Nightingale- Soundwave x reader

4. shopping trip!

"Soundwave I need to go grocery shopping."

He shakes his helm.

"Either today or tomorrow Sound, you've already told me no yesterday."

"Tomorrow." Y/n's voice echoes back.

"I'm holding you to that! I'm not going to eat cup ramen for the rest of my miserable short life before dying of either hunger or scurvy! I need fresh food."

---The next day.---

"Soundwave." Y/n says as threateningly as she can, tapping her foot impatiently.

He shakes his helm.

"Why not?"

He doesn't acknowledge Y/n as he keeps typing away. Y/n has learned she has to watch him like a hawk if she wants to get anywhere in these types of conversations. Sometimes its a challenge communicating with a practically mute alien giant.

"What is it? You can't smuggle me out right now?"

He keeps silent.

"You're too busy with work to take me?"

No reaction.

"...You think I'll run?"

A falter in his steady typing.

"You do realize you have my house and more importantly my cats as hostages."

Again no change. God damn it why is this guy so difficult.

"Look, I'm not gonna escape. I don't want to. What I want is a fresh fruit smoothy."

Finally Soundwave stops typing and looks at you. After a moment of observation he points to you then himself.

"We go together?"

He nods.

"Well I would sure hope so. How else am I gonna get out and back on the ship? I can't fly remember. Besides, I wanna shop with you. Its gonna be fun."

When Soundwave lands Y/n pratically launces herself out of his altmode. 

"Haaaa sunlight!" She reaches her arms to the sky and closes her eyes soaking up that sweet vitamin D.

For a little while Y/n stands basking in the rays. 

When she turns around a strange man stands in front of her. Y/n looks him up and down, then looks at Soundwaves alt, unmoving, and back again at the man.

"You dress like a cyberpunk nazi, Soundwave. I get it you're basically a space fascist but it kinda really stands out and we don't want that kind of attention."

Soundwaves holoform glitches for a moment. When its stable again his clothes have changed to a purple dress shirt a black pair of pants with black dress shoes, his eyes covered by sunglasses. Damnit he looks handsome.

"Covering-acceptable?"

"Jep that'll do!"

"wow. Thats. How the hell do I have so much money on my account?"

"Subsidy- to acquire- resource." No big deal he merely hacked her bank account and put a few more zeros in.

"wow okay. Thanks a bunch, holy...okay, so how much will you allow me to splurge?" Y/n grins. "Like nothing crazy, i'm not gonna buy a yacht or anything. But can I buy a guitar?" She gestures to a music store.
