CHAPTER 19
Trust

Smokescreen decided that the first thing he'd do the next day, was allow Scott to settle in to his house. It was mostly because the movie didn't start until late, but it was also because he was both nervous and excited. Nervous about the fact that Bender was stalking around, and yet excited to get the chance to have his soon-to-be nephew stay with him. He'd never had a sparkling in the house before, no one he knew had even HAD one until Bluestreak took Scott back into his life. So he had to open doors for him, even to the guest bedroom he had now set up for a human. But he knew the boy wouldn't mind, for the most part - outside of the PTSD issues he had - he was pretty lax.

What was more, Smokescreen also knew that the boy liked him a lot. He'd been the first of the three that Scott had really formed a bond with, even before his bond with Bluestreak seemed to heal. So he hoped that it would be enough to tell Scott that he was here to visit and have bonding time, rather than to put him in with someone new and keep him there. "So, my place is pretty huge," Smokescreen admitted. "Unlike Blue, I kinda like things big and flashy," He admitted.

Scott nodded, his eyes scanning the actual room. It looked like one of those big, Beverly Hills homes, down to a massive wall of glass. The furniture was just as flashy too, giving off a really modern feeling. It was all very weird for a boy who had never lived anywhere big and flashy. And if Smokescreen had not been there, there was a good chance he would be overwhelmed. But, at least for the moment, he felt okay with being there, and was maybe even a little excited to get some alone time with one of his uncles that lasted more than a few hours.

"I-I-I-It's nice," Scott told him with a smile. "Just a lot to take in," He added rather honestly. "Are you sure you-u-u-u're okay with me stay-y-y-y-y-ying here?"

Smokescreen smiled a little, picking his nephew up on to his palm. He rubbed the boys back gently and nodded, making his way towards the bedroom that was going to be Scott's. "Are you kidding? I begged Blue to let me take you for the day! I'm so excited to have you here, buddy boy," He told him, to which Scott stared up with wide eyed amazement. "I went out and got a bedroom all tricked out for you too. I mean, it's nothing that special yet, but the more you come the more we can add to it," He then added. "That way, when you want to spend some time with uncle Smokey, you'll have an awesome pad." He explained.

Scott was a little nervous to see the bedroom Smokescreen had in mind. But when they got there, his eyes lit up. The bedroom wasn't huge, but it did have a lot of kids stuff, just like his bedroom back at Bluestreak's house did. There were toys, games, a big bed, and multiple other things. And between all of this, and the bright blue colors of his walls, it felt very comfy and safe. Clearly, Smokescreen had gone out of his way to make sure his spot in the home for when he stayed over was a place he felt safe.

"Wow," He stated as he was lowered to the ground. "A-A-A-Are you su-u-u-ure I'm not moving in?" Scott asked, causing the mech to chuckle a little in response. "Uncle Smokey, this is awe-e-e-e-esome," He added.

Smokescreen grinned triumphantly, the boy was definitely going to enjoy his time here. And for that matter, he had a good feeling he would too. "Yeah, I'm sure; but like I said, I wanted you to feel at home when you're staying with me," He explained cheekily. "Don't tell uncle Prowl I got so much though, okay? He'll have my helm, and I quite like it on my shoulders," Scott's small giggle made his grin spread. "So uh, this is where you'll sleep tonight so you can leave the suitcase here and unpack, or we can play for a bit? Whatever you want." He explained.
