Prowl @cyber-ninja - Tumblr Blog

I don't know why I made this

Big pant or or big ass

Do you see what I'm getting at

trust me, this was on purpose

Not to mention all the TFA designs had some insane thighs

TFA was the reason I stopped being insecure about my thighs, because all of the cool robots have giant monster truck thighs and its wonderful

I have a love/hate relationship with my thighs💔 but DAMN alien robot thighs..👀😛 the artists went crazy on their designs

Like what is he doing.. what is this.. why are his thighs so nice.. I'm crying

Also I.. really like how the legs are drawn here? Like not even in a suggestive way or anything I just think they look really nice

I love character designs that the legs get bigger near the foot do you understand what I'm saying I'm half asleep rn

Yes I understand completely! I really love that type of design too. It's like built-in leg warmers and it's very very cute. I love it. I always used to draw my characters with legs like that, and arms kinda like that too.

I was kinda copying the way that TFA bots are drawn without even realising it, haha. Makes sense though, it's fun to draw that way.

I loooove drawing that way it's so interesting and shapey and I like characters with cool shapes

yess shapes are the best !!! and all of the characters shape language is so different,, its like you can tell what kind of character they are just by looking at them. it's super duper cool and i love it

[Gentle knock on the medbay door]

-@cyber-ninja

Bee lifted his helm enough to look up from what he was doing, eyeing the door.

He was on his med-berth, toying with the parts that'd been taken out of him and replaced. He planned on making something.

" Come in "

[opens the door, then steps in the room and clears his throat]

"Hey, Bee."

Bee stared at him, shock clear on his faceplate. The parts in his servos dropped to the small pile of the rest on the berth.

Then, ever so slowly, he shook his helm.

" No, " he drew out the word just a little, " No, this isn't real. "

"Yeah, that's what I thought at first too."

[Gives a hesitant, nervous half-laugh]

"But it's real. I'm... I'm sorry I left, I- ...."

" No. No no no. I must be high again aha yeah that's it, " it was clear he was trying to convince himself that's what it was, " Just took one too many meds or something without noticing– you- you died. You can't be here- "

".... I'm sorry, could I hug you?"

[avoiding eye contact, shifting weight]

It looked like he was about to argue again, but his words faltered, unable to object. Or really, unable to speak.

But he nodded.

[Practically sprints over, wrapping his arms around the smaller bot with a LOT of force, but not enough to hurt]

"I missed you.... a LOT..I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.... Primus, I missed you...."

At first, Bumblebee didn't move.

But then he actually . . Felt it.

This was real.

Prowl was real.

Prowl was here.

He instantly clung onto him, burying his faceplate in the crook of Prowl's neck, and he simply . . Held him. Tightly. For the first time in a full earth year.

And he cried.

But he was too caught up in the moment to notice or care.

[tightens the embrace, still being very careful not to hurt Bee in any way. He feels optical fluid well up behind his optics and doesn't try to hold it back anymore, letting it stream down his faceplate.]

"I'm so sorry."

[his voice hitches slightly, still not letting go of the embrace]

" We watched you die, " he whispered, voice pained, " i- I helped bury you– how are you- you can't be- you're not supposed to- " Bee squeezed him tighter, although it wasn't very noticeable; he hadn't regained much strength in his arms.

[very slightly loosens hold, but is still holding on pretty tightly]

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I.... I had to do what I did. I don't regret it. But I do regret leaving you. I regret it with my entire being."

[clears his throat]

"Leaving all of you. I... I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay. But I had to do it, Bee, I had to do it. There was no other way. And it hurt. It hurt so bad. I didn't want to ... I didn't want... I.... I shouldn't have left you."

" You don't understand- you- you left and I- " his vents hitched, and finally he looked up to Prowl's face, although he kept his embrace tight, " Prowl, I didn't- I wasn't- you were- " It was hard to understand him between the quick words, some of them slurring together and some being separated unevenly by his tears.

"... you what? Breathe, Bee. Go slowly."

[loosens the embrace again, this time to maintain better eye contact]

" I- Prowl . . " He couldn't even say anything. He didn't even know what he was trying to say.

"I'm here now. And I promise I'm not going away again."

[he pulled back from the hug slightly, maintaining eye contact]

"Are you okay?"

