Busy, busy, everyone's always busy these days.
Except-
*BOOM*
"SOOUNDWAAAAVE!!!"
Except when that work is interrupted by Soundwave's trouble making cassettes who can find no better way to entertain themselves than pranks.
The communications officer let out a tired sigh as Starscream stalked onto the command deck while holding Rumble and Frenzy like cats by their scruff. Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw flapped around them, laughing their helms off at the entire situation.
Ravage, who had been following her host all day, leveled them with an unimpressed look, but huffed a quiet chortle.
Starscream looked like he'd been caught in one of that horrid Autobot-crackpot-inventor's bomb's, while also having somehow taken a shower in glitter.
Safe to say, he was a comical eyesore, as always.
"Starscream: is agitated," Soundwave could barely manage a disappointed tone for his cassettes,"Query: what is it that you need?"
His wings hike up in irritation and hissed,"Don't play dumb with me! Your brats were causing trouble among my seekers, again! They jerry-rigged some insane contraption and blasted us, you ought to keep them on a leash."
"First: do not address my cassettes that way." He stepped forward,"Second: Put them down." His tone deepens on the final note,"Third: Soundwave: will handle them."
The fussy seeker relents, and not because he was intimidated, putting the twins down and walking away angrily like a peacock that got its feathers ruffled.
Once it was just him and his kids, Soundwave tilts his head and a long awkward silence takes hold as they sit there relishing in the aftermath.
"Soundwave: is proud of you. Cassetticons: did well." He said cheekily.
"Yeah!"
"Aww thanks Boss bot."
"It was hilarious."
"Did you see the look on his face, hah!"
They cheer and pat each other on the back, but they're cut short,"However, this is the fifth time. Next time: create smaller disruption."
Ravage comments,"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them for their next assignment."
Oh, that's right.
"Query: Cassettes: were sent to aid Shockwave, yet ended up here."
Frenzy and Rumble puff up boldly,"Oh yeah, well..."
*flashback sequence that's totally legit*
"Ah yes, I am Shockwave. Logic,logic,logic,logic. Anyways greetings Soundwave's super awesome kids, I was just finished working on this really cool science thing, because it's very logically superior to all my other projects this cycle. Anywayssssss..anyways this a gift for you guys to do whatever you want with. Because I'm like super in love with your dad and he's ultra cool, but also because you're all really cool especially Frenzy and Rumble and utterly legendary and-
*Bonk*
Buzzsaw hit Rumble's helm,"Ok that's not what happened."
"Fine fine!," Rumble rubs the sore spot at the top of his helm.
Frenzy grumbles while crossing his arms,"Buzzkill."
*more accurate flashback*
Shockwave had handed over a large crate full of various materials to the two pairs of twins. And said sternly with a hint towards anger,"That imbecilic illogical buffoon, Starscream, messed with my experiments again. Take these leftover parts and go do something about it. That's your assignment."
*du du du dud*
"And that's what happened."
"Soundwave: understands. Shockwave: very in-character."
Looks like he'll have to pay his conjux a visit and thank him generously in person for the amusement.
Since it's a free day, I went for more cuteness 💕 Shockwave learns more about affectionate gestures as he observes Soundwave's behavior in private 💙
Since Soundwave is feared by enemies and allies too, he ends up being quite lonely. Even though he does have the cassettes company, he doesn't even realize how touch starved he is until Shockwave offers it to him. He's used to caring for others but would love to be cared for as well.
Hope you enjoyed the full week of wavewave art and my headcanons! I had a lot of fun and it's been ages since I've done a ship week challenge like this. The waves are just that dear to me they gave me the power to go for all the prompts 💙💜

Soundwave stumbles onto laying on his back upon their shared berth as his conjux comes to linger above him. He brings his servos to ring around Shockwave's helm and pulls him in close.
Shockwave's servo strokes and roams over Soundwave's waist in a caressing fashion.
Taking in all that he could with his singular optic.
Especially with Soundwave's face bare to him for such an intimate moment.
No wonder he kept it hidden, or else suitors would be lining the door and never to leave them alone.
Soundwave's fingers start fiddling with Shockwave's finials, and one hand starts traveling down his back and carefully presses down on every strut.
The left servo, more of Shockwave's cannon-arm, drags tantalizingly between the blue mech's legs to which he opens them eagerly. It's rubbed back and forth against Soundwave's already dripping valve, the friction causing him to shiver.
His groans turn into a quickened yelp when the limb is shoved oh so deep inside. Soundwave clings his legs tightly around Shockwave's hips, all while his thighs and valve walls flex and clench just as and if not even tighter from the stretch-worthy size. Not to mention the length, too.
While they wait for him to adjust, Shockwave plays with a new feature he personally synthesized specifically for this moment.
