Knockout/soundwave - Tumblr Posts
As everyone knows, tfp Soundwave is touch-starved. It’s just a fact.
HOWEVER, I headcanon that during a checkup with Knockout, he’s inspecting his back wires or whatever and Soundwave can’t help leaning into his touch like a cat. He’s just not used to people being near him because everyone’s terrified of him and receiving physical contact is such an AMAZING feeling.
Knockout realizes this and decides to give him a back massage and Soundwave just melts. It now becomes a weekly thing where Soundwave visits Knockout for cuddles and massages😌
Okay- I totally agree that Soundy is touch staved, and I gotta ask-
During one of these sessions, does Soundy purr?
If yes, did Knockout know about it previously? Is Soundwave embarrassed about it? What’s Knockout’s opinion? Does Soundwave do it while awake, or has he fallen asleep/into recharge and done it?
Oh also, do they watch movies? Lmao
Yes, yes, yes, yes,yesyesyesyes-
I absolutely ADORE the idea of Soundy purring!!! As much as I love it though, he doesn’t purr when he’s awake. He refuses. But unconscious...
It’s free real estate
The first time Knockout hears him purr is his and Soundwave’s second “session” and it’s also the first time he ever saw Soundwave actually sleep(we all know Sounds would rather die than not work). The medic’s surprised since... he didn’t know Soundwave, the most terrifying deception he’s heard of, who doesn’t make a peep no matter what, can do something so ADORABLE. He wants to use this new discovery as blackmail, but he doesn’t have the spark to, especially when he looks down and sees how content Sounds is in his arms as Knockout rubs his back.
When Soundwave wakes up in the best mood he’s ever felt, the first thing he sees is Knockout’s signature smirk, and just knoooowwwssss. God, the poor boy was so embarrassed! Knockout teases him to this day about his reaction! Ever since then, Knockout’s purpose in life has been to hear Soundwave purr as much as possible! He thinks it’s the cutest thing ever, and calms his nerves after a rough day, which is a huge bonus!
And do they watch movies?! ABSOLUTELY!!! There’s a problem though; they have different tastes. Knockout likes action films, especially with cars; Soundwave like sci-fi and sciency movies. So they came up with a schedule.
Monday, Wednesday Friday, Saturday are Knockout’s pick and Soundwave has Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. It’s worked so far, so they don’t plan on changing it anytime soon.