As soon as Prowl started to pull away, Bee clung tighter, pulling him back. Like if he let go, he'd fade away again.

He didn't answer the question verbally.

[gaze softens and returns the hug]

"...Hey. It's okay. It's okay now, right? It's okay?"

For a few kliks, there wasn't a response.

Until finally, Bee muttered, " You're here? Really? You're not- you're not leaving? This is real? "

"I'm here. Really. I'm not going to leave. I'm never going to leave. I'm sorry."

[*sniffle*]

"I'm so sorry."

" I missed you. I missed you so much. Prowl- you were gone for a full earth year, and- and you missed so much- I never thought I'd see you again- "

"It's okay, I'm here, I'm back, and I'm not going away again. I missed you too. So much it made me physically sick. When I woke up, I... I had to get back to you. All of you, I mean, the whole group. Everyone. But.... I had to get back to you."

" I thought about you every solar-cycle . . I- I kept recordings and pictures of you and I would talk to them . . Prowl i- I missed you . . "

"Well. Now you have the real thing to talk to."

[slightly crooked, pathetic little smile]

"I... I know I complained about it a lot, but I really missed listening to you talk for hours on end. It was....too quiet without you."

" There's so much that's happened . . Things have been so chaotic- I have so much to tell you- bots to introduce you to- "

"I can't wait to hear all about everything that happened. I... I probably missed out on a lot, huh?"

" A full year . . But the most interesting stuff has only happened in the past few months "

"Ah. Tell me?"

" There was a crazy dark energon outbreak a few months back. I dunno if you know what- what dark energon is, it basically makes bots go crazy. Like zombies kinda. Haha I . . I might've started it . . " He began, pulling his helm back and rubbing at his face with a shaky servo before leaning onto Prowl again.

" But things got back under control. Only a couple bots got infected, and they're all okay now. "

[chokes back a laugh]

"The moment I'm not there to watch over you, the literal apocalypse starts. I should've known. Well.... that sounds very hectic. A lot of crazy adventuring, I'm sure."

" Basically. Oh-! Important thing to know! We've had some crazy multiverse things going on. There's at least five Soundwaves and thirteen Blitzwings! Everyone looks a bit different. "

[blinks in surprise]

"I didn't know that could happen. I always suspected the multiverse theory might be true, but I never thought.... huh. That's very interesting..."

" Anyway, with that information, " he continued, " I got attacked by one of the Blitzwings. Purple and yellow one with a red visor and only one personality, no accent. He banged me up pretty badly, but Ratchet fixed me up. My vocalizer is still a bit damaged, sometimes my voice doesn't work. "

"A Blitzwing with only one personality? That's weird and unsettling. He... hurt you."

[que unrecognisable facial expression]

"That conflict was resolved, right? Are you okay?"

" I'm fine. Can't take me down that easily! Although I really thought I was scrap metal . . " He glanced away, " Like I said, only thing still affected is my vocalizer. But it's fine. Anyway, speaking of Blitzwings . . "

"Oh? Are you getting into trouble with every Blitzwing you see, or...?"

" Not exactly . . " He laughed lightly, a faint blue blush tinting his faceplate as he looked down with a small grin, " I . . I've got a conjux. It's –uh– . . It's Blitzwing. Not the one that tried to kill me, obviously. Our Blitzwing. Accent, three faces, all that. "

[que unreadable expression, part 2]

"Ah. A... conjux? And it's... Blitzwing. Of course. I'm, um, happy for you."

[clears his throat]

"Yes, I'm happy for you. Congratulations."

" Yeah . . " He nodded slowly, " he's . . Good now. We were together for a little while, and had an official ceremony not super long ago, "

"That's.... that's wonderful. I'm happy for you."

[under his breath]

"...Why wouldn't I be? As your friend..."

[clears his throat YET AGAIN]

"I'm sure you're very happy. I'm glad."

" I am. " He confirmed, " he's a good conjux. " There was a silence between them for a klik.

" I . . I still miss you, y'know. What we could've . . "

"We couldn't've been anything. You know that, I know that. We weren't anything. It wouldn't work."

[The words sound harsher then he meant them to]

"....I'm sorry. I just... I wish..."

