Deaf Rodimus

Dratchrod

The Lost Light had recently landed and the crew were exploring the nearby town while the ship was being refueled.

Drift and Ratchet held his hands as they walked through the busy streets taking everything in. They'd decided to use their time off to go on a date together and hang out.

They went to a nearby restaurant that Drift had looked up and thought the fuel looked good.

The three of them sat down chatting and having fun together. Ratchet was sharing something First Aid told him and Drift was trying to get them to try the different fuels he'd ordered. Talking about how good they were.

He watched his two future Conjunx admiring how cute they were and falling more in love with them when there was an explosion.

He found himself thrown to the ground and knocked unconscious. When he awoke it was to Drift and Ratchet pulling him away from the roaring fire. Ratchet was looking him over and Drift was saying something he couldn't hear.

His optics widened when he realized his hearing aids had been broken. He tried to pretend like nothing was wrong as he read Drift and Ratchets lips trying to reassure them he was fine and answering every question.

Both of them still seemed concerned somehow able to tell that something was wrong. He just needed to get back to his room and put on his replacement hearing aids without them noticing.

He knew if they found out they wouldn't want him anymore. Cybertron had a lot of backwards views and some of them involved those with disabilities.

He continued reassuring his future mates that he was fine. Normally he would have been happy with their concern knowing they were doing it out of love. Now however he found himself getting upset with them because they refused to leave him alone.

Ratchet was trying to drag him to the medbay and was about to pick him up and carry him. His reassurances were ignored with Ratchet wanting to do more thorough testing. Something he couldn't allow until after he'd replaced his hearing aids knowing Ratchet would figure it out if he did a thorough exam.

When he refused to listen Ratchet and Drift picked him up and carried him to the medbay. He struggled against them still telling them he was fine. Drift held him against his chest as Ratchet looked him over.

He didn't know what Drift was saying because he was behind him and decided to not respond pretending like he was sulking when really he was terrified.

Ratchet seemed to be getting annoyed with him which made him feel guilty that he was stressing him out. He knew his mate was worried about him and just wanted to help but he felt ashamed of his disability and didn't want them to find out.

He was terrified he'd lose the best things that have ever happened to him.

His audial began to spark and he could see Ratchet looking alarmed as he checked the area. He froze in horror as he pulled his damaged hearing aide out.

A look of realization and then understanding flashed though Ratchets face and he found himself flinching in shame.

He didn't know what Drift was saying or doing which only made him more on edge.

He could see Ratchet talking to Drift telling him that he was deaf. He felt tears sting his optics and he pushed himself out of Drifts grasp and ran back to his room.

He locked the door and put on his hearing aids. Refusing to listen to Drift and Ratchet knocking on his door as he curled into a little ball sobbing knowing his relationship was over.

Hot Rod having piercings on his chest and node and being very embarrassed by them since, in Nyon, it signified him wanting to be bred full of sparklings. He tells himself none of his partners would know what they mean but surprise!

Soundwave studied up on Nyonian traditions for Hot Rod and is very excited to have a little or two with him when Hot Rod reveals the piercings to him. He's going to make sure he stuffs his partner with transfluid until he looks like he's already carrying. 💖💖💖

The two of them made out their frames heating up as they touched everywhere they could. Soundwave pulled him into his lap and played with his spoiler causing him to squirm and pant with need.

Soundwave touched a sensitive area on his chest and his chest plating opened up. He looked down in surprise and embarrassment when he saw his pouches.

The piercings on his nipples drawing Soundwave's attention. As he looked at them in surprise. He blushed and squirmed feeling embarrassed because of the meaning behind the piercings. In Nyon it signified wanting to be bred and filled with sparklings.

The meaning was embarrassing and he thought about getting rid of them but he could never bring himself to do it. They were one of the last things he had left of his home and they were important. Besides none of his partners had ever known what it meant. They just thought it was for pleasure only.

Shivering he kissed Soundwave who was still playing with his piercings. The Decepticons engine growled and he flipped him onto his back. He looked up at him in surprise as Soundwave kissed him.

"I learned about Nyonian culture because I wanted to show you that you mattered to me."

He felt tears in his optics because that was the nicest thing anyone had done for him until it truly sunk in what he was saying.

"You know."

"I'd love to have a few sparklings with you."

He whined giving Soundwave a needy look and the Decepticon laughed.

"You like that don't you? Does the idea of being stuffed with my transfluid until you look like your carrying appeal to you?"

He nodded eagerly whimpering as he looked up at Soundwave who played with his piercings looking down at him with lust in his optics.

"Don't worry Hot Rod I'll give you what you need. It won't be long before you are sparked."

Kinktober Day 6: first time

@tf-kinktober2024

I would love love love to see a scenario where Hot Rod is the carrier of Ratbat but he was forcibly separated from his creation by the Autobots. All because Ratbat happened to be a beastformer and, thus, not considered worth the waste of supplies.

Soundwave found poor Ratbat, hungry and abandoned, soon after and took him in, shocked that a bitty was all alone this young.

Later on, during battle, Ratbat escapes from Soundwave and hurries to Hot Rod since he can still feel the bond he has with his carrier. Hot Rod immediately taking him in his arms, crying happily now that they've been reunited.

He stared at the burning remains of Nyon in a cold horror. The only thing left was his sparkling who was asleep in his arms unaware of what happened. He felt tears fall knowing they'd never go home again.

Behind him the Autobots stood ignoring his destroyed home as they tried to recruit him. Wanting to get away from it all he turned around and left with his sparkling in his arms. He didn't know where he would go but he couldn't stay there anymore.

Of course things weren't as simple and the Autobots weren't going to let him go that easily. He'd shown that he was skilled in combat and the Autobots didn't want him joining the other side.

They blocked him from leaving and he sighed telling them to move and that he wasn't joining. Of course they didn't like that and one of them grabbed him. He struggled in their arms feeling exhausted and just wanting to leave.

One of the Autobots ripped his bitty out of his arms and he cried for Ratbat who woke in fear. His little one flapped his wings trying to get away from his captor who wouldn't let go.

He sobbed begging for his sparkling back as he continued to struggle.

Ratbat frantically called for his carrier looking terrified as he tried to get away. He pleaded with them not to hurt his little one and the Autobots laughed and told him to come with them.

He kept screaming and begging frantically reaching for his sparkling who was crying for him as well.

His spark couldn't take the stress anymore and even though he tried to fight it. Still desperately reaching for his sparkling. He passed out.

The Autobots dragged him back to base with Ratbat crying the entire time wanting his carrier.

"We're not taking that disgusting thing back to base are we?"

"Of course not."

The Autobot left Ratbat near some garbage and walked away all of them laughing when he continued to cry.

"That thing was so loud and annoying."

"Stupid beastformers should know their place."

"If that thing wasn't so useless I would have killed him."

They all laughed turning their attention to Hot Rod who they leered at.

"Once we bring him back to base we'll get a promotion."

"The famous Hot Rod of Nyon."

"Not anymore he's not."

They all laughed and one of them began groping him in his sleep.

"What are you doing?"

"He was acting like that thing back there was his creation. You know how carriers are all they want is to have sparklings and I'd be happy to help him."

"You're sick."

They all laughed but kept eyeing Hot Rod hungrily. First they needed to present their catch then they'd have their way with him.

Getting back to base they were stopped by the Autobots annoying medic Ratchet who immediately yelled at them. Instead of getting some alone time with Rodimus he was taken out of their arms and carried to the medbay where he could be properly looked after.

