Welp.

The loss of a history, the loss of his hopes that maybe they’d reconnect, the loss of someone who shared your pain even if you never truly talked about it. God forbid someone offer Optimus Sentinel’s former role as sub-commander or as Magnus because it’s going to feel like the cruelest joke the universe could ever play on him—“Here’s your dream, don’t mind that it was just pried from the cold hand of your buddy’s sparkless husk, after all, you wanted to be Magnus right?”

It’s mostly normal stuff (comments about stuff on tv, bothering Optimus about then fixing their living room, etc…) and then there some very cute pictures of his junxie that Optimus is definitely saving. Untillllll Sentinel decides to get cheeky and send a much more riskier photo along with some teasing. Optimus tries not to react as he looks at the photo of his very pregnant mate’s heavy stomach, plush thighs, and incredibly wet valve but he can already feel himself hardening behind his panel just thinking about what he would do if he was home with him instead of stuck at work.

Sentinel keeps sending him more and more pictures and teasing and flirting with him until finally Optimus is forced to hide out in the restroom to take care of his arousal. He sends Sentinel a picture of his spike and suddenly he’s getting a call.

He can hear the wet squelch of Sentinel playing with himself from the moment the call starts, followed by Sentinel complaining about his absence. He misses Optimus so much, his back and struts hurt, he wants Optimus so badly—including inside him. And Allspark would Optimus love to be home with him and touching him instead of hiding out in a stall and jerking off to his mate’s moans.

They coax each other through an overload amongst pictures and whimpers before Optimus promises him that he’ll be home soon to make things better, properly.

“You better…” Sentinel mumbles, clearly already growing tired. Optimus tells him he loves him before he hangs up.

He cleans up and leaves, sending a message to Rodimus Magnus that he’s been request for at home and tries to ignore the flush when Rodimus texts back.
