0 (The beans Drift dreams of with Optimus)
Okay don’t judge me but I actually do have an OC hatchling already thought up for them lol, and I’m using his description mostly because our muses haven’t gotten the chance to interact much, so I can’t build a bean specific to your muse just yet, so here’s this lil guy to fill the space until then maybe. ♥
How do they have a bean? (Include your headcanons!)Oh geez, uh… it would take a whole post on its own to describe my headcanon for Tyran babs, but basically: spark merge, the frame of whoever ends up with the newspark reformats slightly in order to build and hold a pod (like, literally, the pods from RoTF), and then it hatches… And it, like, literally crawls its way out between the carrier’s plating lol
Would they have one bean or more than one bean? If more, how manyOne precious little bab. ♥
What’s the bean’s shape? Size?He’s a biggun, made up of mostly rounded, smooth plating; can fit in Drift’s arms comfortably, but of course Optimus is huge, so the hatchling always appears small to others whenever he holds him. Until they try to hold him themselves, and they realize oh, he big.
Is their bean an exceptionally cuddly squishy blob or no?When he’s awake no. He’s an inquisitive, exploratory hatchling, and is more focused on looking around than cuddles; but when he’s tired though he gets much more cuddly.
Does their bean have basic protoform appendages forming yet?He has OP’s finials, and he has an ornament on his helm similar to how Drift has his crests, but it looks more akin to a knight’s helm. ♥
How much is their bean dependent on them?Being a big ole baby, he requires frequent feeding in order to maintain his growth. First with just energon, but eventually he’ll require more metals to help facilitate his growth.
Who does the bean take after more physically?Optimus, but depending on when they had him and whether Drift was blue or red at the time he would either come out one or the other.
Personality-wise, who is the bean more like?He shares traits with both of them. Quiet, curious about his surroundings, well-spoken when he actually develops the capacity for speech, if a little too blunt at times. He doesn’t have much of a temper though, even for a baby.
How does their bean interact with other grown mechs?Having a big mech like Optimus as one of his creators, he’s not intimidated by most other mechs; he’ll stare and watch, talk to them if he’s so inclined, but if anyone tries to pick him up besides his creators he will struggle because do not want.
How does their bean interact with other protoforms?He’s actually more comfortable around adults. It doesn’t start out that way, but after one too many times accidentally getting carried away with his playmates, he starts to become wary of his size and strength over others, and he shies away from playing with those who are smaller.
What sounds does their bean make? Are they quiet, make low booping, high beepings, or are they a wee lil screecher?He doesn’t make a whole lot of noise, but he peeps whenever he wants his creators’ attention for something, whether that’s energon, or just to show them something interesting that’s caught his optics.
How does their bean move about?Hatched already with the strength and coordination to toddle around. What a talented little bab. ♥
Where and how often does their bean like to snooze?On OP’s bosom. lol He likes to sleep with Drift too, but Optimus is bigger, and has a wider chest perfect for laying on. There’s some obvious favoritism going on here hahah

😅 - an accidental text
to Hot RodOptimus: If it’s uncomfortable for you, I want you to let me know, okay? You’re my best friend. I would never want my feelings for Optimus or anyone else to get in the way of that.
to Optimus: SHIT. THAT WASN’T FOR YOU. PLEASE IGNORE THAT. THAT WAS FOR HOT ROD. I’M SORRY. IGNORE THAT.

💔 - a heartbreaking text
to Optimus: It’s not because I don’t care about you. Optimus, you know that I do. I care about you so much, and I feel so much for you that sometimes I don’t even know what to do with myself. But I know that your role in the universe is bigger than me. It’s bigger than us. Thank you for everything you’ve given me. You’ll always mean the world to me and hold a special place in my heart, but I can’t keep holding you back. I never want you to be torn between your duty and I. I won’t ask you to choose, so I think it’s time for me to let you go.
😵 - an exhausted text
to Optimus: I feel like I haven’t slept in days. Sometimes I miss you so much that it’s like my entire body aches and doesn’t want to work properly. I still love you. I know it was me. I know that I did this, but I can’t help it. So, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, just remember that somebody loves you.

I have no such phobia.
NO SUCH PHOBIA his ass! This wasn’t the FIRST time the thought had crossed his mind about bathing the mech, but it was the first time he voiced the question. It should be fun, right? No one ever got HURT cleaning their cars && trucks before, so why now? But the inventor isn’t BLIND to the visible squint thrown his way before the reply. ❝ Wow, yeah, I TOTALLY believe you. There’s no way a bot like YOU is afraid of a simple hose-down. ❞ Cade replies sarcastically && with a roll of his eyes, he’s walking forward with the sponge in hand, TESTING the Autobot leader in the most subtle way he can. ❝ You’re filthy && you’re meeting presidents and prime ministers. You NEED to make a good IMPRESSION. ❞

Starscream had scheduled this and made sure that he wouldn’t have too much responsibilities getting in the way- either way, his guest could always make it back on their own if something ever were to happen. “Welcome to our Cybertron, Optimus.” The lord said upon seeing the other mech pass through the spacebridge. “And don’t be surprised if some people become excited at your sight... many believe you to be some space messiah and we have many believers on planet grounds. Come with me.”
With this, Starscream turned and begun to lead the way- “Any place in particular you wish to visit? or... questions you might have?”

Ahiru has no idea what this thing is. It’s big and kinda scary so she’s just gonna stand really really still and hope it either shows that it’s a nice thing, whatever it is, or goes away.
