I feel as if I should own up to the pairing on this
Chapter 19
"Nah it's fine it's just soundwave is used to a flyers Bed and I'm the only one to have one because I dragged it in" knockout replied with a laugh...
Bee laughed at his comment. "I remember I was watching you struggle with it while the others were out"...
"Yeah. You just laughed me" knockout pouted...
"Hey, it was funny!" she defended laughing at his pout...
"Could have helped" knockout muttered. Soundwave walked back in dry heaving. "Bad idea! bad idea! Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew! Gay Mechs don't want to listen to femme fragging!" Soundwave shouts then freezes "FRAG!" He screams when he realized he admitted he was gay...
"HA! I was right! yes!" Bee jumped up with a grin, "Wait who was... you know...?" she asked...
"Arcee and smoke. it's disgusting!" Soundwave complains...
"Ha, should've have guessed given she's the only other femme" Bee replied sitting back down. "So, Soundwave, wanna have a chat about lying to your sister about your sexuality?" she asked with a cheeky grin...
"Uh oh" soundwave backs up to the door. "Bye!" And he bolts...
Bee turned to KO, "what is it with him and running?" KO merely shrugged back, "Dont know, perhaps he just does not want to share information" he suggested, "Are you not going to run after him?" he asked. "Nope sooner or later he's going to realise that he left me sitting here with you" she explained as she watched the door...
"Ah... why would that matter?" Knockout asks nervously...
Bee turned her head slightly and gave KO a deadpan look slightly raising one eyebrow, "and you all called me oblivious" she muttered
"What do you mean?" Knockout tilts he head like a puppy...
"awhhh" Bee 'ah'd at KO, he was cute looking so confused, just like a puppy. Soon the look gave way and Bee's face hardened slightly, "well to make me realise it all you guys had to do was trap me on a mountain with the mech"...
"Wait. Are you saying he likes me?" Knockout asks seriously...
"You like him, right? I can see it, I don't want to meddle and mess scrap up but, the latching makes Ratchet's hypothesis true, as well as you both get flustered around each other, you depend heavily off each other and you more or less share a bed..." Bee answered, "I think he likes you but that could just be the imagination of a silly youngling..." she shrugged but she was being serious...
Suddenly the door opens again and soundwave comes skidding in. "No! I don't know what you're talking about right now cause this room has no cameras but I ain't leaving you two alone!" He says out of breath...
"See I told you he'd realise sooner or later" Bee beamed, "now my job is over I apologised and we've talked, cya mechs" she said with a cheeky smile and stood up from her seat walking to the door...
(Just remember that you supposed to be knockout and I'm optimus) Soundwave watched her walk out of the room before facing knockout. "What where you talking about?" He asks suspiciously...
"Nothing of importance, I tried talking of the situation between her and Optimus but she threatened to run off to the rafters" KO lied smoothly, he had a lot to think over what the femme had said, he just hoped that Soundwave would believe his lie for a while...
"I don't believe you, but I'll trust you for now. I'm gonna go to sleep anyway." He says as he walks away probably to knockouts room to sleep...
KO let out a breath of relief that Soundwave had dropped the subject, he sat alone for a while the only thought was 'is the youngling, right?'...
About a month later and knockout had come to a conclusion from watching soundwave everyday...
KO liked Soundwave too...
soundwave was outside the base enjoying the sun when...
KO joined him...
"Hey knockout" soundwave says without opening his eyes. This was one of the rare times that soundwave didn't have his sun glasses on...
"Hey Soundwave" KO answered, he wanted to talk about it to Soundwave but for once he wasn't smooth, he was a mess. He didn't think of it so Soundwave couldn't read his thoughts about it...
"What's up man?" Soundwave asks after ten minutes of silence...
KO was going to say something but at last minute lost the courage and lied, "nothing much, just wanted to see the sun too"
"First sunny day in weeks. It feels good. I miss flying" soundwave admitted...
"It has been rather a damper on the mood with all the clouds and rain. I can't say I share your feelings though, I've never flown" KO replied...
"I'll take you one day" soundwave replied...
"Really?" KO asked, at Soundwaves nod, KO smiled "Well I will most definitely anticipate the arrival of that day then"...
"The moment you doubt whether you can. You cease to forever be able to do it" was Soundwaves reply...
"excuse me?" KO asked not understanding why Soundwave had said that...
"Don't doubt whether you'll drive again knockout. If you do doubt you won't remember how to steer." Soundwave answered half opening his eyes and leaned back on his elbows...
"Oh yes, driving would be something I look forward to in the future, much like you and flying," KO mused, "That's what you meant right?" KO had to double check...
"Yes, that's what I mean. Just don't ever doubt yourself and you can do anything" soundwave shrugged...
"right..." KO muttered, yes, he doubted himself, he couldn't muster the courage to talk to Soundwave about his feelings...
"Doubt will kill more Dreams then failure ever will. Don't forget that knockout" soundwave says as he closed his eyes again...
"Why are you saying all this Soundwave? You've never been one to be cryptic, mysterious yes, but you are usually very blunt and logical" KO asked, it was like Soundwave had managed to read his doubts in his head but he didn't want to accuse the mech...
In truth that's what soundwave was doing. He was reading the doubt, but he didn't know what it was about. "I'm just being cryptic again. It's like soap opera sex. Lots of boring dialogue and when they finally do go to bed, everything's dark and covered by blankets" soundwave says with a smirk...
KO gave Soundwave a weirded-out look, he had spent too much time studying the humans. "Listen okay, um, there is something that I'm doubting but like I don't have the courage to say it" KO admitted awkwardly...
"I normally just blurt things out first, then think about them... ever wonder why I went mute?" Soundwave laughed...
"Ha! I suppose that was a smart choice" KO agreed...
"Come on blurt whatever it is out. It can't be that bad!" Soundwave says, "Well it's not particularly bad, just not something you say everyday..." KO stated, he was dodging, poorly...
"Spit it out knockout. Before I go search through your head" soundwave says with a smirk at his friend...
KO went red at the suggestion, and tried spluttering out what he wanted to say, but it just wouldn't come out in coherent words...
Soundwave just raised an eyebrow at him...
KO stopped himself before caving, "oh whatever just go through my head"...
Soundwave tilted head as his eyes moved back and forth like he was reading something. All of a sudden, they widened and froze like his whole body...
KO wasn't looking at him, he was as red as his hair. Soundwave looked as if he had crashed...
And of course, bumblebee had to walk outside that second talking to optimus...
She quickly made them hush as they she saw the red faced mech and the frozen mech. "Um KO, you guys good?" she asked awkwardly. KO merely shook his head...
Soundwave suddenly started moving again. "Turn around and go back inside" soundwave says with narrowed eyes...
Bee and Optimus looked at each other before going back inside quickly...
"She told you Huh?" Soundwave asks...
KO nodded, "yeah... she did"...
