A/N: Another drabble i made. I don't think i've ever seen Perceptor and Wheeljack as twins, or even related. I don't remember where i got the idea for this one... anyway, enjoy! R&R please!
Perceptor let out a sigh, wishing he could have a day off. He hadn't had one in several vorns, but the war didn't help any. The microscope shook his head, refocusing himself on repairing Mirage's electron disruptor. The spy's last battle with the Decepticons hadn't gone well, and he was currently in the med-bay, being repaired by Ratchet. This particular device he hadn't seen before and he wasn't going to give a chance to see it up. The invisibility device was a rare occurrence, and this one had been modified, requiring even more time to fix without messing them up. A symbol on a corner of the casing caught his attention and he sighed, longing flowing through his body. The scientist's spark reached out for it's missing half yet again, and a soft 'click' froze him in place.
'Impossible!' He breathed almost silently, optics widening in disbelief. The mech immediately abandoned his project, exiting his lab at a near-run, leaving bots staring, wide-eyed, as the scientist flew down the hall to the Ark's entrance, his spark pulling at him. Once there, he had to cycle his optics a few times, as he paused in the doorway, to check that they weren't fooling him. They weren't.
::Jack!:: Perceptor yelled over his reconnected bond as he threw himself at the engineer, pulling him close for a hug. Tremors passed through his frame as he clutched his twin close, not caring at that moment that Optimus and the others were there.
::Cep? Is it really you?:: The Lancia asked hesitantly, almost unbelievingly. His twin nodded, his head in the crook of Wheeljack's neck. Tears pooled in Perceptor's optics and he blinked rapidly to dispel them, trying to hold the tears back. ::We've got kinda an audience here, Cep.:: His words made Perceptor's processor try to lock up, as he never did well with crowds, but the engineer continued, distracting the mech. ::Don't you think we should head to your lab for some privacy? It's been too long and I can't wait to tell you what I've been doing.::
::Yeah, let's head down to my lab. I've actually got one of your projects down there I was working on for Mirage, his invisibility device. Y'know, the electron disruptor. It was giving me some trouble, but now that you're here, you can help me fix it. We should probably tell Optimus where we're going. No doubt he's wondering why I ran across the room to you.::
::Yeah... I never thought you would do that.::
::You said yourself, it's been too long.:: The scientist replied teasingly as he peeled himself away from his twin.
"Optimus, would it be alright if I bring Wheeljack to my lab?" He asked, turning to face his leader, who had a surprised expression. The matrix bearer could only nod and turn to watch as his scientist and engineer who apparently knew each other previously walk off to do who knew what.
"Prowl, do you have any clue what just happened?"
