Soundwave was still trembling as he flew in the night sky. He wasn't able to keep calm. His thought processes kept going back to the events that happened earlier.
Before he had known what was happening, he was in front of Megatron disobeying his order to leave him alone. He had been worried about his leader and as he was fretting about trying to do something or not, his feet took him to the bridge.
Then things were messy in his head. He had hugged Megatron lovingly, his feelings overcoming his logic circuit. He had expected retribution for his rash actions but instead Megatron turned around and looked at him with burning desire. Soundwave had not been able to move or speak as the strong warlord brought their lips together and roamed his hand everywhere on Soundwave's frame in a very Megatron-way; rough and strong yet gentle and caring at the same time, the way he always has been with Soundwave.
When Megatron broke their kiss, Soundwave felt weak in his knee and almost collapsed from the emotional shock. It had felt so good, so right. It's like he was built to be in Megatron's arms.
Then Megatron took on a stern face and said:
"This does not erase the fact you have disobeyed me. I shall give you a fitting punishment. You are to depart tonight on a special mission. Alone."
"Where to Megatron?" he had answered, still breathless and feeling uneasy at the thought of leaving his children behind.
Megatron gave him some coordinates and told him there was a potential energy source there they could exploit. Soundwave was to gather information about it. Considering the usual punishment Starscream usually received in the form of beatings or extremely dirty work, this could have been worse for Soundwave. Megatron didn't add more details but told Soundwave to recharge a bit if necessary and get to depart in approximately 2 earth-hours.
And now, Soundwave was making his way to the designated place still shaken by Megatron's kiss. It wasn't a secret that Megatron had often used others for interfacing and manipulate but Soundwave didn't want to be one of many. He loved Megatron and would do anything for him but having the one you love kiss you, touch you without loving you is too cruel.
Soundwave sighed once more as he landed. He would reflect upon this later. Right now he needed to focus on his small punishment. He landed on a deserted field with nothing around but a few bushes and the stars in the sky. This was weird. There was no power plant of any sort, nothing. He looked around and focused. His sensors picked up a very familiar energy signature from a nearby bush. What was he doing here Soundwave wondered as he confusingly approached said bush.
As soon as Soundwave stood right in front of the bush, Megatron transformed back from his gun form.
"I see you are right on time Soundwave"
"Megatron, I was not aware you'd also be here. What are your orders?"
What did Megatron had in mind? Why was he here? Was this still some sort of punishment? Soundwave was extremely nervous as his optics fixed Megatron's smiling lips. He wanted nothing more than to taste them again, but he also didn't want to. As long as Megatron didn't love him – and how could he wondered Soundwave – he didn't want to.
"I'm here for your… punishment" Megatron replied in a devious tone "You see Soundwave, I didn't drag you out here to investigate energy. I dragged you out here to entertain me and keep me company."
Megatron was now standing so dangerously close to him. Soundwave could feel the powerful warrior's breath on his face and could barely keep himself from pulling the silver face into another deep kiss. He wanted to but knew he shouldn't. It's not like he had never been this physically close to Megatron before. They had on numerous occasions. But their earlier kiss had opened a door that could not be closed anymore.
