Ideas for Black!Reader Fic
I am going to try my hand again at writing. And I wanted to share some people and fandoms that I love. If you don’t know these shows/actors/franchises/movies/streamers I’m putting you on! For the following:
Johnny Depp- All his characters
Cameron Monaghan- I know that there are fics out there but it’s only always his Jerome/Jeremiah roles never just him or Cal Kestis
Anthony Carrigan- I loved Anothy as Victor Zsasz
Paul Dano- There are Riddler fics but not as many for his other roles
The Entire Cast of Hawaii Five-0 (2010) - Don’t even get me started on how good this show is! And the cast looks amazing!
Chicago Med/Fire/PD- These shows have so much potential for fanfic storylines!
The Game (2006)- Has great potential for slow burns and fluffs.
Star Wars franchise (1977-present) - I know I said Cal Kestis but there are also other characters like Anakin, Luke, Obi Wan,Boba Fett (etc.)
NCIS franchise- I honestly love this franchise and it’s characters!
Hamilton
Any/All Sports Men- Jude Bellingham,Lewis Hamilton,LaMelo Ball,Allen Iverson(etc.)
Berleezy - He’s handsome and he’s funny!
Coryxkenshin- I literally love him and his videos!
Albert Aretz (Flamingo)- Look … he may be the epitome of mediocre white man but I like what I like!
AMP- Duke Dennis, Kai Cenat, Agent 00, ChrisNxtDoor,Davis, and Fanum ( all I gotta say is love a black man from infinity to infinity🗣️)
Beta Squad- A British YouTube/ streamer group!
SOMEBROS- Berleezy, Rico, ,PG, Joe (etc.)
WWE- come on now, do I even need to explain!!!
Four Brothers- All the cast but Garrett Hedland in particular!
Peacemaker - Don’t get me wrong I love Adrian Chase but I want to see just as much Peacemaker x black!reader fics because 2 words… JOHN CENA
MAWS- New animated Superman show! Love!
Smallville - The entire cast is hot! Tbh I fell hard for Tom Welling when I was younger when he was in Cheaper By The Dozen. Plus they literally whitewashed Vixen. COME ON! Vixen is a black female hero btw. She was also with Jon (Green Lantern) at one point.
Justice League/Justice League Unlimited (2001 and 2004)- I mean I literally can’t find any Jon Stewart x black!reader fics and he was with a BLACK WOMAN!
Warner Bros Franchise (minus the looney tunes & space jam)- There are lots of popular franchises that this company has from Fast & Furious to The Matrix!
Peaky Blinders- Saw a Tommy shelby x arms dealer black!female reader fic on my previous account but even then I couldn’t find it again on that account. So it’s gone with the wind. And the cast (i.e the actors and other characters they’ve portrayed). Example: Cillian Murphy as Johnathan Crane.
Tumblr media
The Bear
FBI (All)
Vinnie Hacker
Tiktokers
Blue Bloods
Will Poulter- I haven’t really seen any Adam Warlock fics
Slashers
Stranger Things
Dave Lizewski
Eddie Redmayne
Macgyver (2016)
Fresh Prince of Belair
Guardians of the galaxy- Explanation? Do I really need one?
On My Block
Descendants (characters will be the actors age in real life.duh)- Love Boo-boo Stewart & Mitchell Hope!
Matt Rife
Joey Bragg (Liv &Maddie) - What can I say I love dorks!
The Boys- Haven’t seen that many fics about the characters and a black reader
Once Upon A Time- I love dark fairytales sometimes because they remind me that not every story has a happy ending and you have to learn from them. But this series is good for any theme really.
Walker Texas Ranger (1993)
Top Gun
Magcon: Whether you saw their vines on YouTube or vine, you know who they are
Dolan Twins
Mission Impossible
Euphoria- Entire show has great storylines with the potential of drama in fics
Shameless- Especially Carl Gallagher and Lip Gallagher
Creed- Michael B Jordan need I say more

River Phoenix
Batman Beyond
Rider Strong
Danny Gonzalez
Timothée Chalamet
New York Undercover
Past-Present Singers & Rappers/ Groups -Bow Wow, Tupac, Lil Baby, Nelly, Omarion, Prince, Michael Jackson, Jon B,Usher, Central Cee, Måneskin, New Edition, BTS, James Bay(etc.)
Anime(Any kind!)- Would love to see other shows, I know hunterxhunter,aot,one piece (etc.)
Bridgerton- There is very little Bridgerton stories catered around a black reader.
Marvel- Now that’s not to say that there aren’t any in fact there are many but I never see (Tobey Maguire Spider-Man stories and it seems like everyone tends to focus on the famous Marvel characters like The Avengers but not on other aspects like X-men or better yet, heroes that haven’t even gotten their own movie but are just as amazing like Squadron Supreme , it’s equivalent to DCU’s Justice League.
Secret Invasion- Not gonna lie , I’m feening for Gravik.😳
DCEU- Another franchise that pushes its other characters to the side. For example, Hush (Thomas Elliot) is literally the epitome of Bruce Wayne gone bad!
Ross Lynch- There are so many roles that Ross did so well in Like Teen Beach Movie or Sabrina.
Highschool Musical Franchise (2006- present ) I’m not just talking about HSMTS (2019), I mean even further back than that. I don’t see any Troy Bolton x black!reader and that’s crazy. I also can’t find any Zac Efron x black!reader
Interview with a Vampire (1994) and (2022)
Austin Butler- He did well in his role as Elvis!
Vikings - There are a good amount but still!
Transformers
Suits
Saved By The Bell
The Goldbergs
Parks & Recreation
Leverage
The Outsiders
Heart of Stone
New York Undercover (1994)
Addams Family
Victorious
Matpat
ICarly
The Real Bros of Simi Valley (2017)
Think Like A Man (2012)
One on One (2001)
Scorpion (2014)
The King of Queens (1998)
G.I. Joe Franchise
Terminator
Beware the Batman (2013)
Any and all Asian Idols/Actors
Seal Team
Mortal Combat
Bill and Ted
Barbie
Detroit: Become Human
Will Trent
Tokyo Vice
Growing Pains
Graceful Family (Kdrama)[Any Asian Drama shows or movies would be great as well]
The Regime
Batman: The animated series
If anyone needs ideas for these franchises/movies/shows/actors , then holla at me! I got you!
Also add more to the list if anything that you would like to see comes to mind.
Also tag black writers who you want to see this!

Lovers can't be on the same team!
Snowballfight on base pt2
Dec 15
Tumblr media
This is what it's like for the humans against any of the bots in a snowball fight
About this fic: Implied romance with OP, GN reader, no yn
Going at it for roughly 20 Minutes, the human fraction of your team asks for a break. After some initial shouting everyone was able to hear you and the snowy war stopped.
" We ain't as durable as you guys.", a blonde soldier named Jonas panted, letting himself fall onto his back into the snow.
"Make a snow angel!", you suggest, the young man complying immediately.
Curiously, the bots gather around to watch the soldier move his extremities in the snow.
Getting up he reveals the shape he created.
"A snow angel.", he proclaims proudly.
In less than a few seconds five of the (count) bots were laying in the snow, trying to imitate Jonas' movements.
Too busy having fun, no one noticed someone else had joined the group, watching contend.
Bumblebee was the first to detect the newcomer, greeting him with a lovely Christmas song
🎶Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.🎶
"Should I ask what this is about?"
Several heads shoot up at the deep voice they've all grown to respect and knew too well.
"We're uh...", Skids attempts on speaking, feeling caught. Mudflap hits him on the head with some snow and the two roll of fighting.
Optimus raises an optic ridge before turning to Dino, who spoke up. "We're indulging in some fun Prime."
"Snow angels, I see."
"What, how do you know what this is?"
He looks over to you and you try to hide your new snowball behind your back.
"They taught me."
"You made snow angels with them?", Ratchet asks in disbelief.
"Yep, we did. It was a fun time. Educating the Prime on earth's culture you know?", you snicker.
Bumblebee was busy hyping everyone up for another round.
🎶Get on your feet, you know you can't resist.🎶
You throw a snowball at Optimus, the comparingly tiny ball hitting a window on his chest.
He takes a lot of snow into his servos, letting it fall onto you.
You shake the cold blanket of snow off, laughing.
"Now that's just unfair!"
"You started it.", he states, fairly proud of himself.
Another snowball hits you on your back, thrown by Jazz.
Optimus bends down to grab some more snow, forming it into a ball and throwing it right at Jazz's chest.
"Hey Prime, you can't be on their team!"
"Why not?", he asks.
"Lovers can't be on the same team! Get over here and help us out.
Optimus looks towards you, while you laugh.
"Yep, it's an established rule."
"Alright."
Jazz throws a fist into the air.
"Prime joined the fight let's gooo!"
🎶Get this party started🎶

Bumblebee (Transformers) - Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Meeting Bumblebee and Sam was possibly the best thing to happen in your life. At heart you’d always been a nerd. In high school that really wasn’t a flex. You always sort of knew Sam. He was constantly running a little hussle on the side. 
It was adorable. 
But after the fight in the national city, things changed. Sam changed and then you met his cousin Bumblebee. You just assumed it was some kind of nickname. Your little crew had expanded. It was just you, Sam, Mickeala and Bee. You couldn’t have been happier. Especially since they were the only ones that seem to believe your theory of alien existence. 
Most people thought it was just a phase, but you were a scientist and you’d been studying the markings and messages since the battle that the government tried to cover up. 
They said it was an international attack and everyone just believed it. 
None of it made sense. 
You were determined to prove that with the help of your friends. 
“Bee! You won’t believe what I found!!” 
His blue eyes sparkled at your call, brown hair a bit tousled from whatever activity he’d been doing in the living room of the Witwicky household. You had pretty much become a member of the family. 
“Well Hello (Y/N) it’s always nice to see you. Can I get you anything?” Judy asked. You shook your head. 
“No thanks Mrs. Witwicky, I just had a scientific breakthrough. Come on Bee!!” 
You grabbed his hand, leading him to the backyard as you dropped your bag. With notebook in hand, you flipped the pages taking a seat as Bumblebee joined you. 
“What did you find?” He looked intrigued. The second his eyes landed on the symbols you drew, he swallowed. 
“I’ve been trying to decipher these for months and I think I finally cracked the code. “ 
There were a few scribbles, and next to the foreign writing was a few notes. “ 
“Bee these symbols have to be alien and I think I figured out what this one means. It says prime.” 
He was impressed that you were even able to translate the writing. 
“Of course there’s a lot more, it has to be, but I don’t have the entire message. So prime must mean something. In a lot of other languages it means savior or leader.” Your brows were furrowed as you reached for your computer from your bag, pulling up some sites to correlate. 
“Whatever it means, I'm getting close, I can feel it. I’m almost done with my radio system too. Plus John said that if I helped him with the last three cars that I could use the junkyard to hook up my portal. “ You did a little cheer. 
“It’s all starting to look up!!” 
You were overly excited, and Bee wanted to share your joy. But he couldn’t. Because all the answers you were looking for were right in front of you. It killed him not to tell you the truth, but Optimus was very clear about involving anyone else in this war. While they had an alliance with the navy, it was agreed that staying hidden, at least for the time being, was the best call. There were still Decepticons out there hunting them. Wanting to cause harm to the human race. They couldn’t allow that. 
