Character Ask Game

I'm such a simp for him in general. Here we go.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

I love Roddy because he is so funny and flawed! Some versions of him I love more than others, but that all boils down to how the little details of each version of him are written. Most, if not all, versions of him are so full of passion, sarcasm, and stubbornness, and that is something I resonate with!

My number one favorite version of him is G1 (shocker, I know). G1 Roddy starts out as enthusiastic, optimistic, and potentially carefree. He's confident in his abilities and if he falls on his face, he just gets back up and hops back on the saddle of his metaphorical horse. And then he unceremoniously inherits the Matrix of Leadership and is forced to grow up. He becomes bitter, frustrated, and angsty. The falls hit him harder and he needs help getting back on that saddle.

But despite the change in his demeanor, the thing that doesn't change about him is that he sticks to his guns. If something he believes in is challenged, he's going to argue for it, even if he's wrong. That said, when he comes to realize that he's wrong, he does back down and own up to it. Which is refreshing to see. I loved watching him go through his soul-searching in Season 3, and I'm kinda bummed out that the writing for it seemed... a little rushed? Or not quite resolved?

Still, as a fic writer, I guess I should be grateful that the canon allows me to play around with how he grows as a character and resolves his inner conflicts. He is full of potential.

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

I haven't really come across any ships of him that I don't like, but I envision that he's paired with Optimus by someone, and that's really just not my thing.

When pairing characters together nowadays, I not only look at how canon has them interact, but also how their personalities would potentially mesh with each other. It's how I come up with so many rarepairs, such as Misfire/Grapple. No canon interaction whatsoever, but their personalities would balance each other out and make for some fun times.

Disregarding the fact that canon shows Optimus being a sort of hero-figure Roddy looks up to and strives to be, I just don't see Optimus and Roddy's personalities meshing well. They're too similar. And I'm well aware that like-minded people can be attracted to each other. My husband and I are in that pool. But I mean there wouldn't be much balance in the relationship. It's about the give-and-take system.

Talking about this ship from the G1 side of things, they have similar views and core beliefs, they have similar methods of handling problems, and they have similar ways of thinking. Roddy is just a younger Optimus. And I'm sure that they have a great platonic relationship.

But I think that Roddy's energy and lack of experience would make Optimus tired. And while the older mech can be patient, one can only handle so much. He's the leader of an entire army and if he was alive to win the war, he would have had to take up the mantel of getting Cybertron back on its feet. He would need someone experienced and a little lower-maintenanced to help him keep from burning himself out.

Roddy tends to be higher-maintenance and runs into trouble more often than he keeps away from it. I do think that he can benefit from having a low-maintenance and patient partner, but I can't see it being Optimus because he doesn't get much out of the relationship in return.

So that's the method behind my madness. ...But also for simplicity's sake, I just don't see Roddy being romantically interested in the hero he looks up to.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

I have so many~ But I will reduce it to two.

Top pic just looks like Galvatron is struggling with ballroom dancing.

Bottom pic is so wholesome and precious and I just melt~

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Glad you asked~ Recently I've been having a lot of fun comparing Genshin Impact characters to Transformers characters, and the one that matches Roddy the most is Navia. Both have hidden guns, both are stylish, both are determined, energetic, and have conviction, they're both extroverted, and a bunch of other small details that I have fun going through.

Jackson Lamb in season three.

I just finished my rewatch of the third season for a fanfic I'm thinking about. And I can't stop thinking about Lamb and his whole reaction to Standish's kidnapping.

Lamb is the first to realize that Standish didn't show up for work, and he quickly understands that this means something bad happened, because she never arrives late without warning, nor does her cell phone run out of battery, nor does she take the tube to come. He is worried, even angry at River for not following Donovan when he bumped into him the previous afternoon. (Although it is normal for him to get angry with River, in this case it is more exaggerated than normal, how would River know that they wanted to kidnap Catherine)

Throughout the season Lamb is violent about getting Catherine back, from the first moment when River doesn't dare to tell him that he saw Donovan before and Lamb says:

Or when Louisa calls him to tell him that everything indicates that Catherine was kidnapped, she asks why anyone would do that, and Lamb responds:

And when they release River, he asks him what you would have done if you got this photo and he says:

There's a great moment where he and Chapman are in the laundromat, Chapman offers him a drink and Lamb declines.

Chapman's face when he tell him that they took Standish seems perfect to me, because he knows Lamb, he knows how he defends his people, and, of all his people, they took Catherine. This is big. Catherine is not just anyone.

Then, when he discovers that Catherine is not in real danger, he is visibly calmer, at least for a few minutes, until he discovers that the Tiger Team has revealed itself and now Catherine really is a hostage.

We have that great moment where he gets into Sly's car and then into Judd's lunch. He is so angry that he talks to more and more powerful people until someone brings Standish back to him. But that doesn't happen and he has to go look for her himself. Thanks to the help of Standish herself, who pointed to the wall in her kidnapped photo, Roddy is able to discover where they are keeping her locked up.

So Lamb spends all day doing everything he can to get to Standish back. And he himself is going to rescue her

And he arrives and she's sitting there playing scrabble. After he home-aloneing the house and getting out of there, comes the big fight and the big reveal.

When they are in the car with Standish, just before the fight at the gas station starts, she talks to Roddy and tells him that she knows how to read people and Lamb makes fun of her. (referring to how he has no idea what Charles did)

When they park at the station, Lamb is upset, not angry, he's not yelling like he usually does, but instead he's silent, which is why she says he never wants to talk about anything.

I think Lamb is upset because he spent all day trying to find her but when he gets there she only talks about Charles. And I understand that he hates Charles, the man betrayed them and because of him his companions died. But you have to understand that Catherine doesn't know anything about that, in her eyes he is the perfect man who extended a hand to her when everyone abandoned her.

Catherine has no idea that Charles was worse than Ingrid or Diana, for her he was an honorable man, and Lamb hates that, he hates that she has him on a pedestal, so, knowing that he is going to hurt her, he tells her the truth that he had been hiding from her for years. And not only does he tell her that Charles betrayed them all, but he also used her.

Also, it really bothers him that she says Charles was an honorable man, because he wasn't. And Lamb may be many things but he truly has honor, he will never betray his people, and he would do whatever is necessary to save them.

So, in my opinion, Lamb didn't think about it, not really, he was tired, he was angry with Charles's betrayal and with Standish for admiring him so much, that he needed to break that illusion in her. I think at the end of the day he regrets doing it. He really does, as he tells Judd, Standish runs my diary, now I don't know what he'll do without her. He did everything to find her and when he finds her, he loses her.

