Lemme guess... one of your commanders pleased with your work?
Sure sounds like it to me.
He slowly wraps an arm around her, now she had her shoulder pads removed he could fit her in his arm.

"I don't know. I... just don't know. I might have done something terrible. I might have even done something... commendable."
Whitewash laughs at the idea. But she holds on to Round Up, one arm loosely under his shoulders, the other holding his hand.
"Not important. At least I hope it's not important. It makes my head hurt, trying to think about it. And there are... words missing."

Then don't think about it, it was just a bad dream Whitewash, no one's going to hurt you now and you're not going to be hurting anyone anytime soon.
Round up vents a little, his chest rising upwards to fill with air.

Whitewash nods wearily, not even fully aware of how she's laying.
"Faces without names. Names without faces. Missing words. Don't want to hurt you. Don't want to be that kind of person."
She shakes her head, which is pressed lightly against Round Up's chassis, and suddenly glares at nothing.
"And someone important. I'm going to get them."

The one who erased your memory...
Round Up pauses a little.

"I think so. Maybe. Perhaps. They did something. And when I remember what it was, and who they are..." The blanks are unpleasant. There are vague attempts at things that want to be memories, but might never have been real at all, "I don't know what I'll do. Ask them why, probably."

I'm sticking with my theory, to keep whatever you knew and what you did safe...
Round Up leans over a little.
We should get some sleep...

"Thanks for believing in me... even if there's not much to believe in right now..."
Whitewash curls up a bit in Round Up's arms. This time when she sleeps, she doesn't dream.
~~~
8 hours of sleep later...
Whitewash opens her optics. She's not entirely sure where she is - or even who she is. But then she looks over and recognizes Round Up, and that brings yesterday back. And there's a lot of blank spaces. But she's safe here.
She wriggles a bit, squeezing his hand, "Round Up?"

Round Up's visor flickers on and illuminates a little, he begins to move a little. Looking to Whitewash.
You're up?

"Yes, I..."
Whitewash sits up carefully.
"I wasn't expecting to wake up in a bunk with another mech, is all..." Whitewash blushes. It's still hard to think straight, "Not that I can think of a better place to wake, right now."

You were restless last night, when I came over to check on you, you seemed to settle down. Wanted me to stay.
Round Up smiles a little at her remark.

"Yeah, I remember that," Whitewash shifts, moving out of Round Up's arms a little, but still fairly close. And stil holding his hand too, "It's hard to remember the words."
She looks at her hands.
"I didn't dream. Yesterday feels like the dream. And I... keep getting like somebody's telling me words... like they're the only words..."

Yesterday was very real, you're just not used to being here on Earth yet. Once you've settled in more, you'll feel more at peace.

"I hope you're right..."
Whitewash gets out of the bunk and puts on her shoulders carefully, before sitting on the bunk again.
"I just wish I had some memories to compare these experiences to."

You don't have to, think of this as a clean slate. A chance to experience things a new.
Round Up rolls off the bunk and sits upright.

Whitewash slides her right gun in and out thoughtfully. It moves on her mental command.
"Y'know, I think these things are hardwired into me. How many Autobots have hardwired weapons? Seriously? I'm pretty sure most of us would need upgrades or implants..."
It's a worthy thought. A lot of Autobots are better classed as consumer goods. A few examples of Autobots with hardwired weapons are Warpath, Hound and obviously, Fortress Maximus with all those guns in his legs. Not that Whitewash knows any of those names.
She looks back at Round Up.
"I'm sorry. I got distracted..."

Its fine.
Round Up slowly slips off the bed and stands upright, making his way over to the sofa where Deputy was resting, he'd snuck in at night. Resting in his compact mode.

Whitewash stands up and walks to Round Up, knotting her hands together, but then smiles at the sight of Deputy, "He's cute when he's not talking," she whispers jokingly into Round Up's audio

Yeah, this time's about the only time I get to hear myself think, Round Up smirks a little.

Whitewash picks up Round Up's hat from the couch, and puts it on his head with a smile, "I suppose that soon... quite soon... fairly soon... I'll have to- need to get my own quarters for real?" she shuffles her feet a little, blushing as she thinks about how she spent the night here.
