Work Text:
Shockwave was reviewing a datapad. The sound of pedesteps was heard behind him.
Shockwave asked, "What's that smell?"
Soundwave questioned, "Query: What do you mean?"
Shockwave asked, "I smell something. Is it you, Soundwave?" Soundwave responded, "Statement: I do not smell anything."
Shockwave put away his datapad and asked, "It smells like pheromones." Soundwave asked, "Query: What kind of pheromones?" Shockwave got closer to Soundwave and said, "Like something in heat." Soundwave responded, "Statement: I do not smell anything." Shockwave smelled him. Soundwave stood still.
Shockwave hugged him tightly and looped a leg around his hip. Soundwave said, "Query: What are you doing?"
Shockwave got off of him and backed off, then said, "I apologize, I got illogically affectionate." Soundwave responded, "Apology accepted." Shockwave responded, "I don't understand what overcame me."
Soundwave responded, "Statement: You seem highly sensitive to pheremones."
Shockwave said, "Yes, normally it's only mini bots and females..."
Soundwave questioned, "Query: Could you have detected Rumble and Frenzy's pheremones on me?" Shockwave said, "They are cassettes, not mini bots... Wait, they are already having mating pheromones?"
Soundwave responded, "Statement: I do not know." Soundwave responded, "Statement: They should not. But it's not unheard of."
Shockwave asked, "Where are they?"
Soundwave responded, "Statement: I do not know." Shockwave questioned, "I apologize, but isn't that worrisome?" Shockwave sat. Soundwave responded, "Statement: I did not consider it worrisome before."
Shockwave stared at him in silence, then spoke. "I'm concerned if either of them is affecting me so badly with their pheromones, then what would I do if I were near the source?..."
Soundwave responded, "Statement: I do not know. We should keep you away from the cassettes until this fades."
Shockwave got up and said, "I smell females!" Soundwave responded, "No, Shockwave-"
Shockwave began following the smell. Soundwave followed after Shockwave.
Shockwave saw Frenzy and Rumble. Frenzy and Rumble didn't notice Shockwave as they were busy chatting to each other. Shockwave smelled them.
Frenzy questioned, "What are you doing?!" Shockwave said, "Someone didn't clean." Frenzy responded, "Are you saying I'm dirty?" Shockwave picked him up and said, "You are. Now I'm going to have to clean you." Frenzy exclaimed, "Ah!"
Shockwave took him to the washracks and started cleaning him.
Frenzy crossed his arms and pouted.
Frenzy remarked, "This is humiliating."
Shockwave said, "You aren't a sparkling anymore. You are producing pheromones, and you'll smell like pheromones if you don't wash yourself every solar cycle during your heat. You don't want that, right?"
Frenzy responded, "Nooo...."
Shockwave said, "Then brought it on yourself, if you don't wash then I'll have to wash you." Frenzy responded, "Fine..."
Shockwave asked, "Do you want a forehelm kiss?"
Frenzy said, "No."
"Good because I'm going to eat you," Shockwave said and pretending to eat him.
"Ah!!!" Frenzy shouted and flailed his arms.
Shockwave picked him up and began drying him off while pretending to eat him. Frenzy whimpered and shivered from the cold as he was dried.
Shockwave began putting a warm blanket around him and said, "Someone cold?" Frenzy responded, "I feel better now."
Shockwave asked, "Has anyone been creepy to you?"
Frenzy said, "No..." Shockwave said, "You aren't lying?" Frenzy said, "No..."
Shockwave asked, "Do you want to watch a horror movie or a big monster movie?" Frenzy exclaimed, "Monster movie!"
Shockwave picked him up and took him to the holoflick screen before loading in a monster movie.
Frenzy grinned and got comfortable.
"Rumble, we are watching a monster movie!" Shockwave shouted.
Rumble ran into the room and got on the couch.
Shockwave patted their helms and said, "Now me and Soundwave are going to be busy, promise not to fight?"
Frenzy, in unison said, "Promise!"
Rumble, in unison said, "Promise!"
Shockwave went to Soundwave and said, "I'm sorry, I get very parental around them." Soundwave responded, "Apologies accepted."
"I'm grateful that I didn't act like a horror story to them..." Shockwave said and 'kissed' him. Soundwave kissed Shockwave back.
Shockwave grabbed his aft.
Soundwave's red visor flickered and he said, "Statement: You are getting bold."
Shockwave asked, "How bold?~" Soundwave answered, "Very bold~"
