The very next day when your parents left for work you went outside and grabbed the supplies that you needed to wash Steve. You weren't sure how he would react to you washing him, but you knew that he needed it. As soon as you opened the garage door Steve saw you, transformed into his alt mode and rolled out onto the driveway. You then went to go fill the bucket with soap and water.

"Okay, tell me if this is too cold." You said as you went over to Steve and started wetting him down with water.

"Oh, that feels really good." Steve said as he felt the water on him.

"How long has it been since you've gotten clean?" You asked him as you went to turn the hose off.

"I think it's been about an Earth year." Steve replied as you dunked the sponge in the bucket of soapy water.

"Yikes, that's a long time." You said as you took the sponge and started washing Steve.

Steve loved the way the sponge of soapy water felt on his armor. It had been so long since he was able to get clean, and even then he had to do it himself. You could tell that he was enjoying the feeling of you washing off all of the dirt and dust. Before he knew it Steve felt you rinse him off with the hose again. After that you started drying him of with a soft towel.

"Okay, I'm finished." You said as soon as you were done drying Steve off.

"Thank you, I feel a whole lot better." Steve said as he transformed.

"You're welcome." You said as you smiled up at him.