Special mention for Marcus saying what we all think:

begging for a river cartwright bf headcannons🙏🙏

River Cartwright as a boyfriend

I am so sorry this took my ages, darling 😓 Uni and family stuff made complicated to post for the last months. But now that I am back there is nothing that can stop from writing something for one of my fave losers (affectionately). Without further ado, let's go! 🫶🏼

Masterlist Characters I write for

Okay, this man lives for his shitty job. He hates Lamb and the Slough House with all his heart, yet he would never leave it for anything in this world as he needs them to get his career back on the right path and secretly cares about his co-workers there. Being a spy is literally in his DNA and through the seasons we learn that he is indeed a workaholic. With that being told opportunities to date are few, he does not have the time or the interest to look for a partner rn

So that the situation would be that you both met at Slough House where you ended because you fucked it up and were forced to share office with him. Reluctantly you had to adapt to each other. First of all, you thought you had few things in common: being in a place neither of you wanted and feeling like completely losers. But in a job like that with little to no ways to lose time one afternoon you started to chat in hopes that the hours would run faster. To your surprise they did

First weeks were not much different from the usual, tired “Good Morning” 's and “Goodbye” 's which weren’t good at all, exchanging papers, offering to make a cup of coffee for other when needed… Yeah, he did not give much of thought to your bond. There was no need, you were another co-worker. One much less annoying than Roddy, and in fact prettier and kinder than Shirley. But a co-worker nevertheless

Under that annoyed and tired facade, River is quite nice. Pretty intelligent and can keep a sarcastic banter although impatient and impulsive as you later found out in a mission you worked together. In so told mission you ran into Duffy and his dogs, which left River with a bloodied nose, a purple eye, and nasty cuts. He claimed to be fine and able to handle them on his own but as he nearly fell on the floor while trying to stand up you insisted on helping him

And there you were, with him sitting on your desk hissing like a kid being scolded for scratching his knee and you patching him up. Between "I told you we should have asked Shirley to back-up up", "I said we did not have time to wait for here" and other various reproaches you found his gaze casually drifting to your lips too many times to keep playing obvious. So, you went for it. Soft at first, slightly hesitant he thought, before parting away scared you had messed up again

Your doubts were quickly erased by a smirk and his response, more needy and equally sweet, that soon followed after. It was like walking on a tightrope, the thrill of it but also the feeling in your gut that you could fall in any given moment. It felt good… the best, whether it was because he hadn’t kissed someone for longer that he would like to admit or because he truly liked you was a question for another night. At that moment he did not need answers, but somebody to hold and feel alive once again. A night to forget all his past mistakes. So, he lost himself on your touch and your care

-But this is River Cartwright who we are talking about. He would rather get stabbed (again) than talking with his feelings to anyone. The following days and weeks he acts like nothing has happened and you are too proud and hurt to bring it up. It takes another case, and a bullet nearly ending with your life for him to gather the courage to be honest with himself. He is not good with words, so he does not say anything, just holds your hand in the hospital’s bed while trying to plan how to proceed

However, after nights of losing sleep when you finally wake up all intentions fade to nothing. Instead, he wraps his arms around your neck and whispers softly but seriously “Don’t you ever scare me like that again” You can’t help smiling and the moment he parts away realizing the rush of his actions you feel his gaze on your lips. A nod is the only confirmation he needs before making the move for you to forgive him

Let’s be honest, he is not the most “boyfriend material” person you have met. Reckless, stubborn, impulsive… But also, caring and sweet when he wants to so he makes up for it. His love language is probably acts of service and quality time, but he won’t say no to a couple of hugs and kisses (his childhood made him kind of touch starved)

 Your work does not give you much spare time, but he swears he will redeem himself once you are both out of that hell hole giving you the life and treatment you deserve. Meanwhile you are just happy to clean him up after he returns mostly safe and sound from mission and to have him snoring on your bed because that means he actually trusts you enough to rest by your side

Hope you are better

You could continue the au where Roddy is a mer that his owners want him to have babies but they don't want it to be with a couple so Roddy stays beautiful and they can show him off.

It could be something like Roddy in the absence of his mate and the depression that caused him to start losing his colors because he got sick from loneliness and his owners first try to get him healed, but when he doesn't get better they throw him away. He should be rescued by an aquarium that has a sanctuary of mers that were in captivity. He may find friends there to help him, but whoever saved him (perhaps Ratchet or Perceptor) may look for his mate because he could inevitably die if he remains separated from Soundwave.

I love the drama and You have de touch to write it <3

His owners banged on the glass and he moaned feeling a headache form. His whole body hurt as he laid there wrapping his tail around himself.

He was exhausted and couldn't do anything except sleep. Outside his tank he could hear his master's talking obviously unhappy.

They couldn't shock him because they didn't want to risk the pups he was carrying. The thought made him unbearably sad and he felt like crying because he didn't have a mate.

He was all alone and he didn't want to be alone anymore he wanted his mate. He sobbed uncontrollably calling out for someone who couldn't answer.

Pharma ended up being called and roughly looked him over. Even though he was carrying pups he'd lost weight from not eating. His once vibrant colors were slowly turning gray as he refused to take care of himself. Unable to live without his mate.

Mers swam in pods because they were social creatures. When they mated with someone it was for life and if something happens to their mate they oftentimes don't survive.

Pharma looked irritated as he checked him over and then told his mater's the news. Neither of them looked happy and he found himself listening in.

The facility that was keeping his mate had been seized. The mers had been taken and Pharma couldn't get him.

When he heard this he sobbed and refused to do anything just wanting to die. He didn't care anymore and was tired of living. All he wanted was his mate and now he'd never get him.

His master's were angry by this change and no amount of banging on the glass or threatening could make him do anything.

They were disgusted by how he looked. Instead of the pretty multicolored mer they used to have. They now had a scraggly looking mess who was an ugly gray color.

Whenever they saw him they sneered obviously unhappy with his appearance and wanting Pharma to do something.

The doctor of course informed them there was nothing he could do. Without his mate he was going to die and they might as well get rid of him.

His master's decided to do exactly that and ended up dumping him somewhere. It was a shady facility where the water was always dirty and the mers were starved. None of them said anything too exhausted and sick all of them looking about ready to die with their dull colors.

Then one day police came and the mers were transported to different facilities. He didn't care and just laid there not doing anything as he was loaded up. He was so exhausted and he just wanted to die.

He was introduced to a man named Ratchet who looked him over. Unlike with Pharma his checkup didn't hurt.

When Ratchet realized he was sparked he looked worried and decided to closely monitor him. The facility he was inside was a lot nicer and he had more freedom. The people who worked there treated all of them with respect and no one ever hurt him.

Even though life was better he continued to lay on the floor refusing to move. He barely ate only eating when Ratchet made him as he waited to die. He wanted his mate so badly and he continued crying out for him.

Ratchet and some of the others tried asking questions. All of them thought his mate was dead until he informed them that they'd never even met. He didn't even know his mates name and the only thing he had to remember him by was his pups and his smell.

Even after everything he was determined to remember that much. Just in case they ever had the chance to meet. Even though he knew it was unlikely.

The workers at the facility though seemed determined to help him find his mate something that gave him hope and made him try to live. Which made Ratchet happy.

He didn't know how long they'd been trying to find his mate but he knew his pups would be coming soon. His instincts were telling him to prepare even if it felt wrong not having his mate with him.

He should be helping him set up his nest and get everything ready for their pups. Instead he was having to do it alone and it filled him with sadness.

The staff who worked at the facility couldn't help him because they were busy getting ready for a transfer.

He was a dangerous mer who's last chance at survival was this facility, otherwise he would have to be put down. He couldn't return to the ocean after what's been done to him but he was too violent to keep at a facility. He had hurt numerous people and mers who'd gotten too close and after severely injuring someone at the last facility he was transferred here.

Finishing with his nest he found himself watching as a truck pulled up. He wasn't really paying attention and was just listening to the staff talk amongst each other in the hopes of helping him feel less alone.

The door opened and there was a shout of alarm as a mer crawled out. He looked pissed and his fangs snapped at anyone who came too close.

He watched as the mer looked around the facility and the two of them made optic contact. He froze unable to move as the two stared at each other.

His optics widened when he recognized the smell and he found himself crying out for his mate. The mer must have also realized something because he dragged himself over. Both of them were calling to each other and if it wasn't for his belly getting in the way. He would have jumped out of the tank he was inside.

Soundwave rushed forward ignoring the facilities staff as he climbed into the tank with him. He could hear people frantically talking but he didn't care.