The cannon kicks on and begins to vibrate from within.
This causes Soundwave to throw his head back and he instinctively hugs the purple mech to his chassis. Seems the playful setting was a good choice.
The arm then thrusts in and out, starting slow and eventually speeding up and rougher bit by bit. As well as, the vibrations increasing along with the pleasurable motion.
Soundwave twists and even raises his hips and draws back at the same time towards the stimulation. His moans echo out like tendrils that now hold Shockwave captive, further motivating him to keep going.
Harder. Rougher. Faster. So, fragging, faster.
As much as he enjoyed being held so close, Shockwave raises his upper body to get a better view of his conjux.
Primus, Soundwave's face was hazy and yet so clearly full of drunken lust. So desperate for more and patiently waiting for Shockwave's next trick.
Oh how he loved him so. How they loved one another, just like this.
The benefit of having a cannon arm and data cables is being able to hold hands without interrupting work 💜💙
Prime waves are my favorites for wordless displays of love. Soundwave is silent and Shockwave isn’t the type to show his emotions. Reaching out their EM fields, helm nuzzles, hand holding… many subtle ways to show their affection without others noticing is so fitting for them 💕
(So I wanted earthspark Wavewave for this and a lil late I know)

Another day, another adventure of giving the Autobots the run around. And the Terrans were there too, I guess.
Among the forests of the tall mountains and valleys, they had scattered and been chased off.
So while those pesky bots were busy going on a wild goose chase with the others, Soundwave and Shockwave had lost the ones running at their tails. They eventually stow away in a nearby cave as they watch Elita and Twitch zoom by from the mouth of the cavern.
"Soundwave: suggests we lay low here."
"Agreed. We'll regroup at nightfall."
The two wander further into the deep dark cave. It's surprisingly spacious in comparison to the mentioned mechs.
And despite the lack of external light it proved to be no trouble as their optics easily adjusted to their circumstances. Somewhere along the sides water was running and it's constant trickle echoed off the rock formations.
It seems the cavern was bigger than originally thought as their path kept going on and on. At least their pedes haven't tripped on a single stalagmite so far.
A waterfall of sorts, which was most likely where the little streams originated from, blocked their continued venture. Although, it was more like a heavy curtain rather than a pit fall. A faint glow is reflected in the running water, to which it draws Soundwave in curiously. Shockwave simply follows, not like there could be anything that could cause them serious harm in a dingy setting such as this.
Once they entered they were met with a dome-like rocky ceiling that was covered in blue glowing specks from bottom to top.
It was an utterly enthralling sight to behold, and though they were made of metal, Soundwave felt a shiver of wonder roll down his backstrut.
Shockwave notes,"How fascinating, having existed in the stationary lack of light, the organic substances have developed their own bio-luminescence."
"They look like stars," Soundwave slowly slides down onto his knees while staring up,"Soundwave: finds the scenery remarkably beautiful."
Shockwave finds the comparison to be somewhat logical considering Soundwave's sentimentality and how it does seem like it in a way. He sits down beside him and watches the other's gaze.
It felt like forever as they took the time to truly calm down, after everything that happened, and be present in a moment.
"Ey I wanna see too!" Lazerbeak shouts from inside Soundwave.
"You guys are being way too mushy!" Frenzy teased and complained, banging could be heard against the front of Soundwave's chassis.
Soundwave simply huffs akin to a laugh and lets them out.
Shockwave you know damn well you can’t handle all that, what are you doing… anyways colors weren’t working out for me so I just. Put base colors, I figure it’s fine cuz the line art was fun to do anyways! Idk if I’ll do all of Wavewave week but 🤔 I’ll surely try
Wavewave week Day 5: Earth/Cybertron
Happy wavesday too!! 💚💛
Even if they miss their home planet, they can find beautiful things to appreciate on Earth 🌻
Since Sir Soundwave is fond of all lifeforms, I imagine he'd find flowers to be beautiful as well. A field of sunflowers would remind him of Shockwave's bright yellow frame. He also knows of people giving flower bouquets to their loved ones and couldn't resist making one 💛
(Ngl I didn’t rlly know what to do for this so I just did a what-if scenario or the Decepticons winning)

Soundwave and Shockwave were a constant force in the Decepticon High Command.
Always have been and always will be, ‘cause someone has to be the voice of logic among chaos junkies. To which, there are many within the Decepticon structure.
No wonder they won in the end, the Autobots never stood a chance. And with their fall, arose a new dawn with the Decepticons in charge, as well as many changes to go around.
As reforms and reconstruction projects turned up all over Cybertron, everyone got busy very quickly. And during all this, so too did a certain communications specialist and mad scientist as their expertise was greatly needed. Especially as the two who were the most efficient.
