Rodimus Getting More Comfortable With Having His Audial Implants Out Now That Ratchet And Drift Know.

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.

Day 5: wet and messy

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.

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.

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.

More soundwave and hot rod cause I say so
