Optimus gently held his brother, keeping him close as he let his interface cable slither out as well, connecting them both to each other's interface ports and looking at his slightly younger brother."I am here for you Magnus, until you pass brother."He told him softly as he lied with his brother, sharing the mutual interface to relieve the pain and stress his Spark was beginning to feel from the loss of his mate.
It had been too long since this had occurred and Optimus was well aware he could never replace his brother's spark-mate, the one he was bonded to and was soon to follow into death. But he was doing what he could at that moment and after a little time went by and the interface done Optimus merely lied there, holding Magnus in a close, comforting embrace, knowing now it would only be a matter of hours or days before he would be gone.

Feeling this, Magnus felt soothed and relaxed as he layed there letting his brother calm him and dull the pain his spark felt. While his bother did this and felt him stop, not long after, Magnus fell in to a relaxed recharge without the intense pain he had felt for so long.

Feeling and visibly seeing his brother relax, at last looking at peace Optimus quietly got up, letting his brother sleep and to give time to wait to see what happened. Activating the projection he quietly came from his brother's room, sighing softly as he had done his part and now it would be a waiting game of whether Magnus would live into the morning or finally leave this world, all of them likely feeling it if it did happen. For now Optimus made his way to the room he had seen Derrick go to, guessing he was with his own little brother and came to the door, knocking quietly on it to see if the boys were even awake.

Derrick had shared a quiet intimate moment together in their true forms as they had often done together to ease the stress and pain they both suffered. Tonight was no different, except that their uncle had been found and had managed to ease Magnus' anguish enough to finally let him rest in peace for once. Derrick knew they would soon lose their father, but at least their uncle was there, and soon they would be going with him to be with the Autobots like they should have been years ago. Hearing the light knock, Derrick lifted his head and hugged Richard close to him, both of them in their human forms on the bed, the fluffy blankets sheltering their bare forms from the winter chill as they snuggled close for warmth and comfort. He accessed his closed comlink, reaching out to the nearest and strongest frequency, finding Optimus' com signal. <"We're okay, Optimus... uncle..."> he corrected himself. <"We're still awake..."> The door wasn't locked and he didn't see any reason to deny Optimus entry to the room. They knew their father and uncle would understand what the younger brothers shared, the two of them having shared similar moments for thousands of years before they were separated. He nuzzled Richard's cheek before giving a soft kiss to his forehead. "It's okay, it's dad's brother, Optimus. He's their leader." he offered Richard quietly, reminding his younger brother who Derrick had found and brought home to help their father.

"It'll be interesting to see him in person." Richard commented quietly as he watched the open door, feeling his warm body cool off a little. With emotion, it naturally increased and decreased like a fire, and it certainly matched well with his abilities. He squeezed Derrick with a return hug, a little excitement shifting through him. It wasn't every day that they got to meet new family members, that was for sure.
He had a decent idea of what the leader was like already thanks to their sibling bond, but he was still genuinely curious, and such facts would not ebb his excitement about seeing someone new from the family.

<"I hope you two do not mind me coming in Derrick.">He responded before Optimus tentatively opened the door and stepped inside, seeing the two brothers together which at the sight he couldn't help but thinking back to his and Magnus' younger days before the war and early times of it. A smile came to his face as he greeted the two softly,"Your father is asleep for now you two and I have to admit you two remind me a lot of when we were younger."He said with a smile, still amazed his brother had children of his own but all the while was also happy for him.

Derrick nodded in response, offering a return smile. "Optimus, this is Richard, my younger brother." he offered so they both knew each other's names. "Yeah, dad's told us how close you were long ago. We ended up having some problems with going through some things, but dad helped us find ways to sort that out n keep it in check." he said then, blushing a bit at what it meant. The boys had gone through intense and painful rages, their insides almost burning with the desperate need for release. Their only outlet was each other, and that close intimacy had helped to keep their sanity and ease the otherwise unquenchable hunger their organic side craved so deeply. They knew it was not something their father had ever gone through, but they well understood why humans suffered so much through their adolescent years. As a result the young brothers had grown especially close, particularly over the last three years since their mother's death. Derrick certainly did not expect their close relationship to change any time soon, except perhaps to draw them ever closer to each other and to begin a familial relationship with their new-found uncle. At least that was Derrick's hope. He looked to Optimus for a moment then, his expression softening. "We're gonna lose dad soon, aren't we?" he stated as much as asked, reflexively pulling Richard closer to him after admitting his fear.

