Am I Doing This Right?(Whirl and Sparky short fic)

Here’s something I made in my off time for fun. Also I wanted to give these two more characterization, my writing isn’t the best but I still wanted to try! Shout out to @transformers-trash-fan who helped me with the title.

Hope y’all enjoy! :D

“Caretaker?”

“CARETAKER!”

Whirl nearly jumped out of his Spark when he heard Sparky’s voice. He still hadn’t gotten use to someone waking him up yet, let alone a sparkling. “Yeah kid….I’m up, I’m up! What’s wrong?” Whirl replies with a bit of a groggy voice.

Sparky was currently laying on top of his chassis, he tilted his head a bit. He always had to wake his caretaker up so he wouldn’t over sleep, this was usually when he came back from swerve’s after drinking that weird energon. Sparky never understood why bot’s acted acted weird after that.

“Caretaker! Your finally up!” Sparky beams. “ Yeah kinda hard to stay asleep with your voice kiddo…” Whirl scratched his helm, then sat up off his birth. Sparky held on tightly to whirl’s plating, this was something he had watched Undex do with his Sire. He realized this was a common things Sparkling’s would do with they’re creators, and Sparky had to play the part.

He wasn’t a normal sparkling after all….

“Hey kid! Ya listening?

Sparky perked up from his thoughts to look at whirl. “Uh….No sorry…” Sparky muttered near his auto receptor, Whirl only shook his head. “I was saying that your energon was ready. Geez kiddo you’ve been day dream a lot lately.” Whirl sat the cube on the table and lifted little sparky down to the table as well. Sparky made a sour face at the energon, he still wasn’t use to drinking an actual liquid instead of energon.

“Mmhhh…I’m not hungry yet…can I be excused?” Sparky begged trying to make his one optic bigger, another thing he picked up for Undex. “Oh no! No puppy dog optics this time! Ratchet made it very clear that Sparkling’s are supposed drink energon more than three times a day. Remember what happened last time? You passed out mid sentence, I had to rush you too the medbay! And boy did that old bunch of bolts give me an ear full.”

It felt unnatural giving a sparky a lecture, usually it was the ladder but having a sparkling made whirl become a bit more….responsible. Sparky sighed and picked up the cube “Yeah I remember…” he replied before drinking the down the energon. And as usual Spark himself didn’t feel energized from it at all, his body did feel less heavy though. It seemed energon only helped the spare parts Sparky used as a suit to be more mobile.

“There, that wasn’t so bad now was it? Usually Sparkling’s beg for more energon, but you seem to be the opposite.” Whirl joked a little. But Sparky cringed a bit, he needed to be more careful. One wrong slip up and….

“You not a scraplet are ya?”

Sparky jumped a bit at first but noticed Whirl's obvious playful tone “WHAT?! No I’m a sparkling” he chuckled. Whirl rubbed his helm a bit with one of his claws ever so gently. “I know kiddo I was just pulling ya leg. I actually took care of a scraplet a while back…” he trailed off then shook his helm.

“Well now that your all done it’s time to go see Rung for that mandatory Creator, Sparkling counseling scrap this cycle.” Whirl rolled his optic a bit. Sparky groaned “But I wanna see Gala and Undex today…and Mister Rung takes forever….” He whined. “Yeah trust me I hate it too kid, but we have to go or else…” whirl stopped himself. He probably shouldn’t tell Sparky that these meetings were the only thing keeping him and Sparky together.

He was already being judge for being a caretaker, something Sparky would gladly call him with the most sincere voice. It actually made him feel…pleasant oddly enough, He wouldn’t tell anyone else that. Sparky for whatever reason chose him to raise him, the last thing he wanted was to loose him. “…or else I might get in trouble, you don’t want that right?”

Sparky instantly jumped from the table and gasped “NO! WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO BEFORE?!” Sparky shouts a bit shocked. He ran to the Habsuite door and instantly started jumping to press the door panel. “Hurray up Caretaker! Or else were going to be late!” Whirl couldn’t help but laugh a loud at his actions, that didn’t take much convincing did it.

“Easy now, it’s gonna take a lot more than being late to a little meeting to get me back at the Brigg! Haven’t been there in a while actually, wonder how everyone’s doing down there.” Whirl pressed the button to the door so Sparky could run out a head. Magnus had “childproof” his room while he was away one day to prevent any accident.

“Come on Caretaker! Over here, Over here!” Sparky chuckled before running farther ahead. “I’m right behind ya kiddo. Geez Do you ever run out of energy? Ha ha!” It only took Whirl about three steps for him to catch up to Sparky. But that didn’t stop him from trying to run a head again, for every step Whirl took Sparky had to take at least ten.

“Wow caretaker your really fast!” Sparky replies now carefully weaving in an out between his peds. “Well that’s because yours so shor-Aye! Easy now!” Whirl interrupted himself and carefully stopped his right ped from coming down on Sparky. “Last thing I need is took take you back to the med bay again remember.” Whirl chuckled

Sparky chuckled with Whirl a bit then stopped in his tracks. Whirl stopped and turned to look back “Something wrong kiddo?” He asked trying not to sound to worried. “Caretaker….am I a burden to you?” Sparky twiddled his digits a bit. Whirls optic widen a bit, he crouched down to Sparky’s level “Now why would you think that? Is this because I called ya a scraplet earlier.”

If Sparky could smile he would, but all that showed was an upturned optic. “Well…it’s because every time bots see me with you they always give you a weird look and then they say that they can’t understand how I’m so polite when I’m getting raised by you.” Whirl squinted a bit, he was gonna have to ask for names and looks later so he could have a little “talk to those bots. “Well Sparky that’s just because-”

“And I’m always getting sick because I don’t remember to drink enough energon, and I always accidentally hurt myself! And..and…” Sparky was on the verge of tears which wasn’t good, Whirl barely knew how to comfort an adult bot let alone a sparkling. “Hey! Hey! None of that now!” Whirl tried using his claw to wipe the coolant from Sparky’s optic.

“Your never a burden to me Sparky, you have no idea how you’ve help me.” Whirl then picked him up ever so gently in both his claws, he couldn’t comfort Sparky like how Rodimus and Rung would do there younglings but he could still try. “Really? I have?” Sparky sniffled then hugged his claws for security.

“Of course Sparky! I…I care about you.” Whirl replies bringing Sparky in for an embrace. Sparky still sniffled a bit, if only he knew what he really was. Would he feel the same way? Who’s to tell really, but he’s just gonna enjoy this feeling for as long as he could.

Whirl looked around and sighed in relief, lucky for him that no bot was walking through the hallway at the moment. Whirl sat Sparky on his shoulder “Alright, now that you’ve got that out of your system ready for this boring aft parent counseling?”

Sparky smiled “Yep! Maybe it won’t be so boring this time!”
