Soon it became morning, then morning became the afternoon. And that's when the alert sounded.
Soundwave jolted awake, shooting up, sitting up straight on the berth. "Ah!" Soundwave hissed in pain, remembering the wounds on his stomach, he over recharged. Half the day was gone, and he hadn't worked a single hour yet!
He looked around his enviroment, and saw that he was not in his own chambers. But in the warlords, himself.
"Scrap, I am so offlined!" Soundwave thought aloud, as he scurried to the exit. Only to have Megatron enter and stop him in his tracks. "You're awake..." Megatron started. But was quickly interupted by a panicky youngling. "Sorry I didn't mean to fall into recharge last night, I'm sorry for being late to work, I'll get straight to work!" Soundwave frantically apologized to the warlord, who only chuckled at him.
"Calm yourself youngling, I granted you they day off" Megatron reassured the youngling. "it seemed that you needed the extra recharge" the warlord continued, sensing his sons still exhuasted systems.
"No no, I'm fine" Soundwave protested. "I'll go do calibrations, and stuff" Soundwave said trying to walk out the door, before being stopped by a massive servo.
"Soundwave you need rest, lay back down" It was not a suggestion, it was an order. Soundwave hesitantly did as he was told, and layed back down on the large berth. "I am spending most of my time in here anyway" Megatron scoffed as he sat at his desk reading his many reports.
Soundwave rolled his optics and groaned. Staring at the grey, cracked, ceiling. "Really you two, a broken door control!?" Megatron complained. Reading the report of Starscream, and Soundwave's latest skirmish.
"It wasn't me!" Soundwave quickly defended. "It was femme legs and his claws!" Soundwave pointed out, before all blame was put on him.
"Mhmm..." Megatron raised an unamused optic ridge. Soundwave nervously smiled, from behind his mask. Knowing he was partially to blame, since he was the one who locked the seeker out. "I know I'm not a prime example for this, but" Megatron sighed, twisting his body to face the youngling. "Would it kill you two, too channel your agression towards eachother?" Megatron, looking down at the many complaints on his desk, grumbled.
"I'm sorry sometimes I can't help it" Soundwave chuckled, laying on his side supporting his weight with his arm. "Yes, immaturity takes over your systems quite easy" Megatron jokingly scoffed, leaning back in his chair. "Yes..." Soundwave sighed. "And I apologize for last nights behaviour too..." Soundwave apologized, fidgeting with his servos.
"Apologize why?" Megatron was confused, at such a random apology. "For being immature?" Soundwave repeated. why was Megatron questioning his apology? "Why would you apologize for that?" Megatron questioned. "It was simply just playful, youngling, behaviour" Megatron shrugged, going back to his reports.
Sitting up Soundwave replied. "But you said to Knockout, you didn't wan't me to behave like that?" Megatron froze with stylus in his digits. Megatron sighed. "You heard me say that..." Soundwave sadly nodded in acknowledgment. frowning and gazing to the floor, from behind his mask.
"Soundwave, I did not mean it..." Megatron started. "Sure sounded like you did" Soundwave caught Megatron in a lie. "Well, I regret saying it" Megatron growled at himself. "I enjoy you being the youngling you should be" Megatron threw his arms up. "The way you laugh, smile, and play" the warlord listed calming his tone. "It's just, nice to be able to bond like that" The warlord sighed. "A natural function of a youngling" Megatron carried on. "And I see that now" the gunmetal grey mech kept his gaze on his desk, before looking up at his youngling with a smile.
"Really?" Soundwave asked. As a small smile grew behind his visor. Megatron nodded warmly smiling in return. Knowing he just gave full permission for Soundwave to go all out, and be a youngling. "Now that, that is off our chests" Megatron breathed, getting up. approaching the youngling on the berth. "Get some rest" Megatron scolded, standing over the youngling on the berth.
"Seriously, I'm not tired anymore" Soundwave restarted his protest. "Alright fine" the towering mech rolled his optics. "How is the pain?" Megatron asking his son, sat beside him on the berth.
"Ok, if I don't make any sudden movements" Soundwave replied. pushing himself to sit up. "I swer, if I even see that two faced, high heeled whiner" Soundwave growled, clenching a fist. "I'll tear his wings off!" Soundwave threatened. "Easy killer, you are still a youngling" Megatron chuckled. gently pushing Soundwave's fist down.
