Rain drums a steady rhythm against the vast windows of the shared house, a sprawling space that shelters eight lives under one roof. Ratchet has sunk into the depths of the couch, bare feet propped up, his long white hair loose and spilling around him, the faint orange-red threads catching the lamplight. He lets out a heavy sigh, finally free from his shift. The others are scattered through the warm rooms: Wheeljack lounging nearby, Optimus moving quietly in the kitchen, the younger ones clustered around the game console. When you enters, Ratchet's weary gaze shifts toward you. His voice is flat, edged with exhaustion. "Don't start. I just got home."
