Shockwave, as usual, was currently working in his lab. He had been there all day working tirelessly upon Megatron's command. Of course, he would rather be here than out on the field, but he did get lonely sometimes.

The one-eyed scientist worked away in his lab for hours on end, only pausing to refuel or report his findings to Megatron via comnlink. He wasn't even close to finishing, not yet at least. When he worked, he seemed like he was in some sort of trance. Almost like he was zoned out.

Until a pair of slender arms wrapping around his waist snapped him out of it.

"I'm working, Soundwave." Shockwave murmured, though he let the Communications Chief stay there.

Soundwave was silent, until he got impatient. "Illogical." He said in a monotone voice, trying to mock Shockwave in a playful manner. His significant other was trying to blow him off and he wasn't buying it. "Cuddles: promised."

Shockwave huffed and shook his head. "I know that I promised you affection during this cycle, but I still haven't finished my duties for the day."

"Illogical." Soundwave mocked again, testing Shockwave's patience. "Cuddles: promised."

Shockwave finally caved and let out a heavy sigh, setting down the tool he was holding. "Alright." He replied, a little idea popping into his processor. He carefully swooped Soundwave up into his arms, using his cannon to support the slender mech so he wouldn't fall.

Once he carried Soundwave to his berthroom, Shockwave gently set him down before sitting down next to him. After a few seconds, he pat his lap as a gesture for Soundwave to climb into his lap.

Soundwave climbed into Shockwave's lap and curled up like a cat, leaning his head against Shockwave's broad chassis and relishing the warmth that the larger mech was radiating. He loved being the little spoon when it came to cuddling.

Once Soundwave was settled in, Shockwave gently wrapped his arm around him and nuzzled his helm lovingly. The one-eyed scientist wished he could kiss the mech in his embrace to show him how much he loved him. But despite their combined hinderances and disabilities, they still managed to show just enough affection towards one another.

And that was all that mattered.