The two of them wrapped their arms and tails around each other and he cried in his arms. The mer touched a gentle hand on his belly looking shocked and happy when he realized he was sparked.

He cuddled against him never wanting to separate from him again.

"My names Hot Rod."

"Soundwave."

His mate pulled him closer and bit down on his neck to claim him. He shivered from the pain and then moaned when warmth flooded his body.

Soundwave's spike came out and he pressed it into his leaking slit causing him to gasp. He felt him slide all the way inside and it felt like coming home.

The two of them fragged for hours and only stopped when Soundwave ended up inducing labor.

Hello! may I offer you a silly idea involving Rodimags?

Hot-Rod and Magnus had a one night stand and one day Hot-rod looks quite guilty and a bit worried when he talks with Magnus a few weeks later. Turns out Roddy is sparked. Ultra Magnus promises to love and care for the both of them no matter what.

Time passes and Roddy s sitting in the Med bay with a tired smile on his face until he sees his Sparkling for the first time. Instead of a blue speedster or a red truck his sparkling is green. He is very confused because he is 100% sure he didn't spend the night with any green Mechs or Femmes before he was sparked.

He turns to look at Magnus who has a sheepish look on his face and asks. "Mags, why is our Bitty green?"

Poor Magnus is now in a Huge Pickle.

Omg yes!

Roddy has just finished straining himself pushing out their sparkling. Delirious from emergence pain and exhaustion when he’s handed this small bitty thats green and has red optics thats crying covered in fluids nuzzling up to him when he coos at them and holds them close.

He’s so out of it all he knows is that he loves his little bitty and that this is his sparkling, his little one he emerged and grew within himself that he finally gets to meet and he’s crying so hard so filled joy and over come with emotions. That when he conks out and wakes the next morning with Magnus looking so guilty and nervous he ‘s wondering why until the nurse bot hands him his fussy sparkling that he immediately takes. He knows they’re his he can feel the spark bond that was created the moment they began to form in his tanks attached to his spark energy line.

So he knows his bitty is suckling from his nozzle getting pure energon milk when he feels something inside of him click as he gazes lovingly at his sparkling only to realize.

‘They’re not my colors…’

“Mags…whose green baby is this?”

And yeah he feels himself shake his helm and reask the question, “Magnus..why is our sparkling green?”

Aaaannnnd Magnus gets so nervous he quite literally…accidentally pops out of the Magnus armor and lands on the hospital berth on Roddy’s legs who looks completely blindsided with his optics wide open and his jaw fully slack. Servo protecting their bitty who drinks uncaring of everything going on around them. As Magnus darts his optics damn near about to combust because he thought he had more time to explain but also really hoped their sparkling took after Roddy or his armor and he wouldn’t have to.

Well..the cats out of the bag..or well..the load bearing turbo fox is anyway.

Roddy..does not judge or hate him.

In fact, he’s very understanding..but he is pissed about, the bot he now knows original designation when Magnus let a good eighty percent of his secrets out to Rodimus right there on his legs, Minimus admitting to planning on never telling Rodimus the truth and wanting to die happy with the secret.

Minimus can’t lie or be cruel. Thats not what pissed Rodimus off, it upset him but it didn’t set him off.

Seeing Minimus had a larger spike on his original frame than the Magnus armor did, is what set him off and thats also how they ended up with another sparkling so soon after having their first one.

First Valentines Day | A.C.

Summary: Can I have Valentine's Day prompt 3 with Adam Cole?

One of them have never celebrated Valentines Day, so their partner tries to make it the best ever.

Find my Adam Cole Masterlist

Requested by: @adamcolesbaybay

You were dreading the fact that Valentine's Day happened to fall on a Wednesday. This was supposed to be your first real Valentine’s Day celebration. You have had boyfriends in the past, but this one was just more serious. This was an unfortunate reality of dating a wrestler.

Adam was a hot commodity after he betrayed his best friend, MJF, at World's End. The fans ate up the betrayal, and he was enjoying every second of it. Little did you know he was still thinking of surprising you.

Your dread came to a pleasant surprise the moment he asked you to accompany him to the show in Texas. Of course, you agreed. Any time you can soak up with him would be worth it.

During his segment on Dynamite, he constantly caught your eye and winked at you. His big cheesy grin plastered for the world to see. He tried to pass it off like he was happy with what was going on in the ring. You blushed, often looking away from him.

"Did you enjoy the shows?" He asked you as the two of you made it to the car.

"I'm still getting used to you in a wheelchair," you laughed. You were used to him in the crutches that he had been using to move around in for months now. "Did Roddy allow you to use that?"

"I saw the way you looked at me in the wheelchair. You were digging it," he winked. You helped him place his suitcase in the trunk of the car. He placed his crutches in the backseat and hopped to the passenger seat.

The drive to the hotel was filled with talks about the newest video games coming out. Once you parked the car at the hotel, you helped him out. A couple of fans asked for autographs in the lobby. He happily obliged. You continued towards the room, yet he called for you to wait.

A little suspicious, you waited for him to finish up with his fans. He normally allowed you to go to the room without him. The fans didn't take too much of his time. They must have been tired from the three hours of wrestling. Once they were out of ear shot, you spoke to him.

"You didn't let me go to the room without you. Do you have a surprise for me or something?" You asked and placed the room key to the lock. The lock beeped and turned green. Adam remained silent as you walked in the door.

Different colors of heart-shaped balloons took up space on the ceiling. Tea light candles lay on the floor, creating a path towards the bed. You slowly followed the path, unsure of how the man could pull all of this off.

Rose petals surrounded the bed. On the bed, roses spelled out love. Towels were shaped like swans to show them together. Two vases full of red and white roses had been placed on the nightstands. A wine chiller with your favorite wine and two crystal champagne flutes sat by one of the vases.

"I know we couldn't do much this year with my injury and work, but I wanted to spoil you," he spoke. "Happy Valentine’s Day, and thank you for everything,"

"This is beautiful," you whispered. Tears begged to fall from your eyes. "No one has ever done anything like this for me before. Thank you, Adam. I love you,"

He kissed you softly. His hands cupped your cheeks. "I'm glad you love it,"

Everybody Talks|| Love For Noella Levesque

*part of ‘Love For Noella Levesque OC World*

For weeks, all that was talked about was Noellas betrayal to her dad and the WWE. Noella took a break from her socials and went radio silent on a lot of her WWE friends. Her father called almost everyday but she just kept screening his calls.

Noella enjoyed working with AEW and Tony. Tony reminded her a lot of herself and they got a long like brother and sister. She really was enjoying herself a lot.

Then there was Max. Max and Noella kept up quite the flirtation with each other but never really making much of moves. Max was waiting for the right moment and Noella was just trying to not think about everything happening with the dirt sheets and tabloids. It was quite tiresome.

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.

Noella was sitting at production, on her phone scrolling through her socials. She hadn’t been on them in a minute and knew she would have to release some type of statement soon. Her father and the WWE have still been closed off about commenting on anything which surprised Noella, but she also knew they wanted more from Noella.

“Alright which one of them do I have to punch” Max says upon sitting down next to Noella at production. Noella looks over at him.

“Nobody Max…just thinking about releasing a statement…” Noella says. Max nods slowly.

“You don’t owe anyone anything sweetheart, you know that” Max says. Noella breathes out.

“I hate being looked at like I betrayed people Max.” Noella says with a sad tone. Max gave her a sad smile.

“I did everything for them. To make them proud and happy but nothing worked. I’m tired of it Max” Noella says looking over at max with sad eyes.

