-Author's Notes-

Hello guys! Well, straight to the point. This isn't the first fanfic that I've written but it's the first I'm going to publish, so I ask for all of the advice and feedback you're willing to give me, it would be very much appreciated!

Now; I'm sure you're all aware of the non-canon vehicon 'Steve', of whom you just can't help but adore! Well, I've read some stories about him and some didn't always involve him being in love with his general fascination, that fascination being Starscream. I read of him holding an interest in Soundwave as well, and this strangely inspired me. I truly feel as though Shockwave should get some love from a vehicon troop, and that's exactly what this fanfic is going to focus on, along with this vehicon's personal life but his personal life mainly involves his infatuation with Shockwave, so it's kind of unavoidable. If you're not interested, you might want to stop reading now.

So, I made up a vehicon named 'David' (Whoever figures out why I decided to call him that gets a cookie!~) and he's somewhat like Steve, that depending on how he is to me, but really, David is his own character. Anyway, if you wish to know more, read on!

Warning: Rating may change due to progress of this story but this chapter is currently rated T. Warnings will be placed at the start of each chapter, this chapter implies slash but nothing explicit.

Pairing - David x Shockwave

Disclaimer: This story is fan made. I do not own 'Transformers' or any of its characters. Transformers Hasbro. (I could say that David is my OC vehicon, but the vehicons Hasbro so I find it best not to.)

-The time of this story is set in the middle of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters, season three of Transformers Prime.-

I will try to update this at least weekly, I am currently very busy so please do spare me patience. I apologise in advance if I am late with updates. Also, future chapters will not have ''Author's Notes' as long as this, this is simply to give you all a basis of my story. I apologise for that also.

Please do read, enjoy and leave a review!~

- Number 214. AKA David -

It certainly isn't easy being a defective vehicon soldier. But of course, only I; 214 AKA David, am aware of this difficulty. I have to hide practically everything from my fellow vehicons and commanding officers, and really, it's slowly killing me on the inside.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only vehicon troop that is glitched. I've made my observations, I truly do have my reasons to think this. My comrades don't tremble uncontrollably like me when a commanding officer approaches. Their visors don't suddenly glow brightly when they are struck emotionally, such as mine does. They don't turn their heads to the side when completely distracted by the most simplistic thing whilst on guard duty, as I tend to do.

There are simply so many things that they don't do at all that I do all of the time; sitting up late every night as they recharge, sneaking outside to areas of nature on this organic planet, visiting the wash racks a lot more than necessary in vehicon terms, etc. So if there was another malfunctioned vehicon or two on this warship, they were either hiding their situation really really well, which I highly doubt, or they don't harbour emotions like me. They're malfunctioned for 'other' reasons. Reasons of which I really do not wish to know of...

In general; a Decepticon vehicon is loyal, obedient and desires what any other Decepticon should: The end of the Autobots and complete domination of Cybertron and Earth. Domination as slaves, might I add.

That was it really, but I really don't want any of that nor do I hold any interest in it. I've always been like this, an emotional vehicon, since my existence. It simply took a while to realise I was different. But anyway, I truly could care less about what happens to the Autobots. Well actually, I did at one stage care slightly but that was because I wished to join them in their cause. I can't lie to myself anymore, I am not a Decepticon at spark, so I felt as though that maybe I should join them, but there's so many reasons why I can't!

Firstly, I'm a Decepticon drone. The idea of me approaching the Autobots and saying: "Hey! I'm a completely fragged up vehicon that doesn't know what he's doing with his functionality! Can I join you guys so that I may have peace within my sad and miserable life?"

Yeah, because the Autobots really are going to believe that a lone Decepticon soldier that is considered to be emotionless and undoubtedly loyal to his master Megatron wants to be morally good and fight for the benefit of all. They'd probably think that my processor was overridden under Megatron's orders for spying purposes, and honestly, I have no idea what the Autobots are like.

They may seem like the goody-goodies but for all I know, they would probably kill me on sight the moment I make my way to their base! Yeah, you know? The base that no Decepticon knows the location of. It's a frightening risk that I really do not want to take, both searching for their base (Which is practically impossible to achieve) and approaching it. My hopes of being an Autobot are now nonexistent, but that's mainly because my hopes lie elsewhere.

The second reason, the main reason, why I would prefer to remain with the Decepticons is truly the one that keeps me here. He keeps me here. He keeps me hoping, he keeps me happy. He makes me want to live longer, just so I can see him, just to faintly hear his deep voice upon the platform in the main control room as I remain on the lower ground, remaining completely still, doing absolutely nothing. Just to hear his voice, that remarkably intoxicating voice that sends cold shivers through my frame.

I always have to refrain from suddenly hushing the busy vehicons beside me just to hear him further, but that would cause a lot trouble for me, so I really have to hold my glossa as best as I can and try to focus on not becoming suspicious. Though it was extremely difficult when Commander Shockwave would begin talking about an entire project's plan, that's when he wouldn't be interrupted, that's when my spark beats rapidly within its chamber and my frame begins to tremble.

