A Soundrod Royalty AU

Rodimus is a prince and Soundwave is a knight and his personal body guard.

At first Soundwave and Rodimus where just amical, they met before mostly just passing each other in the many hallways but never really speaking until now. They spend each moment each other just simply spending hours in the garden enjoying the crystal flower or spending a slow evening in the library reading their favourite books and scrolls. Soon Soundwave finds himself falling for the young prince and he wants nothing more than to be by Rodimus side and protect him.

However one day the Lord of the palace and Rodimus's sire asks for his son and they enter a small study. There Rodimus's sire is standing speaking with a unfamiliar mech who looks well kept but their EM field oozes with a snobbish, spoiled and pompous personality one that makes Soundwave tighten his grip on his seethed sword. With a wide smile the Lord introduces the mech to Rodimus and tells him that this is the mech he will be bonded and conjunxed too Rodimus meanwhile gives a fake smile while his conjunx to be grabs his servo only to place a kiss on top of it, it makes Soundwave's spark swell with jealousy.

Later that night Rodimus is quietly sitting on the edge of his berth with his arms tightly wrapped around his frame. He doesn't want to be bonded to someone he doesn't love but he has no choice as long as he is a prince and stays in this palace. Just then Soundwave knocks on the door before stepping inside before slowly walking over to the prince before kneeling. Confused Rodimus asks what Soundwave is doing only to gasp in shock when the knight gently grabs his servo only to place a soft kiss on-top, before confessing everything to Rodimus and how he loves him and wishes that he was the one being conjunxed to the prince not that snobbish fool. Stunned and feeling his face grow warm Rodimus flicks his spoiler before leaping into the knight's arms while he gives his own confession through tears all the while they both hold each other tightly not wanting to let each other go. Soundwave has a plan where they can go somewhere safe all he needs is time and a favour from an old friend.

Constantly dealing with the weight of his sires pressure and the expectation that have been placed on his shoulders since birth. He didn't have a lot of time to socialize with those around him.

Then one day that all changed. It was late and he was studying because his sire would be quizzing him tomorrow and he could not fail.

He'd been exhausted and wanted nothing more than to sleep. Suddenly the window near his bed was broken as someone climbed inside.

He stood up in surprise and rushed to the door only to be grabbed painfully by the spoiler. He struggled and his captor squeezed causing him to wince.

His spark was racing as he tried to figure out how he was going to get away. When one of his guards rushed inside.

His captor held a knife to his throat threatening to kill him if the guard came any closer. However the guard was smart and found a way to free him from his captors grip.

"Get behind me."

The guard attacked his captor and he watched as the two fought with the guard quickly winning.

"Are you okay?"

He stared at the guard in shock because that was the first time anyone had ever asked him that. He nodded and the guard looked around his room which was now a mess.

"You'll stay with me tonight so I can watch over you in case anyone else attacks."

He grabbed a few things including his books worried his sire would be mad if he didn't grab them and followed the guard to his room.

It was a small room with barely anything inside and the guard took a seat in the only chair.

"Get some rest."

He set his belongings down on the desk and decided to comply. He was exhausted and a little nervous as well. The guard who saved him earlier watched over him as he slept and in the morning he explained what happened to his sire. Who seemed more annoyed than upset.

To his surprise the guard continued checking up on him and making sure he was okay and he gave him a thank you gift in return for saving him.

After that the two became close friends and for the first time in his life he had someone to talk to.

They'd spend hours in the gardens walking around and admiring the lush crystal gardens.

Later in the evening the two of them could be found tucked away in a hidden area Rodimus had found when he was young. The two of them would be cuddled together as they talked making sure to keep their voices down.

Sometimes the two would read to each other and Rodimus always found himself falling asleep in Soundwave's arms listening as he read his favorite books to him.

As the two became closer feelings began to develop. Neither said anything in fear of what the other would think but both knew that as long as the other was by their side it didn't matter.

After Rodimus had fallen asleep against him he carefully took the prince back to his room. Laying him on his bed he admired the beautiful prince and promised to always protect him. Wanting to be by his side forever.

The two had been walking in the crystal gardens escaping his tutors when he'd been found. He thought they'd make him get back to work only to be surprised when his sire called for him.

He gave Soundwave a nervous look and the guard followed behind him keeping watch in order to make sure he was okay. The two of them walked into his sire's study where he was shaking hands with an unfamiliar mech.