[he shakes his head]

"It doesn't matter. I'm sorry. You're happy now, and that's what matters. The past is the past, and whatever one-sided feelings I had for you don't matter anymore. I'm glad you're happy."

" One . . One-sided? " Bee pulled back and blinked at him, tilting his helm like a confused dog, " Prowl- you didn't know? "

"I didn't know what? Listen, I'm sorry that I pushed my feelings on you. I won't do that anymore. You.. you have a conjux now. I won't interfere with your life just because of a stupid crush. It'll go away."

[Glances over, then goes back to staring at the wall]

" Prowl. " Bee grabbed the sides of his helm, although it wasn't a strong grip at all, making him face him, " You were the love of my life. I was obsessed with you. I still am. I just . . Don't want to do anything without Blitzwing knowing. You really couldn't tell? I was crushing on you hard. "

"I- you- you, me- you had- you- you- love- you- me-"

[he goes completely still, a bright blue blush appearing on his faceplate]

"You- you had crush me?"

" Huge one! " Bee laughed, " I thought you knew. Did you think all the flirting was a joke? Some of it, sure, yeah, I was just messing around, but most of it wasn't! "

[shakes his head vigerously]

"Okay. So, this whole time, you liked me? And neither of us did anything about it?"

[laughs]

"Wow, I really should have made a move sooner. I guess it's too late now. That.... this is unfortunate. We both like each other, but since you have a conjux, our hands are tied. That's... that's alright. I can live with that."

" It wouldn't be too late for me. I'm polyamorous, I would love to have multiple partners, " he looked down again, clearing his throat, " uh . . Enough about that. Anyways- there's still uh- a lot you've missed out on) "

"Ah. Um, yes. Please, er, continue."

" Well . . On the topic of families, I have a sparkling now . . "

"Oh! Congratulations!"

[blinks in surprise, then cracks a genuine smile]

"How old?"

" Only a couple earth months. There was a magic anon going around and giving bots sparklings, it was crazy. I named the sparkling Arien! They just learned how to sit up "

"Still under the warranty then."

[he joked, the smile brightening]

"That's wonderful. It's always such a joy to learn of new sparklings- especially yours! The name is beautiful too."

" Thank you! I put a lot of thought into the name. You should totally meet them! They're adorable! I'm pretty sure they're with Blitzwing right now . . "

"I would love to meet them. Both of them, actually. I wouldn't mind being introduced properly to Blitzwing, considering we've only met at the battlefield."

" Yeah! He's changed a lot, big softie he is. Uh . . I'd walk you to his room, but . . " He glanced down, vaguely gesturing to his legs, " Paralyzed from a frame rebuild. Ratchet isn't letting me try to walk yet. "

"Frame rebuild? Cosmetic, or..... ?"

[optical ridges crease in worry]

"Are you alright?"

" Internal. A lot of my systems were fragged up because I ignored repairs for vorns. I was out for four days after the rebuild and apparently high the day I woke up. I'm good now, just recovering. Ratchet says I have about four weeks to a month before I can move around normally. It is torture being so still. "

"I can imagine that. You really should go to your routine repairs, though, there's a reason you're supposed to get check ups every once in a while. I could keep you company here for a while, if you'd like. It seems... lonely in here by yourself. Especially since you can't move around."

" It has been a bit lonely . . " He agreed, nodding, " And I know I know, routine repairs and whatever. I still sometimes go to them. Most of the problems started when I was in training camp or when we were repairing space bridges. Uh- that was . . Vorns ago that probably doesn't make this any better ignore that- "

"Please take care of yourself. You matter to a lot of people, and it stresses them out when you're not well. And it's awful to be hurt. Training of all varieties is intense and bots can get very seriously injured, so keeping in touch with yourself is incredibly important. I'll stay with you to keep you company, if not to make sure you don't accidentally injure yourself farther."

" I know I know! I promised Ratchet I would follow his instructions down to the letter while I'm recovering. But after that I'm going back to my 'reckless behavior'. I'm gonna need to do something fun after not moving around for a full month. "

"Well, I can't really argue with that. As long as you don't get hurt, and trust me, I will be supervising whatever stupid thing you do. I'll ask Ratchet if I could teach you some exersises that might help you get your strength back faster, like a human 'physical therapist'. It's way too early for that right now, of course, but it's an idea that's worth playing around with."

