Being that Soundwave x Optimus stuff is thin in content.
I'm going to have my own silly little indulgent headcannons and ideas.
But the world is shit and I'm too worn out to be sensible and serious.
People talk about Orion and D16 being the reincarnations of Prima and Megatronus.
I'm going Transformers One here.
The highguard was apparently meant to be around when the primes were.
So what if Prima doted on Soundwave, like people were never sure if they were in a relationship or if Soundwave was Primas loyal guard.
(100 percent they were , Soundwave worshipped them, not as a god but a lover, but would also say his piece when needed and Prima respected Soundwave all the more for it.)
Oh how his spark broke when Prima died and there was nothing he could do to save Prima.
So imagine he sees Orion now, features unmistakable , younger obviously, colorful and so much more life.
Dare he come closer, dare he reach out to that which has been reborn there before him?
What if he doesnt need to reach?
Orion ends up finding comfort by his side, comes to find him at the end of a shift to listen to his stories and drink in knowledge.
What if Orion finds home in his presence in a way that is so easy in a way it never was with D16.
No moments of questioning himself if Dee wants him there or not.
Dee never lights up the way Soundwave does when he greets him with arms out stretched.
Soundwave comes to find while Orion has slight similarities to Prima in mannerisms, the parts, the traits he fell in love with remain, so in the end he's no longer in love with the idea of having Prima back, instead he loves the ex energon miner turned archivist who goes by the name Orion.
He loves all that Prima was and has now become. Dear sweet Orion pax who always gets energon dust on his lips when eating donuts.
Holds a stylus behind his ear finial, sings terribly in the shower when he's happy and cuddles him at any given chance.
The past is long gone but this future, their future is beautiful.
