Valiant Souls

Chapter 4 - Broken Screens

If it weren’t for a notification lighting up Mumbo's phone and alerting him to the time he might have been there all night.

The sun had set many hours ago. Mumbo had expected to have finished his work by that time. By now he was meant to be back at home watching trashy tv and figuring out what he wanted to eat.

Reluctantly, Mumbo put down the soldering iron. He didn’t want to leave this unfinished tonight but surely it wouldn’t hurt to take a break.

With little else to help him unwind, Mumbo shot Scar a message.

A Medic’s Guide To Self Control

—

Self control was a beautiful skill to master.

Needed not from any sort of desire for a perceived stoicism but rather a matter of avoiding complete social suicide.

What could be so detrimental as to require so much focus?

Knockout didn’t like to make a habit of answering that question.

In other words: Knockout has a fainting disorder and hides it by keeping a tight hold on his emotions, and Breakdown makes it hard to not be emotional.

Weirdly nervous to post this even though I’ve posted my writing before (maybe because this time it’s not a collab) but anyway I wrote a KOBD thing :)

My Breakdown

His gaze hooked onto something. Another bot, staring right back at him, who quickly tried to make it look like he hadn’t been staring at all.

Knock Out had noticed him before. How couldn’t he? Blue plating, a dark blood-orange faceplate, yellow optics. All the same colours, but wildly different in every other way. A lot more white in his paint job as well.

He had also noticed how the mech had been conveniently finding somewhere to stand that had a view of Knock Out, but was far enough away to not begin any sort of interaction.

He wasn’t doing a very good job at appearing inconspicuous.

The Prime Decepticons find themselves stuck in the Earthspark universe, leading Knock Out and Breakdown to have a conversation that doesn’t quite live up to either of their fantasies.

My second KOBD fic wooo I wanted them to be sad this time