“Fuck do I know that…but sweetheart I’m proud of you and I think you’re doing amazing. You don’t owe anyone anything because you know who you are, not them.” Max says. Noella sadly smiles at max.

“Everybody talks sweetheart. Makes them feel less like losers” Max states. Noella nods agreeing.

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.

@NoellaALev: it is without malice to anyone within my family or the WWE that I left. I wanted to pursue something new and exciting. That is all.

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.

Noella sat in production watching as Max was in the ring talking. Her eyes were basically glued to the screen.

“You know you both do this thing when y’all stare at each other and it usually looks like your constipated” Austin says sitting down next to Noella. Noella looked over at him and laughed.

“You’re horrible Austin” she laughs. He shrugs.

“I’ve hung around Max to long” He chuckled out.

“Now we both know it was Riley and Roddy get out of here with your shit” Noella laughs moving his foot off her leg.

“So quick to stand up for him, you really do like him don’t you” Austin smirks. Noella rolls her eyes.

“Eat shit Jenkins. Don’t you, oh I don’t know, need to go be a supportive boyfriend to britt?” Noella sasses. Austin raises his hands in defense before standing up.

“Alright alright damn sis” Austin says turning and walking away. Noella giggled before looking back at the monitors. Max was making his way up the ramp and into the back. Noella looked over to where Max walked through and his eyes found hers. He gave her a wink and made his way over to her. She turned her chair a little and Max leaned both his hands on her arm rest and moved into her neck to give her a kiss. Once it was planted he moved out of her neck and kissed the crown of her head.

“You smell so good all the time, makes me wonder if you taste good too “ max says quietly. He quickly moves his head back into her neck and swipes his tongue over her neck, eliciting a giggle out of Noella. Max quietly groaned and pulled away. Noella pulled on Max’s scarf and held it in her hands, keeping Max close. The pair stared at each other for a moment, the air between the two becoming intense. That was until Noellas phone went off. Noella closed her eyes and slowly let go of Max’s scarf. She looked over at the table and picked up her phone and sighed. It was her dad’s bestfriend, her fake uncle, Shawn. She had screened so many of her dad’s calls that now he was resorting to Shawn, at least she thought. Max pulled at her hand and pulled her up and moved her around. He sat where she was sitting and she looked at him with question.

“Max there’s another chai-“ before she could finish her sentence, Max pulled her onto his lap and clicked the accept button on the call for her.

“I’m right here” max whispers holding onto her leg near her knee. Noella nodded and put the phone to her ear.

“Hello?” She says.

“Wow no Hi Uncle Shawn!” Shawn playfully says. Noella wants to break. Shawn was always good to her. Maxs hand soothingly moves up and down her leg.

“Sorry, hi uncle Shawn” she says.

“Hey kiddo. How’s everything?” Shawn asks.

“Is this you asking or my dad…” she sighs out. Shawn releases a breath.

“Myself. Your dad…your dad has been silent on all that’s been going on with you. Vince is on his ass but we both know it’s nothing new for him. I wanted to call to see how you were holding up. I’ve seen whats been going on. I know you Noella Ann, probably better than your father does…talk to me.” Shawn sighs out. Noella felt a tear slip down her face.

“Yea…well. I’m hanging in there…I’ve kinda been screening dad’s calls…our last conversation didn’t go great…told him to not expect me at family gatherings as I saw where I stood” Noella says chewing her lip.

“You can always come spend holidays with me kiddo. You know we love having you around.” Shawn says.

“I know, but I already told Max I’d spend it with him and Piper” Noella says looking over Max who had a smirk on his face. Noella smiles at him and looked down at his hand that was on her leg and saw his dynamite ring, max watching her. She ran her fingers over it absentmindedly as she heard Shawn chuckle through the phone.

“Ooooooohhhh I seeeeee” Shawn laughs. Noella giggles and shakes her head.

“Stop” she whines.

“So I’m assuming you really like him then” Shawn encourages. Noella looks over at Max and pokes his nose, watching him scrunch his face but a small smile trying to break through.

“Yea I think so” she smiles brightly. Max watches as her face lights up and can’t help but smile at her. She was so beautiful to him.

“Does he treat you right?” Shawn asks.

“Without a doubt” Noella says.

“Then I can’t wait to meet him” Shawn says, making Noella smile.

“I know things are rough right now but your dad does love you Noella…I gotta go, I’m guest appearing tonight, if you need anything call me.” Shawn says. Noella chews her lip nodding.

“Okay, good luck” she says.

“I love you Noella, like my own, bye” Shawn says.

“Love you too uncle Shawn, bye” Noella says and hangs up the phone, looking off at the wall. Max pats her thigh.

“Cmon sweetheart, we have a flight to catch in 2 hours” Max says looking at his wrist. Noella looked at him.

“You’re traveling with me this time not Austin and Britt” Max says helping you off his lap.

“Well okay then” Noella says. Max chuckles and grabs ahold of Noellas hand and walks to his locker room to get his bag.

[autobots-in-training]

Do ignore the other question from this account; it was my very chaotic friend. However, I do have a question for two of you and just a little thing to say to one more of you, and I do suggest not letting the others see this question. Hotshot First aid and Springer First off, this one is for first aid. I say as a medic myself quite simply that a lot of bad stuff is going to happen in the future to you and all of your fellow younglings, and you are going to lose a lot of bots under your care, but it will not be our fault, and you will become one of the best medics known to the cybertronian species, and I highly suggest you don't read this out loud to anyone else since I sound insane. Now since this "ask" just got a bit quite dark, let's lighten it a bit. Question for Hotshot: Since you are clearly aware your caretaker Optimus Prime is the greatest autobot to exist, have you ever heard of an autobot by the name of Elita-1?

Question for Springer: Since Prowl is clearly your carrier by the looks of it and just by the way you talk about him, did he ever tell you any stories and did he ever teach you anything cool?

- Medic Knockout (PS Im super srry that this is so long)

First Aid- Woah. Uh. Thanks! Are you from cybertron? I've never heard of you. I can list all the medics i know on one hand. Carrier, Lotty, Pharma, Red Alert and Hoist. Though they are all autobots, are you a neutral?

Arcee- First Aid, are you answering a question without us?

First Aid- Oh! Sorry i was just reading the question. These are for Springer and... Hot Shot? I think he meant Hot Rod. *takes a deep breath*

Arcee- Wait don't yell!-

First Aid- SPRINGS!!! RODDY!!!

Arcee- I hate you.

Springer- Hey Aid, whats up? I brought Roddy with me.

Hot Rod- Hi!

First Aid- Cool. Was your time with Hound and Mirage fun?

Hot Rod- Yeah!! Hound took us around the ship in his alt mode!

Springer- Illy got tired, so they stayed with their creators.

First Aid- Ah. Anyway, i called you guys cause you have a question each.

Springer- Nice!

Hot Rod- I wanna answer first!

First Aid- Do you know Elita?

Hot Rod- Riri talks about her sometimes. She's the autobot leader on Cybertron, since not everyone could or wanted to leave.

First Aid- Yeah, i think you were still too little when we left Cybertron to remember anything. You might have been 2-3 thousand years old when we left. Elita is basically on parr to Optimus. I watched them spar a couple times, they were 50/50 on terms of strength and skill. They were best friends too.

Hot Rod- Woaaah!!

Arcee- I was still a bit shy, so I didn't talk with her much. She was nice the times i talked with her. She's actually why i chose to be pink.

First Aid- It's terrifying sometimes. You look like you are covered in dried energon.

Arcee- Exactly.

Springer- What's my question?

First Aid- Has your carrier taught you anything or told you any stories?

Springer- About what?

