In celebration of another amazing story by one of my favorite writers in Tumblr AKA @in1-nutshell I've decided to finally drew stargazer also known as perceptor younger sibling! But I didn't color it fully since I wasn't sure what colors to pick except a few parts, I'm pretty proud of how it looks so far<3

This is the last time I request percy easily scared younger sibling

Buddy is a lot easer to scare now and probably needs therapy after been kidnapped

Percy and rodimus visit them more to make sure there safe and ok scared of anything happening to them again

Roddy and percey blame themselves for buddy getting kidnapped so they try to make it up to buddy by giving them gifts or roddy taking buddy on dates or just doing nice things for buddy

I really enjoy your writing

Buddy needs all the hugs they can get.

Hope you enjoy!

Bot Buddy Perceptor's younger sibling recovering from the DJD Kidnapping

SFW, Platonic, Slight angst, Romance, Familial, Cybertronain reader

MTMTE

It took a while for Buddy to get back on their pedes.

Both figuratively and literally.

The DJD torture session and the near-death experience did leave some scaring on Buddy.

They were surprised at how many bots had left a vial of inner most energon or gift by their berthside and room.

It was almost unheard of a bot escaping the DJD and living to tell the tale. Especially from a bot like Buddy.

However, Buddy didn’t feel lucky.

In fact, they felt even more terrified than before.

Before they could walk around the ship with no problem doing their everyday chores around.

Now they barely went out of their habsuite and if they did, it was usually accompanied by someone or with an array of weapons in their subspace.

Before they could uphold a conversation with almost anyone on board.

Now they barely looked at anyone in the optic anymore.

And no one could blame them.

They had an increase in visits with Rung happening almost every day.

Rung is just thankful that these meetings haven’t been as bad as when he first started with Red Alert. Though now, they were arguably the same or worse than how Red was.

Buddy refused to talk about what happened with the DJD or the escape pod.

The only one who knew was Rung.

Not even Perceptor or Rodimus knew what really happened.

Buddy’s jumpy personality turned from 0 to 1000.

The flight, fight, or freeze responses were much more noticeable with them now.

From completely booking it, to taking out their blasters and shooting, to completely freezing and feeling the rapid pulsing of their spark.

Some visiting bots who clearly had too much to drink thought it was a good idea to scare Buddy a bit.

Buddy had to get sent to the med bay again.

The mechs walking back to their ship laughing.

Whirl turning the corner.

“What are you laughing about?”--Whirl

“That scaredy bot! Oh! You should have seen their face when we scared them! HAHAHAHAH! Absolutely golden!”—Mech 1

Whirl looks up from his claws.

“Ah… So, let me get this straight. You numb nuts decided to scar Jumpy over there? The same bot who’s in the med bay right now?”--Whirl

One of the bots starts laughing harder.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Are you kidding me! That is just great! Bet they nearly had a spark attack!”—Mech 2

“Are you sorry?”--Chromedome

Tailgate, Cyclonus, Rewind and Chromedome come from behind Whirl.

“Psh! Why would we? We just got the drop on them and that’s it. They’re just faking it for attention.”—Mech 3

Skids and Brainstorm come from behind the bots.

Brainstorm looks extra furious.

“Attention!? That bot you decided to scare half to death went up against the DJD AND THEY ESCAPED! Are you even aware of the amount of damage you just did with your sick party trick?!”--Brainstorm

The bot pushes Brainstorm back.

Rung holds his arm while also looking angrily at the bots.

“You hurt them, and you aren’t even sorry about that? A bot who faced every Autobot and former Decepticon’s worst nightmare, and you decided to PLAY THE EMPERAN SUITE AND TASE THEM!”--Skids

The bots look more annoyed.

They don’t realize the bots growing numbers around them.

“And?”—Mech 1

One of the bots goes up to Skids and pushes him into Nightbeat and Nautica.

“We would do it again in a sparkbeat. Why don’t you just run back to your lab Pal.”—Mech 1

“Who uses pal anymore?”—Tailgate

“Not now Tailgate.”--Rewind

Brainstorm steps forward with malicious intent in his optics.

“Good to hear that then. You see the minibot over there.”--Brainstorm

Points at Rewind who was being held back by Chromedome.