They watched in annoyance before going to report their find. Maybe they'd find some other way to get themselves alone with Rodimus.

His sensors had picked up Autobot signatures and he went to check it out. Looking around the ruins of a small town he was drawn towards a strange noise.

Weapons drawn in case it was a trap he walked closer. Realizing it was a sparkling in distress he rushed over and found a little beastformer sobbing and frantically calling for his carrier. He looked around trying to find them or at least a body except there was nothing.

Realizing the beastformer had been abandoned he scooped the little one up. Planning vengeance if he ever met the person responsible for abandoning the little sparkling.

Taking him back to base the sparkling didn't put up too much of a fight. He gently held him and quietly reassured him that he'd be okay.

Getting home he washed the sparkling who was covered in dirt and ash. After cleaning him he noticed the sparkling was well taken care of which was surprising given the war and how hard it was to come by sparkling energon.

There was no doubt in his mind that he was going to keep Ratbat. He already loved the sparkling and would never let him be hurt again.

The only problem was that he didn't have sparkling energon and it was hard to come by. Luckily Swindle owed him quite a bit and it was time to cash in those favors.

Although Ratbat had been weary at first he'd quickly opened up to him and his cassettes. Ratbat was happy and had found a place amongst their family. Although he noticed there was always an air of sadness around the sparkling. Sometimes when he slept he'd call out for his carrier or he'd stare off into the distance looking sad.

He wanted to help him but he didn't know who his carrier was. He only knew his name because it had been on the blanket he'd been wrapped in which was Nyonian in design.

Which only made the mystery surrounded Ratbat more confusing. Nyon had burned down and when he'd washed the sparkling off he did find ash but it was reported every Nyonian died.

How did Ratbat get there and where was his carrier? Every time he tried learning more about the sparkling he was left with more questions than answers.

A few weeks later and he'd been feeding a hungry Ratbat. When the Autobots decided to attack.

He set the sparkling down and rushed to help. He didn't realize Ratbat managed to hook himself onto his back wanting to help out.

Landing in the middle of the battlefield he began to fight the Autobots when he noticed something strange.

There was an Autobot in their ranks who looked like he had a death wish. At first he thought it was some new recruit wanting to impress their fellow soldiers but there was something about the way they were acting.

It seemed as though they were intentionally trying to die. Their optics looked empty and he walked with a heavy gate as though something was holding him down.

Something about the Autobot didn't look right but he couldn't focus on him. Not when he heard a sound that made his energon freeze in it's lines.

Ratbat who should have been safe in his room chirped loudly gaining unwanted attention. He tried to stop him but the sparkling wiggled out of his grasp and frantically flew towards the Autobot he'd been watching earlier.

He ran after him trying to get him to stop worried about what the Autobot would do if he got too close. Ratbat didn't care however and flew into the mechs arms.

The mech stood there frozen and then looked down at his sparkling. He grabbed his gun and was about to shoot him when he sobbed.

The Autobot pulled Ratbat closer and collapsed onto the ground. Protecting the sparkling the mech held him close and that's when he realized the Autobot was Ratbats carrier and it didn't look like he had a choice in being an Autobot.

Looking around the battle seemed almost over and he knew he needed to get both of them out of there. He had a feeling the carrier didn't abandon his sparkling and someone else had taken him and had been using Ratbat against him knowing how protective carriers are of their young.

After removing the chains wrapped around the Nyonian he picked him up and carried him back to his room. Letting the carrier hold his sparkling so he didn't think he was trying to separate the two of them.

Day 5: wet and messy

Sparked rodimus who is struggling to move around because he’s got such a heavy tank and he’s still so early into carrying.

He doesn’t have to worry too much though.

His secret conjunx tfp Soundwave finally comes back to take care of his conjunx and their awaiting sparklings.

The crew is entirely shocked

So much has happened in the past few years it was hard to keep track of.

The war was finally over. Something he still couldn't believe after fighting for so long he never thought it would end. When he learned that it was over. He felt a mix of emotions. He'd been shocked and happy but also scared for his secret Conjunx.

Before the war they had been together and after Soundwave had a close call in the arena they decided to bond their sparks together.

No one knew about their relationship which had become strained over time. He still loved Soundwave even if he was hurt he'd chosen to be a Decepticon.

Even though they were on different sides they still loved each other and still found ways to meet in secret.

Then Cybertron went dark and everyone was leaving. He'd tried finding Soundwave but was kidnapped by rogue Decepticons and taken off world.

He managed to get away and crashed on a nearby planet. He'd been unconscious for a long time until he'd accidentally been woken up.

He lived on the planet for a while keeping his head down and thwarting any Decepticon activity that might harm the locals.

He'd always known Soundwave was alive and that was the only thing keeping him going after losing everything.

Even now he could still feel him even if it was worryingly faint. After recieving the Autobots message he went back to Cybertron. Desperately needing to know what happened to Soundwave and planning on pleading his case to Optimus.

When he got there however Optimus was gone and things were different.

He asked Bumblebee about the final battle wanting to know more and that's when he learned Soundwave was trapped in the shadow realm.

He'd discreetly asked if they were going to take him out and had been distraught when he learned they didn't plan to.

He'd been terrified for his Conjunx knowing he'd die if he didn't do anything.

Desperate he went to the only person he knew could help.

Ratchet had been shocked as he begged him to save his Conjunx. He'd promised they'd leave and never come back again. He'd promised to watch over him and Ratchet taking pity on him had secretly freed Soundwave.

He'd been overjoyed and hugged his mate. Soundwave had been surprised to see him and that he'd been let out.

Wanting to make up for lost time the two of them began fragging the moment they were alone. They touched each other everywhere getting reacquainted.

He told him they could finally start over. Find a nice planet to settle down on and maybe have a few sparklings like they always talked about.

Soundwave told him he wanted that as well but there were something he needed to do first. He hadn't liked it at the time and the two argued. He thought Soundwave was abandoning him again after he'd just him gotten back.

Soundwave promised he'd be back soon and that he just needed closure. Even though he wasn't happy about it he let him go.

He didn't know how it happened but suddenly he was boarding the Lost Light. They were a group of people just like him who were lost and looking for something.

He quickly began making friends and even though he missed Soundwave a lot it helped lesson the ache in his spark.

That was until he started feeling sick in the morning and noticed he'd suddenly gained weight along with other symptoms.

He'd gone to Ratchet again who'd joined the Lost Light to be with Drift. Who he later learned was Deadlock which explained why Ratchet helped.

The medic informed him that he was sparked much to his shock. At first he'd panicked before deciding to call Soundwave.

His mate immediately picked up and he told him the news looking nervous. Soundwave didn't even have to think about it. He was already on his way.

Waiting for Soundwave felt like the longest time in his life and he couldn't wait for him to get there. With his belly growing rapidly even though he wasn't that far along he needed Soundwave's help.

During their next stop Soundwave was waiting for him and he hugged his mate spoilers fluttering behind him.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded although he did give Soundwave an angry look.

"I'm still mad that you left me."

"I know and you have every right to be. I just needed to see him... I needed to know it was over..."

He wrapped his arms around Soundwave who gently held him.

"It's over. We don't have to fight anymore."

"I know."

While they were talking the List Light crew was freaking out. Although Hot Rod had tried to hide his bump it had quickly become apparent he was sparked. No one had asked him about the sire not wanting to stress Hot Rod out. Now they were watching in shock as the two gently held each other. All of them wondering how Hot Rod had fallen in love with Soundwave of all people.

It was very shocking and Hot Rod pleaded Soundwave's case asking that he be let onboard. Otherwise he would leave not wanting to separate from his mate any longer.

