Nightingale- Soundwave x reader

5. new mechs, suit and job

Its been about two months since the move and all Y/n has seen of the ship is Soundwaves room. However gigantic it is, its beginning to feel claustrophobic.

"I'm boooored. Souuundwavvvveee." He spares a glance at the little organics whining form rolling around on his desk. "I'm dyyyyiiiinggg of booooredooome"

Soundwave looks back at his screen.

"okay okay that might be a little hyperbolic of me. But uuhm, I'm no psychologist but isolation and boredom is not healthy. Give me a job. It doesn't have to be big. Just something I can at least feel marginally useful doing please?"

"I will take it into consideration." The warped voice of Megatron answers.

"Thanks. I appreciate it."

Soundwave is having difficulty keeping his pet entertained. It has a lot of energy. Even after it runs around the room every morning. The human calls it jogging. Its argument to continue the habit was acceptable. And its cute to watch Ravage run after it, playfully nipping at the heels to make his pet run faster.

Every day the human sings a variety of songs. It has played the guitar instrument but hasn't played any other for him. Though he can faintly pick up his pet playing them through the "soundproof" walling of its studio room.

While these activities keep his pet entertained for a little while, it still doesn't seem to be enough. It is quite curious and has show a willingness to learn. And now expresses a want to work, to be of use.

Even though it will complain, often loudly when it doesn't get it's way, the human is surprisingly obedient to him. Perhaps it can be of more use to the Decepticon cause as a whole. Not just his own. But what can a human safely do in the Nemesis?

Ah he knows. Soundwave is not entirely happy, but he has limited choices.

Soundwave explains through pictures on his vizor and clipped words that he will take his pet to the med-bay, to see if Knockout has a job for it. Its an odd thing that the biggest gossip on the ship is also the one who can and will keep secrets like the best. Especially if its for the Tic. Primus knows Soundwave is lenient on the doctor's hobby of sneaking out to race.

His pet is practically vibrating with excitement.

Sounds hides Y/n under his wing/arm in his hand when he smuggles her through the hallways. No one will see her as long as she stays quiet.

Y/n is trying very hard not to comment on the vehicons walking past them. One of them has a rump bump. 'Just take a deep breath and DON'T. LAUGH. OH GOD IT LOOKS SO SILLY.'

Soundwave makes sure the medbay is empty save for the bright red medic before he steps in and locks the doors. 

Knockout looks up from the datapad he was reading when he hears the door click shut.

"Commander Soundwave! How can I be of service today?" He flashes a smile that would make models swoon.

"Knockout -keep secret."

"Yes of course I'll keep a secret if its for you." Knockout readily agrees.

Soundwave opens his digits. A human is sitting completely at ease in his servo, not crying, screaming or begging for their life.

"Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Y/n." You wave to the shiny red mech.

"A... a human? Why do you have a human, Soundwave?" Knockout asks confused.

"Pet."

"Oh well, If somethings not functioning properly with her I can't help. I know barely anything about how these organics work."
