Electr1z!

You and Soundwave are such close friends that you slowly turned into lovers without realizing it.

Back then, when you were a new candidate on the ship, you had no idea what you were doing. Bots would be mad at you for your clumsiness and your lack of skills in combat. Once, Megatron even confronted you and threatened to extinguish your spark by himself if you kept being useless for the Decepticons' cause. You really tried your best, you did, but to no avail.

Luckily, you were tasked to do something that you didn't know your capable of. Computers. Turns out, you were pretty great at it than anything else. Having such great performance on computers, you were promoted to become Soundwave's apprentice.

It was really awkward working with him for the first time, but you figured it's best to just mind your own business and approach him if necessary.

You adore his little minicons, they always approach you when they are bored enough with Soundwave. Though, Soundwave isn't fond of you, he cares his minicons and let them interact with you. Because of that, it somehow creates a connection between you and him.

Day after day, Mission after mission, both of you slowly grow a bond between each other. It's noticeable that Soundwave often interacts with you. And you often interact with him.

When most of his mincons died only leaving Laserbeak, he was devastated. Like usual, he show no emotion nor expression about his grief. Somehow, under that mask, you saw beyond it. You comforts him and share your grief together.

And thats what he liked about you.

You always knew what he feels even though he isn't showing any emontions, expressions or spoke any words.

Since that day, he no longer sees you as an ally but rather, a friend. How he feels towards his minicons is how he feels towards you.

. . .

On earth, you were fascinated about it's cultures, especially their music. Soundwave isn't interested in what Earth has to offer, but he gladly listens to you rambling about it. Like songs, you would make him listen to different kind songs together, as you talk about the history of the song, the singer, et cetera.

Even though he doesn't particularly like some of it, he still listens to it.

You had this one song that you kept telling Soundwave that it's the best, greatest thing you ever listen to. Humming the song while working, and repeatedly listening it with him.

He asked you why you like it so much, and you answered,

"Well, It kind of reminds me of us!" You smiled. He shook his head and continues to working.

He thought it was ridiculous, and yet, he started listen to the song too.

Both of your bonds are strong, just like Soundwave with his minicons back then. Starscream never really dare to mess with you, Knockout treated you well, and Megatron, he respects you more like Soundwave. After all, he wants his favourite third in command happy.

. . .

Remember when i told you, you lack of skills in combat?

Yeah, well.. you were on a mission to retrieve a relic. But due to you having lack of skills in combat, your chances of surviving a fight are very low.

You tried your best to fend off the Autobots, but in the end, a fatal blow hits your stomach, leaving you laying there on the medical berth helplessly as Knockout tried to save you from the blow. Despite Knockout being a professional medical expert, the wounds are too fatal and you can't be saved.

Even though Soundwave isn't there in the medical suite, he could hear your labored breath as it slowly died down, with you grunting with pain as you call for his name weakly before you everything stops. Your breathing, movement, and the light from your frame fade away.

He just stood there in front of the computer digits coming to a halt as he thinks about what he just hear.

You called his name, but he didn't respond back.

He just kept typing away at the keyboards while he listen to your final moments.

He could've called your name back, be there with you in the medical suite. Comfort your scared spark while holding his hand

But no, he just kept doing his work, typing away while you were dying.

Now, he regrets it. It's all his fault, he couldn't do better to you while you did better to him.

And he carries that burden onto his back.

. . .

Now, with you gone, he couldn't help but remember the things you did with him.

Those sweet memories you created in his head, now lingers with a sense of guilt.

The others on the Nemesis could notice that he acted weird after your passing. Often staring where you would stand, beside him. When alone, he sometimes listens to the songs that you used to hear with him. As if.. he's imagining that you are still there with him. Maybe he should've confessed to you that day. Now he has to bear the burden in silence . . . . You guys were more than friends, weren't you?