“I’m protecting her.” 
That’s what he kept telling himself. 
Everyone around you knew the truth and Bee was worried that when you did find out, it wouldn’t be as exciting as you hoped. 
“Hey Bee, you okay?” 
You took notice of the sadden expression. He looked up, letting out a breath and he forced himself once again to lie to you for your safety. 
“I’m fine, I just did really bad on a test recently.”
“Why didn’t you say anything! It’s algebra isn’t it? I can help you. This alien stuff can wait. I have plenty of time to become a scientific genius. First I gotta make sure my best friend makes it through high school.” 
You placed all your items down with a grin, and the pit in his stomach just became worse. You literally just dropped everything to help him because you thought he was struggling. His spark felt a bit cold in his chest. 
“Come on, let’s go study.” You started shoving your items into your bag as you nudged his shoulder with a giggle. When you moved to the door, Sam came running out. 
“Bee Opti-Uh I mean your dad needs to talk to you pronto!!” 
Bumblebee’s eyes lifted, and you looked a bit worried. 
“Is your dad doing okay?” 
He almost forgot that even Optimus’s existence was another cover story. 
Bumblebee nods. 
“He’s doing better.” He assured you.
As far as you knew his father had an illness, hence his reason for living with Sam. You’d never even question why you were never able to meet him. One night you’d just sat down and told him that you understood what it was like losing a parent to an illness. You’d been raised by your grandparents. You barely remembered your parents because you’d lost them so early in life. Then shortly after you’d lost your grandfather. Now it was just you and your grandmother. 
His gut twisted, and he bid you goodbye, following Sam out the door. He hoped that this distraction would help his conscience.

I followed the autobots to the boys home. Ironhide trailed behind me for the entire time. It was annoying. His spark will be the first I rip out once I find the allspark and deliver it personally to Lord Megatron.
His spark will be the first I rip out once I find the allspark and deliver it personally to Lord Megatron.
Sam's pheromones are everywhere; it's revolting. Do all humans get like that? That explains why the human female didn’t want to stay with Trent.
Optimus emitted a peculiar sound, transformed, and crossed into Sam's residence. Mikela tried to stop him, while Bumblebee transformed and tried to stop him as well. Ironhide transformed and slammed into the side of my vehicle.
I transformed and shoved him. “Do that again, and I’ll rip your helm off and shove it in your aft.”
“Oh, you pissed her off,” Jazz joked.
“It was rather unnecessary, Ironhide,” Racthet scolded him. Only to receive a dismissive wave.
With a growl, Ironhide glared at me with his optics. Returning the glare, I entered Sam's yard. "Autobot scum, such a waste of scrap."
When he saw all of us on his property, Sam became even more distressed. Which is strange because Trent's sire didn't appear to be bothered by me, but I was in my vehicle mode. Thus, I guess I can comprehend the fleshings' feelings.
Optimus crushed something beneath his pede (foot), causing the boy to yell in frustration. I crossed my restarlueus (arms) and grinned faintly. It's rather entertaining to watch the autobots being ordered to keep quiet, and they simply cannot comply with the boy's request.
“Do anything funny and I’ll kill you where you stand,” Ironhide grunted. I raised my servo and switched it into my cannon, shoving it into his helm.
“Why don’t I do an act right now.” I grimaced, shoving the so-called weapon specialist back a bit. I heard the medic and the tinier mech point their weapons at me. Bumblebee waved his servos signaling us to knock it off, he came up to us and shoved us both apart.
Bumblebee shook his helm side to side at me then turned to his comrades. I raised my optical ridge noticing a rodent making strange sounds at us. It then lifted its leg and let out lubricant on Ironhide’s pede (foot).
I laughed then covered my intake(mouth).
Ironhide grunted in disgust, flinging the rodent in the air slightly and pointed his guns at it. Sam shouted and picked up the rodent trying to shield it.
“You have a rodent infestation, shall I terminate?”
“No no no, this is not a rodent, he’s a chihuahua! This is my chihuahua, we love chihuahuas!” Sam frantically answered back.
“He leaked lubricantes all over my foot.” Ironhide grumbles.
“Oh, he peed on you? Bad Mojo, bad Mojo.” Sam says.
“Good Mojo.”
Ironhide fixed his gaze on me and huffed, putting his guns away. Sam looked between Ironhide and I then apologized to Ironhide again. “Sorry it’s a male dominance thing-“
Ironhide walked away from the boy complaining that his pede (foot) is going to rust. Sam quickly ran to his home and yelled at us to shut up and to go hide.
Optimus told the boy to hurry then told the autobots to recon.
I looked down at Mikela. “Mikela, what is that rodent chihuahua? Is it like your bigger rodent at your home?”
Mikela looked up at me, her face seemingly in a panic. “Uh- yeah, yeah, it’s a dog, and we have them as pets.”
“Ah, like a cybertrion hound, I understand,” I nodded my helm at her. Dogs were like the hounds from home, that makes better sense, they have similar characteristics.
Bumblebee moved away from me and crouched down to peer inside the Witwicky’s home. Optimus then gestured Mikela over and held his servo down for her to climb on. She got on while Optimus moved her to what I’m assuming to be Sam’s room. Optimus then told Sam to hurry.
This is embarrassing to watch.
Bumblebee came back towards me and transformed into his vehicle mode.
“I’m not a damn autobot.”
I noticed everyone else transformed into their vehicle modes. I shook my helm watching the pathetic insects. I should kill them now. Optimus then transformed back, going over to Sam’s window, Sam became annoyed by something and the prime began to become aggravated but apologized to the boy.
“Autobots fall back.”
The others changed yet again. I rolled my optics. Ratchet walked into something that led him to fall, and his big aft caused the electricity to go out in the vicinity.
The autobots were around Sam’s window practically dancing around trying to avoid something. I could hear the older human with the gut yelling at Sam. Optimus then told everyone to hide. While Bumblebee wriggled to avoid being seen by Sam's sire, I hunkered down next to him.
After he left, I changed my servo to a gun and pointed it in the direction of the boys' room. I sighed then changed my gun back to my servo. Bumblebee swatted it away and violently shook his helm.
“The parents are very irritating, can I take them out?”
“Ironhide. You know we don’t harm humans what is with you,” Prime scolded Ironhide.
“Well I’m just saying, we could. It’s an option.”
“I agree with the specialist Prime, the fleshlings are rather small and useless, killing them would be beneficial.”
“Humans deserve the right to make their own decisions, we don’t have the right to decide for them, harming them will do no good.”
They don’t harm humans? What a shame. I’ll harm the insect’s plenty enough later.
Optimus motioned for us to follow him while Sam and Mikaela went with his parents.
I changed into my vehicle mode and tailed Bumblebee. Sam appears to have glasses bearing the Allspark code; the only issue at hand is figuring out how to obtain it from the Prime. Enabling my com link would reveal my strategy, and I must win the trust of the autobots.
There was a light static through my radio. Someone was trying to contact me? I accepted the static line and heard Bumblebee. He's easier to understand this way for some reason.
Y/N: You really trust me that much?
Bumblebee: I trust that you’ll do the right thing
Y/N: I’ll do right for our home.
Bumblebee: With Megatron?
Y/N: He knows what he’s doing.
Bumblebee: So does Optimus.
Y/N: Dancing around a human? Like a fool.
Bumblebee: He wants the humans to be spared from our mistakes.
Y/N: Does it matter?
Bumblebee: It does. It was our fault our home was lost, the humans shouldn’t have to pay for our mistakes.
Y/N: Did Optimus tell you that?
Bumblebee: Is it obvious?
Y/N: Yes… what’s going on?
Bumblebee: Sam and Mikaela were taken by other humans.

HoneyBee
Chapter Eight : Needing a Hero
Tumblr media
“A family friend told me something once; No sacrifice, No Victory.” - (Y/n) (L/n) StoryTeller / Hero 
8
Breathing is a good thing to remember during times like this. When the panic starts to settle in along with your current reality and expectations. Your nerves pump you with adrenaline, triggering your fight or flight responses.
And sometimes your first instinct is to react with emotion instead. 
(Y/n) let out a guttural scream before jumping up catching Sam and Mikeala’s attention. The two teens were by her side in two seconds flat Lennox not too far behind. A whine of whirr caught their attention to the side. A large figure of black and yellow moved slowly from the rubble, weirs and sparks emitted from stubs where his legs were supposed to be. Looking around there was no sight of his other ped. The reality of war was sinking in fast. 
“Bumblebee!” The girl pushed Sam away and scampered over to the scout. She horrifically watches him drag himself along the ground in pain. His two legs were gone, although she woke up besides one missing limb it didn’t make her feel any less positive about the situation. “Oh my god! What can I do? Tell me what to do! I can help you-I’ll help you-“ 
Sam started to help clearing a path allowing the scout to move though, “We got you Bee, you just gotta get up. Bumblebee? Get up!” 
“Ratchet!” (Y/n) screamed for help. 
What Bumblebee needed was immediate medical attention, and it was unfortunate she didn’t know how else to help in this situation. You think in all those books she’s read there were instructions for this. To help when they were injured and there's no help from their fellow colleagues. 
The girl went back in front of the cybertronian, her hands shaking and eyes burning. She didn't know what to do. No one around them knew what to do!
“You gotta get up,” Sam encouraged, “You’re okay. You’re okay. Come on!” 
As if things couldn't get worse the retracting sounds of a tank in the distance was hollow in her head. For the first time she got to witness a tank firing off in the middle of the street in real life. She had to give men in the service their props, because compared to them she didn't have any balls big enough for this kind of thing. 
She already had huge respect for the men and women in camo. But for now there won’t be a day where she’ll shy away for saying thank you for your service. 
“Decepticons can have tanks?” (Y/n) whispered solemnly, “These mother fuckers are cheating!” 
Sam could only stare in horror at the sight before him.
Jazz and Ratchet could be seen in the distance making their way towards them. It should’ve been a slight reassurance that help was on the way but the decepticon tank looked like it was ready to end them in one millisecond. 
“Come on! We need to move!” 
Mikaela stared at Bumblebee for a long second. This whole time the only thing she could contribute was support for (Y/n) and Sam. No where was it required for her to be the hero-the aid in this mission. But watching the bot drag himself on the ground with the Afro haired girl before him painicing did something to kick her into overdrive. 
The girl looked around before breaking out into a sprint down the street. A truck came into view giving the girl a bright idea for the scout for aid. Although she didn't know much about aliens or their species, she did know alot about vehicles. 
Bumblebee moved himself further next to (Y/n), he could see the sheer despair on her face and it made him sad knowing he wasn't able to provide comfort to her at this very moment. The crease in her brows didn't suit her, along with the long blood trail that outlined the side of her face. 
The stress of war didn’t suit her at all. 
To top it off, he couldn’t stop his spark from beating so loudly. As a scout he never had doubt in his abilities. He was able to get in and out of situations faster than many of his comrades and competitors. It was the reason why Optimus trusted him and the reason why he was so respected amongst others. In times like this age is just a number-a consideration. Your skills and mindset is what separates you from others. In the end you have to be at your best in order to survive. 
