Your legs ran as fast as they could as you dodged blasts from Decepticons. You had been trying to help the Autobots, even though they had tried numerous times to get you away from battles and didn't know you whatsoever. You would always shout directions and warn them, and since you were fast, you could dodge the blasts fairly quickly. You also had a special taze gun, which would immobilize the robots for about thirty seconds.
However, there was one thing that stopped you sometimes, which was the fact that you were only human, which made you extremely fragile against these bots. "Fall back, organic!" Optimus yelled at you, as you took out your taze gun. Ratchet looked like he was struggling against Lugnut's brute force, which gave you the golden opportunity to utilize a sneak attack. You ran up behind Lugnut, careful not to make much noise, as you aimed carefully at his gargantuan arm. Your index finger pressed down on the trigger, shooting the electrified prongs into Lugnut's forearm, sending a shockwave throughout his body and immobilizing him. "Thanks kid, but you shouldn't be here." He yelled the last part in a concerned undertone. "Why? I haven't gotten majorly hurt ye- Aah~!"
Just as you said that, Blitzwing grabbed you, launching you both upwards. "Let me go, you piece of scrap!" You squirmed in his grip, as his face switched to Random. "Uh oh." You mumbled. "With pleasure~! AHAHAHAHA!" He cackled as you fell seventy feet in the air. You yelled, preparing to die. Your arm reached out for virtually nothing. Just as you hit the ground, Optimus pulled a Bumblebee move and skidded towards you with his side-tires out, extending his arm and catching you. "That's why." He said in a serious tone. Your eyes welled up with tears as your left leg throbbed in pain. You had landed on your left leg when he caught you, breaking it pretty badly. He raised the metal above his eye in confusion, soon realizing that you were hurt. "Sari, get her to a hospital!" Optimus commanded, setting you on the ground.

"Don't worry! I have a phone that I can call an ambulance on." Sari forced a smile, taking out her phone as you hopped with her to safety. Once you two were a safe distance, she took out her phone and called for an ambulance, giving out the street and vicinity. A few minutes later, an ambulance pulled up, the EMTs placing you on a stretcher and loading you into the back. "Thanks Sari, I'm in your and Optimus's debt." You gave her a forced smile as she nodded and shut the ambulance doors.

The next day rolled by, and your leg was all wrapped up, being supported by your two crutches. You wanted to thank them, so you went to Sumdac tower and asked to see Sari.
Sari walked out of the elevator two minutes later, waving to you. "Oh hey, it's you!" She walked over, smiling. "I wanted to thank Optimus aswell. Do you know how I can get in contact with him?" You asked. "Yeah, promise you won't tell anyone about it, though?" She asked. You nodded, giving her your most trustworthy face you could make. "Alright, follow me."

The two of you walked over to the base, stopping periodically to catch your breath and regain your strength. You finally made it to the door, reaching to knock but falling over. "Wooahh!" You shakily exclaimed, your crutches falling sideways as you fell forwards. "(Y/n)!" Sari yelled, concerned. You slowly sat up, rubbing your side, which had been hit by the crutch.
Optimus answered the door as you scrambled to appear presentable, which he took notice of. Optimus picked you up by the collar of your favourite shirt, letting you rest on his hand. "Woah, Optimus! You've done so much for me already, no need to carry me. I'm fine on my own." You sheepishly smiled. "Let me do you one more." He half-smiled. You blushed and looked down as you did. "So, may I ask why you've accompanied Sari here?" Optimus asked politely.

You lifted your head with a confident yet grateful smile. "I wanted to thank you for saving me the other day. Anything I can do in return, just tell me!" You exclaimed, kneeling and hugging his thumb slightly. You realized how in the moment you were and sheepishly returned to normal. His optics widened as they softened a moment later, accompanied by a genuine smile.

"Boss-bot's in love!" Bumblebee shouted, being smacked over the head a moment later by Ratchet.

Optimus cleared his voice synthesizer as he thought about your offer. You watched his optics roll around as he thought to himself silently. He looked down at you, with a light blush dusting his 'cheeks'. "Do you have anywhere to stay?" He asked. "Currently, I live with my parents. However, I don't intend to stay there." You chuckled. "Well then. My request is that you stay here with us." Your eyes widened, as did everyone else's. "Prime, she got seriously hurt-" "Sari appears to be much younger than (Y/n), and she hasn't gotten hurt too badly. Plus, she's done so much for us, so why don't we return the favour? I don't see the problem with it." He argued, Ratchet sighing and slightly agreeing with him. "That's really nice guys! Thanks so much" You leaned into Optimus's thumb and hugged it as hard as you could, until your shoulders hurt. Optimus was visibly blushing.

TIME SKIP

It had been about a week after you fully moved in, and it just had to be storming out that night. You were kind of afraid of thunderstorms, so you didn't know how this was going to go down with the mechs. You hobbled into your bed, neglecting to tuck yourself in.
Optimus walked down the hallway, stopping briefly to check on you. "Goodnight, (Y/n)." He mumbled to you, as you replied back with the same phrase. Once he was out of view, you rolled over and shut your eyes.

A few hours later, your sleep was disturbed by a loud crash. You shook awake, watching the window. It briefly flashed a light blue. The thunder roared as the lightning crackled, to which you responded by hyperventilating and pulling your covers over your head. Your body shook more with each rumble and crackle.
There was an even louder crackle, which caused you to shout
uncontrollably. Optimus and Prowl came running in shortly after, concerned for you. The reason that no one else did was because Optimus was directly next to you, and Prowl was a light sleeper, and not to forget; a ninja-bot.
Prowl flipped and looked around as Optimus knelt beside your bed. Prowl saw nothing except for lightning flashes and heard the sounds of the sky's wrath. "(Y/n), what's wrong?" Optimus asked, trying to pry the covers off of you. You didn't let go, but you revealed your eyes instead. "If I told you, you'd think of me as less.." You looked down. "She's most likely afraid of the storm." Prowl said, putting his shurikens back into himself. You hesitantly nodded, tears welling up in your eyes. "(Y/n), I'm not disappointed. Please don't feel like something simple like this would affect my view on you." Optimus consoled you as you sighed adjusting your covers.

"I think it would be best if she slept with one of us tonight." Prowl thought out loud. "However, it would have to be you, since my room has an opening." He observed aloud. "Would you feel more comfortable sleeping with me tonight?" Optimus asked you. You nodded as he picked you up and rested you on his shoulder like a small reptile. "T-Thanks." You muttered to the both of them. Prowl nodded and walked out, Optimus smiling slightly and following. He returned to his metal bed as you wrapped yourself within your quilt in the crook of his neck.

"I love you, (Y/n)."
