[The moment Shockwave has his ground again, he feels himself pulled against him, the kiss now desperate and needed more than before. It was almost hard to believe this was happening. After all these years of nothing but hurt, of losing everything, it's hard to see something this good without a drawback. His Shockwave in his arms, the way he always remembered him.
The way he wants to remember him now.
Thankfully, air isn't needed for Cybertronians to breathe, so he pushes those lips harder against the other, practically crushing them together. Arms fully wrap around the other, weaving in between Shockwave's own. Fingers grip onto that metal back, digging into the seams as he throws himself into that kiss. Every ounce of pain the war gave him, every hole that'd been blasted into him finally starts to heal. And this is when it dawns on him.
He can live again.
They both can. And there was no more hesitation--Optimus was going to love every minute of this as long as Shockwave let him.]
Shockwave.
[He lifts up, just a moment, although he doesn't stray farther than a few inches.]
I want you to know. ...No, I need you to know...
[He's trying to say it, those three words that make all the difference.]