Bumblebee didn’t have to look behind him to see the damage done. He could feel it. And boy did it fucking hurt. 
But he couldn’t think about himself right now. He needed to think about the lives before him. The lives of families, friends, and strangers with dreams that are just a fragment of the imagination. 
This was a prosperous planet like Cybertron once was. And he be damned if this one falls as well. 
He crawled closer to (Y/n), her form shook with each passing second as she watched him. She never moved away though. The girl before him stood her ground occasionally looking for any signs of Ratchet to come to his aid. 
Unfortunately for his sweetspark they didn’t have time. 
“I’m not … I’m not leaving you.” (Y/n) stated inching forward, “Ratchet is on his way just give him a second-“
She was cut off with the black and yellow boy presenting the Cube before her. Her breathing hitched in her throat already knowing what it meant. (Y/n) grabbed it from him, the weight of it heavy. So many lives rested in the very object she held. And it made her stomach queasy. 
He let out a pained slow whirr at her expression. Hoping the look in his optics would give some form of reassurance that everything was going to be alright. 
Sam watched the two, his breathing uneven but concentrated on the task at hand. He knew that help was going to be a long time away with so much going on. Apart from the civilians and the Air Force they were on their own. Seeing his friend hold the cube sent his mind in a tizzy. 
How were they supposed to cube to safety with a big tank in the way? And how could (Y/n) get by successfully with a Decepticon blowing her into oblivion? 
Jazz ,Ironhide and Ratchet finally arrived for backup. The Afro haired girl backed up behind Bumblebee as she watched the three autobots practically disassemble the decepticon in the middle of the street. Sawed off arms, blasted in torso, and the head eventually being flown off. 
A smile slowly graced her features before being completely wiped clean. She heard the plan before she saw him. The low runner of death making her hairs stand on end  and spine throb. She could feel it in person. The one thing humans fear the very most ever in life. Death. 
“Megatron!” 
Sam zeroed in on (Y/n) as her face became slack. Her eyes never removed from the sight of the personification of death before her. Nothing else mattered to her anymore, she wanted to run-scream and hide. 
For once she doesn't want to be the hero. No, she wanted to be rescued. 
“(Y/n)!” Sam grabbed a hold on the girl's shoulders trying to tune out the yelling and screaming of civilians around them. “I need you to stay with me okay? You got to breathe! Don’t let them win!” 
Optimus appeared before them down the street, his stance firm, “It’s Megatron! Retreat! Move! Fall Back!” The Prime tried to hold off the decepticon Leader only to be knocked down quickly with a blast. There were simply too many casualties on the streets to go full on without someone possibly dying or gearing hurt. 
The soldiers filed back towards them just as a ‘Mikes Towers’ truck stopped in the middle. Mikeala hopped out of the vehicle, her face stern, “Sam, (Y/n)! Help me with this!” 
The three teens worked quickly with Bumblebee. Making sure the wires were wrapped around him tightly in order to haul him onto the truck. (Y/n) at first wanted to question if it would be painful for him to be tied up so roughly. Unfortunately they were all out of options and comfort was the last thing they needed to worry about at the moment. 
“What’s going on?” Lennox asked. 
A fellow soldier looked through the binoculars, frustration written all over his face, “Sir! That tank thing’s getting back up.” 
“Oh, these things just don’t die.” A helicopter’s propellers caught his attention, causing him to turn around seeing a large decepticon pierced on a large building. Dread and exhaustion filled Lennox’s body at the sight. 
“Oh we are so dead.” 
“Epps, get those Black Hawks here!” Lennox ordered. He looked to his right, spotting a tall skyscraper just east of where they were. “That building….” 
He worked quickly getting over to (Y/n). Out of all the people here he didn’t want to ask this of this girl. It was simply because she was a female either-it was because she had so much going for her and he would hate it if she had died. She had a grandmother to go home to, just like how he had a wife and daughter. Fighting for your life doesn’t make these decisions any easier. 
“Sam! (Y/n)! Where's the cube?” 
(Y/n) lifted the cube off of the back of the truck for the soldier to see. 
“Okay,” Lennox grabbed (Y/n)’s arm guiding her away from the cybertronian she was aiding, “Allright, I can't leave my guys back there, so here, take this flare-”
The girl shook her head, “What-?”
“Okay, there's a tall, white building with statues on top. Go to the roof. Set the flare.” 
“No,” She uttered softly, “Get Sam to do it I cant-” 
“Signal the chopper and set the flare-” 
“No! Get someone else to do it! I can't-!” 
Lennox grabbed the girl’s shirt roughly causing Sam to step forward to remove his hands by force only Mikela stopped him. 
“You know more about these beings than any of my men or any of us here on this planet! The moment you opened your mouth earlier I knew we had a future leader in that room. Wasted potential that system lets go to waste to fucking often.” The girl still continued to shake her head with tears in her eyes, fear running up and down her spine like a virus. 
Lennox continued, “You're more than a soldier right now. You're our last hope. All Right? I need you to take this Cube. Get it into military hands while we hold them off,or a lot of people are going to die.” He looked over to Bumblebee who was staring at her the whole time feeling a sense of dread wash over himself before looking back at (Y/n). “including them.” 
(Y/n) held the cube tightly, her lips wobbling as she looked back over towards the building. Leonox gave her a second to think before turning his head back over to the other two teens. “You two need to go-” 
“We're not leaving,” Mikeala said stiffly. 
The soldier grew frustrated. These teens don't know when to listen. “You need to go now!” 
“No, we're not leaving okay,” Sam agreed, “Not until we get Bumblebee out of here!” 
“Army Black Hawk requesting immediate evac for civilian girl with precious cargo. She is headed to the rooftop marked by the flare,” Epps spoke into the walkie talkie quickly before ducking for cover once more. 
(Y/n) started to be approached by the other autobots as she continued to stare at the building ahead. She was trying to slow her breathing, her heart was screaming in her ears and her lungs couldn't get enough air. She's never seen so much destruction before her eyes, and she was just given a task to run right through it to deliver their life or death. 
“(Y/n),” Ironhide stepped forward, “We will protect you.” 
‘Protect me?’ 
The promise seemed to be heavy on her heart. Here she was worrying about how qualified she was to do this and there were soldiers and autobots alike willing to sacrifice their lives in order for her to safely get the cube to high ground. 
But what happens after that? The sky can only hold the cube for so long before another decepticon finds it in their reach. Itr will be blown out of the sky and then the cube will be in their hands and terraform the planet. 
But the fact of the matter is-did they have any more options? 
“Lennox! Epps!” (Y/n) called after them, “Where are those planes?” 
Sam furrowed his eyebrows for a moment, watching the girl before him that he'd known for practically his whole life before it actually began. The good the bad she was always by his side, and for the current moment he couldn't be next to her, the time she truly needed her the most. He stepped towards her, catching her eyes as they downcasted towards the cube she ranted about so many times. He should've listened all those years ago; but who could blame him, he thought they were just stories. Fiction a dream that she wished to hear about. And they were now the story book, not knowing the ending. 
Two best friends, not knowing if they were going to live or die. One a hero, one a survivor. Or did it really have to be that way?
“Listen I know this isn't really the time to tell you this but—” 
“Don't confess to me right now—” 
“I promise you, I wouldn't think about doing that at this very moment because I'm four years too late okay?” The boy huffed before pulling her into a strong embrace, “Come home to me alive okay? You're my best friend practically attached at the hip. And if you die-” She felt him shake slightly with an exhale before he breathed in again, “A large part of me will die as well.” 
They both released each other, Sam sent the girl an encouraging smile before petting her head softly. Something he hasn't done since the tenth grade. Childhood euphoria washed over them seeming to come full circle. He took in her expression one more time before slowly releasing her, not knowing if it was going to be for the last time. 
“Now go fucking kill them.” 
(Y/n) let off a cruel smile, “Already ahead of you Lord Witwicky.” 
~ ✯ ~
(Y/n) (L/n) from today on has promised that if she survives this, she would document every fragment of her life from her on out. Because this shit could only be made up in the crevices of someone's twisted mindframe. 
Ironhide and Ratchet provided protection while the girl made her way down the street to the building. Rubble and black deprise was blown in different directions and made it hard to remain consistent within her sprints on the battlefield. 
The girl couldn't believe she was doing this. Her legs burned from the lack of exercise she had throughout her lifetime not to mention the asthma that was catching up to her. It was so hard to breathe each time she pumped her legs to move faster towards the building in front of her. 
With a shout she quickly avoided a decepticons ped that landed near her, Ironhid had grabbed the Con blasting him towards another building causing civilians to break out into more screams of panic. It really was a shame they weren't able to evacuate the city in time for these large robots to run amok throughout the streets. She was more worried with the fact that there was a chance there were humans stepping on more than the gunfire. 
She heard the sound of a plane and the shifting of metal behind her causing her legs to move faster than before. The hard thumps of ped steps in pursuit of her was what her ears focused on as she made through the waves of chaos around her. Never has she shoved so many people in her life. The cubed seemed to emit a thrumming sound around her arm and rib cage. 
(Y/n) pumped her legs faster trying her best to ignore the commotion and panic surrounding her. She screamed as she was cornered In between a store with a deception closing in on her, she ducked her head letting out a yell as the blades missed her by a hair, most of the damage being done to the car and store Windows. 
“Ironhide where—?!” The girl cut off seeing an all too familiar airplane diving right towards her letting out sounds that would awaken her in nightmares . Skidding to a stop the girl immediately turned around, the sifting of metal filling along with the crash and destruction of vehicles around her. 
Ironhide and Ratchet were there immediately, the girl taking cover behind another vehicle and rubble trying to seem smaller than she was. Never had she’d seen Starscream so up close before other than the nightmares that plagued her, and to say the description of his chilling red optics weren’t ones to laugh at. 
This was Megatron second in command. And he-he was flying away after taking a few hits. Although it was a bad time the girl did want to admit it was a bit disappointing from the cruel stories about the Decepticon second in command. 
Ironhide looked over at the girl anxiously, noticing her panicked expression, “Hurry (Y/n)! Get to the building! There isn’t much time!”
Shaking and breathing labored the girl did as told. Her thighs burned along with her lungs, cheeks aflame from the heat. Not to mention the desperate sweat clutching every crevice of her being. 
She wanted to go home. She didn’t want to be a hero anymore. 
(Y/n) stumbled over another woman trying to run away, apologizing quickly before keeping her pace towards the building. She kept her eyes focused, there were only a few more streets down and then she’d he was home-.
“Give me that cube, girl!” Megatron growled fiercely from behind. The girl could practically hear the terrorist order in her very brain, so much that it almost compelled her to do as told. 
Her heart thrummed louder in her chest as tears started to roll. The girl was so preoccupied with running away she didn’t notice the car speeding towards her. The girl hit the ground with a painful groan, watching the cube emit a blue glow all around along impacting the electronics around them. 
‘Oh no.”
“You stupid bitch! Did you just hit my car?!” 
(Y/n) sent the girl a heated glare simply throwing up the middle finger, before running back down the street in time to hear the civilians cries in the car. There was probably no doubt that the car had fully turned into a cybertronian by now. 
‘Looks like you won't be having a car anymore,’ She thought snarky.  
