(Lyrics credit: Open Your Eyes to Love by LMNT)
Chris sighed, he had rescently gotten his wrist brace off and had decided to take a break and to relax. He had brought only a few possesions to the base, since most had been destroyed with his house. One he had saved was his guitar, he sighed, relaxing on the couch, he finished tuning it. He sighed, he didn't know exactly what to play so he just played a song he had written about Monica.
He sighed, striking a chord or two, he began to sing and play.
"You've been searching the world to find true love... Looking in all the wrong places. When all of the time you've been blind to love. It's plain as the nose on your face is." He began strumming the strings more "It's here, it's now... Open your eyes and see it. Right here, right now... Open your eyes to love."
He sighed, stopping for a moment. He shrugged a bit, it still needed work in his opinions, he set a paper against his binder, writing down a few notes and lyrics onto said-paper.

"Sounds like you've got an ear for music." said Hammerfist, who was parked in his alt mode a short distance away. He usually spent most of his R&R in alt mode out of a sort of comfort. Comparable to a human sitting down after a long day's walk.
"Feeling any better?" he asked, noticing that his wrist brace was missing.

Chris's eyes turned to see Hammerfist there, he sighed, then looked at his wrist. "Yeah, the sprain apparently wasn't as bad as Ratchet thought." He admitted, shaking his head "It healed last night. So I'm back to normal for the most part with it. Though it's still a little weak."
Chris's cheeks went red at the comment about his music. He was very humble about any musical talents he might have. He didn't believe he was very good, but a lot of people seemed to. "Oh I'm not that good." He commented slightly "It's just something I do to relax."

"Good to hear." he said. "At least your damage heals itself. I'm almost jealous." he added with a laugh. "Here's hoping things stay quiet for a bit." said Hammerfist. "I wouldn't be so hard on yourself about the music though. Relaxing or not, it's catchy." he said, accompanied by a flash of his parking lights.

Chris had to chuckle, Hammerfist was sometimes amusing. He sighed, and put his guitar back in his case. He didn't really feel like playing anymore. He was still stuck on lyrics and he really didn't feel like getting irretated. He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Hammerfist. "So, what are you doing over here by yourself anyway?" He commented, looking around "I always took you as the outgoing, social type." He said in an honest tone.

"Sometimes I am, and other times I like to give myself some space." said Hammerfist. "Besides, I think everyone's been itching for some relaxation and comfort after the recent misadventures." he added with a nod, emphasising "misadventures" in an attempt to lighten the mood. "I mean, I've mostly been here as a "just-in case" in the event of a surprise attack. Heard some of the newer Decepticons showing up are tough to break."

"I heard the same thing. But I haven't gotten the chance to see a lot of them lately. Not that I'm complaining." Chris commented, in fact he was happy about this "I've been out of the base once for a date with Monica, but that's about it. And that went Decepticreep-free."
He commented with a look around, turning his head. "I may go for a drive in a little while actually. If I can find an off-duty Autobot." He didn't ask Hammerfist, guessing that he seemed to be enjoying himself "Sides is busy today, so I can't exactly take my 'car' out."

"I was about ready to go get some fresh air myself." he said. "Don't see any harm in taking you out to blow off some steam." With that, his driver's side door swung open, bouncing back and forth slightly on the hinges attached to the frame. "Your chariot awaits." he said with a laugh.

Chris chuckled, sometimes the irony in this sense was too funny. He nodded, a bit, and climbed into Hammerfist, buckling himself in and closing the door. He thought slightly of the last time Hammerfist had given him a ride. The last time he had, he had come to his home and found it destroyed. He looked down and his grip on Hammerfist's steering wheel loosened a bit. However, he pushed the thought back into his head. "Are you driving? Or are you gonna let me?" He figured he asked. Seeing as at times, the Autobots were ok with being driven. For the most part, usually that was Sidewipe. He didn't know Hammerfist's position on the subject however.

The only time he liked to drive himself was if he was out finding some new nature trail or something when off duty. Made good use of his 4x4 handling. Of course, the constant trailing through freshly rained dirt and mud made exterior cleaning a habit. And today was Saturday, his cleaning day, and he shined like he just came off the assembly line.
"You can drive, saves you the trouble of giving me directions." said Hammerfist.

Chris grinned, he was happy to hear that. He had learned to drive a bit better. Sideswipe had been teaching him a bit more, considering the fact he wasn't the best driver. And now he was far more comfortable driving then he was before. He took a deep breath and began drving, driving outside of the NEST Base. "If I'm screwing up at all, feel free to take control." He explained "I'm still not the greatest of drivers." He then added on the off-chance he was cautious about his paint job "But I've gotten a lot better at it."

"The only thing I really worry about is getting dinged by other cars or shopping carts in parking lots. Mostly because you have to be still." he said. "Besides, I'm sure you're a capable driver, or else you wouldn't have asked me to drive." added Hammerfist with a chuckle

Chris laughed a little, but nodded. This was true, he would never have asked any Autobot to allow him to drive them otherwise. With the exception of Sideswipe or his Father. Sideswipe was his car, and had agreed to let him drive once in a while. And Optimus, well... He was willing to let him drive as long as he was careful while doing so. He sighed, and grinned a bit. "Well I guess that's true. It's just a warning... I mean, after all, I was seventeen when I got my liscence." He didn't say that he still was or anything of the sort. After all, he was turning eighteen the following day. August 1st.

"Well come on then." said Hammerfist. "You're not gonna be seventeen forever. Make last day of the year worth it." he added with a rev of the engine, which let out an 8 pistoned roar as an act of encouragement.

"True." Chris smirked, he wasn't surprised he was aware he'd be '18' tomorrow. He was sure Optimus had spoken of it. Though he had specifically stated he did not want a big fuss over him turning eighteen. He looked around for a minute. "If you're sure." He floored it, figuring that's what the mech had meant the spee was, as usual, incredible. However, he was very careful not to go too fast, despite the fact they were far from any town.
