Precipice

"I have faith in you, Bumblebee."
The scout had heard Optimus Prime's voice as clear as day, that he trusted in him to accomplish the task at hand. Even when he couldn't speak, Bumblebee almost didn't care at that moment, because he knew that Prime trusted him when the scout couldn't trust himself to fulfil the mission on Earth.
Bumblebee still heard him echo in his processor.
"I know that now."
"Do not doubt yourself."
Prime's deep voice remained gentle and calm as the scout pressed on, one step forward.
"Now I can understand."
Those were words unspoken.
Bumblebee narrowed his optics and took a few more steps, remembering Optimus's words, which made all the confusion and fear melt away.