"Hello, Optimus." Richard greeted with a smile, though it was in part a sad one with all the emotion about them from being so worried about Magnus. "We hoped you could help, and we appreciate you meeting us here. He's doing better...right?" They hoped Magnus would be okay after this meeting. But their fears had yet to fade, as they knew it would only do so much. Sometimes Richard found it hard to not break out in tears. Despite being 18, family matters were no small thing for them, and anything involving his parents or brother put an emotional strain on him. He loved his family greatly and didn't want to lose another any more than Derrick did.

Optimus nodded in understanding, knowing humans were different from cybertronians when it came to their adolescent years, which helping them wasn't an issue with Optimus for his brother showing them how. It was how Magnus and him had gotten so close over the years. But now Optimus had to break the bad news to the two as his gaze became saddened,"His pain has eased slightly but I am guessing it will not be but a few days before it happens." He said sorrowfully, knowing the pain he would feel of losing his brother would be great.
Approaching his nephews Optimus sat on the edge of the bed beside them and grasped their shoulders,"If that does ever happen you two, I will look after you no matter what, even if you two are old enough to live on your own I am here for you." He told them honestly and reassuringly so that they knew they were not alone.

Derrick nodded, trying to hold back the tears that welled up then. He leaned over towards his uncle, needing the warmth and comfort of strong arms holding him and knowing Richard would need it too. He sat there quietly, his head on Optimus' shoulder, his eyes closed, with one arm around his younger brother, the other around his uncle's holoform. The week ahead was going to be a nightmare for all of them watching Magnus die, but at least they had their uncle and he had them, they could take care of each other and once they were back with the other Autobots, they would be safe, which Derrick knew that both his parents, Magnus and Andrea, would want them safe and taken care of. Who better to do that than their uncle and the Autobots, after all?

"Isn't there anything we can do to help, Uncle Optimus? We have some special abilities, but I don't know if those could help him any..." Richard asked hopefully. He knew what death was and understood it, but with the family experiencing their mother's death already, he didn't want to experience another so soon. He leaned into Derrick then, fighting back more tears, this night was not going to go over well.

Optimus held the two close to him, trying to hold back his own tears as he looked at Richard,"The only thing I know you can help with Richard it being strong for your father. Other then that there is no stopping him leaving to the Well of Sparks, I'm sorry.' He murmured closing his eyes as a single tear escaped down his cheek, hating to have to admit to the only possible two remaining members of his family that their father couldn't be saved. He could only be soothed from the pain and pass on in peace.

At Optimus' admission, Derrick shuddered and broke down, clinging tightly to his uncle and brother as he buried his face against his uncle's shoulder and cried. His Spark felt like it just shattered in his chest knowing he was going to lose his father no matter what they did to help him. Derrick's only consolation was that they could at least ease his father's pain so Magnus could pass more peacefully to be reunited with Andrea, plus the fact that he still had his beloved younger brother, and now they had their uncle. At least Magnus could pass in the comfort of his older brother's arms, Derrick and Richard would not be abandoned and alone in the world, and Magnus would be laid to rest among his own kind. Even with being twenty-six years old, as close as Derrick was to his family, losing his mother, then three years later to lose his father, was agony he couldn't bear as he held on to the only family he would have left as if his life depended on it.

Richard had trouble not crying when he sensed all the emotion between the three of him...and seeing his brother break down like this for the first time in a while pained him so. It always hurt. He wanted the pain to end. Biting his lip as he held back a cry, he hugged his brother, leaning against Optimus's holoform as the rest of the world around them seemed to fade to black in his mind. He wanted the pain to end, he wanted to stop it, and there was little he could do. He felt so helpless... "I'm so tired of this suffering...when the time comes, I hope it wont be painful for us." Richard would normally say this stuff to Derrick directly though the bond, but he wanted to let it out, and he wanted Optimus to hear it. It was hard to control his emotions right now anyway, and Derrick would certainly feel his mutual pain.

It pained Optimus only more to see his oldest nephew break down and Richard struggling to not do the same,"I hope so too Richard." He said, not knowing what words he could say that would ease their pain nor if he even could. For now he merely held his nephews close to him, letting Derrick cry for as long as he needed to, offering the support and comfort to the two boys in such a pained time of their life. Optimus just wished there was a way to stop the pain, praying to primus that he would have mercy on his dying brother.
