Huffing to himself as he went through some unorganised datapads, Smokescreen grumbled a bit. Earlier, he and Bumblebee had been messing around, having fun, and he'd accidentally knocked over a shelf full of old datapads. As punishment, Ratchet demanded he be the one to reorganise them and fix the shelf. What scrap–

He paused, staring at one datapad in particular. He opened it up, beginning to scroll through photos and information and...

Sparklings. He realised with a jolt. This was a data pad full of sparkling photos and information on raising them.

Why did Ratchet have this? Well, Smokescreen figured that maybe the old bot was sentimental. Primus, for all he knew, one of these sparklings could've been the medic's!

After he was done cleaning up, though, those images stayed with him. Even as he went to pick you up, his human and partner, his processor was on sparklings and babies. Which was weird because he'd never thought about them before!

He was young by Cybertronian standards, so he had no business thinkin' about them, especially not now. And yet...

"Heyyyy, sweetspark!" Smokescreen called as he picked you up, letting you into his vehicle mode. "How was your day? Mine's been good, a little long 'cus Ratchet had me doin' some stuff for him– but, I, uh, I was actually wondering 'bout something..."

As he spoke, he drove to your private spot away from everyone, his mind filled with the thought of a sparkling. Between you two. A human and Cybertronian. Could it even work? Would you be willing to try? Primus, he was so nervous right now!
