Ophelia came back to base in a very bad mood. Everyone immediately shut up and stared at her, wide eyes and optics watching as she ignored everyone and went on to her and Optimus' shared berthroom. Just then Optimus drove into base after he had to go on patrol after some other bots had to fight off some decepticons.

          "Is everything alright?" Optimums asked, seeing how silent the others were. They all shook their heads and helms. Ratchet simply pointed down the hall.

          "I see..." Optimus said. He knew exactly what Ratchet was trying to tell him. He then walked to his berthroom where an irritated Ophelia sat on the berth trying to calm herself.

         "What happened?" Optimus said, walking in and shutting the door. Ophelia simply shook her helm.

         "Nothing happened. I'm fine alright?" Ophelia said, with fake smile. Optimus sat next to her and started rubbing her shoulder.

         "Ophelia, I know you, there's something troubling you." Optimums said, gently pulling her closer. She sighed heavily, knowing she can't keep quiet.

         "That damned Starscream. He got to me today, I feel like an idiot for letting him anger me. A prime doesn't do that, and look I did." Ophelia said looking down.

         "Tell me what happened." Optimus said softly, he already had an idea on what Starscream had said to anger so much.

         "He said I didn't have the guts to just take the lead, just because I'm second in command doesn't mean I call the shots. He said that he hopes Smokescreen doesn't take after me and he called him a brat." Ophelia said, she was getting angry just talking about it.

         "I understand why you lost your patience, don't blame yourself. I would have done the same, after all he is the reason why we lived with so much heartache. You defended Smokescreen even when he wasn't even there, that proves you're a good carrier." Optimus said, hugging his sparkmate. Ophelia smiled, hearing his words of comfort.

         "How did I get so lucky to have you?" Ophelia said, snuggling into the hug.

         "It's called fate." Optimus said, leaning his helm on top of hers.

         "Ok stop, you might make me shed some tears, that's the last thing I need today." Ophelia said slithering out of the hug, smiling.

         "Happy tears right?" Optimus asked, trying to do the impossible and make her laugh. Yet, he's Optimus, he can do anything, so yes she laughed.

         "Obviously. Now I'm going for a drive, I need it." She said, leaving the room, a small smile on her face. The other bots were once again shocked, seeing the femme prime smiling.

         'Primus, I love her' Optimus said in his head.

         'I heard that' Ophelia said over the bond.

         'Good' Optimus said.

         'I love you too idiot' Ophelia said, chuckling.

Ah, the love... Beautiful isn't it?
