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.

[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.

[tomemyoutliers]

( 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.

[luckyfaceplate]

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.]

[tomemyoutliers]

( 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.

[luckyfaceplate]

[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.

[tomemyoutliers]

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.

[luckyfaceplate]

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.

[tomemyoutliers]

I do so love it when you take command, Optimus.

( He says, teasing the other gently. But it's true - why bother denying it? )

[luckyfaceplate]

[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.

[tomemyoutliers]

Very good, actually.

( and he's just going to gently kiss his cheek. because he can. )
