It was the same thing every night. The Autobot leader would finally allow himself to recharge but his rest would be a plagued one. Memories kept dreams away, scenes replaying over and over in his processor. His spark would throb as if from some phantom pain and, more often then not, it would end with one of the others waking him.
Tonight it was Sideswipe.
“You alright boss?” the silver mech asked as he backed up slightly to allow Optimus room to move. “Your spark was really pulsing there for a klik.”
“I am fine, Sideswipe,” the larger mech murmured as his jointed groaned a bit as he sat up. Sideswipe gave him a look of disbelief to which Optimus responded with a weak, reassuring type of look. “I promise.”
“...Alright but you should go see Ratchet, have him make sure everything is functioning right.”
“I will. But for now, you should rest, just as the others are. I will speak with him once day break comes.”
The silver mech still seemed hesitant but finally nodded and slid back then turned, slipping out of the Autobot leader's quarters. Optimus waited until his sensors told him the other was gone before his whole frame sagged and he lowered his helm into his servo, optics off-lining as a sigh slipped through his vents, his spark still aching as the memories pried at the back of his processor.
Memories of a brother lost.
