"I don't think that you are going to fuck it up," Soundwave said in a gentle voice. "I know your partner can't read you the way that I can read Ravage, but if you've changed that much, and he knows how big a deal that is...I'm sure he can understand that some things take time."
Soundwave ex-vents. "We are very lucky that we found each other early in life, although I wish I had found her in time to protect her more. We had to fight to stay together. Our relationship was also legally forbidden in our culture at that time, because of the differences between us, rather than the similarities. Those people whose forms are more animalistic were often regarded as animals by members of my caste, and only my brother could accept that she was my spark-mate. Has Joe not been in a relationship that is forbidden by local custom or law before? It must be different for him than it is for you and I. I have never been in love with anyone who was considered an acceptable mate for me under the old regime."
Ravage leans against him. "Human cultures being different...perhaps you should stay in places where you are safe? Soundwave's brother offered to send us out to the colonies for our own safety. If there had been no revolution brewing, no Megatron to lead us in revolt...we would likely have taken him up on that eventually."
