Waves of Starlight (TFP fanfic)

Chapter 16

"What do you think Knockout is gonna do when he sees my legs working?" She asked as she sat there holding onto him.

"My guess is either freak out, try to examine you, congratulate you, or demand to know what happened." He stopped and thought for a bit, "Or all of them, maybe not that specific order."

"The con is gonna be shocked, that is for sure. Didn't Ratchet come by and say like something similar?" She asked. Looking at him.

"I think he may have." Soundwave shrugged as they approached the medbay, "But I'm not too sure. That day was one of the few I didn't record what was happening."

"You record days? Why?" She asked, confused while still holding onto him.

"It's an old hobby or rather habit of mine." He said, "I film whatever I find would be useful in the war for future documentaries. Someone has to be there to document history as it's being made, so I took it upon myself. Also, sometimes good for blackmail." He smirked

"If I was gonna record things in a day it would be my happy moments, things that made me really happy, like moments with Radio growing up," Valena spoke as she sat there in thought. "I did actually catch a photo of her a while back while she was smiling in the middle of a laugh." She smiled and shook her head. "That is a cool way of blackmail though."

"I do have quite a few folders filled with photos and videos of her." He smiled, "Ok, maybe a lot, but I'm always adding more, including ones of you." He stopped briefly outside the door, "If you could maybe send me the one you took, I would gladly add it to the collection."

"I... wha... you... you are saving photos of me?" She asked, surprised but also embarrassed. "Not anything embarrassing, right?"

"And videos," He grinned, "And what exactly do you count as embarrassing because I have quite a lot."

"When I turn red... I turn redder than Knockout." She mumbled, and as she did, she immediately turned red in the face, which got her looking away from him.

"Yes, you do," He teased, poking her nose before finally going in, "It's adorable and is now going in the album."

"No! Knockout doesn't need to see me red!" She cried, quickly burying her face against the tentacle to try and hide her red face.

Knockout turned to face them entering the medical bed and slightly glared at Soundwave. He tapped his digits in annoyance while he watched them.

"Look, Knockout!" Soundwave said, moving the tentacle so she had nowhere to hide and holding her out, "She looks like you now."

Knockout looked at her and burst out laughing. "Oh, Primus... why are you so red?" Getting Valena to turn even redder, running down her neck now as she quickly tried to hide her face with her small hands, but it was a feeble attempt. "No! It's...it's not funny... I hate turning red... it's embarrassing." She started to yell before muttering under her breath.

"It's adorable." He laughed, putting her down on the berth and crouching so he could see her face, "Come on, show me!" He poked her hands

"If I do, you are just gonna take more photos of me." She mumbled. Her eyes shut as she tried to hide her face.

Knockout shook his head as he walked over. "He's right. It looks cute on you, Valena. It shows how happy you are."

"See? Even he agrees," Soundwave laughed, still poking her, "Come on, I promise I won't video you."

"You laughed..." She muttered as she slowly lowered her hands to reveal her neck and cheeks bright red. As she said, it was redder than Knockout. It even covered her brow a little with how red she was.
