Bumblebee and Smokescreen stood before their leader in awe as he made his entrance flying down from the sky. He hovered just above ground before landing his pedes onto solid ground with a loud thud. Bubblebee was ecstatic whenever Optimus returned to base. He always squealed over his arrival and ran up to greet him with sheer happiness. Smokescreen was just as excited, although he had a whole different perspective of his leader.

Seeing his frame standing tall more then ever with his hefty upgrade always brought him back to the moment when he saved the Prime's life. Even after Optimus was indebted to his choice, he still strive to prove himself to him. Optimus was impressed by his growing maturity from the rookie he started out to be. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the two energetic mechs jump over to him.

"Bumblebee, Smokescreen, how is everything?" he asked in his strong and sincere voice. Smokescreen shot two thumbs up at the Prime.

"Everything is ay okay Optimus!", he winked with a grin. Bumblebee nodded in agreement, spraying sentences through beeps and whirs.

"I am alright Bumblebee, don't worry", Optimus reassured his scout. He brought his servo forward and nestled it on top on Bee's helm, petting him with gratitude. Bee always worried for his leader, he would put his life on the line to keep him from any danger if he could. Bumblebee closed his optics and the doors on his back fluttered up and down with joy. The warmth of his touch spread across his whole frame. His gesture was very rewarding despite the reasoning. Smokescreen was happy to see Bumblebee's reaction, although he was starting to feel left out. He didn't want to admit it however.

Optimus looked over to Smokescreen while he was giving his attention to Bee. He frowned noticing the lonely look on his face. He knelt down to their level and wrapped his arms around both of them. Smokescreen's optic ridges perked up.

"What is it Optimus?", he questioned. Optimus looked at Bumblee who had the same expression and then back to the blue mech, a big smile forming over his face.

"I'm just so honored to have wonderful companions such as yourselves to get me through these hard days", his optics swelled. Both Bee and Smoke looked at each other, happy with where they stood in their father figure's eyes.

"We'll always be here to follow you until the end of our days", Smokescreen smiled back at the Prime. Bumblebee beeped in agreement. He saw the emotion seeping out if his bright blue optics, and couldn't help but step forward to hug him. Optimus pulled both of them into his embrace. Bumblebee nuzzled himself against his leader's strong chassis. He felt so safe, so comfortable with the warm surrounding his sensitive frame.

They huddled together for what felt like an eon before Optimus pulled away. Bee missed his warm precence already, but he continued to watch his leader, idolizing him.

"Thanks for being our one true leader", Smokescreen thanked him with honor and triumph.

A/N: Sorry this is so short and cheesy but it was a random scenerio i had in my mind.