He frowned wondering who he was and already Disliking the man. Although he was well kept and took a lot of time to groom himself. He had a snobbish air to him that set him on edge and he hated the way he looked at Rodimus, as though he was something to be owned.

When the man came closer he barely resisted stepping in front of Rodimus to block his path. The spoiled man seemed to be ignorant of the tension his presence brought.

Rodimus was looking at his sire curious and wanting to know why he was there. He placed his hands on his weapons ready to dispose of the man at any moment. The entire time he was on edge wanting him far away from Rodimus.

Rodimus sire didn't seem to notice as he pushed Rodimus closer, announcing that this spoiled idiot was going to be his new bond mate. Immediately he tensed and Rodimus looked at his sire in horror. While the man started bragging about how lucky he was.

Looking at Rodimus he didn't look very lucky and instead looked about ready to cry as his future was planned out before him and he wasn't given any say.

Not wanting to anger his sire Rodimus gave the man a fake smile as he kept bragging about how great he was.

The man grabbed Rodimus hand who jerked back slightly as he kissed it. He felt a possessive rage fill him and fantasized about all the ways he was going to kill the man.

He watched filled with jealousy as the man continued holding Rodimus hand and talking about their bonding ceremony. Something he'd always wanted to do with Rodimus even though he knew it would never be possible.

Later that night he goes to Rodimus room and finds him sitting on his bed staring blankly at the wall. While his arms were wrapped around himself in a hug.

He kneels in front of him and takes his hand kissing them both and causing Rodimus to gasp as he finally looks down at him.

Unable to take it anymore he confesses telling Rodimus that he loves him and wants to be with him forever.

"I wish it was me conjunxing you and not that snobbish fool."

Rodimus looks at him in shock and he can see a faint blue blush dust his cheeks as he looks down at him. His spoiler flaps behind him and that's the only warning he gets before Rodimus jumps into his lap.

The two clung to each other and Rodimus cries as he confesses as well. Telling him how much he loved him and that he wanted to be with him.

He pressed their foreheads together promising to get him out. He had a plan and would take them both somewhere safe but first he needed to get in contact with an old friend.

Catformers where Roddi and Soundwave have to go home with Optimus after the trip to see Brainstorm. Perceptor is so sad when they have to leave, wanting to spend more time with his kitten, but is surprised when Brainstorm moves one day, needing to travel for his work. Percy is delighted to learn they're now neighbours with Hot Rod and Soundwave as they move in the same neighbourhood as the two. Percy and Hot Rod have a happy reunion and he's happy to see his grandkittens.

He meowed sadly already missing Hot Rod who'd just left that morning. He was grateful he got to see him again. Since he never thought that was possible and for a long time he didn't think he'd ever see him again. But he was also sad his kitten had to leave.

He'd grown so much since he'd last seen him and it felt like Hot Rod had grown up without him. He didn't want to miss his adult life as well.

He was sad for the next few weeks missing his kitten and wondering when he would visit again. Brainstorm had set up a video call so the two of them could see each other but it wasn't the same.

They talked all the time much to the amusement of Brainstorm who would sometimes watch. It was annoying and he'd sometimes swipe at him if he didn't leave.

Occasionally Soundwave would pop into frame and groom Hot Rod or snuggle against him. Occasionally he'd do it because he knew he couldn't stop him. He still didn't see what Hot Rod saw in Soundwave. He was rude and seemed like he belonged for the streets.

Hot Rod always reassured him that Soundwave was nice and that you just needed to get to know him. It was hard to believe him when he was in the background terrorizing Optimus by sticking his paw into his drink or jumping at him and scaring the man.

He tried not to get too involved in his relationship even if he did worry. From what he could tell Soundwave at least loved his kitten a lot and took care of him.

Although maybe he loved him a little too much considering Hot Rod was now sparked. When he first heard the news he thought he'd pass out he'd been so shocked. He'd just reunited with his kitten and now he was sparked.

Hot Rod seemed overjoyed even if he was sad he couldn't be there for him. He was also sad but surprised when Soundwave told him that he'd look after Hot Rod.

Even though he was happy and excited to be a grand carrier he was also upset that he couldn't be there for his kitten. Even though he didn't want to he was now missing out on more of his milestones and he wished they could visit him soon.

He'd been sad for a while wishing he could see his kitten when Brainstorm surprised him with some exciting news. He'd gotten a job in the same city that Hot Rod lived and they were moving.

