Same scenario as last chapter; after movie, Sam lives in an apartment.
3 – Come Away With Me
Sam laced his fingers together behind his head, staring up at the darkness of his ceiling. He couldn't sleep, work had been hell today, and for some reason he just couldn't sink into dreams.
He sighed, rolling over onto his side so he could see out the window. He could just barely see the stars through the glass, but the sight did nothing to calm him. He could remember Optimus's message to the stars, and somehow that made him both worried and excited.
"We are here. We are waiting."
Who would come? Autobots? More Decepticons? Only time would tell, he supposed, but that didn't do anything to stop his brain from considering all possibilities.
There was a low humming sound outside his window, and he heard the soft voice of Bumblebee a moment later. "Sam? Are you alright? You should be sleeping by now."
The boy sighed once more and gave up his fight for sleep, rising to his feet and going to the window, where Bee was sitting in his customary parking spot just outside his window. Though Bee had a spot there, he sometimes liked to move closer at night, creeping over the grass towards his window.
"I guess I just can't sleep Bee. What's up?" he asked, folding his arms and leaning them against the window frame.
The car hesitated, and then spoke. "Well, I know that you had a hard day at work, and you need to sleep. So I was wondering if you were okay."
Sam chuckled; ever worrying Bee, he'd gotten used to the Autobot's constant concern for him over the year and a half that he had lived with him. It was endearing, that Bee cared about him that much. "I'm fine, just got some insomnia. It's not anything new. I just wish that I could find something to tire me out."
"Come away with me, in the night…"
The soft song drifted from Bee's speakers, and the Autobot flicked his headlights. Sam grinned, and then nodded, carefully slipping out his open window and going towards his friend. Bee popped the driver's door for him and Sam slipped inside, settling against the familiar leather seats.
Bee pulled out of the parking lot quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone, but as they got farther away he moved faster, allowing his engine to rev. Not surprisingly, the motion of the car made Sam yawn, and he knew that Bee would be able to put him to sleep, no problem.
He settled further into the seat, letting Bee do all the driving. It wasn't long before his eyelids started to sink, and then he lay against Bee's seat, sound asleep.
Bee smiled internally, lowering the noise of his engine and continuing to drive, the motion helping Sam sleep peacefully.
