Megatron had no intention of punishing Soundwave in any way, but he enjoyed teasing him in such a way. He leaning so close to Soundwave he could feel the heat of embarrassment radiating from the other Decepticon. He removed Soundwave's inconvenient mouth guard once more.

"Now Soundwave, don't move and don't make any sound" he said licking his lips.

Megatron tilted his head to the right and went straight for the neck, gently kissing it and licking it while his hands caressed first Soundwave's square hips and then moved to his aft.

Megatron loved feeling how much Soundwave seemed to melt in the touch as he alternatively bit his lip and then opened his mouth obviously suppressing every sound threatening to escape his throat. The silver mech had to resist the urge to take Soundwave completely right then. This was Soundwave, the one he had wanted for so long, the one he loved. He wanted to take his time as this was so much more than the opportunity to interface. Yes, Megatron the violent and fearsome leader of the Decepticons wanted it all: the dates, the cuddles, the emotional connection.

"Alright you can move and speak now Soundwave" Megatron said, panting, while a single step back in order to cool down.

Immediately, Soundwave's hands grabbed Megatron's upper back and pulled him into a heated kiss. The blue mech's grip was desperate and his fingers were delightfully scratching his leader's back. This time, it was Megatron who moaned.

As if the sound woke Soundwave from a trance, he suddenly pushed Megatron away and turned around clutching his own chest.

"What's wrong Soundwave?" Megatron was feeling uneasy. Had he misread Soundwave? Did Soundwave not want the same thing he did?

Soundwave did not answer.

"Talk to me Soundwave. This is not an order but a request"

Soundwave turned again to face Megatron but kept his face looking on his left. He stood silently for a time and Megatron waited, distraught.

Finally the quiet robot began to talk in his lovely metallic voice

"Megatron I can't do this with you"

"Why not? Don't you love me Soundwave?"

Megatron could tell Soundwave tensed at his words

"Yes I do. My feelings are not the problem"

Suddenly it made sense to Megatron. He had read Soundwave perfectly; Soundwave does indeed want the same thing he wants. Except, his third in command had failed to see what Megatron wanted.

"Soundwave, I give you permission to read my emotions right now. You might find something to your liking"

Megatron felt the familiar intrusion in his being. He rarely allowed it but whenever he did, he enjoyed it.

"Do you understand now Soundwave? I may have used interfacing a few times to abuse and manipulate others but it's not what I want with you. I want so much more than a physical fling."

He sounded ridiculous to his own ears but that was of no importance right now. Right now, he just needed to make Soundwave understand. And judging by his beaming smile, he did understand.