“He’s got a camera bolted to his helm that has been livestreaming straight to the main brigde and the entire Lost Light. Now, my dear ‘pal’ you are going to get exactly what you deserve.”--Brainstorm

A furious Rodimus and neutral faced Perceptor armed with his rifle slowly walked to the group.

Brainstorm looks at the mechs behind him.

“Did you also forget that the bot you just put in the med bay was the Co-captain’s partner and Perceptor’s sibling? Hmm?”--Brainstorm

Brainstorm steps aside letting Rodimus closer while Perceptor took his distance with his rifle ready.

Rodimus flaming up his fists.

“Perceptor? Would you do the honors of starting?”--Rodimus

Two of the mech were shot down.

“Your turn Captain.”--Perceptor

Most of the Lost Light were ready to raise the pits on the bots.

Ultra Magnus took a blind eye when the mechs left the ship filled with dents, holes, and slightly melted frames. Even for him, that was a line crossed too far.

Buddy was surprised to see how many members of the crew had come to their aid and how many did want to help them deal with… this.

Buddy coming out of their habsuite a bit surprised to see Natica and Velocity at the door.

“Oh! Nautica? Velocity? Is there something wrong?”--Buddy

“Nope! We just wanted to take a walk with you.”—Velocity

“Oh, you don’t have to…”—Buddy

“Nonsene! We’re all heading the same place and we have so much to catch up on. C’mon!”—Nautica

Nautica extends her servo.

Buddy hesitates but takes it.

Nautica and Velocity flank their sides.

They have a nice chat until they reach Swerve’s.

Buddy’s servos start shaking a bit.

Nautica squeezes their servo while Velocity places one on their shoulder.

They gently guide Buddy through the bar until they reach a quieter place in the bar.

Tailgate, Rewind and Swerve wave over to Buddy from the booth.

“Hey Buddy! We saved you a seat!”--Tailgate

Buddy looks at Nautica and Velocity who nod encouragingly.

Buddy goes to sit down with the mini’s as Nautica and Velocity go on to another part of the bar.

Swerve slides them a drink.

“Your favorite. Don’t worry this one on the house.”--Swerve

“What’s the celebration?”--Buddy

“It’s been an entire week since you’ve finally gotten out of your habsuite. I think that’s something to celebrate.”--Swerve

Buddy looks down a bit.

Tailgate grabs their servo.

“It’s a great day Buddy.”--Tailgate

“And we’re all glad you’re here with us.”--Rewind

Buddy gives a small smile.

“Have I ever told you about how I met some local racers before the war?”--Swerve

Buddy knowing this story fully just shakes their helm.

“No, I don’t think so, do you mind…”--Buddy

“Oh! Well, it was a pretty drafty day if I do say so myself…”--Swerve

Rewind and Tailgate sandwich Buddy in a side hug while Swerve goes on with his story.

Little by little the Old Buddy slowly came back.

It was a bit, but it was progress.

Perceptor and Rodimus were two of the biggest helps Buddy had.

Both in their minds felt guilty for not knowing Buddy was taken and how they could have helped them somehow.

After Buddy was released from the med bay, Perceptor took some time off to be with them. Even when he went back to work, he started taking his breaks more seriously and started spending time with Buddy or trying to bring them to friendly outings.

“Buddy.”--Perceptor

“Percy?”--Buddy

“Brainstorm invited us to Swerve’s for a drink. Care to go?”--Perceptor

Perceptor offers his servo to Buddy.

Buddy thinks about it then grabs his servo.

“Sure.”--Buddy

They both walk down the hallway.

Every so often Perceptor would squeeze their servo gently as if to say: ‘I’m here.’

Buddy would give a weaker squeeze in response.

While he wasn’t exactly good at telling his feelings or expressing them in general, he made sure to let Buddy know that he was there for them.

Whatever they needed from him, he was going to do everything he could to do it.

There was an increase in servo holding between the two, especially in more crowded places.

Perceptor found out quickly that his talking and slight touches grounded Buddy whenever they looked particularly anxious.

He is developing a tracker for Buddy and an array of rescue devices for them.