" There's actually another bot that wants to do that with me. But I wouldn't mind having two . . So sure. "

"Ah. Well, if you're really fine with me joining in, I really would like to help. To... make up for lost time."

" Yes, " he said it maybe just a bit too quickly, " I mean . . Yeah. Sure. That's fine, y'know, it's whatever. . "

[he definately noticed that]

"I'm glad. I'll ask Ratchet when that can start. Anything else I missed out on?"

" Uh . . There was- uh . . " He looked off towards a wall, audial horns pressing down in thought, " There's a lot. I think. I can't remember it all right now . . I think my memory files are a bit messed up. Maybe ask someone else what's been going on. "

#in character #sorry for late response i fell asleep

"That's okay. To be expected, actually. The only other bots I've seen have been Ratchet and this....... 'Rumble' character."

I don't know why I made this

Big pant or or big ass

Do you see what I'm getting at

Not to mention all the TFA designs had some insane thighs

TFA was the reason I stopped being insecure about my thighs, because all of the cool robots have giant monster truck thighs and its wonderful

I have a love/hate relationship with my thighs💔 but DAMN alien robot thighs..👀😛 the artists went crazy on their designs

Like what is he doing.. what is this.. why are his thighs so nice.. I'm crying

"Ah. A... conjux? And it's... Blitzwing. Of course. I'm, um, happy for you."

[clears his throat]

"Yes, I'm happy for you. Congratulations."

" Yeah . . " He nodded slowly, " he's . . Good now. We were together for a little while, and had an official ceremony not super long ago, "

"That's.... that's wonderful. I'm happy for you."

[under his breath]

"...Why wouldn't I be? As your friend..."

[clears his throat YET AGAIN]

"I'm sure you're very happy. I'm glad."

" I am. " He confirmed, " he's a good conjux. " There was a silence between them for a klik.

" I . . I still miss you, y'know. What we could've . . "

"We couldn't've been anything. You know that, I know that. We weren't anything. It wouldn't work."

[The words sound harsher then he meant them to]

"....I'm sorry. I just... I wish..."

[he shakes his head]

"It doesn't matter. I'm sorry. You're happy now, and that's what matters. The past is the past, and whatever one-sided feelings I had for you don't matter anymore. I'm glad you're happy."

" One . . One-sided? " Bee pulled back and blinked at him, tilting his helm like a confused dog, " Prowl- you didn't know? "

[Glances over, then goes back to staring at the wall]

"I- you- you, me- you had- you- you- love- you- me-"

[he goes completely still, a bright blue blush appearing on his faceplate]

"You- you had crush me?"

" Huge one! " Bee laughed, " I thought you knew. Did you think all the flirting was a joke? Some of it, sure, yeah, I was just messing around, but most of it wasn't! "

[shakes his head vigerously]

"Okay. So, this whole time, you liked me? And neither of us did anything about it?"

[laughs]

"Ah. Um, yes. Please, er, continue."

" Well . . On the topic of families, I have a sparkling now . . "

"Oh! Congratulations!"

[blinks in surprise, then cracks a genuine smile]

"How old?"

" Only a couple earth months. There was a magic anon going around and giving bots sparklings, it was crazy. I named the sparkling Arien! They just learned how to sit up "

"Still under the warranty then."

[he joked, the smile brightening]

"That's wonderful. It's always such a joy to learn of new sparklings- especially yours! The name is beautiful too."

" Thank you! I put a lot of thought into the name. You should totally meet them! They're adorable! I'm pretty sure they're with Blitzwing right now . . "

"I would love to meet them. Both of them, actually. I wouldn't mind being introduced properly to Blitzwing, considering we've only met at the battlefield."

"Frame rebuild? Cosmetic, or..... ?"

[optical ridges crease in worry]

"Are you alright?"

" There's actually another bot that wants to do that with me. But I wouldn't mind having two . . So sure. "

"Ah. Well, if you're really fine with me joining in, I really would like to help. To... make up for lost time."

[Gentle knock on the medbay door]

-@cyber-ninja

Bee lifted his helm enough to look up from what he was doing, eyeing the door.

