Non-slash - A little boy gets a very special visit.

Playing With Kids Sunstreaker

Sunstreaker knocked gently on the door frame and peeped into the room. "Hey kid. You doing alright?"

The little boy raised his head and looked towards the direction of his voice, his lips curling into a broad smile. "Sunstreaker! You came!"

"Made a promise didn't I?" Sunstreaker replied, as he entered the room and sat beside the boy's bed. "I got something for you."

The boy sat up straighter. "Oh? What is it?"

Sunstreaker unspaced a box of Lego. "Lego's Pirate Ship set. Said you liked ships and boats and stuff right? Thought maybe we could build it together today. What do you say?"

"I'd love to! You'll help me wont you?"

"Of course. I'm not due back for a good few hours anyway."

Boy and Autobot got to work, spreading all the pieces of Lego out on the bed and slowly but surely began putting them all together, Sunstreaker stopping his own work every now and the then to guide the boy's hands to the correct pieces and places, the warrior's own hands as gentle as they had ever been.

Finally, as evening drew to a close, Sunstreaker picked up the flag, placed it in the boy's hand, then guided it to the top of the mast where the boy placed it in.

"And we're done," Sunstreaker said.

"How does it look?" the boy asked.

"Beautiful."

The child then stretched out his hand and touched Sunstreaker's face, running his small fingers over the contours, and carefully touching his mouth and optics.

"I think you're beautiful too," he said. "I can feel it."

Sunstreaker smirked. "You'll see soon enough."

At that point, there was a soft knock on the doorframe and a nurse came in. Sunstreaker gently ruffled the boy's hair, mindful of the bandages over his eyes, and stood.

"Time for me to go. You take care alright?"

"I will," the boy replied, waving in the direction of Sunstreaker's voice. "Thanks for the gift. Come see me again soon ok?"

"That's a promise, kid."