Of course, this ultimate victory was welcomed amiably, they're finally able to change the world for the better after all, but all this work came in droves and seemed never ending.
Thus, their jobs had inevitably led them to opposite sides of their world.
It was necessary work, indeed, and they called each other whenever they could.
Yet their physical presence couldn't help to be void and left a bother within their internal systems, how fascinating.
Oh to see what's happening now...
The infamously mischievous twins, Rumble and Frenzy, come barging into Shockwave's new temporary lab, as they tend to do whenever, wherever.
"Yo Shock! We're back!" The cassetticons announced, although the purple mech didn't turn to them. He didn't really have to as they hopped and stood on top of his workbench which he was currently facing.
"I presume your mission was successful." Shockwave holds out his servo and Frenzy hands over a glass cube with a wiggly specimen. As he examines it with his singular optic he remarks,"Hmm, well done. Although that goes without saying. Considering."
Rumble dusts off he pauldron,"Yeah, yeah, I know. We're the best..actually speaking of Soundwave."
He bumps his brother, who bumps him back while not understanding the cue. Then he elbows him, and so and so forth until Shockwave forcibly draws their attention back to the matter at hand.
"Ohhh right!" Finally, they remember.
"Here. Boss bot, got you a gift." Frenzy says while Rumble gives Shockwave a datapad.
Shockwave questions,"What does it contain?"
They both shrug, stating that Soundwave explicitly told them to keep it a surprise for his conjux. And even made it impossible to hack into it, to make it Frenzy&Rumble-Proof.
Rumble sits on the edge and swings his legs,"All he said was that you should look at it in private."
A dawning realization comes up on Shockwave.
For the rest of the day he indulges the twins and finishes his work.
Once he clocks out and returns his habsuite, he enjoys the gift to the fullest.
I know Shockwave's usually supposed to be emotionless but I like to give him a bit of emotions as a treat. I would imagine even if he had feelings he wanted to express, he'd struggle to actually put them into words. Good thing Soundwave is an expect at wordless communication so there's no need to write poetry 💜💙
In the evening of Kaon, the shift towards nighttime comes to life slowly.
Most are on their way home or busy taking care of business. Others are mulling around in bars, maybe even planning to constantly bar-hop for the rest of the night. Some loiter around corners and alleyways, while congregations of pity parties take place elsewhere.
And in the bellows beneath the gladiatorial arena, which were supposedly abandoned because it served as nothing but storage space, another congregation is gathering in session.
Huddled around a large crate in the center which was being used as a table were various mechs, most having sharp angular features and some were actually quite colorful.
A few familiar mechs in particular could be seen in the back, like Knockout and Breakdown who were chatting as if in their own world.
Megatronous was waxing poetry about his growing Decepticon movement and their next course of action as revolutionaries. Orion Pax could be seen flanking his right and recording what was said in a datapad. Meanwhile Soundwave was on the other side listening contentedly, albeit a little more unsettling despite doing nothing but just standing there.
As Megatronous goes on and on about his plans and trivial announcements he then gets to an awaited introduction,"On our next matter, there’s an ally of mine that I am hereby swearing in to our ranks.”
That got a few heads to turn and even those who were spacing out perked up with attention.
“Shockwave,” He calls out and lo and behold, there walks in an imposing deep purple mech,”is to be your newest lieutenant and my third-in-command. Now then, I’d like to hear your ideas for us.”
Shockwave surveys the room quickly and promptly details his scientific expertise in a donning tone. And just like that, many went back to spacing out or plotting their next scheme.
All while this was going on, Soundwave was analyzing the newcomer quite closely.
For any case, and let's be honest it's frankly inevitable, nothing gets past Soundwave without him knowing.
Shockwave's induction is no surprise to him. In fact, it was Soundwave who had first introduced and recommended him for their cause to Megatronous.
It all started when the two first met each other. After a full day of battles in the arena, Soundwave was lingering near the outskirts of the Pits and then suddenly approached by Shockwave. He was straightforward and concise as always, a trait that was greatly appreciated by Soundwave, at least when considering having to deal with Starscream trying to call him all the time for idiotic reasons. Both acknowledged each other's skills, as well as what they needed and what they could offer to the other. The entire interaction was certainly a needed relief and utterly logical.
This of course led to further meet-ups and follow up discussions.
During such private gatherings, the two learned about one another and became better familiar with how to work together. Everything just made sense, there was no need for overly compensated instructions and they could choose to do things by themselves, but it was actually pleasant to share their ideas and observations.
For once, it didn't feel like an unnecessary struggle to cooperate with someone. Well...as long as that someone was Soundwave or Shockwave.
And this was only just the beginning. With Shockwave now officially part of the Decepticons, they shall surely grow even more superior.