Finally the girl reached the building running through with a goofy smile on her face, “We can do this. We can do this! They’re not gonna get me! They’re not gonna get me-!”
A crash was heard behind her, cutting off her sentence of freedom , “I can smell you, girl!”
“Ew,” (Y/n) rounded the corner, her eyes placed on the stairs before starting to climb them, “ I do not want to know how that works.” 
Upon reaching another level the girl continues up, screaming again as Megatron emerges from the floorboards behind her. The war terrorist was persistent and she would give him that. 
She entered another room, a tired steadied sigh leaving her lips realizing that the staircase was still many more floors up. 
‘Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if he just killed me,’ 
~ ✯ ~
Mikeala let out a panicked breath pulling the tow truck into the alleyway. Sam was biting his nails anxiously looking back at Bumblebee who couldn’t stop moving his helm back and forth to see more of the fight. They were exhausted. 
The girl placed her head on the steering wheel rethinking the past couple hours; her following after a girl she had a crush on for years, the giant robots showing themselves, sector seven arresting them, finding out that the world has been visited by aliens, and now the world was in the same girls hands that was reading in front of the class not even two days ago. 
It wasn’t fair. Mikeala knew it wasn’t fair-none if it was. She’ll never get over the girl's face, her plump lips downturned and her eyes furrowed in anguish. She was facing a war terrorist alone-and the fucking three of her friends were fucking sitting here cowering in an alleyway. Frustrated, Banes got out of the car slamming their door back in the process. Sam followed suit, a worried expression on his face. 
“Y-you okay-what-“
“We need a new plan, right now.” Banes hissed, “w-we can’t just sit here and do nothing! She’s out there alone-alone Sam! Did you not see her face? I’ve never seen her make that face-!” 
The girl stopped a stray tear escaping before roughly wiping it away. She looked over locking eyes with optics that seemed to dim lightly. Something within her stomach started to churn at that expression; she had made it so many times before. But who was he making it for? 
“Bumblebee?”The black and yellow boy whirred lightly, showing her that she indeed had his attention. “You want to save your Storyteller right? The same girl you laid in the grass with?” 
The scouts expression turned serious, servos turning to guns immediately shocking Sam. 
“Wait-are you two thinking what I think you're thinking?” 
“Gonna try and stop us?” 
“No…” Sam smiled wildly, a look that the girl wasn’t expecting at all, “I’m just making sure that we’re all equally as crazy here.” 
The two teens got back in the car, Mikeala revving the engine before looking back at the scout. 
“I drive! you shoot!” 
~ ✯ ~
With a huff and breathless groan the girl finally made it to the top of the roof, push the cube of the ledge she quickly leapt off the ladder and onto the roof. Grabbing the cube once more she broke off into the sprint seeing the helicopters in view. 
“Hey! Hey! I’m here!” She rounded another turn scraping the flare against the way to get their attention, “I’m over here! Please! I’m right here!”
The girl. Was finally surrounded by hope, the helicopter slowly arriving in front of her as she quickly made way towards the sight. A soldier came forward, reaching out quickly for the cube. Just as (Y/n) made way to hand it over in the corner of her eye she saw a sight that made her heart quake. 
“Watch out!” 
“Missile!”
It was too late the missile was deployed and hit to the side of the helicopter sending it spiraling down below. 
“No!” (Y/n) cried, “No! No! No!”
She crawled along the ground , letting out a pained whimper not daring to look at the deep gash on her leg. She willed herself to be pulled up before breaking off into a run once more. A servo emerging from one of the vents caused the girl to scream, backing away, seeing another emerge just as quickly as the first. 
Panicking the girl looked around for a hiding spot, nothing to distract the con while she could. Looking around she spotted a pillar on the very ledge of the building. 
‘I have lost my damn mind’
She made quick to hoist her up the best she could before speaking her body as best as she could behind the pillar. She willed her whole being not to look down at the city streets below, hoping praying that by some grace of god an autobot would see her up and be ready to catch if she falls.
“Tell me, is it fear or courage that compels you, storyteller?” Megatron growled, “the stories about you were legend back on cybertron. To hear of a rumor speaking personally to an autobot light years away before your time and here you are, trembling like a mere morsel to be eaten alive.” 
(Y/n) looked around for any type of escape only to find the honking of horns and rumbled streets down below answering back at her. “Oh my god. Please I don’t wanna die!”
“Give me the All Spark and you may live to be my pet.” 
The last edge to the war terrorist tone sent the girl leaning backwards only to regret it a second later when the rubble was starting under her feet. A gulp was taken along with a tear falling down her cheek. She read a lot about heroes in her time of living-the good and the bad. 
The knights riding in on horses, the morally corrupt, all the way to the ones selfishly acting for the greater good. And she was about to be the one that dies in the end. It was funny really, the story she told the class a few days ago, the tragedy. A knight and his lover. But in her case there was no lover, if she had one they would be laying at her feet before she would join them in perlies abyss.  
This is what she asked for right? To face her fears? To help the autobot cause, to join the fight for her planet? 
“We all have roles to play within our own worlds whether it’s fighting a war or simply telling stories.”
She might have been born to fight a war, but she was to tell stories. And another way to tell a story to leave one through actions and shere bravery. 
(Y/n) looked back at the deception, a brave face being displayed in contrast to the snot and tears on her face, “I’m never giving you this All Spark! Tell Ultron I said hello!” 
“Oh so unwise.” Megatron snarled. 
The girl screamed as the mace came down upon her, seeing her off the roof and towards the streets below. Only the impact never happened, she was caught firmly a few seconds later in a gentle grasp incased by metal. 
Looking up the girl let out a nervous laugh at the sight of Optimus. “About time Prime! I thought I was dead!” 
“I got you, storyteller.” Optimus placed the girl on his shoulder plates before making way down the building, “Hold on to the cube!” 
Before the two were almost down to the ground Megatron hurled himself on top of them, throwing Optimus off balance and onto the rubble below. (Y/n) shook on Optimus’ chest holding the cube tightly. 
“(Y/N),” Optimus uttered softly gaining the girl's attention, she shot up showing that he had her attention. “You risked your life to protect the Cube. “ 
She chuckled softly, “A family friend told me something once; No sacrifice, No Victory.”
“If I cannot defeat Megatron, you must push the cube into my chest. I will sacrifice myself to destroy it. Get behind me.” 
“Wait-,” the girl started getting down her mind working overtime, “that isn’t right! There’s another logical way to solve this instead of killing you!” 
“As of right now we don’t have time to think of one,” Optimus sat up from the missed concrete and broken cars, “I will say it has been an honor meeting you Storyteller.” 
Turning to the war terrorist Optimus stood proudly ready to engage, “It’s you and me Megatron”
“No, it’s just me Prime.” Megatron snarled, sword at the ready. 
“At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall.” 
“You still fight for the weak! That is why you lose!” Megatron growled before throwing Optimus to the other side of the building. 
(Y/n) took cover in the chaos watching the two leaders fight. One good, one evil- the earth hanging in the balance along with a human shuffling about with a weapon or a source of life to be given. Megatron threw the Prime once again, causing (Y/n) to shout as it was too close for comfort.  
“No no no no-“ Optimus wasn’t doing so well in the fight, making (Y/n)s nerves on edge, they had to have help come in from somewhere. Just as the girl was losing hope reinforcements arrived with soldiers flooding in, shooting and firing at Megatron the best they could. Now with having the upperhand Optimus was able to gain advantage giving hit after hit trying to overwhelm the Decipticon Leader. 
“Damn you! Wretched thing! It’s Mine! All Spark!” Megagtron turn towards her, her stance ridged against the car watching the fight closely. She gripped the cube in frustration trying to think of a quick solution. 
“(Y/n)! Put the Cube in my chest! Now!” Optimus ordered. 
Wait ...if Optimus can die from the cube in his chest surely-.
(Y/n) stood up her decision final before looking over at the terrorist who’s plagued her whole life the moment she was told the stories about him. The good all the way to his genius crimes. She knew from this point forward, she couldn’t allow him the luxury of hiring or causing fear no longer. Autobot of deception alike. 
“You want this fucking cube! Take it!”
“No, (Y/n)!”
The girl held up the cube to the Deceptions chest watching it light aflame with vigor along with the cube disengaging before her very eyes. Megatron shook and groaned the once blue spark tuning red, eating itself from the inside out, causing him to convulse on the ground painfully. The leader turned his head, reaching out towards her one more time before his red eyes dimmed. Lifeless. 
Optimus walked over, seeming to be in a mix of disbelief and despair as he looked at the dead cybertronian before him, “You left me no choice, brother.”
(Y/n) watched the other Autobots crowded around, all seeming to be accounted for, except one black and yellow mech that was always on the back of her mind. Was he safe? Has his condition worsened? What about Sam and Mikaela? 
Optimus drew the girl from her thoughts as he kneeled before her, “(Y/n), I owe you my life. We are in your debt.” 
The girl shook her head, “No thank you, for believing in me.” 
A car rolling to a stop catches the girl's attention, along with the car doors swinging open crazily. It was only a moment before the girl was tackled to the ground by Sam, the boy was shaking his breaking laborer as he held the girl's face in his hands. A second passed the two childhood best friends looking at one another before (Y/n) broke out into a laugh tears falling down her face before enveloping the make in an embrace. 
“Did I do good Lord Witwicky?”
“You did better than good, you were fricken’ amazing. A better hero than I could ever be.” 
“Alright move over!” Mikeala pushes Sam away slightly before planting a soft kiss on the girl's cheek before enveloping her in a hug. “Don’t ever do some dumb shit like that for a while okay?”
“A while?” (Y/n) giggled, “You act like I’m gonna do it more often?” 
Banes smirked, “Knowing your predicament I wouldn’t be surprised if this is going to be your whole life.” 
A whirr and a shift on the truck drags the girls attention to a flash of black and yellow. Her eyes watered over letting tears fall as eyes meet optics. She shakily walked over to Bumblebee, scared that if she breathed too hard the illusion of seeing her new friend would disappear as fast as he appeared behind her at that food truck. 
Jazz leaned down slightly nudging bumblebee’s shoulder, “You gonna say something good?”
Ironhide gave a disapproving look, “don’t encourage that at this very moment. The girl almost died.”
The second in command nearly shrugged, before both mechs chuckled seeing how Bumblebee's door wings moved slightly in embarrassment. The scout wouldn't lie if the girl had been on helm the whole battle. Wondering if she was okay, if she remembered how to breathe, if Optimus got her in time-there were too many factors to consider. But here the girl was before him, still alive. One thing about humans they were clearly fragile from what he knows, but Primus-never had he thought this was a pleasing sight to see. The girl's hair was a mess, tears streamed down her cheeks-she a mess. And that's what made her perfect. 
“Y-you’re okay,” (Y/n) sniffled. She placed her cut up hand on the mechs arm a soft nervous laugh leaving her lips, “I was so worried,” 
Bumblebee simply let out a whirr of a sigh, basking in the attention the girl was giving him. He leaned down slightly to get a better view of her, only to be caught off guard with her wrapping her arms around his helm, cheek to faceplate. The mech's body grew warm-very aware of the stares from his fellow comrades that would most definitely tease him about it later. 