Soundwave had looked shocked because he knew how much Hot Rod adored the Lost Light. The crew decided to allow Soundwave to stay because he hasn't done anything since the war ended. They also didn't want to lose Hot Rod who'd they all come to like.

Feeling exhausted afterwards he took Soundwave home and the two cuddled together finally reunited and about to start a family.

Merformers in the storyline of Roddy and Soundwave having finally met each other and became mates after Roddy was forced to carry his clutch alone.

Roddy finally has the clutch and Soundwave is very protective of his pups, growling and hissing at anyone who comes close. Only Ratchet is allowed around them to ensure they're healthy but he still gets a hiss or two, because Soundwave is a good mate who will do anything for his tired mate and their beautiful litter.

When Soundwave induced labor it had been quite a shock and he'd looked at the other mer frantically feeling unprepared.

The people who worked at the facility were also freaking out and trying to find a way to help him. However Soundwave kept hissing and snapping at them getting more aggressive every time he cried out in pain.

The mer was obviously worried they were going to hurt his mate and take him away.

He found himself clinging to Soundwave who brought him to his nest. It wasn't perfect and even in pain he felt ashamed thinking it wasn't good enough for his family.

His mate reassured him that it was perfect. Both of them distracted when he cried out in pain feeling the pup leave his gestation chamber.

He felt tears in his optics as he struggled. Birthing fluids flooded the area and he whined.

Soundwave tried to reassure him the entire time glaring and warning the workers to stay away. He wasn't leaving Hot Rod's side ever again.

His slit spasmed and he knew it wouldn't be long before his pups were born.

Ratchet having enough of the chaos came over and threatened to sedate Soundwave which would cause him to miss his pups being born.

Soundwave had stubbornly held him and even hissed at Ratchet but let him do his work.

Ratchet was careful as he swam inside their tank. He knew at any moment Soundwave could snap and try to kill him for hurting his mate.

He checked him over and knew the pups were ready to come out. Hot Rod screamed and began to push causing the pups head to poke out. He directed him where he could but at this point it was all instinct that helped Hot Rod push.

He ended up having five pups who were greedily drinking his milk as he laid there exhausted. Soundwave held his mate close and glared at him to leave now that the pups were out. Not wanting to stick around he climbed out and documented what happened.

Hot Rod lay barely awake with Soundwave cleaning him and scooting their pups closer making sure they were warm and cozy.

He pressed against his mate breathing in his scent and happy he was there to help him because he didn't know what he'd do without him.

The two mers cuddled together with Soundwave protectively watching over his family while Hot Rod fell asleep with their pups.

I have a request for you, can you come up with an interesting and romantic story about a Cheetor and Starscream from the Cyberverse?

He felt sad that no one needed his help and decided to take a walk outside hoping to clear his head. That's when he ran into a mech who was sitting in a tree.

"What are you doing up there?"

"I'm enjoying my day."

The mech landed in front of him. Looking at the symbols on his wings he took a step back giving him a weary look.

"You're a Decepticon."

"I mean you no harm. I couldn't help but notice you looked a little sad."

He shrugged still not trusting the Decepticon.

"My name is Starscream and I think you're very pretty."

He blushed looking at him in surprise because no one had ever said that to him before.

"I hate seeing someone so pretty look so sad. Tell me what's wrong?"

He shifted looking at the Decepticon. Although everyone told him not to trust them he thought Starscream was different and decided to talk to him. Maybe he could even get Starscream to see his side and convince Megatron to unite Cyberton with Optimus.

The idea made him purr and Starscream laughed. Although it didn't seem mean at least he didn't think. The two of them started hanging out more often and he constantly found himself flustered by Starscreams attention.

He liked the mech a lot and after watching a human romance movie. He realized he had romantic feelings for Starscream.

When he realized he panicked at the thought wondering if Starscream would feel the same. He couldn't talk to any of his friends because he didn't want them to get upset with him because he liked a Decepticon.

The two of them had been sitting together and Starscream could tell something was wrong. He kept asking him if something happened and he ended up blurting out that he liked the Decepticon.

Starscream had been stunned and then said he liked him back much to his excitement. The two of them started sneaking out more and secretly dating.

Then Starscream betrayed him. He took the all spark for himself and laughed in his face saying that he never loved him. He'd been shocked and hurt as he watched Starscream take off leaving him all alone with a broken spark. Wondering how he could have been such a fool as to not realize Starscream was using him to get the all spark.

Day 1: filming/photography

@tf-kinktober2024

Someone drugs Hot Rod's drink one evening in Maccadam's and Soundwave intervenes, rescuing Hot Rod from a handsy mech who is trying to force Hot Rod to come home with them.

He'd just gotten off work and decided to hangout at Maccadams and have some engex while watching cube. When he'd gotten there it had been crowded with other people watching the game as well.

He managed to find a seat at the bar and after ordering his drink he watched the screen in front of him. He cheered when his team scored a goal so distracted he didn't notice someone sit next to him until they spoke.

"Are you a fan of the game?"

He nodded and glanced at the mech who leaned towards him.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing here alone?"

He gave him a flustered look.

"I just got off work and wanted to watch the game."

"That's fair. I'm here for the same reason."

The mech held out his hand and introduced himself.

"Wieldwheel."

"Hot Rod."

"A pretty name for a pretty mech."

He found himself blushing as the mech gestured for the bartender.

"Let me buy you a glass."

"You don't have to. I'm already drinking this one."

"It's nothing besides you've already finished that one."

He glanced at his empty glass wondering when he finished it. Only to be distracted by Wieldwheel ordering for the both of them.

He gave him a surprised look when he got his order right and the mech shrugged.

"I heard you earlier when I was coming over to talk to you."

His team scored another goal and Wieldwheel cheered.

"Looks like they'll be winning the game."

"Then it's off to championships."

The bartender brought their glasses back and he took a sip of his. Wieldwheel talked about the game and he'd occasionally look at the screen.

He finished his drink and Wieldwheel ordered him another one which he couldn't refuse. Not when Wieldwheel was insisting he take it. The two of them kept talking until he felt dizzy and his processor felt heavy.

The mech he'd been talking to called his name and when he gave him a confused look he asked if he was okay and how much he had to drink. He tried to tell him he didn't have that much, but his words slurred and the mech helped him out of his seat and towards the exit.

He weakly struggled against him because Wieldwheel was practically a stranger and he didn't want to go with him.

There was something inside of him telling him not to go and he found himself shaking his head and trying to call one of his friends.

Wieldwheel grabbed his phone and took it away from him while carrying him outside since his legs wouldn't work.

He frantically looked around trying to ask for help and struggling. Wieldwheel refused to let him go and began touching him all over. He shivered in disgust barely able to speak as black spots entered his vision.

Wieldwheels hands were suddenly removed by force with Soundwave glaring down at him. The mech looked up in fear a Soundwave attacked him angry that he tried to hurt him.

Struggling to stand in his own he leaned against Soundwave for comfort and support. His boyfriend wrapped an arm around him and helped him leave Maccadams.

He clung to him the entire way and Soundwave ended up carrying him because he was having trouble walking.

When they got back to their apartment Soundwave led him to their bedroom. He sat him on the bed and looked him over.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded giving him a grateful look.

"I am now that you rescued me."

"Get some rest Roddy."

He nodded suddenly exhausted from the ordeal and laid down quickly falling asleep knowing Soundwave would watch over him.

