A/N: Nothing to say but enjoy. Sorry for it being short. I got sick and busy at the same time.

Michelle Thornboy: Oh yeah. I changed them a bit, but they grow more into the ones we know as the war goes on. The meds are doing pretty good. I stopped that horrid one.

Optimus' girl: Thundercracker and Soundwave do make a cute couple. I see the younger ones as them having more emotions.

Thundercracker shifted a bit on his pedes, looking down when Quickshine brought them to a nearly empty rec room. Soundwave, Megatron, and Nightgale sat at a table, mingling about the recent fights. Ravage sat on Soundwave's lap, watching as his carrier talked. Quickshine cleared his throat, letting the three adults know he was there.

"Ah Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, it is good to see you again," said Megatron. He motioned to the empty seats nearby. "Please, have a seat and join us."

"And you as well my friend," said Starscream, bowing his helm. "We decided to come visit for a bit."

Starscream and Skywarp sat down first, forcing their brother to take the seat next to Soundwave. Thundercracker blushed as he sat next to his crush, taking a glance to the new member. Ravage got up and stretched, padding over to the blue seeker and curling up on his lap.

"Ravage: enjoys Thundercracker," Soundwave said, turning his attention to the Prince.

Starscream motioned to stay silent and they left the two alone to talk. The crowned Prince told Megatron about how his brother had fallen for the other mech. Megatron thought it was wonderful, knowing Soundwave needed someone to love, especially with a past like his.

"So... uh... Soundwave, how are you doing?" Thundercracker asked.

"Soundwave: is recovering," the mech replied.

"That's good. We heard what happened to you. I'm sorry that it did." Thundercracker cursed at himself, feeling stupid for not really coming up with a way to talk. He felt like a complete idiot when he saw Soundwave flinch at the mention of his... forced interface. "Sorry."

"It is fine," Soundwave said.

Battle cries pierced through the walls. Thundercracker curled up around Ravage as the door was blasted open. Soundwave opened his chest up, quickly putting his son into it. A raging mech ran straight for Soundwave, waving an ax around crazily. Thundercracker jumped in front of his crush, grabbing the attacker and throwing him.

"For Glade!"

Soundwave scrambled to get out of the way, falling when the assassin grabbed him. The blue telepath struggled, feeling the mech rip off his visor, leaving him blind and mostly deaf.

Thundercracker jumped onto the mech, ripping him away. Seeker Rage activated and Thundercracker attacked, shredding into the mech. Energon spurted onto his frame and streaked down to the floor. The blue Prince snarled as he was pulled away.

"TC calm down! He can't do anything now!" Skywarp said.

"He's right. Soundwave needs you," Starscream added.

TC looked to the mech, running to him. Soundwave cried out when he felt servos touch him. His body trembled wildly, being fearful, but started to relax as he felt the soft thumps of a spark when he was hugged.

"Shh... shh... it's all right Soundwave. I've got you love. I've got you," Thundercracker whispered, rocking slightly. There was no answer in words, only a fearful whimper.

"Soundwave!"

Megatron knelt in front of his friends, scanning over the blue and white mech. He frowned at the missing visor. He reached out, tracing a few words onto Soundwave's plating with a digit. Looking around, he found the broken visor a few feet away.

"Let's get him to the medibay. You will have to carry him. He can't see and barely hear without his visor on," the silver mech said, picking up the broken piece. "It'll take a few hours for it to be fixed."

Thundercracker got to his pedes, holding Soundwave close to his chest. He wasn't aware of how disabled Soundwave was. His spark raced fast as if trying to break free and merge with the telepath's spark. It slightly frightened the seeker Prince. He had never known his spark to act like this when he was with other mechs and femmes in Vos.

Soundwave tried to listen to what was going on, but couldn't quite hear the words. He knew there was noise, barely hearing it, but couldn't make anything out. His mind searched for thoughts to figure out what was going on. He felt relieved when he felt Megatron. What had surprised him though was what Thundercracker was thinking.

'He loves me? Why would he love a broken mech?' Soundwave thought. His spark did feel drawn to the blue seeker. His mind probed at the seeker's, sorting out the feelings. 'Will he tell me? Should I tell him that I know? Why does my spark act so strangely around him? Could this be what real love is?'

Soundwave jumped slightly as he was placed on the medibay berth. He felt the medic examine his face before going to his desk to work on the visor. Thundercracker stayed nearby while the medic worked, fiddling around with his digits. The medic finished up and went over to the injured mech, clipping the visor back on.

"There you go Soundwave. It should be fixed now."

"Soundwave: grateful. Thank you," the mech said.

"You're welcome. You are discharged now," the medic said.

"We should go somewhere. I'm sure the others took care of our mystery assassin," Thundercracker said, taking Soundwave by the arm and leading him away. 'Vector Sigma that sounded really stupid. Pull yourself together mech!'

"So how is Ravage doing?" Thundercracker asked awkwardly.

"Ravage: is fine. A bit shaken up but calm," Soundwave answered. The mech pinned in a code and took the Prince into his quarters. "Soundwave thanks you Thundercracker for saving my life. Mech: wanted revenge for killing brother in fight."

"No problem."

"Soundwave: confesses. Read mind. Prince: holds feelings for Soundwave. Query: why?"

"Because I just do. I don't care what has happened to you, I just love you. And I love Ravage as well. If you give me a chance, I will prove myself to earn your spark," Thundercracker vowed, gaining sudden courage.

"I accept," Soundwave said, nodding.