She let go, a wide true smile on her face, “Thank you for everything Bee. Once Ratchet gets you fixed up, let's read some more at home yeah?”
The mech's door wings shot up excitedly. Was she-was she asking to see him more often? She wanted to spend time with him-outside of the assignment given to him!
Optimus stepped forward drawing attention of the other participants present, “We have lost comrades, but have gained new ones. Thank you, all of you. You honor us with your bravery.”
“Permission to speak, sir?” Bumblebee switched between channels settling on the temporary voice ratchet gave him a few years ago in a scrap heap. It wasn't his true voice-but it was something. 
“Permission granted, old friend.” 
“You speak now?” Sam said ludicrously. Mikeala broke out into a laugh along with (Y/n) in response, The teen boy looked back and forth between them, “Are you seriously laughing-he's been using the radio!” 
(Y/n) shoved Sam lightly, “I love him using the radio. It adds character.” 
The scout perked up at that, his decision final. “I wish to stay with the girl and the boy.” 
Upon hearing the scouts request Optimus looked down at Sam and (Y/n). He wasn't against the mech being with the two teens in fact he would like to encourage it. Bumblebee had to grow up at an early age, not being allowed the luxuries of having fun with others his age. Maybe this would be a great start for a new beginning for him.  “If that is their choice.” 
The two friends looked at one another, wide smiles upon their faces. 
“Yes.”
“Of course.” 
Bumblebee whirred happily with his charges' decisions. Mentally already preparing himself for the endless summer of fun they were going to have. First he was going to need his legs of course…
(Y/n) let out a yawn shocking Sam and Mikeala, “okay, this is all great but my battery is running low and i need three days worth of sleep for sure.” 
Sam ran a hand down his face, “You couldn't just bask in the moment huh?” 
“No. We all have our limits Samuel. We just saved the fucking world, I think we deserve some sleep.”

The post I just recently came across opened up a can of worms so bare with me😂
I don’t think it’s any secret Michael bay doesn’t write female characters well so I always wanted to give Carly in Dark of the moon the benefit of the doubt but this scene fills me with rage every time.
Bumblebee is moments from being murdered execution style by a Decepticon (I think soundwave), Que/ Wheeljack was already killed and Bee is being dragged toward the spot where he will be killed when Sam starts to try and help him using Que/ Wheeljacks inventions she physically stops him and tells him not to. Bee would be dead if not for the distraction of the ship debris falling all around them. Sure Que/Wheeljacks invention ended up malfunctioning after she was telling him not to help Bee but if a distraction was all they needed Sam could have yelled or done anything else to help but she wouldn’t let him. It could be that I’m just extremely protective of Bumblebee but I will never be able to get passed her being willing to let Bee be murdered to save her own skin.
What do you think? Am I just extremely protective of my favorite character or is she actual trash? Perhaps both?

JAZZ lives!
Tumblr media
“YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME!? YOU WANT A PIECE!?” blasting Megatron’s legs, Jazz was angrily shouting while you were watching, standing on top the same building Megatron was on along with Jazz in his claws.
“No! I want two!” Megatron yelled angrily.
“Hey! Hey big guy! Megs!” you yelled as loudly as you could so Megatron could hear you. Your plan was to distract him. “Megatron!!!”
Just when he was about to rip Jazz in two pieces, he turned around because he heard you. Jazz took that opportunity immediately and blasted him in the face. Megatron groaned in pain and irritation as his grip on Jazz went loose.
“You ain’t that smart after all, you pile of rust!” Jazz mocked him as he got out of his grasp and jumped towards you.
Megatron quickly turned around and aimed at you both while groaning in indescribable anger. Jazz grabbed you and jumped off the building while Megatron was trying to blast you both.
“Hold on tight, baby girl!” not the best time for flirting.
Jazz transformed into his BMW and secured you in the driver’s seat with a seatbelt, driving down the building, vertically.
“WOOOAH! JAZZ WATCH OOOUT!”
Inching from the ground, he partially transformed to safely push himself onto the ground. He did scratch his bumper though.
“Aw man! Not the bumper!”
He was speeding through the streets, drifting and sliding like the pro he is. You could barely comprehend what just happened.
“Quite of a bumpy ride, huh~?” he said kinda seductively.
“Jazz, you’re insane.” you said, chuckling.
“You saved my life out there, kid, you know that?”
“Hey, what are friends for?”
“Yeah.” he chuckled, “ “Friends~” “

IRONHIDE lives!
Tumblr media
“For the sake of our survival, a deal had to be made… With Megatron.” Sentinel said as he repeated his gun.
Your eyes widened. Your heart skipped a beat as a heavy wave of adrenaline struck your body. The gun you were holding felt heavier than ever.
“IRONHIDE, WATCH OUT!!!” you shouted and started shooting at Sentinel’s face, aiming for his optics. You made him groan as his aim on Ironhide became wonky.
Ironhide turned around in time and got his weapons out. Sentinel managed to blast his arm off. It made Ironhide groan and lose balance, falling onto his knee as he was trying to shoot Sentinel with his other arm but the pain was keeping him away from being precise.
“NOOO!” you panicked because of Ironhide, seeing he’s badly injured.
“TRAITOROUS PUNK!” Ironhide cussed.
“GET BACK!!!” Lennox yelled.
Bumblebee reacted quickly, the fight was on. Sentinel managed to blast the base, sparkles and heat were all over the place, you could barely see anything. The sharp pieces of metal were flying everywhere which got you injured. Your arm was badly hurt which made you drop your gun and yelp.
Suddenly you could feel a huge, strong metal hand grab you and pull you back. Clinking of Ironhide’s transformation surrounded you and you soon found yourself inside of the black RAM.
He floored it along with Bee. You could hear him groan. His turning was wonky, he was barely driving.
“We need to find Ratchet, ASAP!”
“I don’t need no medic!” you could hear pain in his voice.
“Ironhide, it is not the time for your stubbornness! Please! That grandpa blasted your whole arm off!”
He angrily drifted into an alley and transformed back. You flew out and hit the ground as he slid down the wall, sitting down, holding his leaking shoulder.
You bravely got up and climbed on his leg, taking a better look at him.
“Ironhide, please…” you looked at him with pleading eyes, “This is serious and I don’t know how to fix it…”
Seeing you almost cry because of him made his spark ache. The fact you worry so much about him made it even harder for him to suppress his feelings…
“Fine… Call Ratchet…” he huffed, his ego kinda hurting.
And so you did. He was on his way. You were praying he arrives safely.
Ironhide picked you up and placed you on his other shoulder, gently keeping his servo around you. You smiled and leaned against his helm, giving him a hug. Funny how you both got your left arms injured. Twins!!!
“It’s gonna be alright… I promise…”
“Well I ain’t dying yet.” he chuckled through the pain, “I didn’t even get to take you out.”
He made you chuckle, “Well then. What are you doing tomorrow?”
You both had a good laugh as Ratchet’s sirens were approaching.
Ironhide was saved.

RATCHET lives!
Tumblr media
Ratchet and you were hiding on that abandoned boat for a long time. It was quite difficult for survival but you had him and he had you. He has great survival skills, he taught you a lot.
The night they went hunting for you both almost meant the end. Thankfully you were there with him to react on time. You weren’t sleeping, you were guarding the hiding spot.
It was a peaceful night with a clear sky. You furrowed you eyebrows once the silence was ruined by helicopters in the distance. They were getting closer, you saw them as well as bunch of cars on the dirt road. Your eyes widened as you ran to Ratchet.
“Ratchet! Ratchet, wake up! We need to go, now! They’re coming for us!!”
“Are you sure, Y/N?”
“Yes! I saw them in the distance! Come on, hurry!” you said while quickly packing everything you had, picking up your bag and running out with him. He had a bad feeling about this but he trusted you nonetheless.
The boat got blasted from far away, you didn’t even see who did it. All you knew is that it made you jump off the boat. Ratchet grabbed you mid air and transformed into the ambulance vehicle. You found yourself tumbling inside as he got onto the ground and floored it.
Someone kept blasting you from far away. It was Lockdown tracking you but you had no clue.
“Someone is tracking us! We need to lose them!”
“I know where to go. I suggest you hold on tight! Safety first!” he’s so wholesome.
Suddenly, Ratchet’s tire got blasted. Both of you almost went flying.
“Primus!” Ratchet exclaimed and groaned.
“WOAH!” you bounced inside, securing yourself with a seatbelt, “Your tire is gone!”
Nevertheless, he kept driving with no back tire. You kept being chased by enormously strong blasts until you lost whoever was trying to kill you.
“Whatever was trying to kill us… it isn’t human. I don’t think we have such artillery… and it wasn’t coming from the sky for sure.”
“Humans have made an alliance with the Deceptacons. They won’t stop until they butcher us all!” he said with emotional pain in his voice while driving deep into the countryside, going for an abandoned junkyard.
You sat there, resting. Ratchet seemed hopeless until he spoke.
“Optimus will come back. I know he will. All of this isn’t for nothing…”
You looked up at him and smiled, standing up.
“I’ll go find a spare tire.”
You made him smile, “Thank you. You’re a sweetheart…”
That night you saved the medic’s life without even knowing how butchered he could’ve been by Savoy, Lockdown and KSI…

Tumblr media
You were an EMT.
The two of you pulled up to meet with the other Autobots, you exiting the vehicle before he transformed. You were in awe as he and the rest of the cars all changed.
The biggest one, their leader, gave a rundown of everything that was happening once he confirmed Sam’s identity. This was just a recap for you as Ratchet had already explained. The teenage boy just stood there stuttering not really knowing how to process everything and you frowned again. That was when you really took notice of two teens just standing there. Having known what was expected of Sam Witwicky you frowned slightly.
“I don’t know about this Ratchet, he’s just kid.” You commented to the alien you had formed a quick bond with.
“And who might you be?” The one called Optimus inquired.
You gave him your name before the other yellow autobot, who you’d later learned was Bumble Bee, uttered something through his radio. It was hard for you to hear but the other robots seemed to be use to it as Ratchet responded immediately.
“The human. I like her.” Ratchet sounding irritated.
Bumblebee made another comment and right before Ratchet could respond one of the others chimed in.
“Wait why do they get humans?” Jazz asked incredulously. “I want one too!”
“Enough! Humans are not pets.” The one call Optimus Prime stated sternly, clearly tired of their bickering. You held your laugh, highly amused.
They were like siblings. A family.
“Exactly I’m just here to help and be a better tour guide than these kids can be.” You confirmed practically forcing your services on them. “Besides they need adult supervision. From the looks of it, you all do.” You grinned at everyone around you. Optimus gave a nod, agreeing.
“She stays. Let’s move.”
In that short amount of time things moved rather quickly. You watched the Autobots accidentally destroy Sam’s backyard when attempting to retrieve the glasses, you were all arrested, you escaped thanks to the Autobots, only to be arrested again.
Fail.
Finally you ended it some secret base. How get you weren’t alone. The government had apparently been on a roll with kidnapping civilians who “knew too much “.
Things weren’t going great but quickly went left when the Decepticons, the Autobot rivals, came to retrieve Megatron.
A war from another planet had officially made Earth its battleground.