Late happy birthday greetings, Ocean! Hope you had a good celebration and got to enjoy yourself. Wanted to share this Soundrod scenario with you as my gift:

Nyon's insurgency against Sentinel Prime's government is an open secret at this point and it makes sense to the Decepticons to recruit some of their members to their cause. The insurgents are already trained in urban warfare and combat, making them valuable additions to their cause.

Soundwave is assigned a scouting + vetting mission to look for the insurgents’ best and brightest, and that’s how he comes across Hot Rod, a beloved scout for the insurgency and one of the most beautiful mechs Soundwave has ever seen. It isn’t long before he’s trying to recruit Hot Rod to the Decepticon Cause and during their long discussions, they end up falling into berth and having amazing interface with each other.

Sadly, the next day Soundwave is suddenly recalled from Nyon to help Megatron in an attack against Autobots so he has to leave, not even having enough time to tell Hot Rod what’s happening or leave his .comm to his dismay. Hot Rod is never far from Soundwave’s mind and when he hears Nyon has burned to the ground? He mourns Hot Rod, almost like he’s his Conjunx.

Time passes and Soundwave gets the shock of his life when he’s in a neutral city and bumps into Hot Rod — Who is carrying a bitlet who takes after him in appearance, basically a little mini version of him if not for the blue optics the bitty inherited from Hot Rod. Turns out, Hot Rod was sparked up by Soundwave and is now raising the bitty all by his lonesome, beliving he was ditched by Soundwave so he’s relunctant to trust Soundwave’s apologies even if Soundwave promises to look after the two of them and make things right.

"Soundwave?"

He paused. Glancing at his leader who walked over handing him a datapad.

"I have a mission for you."

He looked at the datapad reading about Nyonian rebels stopping Sentinels mechs from destroying a hospital, that helped mechs from all stations.

"I want you to go there and recruit some of those rebels. They would be a valuable asset to the Decepticons."

He nodded watching a video of them fight. They were already trained in urban warfare and combat which let them sneak through the city with ease.

While the Decepticons had a lot of heavy hitters they didn't have the skill or gracefulness to sneak through a city.

"I want you to bring me their best and brightest. Not only will they fight for us but they will also teach my army how to fight like them. Which will give us an advantage in city's."

He nodded understanding how important this mission was. He left immediately and went to the city of Nyon where he surveyed the city waiting for rebel activity.

It was late at night when he saw a group of rebels stealing food and medicine from sentinels army. Wanting to get on their good side he decided to help out showing off his own impressive skills.

The rebels were surprised and also grateful because he allowed them to steal more food.

Once they were safe from Sentinels mechs he was surprised when they began distributing the fuel to Nyons citizens. He'd assumed they'd taken it for themselves.

Although Kaon was in better shape than Nyon no one would have ever done something like that. In his city it was everyone for themselves and people would rather steal from each other than the government officials who've taken all the fuel.

In Nyon it was different with everyone helping each other no matter how bad it got.

One of the rebels pulled him aside after the others left and thanked him for helping. He'd shrugged saying that he wanted to help fight back against the injustice that's taking place.

The rebel had invited him to their next meeting the following evening Before taking off with the others leaving him alone to think it over.

Although he didn't get the rebels name he'd shown some impressive skills and he knew Megatron would be intrigued. He decided to keep a close optic on that one.

When he went to the rebels meeting he noticed the same mech from before. He decided to stand next to him as assignments were passed out.

He ended up getting an assignment with the same mech. Where they worked together to gain vital information on Sentinel's troops movements.

At one point they ran into a guard on accident who almost shot the rebel until he stopped them.

"Thanks."

After they'd competed their mission the mech finally introduced himself.

"My name is Hot Rod."

It was a beautiful name which was fitting because after following the rebel, he watched as he took off his disguise and revealed a beautiful mech underneath.

After that the two of them became closer as they were assigned more missions together. He also talked with some of the other rebels learning which ones were the most skilled.

They were sitting in Hot Rods apartment watching a movie or so he thought.

"Why'd you help us that night?"

"You were doing something most people won't. You were fighting against Sentinel and that's something I want to do. I want a better Cybertron."

"That's not the only reason."

He sighed because Hot Rod was smarter than he liked to act.

"I was sent here to recruit Nyonian rebels for the Decepticon cause."

Hot Rod looked at him in surprise and then shrugged.

"Fine, I'll hear you out. Although I don't know how many people will join. Most of us don't want to leave our home."

He could tell Hot Rod was one of them and he worked on trying to convince him. The two often had debates and it was during one of tho times that they ended up sleeping together.

Hot Rod had invited him to his apartment and the two of them had been deep in debate. There had been an electric tension in the air as the two of them got closer. He didn't know who kissed first but suddenly they were kissing.

He remembered scooping Hot Rod into his arms and taking him to bed where the two interfaced until they were both too exhausted to continue.

They cuddled together afterwards just talking about random things. His arms were wrapped around Hot Rod who was laying on his chest. Both of them fell asleep together and remained that way for the next few hours.

Thay was until Megatron urgently called him. He picked up still half asleep until Megatron told him the Decepticons were under attack and they desperately needed him. He looked down at Hot Rod who was still asleep.

He didn't have time to wake him before he had to leave and he was already out of the city before he realized he didn't leave a note.

He cursed his luck and promised that he'd go back to Nyon soon and make it up to him. He never wanted to leave him like that, but the Decepticons needed him.

After stopping the Autobots attack he wanted to return to Nyon. But there was so much that needed to be done and Megatron needed him there.

Hot Rod was always on his mind and he found his mind wandering always thinking about the Nyonian and wondering how he was doing.

He always planned on going back to him until the worst day of his life. He found out Nyon had been destroyed and after hearing the news he ended up collapsing from shock. His mind racing with all sorts of possibilities and he blamed himself for his death. He should have never left him behind. He should have gone back for him and he should have made Hot Rod come with him. Now he would never see him again and all he could do was live in regret, wondering if there was more he could have done.

Losing Hot Rod destroyed him and after learning about the Autobots complacency in the matter he was determined to destroy them and threw himself into his work.

Time passed and a few years later he found himself in a neutral city investigating the corrupt leaders of that city, who were making deals with Autobots.

He was walking along a busy street corner when he noticed a sparkling crying. He looked around wondering where his creators were and went to check on the sparkling and make sure he was okay.

He crouched down in front of the sparkling and asked.

"Are you lost? Where are your creators?"

The sparkling nodded giving him a sad look.

"I'll help you look for them."

The sparkling took his hand and they walked along the street when the sparkling suddenly shouted.

"Carrier!"

He watched as the sparkling ran to Hot Rod who looked like he was in distress over his missing sparkling.

He watched as the two hugged each other and that's when he noticed for the first time. He'd been so distracted trying to help him he didn't even realize the sparkling looked exactly like him. Except for his big blue optics that looked so much like his carriers.

When Hot Rod noticed him it was like time froze and then he was walking away from him. Having a million questions he chased after him not wanting Hot Rod to get away again. Especially after he thought the Nyonian was dead.

Hot Rod led him back to his home and had his sparkling go inside and play. He then turned to him with a hurt look and he flinched knowing he deserved it for leaving him.

He knew Hot Rod didn't trust him but he begged the Nyonian to let him be in his sparklings life. He knew what he did was wrong and he promised to spend every day of his life making it up to him.

Hot Rod still didn't trust him but he also didn't want to deny his sparkling a sire.

"Fine but if you do anything to hurt him I want you gone and I don't want you to come back."

He nodded and Hot Rod finally introduced him to their sparkling.

Rodimus getting more comfortable with having his audial implants out now that Ratchet and Drift know.

