Optimus POV
Ever since my charge, (Y/n) had explained to me what goes on in her head she has acted stoic like me. I often find her on the roof when the children aren't here. She doesn't play games with the others anymore. She chooses to be alone. She told me it was because of her thoughts. She was brought out of it for a few weeks when I picked her up and kissed her, but then she went right back to it.

Today was one of those days.

We had just gotten back from a mission, reveling in our victory. I was about to ask (Y/n) if she wanted to drive around while the others partied, but she was headed for the roof. I followed behind, wanting to go on a drive.

Your POV
I've been faltering in the missions lately. I just wish I could be as damaging as Bulkhead, or strategic as Bumblebee, or agile like Arcee. But I'm just dragging everyone back. I haven't told Optimus, and I plan not to. "(Y/n)." I jumped as I heard my lovers voice. I turned to him. "Yes?" I asked. "C'mon. Lets take a drive. Me and you." He smiled sweetly. My heart was filled with warmth.

As we cruised down the street, Optimus started talking but I wasn't listening. "(Y/n)." I snapped out of my usual thoughts and turned to the radio. "Yeah?" "What is going on? Sweetspark I want to know." My heart almost broke hearing the tone of his voice. "Optimus I-I can't-"

"Sweetspark." His tone changed to firm. "O-Okay okay..!" I sunk in the seat. "I..I didn't mean to trigger your pt-" "N-No its okay." I straightened myself. I sighed. "So much for keeping it in.." I shook my head. "I just feel like I drag you guys in missions. I wish I were like Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee..especially Arcee.." I put my hood over my head as I felt the tears build.

"Sweetspark..." He trailed off. "Go ahead...be with her...why would you be with a human anyway." I turned away from the radio. He transformed, me in his servo. "No. I love you. I chose to be with you. Thats all." He smiled and kissed me. "B-but in the arctic-" "That was sharing our last condolences. I see her as nothing more than a teammate." He peppered my face with kisses. I giggled.

"You really know how to make me feel better, Prime." I kissed from his cheek to his dermas. "I'm sorry I'm like this, though." I glanced away, still having doubts. "Hey, its okay. I've got you."
