A/N: So... just saw the first Transformers 5 trailer and I literally became obsessed. (Please let this movie be good!) The hype is real, people! I haven't written fanfics for a while, but after this teaser... I just had to.

Short drabbles. Nothing serious, just trying to brush up on my writing.

If the translation seems off, let me know! :)


Numbers


There were bad days, though Cade Yeager never once complained. And why would he have done that? Her precious daughter was safe and in college. He didn't have to worry about bills, taxes or Irish Leprechauns with race cars and dangerous tricks. He could experiment on so many things others labeled as junk all day. So yeah, it was like heaven.

There were worse days, but Cade Yeager still never complained. And why would he have done that? Yes, he was constantly on the run, constantly on the radar of the government, but he had been hiding alien vehicles ever since the battle in Hong Kong for Christ's sake! So yeah, sometimes it was a narrow escape.

There were the worst days, and Cade Yeager still tried not to complain. But it was hard as fuck. Hiding, holding his breath after narrowly escaping this so-called TRF… He hated these days, because he could do absolutely nothing at all. No experiments. No inventions. No running. Just waiting. The hours stretched long, and he could do nothing at all. That's when he picked up this stupid game.

"What the hell is that?" Crosshairs was the first to ask of course. He sounded annoyed, but Cade ignored it.

"It's a game."

"With boxes and numbers? Stupid." The green Autobot snorted.

"It's called Sudoku."

"The name's stupid too."

"Probably. But when there's nothing to do, and I mean nothing at all, you play Sudoku. It kills time. I can tell you the rules if— "

"Don't bother."

There were worse days than the worst days, and Cade Yeager couldn't stop complaining. Getting beaten by a smartass Autobot in Sudoku? Like hell he was willing to accept that.


A/N: Getting beaten in Sudoku? Well... maybe they compete who fills in the boxes faster or something like that.