They come up with cute and romantic ways to get his attention and make him feel seen.

To be seen is to be loved

Even though Drift and Ratchet knew Rodimus never took them out unless he absolutely had to and even then he didn't want them around when he did and looked very uncomfortable.

Even mentioning them would make him uncomfortable and he'd immediately try and change the subject.

Drift and Ratchet decided to give him space knowing he'd feel more comfortable in his own time and slowly he started to feel more comfortable.

It started out small by letting them stay with him when he took his implants out and then moved to taking them out at least for a little while.

Wanting to support him they both learned sign language and the three of them began talking all the time that way.

Rodimus especially liked to use it when they were in a boring meeting.

Both Drift and Ratchet came up with their own ways to get his attention. Rodimus always blushes and looks embarrassed not used to being seen in such a way.

Both Drift and Ratchet promise to make Rodimus smile like that more often and help him feel seen in a positive way.

They also come up with their own ways of saying I love you. Wanting Rodimus to know that they'll always love him in every language.

They watched as Rodimus not only became more comfortable taking off his implants around them but also gained confidence.

The two of them loved how happy Rodimus had gotten. To the point he almost seemed to glow.

can we get part two of soundwave kidnapping Hotrod to make ratbat happy?

When he woke up he found himself chained to a bed with Soundwave nearby. He glared at the Decepticon demanding he release him.

"No. Ratbat wants to keep you and I can't have you wandering around the Decepticons base."

He glared and struggled to get out of his hand cuffs.

"I'm an Autobot and shouldn't be here."

"You're Ratbats caretaker now."

Soundwave opened his chest plating and Ratbat flew out. The sparkling chirped happily and cuddled against his chest for warmth.

He glared at Soundwave who was watching the two of them.

"I'm not staying."

"Yes you are. Now be a good little carrier and let your coding activate."

He looked at him in surprise because no one was supposed to know that. He then noticed a warning telling him that his coding was starting to activate. Panicking he gave Soundwave an accusing look.

"You did this to me."

"I didn't do anything. Your body has already decided that it's Ratbats caretaker."

The sparkling nuzzled against him and he could feel his coding desperately trying to activate. It was embarrassing because he didn't want anyone to know and because his chest plates were trying to open.

He glared at Soundwave refusing to back down.

"I'm not going to join your cause."

"You don't have to. All you have to do is take care of my cassettes."

"Why? Because you can't take care of them yourself. Especially Ratbat who you let wander around the middle of battlefields almost getting hurt."

Soundwave glared and his engine growled clearly unhappy with his words. He would have been pleased if Ratbat hadn't interrupted them.

He'd been nuzzling at his chest plates this entire time but now he was chirping hungrily.

He glanced down at the little cassette and then back at Soundwave.

"I can't feed him like this. Do you have a bottle or something?"

Soundwave immediately gave Ratbat a guilty look.

"We're out of sparkling energon."

"What?!"

"We've been trying to ration it as we look for more but there isn't more. Sparkling energon isn't a priority and the ones we have found have been poisoned."

He stared at Soundwave in shock having no idea. Now that he was really looking at him he could see how exhausted he was. He'd been desperately searching for sparkling energon while having to watch his bitty constantly worried he wouldn't be able to feed him.

Soundwave almost looked ready to cry as Ratbat kept chirping hungrily. He shifted in discomfort having no idea what to say or do.

He had no idea sparkling energon was in short supply or that people were poisoning it. He didn't even know what kind of a monster would do that.

Ratbat made a strange noise that made Soundwave tense worried for his sparkling. He looked down in confusion feeling his chest plates suddenly open much to his shock.

Looking down his once empty pouches were now filled with energon and he stared at them while Ratbat eagerly latched on.

He glanced back at Soundwave feeling embarrassed as his pouches were suddenly exposed. He had tears in his optics and Soundwave sensing his distress covered him with a blanket.

He then crouched down surprising him even more when he pleaded with him to help.

"Please Hot Rod we need you. Ratbat will die if he doesn't eat."

He looked down at the sparkling who was hidden by the blanket and then back at Soundwave. He felt horribly conflicted because he wasn't a Decepticon and didn't want to stay there for who knows how long chained to his bed but he also couldn't let an innocent sparkling suffer.

"Fine I'll stay."

"Thank you."

Soundwave sighed in relief giving him a grateful look.

"Let me get you some energon so you can refill as well."

Soundwave left the room and he watched him go. Surprised by how expressive Soundwave could be and that he didn't know the Decepticon at all. Just like his teammates they all saw him a certain way and now he's realizing how wrong they've been.

Your writing is so lovely, ahhhh.

Can you imagine a scenario where Ratbat gets attached to Hot Rod after he's saved by him one day? He actively looks for Hot Rod during battle and Hot Rod panics when he sees a sparkling out on the battlefield so he does what he can to protect Ratbat.

Soundwave sees this and takes Hot Rod back to Decepticon base, thinking this is the best way to keep Ratbat from slipping out but whoops! Soundwave fell in love with how doting and kind Hot Rod is to his cassette, despite being the enemy.

Bombs dropped around him and he dove for cover. Curling into a ball he hid inside one of the many abandoned buildings waiting for the bombers to leave.

He didn't know how long it had been but he'd just stood up when he heard a sparkling cry. At first he thought he was hearing things until he heard it again.

He looked around in shock wondering what a sparkling was doing in a place like that.

He frantically looked around calling for the little one and following his cries. He frantically dug through the rubble and pulled out a little sparkling that looked like a bat.

He cradled the little one in his arms and looked around for some kind of creator. When he didn't find one he decided to take the little one with him, refusing to leave him there any longer. It wasn't safe for a sparkling and he'd never survive on his own.

He didn't even make it out of the city before Soundwave grabbed him. He struggled against him doing his best to protect the sparkling as he fought the Decepticons third in command. The entire time his spark was racing wondering what he was doing all the way out there.

The sparkling cried out for his sire and he gave him a confused look when Soundwave snatched him away with a growl.

He turned around ready to attack the Decepticon and protect the sparkling with his life when he saw the sparkling cuddled against Soundwave chirping warmly.

Soundwave glared at him pulling the sparkling closer and he glared back.

"Why did you leave this sparkling in the middle of a war zone he could have been killed?"

He hissed and Soundwave growled clenching his hand into a fist.

"Don't you dare act all high and mighty Autobot. Not when you kidnapped my sparkling and put him there."

"I didn't do anything. I'm the one who found him abandoned in those ruins which your people were dropping bombs on."

"Seekers."

Soundwave seemed annoyed and Ratbat chirped cutely drawing both their attention. The little sparkling managed to slip out of Soundwave's hold and fly over to him. He pet the sparkling and carefully held him while Soundwave watched.

"Ratbat return we must leave immediately."

Ratbat hugged him and then flew back to Soundwave who turned away from him.

"Since you rescued my sparkling and I know you didn't take him I'll let you go this once."

With that Soundwave transformed and took off leaving him alone. He sighed and walked back to Autobot base the entire time thinking about Ratbat. Even though he'd only known him for a short while he already missed him. He was also thinking about the Autobots who took Ratbat and if Soundwave was telling the truth he was going to get to the bottom of it.

It wasn't until months later that he saw Ratbat again. They were in the middle of a battle when he heard a familiar sound.

He looks over and found Ratbat flying towards him. Someone tried to shoot the little sparkling and he stopped them without thinking.

Rushing to the sparkling he pulled him into his arms. His spark was racing as the little sparkling looked up at him with big trusting optics. Around him the war raged on and he held Ratbat close so he could protect him.