First Aid- I dunno, thats just what the question is.

Springer- Hm... my riri has taught me quite a bit! I know some stuff about genetics, he knows a LOT, the study of cybertronian genetics wasn't allowed before the war, but both my carriers studied it in secret. I was actually one of their expiriments.

First Aid- Oooh, so they had you to see what traits you'd have from each of them?

Springer- Uh. Yeah. Kinda. He also tells me about my other carrier. I remember very little of him. His optics were... they were yellow. Carrier says i look a lot like my other carrier when he was younger.

Arcee- Thats really sweet!

Springer- I want to meet him again. I'm hoping he's still out there.

Arcee- When the war is over, we'll team up and look for our carriers together!

First Aid- I'l help! There's nothing we can't do when we work together!

Hot Rod- Can i come too?

First Aid- You're too little for that. And wouldn't you miss your riri?

Hot Rod- Oh... yeah :[. I'll stay then. Illy would be lonely without me too.

Springer- Wanna see your carrier now?

Hot Rod- Yeah!!

Springer- Let's go then!

(Bumblebee x Cheetor)

My headcannons! Ps, it's cyberverse and I'm sorry for the wait, I was busy and tired :((

Cheetor is an innocent babe and Bumblebee is a solider tainted by war, yes Cheetor did fight but he mostly hid the allspark with him, so he needs to hide most of the war.

When Cheetor first laid his optics on bee, he was awed, then it turn to respect then admiration and he fell in love.

As for bee, he was scared, then he was shocked and then respect turned to love.

Hot rod kept teasing bee when he found out and almost slipped when Cheetor walked in.

If someone hurts Cheetor indirectly or directly Bumblebee while personal deal with the person, first he'll talk to them if they won't stop it will be their lives at cost, Cheetor while do the same will convince them to stop or he will do something he regret.

(Bee is kinda different here in my AUs)

Bee will have flashbacks and Cheetor is the one of the persons that can calm him down.

Cheetor and bee was fighting bc bee wasn't taking care of his health and Cheetor slipped up and ran out the ark. (They're alone)

He was captured by a small group of decepticons and they put him inside of a cave and was about to message megatron (my AU is different here) but bee manage to knock them out before they could and took Cheetor on a cliffside and he apologized and confessed to Cheetor.

(Cheetor didn't die :)) the deceptions did get the allspark but wasn't successful to unleash its power and the Autobots managed to get back)

They became a couple! They didn't tell the others, everyone arebetting expect for Roddy, ratchet, optimus for different reasons.

Roddy knows, ratchet doesn't like to bet on it and thought that bee didn't have a bf and optimus was just going with his husband's opinion.

The betting was windblade, arcee and a random femme but completely forgot Cheetor XD.

Then bee announced that he was indeed courting someone and it wasn't anyone that they were betting on, ratchet, optimus, and the others we're shocked.

Roddy was shocked for a different reason, he was not expecting that bee has the guts to do it.

Cheetor and bee was almost caught kissing and cuddling by optimus and he got suspicious.

Ratchet tries to pry the answer for bee but he wouldn't budge.

Ratchet then got suspicious of Cheetor and indirectly ask him if he was seeing someone but Cheetor played dumb, so bee wouldn't be caught, he didn't like it but if bee and him was caught, he didn't know what will happen even if there's couples like them.

Their first date and kiss was on the same cliff.

Two years of courting hot rod slipped up and forgot to send a signal to bee that the others we're coming to the dinner that bee and Cheetor while on a date and was caught.

Ratchet was baffled and Cheetor and bee explained what they thought would have happened if he and bee gets caught, both thought they wouldn't approve.

Optimus and ratchet approved and so was the others.

Bee's nicknames for cheetor

My cheetah, love, dear, darling and mine.

Cheetor's nicknames for bee

My bee, honey, darling, honeybee, my love, my dearest.

Bonus:

Hot rod: Are you dating my brother?

Cheetor:...uh no *chuckles nervously*

Hot rod: uh huh? What type of bee makes honey then?

Cheetor: Uhh, a honeybee?

Bumblebee: *pops his head from a corner, smiling happily* yes darling?

Cheetor: *sweating bullets*

Hot rod: Never fragging lie to me again.

Sims 4 Fontenot Legacy - Like Old Times

As Sabrina's due date fast approaches, they're trying to take in as much time out that they can before they're busy changing diapers and cleaning barf off of themselves. Today, that meant a leisurely evening out with Lakshmi and Nyla. First, a trip to San Sequoia for a bite to eat at a local restaurant.

Lakshmi: I didn't realize your due date was that close!

Sabrina: Yeah, this little booger is just about ready to make his arrival. I can hardly believe it myself.

Nyla: Welcome to the club! It's truly life-changing.

Sabrina: I'll admit, seeing little Roddy toddling around really warmed my heart. I had never seen myself in a parent role before that moment, but suddenly I could see myself with one too. Just didn't think it would happen quite like this!

Nyla: Speaking of which... you still don't know who the father is?

Sabrina: I was with Marquise and Alton so close together... I did see a psychic though. She told me who she believes the father is. Now we'll just have to see if it's accurate.

Lakshmi: Well, we'll find out all in due time. Either way, both guys seem committed at least. They'd both seem like they'd be good parents.

Sabrina: I agree. All things considered, I'm glad that the father of my child is one of them.

The trio are served their meal and enjoy the rest of their time at the restaurant with good food, good drinks, and good company.

After an enjoyable time at the restaurant, Nyla and Lakshmi drag Sabrina to a cheesy romance film. Sabrina is pretty bored by it, but their two friends are fully engrossed. They don't mind it too much, they enjoy the time with them enough to suffer through the cheesy dialogue and poor acting. Suddenly though, another viewer returns from a bathroom break asking Sabrina what happened while they were gone. Casually, they begin to explain as quietly and briefly as possible, but an attendant catches them. The worker assumes Sabrina is being disruptive and kicks them out! Nyla and Lakshmi try to defend them, but the attendant is insistent.

Sabrina: Don't worry guys, enjoy the rest of the movie. You can tell me all about the rest later.

Nyla: You sure? We can go with you.

Sabrina: Nah, I'm getting tired anyway. Gonna call it a night.

Lakshmi: Okay, get home safe. Talk soon?

Sabrina: You know it.

So with a bright smile on their face, Sabrina heads out, destination home. Though the night didn't end the way they expected, getting into antics with their closest friends always makes Sabrina happy, and this was no exception. They can't wait to be caught up on the corny plotline of the rest of the film, but for now, it's time to head home for the night.

(and yes once again a sim has changed clothes for no reason when I wasn't paying attention shh just pretend lol)

[petitelepus]

My god the yandere bot!reader whit roddy was sooo good! Can we please have a follow up? Maybe the bot!reader confesses?

The day finally came when you couldn't wait anymore. You loved Rodimus so much it came to the point where you could not just watch him. You were tired of being nobody. You needed to talk to him and tell him how you felt!

You knew his routines like the back of your hand so you knew when to approach him. He was just heading towards the captains' meeting when you run up to him.

Rodimus took every chance he got to get out of meetings, so the two of you could catch up and enjoy energon or engex while chitchatting! You waited until he was about to walk past your hideout in the corridor and then you made your move.

"C- Captain Rodimus!" You cried out and he stopped and turned to look at you.

"Oh, hi! Uuh... Who were you again?"

You told him your name and he snapped his fingers, "Right! You were in...?"

"Head of the security!" You said with a smile and Rodimus smiled, "Right! So, how can I help you?"

"I- I have been admiring you from the distance for quite some time...! And I - I was thinking if you would like to enjoy some engex with me?"