If Buddy ever broke down with him around, he would first ask if it was okay to touch them. He doesn’t want to accidentally trigger them. If they don’t want to be touched, then he is going to sit right next to them while they let it all out. Then he’ll quietly tell them some stories of what happened in the lab that week. It usually gets Buddy’s mind off things.

If they do want touch, Perceptor is going to hug Buddy in a secure hold. He read that sometimes pressure was good in hugs. He might cry too if he feels like it. He won’t let go until Buddy tells him to.

He’ll end up letting go of the hug but will keep his servo in theirs.

Buddy sobbing on his shoulder.

Perceptor calmly soothing their back.

“Do you want to visit Rung now?”--Perceptor

Buddy shakes their helm.

“Do you want me to let go?”--Perceptor

Buddy shakes their helm quicker and hugs tighter.

“Okay… do you want to know what happened in the lab with Brainstorm today?”--Perceptor

Buddy pauses before nodding a bit.

“Well, Brainstorm had the ‘brilliant’ idea of hanging upside down again, but he forgot to latch on to his chassis and ended up falling straight on his face.”--Perceptor

Buddy weakly chuckles as they loosen their grip but continue hugging their brother.

Rodimus stayed by Buddy’s side any chance he got.

Magnus and Megatron allowed him some leave time to be with Buddy.

He found out that his touch and voice were also ways to ground Buddy from their thoughts.

He is pulling out jokes and sweet words of affection left and right.

He is going to make sure his partner knows that they are loved. Which led to many laughable and cute moments.

Rodimus slipped his servo into Buddy’s.

“And how is the prettiest bot on board doing today?”--Rodimus

Buddy is still trying to wake up from this morning.

“I don’t really know Captain…”--Buddy

“Aww Buddy don’t be—”--Rodimus

“I wouldn’t know how you’d be feeling unless I was sleeping beside you…”--Buddy

Rodimus just stops in place.

Rodimus ex has stopped working please reset your bot.

Buddy blinks sleepily.

“Roddy? Is something wrong?”--Buddy

“no—I mean—Nope! Nothing, nothing at all!”--Rodimus

“…If you say so…”--Buddy

“Did I mention you’re looking particularly radioactive this morning?”--Rodimus

“… I look what?”--Buddy

Rodimus’s mind is going ‘ABORT MISSION! ABORT MISSION!’.

“Ummm…”--Rodimus

Rodimus hugs Buddy.

Buddy is a bit surprised by the sudden hug but welcomes it anyway.

“Thanks Roddy.”--Buddy

Rodimus’s mind ‘MISSION SUCCESSFUL… kind of…’

It takes him a bit to realize that something’s wrong with Buddy being in crowded places at first. But when he does, he puts a stop to it.

Rodimus lets Buddy pick the date night activities and he is down for anything.

Cuddle? He is already on the berth.

Movie marathon? He has some earth films, and he can ask swerve for some movie suggestions.

He slowly gets Buddy to come back to their normal self.

If Buddy does break down around him, he is going to immediately go for a hug.

If Buddy doesn’t want to touch, he is going to sit by them and keep quiet for a bit. After most of the crying is done, he is going to try and tell a funny story to get them to smile a bit. After that he is going to whisper words of affirmation and affection to them while telling them everything is okay.

If Buddy does want to touch, he is going for it. Hugging them tightly and bring them in as close as he can. Most likely to act as the big spoon and tell them everything is going to be okay even when things don’t feel like it.

He isn’t going to let go anytime soon.

Buddy burying their helm into Rodimus’s neck cables.

Rodimus fighting some tears himself.

“Is this, okay?”--Rodimus

He hugs tighter.

Buddy nods.

Rodimus softly traces Buddy’s frame.

“Everythings okay… I’m here… Your brother’s here… the crews here… You’re here Buddy. I know it doesn’t look too bright right now, but I promise, you’re going to get out of this and your going to kick whatever nightmares you have in the afterburner.”--Rodimus

Buddy chuckles a bit at this.

“Roddy?”--Buddy

“Hmmm?”--Rodimus

“Thank you… love you.”--Buddy

Rodimus’s frame heats up a bit.

“Y-yeah… Love you too.”--Rodimus

Buddy is safe now.

They have a whole crew and family there to catch them if they ever fall again.
