^he doesn’t even have a choice. He pretty much falls on his aft and then lays down on the ground, struggling to stay awake^

What— ^trying to speak but it’s just too much work and he doesn’t have the energy for that right now. He doesn’t have the energy for anything…^

/very good, you should try sleeping too. It’s good for you. Reaches over and grabs Soundwave’s arm, dragging him back towards the entrance/

I see you are not feeling well. Do not worry. You have seen the medbay here. It is well stocked…we shall have you feeling better in no time. /yes. better. Sure let’s call it that/

^he was knocked out before Shockwave even started dragging him. Needless to say, this date wasn’t exactly how he had planned it^

^well, he’s still in fantasy land so he has to believe him. He pops in the treats, smirking. Hey, his helm doesn’t itch anymore! And… he’s starting to feel a little funny..^

^he steps back swaggering, projecting lots of confusion^

/yes, your helm shouldn’t be itching. It’s a pretty powerful cocktail in those treats after all. Tilts his helm and twitches his fins, clearly pleased/

Is something wrong, Soundwave? Perhaps you should lie down.

^he takes the treats and looks at them, studying them, but for some reason not thinking to scan them^

Query: why are you apologizing?

I misunderstood your intentions and, as such, I was rude. /tilts helm slightly/ Additionally, this was an interesting method to attempt it with.

^in his little fantasy world they’re in, he thinks Shockwave’s reaction means he’s enjoying how Soundwave looks. He walks closer, leaning against Shockwave, placing a hand idly on his chest, accidentally spilling some of his cube because he’s still limping. He messed up his leg burrowing down here^

/is this what a slow glitch feels like, we are in a hole and you haven’t been cleaned in how damn long and you are spilling energon everywhere sweet fragging primus/ … /grinds his gears a little/ Oh…before I forget. /starts rummaging around in subspace, pulls out a small packet/ I have attempted creating “treats”. As an…apology.

stewardofcybertron:

Understood.

^He’s still actually covered in your energon. He steps forward a bit, more into the light so now the drone can see him better, drinking the energon out of the cube, he starts grinning^

You look well~

/the drone isn’t really moving, but once Shockwave sees that he’s covered in energon, he twitches visibly/ My repairs have been…as swift as we could make them. I am not yet…/slowly getting distracted, you haven’t been in the washracks since you left/…at one-hundred percent…

^after a moment he decides to trust Shockwave, because after all, they’re lovers right? And Shockwave was all for the logic, and Soundwave’s argument WAS logical, right?^

^his processor is over acting so much that he was strongly projecting these thoughts without even trying or realizing it^

/audio fin twitches a little, you’re being incredibly loud and he’s still having quite a few problems with getting rid of that firewall. He’s keeping his thoughts fairly contained, allowing a few wisps of content to slip past/

If you are worried about the drone, it is currently functioning as my optics.

Understood.

If there is no reason, then come here. /pauses, calculates where the cubes are and picks up one. Nearly knocked it over/ This was your idea.

You: do not sound angry…

^You going from furious to calm is enough to be nervous under normal conditions, let alone while acting off^

Why would I be angry? You explained yourself to me. I…misunderstood your intentions. /takes a sip of the cube/

^Once the drone leaves he’ll come down. For now, he’s going to be halfway out of the exit. His visor is flashing brightly, wary^

/tilts his helm is the direction he’s expecting Soundwave to be in. See that? Blinded completely/ Is there a reason you are over there? /oh look who got his vocals fixed up/

^hesitantly comes down off his little perch, standing close to the wall, trying to keep his potential getaway as effortless as possible. ^ Negative…

stewardofcybertron:

^why yes, he did burrow his way down here. He had all day to sneak around. Well, he tried to make the hole as small as possible, but he was afraid your massive chest would get stuck, so Soundwave made it so you can fit in pretty easily at least. And not coming out, all that you get is the data pad and the two cubes. He backs up towards his only exit like a caged animal, his telepathy totally reigned in^

/well, the drone looks like it won’t fit in here all that easily, but considering what it’s reading on the pad, it probably won’t be necessary. It sees you in the back corner. Quit being so paranoid. He lets out a little extra cord length and shimmies into the hole. Oh hey, I can see myself. That’s pretty eerie/
