Assignments (Tfp Soundwave x Reader)

Shooting a gun was easy. Hitting an Autobot target from 100m was a piece of cake. This drawing however was utterly and unbelievably impossible.

“UGH!” You shouted in frustration, standing up from your usual place on Soundwave’s work console and throwing the note book that was previously on your knee half way across the room. You grabbed your gun next and placed three firm shots into the leather-bound book. Soundwave had heard the ordeal an only turned to you with the blank mask of his visor. “There is no way you can draw that bloody bird!” You huffed before slumping back down again.

“I find drawing calming.” Came the sound of your own voice from Soundwave who had sieved through many recordings of you to find the perfect one to match the situation. Damn that Con was seriously creepy. Maybe that’s why you got along with him so well.

“Yeah well that one isn’t,” Sighing, you turned to face him with your legs crossed. “For our essay we have to draw a figure of a Scarlet Macaw to explain its colour adaptation and, as you know, I can’t draw anything unless its sitting in front of me.” You paused then, allowing Soundwave to nod in order to show he was still listening. He was always listening though, you sometimes had to remind yourself that when you were sleeping in the hab suite next to him. “So how in the hell am I meant to draw the stupid bird!” Once again, your voice raised past your normal level as you continued to scream into your hands before lying back on the control unit, your hands still covering your face.

It was so frustrating at times. Every day you would wake up in a mechanical floating ship surrounded by robotic figures, go to university lectures then come back to the ship and kick some Autobot ass if needed. You honestly had no idea how you became part of the team, it happened so fast that it almost felt like whiplash when you thought about it. Soundwave was your partner, for the first few months he had been your protector against some of the drones and higher ranked officers however when you were given a gun and proceeded to shoot Starscream repeatedly he decided you could handle yourself. Nonetheless you still stayed with him at most times. When he was working, you would sit on his console and do some University work, when you were bed bound with stomach aches or the flu he checked up on you every hour. As you carried on thinking about the mysterious mech you felt metallic claws wrap around your wrists to pry them from your pouting face. He was hovering above you of course, his tentacles firmly around your hands as a pout emoji showed on his visor, obviously in mocking.

“That’s not funny.” You spoke sternly. He released your hands and you crossed them over your chest.

“That’s not funny.” He played back causing you to look at him with a glare. The image of his visor went blank for a moment before a picture of a Scarlet Macaw appeared there. It was as if he was mocking you more, even taunting you about your little outbreak. His servo raised towards his face, pointing at the picture on his visor in questioning.

“Yeah that’s the little blighter who is the bane of my existence.” You told him, moving your hand to gesture at the image. Before your hand was fully extended however, Soundwave had rose to his pedes and picked you up in his servo. Not a second later a swirling ground bridge appeared in front of the both of you which he walked thought without hesitation. Trying to ignore the momentary sickness, you looked around the new environment that you were in, seeing nothing but high trees and vines of green covering the floor and branches. “What the hell are we doing here?” You asked him angrily. You really had to get on with your assignment so being in the middle of nowhere was honestly no help to you right now.

Soundwave only mover a finger in front of his mask before silently moving into the forest, he stopped after taking two or three long steps. That was when he brought you up to the same height as his helm, all the while a finger placed in front of his mask. You turned to him ready to yell when a flash of red sped past your face. Quickly recovering, you whipped back around to follow the red blob only to see it wasn’t a blob but a bird. A Scarlet Macaw to be exact. You took a step back, awe taking over your face as you saw that there wasn’t only one of these miraculous birds but a whole flock, some flying while others were perched on nearby branches. A gasp escaped your throat as your hands came to cover your mouth, tears began to prick at your eyes as you realised what Soundwave had done for you. The Mech in question stayed silent as he watched you. He was recording the whole thing, zooming in on your face of joy to see the minute changes it made as your processed the thoughts in your head. He decided he liked the face you were making, this will be the picture he uses to remind him of your happiest times. Primus knows that when you are in a war happy times are few and far between.

“Soundwave,” You hiccupped with watery eyes before running over to the Cons visor and firmly planting yourself against it, yours arms coming up in a way to hug the visor. Soundwave wasn’t expecting this, it was quite a shock to have your frame fully envelope his optics but he wasn’t going to complain. You were warm and squishy, it was nice to feel such contact from you. “Thank you so much, it means a lot.” Against his better judgement, Soundwave decided to respond in kind.

“Thanks, unneeded. You are welcome.” It had been too long since he had used his own voice making it scratchy in parts but you didn’t care, you were to overwhelmed at the fact that he actually spoke to care about the quality. You wanted to hear him speak again, you marked it in your head as a mission as you stepped away from him, wiping the tears from your eyes.

“Right, let’s draw these suckers.”

“Bee, do you see anything?” Arcee asked the scout next to her as the traipsed through the rainforest undergrowth. The autobots had caught signal of a ground bridge being used in the area, the two stealth bots offered to go and check it out yet had found nothing. Bee sounded something in response before grabbing hold of Arcee and pulling her back. The yellow bot pointed to something in front of her.

The two silently moved a bit closer until the image before them came in to focus. Soundwave was in the middle of the rainforest, leaning against the tree while the Con pet was sat patiently in his servo surrounded by a bunch of red birds. The two watched as a bird came to land on the tip of Soundwave’s visor making the human chuckled with laughter.

“They seem to like you Soundwave, maybe we should take one home as a friend for Laserbeak.” The human spoke in an amused tone as Soundwave carefully shooed the bird away with one of his tentacles. Another tentacle playfully wrapped around the human’s waist, constricting slightly as it pulled the fleshy being towards Soundwave’s visor the nuzzled against the humans back. “Hey stop, you’re freezing.” The fleshy gasped, trying to escape from Soundwave who effortlessly dragged them back whenever they moved away.

Bee looked to Arcee with a few concerned beeps. Arcee pulled her optics away from the scene in front of her with a slight rise in colour of her cheeks. She felt that she had stumbled upon a moment that she should had seen.

“Urm, let’s not tell anyone okay?” Arcee asked before Bee sounded.

“Yeah that’s probably best, who knew Soundy could be so caring?”