"I never say no to engex-!"

"Great, where would you like to meet? When do you think you have time? Oh, you're heading to the meeting now, aren't you? Surely, you could skip and spend time with me? My treat, naturally, of course!"

You couldn't stop yourself from babbling and nervously wriggling your fingers. You were just so excited to finally speak with him...! But why was he looking so uncomfortable?

"We could get to know each other! I know so much about you and I'm dying to get to know you more personally?"

"Yeah..." Rodimus drawled and rubbed the back of his helm.

"Sorry, but I don't know you that well yet-!"

"That's why we should go out for a couple drinks! So we can get to know each other!"

"I would love to, but I really gotta go. I'm late from a meeting with Megatron and Magnus so...?" He smiled, "See ya sometimes later?"

And just like that, he turned and left you standing there in the corridor, alone. You watched after him, the warmth and anxiety inside your chassis were gone, replaced by a cold void.

Did you do something wrong? You had to know! You rushed to the security office and immediately turned on the camera in the meeting room. You clicked the mic on just as Rodimus entered the room.

"Sorry, I'm late! Some bot came at me on my way here. They said they have been looking at me and offered to take me out for drinks." The bright mech said as he took a seat opposite Megatron.

"Are you talking about our chief of security?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"Yeah. They are kind of weird." Rodimus blurted and Ultra Magnus scowled, "Don't speak ill about your crew! They're just doing their job!"

"It's not just that, they were acting super weird about it!" Rodimus frowned, "Like... I don't know like they are really into me?"

"Don't flatter yourself Rodimus," Megatron said and the orange bright mech frowned harder. "I'm not! It's just...! They were really into me and I don't know how to react to that. Like honestly...? It was kinda creepy."

Oh, Rodimus...! He thought you were creepy?

You took a deep breath and turned to look at the pictures of Rodimus you had hung on the walls of your office. You walked to the picture of him smiling and you felt your spark warming again.

"Oh, it's alright Roddy...!" You chuckled as you kissed his image. "You just got a little overwhelmed. Anyone could when their spark mate suddenly appeared before them!"

You smiled.

"Don't worry... I will find a way for us to be together, forever...!"

[theoceanoasis]

Dratchrod where Drift and Ratchet mention being too old for Sparklings while Rodimus barely touches his food one night while in their home. They make jokes about it and don’t pay too much mind to Rodimus not really laughing along.

As time goes on they notice Rodimus is a bit distant while also seeing that his frame has changed. His hips are wider and his tanks are growing round. He sleeps a little more and eats more too.

They ask little things like “are you okay,” and make secret faces about the fuel he consumes because they never knew Roddy to like sweet cyber fruits.

Its not until they get home from a late shift do they see Rodimus packing a bag and putting his important things in there do they block the door and rush to find out whats wrong.

Its then Rodimus tells them, “I’m leaving,” his face is empty yet so sad.

“Why?!”

“What do you mean leaving?!”

He’s their conjunx, they won’t allow him to leave.

“It’s better this way.”

“The slag it is.”

“You are not leaving us.”

There’s a long moment of high tension as the two get close to him. They’re not an arm length away when Rodimus drops his secret. He’s not afraid of being hurt physically just emotionally.

“I’m sparked.”

The silence is loud and their open jaws say a lot.

Ratchet is running a scan and Drift is feeling along Roddy’s tanks and they get the further confirmation they need.

It ends on a happy note though.

They never want rodimus to leave and they would gladly have a sparkling with roddy. They just knew their frames couldn’t handle it and they would never ask that of roddy knowing how uncomfortable he is with the subject of tank carrying.

Even though he was a little tired from being sick that morning he was hard at work making dinner. Tonight was special and he knew it would be a night they'd never forget.

He practically jumped with excitement and couldn't wait for them to arrive. He had amazing news to share with them and couldn't wait to tell them.

He tried not to be too impatient as he finished cooking and set the table. He made it look all nice and fancy wanting it to be perfect.

"What's the occasion?"

Drift wrapped his arms around him and he leaned back letting him kiss his cheek. Not wanting to give anything away he told him a half lie.

"I had time and wanted to do something special and show you two how much I love you."

Drifts face softened and he kissed him before they both turned towards the door which opened to reveal Ratchet.

He came over and kissed them both on the cheek taking in the nice dinner he gave them both a curious look.

Drift explained while the three of them sat down and started to eat. His spark was racing as he tried to figure out when the right time would be. He desperately wanted to blurt out the news but the two of them were in the middle of a conversation.

When he heard Drift mention someone on board being sparked he found his attention drawn wondering what they thought about it. He was about to ask when Ratchet snorted talking about how he was too old for a sparkling.

He felt his spark sink as he listened to them go back and forth joking about how they were too old and wouldn't have time.

With every word it felt like his spark was being stabbed and he found himself holding back tears, not wanting them to see him cry. What was once a happy moment was now ruined and he found himself panicking wondering what he was going to do now.

He wanted to keep the sparkling. From the moment he learned he was sparked he'd been so excited. He'd always wanted a sparkling and this was his chance.

If he told Ratchet and Drift they'd be upset with him and would want him to get rid of the sparkling. They'd be angry if he refused and he hid his face as a few tears fell.

Even though he loved them so much their relationship wasn't going to work out. He needed to leave now and find a way to raise his sparkling on his own.

He looked at his plate in disgust feeling sick at the very idea of eating. He moved the food around in his plate but didn't eat anything.

Ratchet and Drift didn't notice too busy talking about how much they didn't want a sparkling and stabbing the knife in further.

Having made up his mind to leave he began to distance himself. At first Drift and Ratchet didn't notice which hurt a lot even if it gave him time to get his stuff together.

He didn't want to leave but he didn't want them to resent him for choosing to keep their sparkling. He knew they wanted nothing to do with their little one and even though it hurt he had to think about his sparkling.

Looking in the mirror he noticed that his body was changing. His hips were growing wider and his belly had gotten bigger.

He only realized when Ratchet made a comment about him eating too many sweets. At the time it had felt like a slap in the face but now looking in the mirror he knew it wouldn't be long before it was obvious he was carrying. He needed to get out of there before that happened.

Even though he knew it was part of carrying he still found himself watching what he ate. He also didn't let Ratchet or Drift touch him thinking he was too disgusting to be touched and that maybe it's a good thing they didn't want the sparkling. Otherwise he'd be forced to deal with their disgust when his body started to change and they no longer felt attracted to him.

He felt tired all the time and after some pointed comments made by those around him. He started sleeping when no one was home. That way he didn't have to be criticized by those around him. He was exhausted and he couldn't help that his body needed more sleep. He didn't know why people had to immediately assume he was being lazy or disrespectful during meetings.

As time went on he knew Drift and Ratchet were catching on. They kept looking at him oddly and would share looks between the two of them they thought he didn't notice. It made him more insecure and he refused to eat in front of them. Tired of being judged for what he was eating. It wasn't his fault their sparkling was craving a very sweet mixture of energon.

When the day came for him to leave he was nervous and sad. While packing his bags he'd broken down and begun crying wishing things could be different.

He was just about to leave the apartment with his bags packed when he was stopped by Ratchet and Drift who'd come home early.

They stared at him in shock not processing what was happening until they both started shouting.

He'd flinched back refusing to look at them when he told them he was leaving.

They both gave him a shocked look and Ratchet immediately demanded to know why. They both blocked the door refusing to let him out and wanting to talk about this.

"It's better for all of us if I leave."

Drift shook his head giving him a sad look.

"You can't leave."

"The slag it is!"

Ratchet glared.

