MECHA PILOT JAZZ AU, pet edition
Ok so the discord server in in has been going ham with the idea that Jazz gets mistaken as an organic pet, and of course who happens to have an organic pet? Prowl! He has green, and thus we have decided to do the funny.
Jazz gets adopted like a feral cat, Prowl does not know he is sentient, he just sees a tiny little creature who needs help and helps. It takes a lot of treats, and sitting around in the same room, but eventually Prowl moves Jazz into Green's old enclosure. Where he spends a while fine tuning air, and then figuring out what he eats.
Jazz during this time has been escaping, going back to Bebop (his mech, who is semi sentient because why not) and basically has been living a double life. He is a lot more trusting of Prowl because he watches how careful he is when handling him and Green.
Prowl takes Jazz to the vet, thinking that his pet is just a rare species, not sentient nor the new empurata victim he picked up on a mission gone wrong.
Prowl takes it super seriously and has a fancy carrier for him, jazz almost doesn't want to go in but his curiosity gets the better of him, and his the pile of treats within. Though he has Bebop trail Prowl on his way out. Turns out having no EMF and having padded feet make him incredibly hard to track.
The vets r confused because they have never seen a human, (thinking they are about minicon sized, and organic) and so they start running tests.
Jazz refuses to let them poke him, and he stays firmly in Prowl's hands for most of it.
One of the vets starts getting weirded out and calls for a sapience test, they give him buttons and try and show him how they relate to asking for things, or identifying things.
They give him yes and no buttons, he is confused because they r speaking a diff language.
Eventually prowl says something and as usual Jazz snaps toward him, the vet who called for the check decides to have Prowl try and explain it. To which Jazz immediately gets it because he can hear just enough of neocybex to decode it when human.
Prowl is horrified that he has been keeping a sentient like a pet, to which Jazz immediately uses the buttons (and the extra that the vets r giving him) to tell Prowl to come closer, huffing loudly and smacking the yes button when Prowl refuses.
When Prowl finally gets down Jazz hugs his faceplate, imitating a purr as best he can.
Before tapping the yes buttons a few more times,
Jazz also comes clean that he is a pilot, after a but of messing around with finding the word Jazz is able to communicate that he lied, and there was a miscommunication. Prowl is concerned, until Jazz makes him kneel so his face is on the exam table, and Jazz gets to yell "prowler!" As loud as he wants. Because thats the nickname he gave when in jaeger because he couldn't make his speakers make neocybex yet.
Prowl is shooketh. Because wtf his new pet of unknown species is the originally though to be a super advanced combat drone, that everyone now assumes is a horrifying example of quintesson science, who he has also been planning to court. The situation is almost enough to make him crash, but so many of his logic trees complete at once that it gets staved off.
Jazz is still holding his face, still staring up at him through a semi transparent visor, with what is clearly a grin.
They keep talking, and Jazz is getting happier and happier because whooo boy is this proof Prowl cares for him. To the point he can't help but bounce a bit on the spot, which gets logged as an extreme happy gesture by Prowl, who is now enamoured at how Jazz's mannerisms as a jaeger translate into his true form.
