Dylan didn’t know what compelled him to come back.
The whole reason he’d run from his group home in the first place was because he was getting too attached to the Autobots. When he’d told Ratchet the truth - about what his father had done to him years ago it made him panic. He’d never told anyone, anyone the kind of abuse he’d endured as a kid... Telling the truth had made him feel vulnerable.
Then he spent so much more time around the Bots... Gotten closer, opened himself up... Only to be told he was moving again and panic. There he was, making connections only to have them broken like that.
So he’d run away. He hadn’t told any of the Autobots he’d done it - but after a while things had simply gotten too much. He’d run out of food, supplies, and even a roof to sleep under eventually. And so that brought him right back here, to Omega-1.
He’d long since learned a good way of sneaking inside, which was far from the problem. The problem was, of course, not getting caught. He knew he’d get a lashing, especially if Ratchet or Bumblebee were there. But he had to lay low, he just wanted to stay the night!
For some reason, he’d decided on the med bay. Maybe because it was comfortable and familiar, maybe because he actually missed the grumpy doc bot. But as he laid down, hopefully hidden among some tools he just hoped he wouldn’t see him this way.
Dirty... Cold.. Hungry. He didn’t want a lashing out now. But maybe he’d get lucky. “Don’t see him anywhere anyway.” He stated to himself with a sigh. Trying to get himself to fall asleep.

To be honest, Ratchet hadn't really even noticed immediately when Dylan had gone missing. It wasn't so much a lack of caring as he had had so much on his mind as it was. For all he knew, Dylan just wanted a little breathing room and the medic had been far too busy with his work to think too much about it. It was only around a week or so that the CMO took notice of how quiet things had been and that there had been a lack of shenanigans.
Sure he could go out and look for him, but where the heck were you supposed to start? Earth was a big place and it was about as much fun as trying to find a needle in a haystack as the humans said. Besides, taking off on his own wasn't exactly a good idea as it was. After the whole Jazz thing, and having Nightshade to take care of, the Autobots really didn't need him to go missing again.
By the time that the boy sneaked back into the Autobot base and into the Medical Bay, Ratchet had only been on his way there after a quick power nap. Those had been coming fewer and father between with him being one of the only medics left at the Autobot base, but how was he supposed to function if he was passing out while preforming surgery or something? He stepped into the room, immediately spotting something out of place along his tools, and something familiar at that.
"And where have you been?"

Dylan nearly jumped out of his skin.
He had heard Ratchet mad before but honestly he had not seen this coming. How did he just always know? He’d always been that way where he seemed to know where he was hiding no matter what. Sitting up so that Ratchet could see his disheveled and dirty appearance more... He stared him in the optics.
God where did he begin?
“Ok, look I get it. That was a really shitty move. And I probably worried y’all sick. But I swear to god I can explain!” Dylan told him, his voice was quick and freaked out. “And please, don’t call Fowler. Or any of the government - because I’m not going back - it’s not safe for me to go back.”
Sure he had run for getting too close, but that wasn’t the main problem. The main problem was he was being moved - as he’d mentioned and where to... “Ratchet, I had to run. You don’t understand. They were moving me again. Just when I was getting close to you guys. I didn’t - I didn’t want to go through goodbyes again,” he then brought up. “But it’s a little more complicated which is why I can’t have you call anyone...”
Without missing a beat - he then added. “They wanted to move me back to my old hometown Ratchet,” he explained. “My dad got out - and he wanted me closer to him...”
As one of only two people who knew exactly why he didn’t live with his dad anymore. Knew what he had DONE to him. He hoped Ratchet may at least understand his position.