"You are not leaving. I don't know what's going on with you but we can talk it through."

"I'm sparked."

He blurted out flinching slightly in preparation for the horrible words that were about to be thrown at him. Except none came and when he looked up he found Drift and Ratchet staring at him in surprise and to his shock happiness.

They were both immediately on him. Ratchet scanned him and Drift was feeling his swollen belly. Both of them looked at him with love and adoration and it was so shocking it nearly brought him to the floor as his knees went weak.

"I don't understand I thought you wouldn't want the sparkling."

"Of course we'd want the sparkling."

"Why would you think we wouldn't?"

"The jokes you two were making about not wanting a sparkling?"

"We're both too old to have sparklings and our bodies have been put through so much that it's not possible. We never thought we'd ever have the chance to have sparklings."

"We joke about it because it's easier to cope."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"We didn't want you to feel pressured. We know how you feel about being a tank carrier and everything you've gone through."

He felt tears fall and both Ratchet and Drift hugged him. He collapsed into their arms and sobbed in relief because they loved him and wanted their sparkling.

The three of them eventually moved to their bed where they cuddled together excitedly talking about the future.

This is the first time i post something like this in ages, i apologize with the grammar, English isn’t my first language, hope y’all like it.

I’ve been friends with Kyle for a long time, but that is just that we’ve been friends, neither he nor I have taken another step and, it’s because he already has someone else.

I was always afraid to confess how I felt, long before his relationship with Chrissy began, although there were times when I was able to confess to him and even he seemed to feel the same, but in the end, it was not like that or at least I didn't let it happen.

Between Adam and Kyle the tension has grown for a long time, it was difficult to explain but for some time now the great bond of friendship has broken little by little, they started with little jokes that escalated to tensions, then they were cursing each other, and finally we got to the situation in which we found ourselves; kyle and adam hitting each other outside a bar, while Roddy and Bobby tried to separate them, sadly taking quite a few punches.

"guys, enough" Roddy yelled, people came closer and closer to see what was happening.

"Adam, stop it, Kyle let him go" I screamed as I could and in the distance I could hear someone calling the police.

"guys, stop, stop now, the police are coming" just at that moment, maybe destiny?, Roddy and Bobby could finally separate them.

All of this was too much, the tension, the people making a circle making the space smaller, the anger in the air grow stronger. Suddenly sirens are heard and the blue and red lights are seen closer to us, part of the audience that Kyle and Adam gathered began to disperse.

"Ok people there’s nothing else to see" said a police officer, the remaining people began to leave "you two are coming with us".

"sir, wait" I interfered "they already stopped, besides I think this will not happen again, right?" I looked at both of them, but honestly I doubt this will end here.

"I will if he apologizes," Adam said, then he spit out some blood from his mouth.

"Me? apologize? why would I have to apologize if the one who’s been acting like an asshole for all these years is you " I saw Kyle's knuckles turned white, trying to contain his anger.

"You're an idiot O’reilly" it all went so fast, we didn't realize that Adam managed to get free of Roddy, throwing himself at Kyle and punching him, causing his lower lip to bust and begin to bleed.

"ADAM NO" Roddy, Bobby and I yelled at the same time.

"Ok enough, the two of you are coming with us" as much as we tried to do something, we couldn't, Adam was being handcuffed and Kyle was already in the back of the police car.

"Y/N Roddy and I will get ahead to the station, we’ll see what we can do so this situation doesn’t get worse".

"Here, take my car and meet us there, try to call Britt and Chrissy, we'll see you at the station" Roddy hands me his keys and they cross the street so they can leave in Bobby's car.

Calling Britt wouldn't be difficult, the difficult thing would be calling Chrissy. The two of us don’t have the best relationship, although we treat each other with respect and greet each other if necessary, we are not friends and I doubt that in the future we’ll be, I thought that Chrissy has noticed the way I feel for Kyle and that’s why she doesn't like me. But it wasn’t time to think about our "rivalry", it was time to get Kyle and Adam out of the situation they got into.

After talking calmly as possible with Britt and explaining what happened and where were I was going, I started to call Chrissy, she didn’t answer and I had already lost count of how many times I called her.

"Hey Chrissy, this is ____, look Adam and Kyle argued and it got a little bit violent, now we are on our way to the police station, please communicate with any of us as soon as possible" I said after her voicemail was heard—for the thousandth time—.

Once I parked the car I entered the station as quickly as possible, meeting Britt, Roddy and Bobby, Britt approached me giving me a warm hug.

"Where’s Chrissy?" Britt asked

"I don't know, I called her many times and she never answered, I left her a message anyway"

"Adam doesn’t come out of this alive, I have talked to him so many times, this stupid fight with Kyle has already gone too far" Britt sat in one of the reception chairs, with her hands she covered her face trying to contain the frustration and tears due to the situation we were in.

"I really want to understand how it all started, it was so sudden that I can’t connect the dots, for years we’ve been fine and now this thing in the bar, I don't know what caused it" I sat next to her while hugging her to calm her down a bit.

After a long wait, we were able to get Kyle and Adam out — all of us had to pay the fees that were given to them — they both looked bad, bruises scratches all over their faces and I imagine part of their arms and torso.

"Well, Adam and I are leaving, thank you guys very much, believe me if it was up to me he stayed here" Britt said, provoking a small laugh between us — but not from Kyle and Adam—.

"Well, I think we’ll have to talk about this" said Bobby "but not now, we are tired, it’s best to leave it for later".

"Ah Y/N, your car is in the parking lot of the bar, take mine and tomorrow after training I’ll take you for it" said Roddy "will you take Kyle to his house?" He asks, I nod with a little smile, we say goodbye and everyone goes their own way.

“Let’s go” I said

As I could, I took Kyle to the car, he slowly sat in the passenger seat letting out occasional groans of pain. I started the car, the sound of the engine was the only thing that could be heard, I didn't know what to say and the truth was I didn’t know if there was anything to say, until he spoke.

"Did you call Chrissy?" Sure, there was no other reason why he would talk to me, not even an apology for the scene they both made, which was fair and they owed us.

"Yes, but she didn't answer," I replied coldly, making him understand that I didn't want to talk to him and I started driving.

The drive home was awkward and annoying, I wanted so badly to tell him how angry I was, how embarrassing it was for us to go to the station for a stupid fight that we didn't even know — or at least I didn’t— why it started. But my sadness and anger was bigger than the most probable thing is that the one who’ll end up crying would be me and not him, I was so deep in my thoughts that I had not realized that we arrived, I drove so naturally to his house, as I used to do before.

As I could, I took him inside laying him on his bed, little gasps of pain came out of him. Surely tomorrow he’ll have to go to the hospital to be checked, but that was no longer my duty (even if I wanted to be).

"Well, see you ..." I could feel his hand taking mine causing my heart to beat fast.

"No, please stay, at least until I fall asleep" his face reflected pain, I don't know if it was because his body was agonizing from the punches or it was because if I left he would be alone.

"Kyle don’t ... I ... I can't" I wanted to leave but again he took me by the hand a little harder, surely the effort hurt because I could hear his groan of pain.

"Please ... just until ... don't go" I watched a few tears come out of his eyes.

"I'm an idiot, I shouldn't have acted like that, it's just that all these years, this accumulated frustration, I couldn't contain it anymore" I sat next to him.

"Adam has always been the best, the one who has everything, but Bobby, Roddy and I are always in second place and he really seem to not care, nothing matters, as long as he continues as spotlight everything is fine" Kyle tries to sit down whining with pain, I help him by putting a pillow so that it doesn't hurt anymore.

