Imagine Knockout/Ratchet Hearing Their Blind Charge Is Going Into Surgery
(A/N: Oooooo, Ik what imagine ya talkin’ about anon! Of course it’s okay! ^^)
Tfp Knockout /Tfa Ratchet
Knockout hears about the surgery through Soundwave, only because the red con’s constant droning about why his charge was taking so long to get out of school/work was really annoying him
as soon as the display is put onto Soundwave’s visor, Knockout just stops, optics wide and mouth partially open from when he was about to say more about his s/o
at first he’s pretty irked, why hadn’t they told them?! But he doesn’t have much time to dwell on it as the next thing he knows is there’s a ground bridge open via Soundwave and he realizes that the surgery is today
he rushes through, finding himself behind the large hospital building in a dark alley
after managing to find a place to park, he rushes in to the front desk in his holoform
the lady at the desk is gawking at him, and I mean who wouldn’t, even in his holoform he’s pretty dang handsome, and while Knockout would love to stay and bask in the flustered presence of the nurse, turning on his suave to get more attention, he’s too preoccupied with finding the one person he’s loyal to
after being directed to the waiting area, he sits there anxiously, bouncing his leg while resting his arm on it
his charge had been blind since before they met, and while he picked fun at them in the beginning for it, once they were a thing and maybe even a bit before that, he always felt concerned about their well-being
Knockout thought about doing a procedure himself, but other then not knowing a single thing about human biology, that last time he worked on an eye, or rather optic, left him with some bad memories he’d rather not look back on
not right now anyways, and to help distract himself from thinking about his partner from the past, he instead flooded his processor with questions of what his charge would think when they saw him; would they think he was hot? Would they be even more stunned when they saw his actual form? What would be the first thing they’d want to see? A movie? The starry night skies of Nevada?
this is what he does for the next few hours till he’s told by the doctor that he can see them now
after their friends/family have left he’ll walk in to greet his s/o, thinking of what to say, something along the lines of indirectly while jokingly bringing up why they didn’t tell him
but, then they look away from the window at hearing his steps, and he just freezes upon seeing their gaze directed at him, focused directly on him
“huh…thought you’d be taller”
the comment and the sly smirk on his s/o’s face bring him back to focus, eliciting a love filled chuckle from the red doc
Ratchet doesn’t even wait for the kids to finish telling him about his charges surgery; just transforms and tells them to get in or he’s leaving them at the base
normally he’d ask Optimus if it’d be alright for him to leave, seeing as he only ever did so if only told to, which was very rare, but since the Prime didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so Ratchet booked it out of the base and straight to the hospital
the kids are clinging to the seats for dear life, and Miko snaps at him why he’s speeding so much, hell, why does he even have his sirens on
Ratchet’s just like, I don’t know Miko? Maybe because my charge never told me that they were going into surgery and now I’m mad? Maybe because I’m a bit irritated that they’d figure telling y’all first instead of me? Maybe because human technology is so under advance and anything can go wrong, and his s/o could be in danger?!
he seems very irritated on the outside, very snippy to the kids demand to slow down and calm down, but only those who truly know him know that that’s not necessarily the case
if anything, he’s super worried about his s/o
he knows first hand how primitive, as he would put it, human technology is, and after sometime of learning human biology and the ropes of their medical field/s from Ms Darby, and what horrible outcomes that can come from them, he had every right to be racing through the streets, alarms blaring, and horns honking
it might seem slightly uncharacteristic for sure, but Ratchets lost a lot in this war, and as a medic who couldn’t save a soldiers voice box with high tech technology, how can one expect a human medic to fix the sight of another with tools his race deemed child’s play
as soon as they get there, he’s speed walking inside in his holoform, the children following right behind
the lady at the desk looks like she’s about to pass out when this old man slams his hands on the counter and very aggressively demands for (y,n)
Ms Darby comes and saves the day, telling the lady to go on break and she’ll handle them
she tells Ratchet he’ll have to wait, and directs him and the kids to a waiting room
the whole time they’re waiting, Ratchets mumbling things with a scowl, and the kids can occasionally hear a few such as, “primitive”, “can not believe!”, “the nerve of them!”, “when they get out I swear…”
finally they’re called by the doctor, and are told that they can see his s/o now, but with the way Ratchets stomping off toward his s/o’s room Jack holds the two others back advising that it would be best to give them some time alone
as soon as Ratchet opens that door, he’s already chewing his charges ears out
even when they look at him, eyes wide and taking him in, the old doc continues to rant on about how they should have told him and a million other things
he was in the middle of a rant, but that comment stopped him like a dear caught in headlights
his brows furrow and he’s about to go off some more when he hears a melody all to familiar to him
with the sound of his s/o giggles, indicating that what they said about his appearance was a fun little jab at him, Ratchet finally takes a breath and sighs
a soft grin warms its way onto his face, as he watches his s/o’s eyes crinkle in the corners from smiling, a loving and happy gaze starring back at him
