Reincarnation AU

Oh IDW Rodimus (⁠´⁠;⁠︵⁠;⁠`⁠)

I can imagine how happy he was to be able to hold the (happy) bitlet as soon the lil one came out of the incubator (with Drif right behind them), he goes with him all/most of the time ( the baby is a mama's boy who loves the fire)

About cyberverse 🤔, the fans of the show made me like soundwave x hot rod/Rodimus, maybe during the arc where they were separated by a wall? Or before it

Oh yeah, he cried when he finally got to hold his baby for the first time, after bitty had been in the NICU for several weeks. He's so tiny and lightweight, Roddy's so afraid of breaking him. Handles him like a fine glass sculpture, and whispers the entire time 💖 baby is very content to curl up in his carrier's arms, tiny hand curled round one of his fingers, and sleeps so soundly snuggled just above Rodimus's spark

As for cyberverse...

With the planet now split in half and a peace treaty they're supposed to be a biding by (Autobots, I am fucking talking to you), Hot Rod's got a good amount of free time on his hands. Finding out he's sparked sends excited ripples through the entirety of the autobot forces, and Hot Rod rides the wave, milking his condition for all it's worth while everyone falls all over themselves to cater to his every whim. You're having a baby, Roddy, let me carry that for you! Here Roddy, have some extra energon! You're eating for two, after all. Sure Roddy, I'll go fetch you whatever you want. So on and so forth. It's a pretty easy pregnancy--kid rarely kicks him, it doesn't make him sick, and he's got a minimum of 5 people waiting on him hand and foot at any given moment. He's living the life and is sooo pleased with himself

He's not taking it as seriously as he should, honestly. The baby shower gives him everything he thinks he'll need, and he's never really been around newborn sparklings. How hard can it be? They cry, they throw up, they have to be rocked to sleep, kinda like a fussy turbohound pup. He's gonna be a cool super mom, he thinks, coasting through motherhood with a sparkling that's surely going to be his best friend

Then, he goes into labor, and halfway through Ratchet gets a troubled look on his face and yells at First Aid to set up the privacy screen. Something's wrong, they can't get a read on the baby's spark, and they have to perform emergency cesarean. It's a huge wake up call for Hot Rod, seeing the medics desperately rubbing his newspark's chest, First Aid begging him to come back, to live, and even when the bitty's body suddenly jerks and they begin to cough and wail, it's not a relief. The medics rush to get the sparkling stabilized, straight into a NICU incubator while they determine what the root problem is

Cyberverse Hot Rod, I'll be honest, is not ready for a baby. Significantly less so than IDW Rodimus, at any rate. He's never had to be responsible for another living thing before, especially one so helpless and reliant on the care of others, and he's horribly immature + prejudiced. He hasn't been taking this seriously at all, and it doesn't really hit him that this is life or death until he asks the medical team, "I mean... he'll be ok, right?"

And Ratchet just gives him this forlorn look, optics unreadable and face grim. "I dunno, kid."

That answer sends a foreign wave of panic crashing over him, and he tries to get off the medberth. Saying he has to see him, he- he has to see his baby, he can't die, this can't be happening, no, NO-

It's an incredibly sobering experience, and completely rewrites all of his plans for the foreseeable future. He was looking forward to a grand debut party where he'd shuttle his adorable baby around and soak up all the compliments and attention from everyone, perhaps taking them on a tour of Cybertron to see the sights. Now, though, he has to be sat down by Ratchet and take a very stern lecture on looking after his son's health. He's incredibly frail, some of his internal components aren't fully formed yet. He'll need to drink specially filtered energon and shouldn't be exposed to extreme temperatures--that means no space surfing--and until his little body can strengthen and his balance system can properly self-calibrate, no fast driving. None. At all. 30 mph, max, no exceptions. Baby shouldn't be in a confined space with more than 3 people at a time, and everyone needs to decontaminate thoroughly before they touch him. On and on it goes, a long laundry list of things Hot Rod's gonna have to menorize, fast, if he wants to keep his son. Cruel as it may seem, Ratchet makes it abundantly clear that if Hot Rod can't take this seriously and keep the baby healthy, they'll have no choice but to remove the sparkling from his care and pass the responsibility to someone else. Roddy does not want that to happen, so vows to do his best

Will he succeed? Well... that's a story for another day 🤭

BETTER THAN YOU BAY BAY

MJF x Adam Cole

(when they break up imma literally be crying for days. They are my only source of happiness)

Summary-

Max couldn't explain to you, why he felt the urge to protect Adam after his match against Samoa Joe, he can never stand to see the ones he cares for hurt.

