Yes, another one of these

[andallthatme]

[ 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 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.]

[andallthatme]

[ He moves a hand to Ironhide's chest, and begins gently tracing the scars there ]

[ All of these feelings are almost overwhelming, but he returns each and every one. He needs you, too. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[He's having a hard time telling who's thinking what. Is it him? Does it matter?]

[His vents huff, and he settles back against the berth, shuttering his optics. He'll think about it later. Enjoy that touch now.]

[andallthatme]

[ It is sort of a jumbled mess, but they're thinking the same thing anyway, so no, it really doesn't matter. ]

[ It doesn't take long for him to drift off. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[Strangely enough, Jazz's unconsciousness starts tugging him down too. He's not far behind, but doesn't let go of the other.

He won't, until he wakes up.]

[andallthatme]

[ It's likely he won't wake up until Ironhide does, anyway. ]

[show_my_cannons]

[Does that mean we get to sleep for two whole days?]

[andallthatme]

[ Don't you have classes or whatever to run? ]

[show_my_cannons]

[... Yes. Curse you and your logic. Fine. Just an entire night of recharge, then.]
