff and destroying the world and being bros and all that stuff. In Bro Bots, when he's pretending to be a good guy and actually spends time with Mega, he's genuinely surprised to hear that Mega has "always wanted a real brother relationship with [him]"--which, in my headcanon, plays into what he does later, when he actually betrays Wily's plan for the sake of helping Mega, even if he's supposedly trying to use it as coercion to get Mega to join his side.