"So what!" Soundwave whined. "I'm still an elite fighter!" the young spy scoffed. "yes, but when it comes too, endurance and damage, you rank low" Megatron pointed out. while Soundwave folded his arms. "You will develop strongly, to my very might!" Megatron cheered. "I assure you"he smirked. Soundwave nodded and obliged, turning his gaze to the many data pads on his fathers desk. "Can I help?" Soundwave gestured his helm at the data pads.
"No I'm quite alright Soundwave" Megatron sighed. "You rest" He smiled, before turning his attention to a tentacle, sneaking a data pad off his desk. "It's not hard" Soundwave reassured. "I could do them all for you" Soundwave said. Examining the data pad in his tentacle.
"Thank you, but it's fine" Megatron retorted. Getting out of his seat. "I told you to rest" Megatron reminded. reaching for the data pad in the younglings servo now. "But I wanna help" Soundwave leaned back, away from Megatron's reach. "You need the rest!" Megatron growled. reaching again, only to have Soundwave hold the data pad up and away tauntingly, as he read it. "I feel fine, bearly any pain" Soundwave taunted. his wounds were tender, but not sending out tremendous amounts of pain.
"Soundwave I swer, I'm going to dangle you infront of the Autobots!" Megatron threatened. starting to get annoyed. "Give the damn data pad back!" Megatron demanded. As Soundwave moved the wanted object further out of reach.
Soundwave was playing games with him, and Megatron knew that. The warlord was in no rush to get his work done. No one would dare yell at him for not getting his reports done right away. So he decieded he was to play along. And retrieve the data pad in a playful manner.
"Soundwave!" Megatron playfully growled. Grabbing hold of Soundwave's arm holding the data pad. "Nope!" Soundwave quickly switched servos as Megatron pulled his arm down. "You are pushing it youngling!" Megatron playfully threatened. Soundwave emitted small laughter, as he quickly stood up on the berth. Holding the data pad over his helm. Now towering over the warlord he smiled. "You are such a brat" Megatron teased gazing up at the playful youngling.
"You can't get it!" Soundwave taunted. Waving the data pad above his helm. "Oh is that what you think?!" Megatron scoffed. Wrapping a massive arm under Soundwave's knees. Pulling the youngling off the berth. Soundwave flopped upside down at Megatron's mercy. Giggling madly, hugging the data pad. "Ok I win, hand it over" Megatron growled in victory. Switching to his other servo, to grab hold of Soundwave's ankles. Pulling Soundwave up to his face. Soundwave giggled and shook his helm no. The two were having to much fun to even notice the hiss of the doors slide open.
"Lord Megatron I..." Starscream froze at the site he saw.
Thump! Megatron reacted to the intruder, by dropping Soundwave unintentionally.
Soundwave hit his helm hard on the ground, landing head first onto his back. "Scrap!" Megatron gasped. "Starscream don't you know how to knock!?" Megatron roared, quickly turning his rage on the intruding seeker.
"I'm sorry lord Megatron... I... I just!" Starscream stuttered. As Megatron aggressively approached. Soundwave lay on the ground dazed, his helm hurt intensely. Soundwave could here Megatron continue to scream at the seeker. Thier voices echoed and faded from his audios. Soundwave moved his helm back to see the two fighting upside down in blurred vission, that faded into black every few seconds.
"Get out of my site!" Finally the door was, forcefully shut by the warlord. Megatron huffed and turned his attention back to the youngling he dropped hard. Megatron frowned nervously, Soundwave wasn't moving. "Soundwave are you ok?" Megatron warily asked, cautiously walking up to the unmoving youngling.
Soundwave tried to reply to his father. But all that came out was a staticky warble. He was being swarmed by pain, Soundwave just wanted to lay there and not move.
Clearly Megatron dropped him a little harder then he had thought. "I'll help you get up" Megatron said, sitting Soundwave up, as slowly as possible. Soundwave malfunctioning so badly. He couldn't even support his own weight, when Megatron removed his supporting servo.
The warlord quickly caught his dazed youngling. "Ok lets try standing" Megatron panicked. Soundwave let out another staticky warble, as he attempted to move any of his motor functions. The slender spy felt like he weighed heavier then the warship, and did not budge.
"Alright lets go visit Knockout!" Megatron crooned nervously. Scooping the light weight youngling easily into his arms. The gunmetal warlord hurried down to the med bay.
