Soundwave stood at his table, digits practically dancing across the dials and sliding faders when the need called for it. Ratbat was practically constantly buzzing in his dock, thoroughly enjoying the music. Lazerbeak sat on his shoulder, eyes flicking over the crowd. Rumble and Frenzy were mingling with some of their friends, playing a card game and keeping well out of trouble.

He glanced through the crowd and easily spotted the tips of Cascade's wings. She smiled brightly as she easily weaved through the dancing frames, serving tray held high. Her servos never once strained and if they did, she told him and took a break. He took to massaging the joints after work in the oil bath, too.

He sent her a request for some sweet low grade and she smiled up at him, slipping to the bar to fix the drink. She fixed the drink and made her way up into his loft, letting the door slide shut which dulled the music. "I thought you didn't like sweets."

He slid his mask open and lightly kissed her, hugging her waist. "Sweets; taste better on your lips."

She giggled and sipped some, leaning up for another kiss. He held her closer and lightly licked it off, pulling back to let her drink some more. She left it to linger on her lips and he kissed her again, feeling how much she was enjoying the kissing.

He pulled away again and guided her over to his table. "Cascade; would like to see?"

She sipped some more and carefully set the half-empty cube on a clear spot. "See, what exactly?"

He let his visor fold away and unspooled a short wire from his arm, offering the plug to her. "See what I see."

She took it and glanced out at the crowd before nodding, slipping the plug into a socket in her arm. "Lead the way."

He loosely held her waist and allowed her access to his sight, letting her see what he saw. A bright rainbow of colors mingled through and around the dancing crowd, a chaotic mixture that only he could see. He felt her gasp, wonder blossoming in her field.

He gently rubbed her hip, focusing on the card tables, seeing Rumble and Frenzy. Their fields were alight with high grade and a different type of chaos from the crowd. Frenzy's flared out when Rumble won the round and Rumble laughed at him, his field lighting up.

He finally focused on her and she saw exactly how he saw her. Somehow, whenever he looked at her, she was brighter. He could see more than her field, he saw into her, everything laid out in front of him like a fancy dinner or his DJ board. She felt how much pure love he had for her, how simply good for him she was, how much he wanted to be with her, all the raw emotion she allowed him to feel without any fear.

She slowly reached up to tug the plug out and slowly reset her own optics, looking up at him. "Soundwave..."

He let the cord slink back into its' place and turned to her fully, holding her close and pressing his forehead to hers. "Cascade; is everything I could have ever wanted."

She smiled softly and hugged his neck; Lazerbeak having hopped off his shoulder without their notice. "I love you so much. I never want to be without you again."

He smiled softly and gently kissed her, hugging her waist. She easily returned the kiss, pressing close to him. He lifted her up slightly and smiled softly against her lips, feeling his spark twirl happily.
