i'm stronger when you're near me.

if they want to get to you, they'll have to get through me first.

i can't be expected to do this without you.

whatever happens, i'm right here beside you.

you're important to me. maybe you don't realize just how important.

[name], it's you. it's always been you.

don't make me beg you to stay, because i will.

i don't like sleeping alone.

i'm going to hold your hand and i won't let go.

the bed is cold when you're not here.

i always feel better when you're near me. i smile more.

you have no idea what you mean to me.

if you left me, i don't know what i would do.

it would be better if you stayed beside me.

you won't be alone through this. i'll be right here the whole time.

will you stay up with me and keep me company?

i really can't deal with this alone.

would you hold my hand for a while?

we're a team. we can't do anything without each other.

you're the only one who has ever understood me.

no one else gets me like you do.

it's really nice having you close by.

thank you for being here when i needed you.

i can't do this alone.

i'd be better off with you, to be honest.

can you tell them we need to be together?

i won't let them separate us.

after what happened before, i can't let you out of my sight.

i'm not going to risk losing you.

maybe you don't realize how much you mean to me.

it would be better if we went together.

we would do so much better as a team.

i don't think they understand how much you mean to me.

you've always meant the world to me.

please stay close to me.

i like it when i can reach over and grab your hand.

your presence is a comfort.

i always feel reassured when i look over and see you.

never told you how much you mean to me.

they'll never understand our connection.

i'd be better off going with you.

what do you mean? of course i'm coming with you.

i don't really care what they think. i'm not letting you go alone.

you're going to need my help, and i need yours.

would it be okay if i leaned against you for a while?

you're riding with me.

i'll look after your wound.

i promise to take good care of you.

it's just us now. no one else is around.

i can't believe we spent so much time apart.

we were always made to fit together.

i think i was meant for you in some way.

i don't need anyone like i need you.

i promised i'd keep you safe, and i'm not about to break that promise anytime soon.

i don't think you realize just how much you mean to me.

i was made for you, and you were made for me.

we're a team. we're in this 'til the end.

i'm not giving up on you.

"Me n'him were runnin' backup ops, tryin t'figure out how to make an end of the war without either side losin' too bad, cause a grand conquest either way, well, that'd just lead t'the whole thing all over again, an' well...in the middle of all that, I kinda fell for these two. Look at'em though, can y'blame me?"

Jazz might actually be showing an energon flush. Just a little.

"But you knew about some of that, didn't ya? I mean...you were kinda in on it. Because by the time it got to this state, Megatron weren't no better than Prowl, and I know y'know it. But it's good to be back on the same side's you, that's for sure. Missed y'somethin' fierce."

He presses his helm briefly to Ricochet's shoulder.

At the time of the schism, Orion--whom the elders had named the Pax--had still been saying all the right things.

Jazz hadn't really understood that he didn't know what they meant anymore.

Soundwave leans into him a little. He knows that Soundwave knows what they're thinking, even though he isn't actively listening to anyone's comms right now.

It took a long time for him to tell Soundwave this sorrow. They had lost their community and their Convoy, their kith, their traditions, their language. Iacon had been brutal, that way. Rico and Jazz had been old enough not to forget things.

::Iricoche-ben'an, I believed him when he said there was darkness in Megatron that could never be conquered. And about that at least, I'm not sure I was wrong.::

"You shouldn't discuss this out here," Soundwave says almost reflexively, "but here, we are home." He opens the door to his hab. "A bit crowded, I know. Rumble and Frenzy moved out. Sometimes Jazz sleeps in their room. You can stay there as well, if you like, Rico."

Once they're inside, he looks up at them both. "Don't forget, that as much as I love you, Jazz, and respect your work, Rico...that I'm really not one of you. I'll hear whatever you're willing to say in my presence, and I never understood why you didn't all rise up against the old order that oppressed you--but I don't have the right to know some of these things, do I? I'm not a car or a truck and I barely have wheels. I was born as a music box."

He hadn't trusted anyone very much anymore either-- especially Authority Figures. ::Least Megatron didn't support th'status quo.:: He responds finally, and then relents.

Yellow visor flickers, gaze shifting from his brother to Ravage, and he speaks aloud, expression slightly more guarded. "Don' remember everything we knew once." The darker coloured mech drawls. "But can prolly tell ya some of it. Or most o'it. Dunno."

“What are you doing?“

“No? It’s funny, isn’t it?”

“I thought you didn’t lie.“

“You forget, I love pain.”

“No, but it’s quite pressing.“

“You. Are. A Player! Own it!“

“I can arrange that, actually.“

“Playing hard to get. I like it.“

“I need to have sex with her.“

“Tell me we’re going home…”

“That’s why you’re here, right?“

“It seems obvious now, actually.“

“You can’t beat me, little demon.“

“Seriously, darling, are you well?”

“I… I’m not flustered. I’m nauseous.“

“The Q&A’s after the speech, buddy.“

“On the contrary, the fun’s just begun.”

“Where did you get this dress anyhow?“

“What in God’s name are you doing here?”

“Excuse… excuse me! Excuse me, question!“

“You’re quite adorable when you’re flustered.“

“You may think you have them, but you don’t.”

“I don’t lie. But I don’t always tell the whole truth.”

“Now you’re blushing; I’d say I’m making headway.“

“If I get an STD from this thing, I’m going to kill you.” 

“How can I be scared of something I don’t believe in?“

“Oh, it was left behind by my one of my ‘overnight guests’.”

“It seems obvious now, actually… I need to have sex with her.”

“Why do humans think they can rectify one evil with another?“

“What if you have all those manly whatnots and the woman still doesn’t respond?“

“There are several lovely ladies milling around out there. Which one do you desire?”

“People don’t have power over us. We give it to them. You have to take your power back.“

"Oh. Oh slag... be right back!"

He slipped off the bench, darting into a nearby alley. There was a slew of unpleasant sounds from there. Someone had tried too much for their own tank to hold.

Slick returned a couple of minutes later, wobbling unsteadily, faceplates flushed and staring at the ground. He could not believe he'd wasted all that good energon! What a slagging idiot!

He glanced sheepishly at the other bot.

Huh. Figured you were an Autobot.