He'd also bought the apartment next to Optimus which means he could see his kitten all the time and take care of him while he was sparked. He could also help him with his grandkittens and spoil the little one's.

When he told Hot Rod the news he'd been overjoyed. While Soundwave seemed less enthused about him living next door. He promised not to get too involved in their relationship.

Even though he didn't like it his kitten was an adult and could make his own choices.

After that the next few weeks seemed to blur together as they got ready to move. The entire time he was counting down the days and ignoring Brainstorm who was constantly complaining about how hard it was to move.

He couldn't wait to see his kitten and after what felt like forever they'd finally arrived. The moment Optimus opened the door he ran inside and went to greet his kitten who was happy to see him.

Love your writing

Hot rod laying in berth eating a craving using his large belly to hold it up.

Hot rod is on a neutral planet away from the war.

He figured the sires wouldn’t come looking for him.

Boy is he wrong when he wakes up to Deadlock rubbing his tanks and Ratchet rubbing at his hips.

Feeling a craving hit he shuffled to his kitchen and grabbed some things. Looking at what he was going to eat It was weird doing something so mundane after being at war for so long.

He rubbed his belly feeling a small pang of sadness that he had to leave. Even though he knew it was for the best. The war was no pace for a sparkling and he needed to focus on his little one. He could only hope the wreckers understood.

He went to his berth and laid down using his belly to hold up the bowl he was eating from. He grabbed a nearby remote and turned on the TV watching a new show that had just come out.

Although things weren't perfect they were better than what they were before. He'd managed to buy a house on a neutral world where other refugees lived.

The house didn't have a lot inside and most of the rooms were uncompleted except for the nursery.

He'd been working on it all the time and it looked really nice. He couldn't wait for his sparkling to get there.

Even though he was excited he was also nervous. He'd never expected he'd be carrying all alone. He knew the sires would want nothing to do with his sparkling. They were both busy and didn't have time for a sparkling. They also weren't in a relationship. He was nothing but an easy frag to them and he was sure they'd already found someone else. It was his fault for getting sparked and now he had to deal with it alone.

Feeling tired he yawned and turned off the TV. Finishing his food he set the bowl on a nightstand and curled up in bed. He wrapped himself protectively around his belly and fell asleep.

He didn't know what woke him up but he found himself jolting awake. He went to reach for his gun when a hand stopped him.

His optics widened and he looked over in horror to find Ratchet and Deadlock staring back at him.

He could feel Deadlock touching his tanks and he flinched giving them both a surprised look.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why didn't you tell us you were sparked?"

He looked between them in confusion.

"I didn't think you'd want him."

"Of course we would."

Deadlock frowned going back to touching his tanks in admiration. Ratchet pulled out a scanner and began looking him over

"The sparkling looks healthy and you don't seem to be in any distress."

He shrugged feeling uncertain as he looked between the two of them.

"Why are you here? Did you find out I was sparked?"

"No kid we came looking for you."

Deadlock nodded.

"We were worried when you suddenly disappeared and didn't answer our comms."

Ratchet gave him a wry grin.

"I didn't realize you were seeing Deadlock. Not until he asked me about you."

""I thought you two would have moved on and found someone else. We weren't exclusive and I know you two were seeing other people."

"We were seeing each other. Deadlock asked me if you were alright when we met up at our usual time. I'd been planning on asking him if the Decepticons had taken you but when we realized you were missing we had to find you."

"We've searched all over for you. Learning you were sparked was a surprise but we're both happy to be part of the sparklings life. We love you Hot Rod and we want to be with you. Please don't shut us out. We love you."

Ratchet nodded and he felt tears in his optics. Drift and Ratchet immediately comforted him as he cried because he never thought anyone would love him.

Drift and Ratchet held him promising they'd never leave him and he found himself letting them in. He'd missed them as well and he wanted them to be in his sparklings life.

Feeling exhausted the three of them cuddled together with Drift and Ratchets hand laying protectively on his belly.

Although they still had a lot to talk about in the morning they were all happy to be together again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY GOOD SIR !!!! (gender neutrally said)

Thanks.

Happy birthday @theoceanoasis

Day 7: zombies

@soundrodweek2024

Happy birthday to me.

