the battle of the feels
BRING IT ON, RC
[And Optimus feels every emotion. Shockwave was always so strong in his emotions, and as his fingers gently intertwined with the tendrils of energy, he could feel them. Feel everything it was that made Shockwave Shockwave, and not the one the Institute tried to snuff out.
There's a delighted hum of his engine at Shockwave's answer. Beauty and brains...Shockwave certainly excelled at both, and what a dangerous combo to have. It was enough to capture the Prime's very spark whole, and willingly.
This was a new start for both of them, but in a way, it was picking up where they left off.
Optimus wasn't going to leave things to chance anymore.]
Even a king is in awe of the sun, Shockwave.
[He knows just how cocky that sounds. But it was true. To him, Shockwave was his star. His light.
That spark is coaxed out a little more, without hesitation. He did say he was Shockwave's after all, and that wasn't more apparent than right now.]

( Among other reasons indeed. It's not her fault her birth status made her eligible for the seat - there were some advantages in being related to Jhiaxus, as much as his work has fallen out of favor at this point in time. But Shockwave intended to make that spot her own, no matter how hard she had to fight to keep it against those who would rather see her fall from grace.
Or at least keep her mouth shut. )
And here I thought I won my appointment with my beauty alone. ( Teasing, her steps lighter now that she's gotten him to agree to coffee. The rest would come. ) I'm proud to say that my persuasive skills are still top notch.

[Anyone who tried would have to talk to Orion, whether Shockwave knew that or not. Personal matters weren't something he talked about with anyone, but Shockwave was definitely one of them.
One...really secret personal matter.
There's a half smirk emerging as he steps with her, his hand slowly reaching over to pat hers.]
One of many things that are top notch about you, Senator.
[Wow. Smooth.]

( The surprise on Shockwave's face vanishes with the kiss that he can't help but melt into, one hand coming up to brush against Optimus' audials. But he can't help the pleased hum of his engines either, nor the reluctance with which he pulls back slightly. Not too, far, because it's not a rejection - far from it. )
If the Afterspark exists, I will follow you even there.
( He swears it. )

[And for the first time in what feels like forever, Optimus smiles. A true, genuine smile. For one night, he could be truly happy, sitting here under the stars with someone who he would give his spark to for the rest of his life.
His lips don't stray far from him, only letting out a soft hum of his engine.]
Don't expect to see it anytime soon. We have a lot of living to do.
My Conjunx Endura.

My Conjunx Endura.
And mine.
( He never, in all of his years, considered having one - a conjunx endura. But now that he has one, well, he can't think of having anyone else. Another press of his lips against Optimus's before he hums thoughtfully. )
We'll have to think of a way to break it to the others.

( Exceedingly smooth, and Shockwave laughs at it happily. It wouldn't be Orion if it wasn't somewhat awkward. )
Again - flattery. But it's very much appreciated, you know.
( And then she's going to press her advantage here, standing up on her toes to quickly kiss him on the cheek in thanks. Harmless, right? Right. )

[He knew he laid it on thick, but...how couldn't he? He practically owed his life to her, and it's not like he was doing it just to suck up, either. He's just lucky she appreciated it.]
...
[And then, evverything changed when her lips met his cheek. His eyes widen, looking straight ahead as if he couldn't really register it for a few seconds.
No...no that was very real. Shockwave, a woman after his own heart (unknowingly to her) had just kissed him.
--But...was he thinking too much into it? She was high profile. Surely she did that as a term of friendship....]
As long as it doesn't go to your head.
[Play it cool, Orion. Play it cool.]

[As was the same for Optimus. With his position, and the war being as endless as it was, he never saw himself able to settle down like this--then again, he hadn't expected Shockwave to walk back into his life.]
...
[And then, those eyes widen.]
How am I going to tell Prowl.
...
[And then, those eyes widen.]

( That gets a low rumble of laughter from Shockwave, lips turning up into a grin. )
We'll tell him together. I won't send you to the turbofoxes alone.

( 100% totally platonic kiss as Shockwave doodles "Senator Doctor Shockwave Prime" in all her notes and research. So there's that. )
Far too late for that, I'm afraid. Everyone knows there are two things I want to be remembered for, Orion.

[I bet her colleagues love that.]
Well, there's a difference between flaunting what you have and...
[A chuckle.]
Exaggerating.
[Orion, you're enabling her.]

Are you sure? I'd prefer if you were away from his wrath all together.
[Don't mind him, he's just going to wrap his arms around you now, Albeit somewhat awkwardly.]
[Don't mind him, he's just going to wrap his arms around you now, Albeit somewhat awkwardly.]
( Shockwave will attempt to shift to help make it easier on Optimus. )
I've faced Proteus' and Sentinel's wrath - Prowl's pales in comparison.

[A little spark flickers in those eyes as he helps Shockwave adjust. This was something he could get comfortable with. Giving himself to someone like him.
The one who'd originally stolen his spark.]
Your own wrath is something to be admired.

Admired isn't the word many would use.
( He won't argue with it though. )
He will learn that he won't be able to change our minds, and then maybe he'll come to accept it.

( Everyone's too busy trying to find Nominus's successor to pay much attention to what she's scribbling in her notes. She grins, leaning more of her weight on him. )
If you insist I suppose I can't argue with you at all.

[And without even noticing, Orion's arm pulls hers in slightly closer to himself, giving a soft chuckle. It wasn't often that the cop gave out more than an amused hum.]
Your hands are cold, Senator.
[Don't mind if he...softly holds the one on his arm with his oppposite hand.]

Perhaps they don't see you in the same way I do.
[And they didn't. Optimus was positive of that. Because what they had...He wouldn't have traded it for anything.]
Either way, that's what's going to happen under my command.

I do so love it when you take command, Optimus.
( He says, teasing the other gently. But it's true - why bother denying it? )

Are they? ( she doesn't move her hand, instead staring at him fondly for a moment before her gaze drops to where his hand covers her's and she smiles. ) I hadn't noticed.
( She's been distracted okay. )
( She's been distracted okay. )
[While Optimus is usually oblivious to such things, he can't help but feel that Shockwave's mocking him, if affectionately.]
Then I suppose it's good that I'm a commander. Isn't it.

[There's a small leap in his heart when she doesn't remove that hand, only allowing him to gently secure his hold.]
Until we arrive, I'll make sure your hands don't turn as frigid as Proteus's.

Very good, actually.