It was too dangerous for a sparkling to be in the middle of a battlefield and he looked around searching for Soundwave wondering where he was.

Ratbat clung to him as he looked for his sire trying to return the missing sparkling worried he'd get hurt.

He ended up running into Soundwave who nearly sound blasted him in a rage, until he noticed Ratbat. He looked at the sparkling in shock who snuggled against him looking happy despite the circumstances.

"Lost something?"

"Where did you find him?"

Soundwave snapped and he glared.

"I found him wandering around the middle of a battlefield all alone. Why is he out here it's no place for a sparkling?"

"He's been escaping recently."

"Escaping?"

"He's been looking for something which has been you apparently."

An explosion went off nearby and Soundwave pulled him closer shielding the both of them. Ratbat made a sound of alarm and he quietly soothed the sparkling.

He heard Megatron call retreat and he went to return Ratbat when Soundwave grabbed him.

"What are you doing?"

He looked at him in surprise.

"Ratbat seems to like you and you obviously like him."

He struggled in his arms trying to get away.

"Doesn't mean I want you to kidnap me."

"Ratbat will keep escaping in order to find you and this time we got lucky but next time we might not. If this is the best way to keep him out of harm then so be it."

Soundwave knocked him out before he could argue against kidnapping him and he was taken to the Decepticons base.

Hi ^_^

Can we get a part two of Rodimus being deaf with Drift and Ratchet finding out?

Maybe Rodimus tells them he laid down for just a klik and ended up falling asleep missing their calls and knocks?

They believe him.

Some months later and they live together.

They come home early to Rodimus cooking and call his name but he doesn’t answer. They try a few more times and Rodimus doesn’t answer. Drift yells his name wondering whats going on, he’s about to walk up to him when Ratchet stops him.

He yells Rodimus name too and makes a very loud clap and still no reaction.

“What is he—”

“By Primus..he’s deaf.”

“What?”

“He can’t hear us…he can’t..”

Ratchet takes a moment to think and his optics cycle, “That day we banged on his door..he wasn’t ignoring us…he couldn’t hear us!”

They both look at each other and then at Rodimus who still didn’t know they were in the room.

“Why would he hide this from us?”

“Mechs that couldn’t be fixed were considered mechs that shouldn’t exist..”

Ratchet looked somber, anguish washing over at the memories of so many smelted or left for offlining for not being “functional.”

He lifted his pede and let it hit the floor hard making Rodimus look up. The sudden vibration caught his attention and he looked around confused before turning and his spark froze.

“I..drift..ratchet..”

“Don’t lie kid, we know,” his signing was rusty but Ratchet still got his message across.

They noticed his words were a little lagging without being able to hear them and following his optics glance across the room, they saw his audial implants.

“So thats how you hear.”

It was..painful. Drift sat Rodimus down and held his shoulder struts from behind while Ratchet took a look at his audials and implants.

His implants are fine and Ratchet discovers what Rodimus already knows, that it can’t be fixed.

Drift tightens his grip on Rodimus to keep him from running away and Ratchet holds onto his face plates.

“This doesn’t change a thing kid,” he mouths.

Drift can’t sign but he can transfer thoughts and feelings and he says the same.

—

Just an idea i wanted to splurge.

Do whatever you please

The next day Ratchet and Drift were acting weird and part of him panicked wondering if they somehow knew.

Realistically he knew it wasn't possible but he was still nervous as he watched the two of them. Ratchet seemed particularly cold with him and even snapped at him.

He'd given him a hurt look not understanding what he'd done wrong until Drift told him.

He quickly came up with an excuse feeling embarrassed and silently angry at himself for forgetting their movie night. He should have been more careful and he was lucky they didn't find out.

"I'm sorry. I'd been so tired that night I ended up falling asleep."

"We heard the TV."

"I accidentally rolled onto the remote in my sleep but I was deep asleep and didn't hear it."

He gave him an embarrassed look and was relieved when both Drift and Ratchet bought it.

He promised to schedule another movie night with them and Ratchet made him promise that he'd get better sleep so that didn't happen again.

A few months later and he was now mostly living with them. If he needed to charge his audials he'd usually tell them he needed space and would sleep there for the night.

He'd been so busy recently he didn't have time to charge his audials and they were running out of battery.

Since Drift and Ratchet would be gone all day he decided to risk it by charging his audials while they was gone.

He would have gone back to his room. But that night was date night and he promised to cook for them. He had a lot of work to do and all his cooking supplies were in their kitchen. He also didn't want to be so far away from his audials in case he needed to quickly put them on.

Ratchet and Drift had gotten off work early to surprise Rodimus. They walked inside their apartment and could smell Rodimus cooking them dinner.

Drift called for Rodimus and frowned when he got no response. The two of them called him multiple times and assumed he was listening to music or distracted by something.

They walked into the kitchen and Drift loudly called Rodimus who didn't respond. They don't see him dancing like he'd usually do when he's listening to music and his back was facing the two of them.

Drift went to tap on Rodimus shoulder when Ratchet stopped him.

He yelled Rodimus name and loudly clapped his hands.

They both stood there watching as Rodimus still didn't react and Drift gave his future Conjunx a worried look, wondering if something was wrong with Rodimus. Ratchet however was staring at him in shock.

"...He's deaf."

"What?"

"He can't hear us... He can't..."

Ratchet trailed off as he realized something.

"That day we were banging on his door. The reason he didn't answer is because he couldn't hear us."

They both looked back at Rodimus and Drift gave him a sad look.

"Why would he hide this from us?"

"Mechs who couldn't be fixed were seen as useless and people thought they shouldn't exist."

Drift growled looking angry and Ratchet just looked sad remembering all those he couldn't fix who were then left to die.

Unable to take it anymore Drift rushed over and hugged Rodimus from behind. Wanting to protect him from the cruel world they live in that had tried to destroy his beautiful future Conjunx.

Rodimus jumped in surprise nearly dropping what he'd been holding when Drift caught it. He looked over at them in surprise and confusion as Drift kept holding onto him nuzzling his cheek.

"Drift.... Ratchet.... You're home early..."

He gave them both a nervous look wondering if he could excuse himself to the bathroom and grab his audials along the way.

"Don't lie kid, we know."

He froze as Ratchet attempted to sign. He was rusty and it took him a moment to translate, but he eventually figured out what he was trying to say.

Rodimus felt tears in his optics which he forced away unwilling to cry at the moment as he looked between the two mechs he loved and his implants that were charging.

"So that's how you hear."

Ratchet went to touch them and he flinched ignoring the worried look Drift gave him he walked over and put them on. The entire time his frame was vibrating so hard you could hear it.

Both Drift and Ratchet gave him worried looks as he stood there shaking and trying not to cry now that his secret had been revealed. He was expecting a rejection and was surprised when none came. Instead they pulled him into their arms and told him how much they loved him and that this didn't change anything.

He cried in their arms and the three of them sat on the couch cuddled together. Drift held him while Ratchet looked at his audials and the implants he was wearing silently wondering how he never noticed something so important about the mech he loved.

He looked down feeling ashamed knowing they couldn't be repaired and that he'd been selfish. They didn't deserve a damaged Conjunx and should leave him and find someone better.

Both Drift and Ratchet must have realized what he was thinking because they held him close. Ratchet signed that it didn't change anything and that they loved him while Drift pushed his love and adoration through his field.

He cried some more letting Drift and Ratchet hold him and reassure him in a way he never thought possible.