(Au where the Overlord thing didn't happen, and Rodimus is a lot more appreciated than he knows. I want Rodimus to be loved ok)

Rodimus finds out he's sparked and is terrified because he remembers of how tank carriers were treated back when he was growing up, but to his surprise most of the crew doesn't really care when they find out. Some are even openly supportive, Tailgate and Rewind especially seem interested in learning how to care for a sparkling. Who knows, maybe Rodimus isn't the only tank carrier on board.

I mean, some like Getaway probably still tries to make terrible comments but Cyclonus shuts that shit down pretty quickly.

"Rodimus?"

Soundwave called out in concern when he recieved no answer. Walking through their apartment he found Rodimus sitting on the floor crying while holding a positive test.

"Rodimus are you okay? What's wrong?"

His mate looked over with tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sparked."

He carefully hugged his crying mate while trying to soothe him.

"I'm scared they're going to hurt our sparkling."

His engine growled as he pulled Rodimus closer.

"I won't let them hurt you or our sparkling."

Rodimus shook his head giving him a panicked look.

"You won't be able to stop them there's too many of them."

He sobbed and Soundwave wrapped his arms around him.

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. I don't want to leave the Lost Light but soon it won't be safe."

Rodimus cried shaking in fear as memories flashed before him.

"I'm sorry Roddy."

He kissed his forehead and Rodimus cried himself to sleep.

Rodimus had been on edge ever since he learned he was sparked. The Lost Light which was once home now felt like he was trapped in a cage, with predators who had no problem killing them both.

He shivered and ended up running into Drift because he wasn't looking. His friend had a weird look on his face and then he gasped and hugged him in excitement.

"I can't believe you're sparked Roddy that's so exciting."

His friend hugged him as he jumped up and down with a large grin on his face.

He gave him a nervous look while trying to free himself.

"No I'm not. I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Do you not know?"

Drift gave him a worried look and started dragging him towards the medbay.

"No I know."

He managed to pull his hand away still looking nervous.

"Roddy what's wrong?"

"You're not disgusted?"

"Why would I be disgusted?"

Drift gave him a confused and worried look.

"Because I'm s tank carrier."

He gave him a look as though it should be obvious.

"Of course not."

His friend looked aghast.

"I would never let anything happen to you or the sparkling Roddy."

He nodded feeling tears fall and his friend hugged him as he sobbed.

"I'm sorry Rodimus. I remember how things used to be and I can only hope they're different now. I will always support you and I know Ratchet will as well. You don't need to be worried about having a medic give you checkups because Ratchet will do that for you."

"Thank you."

He felt a weight lift off his shoulders as Drift began talking about the sparkling and how excited he was. They also visited Ratchet in the medbay who checked him over and confirmed that he was sparked and that the sparkling was healthy.

They didn't look very big currently, but he knew they'd get a lot bigger in the next few months. Although having Ratchet and Drifts support was a relief he was still worried about the others.

After getting sick on shift Megatron and Ultra Magnus had learned the truth. They'd been worried about him for a while noticing his strange symptoms and tried to take him to Ratchet. Even though he told them he was fine they didn't believe him and he finally told them the truth.

They'd looked at him in a stunned silence and then they both hugged him. He sighed in relief as they promised to be there for him and support him. Both of them understanding his worries and promising to deal with anyone who was rude to him l, which was nice.

He began showing a lot sooner than expected and it wasn't long before the crew knew. Most were supportive especially Tailgate and Rewind who both asked him a lot of questions.

When he asked why they wanted to know they both looked embarrassed and implied that he wasn't the only tank carrier.

Things had been going well until Getaway started loudly talking about how disgusting and wrong he was.

It made him shrink back putting a protective hand on his belly and Soundwave stood up looking enraged and was about to teach him a lesson, when Cyclonus beat him to it.

"Shut up."

He snarled and punched him in the face. Everyone sat there stunned except for Whirl who cheered.

"Let's feed him to the scraplets!?"

Cyclonus turned away from Getaway and went over to him.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded and after that no one bothered him again and if they did say something they quickly learned the hard way that was a mistake.

He tucked himself against Soundwave's chest letting his mate rub his back soothingly.

"I'm glad everything worked out and that we don't have to leave."

"Me too."

He cuddled against Soundwave feeling at peace along with their sparkling who was happy their sire was there.

It wasn't long before he fell asleep wrapped in Soundwave's arms feeling safe and secure. Something he never thought he'd feel as a tank carrier.
