It was a normal day in the Decepticon HQ. Well, for you it was, at least. Not for Soundwave.

You were walking around in the halls becayse you were bored and had nothing to do currenly. You walked past the 'con chambers when you heard coughing and gagging from one of them. You got confused- and curious -and walked to the room, knocking on the door. "Hello? Everything alright in there?" You said. The sounds stopped, or, the 'bot inside tried to stop the sounds he was making but was failing at it. He didn't answer your question.

You knocked a second time, and again, got no answer. You just decided to open the door to see what was going on inside. You tapped the codepad next to the door and it slowly slid open, revealing Soundwave on his knees with his servos(hands) on his face. "Soundwave?" You asked in a surprised tone as you approached him and crouched down next to him. You put a servo on his shoulder plate and he flinched at the touch, having his servos off his faceplate for a moment. You were shocked as you saw that Soundwave's mask was off, along with his visor. There were tears streaming down his faceplate and drool trickling from his intake(mouth). "What happened to you-?" You asked him in a surprised tone. You really wanted to see what his face looked like but he wouldn't show you.

"It's none of your concern.." He answered in his deep voice, through the coughs and gags he was doing. He seemed to be sprayed in the face with something since his eyes were watering the whole time.

You then heard giggling from the door. You turned and looked, seeing Frenzy and Rumble for a short moment before they ran off. You also saw a can of irritant spray in Frenzy's servo before they ran. You made a quiet 'Ah.' as you saw them before you turned back to your friend, Soundwave. "I guess that's what happened. Do you need help washing that out?" You said, though he didn't answer with words, just quietly nodded.