He was on his med-berth, toying with the parts that'd been taken out of him and replaced. He planned on making something.

" Come in "

[opens the door, then steps in the room and clears his throat]

"Hey, Bee."

Bee stared at him, shock clear on his faceplate. The parts in his servos dropped to the small pile of the rest on the berth.

Then, ever so slowly, he shook his helm.

" No, " he drew out the word just a little, " No, this isn't real. "

"Yeah, that's what I thought at first too."

[Gives a hesitant, nervous half-laugh]

"But it's real. I'm... I'm sorry I left, I- ...."

".... I'm sorry, could I hug you?"

[avoiding eye contact, shifting weight]

It looked like he was about to argue again, but his words faltered, unable to object. Or really, unable to speak.

But he nodded.

[Practically sprints over, wrapping his arms around the smaller bot with a LOT of force, but not enough to hurt]

"I missed you.... a LOT..I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.... Primus, I missed you...."

At first, Bumblebee didn't move.

But then he actually . . Felt it.

This was real.

Prowl was real.

Prowl was here.

He instantly clung onto him, burying his faceplate in the crook of Prowl's neck, and he simply . . Held him. Tightly. For the first time in a full earth year.

And he cried.

But he was too caught up in the moment to notice or care.

"I'm so sorry."

[his voice hitches slightly, still not letting go of the embrace]

[very slightly loosens hold, but is still holding on pretty tightly]

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I.... I had to do what I did. I don't regret it. But I do regret leaving you. I regret it with my entire being."

[clears his throat]

"... you what? Breathe, Bee. Go slowly."

[loosens the embrace again, this time to maintain better eye contact]

" I- Prowl . . " He couldn't even say anything. He didn't even know what he was trying to say.

"I'm here now. And I promise I'm not going away again."

[he pulled back from the hug slightly, maintaining eye contact]

"Are you okay?"

As soon as Prowl started to pull away, Bee clung tighter, pulling him back. Like if he let go, he'd fade away again.

He didn't answer the question verbally.

[gaze softens and returns the hug]

"...Hey. It's okay. It's okay now, right? It's okay?"

For a few kliks, there wasn't a response.

Until finally, Bee muttered, " You're here? Really? You're not- you're not leaving? This is real? "

"I'm here. Really. I'm not going to leave. I'm never going to leave. I'm sorry."

[*sniffle*]

"I'm so sorry."

" I missed you. I missed you so much. Prowl- you were gone for a full earth year, and- and you missed so much- I never thought I'd see you again- "

" I thought about you every solar-cycle . . I- I kept recordings and pictures of you and I would talk to them . . Prowl i- I missed you . . "

"Well. Now you have the real thing to talk to."

[slightly crooked, pathetic little smile]

"I... I know I complained about it a lot, but I really missed listening to you talk for hours on end. It was....too quiet without you."

" There's so much that's happened . . Things have been so chaotic- I have so much to tell you- bots to introduce you to- "

"I can't wait to hear all about everything that happened. I... I probably missed out on a lot, huh?"

" A full year . . But the most interesting stuff has only happened in the past few months "

"Ah. Tell me?"

" But things got back under control. Only a couple bots got infected, and they're all okay now. "

[chokes back a laugh]

"The moment I'm not there to watch over you, the literal apocalypse starts. I should've known. Well.... that sounds very hectic. A lot of crazy adventuring, I'm sure."

" Basically. Oh-! Important thing to know! We've had some crazy multiverse things going on. There's at least five Soundwaves and thirteen Blitzwings! Everyone looks a bit different. "

[blinks in surprise]

"I didn't know that could happen. I always suspected the multiverse theory might be true, but I never thought.... huh. That's very interesting..."

"A Blitzwing with only one personality? That's weird and unsettling. He... hurt you."

[que unrecognisable facial expression]

"That conflict was resolved, right? Are you okay?"

"Oh? Are you getting into trouble with every Blitzwing you see, or...?"

[que unreadable expression, part 2]

"Ah. A... conjux? And it's... Blitzwing. Of course. I'm, um, happy for you."

"I... I know I complained about it a lot, but I really missed listening to you talk for hours on end. It was....too quiet without you."

