Chapter 2

Boredom is a killer

Bumblebee's optics on-lined, to see a very grumbly ratchet, curious he wanted to see what had ratchet so grumbly.

Letting out a low rumbling buzz at the doctor, it appeared ratchet was concentrating more on a monitor than Bumblebee at the moment however.

Bumblebee slid off the medical berth, quite irritated that ratchet had ignored him, went over to the couch where he could see Jack and Miko playing a game, upon closer inspection it was a combat video game.

"HA I got you now Miko!"

"Not a chance darby!"

{Hmm maybe I can play}

The game paused at his presence, and both Miko and Jack looked up at the curious scout.

"Hey Bee whats up?"

He squeaked out a greeting of his own to the children only managing quick spurts of buzzing beeps and clicks, both Jack and Miko looked between each other in confusion.

"c-could you repeat that last part Bee?"

Bumblebee whirred sad that they couldn't understand him well enough to know he just wanted to play a game his doorwings drooped walking dejectedly away.

"Nice one you made Bee sad!"

Miko punched Jacks arm there voices still loud enough for the distraught scout to hear, Bulkhead saw the look and decided maybe Bee just needed something to do.

"Hey Bee, come here"

Perking up the scout whirred inquiringly at the giant wrecker, as the other rummaged around in his subspace for something.

"Ah here you go maybe drawing will do you some good"

{Thanks bulkhead}

He silently Beamed at the wrecker jumping in place before taking a spot on the floor, tapping the pencil to his faceplate.

{now what should I draw}

Bee was just about to draw when the familiar engine of Optimus arcee's return had him sit up, curious as what brought them back so soon weren't they checking out an energon mine.

Optimus walked over to ratchet arcee right behind him, completely ignoring the scout whom was trying grab there attention, he hated being the smallest of the autobots it just wasn't fair.

He whirred at the 'grown ups' what the heck were they talking about, missing decepticons, he wanted to talk to Optimus about letting him fight maybe pull a few heartstrings on the leader.

But whatever the 3 autobots were talking about was particularly more important thant Bumblebee at the moment huffing, he found bulkhead just shrugging assuring him they'd all be notified soon enough.

He placed with the hub cap on his peed quite irritated now, it seemed like everytime he tried to put an input no one would understand him ignore him or even worse continue to treat him like a sparkling worst of all Optimus his leader.

Making a angry fist he had a few choice words hed like to tell them all but how can one do that without a voice curious he begun messing with the radio the Blaring lyrics of Panic on the disco, playing for a minute it then came to him.

Bumblebee then used audio soundbytes from the radio picking some words from songs and radio show hosts, I may not have a voice Bumblebee thought but I sure as heck can use the radio.

He noticed the 'adults' were done talking and Optimus seemed to be looking at him, he then decided to show everyone his new form of communication.

The blasting bits and pieces of Maroon 5 and other songs blasted through the radio forming a sentence.

~Hello, can you hear me now Opt~

Shocked the group hadn't been expecting that in the least, Optimus smile made Bumblebee feel good Opt was a sparkling nickname he had for Optimus since the leaders name was too long to pronounce for a young sparkling.

"Bee thats fantastic"

Arcee praised as Bulkhead chuckled ratchet rumbling his own approval at the use of the radio.

Optimus approached the scout petting the scouts head earning him a very sparkling like purr, Bee realized what he'd just done and looked away embarrassed.

"I'm glad you've found yourself a form of communication Bumblebee but my word still stands you will remain here"

Its like the floor was swept out from underneath Bee spurts from the radio sweared at the autobot leader, it had the group jolting who knew that Bumblebee had such a dirty vocabulary.

Ratchet having heard enough yelled at the top of his lungs.

"LANGUAGE!"

Bumblebee knew he was in trouble now as several pair of disappointed optics bared down on him.

Bee clicked trying his best to pull the cute sparkling card but by the looks he knew where he was too go grumbling he trudged his way to his room down the hall.-

Bumblebee didn't know how long he'd been in his room it felt like Breems maybe Vorns, until he heard a knock at his door it slid open to reveal, Optimus.

"Are you busy?"

Bumblebee shook his head sitting up and making room on his berth for Optimus to sit.

