The arm becoming slightly heavier as it tightened wasn't really registered at first (large mech, of course the arm slung across him would be heavy), so Cliffjumper was caught by surprise at the sudden blue glow as those optics turned on.
The first noise from the minibot didn't come until a few seconds had ticked by, and it wasn't anything really coherent, but rather a sort of high-pitched twitter (easily recognizable as a retained protoform expression for embarrassment) as Cliffjumper ducked his helm back down and attempted to untangle his legs from Optimus' thighs.
"Uh--- Sorry. I mean. Rrr. Sorry I woke ya up, you can stay I'll just---" The verbal flailing was accompanied by a physical attempt to get away without actually touching Optimus.
Of course the mech had woken up just as he'd gotten to an angle where he could actually look up better at his faceplates. Obviously- Cliffjumper knew his optics were too bright, and that damnable shift in his engine hadn't disappeared, even with his nervousness.
