+ (Knockout.) Wants to talk.
Breakdown looked around the seemingly abandoned room, Shockwave’s lab needed to be taken apart and see what could be salvaged for future use as weapons for war probably wouldn’t be needed anytime soon. Breakdown had offered to check it out since he was a Decepticon and if Shockwave had anything locked up breakdown was the one who was most likely to get into it though something caught his optic. It looked like an incomplete experiment to him and he couldn’t help himself, he walked over to it to check it out starting to mess with it after a few nano-clicks he didn’t expect it to turn on and do something. He didn’t even know what that something was he knew he was blasted back and found himself on the floor with a groan of slight pain.

“It was perverse and disgusting…” he murmurs softly, leaning his helm into the touch, looking at Breakdown again. “I… I hated it, hearing his voice coming out of your mouth…”
He goes quiet, letting the other’s touch comfort him. He didn’t care if this Breakdown wasn’t his Breakdown. It was still Breakdown, no matter what. He could hear it in his voice, feel it in the way he touched him, and see it in the way he moved, even. “I feel like this is just a dream I am having while awake…” he murmurs softly, watching him carefully, “And soon, I’ll wake up and you’ll be gone again.”

Breakdown listened dispite his want to stop Knockout, he didnt like hearing about Silas but he did want to hear KO speak. Just listening to Knockout talk was something he thought wouldn’t ever happen again so he listened. “It won’t ever happen again.” Breakdown said it like a promise which he intended to keep.
Hearing what else KO said he held Knockout’s shoulder a littler tighter though not enough to cause any sort of discomfort before removing his servo from KO’s shoulder altogether and instead wrapped his arm around Knockout. “If it is, I don’t want to wake up. I want to be here, with you, for as long as I can.” Breakdown wanted to enjoy the time with KO though he assumed it wasn’t going to be long he didnt care.
Knockout gives a small smile, going quiet as he feel Breakdown’s arm wrapping around him and he cuddles closer. He missed the quiet moments like this. “Bumblebee sent me in here to categorize Shockwave’s weapons and abandoned projects…” he says softly, looking around the room. “I managed to do more than half. This device here was the last one.”
Breakdown was happy to have Knockout close to him staying quiet and just enjoying the peace and time he had with KO though hearing what Knockout said he made a small sound. “I was doing the same thing, got distracted though and that thing was the first one I messed with.” Breakdown said in amusement, of course KO had managed to get through more of Shockwaves lab then Breakdown.
He gives a laugh, his optics sparkling in the dim lighting. “It helps that it used to be my lab before it was Shockwave’s.” He says quietly, “It is easier to find things.”
He hums categorizing the item as dangerous and do not use before humming happily. “There!” he says excitedly. “All finished! Hey… wanna go get some high-grade?”
Breakdown loved to hear Knockout laugh, it always made him happy and even smiled hearing it. He nodded a little as well. “That would make it easier, wouldn’t it?”
Breakdown frowned a little at the question though. “Are you sure I should, I mean I’d love to but… I dont know how the others will react.” Breakdown wasn’t sure if the other Autobots would react to both of them being around, or was this really just a dream and it didn’t matter either way?
“I want to be with you, Breakdown…” he whispers softly, looking at his pedes sadly. “You… may not be my universe’s Breakdown specifically… but you are so very like him. The other… know how lonely I have become… I am sure they will understand.”
Breakdown frowned for only a moment then he spoke. “Knockout I’ll be close, though I might be a bit slow.” Breakdown was generally slow anyway but he wanted to look around and see if there were any other differences between his own universe and this one. “Though I hope that the differences continue to be good ones.”
“I have been moving around a little slower than usual myself lately.” he admits softly, linking their digits together carefully. He slowly leads the way out of the lab. “Ratchet noticed it and scanned me for injuries but couldn’t find anything… and I just know that Bumblebee has been forcing me to take fuel and energon. I have no clue what has come over those two.”
“Moving slower?” Breakdown asked a bit curious since Knockout was a fast bot and seeing KO be slow was odd but Breakdown could think of a solution. He held Knockout’s servo gently then thought for a moment as he followed KO. “Maybe it’s stress from the war, you did say you were having trouble recharging earlier so it could just be that?” Breakdown offered the best solution he could come up with off the top of his helm, though he wondered if he should ask Ratchet and Bee about it.
“Yeah.. I know, weird, right?” he says softly, slowly leading Breakdown off of the Nemesis. “My normal way of de-stressing is racing… but, I suppose that has changed since the war ended, though.”
He hums softly, gazing around their surroundings for a moment before he gently hugs the lab’s project manifest to his chassis with his free arm.
Breakdown looked around a little as they walked thinking a little then he looked at Knockout frowning for only a nano-click before he smiled softly. "Would a nice, long, Buffing session help you relax? I mean, I'd be more then happy to give you as much attention as you want."
Breakdown's attention was then got by Bumblebee causing him to be a bit more tense since he didn't know what to expect but he definitely didn't expect such a casual reaction which made him very confused, shouldn't bee have realized that he was there when he hadn't been before however his attention was drawn to something else. He hadn't heard of Silly Bittys before but he couldn't afford many luxuries before or during the war for different reasons, so he just looked at them a bit curious listening to what Knockout said about them. "Oh, that reminds me. I shouldn't probably make some energon goodies." Breakdown said more to himself
Breakdown then watched Bee leave before turning his attention back to Knockout. "Well, uh, that was nice of him."