" There's so much that's happened . . Things have been so chaotic- I have so much to tell you- bots to introduce you to- "

"I can't wait to hear all about everything that happened. I... I probably missed out on a lot, huh?"

" A full year . . But the most interesting stuff has only happened in the past few months "

"Ah. Tell me?"

" But things got back under control. Only a couple bots got infected, and they're all okay now. "

[chokes back a laugh]

"The moment I'm not there to watch over you, the literal apocalypse starts. I should've known. Well.... that sounds very hectic. A lot of crazy adventuring, I'm sure."

" Basically. Oh-! Important thing to know! We've had some crazy multiverse things going on. There's at least five Soundwaves and thirteen Blitzwings! Everyone looks a bit different. "

[blinks in surprise]

"I didn't know that could happen. I always suspected the multiverse theory might be true, but I never thought.... huh. That's very interesting..."

"A Blitzwing with only one personality? That's weird and unsettling. He... hurt you."

[que unrecognisable facial expression]

"That conflict was resolved, right? Are you okay?"

"Oh? Are you getting into trouble with every Blitzwing you see, or...?"

[que unreadable expression, part 2]

"Ah. A... conjux? And it's... Blitzwing. Of course. I'm, um, happy for you."

[clears his throat]

"Yes, I'm happy for you. Congratulations."

" Yeah . . " He nodded slowly, " he's . . Good now. We were together for a little while, and had an official ceremony not super long ago, "

"That's.... that's wonderful. I'm happy for you."

[under his breath]

"...Why wouldn't I be? As your friend..."

[clears his throat YET AGAIN]

"I'm sure you're very happy. I'm glad."

" I am. " He confirmed, " he's a good conjux. " There was a silence between them for a klik.

" I . . I still miss you, y'know. What we could've . . "

"We couldn't've been anything. You know that, I know that. We weren't anything. It wouldn't work."

[The words sound harsher then he meant them to]

"....I'm sorry. I just... I wish..."

[he shakes his head]

"It doesn't matter. I'm sorry. You're happy now, and that's what matters. The past is the past, and whatever one-sided feelings I had for you don't matter anymore. I'm glad you're happy."

" One . . One-sided? " Bee pulled back and blinked at him, tilting his helm like a confused dog, " Prowl- you didn't know? "

[Glances over, then goes back to staring at the wall]

"I- you- you, me- you had- you- you- love- you- me-"

[he goes completely still, a bright blue blush appearing on his faceplate]

"You- you had crush me?"

" Huge one! " Bee laughed, " I thought you knew. Did you think all the flirting was a joke? Some of it, sure, yeah, I was just messing around, but most of it wasn't! "

[shakes his head vigerously]

"Okay. So, this whole time, you liked me? And neither of us did anything about it?"

[laughs]

"Ah. Um, yes. Please, er, continue."

" Well . . On the topic of families, I have a sparkling now . . "

"Oh! Congratulations!"

[blinks in surprise, then cracks a genuine smile]

"How old?"

" Only a couple earth months. There was a magic anon going around and giving bots sparklings, it was crazy. I named the sparkling Arien! They just learned how to sit up "

"Still under the warranty then."

[he joked, the smile brightening]

"That's wonderful. It's always such a joy to learn of new sparklings- especially yours! The name is beautiful too."

" Thank you! I put a lot of thought into the name. You should totally meet them! They're adorable! I'm pretty sure they're with Blitzwing right now . . "

"I would love to meet them. Both of them, actually. I wouldn't mind being introduced properly to Blitzwing, considering we've only met at the battlefield."

#in character #they call him Prowl the Worrywart

"Frame rebuild? Cosmetic, or..... ?"

[optical ridges crease in worry]

"Are you alright?"

[A knock on the medbay door. It seems hesitant.]

@cyber-ninja

huh? Come in!

*Ratchet calls, muffled through the door*

[coughs nervously and opens the door]

"....hello again, Ratchet."

*Ratchet looks up, and pauses*

…Prowl?

"It's, um.. been a while, yeah?"

[looks away, avoiding eye contact]

Aren’t you dead?

"Not anymore, apparently."

[paces a few steps, then walks back over to the door]

"I know just about as much as you do."