"Look I know how difficult it is for you to be stuck at the Base but you realize I'm only doing this to protect you and the others"

Bumblebee looked at his servos and back up into the gentle optics of his leaders before nodding once

"Then you realize why you're to be here right"

A low warble responded to the question, he didn't understand why he had to be here but he'd understand the primes wishes to protect them all they'd lost too many already.

Optimus let out a soft vent before petting the back of Bumblebee's helm, making the young Scout feel sleepy.

{Man how the heck do you manage to get me melting against you prime}

soon enough he felt himself practically leaning against the Prime chassis listening to the beat of his spark, powerful and strong it lulled him into a light recharge.

"We've lost far too many young one and I'll be damned if I let this war take you now"-

Bumblebee awoke to silence you know that odd kind of silence where it shouldn't be silent yeah that kind, He vented out confused as to why everything was so quiet, rubbing the fogginess of recharge.

He leaned out from his bedroom door looking down the hallway finding absolutely no one it was like a ghost town, had he awoken to early his internal clock said it was 12:30 in the morning perfect time to awaken.

He investigated clicking and beeping his emotions, the room in which everyone usually congregated was completely empty not even a ratchet grumbling about not being a miracle worker no arcee no children not even Bulkhead being his loud boisterous wrecker self.

Bumblebee was all alone, it then clicked he was all alone in the Base no Prime to order him to stay in the base, no Arcee and Bulkhead to watch him no ratchet to tell him no.

He played Imagine dragons thunder dancing in the middle of the room quite happy but then worry filled him where was everyone at that it even needed ratchet to be there.

"Bumblebee?"

Bumblebee let out a movie girlish scream from his radio having not expected the prime to actually be standing behind him, well then he hadn't been alone.

{Spoke too soon}

His doorwings drooped as the autobot quirked and Optic at the young scout, he chuckled patting Bumblebees head.

"Everyone else is out collecting some energon, we were running Low and they needed ratchet because bulkhead managed to bang himself pretty good."

Bee let out a low whistle and waved his servos up at the prime switching through a few stations.

~Ooh thats gotta hurt~

"Indeed little one now why dont you come help me do monitor duty"

Bumblebee made a dramatic no belt out of the radio as well as falling to his knees and reaching to the sky.

"Oh come on its not that bad it could be fun"

Optimus picked the Bot up by his doorwings and set him on a chair the humans used to reach the Monitors, Bumblebee pouted almost at the prime.

Bumblebee found the chair being quite spinny, and enjoyed spinning about until he was dizzy and couldn't tell if up was down and such, the squeaking caught optimus attention a low chuckle escaping as he steadied the young robot.

"Maybe theres a movie on"

Bee chirped up at the prime before heading towards the tv finding there was 2:00 showing of Pacific rim oh joy a movie about monsters and giant robots.

sitting before the tv he found he quite liked the movie and Optimus couldn't help but ask what had him, making so much noise that is until he saw the giant blue bot and two humans piloting it beating up a giant monster.

"I see"

Optimus loved it when Bumblebee was happy, it was rare seeing the grown bot act like a sparkling, he remembered when he'd found bumblebee.

The youth sectors had been destroyed by the war, there had been nothing left, that is until the unmistakable clicks and crys of a sparkling had caught the leaders attention.

Digging and digging through the rubble to find a tiny little yellow sparkling with the biggest baby blue optics one could ever see swelling with tears, Optimus had took the Sparkling into a single palm the poor thing, had squeaked in fear of the giant autobot at first until he held him close to his chassis the warm beat of his spark calming the exhausted Sparkling into recharge.

Speaking of sparkling Bumblebee was dozing off against the prime, barely conscious still trying to stay awake but the familiar pulse of the primes spark drug him under into recharge.

Optimus cooed at the sight before carrying Bumblebee in his arms cradling him almost as he continued monitor duty.

Returning ratchet was expecting anything when they all returned to the Base what they weren't expecting was to see a sleeping Optimus and Bumblebee in his arms at the monitor, arcee transformed chuckling.

A single optic flickered up at the group as Optimus shook his head Bumblebee nuzzling against his chassis.

"Now isn't that just cute"

Optimus shushed them all as he carried Bumblebee with him down the hall into Optimus own quarters.

Have I melted hearts yet ;3 or is it just me cute little Bee and Optimus moments coming ahead
