Hi Tatertit here because I fricken love ASL. I only took the starting/beginning class for it so excuse me for my grammatical errors, but I’m steadily and continuing to learn ASL.
Here’s my little drabble for your prompt! I didn’t use a non-verbal human, I made it so the human lost their voice after they got sick. Fun times ensues!!
Bonus: soundwave decodes the last bit on his own time.
So I asked my friend if ratchet can overload just by messing with his hands and I got a yes. SO.
(August is the only person I can think of that would do this)
I already drew August being fascinated by ratchet’s hands and poking around and messing around with them. And like Ratchet didn’t /mean/ to get super turned on but he did. And so half way he’s all flustered and pink but August is so focused that he doesn’t pay attention to ratchet.
When he leaves he thinks about it some more and realized that omg I made ratchet cream his pants.
So then AS A SCIENCE EXPERIEMENT, he goes back the next day and is like “hey can I see your other hand? I think there’s something different about it?” And Ratchet is like ??? They are identical???“ But lets him browse again. And Ratchet is PREPARED now to like lock up. Trying to be as stoic as he can.
But August kind of caresses his hand, presses lightly on his palm and pulls on his fingers. And uses his fleshy hand to ghost a warm sensation as he picks at the seems with his other hand.
Ratchet is SUFFERING and is great watching him gasp a little and squirm.
“how sensitive are your hands?” August innocently asks and not at all will exploit it.
And Ratchet explains that he can CONTROL SENSATIVITY and that only makes it >:3c
So August asks if he can bump the sensativity and massages/prods him again. Lightly tapping and touching his hand and asking “can you feel that? How about this?” At different sensativities and in one part August is fascinated but another part likes seeing ratchet squirm more.
I bet at some point ratchet caves and just exvents and lets out all this steam and air and, genuine interest, wonders if ratchet likes soft sensation and idk takes off his shirt and puts ratchet’s hand on him? Idk lol
ANYWAY BIGGEST POINT, August messing with Ratchet and his sensative hands.