You were nervous, trying to figure out how to calm everything down before things started to escalate. Nobody was going to get anywhere with all the bickering. That’s when you saw him.
It had been what? Two years?
Still, without even knowing it, without even knowing you were present, he was still able to make your heart be slow and fast at the same time. The army had aged him, but for the better making him all the more attractive but you couldn’t focus on that right now. Especially when you heard:
“The cryogenic system is failing! We're losing NBE One!”
All the soldiers begin to pack everything that they could to prepare in a fight the way they always did. It was an mirable the way Linux game orders in his men took them without a second thought. The trust there.
“That’s good. Get all the ammo you got.”
“Everything you can carry. Bring it.”
Tearing your eyes away from your former lover you grab Sam.
“Come on, we need Bee.” You reminded him, nodding in Simmons direction
“You got to take me to my car.” Sam said, then repeated when he was ignored. “You have to take me to my car. He’s gonna know what to do with the Cube.”
“Your car? It's confiscated.”
“Then unconfiscate it.” You stared blankly.
“We do not know what will happen if we let it near this thing! -“
“You don't know.”
“Maybe you know, but I don't know.”
You rolled your eyes at the insufferable mans rambling.
This was really was more about ego who was in control more than anything. The guy running the ship, clearly was on a power trip. Unfortunately for him he was facing off against soldiers . The Captain who’s eyes you could feel staring at the side of your face.
A Captain and his soldiers. Ones that really dont like to lose and take serving their country seriously.
The guy who arrested you earlier continue to argue with Sam about getting him back to bumblebee when Lennox finally pulled out his gun sick of the back-and-forth.
“Take him to his car!”
Tumblr media
As soon as he did so all hell broke loose and everyone from both parties pulled out a weapon.
“Drop it!”
It wasn’t until One of the sector seven agents pointed a gun at the back of Will’s head that you disable to another agent and took his gun and pointed it directly and held it directly at the one pointing the gun at your ex.
“I really wouldn’t.” You warned.
You were no soldier, but Will have taught you plenty before you broke up. So did your brother, before he passed away. He actually served alongside Will but died in combat. Biking. That’s part of why you were so hurt when Will re-enlisted. When he got promoted to Captain and chose the army over you. You were terrified of losing him the way you lost your brother. The break up wasn’t that messy but you both said things you didn’t mean. In attempts to mask your own pain and hurt one another.
You know. Hurt people, hurt people.
It’s still came to no surprise that you put a bullet in someone to protect him. Together or not you’d never let anything happen to him.
“I'm ordering you under S-Seven executive jurisdiction-“ Simmons ranted.
“S-Seven don't exist.” You interjected, earning a quick appreciative glance from Will.
“Right. And we don’t take orders from people that don’t exist.”
“I’m gonna count to 5. Okay-“ Simmons attempted to threat yet again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Well, I’m gonna count to three.” Will deadpanned.
You knew that look. God did you know that look and it was so wrong that you were so turned on.
Finally the Secretary of defense interfered telling Simmons to do what was being asked of him. Everyone relaxed slight, weapons lowering.
“Y/n,”
“Captain.”
The Captain and couldn’t help but watch you how do you get up and prepare to go.
“So that’s her huh?” Epps commented as Will watched you run off with Sam.
“Yeah..” Will answered, mind racing.
While he knew he’d eventually see you again, he didn’t think it would be like this. You looked breath taking.
“Damn. Shorty had your back that entire time.”
“Gear up,”
“What I’m just saying I thought she was gonna put a cap in his.” Epps shouted after his Captain receiving no response.
Will knew you had his back, you always would, the same way he would always have yours. He thought of you often, the break up between two inescapable, never feeling like he did the right thing. You were always not too far from the front of his mind. Him wondering how you were doing. If you were happy. If you found somebody else. There was no doubt he regretted what had transpired between the two of you. It was his fault. He knew that. You knew that. He had ample opportunity to fight for you and he didn’t. When he was promoted Captain he felt he had to choose between you and the army. He didn’t choose you the way he should’ve. In reality he could’ve had both. However hr so caught up proven himself to his deadbeat dad that he possibly let the best thing that ever happened to him go.
Not to mention trying to atone for your brothers death. It wasn’t his fault, but he still couldn’t shake it. So without talking to you he reenlisted. Needless to say where that got him.
Now hear the both of you were in the middle of an alien war. Yeah. This is the last place he thought he’d see you.
You were numb. The battle on the highway enough to freak you out. For mommy, just a moment you thought this might be a dream but no. This is all very real. One minute you guys were just entering the city trying to lay low, next thing you know - BOOM! The explosion knocked all of you over, injuring some, killing a few. Bumblebee’s legs were partially blown off.
Getting up off the pavement you waited for the ringing in your ear to subside as you stood up, trying to study yourself when you felt a pair of arms hold you still.
You knew it was Will just by the way he touched you, you blinked hard trying not to go down memory lane.
“Are you okay?” The concern in his voice was enough to make your heart skip a bear.
“Yeah,” you nodded slowly. “Yeah I’m fine.”
Slowly you removed yourself from his grip and went to check on Sam and Mikaela. Ratchet on the other hand -
“Hmm. His pheromone levels are-“ you quickly turned on him and glared.
“Ratchet I’ll turn you into a can opener if you don’t shut the hell up.”
The robot nearly held his hands up in the surrendering position as he followed you. Will had arranged an aircraft to pick up Sam and the cube while everyone else defended themselves against the deceptive cons in a hurry to get the cube far far away before Megatron arrived. Sam was in a panic and so Michaela, you could see Will’s short fuse getting ready to exploded. It was then you decided to be an escort.
“Sam, you can’t do this alone.” Michaela fussed.
“He won’t be alone.” You commented, causing all parties involved to look at you.
“I’m going with you.” You declared.
“No.” Will didn’t even hesitated as he stepped closer to you.
“Captain Lennox-“
“No!” You grabbed him by the front of his beer and pushed him back.
“Do you see what going on out there?!” You continued to hold on to him and you yelled at him over there chose. “We’re at a war. One we are extremely ill prepared for. So get your shit together! Sam is my responsibility. I have to get this kid to safety.”
This time your hands slid up the side of his face forcing him to look at you.
“Y/n..” he breathed out leaning down toward you, and for the first time during all this madness you could visibly see he was afraid.
“I’ll be back, Will.” You assured him, briefly resting your forehead against his.
Gathering himself he pulled away, looking toward Sam then back at you.
“Go. Go!”
And then we were running.. With nothing but an M16 strapped to your back and the pistol in your hand, you ran faster than you ever have before.
The four of you were under attack once more, you and Sam doing what you had to, to avoid getting snatched up as a fight Ironhide and Ratchet defended you. Unfortunately you were too close to one of the cars that went up in flames and you were thrown into another car from the blast.
“Y/n!” You could feel the blood on your forehead as you slowly pushed yourself up. As you tried to stand you immediately stopped feeling the pain in your thigh. Looking down could see the damage that had been done. The blood surrounding the afflicted area.
“Wha- what, what do i do?!” Sam asked frantically once he took notice of your injury.
“You gotta keep going Sam. I’ll be fine.”
He stood fo his feet, unsure of what to do. When Ironhide told him the same thing.
“Go!” You screamed once more.
Sam left and continued to run without you as you, as quickly as possible, as you tore your focus away from him to pull the shard of glass in your leg out. Ripping a piece of your shirt off you tightly tied it around your thigh in order to stop the bleeding. There was no point in going forward now but the return back to everyone else and help them fight.
You just had to avoid getting killed in the process.
You seen a car steering wheel, a Mountain Dew vending machine and and Xbox all turn into one of those freaky ass robots right before your eyes. All of which you helped others fight off. It was so surreal. In fact, if it wasn’t for the constant ringing in your ear from all the explosions you definitely think you were dreaming. You almost made it back to Lennox and his men when another Decepticon stood between between you and your destinations. They were definitely taking a beating. You saw Epps shooting a green laser indicating the robot that doubled as a helicopter wasn’t a friendly and decided to do what you could to keep the Decepticon from getting any closer to them and hurting any more civilians. In an attempt to draw it away from everyone else, you begin to fire your weapon giving it everything you had.
Unfortunately, the side effective taking its attention off the others meant putting the attention on you.
You ran trying to duck and dodge a bullets now directed your way.
Tumblr media
But Will. Will’s heart dropped. Seeing you there defending yourself alone. His pause was brief, the air forces plan already in motion, before he started the motorcycle and was speeding in your direction.
“William!” You screamed for him fearfully as he drove straight toward the robot.
The only thing you could hear was your heartbeat pounding in your ears. You almost couldn’t breathe, you don’t remember the last time you ever felt so scared in your life. But it wasn’t your life you feared for was it?
He rushed forward and slid under the robot continuing to firing the launcher. All you could do was watch as he drove toward you. Toward the danger your mind wondering if he did that on a regular basis. Was this the life of a soldier? What he went through day after day when he was deployed?
Standing up he only spared the parts of the dismembered robot a glance before shouting and turning looking for you. In a matter of seconds he was standing directly in front of you and pulling you into his arms.
Relief.
There was nothing like physically being about to touch someone, hold someone to really know they were okay.
“So…” you began, suddenly feeling nervous. “...That was hot-“
Before you were able to get another word in, he captured your lips with his kissing you roughly and bringing you closer, hands on the small of your back. You couldn’t help it kiss him back just as fiercely put in every emotion you had into that kiss.
Every ounce of passion he had in body, put into this kiss, your lips just as soft, kiss just as pure as he remembered. When you kissed, he knew he was a goner and could never let you go again.
It has been two years since the last time you guys have been this close. This intimate. Reconnected. The feeling it gave you, the indescribable feeling, was one neither one of you ever wanted to forgo again. Pulling back slowly, you both had smiles on your faces, Will pulling you closer to plant a kiss on your forehead.
“Excuse me,” Epps interrupted.
The both of you turning your attention on him.
“As cute as this shit is it’s highly inappropriate in the middle of the battle. I’m just saying we are trying to stay alive and shit.”
———————————————
Oh my fu- I don’t even know what this isssss

Renewed
A/N: Optimus. I love him.
Set after the events of Revenge of the Fallen, when they’re all on the aircraft carrier home from Egypt.
Tumblr media
Title: Renewed
Summary: After Optimus’s death and revival through the Matrix, you can’t help but feel as though you could lose him again at any moment. He, of course, is quick to put your mind at ease.
Words: 2772
Tumblr media
“Can I go, now?” you asked almost pitifully. The army doctor hovering over your bruised ribs rose an eyebrow and the corners of his lips turned upwards.
“Just a moment,” he told you, and you heaved a sigh, falling back onto the bed.
After the events in Egypt, everybody had been bustled onto an aircraft carrier to be taken home. You were one among many lying down on the rows of beds, being looked over by the medics aboard. Thankfully you hadn’t been hurt too bad – a few stitches had been required for a gash in your leg, but apart from that you’d escaped with nothing more than bruises and achy joints.
You winced a bit as the man pressed against your ribs a little hard, swallowing thickly when he sent a quick apology and proceeded to rub some chemical-smelling cream over the colourful bruises decorating your exhausted body. Focusing on something else seemed to be the best distraction from the uncomfortable pain coursing though you, and so when Sam turned a little in his conversation with Makaela near the door, you locked eyes with him. He held your gaze for a moment before seemingly noticing your pleading look, saying a few quick words to Makaela and moving to walk over to you.