But the number one questions on his mind are, Where was Adam? Why was he so late to Max's match? But when he tries to ask Adam about his things go a little bit south until Adam returns beat up, and Max doesn't take any bullshit answers

~

Who did this to you ?!

He couldn't explain to you, why he had such a strong urge to protect Adam tonight, especially after getting his ass handed to him. But he does give himself props. He beat Joe. You told you he would, he never doubted himself. But even after he felt like practically dying, He saw Joe try to lunge at Adam and risked everything just to protect his brochacho.

Max's number one question is, Where was Adam? Why did he take so long to show up? He was supposed to come down to the ring and support his best friend throughout one of his most important matches in his career against Samoa Joe, it's long time story telling yall. This match meant so much the kid inside him. They did it. They proved it to everyone, infront of his New York peers. Why the fuck was Adam so late?

Okay he's not really mad. Adam still came and supported him, he was an amazing friend, and even injured himself for Max.

Walking back stage was tough, he felt so much pride, but at the same time all he felt was agony. Everything hurt. In all honesty both men were in pain, Cole was still suffering from his ankle injury he endured moments earlier.

Adam was helping him walk, While trying to hide his own limp. He had Max's arm around his neck with his arm wrapped around Max's back. They made their way into doc sampsons and sat there in silence with occasional small talk until both men were cleared to leave.

"Max how are you feeling?" Adam asked gently once they were in the car headed to the hotel that the roster was staying at.

"Everything fucking hurts" He replied while favoring his neck, turning his head slightly to look at Adam

Cole grimaces slightly in sympathy

They soon arrive at the hotel and walk in silence until they reach their shared room.

Adam hasn't shared a room with Britt in so long, he feels guilty, but it's not really his fault. All tag partners room together everywhere right?

They take turns showering and unpacking and packing up certain things until both are done and drained.

Adam walks out of the bathroom and he finished brushing his teeth and took a seat by MJF who was sitting on the bed, leaning against the bedframe, scrolling through his phone while holding an ice pack to his neck.

Max looks over at Cole and sighs.

"How's your leg doing? Dude what the fuck even happened?" He asks laughing slightly

Adam shows a small smile

"Max I don't even know, I jumped the ramp to get around to you guys faster and I guess I screwed up my leg or something" He says rushed, he didn't want Max to worry about him, he knows he would so he tries not to make it a big deal.

Max throws him a concerned look

"Dude are you gonna be-" He tries to ask before getting cut off

"Max im gonna be fine alright, everything's good, let's not focus on that let's focus on you. You're in more pain than I am, tonight was your night. You won Max, and I couldn't be more proud of you" He says reassuringly and scoots closer slightly

Max smiles back gratefully but still not fully convinced. He doesn't want to push it so he asks the question that's been on his mind since he saw Cole rush out to cheer him on.

"Adam. Where were you? Why'd it take you so long to show up?" He states seriously

The older man shifts uncomfortably and avoids eye contact

Max notices

"Cole."

"Look. I- uh. I needed to visit Roddy alright. But then he tried to guilt me into staying longer. I didn't. I came back to watch you of course. I'm sorry I never told you, didn't mean to alarm to and i stayed backstage because i thought you wanted to do this on your own." he says quietly still avoiding eye contact

"Bay Bay, how many times do I have to tell this to you. The man is clearly faking it. He's just acting like a jealous ex fucking boyfriend so you'll pay attention to him"  He states trying to get the information through Adam's head, after readjusting his grip on his icepack

But apparently this angers him

"Max what do you know? All everyone has told me is that I'm stupid for being your friend. They all tell me how your gonna turn on me once the time is right. Roddys just acting like a dick right now, but he's still my friend. I need to support him like im supporting you. If they have to get used to the fact that your my bestfriend than you can get used to the fact that Roddys mine" Adam rushes out quite angry

Max feels his eyes widen, and backs off not wanting to cause chaos

"Fine. Goodnight" He says quietly, dropping the subject.

