Transformers Rescue Bots - The Past

67: Broken Tension - S

Ratchet finally awakens.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

It was tedious waiting for Ratchet to wake up, but Heatwave and Blades were assured that Ratchet was ok and the surgery was successful. they both did end up having to go back to the academy but they would be called when Ratchet was awake.

They were both very worried after a single lunar cycle went by, worried that the worst was happening. they made sure to spend all the time they could at his side, sitting there doing work or just resting, all they knew is that they had to be there.

Blades was sitting there, trying to do some work but could help but wonder. Blades knew Heatwave was supposed to be there by now and yet he was nowhere in sight. Blades would've tried to call him but then he came in the door.

"What took you so long?" He asks, watching as Heatwave took a seat beside him.

Heatwave looked wrecked, upset, like a train of emotions hit him without warning. Blades couldn't help but wonder how in the world Heatwave managed to make it into the room with the state he looked to be in.

"Blades," Heatwave looked at him, within his optics it could easily be told he was broken. "He was nice, right?"

"What?" Blades was lost, not understanding exactly what Heatwave could be talking about right about now.

"The guy, he was nice right?" Blades was still lost but Heatwave was physically trying to describe what he was talking about at the moment. "You know, the mech who helped us with the money and stuff, I-Uh...."

At that moment, Blades knew exactly what happened as Heatwave slowly broke down. the fact Heatwave could not refer to a mech by their name meant he forgot, meant he was broken once again, it keeps happening and yet hasn't he had enough? The bot knew Heatwave was hurt enough as is and yet they all had such audacity to hurt him even more, it was breaking to hear.

"Oh, Heatwave." Blades knew this would blow over here eventually but still, the relationship was beautiful, how could that mech break him like that? "Are you doing ok?"

"I wish." he responds, still broken by the facts. "But, he was nice, right?"

"Yes, he clearly made you very happy." Blades says. "Seeing you that happy was something great to see from you for once, but now, that is all over. I'm sorry."

"Blades, it wasn't your fault, it was mine." Blades physically had to pause as Heatwave threw such blame on himself. "for being a nice mech, I didn't realize he could break me like he just did moments ago. I guess I should've thought it through more and maybe I could've stopped myself from getting so far ahead."

"Heatwave, I think it is time to consider the idea of being single for a while here." Blades says, really trying to give some advice.

"I second that."

Both bots paused, looking over to see Ratchet wide awake, sitting on the edge of the berth as he awaited the crushing hugs he was about to get. It didn't take long before that hug came along, joy filling the room so much.

"I guess I can take it into consideration." Heatwave says, but now finding joy knowing there was something good for the solar cycle.