“What’s the verdict, Doc?” he asked as he sat at the edge of your bed. “Is she gonna live?”
You rolled your eyes. “These bruises are the worst of it, Sammy. You’re the one with the broken arm.”
Your brother made a face and glanced at his cast. “Yeah, well. Thrusting an alien artefact into the spark of an ancient robot will do that to a man.”
The doctor chuckled and gently pulled your shirt down. “You’re free to go, Miss Witwicky,” he told you with a smile, “just ensure you don’t strain yourself too much or put extra pressure on your ribs. The stitches in your leg will dissolve, so don’t worry about them, but again, try not to break them in the meantime.”
“Don’t worry, Doc,” Sam said, clasping your shoulder as you sat up, “I’ll keep an eye on her.”
He nodded once before moving off to look over his other patients.
“Mom and Dad want you to come back home.”
You looked at your brother. Wow. He really hadn’t waited, had he?
Sighing, you rubbed at your eyes. “I guess I should’ve expected that.”
Sam shuffled back on the bed, lifting his legs. He shrugged. “Not forever, though I’m sure they’d want that. Just for a while until you get back on track.”
You didn’t reply to that. Really, your parents had disagreed with your choice of job since the moment you’d told them you wanted to work with the Autobots at NEST, nevertheless they had eventually given in as long as you gave daily updates and Optimus promised to keep you away from the work he knew would be dangerous. Of course, they hadn’t really needed to ask him to do that. At times, the ‘Bot could be far more protective than your actual parents… and annoyingly so, though you knew better than to complain, especially to him.
Either way, the point stood that both you and Optimus were as close as an alien robot and a human teenager could possibly be. Therefore, his death had shattered your heart and you were currently incapable of imagining being away from him. Even leaving his side to get checked over by the doctor had taken a little prodding from the Autobot himself, and now, sitting with Sam, you very much wanted to race back to him.
“Hey.” Sam shuffled around and placed his hands on your shoulders, not speaking until you turned your head to look at him. “Optimus is fine, alright? He’s alive and- and he’s good. In fact, he’s more than good. And I’ve got a broken arm to show for it.” He gave you a large grin and you breathed a short laugh, shaking your head. Sam drew you in for a hug, hand at the back of your head. “He’s not gonna leave you again,” he said gently, “not any time soon.”
You nodded and drew back. “Thanks, Sam.” A quick wipe at your eyes got rid of the few tears which had begun to gather. “Do you know where he is?”
“Yeah, I left him outside a while ago.” The corners of your brother’s lips turned upwards and he tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. “Go speak to him.”
Tumblr media
Optimus was speaking with a number of soldiers by the side of the warship when you walked out of the med-bay and into the cold of the sea air. You’d brought a thick blanket out with you and wrapped it tightly around your shoulders as you slowly walked towards him, not eager to disrupt his small meeting. His arms were on his hips and he was glancing between the vast ocean ahead and the group of men, including Will Lennox, on the floor, but his head turned when his optics caught sight of you making your way towards him and a small smile spread across his face before he turned back to the men. His deep voice wafted over to you with the icy breeze and you shivered once again, hugging yourself.
You stopped between his leg and Will, who wrapped an arm around you and squeezed you in a quick hug. You leaned into his side, not really paying much attention to the conversation going on around you and instead staring at the waves of the ocean the ship was gliding along.
You didn’t know how long had passed – it could have been a minute or an hour for all you cared; the beauty of the sea you rarely laid eyes upon had truly taken your attention away from reality for a while as you wallowed in your own placid mind – before Will gave your arm a pat and began to walk away, following the rest of the men. You watched them for a moment before subconsciously moving closer to Optimus and leaning your head against the cool metal of his leg.
He was silent for a short while, head dipped down to look at you, before he spoke. “How are you feeling?” he asked gently.
You sighed and tightened your grip on the blanket. “Okay. The doctor said I’ll live.”
He chuckled. “Well, that is a relief.”
“Yeah,” you agreed a little absently, and a moment later he leaned down enough to hold his hand out. You instinctively stepped on and waited until he’d straightened up and raised you to his shoulder before seating yourself there, holding onto his plating. “It’s colder up here,” you told him, lifting your legs and wrapping your arms around them.
“Is it?”
“Mhm.” You waited a moment. “How are you feeling?”
You turned to look at him, but he kept facing ahead. “Fine,” he said, and then he smiled and moved his head to gaze right back at you. “I truly am. But I suppose you are not. At least not about what happened to me.”
Face falling, you snapped your head around and grumbled. “Way to bring it up.”
“I didn’t. You did.”
“Not like that!”
“Nonetheless.” He rose an optic ridge at your following silence, but said nothing, simply waiting for you to speak up when you so wished.
“My parents want me to come home with them for a while.”
“That is understandable.”
“Yeah, I guess…” You paused for a moment before continuing. “Hey. Can the- uh…” He waited patiently. “Can the Matrix be used again?” You weren’t looking at him, instead huddling under the blanket you’d brought out with you and gazing ahead at the waves of the ocean as you shivered a little from the cold. Your voice was quiet, and he doubted he would have heard it had you been any further away from his audio receptors, but he could tell it was hesitant and not too sure of itself.
He knew the reason for the question.
“It can,” he said.
You were quiet for a little longer this time. “So, if… hypothetically… if you- I mean, if a ‘Bot ever came into that situation…”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
He turned his head to gaze thoughtfully at you. “I won’t have need of it again, Y/N. At least not to resurrect me.”
“I never said you would,” you told him adamantly, eyes darting to look into the blues of his optics, but when a knowing smirk began to pull at his lips, you turned away from him.
Optimus waited yet again.
A moment later you slumped over yourself, frowned and heaved a deep sigh, twisting yourself around to fully face him. “How do you know?” you asked, and that smirk played across his lips freely.
“Just trust that I do, little one.”
“I do trust you, but… but how can somebody know that they’re not going to die? And in your case, die again.”
The ‘Bot sighed and turned slightly to begin walking slowly along the edge of the ship. In all honesty, his death had still rocked him a little, despite his lack of showing it. Waking after Sam had thrust the matrix into him and restarted his spark had been a shock, if anything. When you die, you expect to stay dead. Even him. Yet, here he was, walking, talking, you on his shoulder as though he hadn’t been killed by Megatron at all. And it was… an odd thing to think about. Which was why he could understand your obvious trepidation about leaving him. It was something he wished to quell, however.
Stopping at the other end of the ship, Optimus crossed his arms over his chest. “You should know me well enough to know I am not easily killed, little one,” he said smoothly, and you shifted closer to his head, tucking your hair behind your ear. “I have been alive a very, very long time, and in that very, very long time I have only met my end once. I am not eager for it to happen again.” He turned his head towards you and offered you a warm smile, which you returned, but not at all as sincerely.
“Still,” you told him, “you can’t blame me for… well…”
“Sticking to me like a leech?” he suggested with a brief raise of an optic ridge. You couldn’t even glare at him. Instead, you shrugged a little sheepishly and tucked your blanket under you to keep it from blowing in the wind.
“Yeah. That. You can’t blame me.”
“No. I understand.”
“Good.”
“And yet… I would still like for you to go home with your parents. Even if only for a short while. It’ll be good, if not for you then for them; I expect this is the furthest they’ve ever been from safety and the first time they have seen both their children in such dangerous situations.”
You nodded. “You can say that again. Dad didn’t let go of my arm once until we got on the ship and to the medics.”
He chuckled. “I noticed.”
“Did Ratchet take a look at you?”
The Autobot just about refrained from sighing at that. No matter what he said, your worries simply would not disappear, and, in a way, he found it discomforting. To live a life constantly in fear of losing your loved ones was not a life well-lived at all, and so the look he turned on you was one of utter seriousness. “Yes, he did,” he told you, “and he has assured me that I am well. As I have tried to assure you.”
You groaned, ducking your head and not even bothering as your grip on the blanket slacked and it almost blew away until Optimus snuck his hand up to grab at it while you resituated your grasp. “I can’t help it!” you insisted, tone of voice rising. Optimus remained patiently silent as you spoke, somehow glad to finally have you blurting out what was on your mind instead of stuttering out half-sentences and keeping your true feelings from him. So, he remained quiet and calm, audio receptors perked keenly to listen to your little voice while his optics stared ahead. “You died, Optimus! You died and I was there! I saw the life literally leave your eyes! And I thought- I thought that was it. That all our time together was over because you’d been killed. And- and in that one moment, I knew that anything was possible, because you- you’re not supposed to die! But you did.” You sighed deeply and hid your face in your hands. “I lost you, Optimus, only a few days ago… and, now, I can’t help but be afraid I’ll lose you again… and I can’t have that. I can’t. I barely coped this time.” Slumping over even more, you lowered your voice to a mere whisper. “I love you too much to have to go through that again.”
Despite your words, an almost sad smile appeared on Optimus’s face and he twisted his head fully to face you. “Look at me, Y/N,” he gently ordered, and when you didn’t do as he asked, he lifted a finger and wiggled it against your side just enough, he knew from experience, for it to tickle. You squealed, jerking towards his head and glaring at his raised optic ridge. You said nothing, however, listening to his next words. “As I have already said, Autobots don’t die easily. I have been alive longer than most, and yet this time was my first and, hopefully, my last. At least in your lifetime, hm?” His finger, the both of you hadn’t even noticed, was still in the same place, clutched tightly by your hands as though it were a comfort blanket of some sort, or at least a physical reminder that he was still walking the earth, even though you were literally sat on his shoulder. “I promise you, my little wolf,” he continued, and you felt tears prick your eyes, “it is far less likely to happen again now that it has already happened. Megatron is gone, the Decepticons have scattered… I swear to you, I am okay. I do not wish for it to affect your life, do you hear me? I want you to go home with your parents and Sam and have a well-deserved and well-needed break.”
You sniffed. “Can we still call?”
That finger, with you still attached to it, reached up and wiped gingerly at your tears. “Yes, we can. But I don’t want you to constantly be thinking of what happened. It is over. It is done. It is fixed. I am alive and well and certainly capable of driving over to your house and giving you another lecture if I so much as hear from your family that you have been gloomily thinking about me.” You giggled at that, and he considered it a victory as you shuffled towards him and rested your weight completely against his cheek. He leaned in in utter contentment. “I love you,” he said, “far too much to allow myself to go through it again, too. We are not so different in this. I find myself unable to properly think about what happened as well – your own death isn’t so easy to get over, believe it or not – but I find courage in the present. I was dead, but I am alive. Alright?”
“Yes,” you said with a nod, truly feeling as though you were no longer so weighted down. “I’m sorry, Optimus.”
He shook his head. “Don’t be sorry. I understand where your head was going. A loved one’s death is difficult to overcome, but a loved one’s death and then revival is confusingly heart-breaking and capable of playing with the mind. But, as I said, let us not think on it any longer. Dry those tears and tell me about the curious sea animals I saw earlier… they had odd fins on their back and made the strangest noises…”
Sam watched a way off, arms crossed over his chest. He turned to Will, who was stood next to him. “I think they’re gonna be fine.”