I remember I dropped a datapad and broke it once, it was within the complete silence of the room and it was beyond embarrassing. Though it was actually the most amazing and best day of my life. That was the first time he ever looked at me! As did everyone else in the room before brushing the incident off and returning to their duties, but I didn't care about them.

It was his gaze.

I looked at him as he looked at me with his beautifully bright crimson red optic before shakily kneeling down, still staring at him as I picked up the cracked datapad within my servo. I just couldn't bring myself to look away from him. He then averted his stare away and returned to speaking to Megatron, that's when I looked downward immediately and stood up, running out of the room with the datapad still in my servo. My cooling fans had kicked in due to embarrassment, but mainly due to that moment. That amazing moment that I'll never forget. I always wished that he would look at me again, but it never happened.

Day in and day out, I just can't stop. I just can't stop my processor from drifting to him, to his dark purple armour with light pink illuminations on it. To the consistent shifting of his silver antennae and bright red glow of his reflective optic with black linings marking it. His long and intricate hose attached to his back, where his six remarkably proud fins stood tall, and is traced to connect with his incredibly impressive cannon.

He has so many beautiful curves, his arm, his waist and his thighs. Oh, they were my favourite. He doesn't even notice how unbearably enticing his hips are with each step he makes. That was one of my favourite attributes about him. He's nothing like Knockout, that medic always tries to look good as best as he can, and he does. I do consider him attractive, but he doesn't compare to that scientist. The purple mech who has absolutely no interest in his looks whatsoever, and yet he is positively perfect looking to me.

When he's talking, his body language? None. Usually, he is completely still. Rarely he would wave a servo. But generally, he's just standing there, explaining his scientific theories to Lord Megatron before making a steady departure. So much control. I've always dreamed of being the one to break that control, to take down that calm demeanor to a flustered and aroused one. The thought of seeing him, of hearing him like that made my spark ache with longing, I cannot begin to express how much I want this mech.

After Commander Shockwave left the main control room, that was it, that was the only time I ever got to see him.

Once a week, my shift in the main control room is when Commander Shockwave could go to our master and discuss his progress, and every time when he was finished I could hear Megatron say: "Excellent work, Shockwave." or "Most impressive, my most prized scientist." and I can never help my spark from skipping a beat, I always felt a sense of pride every time he said those words to him, though it tended to irk me when he would say "My scientist" or "My engineer". He wasn't Megatron's! Megatron had absolutely no right to proclaim Commander Shockwave as his in any sense! Though nor did I, as much as I wanted to, I never could. Still, when Megatron was impressed with his work, I always felt happy that he was working hard and doing what he does best.

I do not think I could bare watching Megatron attack Commander Shockwave for doing something incompetent, as if he ever would, but the thought of it made me very ill. Seeing Megatron assault Starscream tends to terrify me, for Commander Shockwave's sake, not mine! But I'm certain he wouldn't dare do anything to Commander Shockwave. Commander Shockwave is very hard working and loyal, and that's why I wish to stay with the Decepticons. Because he is staying. If Shockwave left then I'd be gone in a sparkbeat! I would serve Commander Shockwave, I would call him 'My Lord', not Megatron.

Within my spark, Commander Shockwave is my lord. My Lord Shockwave. I would do anything for him, and if the chance is ever given, I will. But in the end, it's hopeless. I have no hope of even standing near him, let alone have the honour of serving him or pleasing him. It does upset me quite often. Yes, behind my mask and visor a leak of coolant may seep from my optic as I remain alone in one of the dorms for the vehicons, my dorm being labelled 'Quarter 200-220'. Where another 19 vehicons would recharge at night along with me, but I generally don't. Being much too caught up in my thoughts, recharge is quite a hard thing to do.

I don't necessarily work hard on this warship, unless it was a duty for Commander Shockwave that is. If not, then my interest is lacking as my tolerance for the work grows thin, especially when that seeker is around and is nagging consistently. It truly gets so annoying having to listen to his screeching voice. I'm surprised his vocalizer has not yet broke due to the scraping of his voice against his vocal chords. I try my best to ignore Starscream, he can be rather frightening when he wishes but I know his game, and I know he is a coward.

I don't usually waste my time thinking of others though, Commander Shockwave is always the centre of every thought within my mind. It's always quite startling when I wake up from a dream about him, my spike pulsating within its casing and my spark thumping rapidly, my cooling fans roaring loudly. I always have to leave the dorm as soon as possible as to not wake anyone and swiftly make my way to the wash racks to clean myself up. I'm sure it's understandable why I now visit them more often than others.

I'm not in any sense ashamed of my attraction to Commander Shockwave. I love him. I'm proud of my love and I will do anything for him. I'll live my life happily so long as he content, and I know it won't get any better for me. As long as I get to see him, then I'm perfectly okay with that.

First chapter is complete! It's just a prologue really, just to give you an idea on David and who he is. And clearly, he really loves his 'Commander Shockwave'. He feels inclined to call him that, even in his mind because he respects him so much. He would call him 'Lord Shockwave' but he doesn't want to develop bad habits. He's quite smart, but even the thought of Shockwave tends to deter him away from common sense.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I hope you stayed tuned.~