"At the bar he said something" I looked at him confused as he set his look somewhere in his room.

“What did he say?”

"He said that I was a coward and that the clear example of that was you"

"Me? and what do I have to do with that? " I asked confused, but my heart and mind knowing what he might mean.

"I ... for many years I have loved you, but Adam is right, I was a coward and I never told you, I fear rejection" he took a pause "I was close to telling you, but then I saw that you and Marcel ... well"

"Between Marcel and me there was nothing" thanks to the darkness of the room Kyle could not see that my eyes began to water when I remembered the asshole of Marcel and the pain he caused to me in such a short time.

"Well, I thought so, that's why I started dating Chrissy, I didn't want to ruin anything for you, plus I didn't know if you'd correspond me"

"Kyle ... I felt the same ... shit who am I lying to, I still do it" I stood up I couldn't see to his face, I wanted to cry, but I didn't want him to see it, I stood in front of his window trying to distract myself with anything.

I feel one of his hands rests on my back while with his thumb caresses me tenderly, with his other hand takes my chin to turn my face, I put a little strength but in the end I turn and look at him, from his cheek rolls few tears, he brings his forehead to mine and I close my eyes, so I can't see him and I can avoid kissing him. I can't do it, he is with Chrissy I can't do this to her, she doesn't deserve it, it doesn't matter that we don't get along, no one deserves to go through something like this, I can't do this, I want to run and forget about everything, especially Kyle.

"Look at me" with his thumb he wipes my tears.

"No, please don't" I squeeze my eyes trying to hold back all the tears that wanted to come out.

"Y/N look at me" even if I resist I slowly open my eyes, seeing him a little blurred because of the tears that accumulated in my eyes.

"Kyle"

"Yes?"

“I love you..."

"I…"

"Let me finish" I interrupt him

"I love you, you don't know how much I do it, but this is not right, I can't do this to Chrissy, I know that we don't get along, but she doesn't deserve this" I walk away from him and I sit on his bed again, covering my face with my hands.

"Chrissy, you worry about her too much, when she didn't even care about what happened."

"So? that's not on me, I can't do this to her, I couldn't live with this Kyle "

At this point it was impossible to contain my tears and I began to cry, I didn’t think this moment would be so painful. I can feel how Kyle gets on his knees and his hands remove mine from my face, I look up to see him in the eyes and the pain in my heart intensifies more.

"Stay with me, hold me until this pain is gone, don't leave me" my heart breaks again, I can see the pain and sincerity in his eyes.

"I would kiss each of your wounds ... but" I let out a sigh "you are not mine and you’ll never be" I caressed his face with my thumb and brought our foreheads together again, the only thing that could be heard in the whole house was our sobs.

"Kyle, Kyle, are you here?" We separated abruptly, we recognized that voice immediately, Chrissy was home.

"No one answered me until Britt ..." Chrissy froze as she looked at the two of us sitting on the bed, far enough apart so she didn't suspect anything.

"Oh, hi Y/N I didn't know you’d be here" the atmosphere in the room had become tense and uncomfortable, I got up quickly.

"Yeah, mmm I just brought Kyle home, I'll leave you guys alone" Chrissy stepped aside so I could leave the room but Kyle spoke.

"Y/N" I turned to see him and i tried so hard to not cry anymore "thank you" he smiled at me.

"It was nothing, bye, take care Chrissy"

I got out of there as fast as possible, getting in the car and turning it on, on my way back home the best thing I could do was cry, I loved Kyle more than I loved someone in my life, I had never felt something like this before, but as I told him he’s not mine and I think he’ll never be.

Uh, hm. G1!Hot Rod trying to get Ultra Magnus to go fishing with him as a buddy.

Alright, I'm done being sick and life's calmed down enough. Let's get some writing in.

Word count capping at 790

“I’m a busy mech, Hot Rod.”

“That’s what you always say!”

The two were walking along a hall in a building that housed most higher officers’ personal offices. Hot Rod had caught Ultra Magnus earlier on and began keeping pace beside him as he tried to tempt him away from the building.

The larger mech kept his gaze on the path ahead, refusing to slow his gait. “I always say it, because it’s always true. There is a lot that I have to do as chief lieutenant. My responsibilities will not let up just because I want to go and slack off like you.”

“But you admit you want a break,” Roddy pointed out. “Come on, Magnus! It’s not like it’ll be the whole day! Just a few hours; no one will miss you.”

“Why don’t you go ask Daniel?” Magnus suggested. “I’m sure he’d be more than happy to go with you.”

Hot Rod pouted slightly as he turned his gaze to the ground. “Carly’s commandeered him until further notice. Something about his schooling.”

“That’s not commandeering. She has every authority as his mother to make that call.”

The smaller mech waved a dismissive hand while looking disgruntled. “The point being I can’t hang out with him right now.”

“There must be a million others who you could hang out with. What about the Dinobots? They like fishing.”

“Yeah, and they make a mess of it and scare away most of the fish,” Hot Rod griped.

Ultra Magnus turned his head to look down at his little red friend. “Kup? Springer? Arcee?”

“Talks too much. Ew, no. Tried, she’s not interested.”

The two entered the chief lieutenant’s office and Magnus proceeded to take a seat behind his desk. This did not deter Hot Rod. He only took the chair opposite the desk and dragged it over beside him. He then sat down and leaned against the larger mech, smooshing his cheek against Magnus’ bicep.

“Come on, Ultra Magnus.”

Ultra Magnus sighed and shot him a weary glance as he reached for one of the many datapads stacked on his desk. “Hot Rod, I’m sorry. There’s too much to do.”

“You get a promotion and you never hang out with me anymore,” the red bot pouted sullenly.

The blue mech winced. “It’s as I said before, my responsibilities have risen. I cannot neglect my station. I’m sorry. What about Sunstreaker and Sideswipe? You three like to hang out often enough, right?”

That wince didn’t escape Hot Rod’s notice. Magnus could pretend to be firm all he wanted, but that one wince made it obvious to Hot Rod that to get what he wanted, he’d need to pull something from Daniel’s bag of tricks. Handy, but only if used sparingly and at the right moment. But he had to be careful not to be manipulative about it. Not only would Ultra Magnus catch on and get annoyed with him, but it was also just plain mean to do. It wasn’t hard to be genuine, though.

The little mech was silent for a minute, then screwed up his face to resemble that of a kicked puppy. “Ultra Magnus,” he murmured softly, peering up into his friend’s large blue optics as best he could and placing a hand on the arm he was leaning on. “Please? Please come hang out with me? I miss you…”

The chief lieutenant’s movements slowed as he gained a torn expression. And then he made the mistake of looking down into Hot Rod’s optics. The large mech grimaced as a wave of guilt washed over him, and he stilled for a moment before he slowly set the datapad down. “All right,” he caved, flashing him a small tired smile. “What’s a few hours, I suppose?”

Roddy beamed up at him gratefully and got to his feet. “The sooner we get out there, the sooner you can get back to doing your work, you square.” He took a moment to nudge Magnus’ shoulder with a teasing elbow before the chief lieutenant stood up. “We’ll need to swing by my quarters to pick up the rods first. I bet you’ve tossed out yours since you haven’t used it in ages.”

Magnus gave him a surprised look. “No, I’ve still got it. It’s sitting in my storage bin. Why would I throw it away? You got it for me.”

Critical hit to the spark! Hot Rod clutched a hand at his chest piece and bent forward a tad with a wheezy groan. To which Ultra Magnus smiled and shook his head before placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Let’s get going, shall we?”

The smaller bot recovered and shot him another grin before leading the way back out of the office.
