Summary
He stepped on the lift and let it start rising, his needles extending out on reflex. He barely even acknowledged the sound they made, so focused on the closing distance between him and Overlord as he was. There wasn't even a slight tremor in his servos when he lifted them up, angled over the Decepticon's neck till he had it just right.
This could be the injection that killed him, the live reading that would gain everyone nothing but two corpses to get rid of. Would Rewind take time to mourn? Would anyone? He shut down the thought quickly, taking several deep vents to calm his rattling systems. The thought of Rewind on his own—abandoned by not one ,but two partners—was almost enough to make Chromedome get off of Overlord, retract his needles, and go back to their shared hab suite.
Almost.
But almost was not good enough.

“At least they aren’t tiny little wannabe kazoos–“
”Wannabe kazoos?!”
Their voices were akin to sandpaper scraping in his ears, and he couldn’t tell whether he would snap or splinter when it finally wore him down. He placed the mug down by the sink and winced at the loud clunk it made when it hit the surface. Jon felt their gaze shift his way almost immediately.
“O-Oh, Jon, I– um. Are you ok–“
“Penne or angel hair noodles?”
----
Jon is having a typical work day, but that nothing a good bowl of noodles can't fix, right?

Summary
He stole another quick look at Martin, unsurprised but worried to see a blank face greeting him, Martin just barely making sure to keep one foot in front of the other without tripping. A rope of anxiety tightened around his lungs, a moment of uncertainty overcoming him as he rattled his brain for what to do. It didn’t even occur to him that his hand had been moving until he felt his knuckles brush up against Martin's hand, and he immediately drew it back to his side, searching for any reaction from the silent figure. Still nothing. He had half a mind to just weave his fingers together and call it a day, but his chest squeezed, so his hand stayed right where it was. He would not ruin this yet.
“S-so uh.. What all are we getting again?” Jon turned his head to Martin, dutifully putting his hands into his jacket pockets. Maybe then his mind would stop chasing him like a greyhound with the idea he would only semi-indulge.

It was rare that Riyo ever saw Thire truly relaxed.
So maybe she can let him rest for a little while and ignore their responsibilities for even just a few minutes

Summary
“Your comm link,” Blaster says, holding out a servo as if expecting Soundwave to physically give him a solidified version of his comm link. “We can’t just go about without communication. We’re communication bots, Soundwave. Come on now, get with the program before I change the channel.”
.
.
or; Soundwave is stuck on a ship without a working engine. Blaster is also stuck in a ship without a working engine. The ship that Soundwave is stuck on is the the same ship Blaster is stuck on. It's the same ship. They are stuck in the same damned ship. Soundwave wonders what will win; the urge to fry Blaster's circuits - method of madness pending - or the need to eject himself out of the airlock.Bookmarked by Lightning_InA_Bottle

Summary
There is something wrong with you.
Threads of something weaving amidst the aches of your body and mind. But a stream grows into a river, slowly, and those threads become discernible against everything else. It isn't an ache, to your own surprise, yet in that same light, it’s unfamiliar – and you don’t know what to do with it.
The door shuts behind you and you let yourself crash into your bed. The thread is wound around your mind, your chest. Not a string but a ribbon. You realise what this means.
You hope that you’re wrong.

Summary
Fine. He could run a quick bath, change clothes, then clean up the kitchen before returning to his friend’s side with nothing to signify his absence other than the faint smell of soap.
So…why did everything in him recoil at the thought? Why did the mere notion of eyeing his naked body in the mirror and feeling it move under his palms make him want to retch? Why hadn’t the fucking walk cleared his head like it was supposed to? And now he was just causing more of a mess wherever he went, just like he always did because he could never be fucking grateful for what he had, what Arthur had given him, what—
“I could wash them for you.”
John’s brain barely registered the offer, much less the subject. “What?” He was becoming a fucking broken record.
“Your feet,” Oscar clarified. “I don’t mind washing them. If you want me to, that is."
.
.

John returns home in the dead of night to find some unexpected company.Bookmarked by Lightning_InA_Bottle