Max turns lays down on one side of the bed and gets under the covers before turning around, facing away from Adam, he lets his icepack rest behind his neck.

"Turn off the lights" He orders before going to sleep.

Cole suddenly feels guilty eat away at him.

This was Max's night. Why did he freak out on him? Everything the man said was true.

"I'm sorry Max" he whispers before getting out of bed to turn off the lights

He doesn't crawl back into bed though. No, he puts on a hoodie and leaves the hotel to go on a walk to get refreshed.

He still has a slight limp but he's had worse. He can deal with it.

He's quite chilly out so he tucks his hands into his hoodie pockets in an attempt to stay warm.

He doesn't get very far until he hears hushed whispers.

Cole tries not to look back and keeps walking. That is until he feels himself get grabbed and thrown onto the ground.

He groans in pain.

The group of people keep kicking and clawing at him. Adam let's them, he doesn't attempt to shove then away, he just curls up into a ball and waits for it to be over.

The attack goes on for another 5 minutes until he hears them talk to one another before leaving.

"Fucking asshole" He hears one of them say, the voice sounds familiar

He tries to look up and catches a glimpse of who they are. All he sees is blurs for about 5 seconds until his sight clears.

Of. Fucking. Course.

Its Roddy & The kingdom.

He should have known. Honestly he should've. He shouldn't have went to that damn hospital. He should've stayed with Max the whole time.

He's slowly drags himself off of the ground and rubs away the blood flowing from his nose from when he face planted onto the ground.

He groans in agony limps back to the hotel slow as ever.

He attempts to open the door quietly so he can sneak back into bed without worrying his tag partner.

But obviously that doesn't end up happening. The universe never seems to be on his side.

He opens the door to Max worryingly pacing around the room.

Once his eyes catch Adam's he rushes over and starts talking a mile a minute.

"What the fuck?! What happened?! Are you okay? Who did this to you. I swear to God Ada-"

"MAX im fine okay don't worry about me" he cuts Max's rambling off in an attempt to shrug of his concern.

Max grabs Adam's chin and stares him in the eyes.

"Don't worry about you?! Adam I swear to God. Don't you lie to me. Who. Did. This. To. You." He says dead serious

Adam shivers

"Max. I-"

"Adam. I'll fucking bend you over my knee" He says a threat.

Coles eyes widen as he feels his face get hot at that.

He knows he's serious to. Max will. It's almost happened before.

"It was Roddy and his gang" the flustered man whispers

Max is furious. He'll fucking kick their asses.

But he calms down enough so he doesn't flip out anymore infront of Adam.

"Come here" He guides Adam gently into the bathroom and sits him down on the counter.

Max goes between Coles legs and grabs a were wash cloth, he gently rubs the blood of his face and body.

Adam catches himself staring at Max, the way he's being so careful not to hurt him more. He likes the way Max looks whens he's focused. It's hot.

"Max.." Cole whispers to get his attention

MJF looks up from where he was almost finished patching up Adam's cuts on his arm.

"What is it?" He says concerned

Max examines Adam's face and gently puts his hand on his cheek and rubs

"Kiss me or leave me" he says quietly but bodly

This catches Max of guard and he flinched a bit, looking wide eye and flustered

"What?" He says confused

"Please, kiss me or just get it over with and leave me" The long haired man whimpers

The curly haired man smiles

He grabs Adam's face lightly and presses his lips onto his

Adam grabs the back of his neck and carefully as he can without causing the other man any pain.

"I'm not going to leave you Adam, I love you to much to do that" He whispers once they break the kiss

Adam smiles

"I'm sorry for getting upset at you earlier. I knew you were right. I just wanted to give him a chance" he apolagizes

"Its alright man don't apolagize, but don't think they're getting off the hook for this. Im gonna fucking kill them." Max states, he's eyes full of fury.

"Thanks" He starts before hopping of the counter so he can properly hug the man

"And by the way I love you too Max" he finishes and grabs Max so he can reconnect their lips.