What the slag?! How are you back? What are you doing here? Actually—

*Ratchet looks towards the back of the medbay, before rushing over, and dragging Prowl out the door*

When did you get back?

*Ratchet whispers urgently*

[almost trips, but ends up stumbling out the door, steadying himself]

"I- I came back online about... a few solar cycles ago. I found this place last solar cycle, and was scouting it out to make sure someone was actually there."

[coughs again]

"I'm.. I'm glad you're here. I was worried that ...."

What? What were you worried about?

"I guess I thought... there might be a chance that nobody was there. It's not plausible, but still. I was... worried."

…that makes sense. When did you come back?

"Just a few solar cycles ago. I must have been, er.... laid to rest on Cybertron, because that's where I woke up. I found the nearest spacebridge and came here."

I see… who else have you seen?

"I've now seen Bee and.... some other, mildly insane bot. It was..... Rumble..?"

Yikes. How’d the meeting with Bee go?

"It was.... emotional. I think he's glad that I'm back."

That’s…good.

I wonder if that’s why he asked me about crying the whole night?

#in character #he just wants an excuse to hang out with bumblebee all day long

"Ah. Maybe I should stay near him.... I don't want him to spiral or anything. Hm."

[Gentle knock on the medbay door]

-@cyber-ninja

Bee lifted his helm enough to look up from what he was doing, eyeing the door.

He was on his med-berth, toying with the parts that'd been taken out of him and replaced. He planned on making something.

" Come in "

[opens the door, then steps in the room and clears his throat]

"Hey, Bee."

Bee stared at him, shock clear on his faceplate. The parts in his servos dropped to the small pile of the rest on the berth.

Then, ever so slowly, he shook his helm.

" No, " he drew out the word just a little, " No, this isn't real. "

"Yeah, that's what I thought at first too."

[Gives a hesitant, nervous half-laugh]

"But it's real. I'm... I'm sorry I left, I- ...."

".... I'm sorry, could I hug you?"

[avoiding eye contact, shifting weight]

It looked like he was about to argue again, but his words faltered, unable to object. Or really, unable to speak.

But he nodded.

[Practically sprints over, wrapping his arms around the smaller bot with a LOT of force, but not enough to hurt]

"I missed you.... a LOT..I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.... Primus, I missed you...."

At first, Bumblebee didn't move.

But then he actually . . Felt it.

This was real.

Prowl was real.

Prowl was here.

He instantly clung onto him, burying his faceplate in the crook of Prowl's neck, and he simply . . Held him. Tightly. For the first time in a full earth year.

And he cried.

But he was too caught up in the moment to notice or care.

"I'm so sorry."

[his voice hitches slightly, still not letting go of the embrace]

[very slightly loosens hold, but is still holding on pretty tightly]

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I.... I had to do what I did. I don't regret it. But I do regret leaving you. I regret it with my entire being."

[clears his throat]

"... you what? Breathe, Bee. Go slowly."

[loosens the embrace again, this time to maintain better eye contact]

" I- Prowl . . " He couldn't even say anything. He didn't even know what he was trying to say.

"I'm here now. And I promise I'm not going away again."

[he pulled back from the hug slightly, maintaining eye contact]

"Are you okay?"

As soon as Prowl started to pull away, Bee clung tighter, pulling him back. Like if he let go, he'd fade away again.

He didn't answer the question verbally.

[gaze softens and returns the hug]

"...Hey. It's okay. It's okay now, right? It's okay?"

For a few kliks, there wasn't a response.

Until finally, Bee muttered, " You're here? Really? You're not- you're not leaving? This is real? "

"I'm here. Really. I'm not going to leave. I'm never going to leave. I'm sorry."

[*sniffle*]

"I'm so sorry."

" I missed you. I missed you so much. Prowl- you were gone for a full earth year, and- and you missed so much- I never thought I'd see you again- "

" I thought about you every solar-cycle . . I- I kept recordings and pictures of you and I would talk to them . . Prowl i- I missed you . . "

"Well. Now you have the real thing to talk to."

[slightly crooked, pathetic little smile]

"I... I know I complained about it a lot, but I really missed listening to you talk for hours on end. It was....too quiet without you."

" There's so much that's happened . . Things have been so chaotic- I have so much to tell you- bots to introduce you to- "