Rodimus who often uses sign to communicate to his little brother bee who is mute and his own Carrier ( Optimus is Bee’s carrier ) Perceptor who is partially deaf.

He signs so often he forgets to talk and thats why Soundwave didn’t know Rodimus could talk

With the war going on their numbers had gotten worryingly low to the point Megatron and Optimus decided to end the war. If they didn't stop their species would go extinct.

With the peace treaty signed people were being encouraged to sign up for the matchmaker. It was a lot like human dating sights. Where you'd match people and if you were interested in them you'd start talking to them.

He'd just started the sign in process wanting to do his part. When he heard a group of Autobots and Decepticons near him talking loudly about the matchmaker.

They'd already signed up for it and were now swiping on different people. One of them had come across Rodimus and immediately showed the others making disparaging comments about him.

Since most injuries and sicknesses could be healed. People looked down on those who couldn't be healed. They were oftentimes seen as damaged and some people think they should die because they were considered useless.

It wasn't true at all and Rodimus was far from useless. But that didn't stop them from making noises of disgust.

"Imagine having to constantly sign for him."

"I know. It would be so annoying having to constantly deal with him all because he can't speak. It's so pathetic."

"I don't know why they're allowing him to sign up. Cyberton doesn't need anymore broken bots. Those with disabilities shouldn't be allowed to have sparklings."

His engine reved and he glared at the people who were talking about Rodimus. They all jumped out of their seats and quickly ran away in fear.

He vowed to punish them later as he finished signing in. Part of him had been hoping Rodimus would sign up for the matchmaker.

If he was going to mate with anyone he wanted it to be Rodimus. His resilience and bravery had always attracted his attention ever since they first met. When Rodimus had been forced to destroy his home. It had been tragic but Rodimus had inspired him to work harder in the hopes that no one had to suffer what he did.

Even though Rodimus had lost everything that day he never gave up and continued fighting for what he believed in.

He'd learn Cybertronian sign language just for Rodimus wanting to have conversations with him. Throughout the war he'd watched him in secret sometimes stopping Decepticons from offlining him.

Even though they were on different sides he respected Rodimus a lot and after he saved one of his cassetticons, he'd found himself falling in love with him.

Even though he knew sign language he never had the chance to speak with him. Sometimes because he was too nervous or other times because something else came up.

After scrolling through the matchmaker for a little while he found Rodimus account and sent him a message.

It wasn't long before he got a response and the two began talking all the time. Even though they knew who it was. Talking behind a screen felt so much easier and he was learning so much. Rodimus was so much more than he could have imagined and he found himself looking forward to seeing him in person.

They ended up meeting up at Maccadams and he was about to sign hello when Rodimus spoke. He stared at him in surprise and wondered if something was wrong with his audials when Rodimus spoke again.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded trying not to stare at him in shock.

"I didn't know you could speak "

Rodimus blushed when he realized what he was talking about.

"Oh... I'm so used to signing sometimes I forget to speak."

"You have a wonderful voice."

"Thanks."

Rodimus then gave him a confused look.

"If you thought I couldn't speak. Why did you agree to this date?"

This time it was his turn to look embarrassed as he sheepishly admitted to learning sign language so he could speak to him.

Rodimus looked at him in shock and looked about ready to cry. Panicking he tried to reassure him not sure what he was supposed to say.

"That is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I can't believe you learned sign language because you thought I couldn't speak."

He shrugged feeling embarrassed.

"Well you're pretty special and I wanted to get to know you."

Rodimus beamed and the two of them went inside where they continued their date which was a big success. The two of them continued going on dates for a while until they were ready to make it official and it wasn't long before the two of them were bonded with a sparkling on the way.

Okay, sue me

Please give us a third part to hot rod being ratbats caregiver and he’s taken by autobots while sparked

The Autobots forced them off the transport and led them inside where they were placed inside a prison cell.

Around him people cried for their loved ones who'd been killed and their freedom which had been taken from them. No one knew what was going to happen next, if the Autobots were going to execute them for their perceived betrayal or if they'd be forced to join.

The entire time he barely resisted putting a hand on his belly wanting to reassure himself that his little one was safe. He should have never left Soundwave and the Decepticons. Even if they were in the middle of a war, he would have been safe with them.

He didn't know how long they sat there until the Autobots came back.

"We will forget your treasonous actions if you join us."

"And if we don't?"

Someone dared to ask and one of the Autobots shot them.

"You'll be executed as punishment."

He shivered wrapping his arms around himself as though he could protect his sparkling. Those who remained were split up into groups and assigned jobs.

His job was working in the boiler room and was very labor intensive. He worked long hours and only got to sleep for a few hours before they were forced back to work. Rations were very small and he found himself constantly worried that he was going to lose his sparkling because of the stress he was under.

He found himself feeling sick all the time but he was still forced to work. Since he wasn't eating much his belly didn't show, which was a good thing because he didn't want them to know he was sparked.

Although the labor he was doing now was hard. What they'd force him to do if they knew he was sparked would be much worse.

He tried coming up with a few plans to escape knowing he was on borrowed time. It wouldn't be long before he started to show and the Autobots realized he was sparked.

He wished there was some kind of way he could send Soundwave a message. Although he doubted Soundwave would want to hear from him after he left him.

Soundwave had been looking all over for Hot Rod and had been a mess ever since he left him. He'd reread the letter repeatedly always wondering what he did wrong. Not understanding why Hot Rod had to leave. Everyone had been walking on eggshells around him worried he'd snap at any moment.

He'd been staring blankly at one of his reports when Ravage had walked in with urgent news.

"I found Hot Rod."

He found himself sitting up before he even realized it.

"Where?"

"He's been captured by the Autobots."

Ravage showed him the footage and he watched as Hot Rod was forced to work in the boiler room. His feet were chained to the ground in order to stop him from escaping. He looked tired and his paint beautiful was now dull and chipped.

Nearby an Autobot barked orders at him and he flinched away. He watched angrily as the Autobots were working him to his death.

"How did this happen?"

"Hot Rod was about to leave Cybertron when the Autobots had stopped everyone from leaving. They'd accused them of treason and taken them back to their base."

"Typical Autobots acting as though they owned all of Cybertron."

He continued looking at the footage giving Hot Rod a worried look. Even though he'd left him he still loved him and he wouldn't let him remain in Autobot custody any longer.

Hopefully after he'd rescued him Hot Rod would give him an explanation on why he left and maybe they could even work things out.

"We need to rescue him."

"We're ready to go."

He looked at Ravage in surprise and he shrugged.

"We already knew what you were going to say."

He followed Ravage out of his office and to the hanger where others were waiting. Megatron had gathered them in order to attack the Autobot base.

"Good luck getting Hot Rod back."

He nodded and together the Decepticons marched towards the Autobots base. All of them filled with anger at the idea of Autobots kidnapping civilians and forcing them to work for them.

He stormed the base in a rage desperately searching for Hot Rod. Ravage led him to the prisons where he was sitting on the floor. He barely noticed him when he walked in and it wasn't until he said something that Hot Rod looked up.

"Are you real?"

He nodded and hacked open the door. Stepping inside he walked to Hot Rod who stood on shakey legs looking about ready to collapse.

"I'm so sorry Soundwave I should have never left."

Hot Rod gave him a sad look as he wrapped his arms around himself and he desperately wanted to take him back to the Decepticon base and keep him by his side forever.

"I was so worried about our sparkling growing up in this war and I thought leaving would have been the best option."

He looked at Hot Rod in surprise just as he collapsed from exhaustion. He easily caught him giving him a worried look.

