Yes, another one of these

[ This might be a training center. And this might be a lieutenant running a few drills. It's been far too long since he did any sort of training, anyway.

Right now the Cybertronian version of a punching bag is occupying his attention. ]

[He holds him a little tighter, keeping them close. It took him so long to simply get to this--this contact. He can't lose it. He won't.]

... Be fine.

[He swears it. He will make this okay.]

[andallthatme]

[ They. They will make this okay. Because they is all there is now. ]

[show_my_cannons]

... Going to take time to get used to that.

[andallthatme]

Yeah. It is.

[show_my_cannons]

Jazz...

[He's trying to say it. That thing that's so difficult for him to say. He loves you. He needs you.]

[andallthatme]

[ You don't have to- he knows, and there's nothing but gratitude and affection pouring over from his side of the bond. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[He feels like he should try. Despite the fact that his end is showing much of the same.]

[andallthatme]

[ He'll say it first, then. For all those times he wanted to, but couldn't. ]

I love you.

[show_my_cannons]

[He wants to say it. He really does. It's there... he just... can't make the words come out.

So he nods, trying to make the meaning come across.]

[andallthatme]

[ It's okay. He knows. Now more than ever, he knows. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[... he's also sorry he can't say it. You deserve to hear it.]

[andallthatme]

[ He does hear it. Every time you think it. Every time you feel it. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[And that's going to take a lot of getting used to. He just sort of sighs against him - this has been one exhausting revelation.]

[andallthatme]

[ It really has.

Maybe a nap is in order. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[He had the same idea.

He'll cram some energon into you when they wake up.]

[andallthatme]

[ He makes a noise that's something like a snort.

He's perfectly capable of feeding himself, thank you very much. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[... that's his noise, thank you very much. And this... is very strange.]

Still going to make you refuel.

[andallthatme]

All right, dear.

[ He's just teasing, of course. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[Growl. Teasing or no, that's not his name.]

Go recharge.

[andallthatme]

[ It's weird, having you be indignant inside of his head. He does still manage a smirk, though. ]

Go? I'd like to stay.

[show_my_cannons]

[It's weird, having you be amused.]

... Fine with me.

[And it is. In fact, he wants you to. Very much.]

[andallthatme]

Good.

[ He wants to stay with you for as long as he can. ]

[show_my_cannons]

... You will. I will not... leave.

[As he sort of runs a thumb over Jazz's forehead.]

[andallthatme]

[ He leans into that, engine kicking on with a purr ]

Mm. [ He won't ever leave you either. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[He'll just keep doing that, then.]

[He needs you - more than he could put into words. There's been too much hurt, without you, it might not have started healing.]
