Every day that you weren't around was torture for little Ratchet, the times you left the base and had to go on a mission or just go investigate outside on Optimus' orders, it hurt his innocent spark and you knew it. Besides, he had grown accustomed to your company apart from the other Autobots and had an attachment to your person.

Today, he was hovering over your shoulder while you were in another meeting with your team, discussing a mission that had been a failure and that you would try again until you had better results. This no doubt didn't like well with Ratchet and he didn't hesitate to give you his opinion.

"It's still not going to be now, is it...?" he questioned with concern in his tone.