Ravage and the others freed the other prisoners while he took Hot Rod to the medbay. He sat by his side while the medics worked the entire time trying to process the fact Hot Rod was sparked.

Soundwave noticing Rodimus yawns more and recharges more often. He has less energy and sleeps in longer.

Soundwave is the first to notice and soon Drift is asking Rodimus whats wrong when he shows up to their hab after Rodimus is late to their amica bonding time.

Soundwave pieces it together when Rodimus rubs his tanks that’ve grown quite a bit

"Are you feeling alright?"

Rodimus looked up giving his mate a confused look.

"I feel fine. Why are you asking?"

"You seem tired lately."

He shrugged leaning against Soundwave as he looked over a datapad.

"Maybe."

"After you finish this why don't you get some rest?"

"Hmm."

Roddy nodded yawning as he finished the report he was working on and went to bed without complaint.

Soundwave thought that was the end of it. Except Rodimus looked as though he barely slept. Even though He'd just taken a nap. He was still tired and kept yawning as he moved around the kitchen.

He watched confused when Rodimus didn't pick his usual blend and instead chose his energon instead. Which Rodimus had told him in the past tasted terrible.

He was about to question him about it when Rodimus looked at the time. His optics widened as he panicked a little.

"I overslept and now I'm late."

He dashed out of their room barely able to say goodbye as he went to see his Amica for their usual movie night.

He tried dismissing the thought that something was wrong. He was being paranoid and Rodimus was fine. He probably had trouble sleeping or something.

Even as he thought that. He sent a quick message to Drift asking him to keep an optic out for his Conjunx.

He decided to clean up their apartment while he waited for Rodimus wondering if he was stressed and that's why he was so tired.

He thought about having them take a much needed vacation and began looking at a time when they could take a week off.

He was distracted by Drift sending him a message asking why Rodimus was so tired. He told him that he's been unusually tired for a while now and that he took a nap earlier that day.

Now that Drift was noticing it as well. He was sure something was wrong and thought about having Rodimus see Ratchet.

Rodimus ended up coming home a lot earlier than usual and looked drained. He'd immediately climbed into bed and fallen asleep.

He tried sleeping as well but he couldn't. Every time he tried he'd have nightmares about something being wrong with Rodimus.

He laid in bed watching Rodimus sleep and trying to reassure himself that he was mostly fine.

He wrapped his arms around Rodimus and pulled him closer. His hands brushed against his middle section and that's when he felt it. He froze looking at Rodimus in shock when he realized what was happening.

He kissed the back of his head and pulled him closer. Even though he was excited and wanted to ask Rodimus about it he didn't want to wake him especially when he needed the rest.

He forced himself to fall asleep planning on asking Rodimus about it first thing in the morning.

part 3 of hidden frame au? rodimus and perceptor leave behind the lost light and travel through the stars, trying to find a safe place to stay. during their journey they come across soundwave, out on a personal vacation from earth and sanctuary, and he offers to help them out.

soundwave is outraged over how rodimus has been treated for simply carrying life, which he finds beautiful, and he does what he can to help them find a new place to call home. over time rodimus and soundwave fall in love, with soundwave offering to be the sire so the bitty has a complete family.

They didn't realize at the time both of them relieved they'd managed to escape. But now warnings were popping up all over the place.

"What's happening?"

The ship shuddered making a loud screeching sound and Perceptor turned to him.

"Go to the stasis chambers!"

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine I'm going to try and land our ship."

"Then I'm staying."

He went to sit next to Perceptor, almost falling when the ship jerked again.

"No. You're sparked. If we crash you'll be safer in a stasis chamber then out here."

"Then you should come with me."

"Someone needs to land the ship."

"Then I'm staying."

"Rodimus you are sparked which means you need to think about the sparkling. Just like how I'm thinking about you."

He felt tears in his optics knowing he was right. With a hand on his belly he forced himself towards the stasis pods.

Climbing inside he felt it activate just as they entered atmosphere.

Soundwave who'd been in the area enjoying his desperately needed vacation noticed something strange. He watched as a ship fell from the sky and crashed into a nearby field.

He ran over when he realized it was Cybertronian in design. The door was jammed shut and he had to force it open. Once inside he went to the pilots seat where he found a familiar Autobot.

Perceptor laid across the console and was unconscious but mostly okay. He went to pull him out of the wreck when he smelled something that made him tense.

His head snapped over and he found himself following the scent. His spark beat rapidly in his chest because someone on the ship was sparked and he could only hope they were okay.

He followed the smell to a room that had stasis pods inside. Looking around he found Rodimus inside one and unconscious. His optics widened in shock when he realized he was a tank carrier because he thought they'd been exterminated a long time ago. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen one and when he did they were being executed.

He tried to open the stasis pod and found that it was jammed. Unable to open automatically he had to force it open.

Rodimus fell forward and he easily caught him and checked for damages. Relieved when he was mostly unharmed except for a few dents and scraped paint. He searched the rest of the ship and didn't find anyone else.

Realizing there was no sire onboard he felt angry when he realized they'd likely abandoned him. He thought it was disgusting that someone could abandon their mate and sparkling.

He took Rodimus and Perceptor to his ship. Deciding to end his vacation early and go back home, so the two could get proper medical attention.

Noticing Perceptor waking up. He turned towards the scientist who glared at him while trying to protect Rodimus.

"I'm not going to hurt either of you."

He reassured.

"Where are we?"

"You two crash landed nearby. I found you and I'm bringing you somewhere where you can get proper medical care."

"We're fine."

Perceptor tried to grab Rodimus and he stopped him.

"No you're not and Rodimus is sparked. He and the sparkling need to be looked at."

Perceptor tensed looking nervous and he had a sinking suspicion on why their ship crashed.

"I won't hurt him I promise."

Perceptor gave him a skeptical look but so far he hasn't done anything to hurt them.

"You'll be safe at the compound."

"We're Autobots and your compound is full of Decepticons."

"Autobots have joined us. You are not the only ones who have been dissatisfied on Cybertron."

He could see the Autobot give him a surprised look before he quickly tried to hide it.

"Fine but I'll be watching you and the moment something goes wrong we're out of there."

"Of course."

Perceptor got up and went to check on Rodimus while he took the ship back to the compound he led. When they got there some of his high command gave him curious looks.

"Back from your vacation already?"

"You're supposed to be gone longer."

One of them accused.

"You need a break Soundwave you know what the medic said."

"There was an emergency. I found a crashed ship with two Autobots one of them is sparked."

Immediately everyone snapped into action and a medic was called. They took Rodimus and Perceptor to the medbay where they were both looked over.

Rodimus was fine. His body was still unconscious from the stasis pod. Which had knocked him deeper unconscious when the ship crashed to protect him.

Perceptor was fine besides his arm being injured and hovered around Rodimus, waiting for him to wake up and wearily watching the people around him.

It was obvious to everyone what happened and they gave the two of them space.

He stayed as well watching over the two of them and making sure they were safe. He knew no one would hurt them but he just wanted to make sure.

Inside he was fuming with rage and if he ever met the sires he'd punch them in the face and then attack the rest of the Lost Light. He knew Megatron had fallen but he didn't realize how far.

Staying hidden in the shadows he continued watching the two mechs waiting for Rodimus to wake up. Watching him sleep he decided to help Rodimus anyway he could.

Rodimus and his sparkling would be safe there. He would do everything in his power to make sure they felt safe and welcomed. He didn't deserve to go through this and he never wanted him to experience the pain his crew and the sires of his sparkling put him through ever again.