“Both of them?” Will asked, twisting to look. “Old ‘Bot didn’t seem totally himself when we were talking.”
“Yeah.” Sam watched as Optimus pointed ahead, you said something inaudible from where he was standing, and then both you and the alien stared at each other for a full five seconds before bursting into laughter, the latter’s deep chuckles flowing with the wind. He smiled. “They’ve got each other.”

Captain Jealous - William Lennox
Tumblr media
Pairing: William Lennox x reader
Requested: By @neemonroe​
Prompts: #20, #41, #42 from the smut-list. 
Warnings/notes: Takes place before Transformers. Not proofread so sorry in advance for any mistakes. Might be a little bit OOC but I still hope you’ll enjoy it. Please reblog and comment, it would make my day <3 
Wordcount: 3806
Summary: Flirting with Will only seems to result in annoyance, but when you finally turn your attention elsewhere, he’s not very pleased. 
Growing up, your mother had always told you to be the kind of woman that, when your feet hit the floor each morning, the Devil says, “oh crap, she’s up”. 
You lived by those words every day of your life, not once backing down from a fight, always standing up for what was right, as well as holding your own and never giving up on getting the things you wanted.
To most, you were one of the strongest and most admirable women they’d ever gotten the pleasure of meeting, but to others… well, let’s just say that you might have taken your mother’s words a bit too literally.
You were absolutely relentless when you put your mind to something and one of the many people who had fallen victim to that stubbornness was William Lennox.
Having enrolled in the army around the same time and being equally as good at what you did both back in training and in the field, the two of you had always respected each other and rather than being competitive, tried your best to lift each other up.
If one of you took control of a situation and started shouting out orders, the other didn’t question it, not even when Will eventually passed you in ranks. Because your minds worked in the exact same ways and so it didn’t really matter who gave the orders since the orders would be the same in the end, anyway, no matter whose lips they passed.
But you did differ in the way that Will much preferred to keep his personal life separated from his professional life, while you had a habit of letting them merge together, which inevitably resulted in you bringing the obvious attraction you felt for him with you out on the field.
Will was one of the people who thought you had taken your mother’s advice a bit too literally. That was what he told you on a daily basis as a response to your endless flirting, at least. But you knew better; you knew that he, at least to some extent, reciprocated your attractions, thanks to the few moments you had shared back in training.
“It was all fun and games back then”. He liked to say in that stern, military voice he had picked up the second he was promoted to Captain. “But this is the real deal. This is serious, and this, this thing you’re doing, is unprofessional.”
Ever the workaholic soldier, he was, at this point basically having dedicated his entire life to the job with no time to spare for fun. But no matter how hard he tried denying it, you knew that the two of you shared something, and so did every other member of your squad.
The only ones who seemed completely clueless to this were the newbies and as you gradually lost hope that your stubborn captain would ever admit and give in to his feelings, you found it to be a breath of fresh air to be able to spend time with people who weren’t constantly making suggestive remarks and fueling the attraction from your side.
One, in particular, caught your eye; tall, dark and handsome. He had yet to gain more muscle than the bare minimum and was, admittedly, kind of lanky. He was one year younger than you which was way too young seeing as you’d otherwise not even go for guys the same age as you, but he had banter and shared your flirty, dirty, cheeky sense of humor which, most definitely, made up for what he lacked in life-experience.
Will had smugly watched all of the newbies try to make a move on you only to be shot down quicker than your enemies, but then the last of the soldiers had swept up by your side, put a long, lean arm over your shoulders, and hit you with the cheesiest pick-up line he had ever heard. 
“How you doing, mama? You must be a parking ticket, ‘cuz you got fiiine written all over you.”
While Epps, Fig and the rest of the team broke out into laughter at the man’s poor technique, Will’s face transformed from smug to stone-cold murderer. 
Why? Because he knew that you didn’t want a man to tell you the stars reflected in your eyes or that you took their breath away with your beauty.
What you wanted was someone who could make you laugh, and when you threw your head back and joined in on the seemingly endless laughing fit, he was overtaken by a feeling so strong that he didn’t quite know what to do with himself.
And you noticed the change of demeanor immediately. The long, hard stares were only the tip of the iceberg, as was the way he would move closer to you and find a way to touch you as much as he possibly could without making it inappropriate or suspicious. 
The most extreme part of his change in behavior was how hard and strict he suddenly became with the rookie, who had quickly earned himself the reputation of your very own lapdog. 
He got scolded even for the most insignificant of mistakes, always got put on parade as the “example” in exercises in which he was usually thrown to the ground by Will himself and totally and completely humiliated.
Of course, those moments were just poor thinking on Will’s part seeing as you, besides being incredibly flirty and witty, also happened to be one of the most caring members of the team. 
Not only did he have to watch you laugh until your stomach hurt at the rookie’s bad jokes, but he also had to watch you comfort and reassure him after his one-on-one’s with the Captain.
And still, Will couldn’t stop himself from making the same mistake again and again, the consequences every time being that he was stuck watching you fuss over the younger soldier, because no matter how much it vexed him, he knew that you knew why he was acting the way he was. 
It was all a game to you and he played along because he wanted to keep showing you that he was the better option. Unluckily for the rookie, though, Will’s method of showing dominance was through physical contact.
You knew what Will was doing, how he was trying to punish the rookie, mildly and legally, of course, while simultaneously trying to show you that he was displeased with what was going on; that he wanted it to stop.
To a start, you only showed interest in the rookie to fuck with Will, but you quickly realized that he was actually a fun guy to hang around.
You enjoyed spending time with him. Not a second with him went without laughter and it was nice to be able to have fun like that for a change, and soon enough, you’d more or less forgotten about the silent war between the two of you.
You probably knew that it wasn’t a real interest, judging by the way you didn’t even care enough to remember his name, but it was fun to have another banter-buddy.
You’d had an identical friendship with Epps since the start, but two people could only keep the creativity up for so long; after a while, you just couldn’t come up with witty remarks and sarcastic jokes, anymore.
Up until then, Will had still kept his disapproval about the whole thing lowkey, because as long as you were only doing what you were doing to make him jealous, you were still interested. 
But when you started making moves on the rookie with genuine interest, without looking over at Will while doing it, it was no longer a game. 
While already on the topic of games, you were completely useless when it came to cards. It didn’t matter what game you played; you’d always end up as the loser. And although you enjoyed the banter that followed the teasing of your poor card-playing abilities, your patience wasn’t endless.
“Alright, I’m calling it.” You chuckled after losing the fifth game of the evening, dropping your thick deck of cards onto the table in front of you.
“Really? But it was going so good for you.” Epps wasted no time in firing back with feign-surprise, to which all you did was deliver a sharp slap to his head.
The table broke out into laughter. “You had that coming.” Fig shook his head, successfully starting a metaphorical war. 
You chuckled at their antics and pushed back your chair, getting to your feet and stretching your arms above your head.
“I’m gonna take a shower.” You said, and wasted no time in starting to collect your things.
The rookie’s attention was instantly piqued, and so was Will’s, who had been playing in silence nearly the entire time you’d been there.
“You know, I need to shower, too.” He stated, shrugging his shoulders with a smirk. “So, I should probably join you. You know, save water. Provide some extra heat.”
“Oh, yeah?” You raised a playful eyebrow and chuckled. “Tempting offer, but I’ll have to take a raincheck on that. Glad to know I have options, though. Maybe next time.”
Without waiting for his reply, you snatched your jacket from a nearby stool and playfully flicked his forehead, before turning around and walking away, completely oblivious of the pairs of eyes that kept watching you from the table you had just left.
You went about your shower routine like you always did; get undressed, wash hair, wash body, turn off the water in-between washes, get dried and get dressed again. Sharing the water with so many people could be hard, so you couldn’t really take the long, thoughtful showers you did when at home.
You were out again as quickly as you had gotten in and took your time getting lotioned and dressed, getting as much self-care into your night as you possibly could when at a military base.
“What are you doing with the new kid?”
You should’ve been significantly more aware of your surroundings as a soldier but in your defense, everyone dropped their guard to some extent when in a safe environment, so the scream that came out of your mouth at the sudden sound of a voice was completely justified.
“Jesus fucking Christ!” You swore as you jumped around, hastily reaching for your damp towel to cover your bare chest.
Coming face to face with a furious-looking Will, you glared. “Knock much?”
He didn’t look amused in the slightest, crossing his arms over his chest. “Knock, knock. Answer my question.”
Your mouth snapped shut at the dominance behind his voice and your eyes instinctively flickered to his biceps, veins and muscle more defined than ever in the way he had positioned his arms.
You were, however, proud to say that you were quick to come back to your senses, your eyes snapping back to meet his.
“Do you, maybe, oh, I don’t know, want to turn around?” You asked sarcastically with a raised eyebrow.
If you wanted him to turn around to gain privacy for yourself or simply because you couldn’t stop glancing at his bulging biceps, you didn’t know, but no matter the reason behind your wish, he didn’t move an inch.
“Answer the question.” Was all that he said, and you rolled your eyes.
“I’m just having a bit of fun.”
“Do you like him?” His questions kept shooting out as quickly as bullets and, again, you couldn’t refrain from rolling your eyes.
“He’s fun to be around.” You said simply, giving him a slightly annoyed glare before turning around and dropping the towel to continue getting dressed.
Will didn’t even try to cover the fact that he was checking you out, eyes shamelessly traveling your form and taking his sweet time to remember all the details his eyes could reach. 
It wasn’t like this was the first time one of you saw the other only partly clothed – you know, it was kind of inevitable for all of you to catch a glimpse of each other’s birthday suits once every blue moon - so once the shock of his sudden appearance had melted off, the nervousness followed.
“But do you like-like him?”
At the sound of that question in particular, you couldn’t help but snort.
“What is this? Third grade?” You threw him an amused look over your shoulder. “Say that I do like-like him, do you think I should ask Epps if he can give him a note asking him to check yes or no on whether or not he’d like to be my boyfriend?” You gave him a sarcastic pout.
At this point, Will was completely fed up with your inability to take anything seriously and spun you around by your arm. 
Luckily, you had just finished hooking your bra behind your back, said bra thankfully covering your chest from his view.
“Can you not make a joke about everything?” He asked, your wrist firmly held in his hand. “You have to realize how bad this looks to our superiors. First me, and now him. You can’t go around flirting with everyone. It makes you look unprofessional and uncommitted and that, in turn, makes it look like I can’t do my job.”  
“Is that really what’s got your big-soldier-boy panties in a twist, though?” You narrowed your eyes challengingly, and slowly fought your wrist out of his grip to, instead, grab a hold of his hand.
Further proving your point, he did nothing to protest, the glare remaining in his eyes, but the rest of his face being overtaken by exasperation.
“I just don’t get it.” He said. “You spend all this time pushing my buttons, being completely insufferable with your never-ending flirting, and now you’re suddenly interested in someone else?”
“I think the real question here is why you’re suddenly interested when I’ve spent so much time trying to get your attention to no avail and now, what? You suddenly want me because I might be interested in someone else?” You raised an eyebrow, and couldn’t deny the flash of heat going through your body when he lowly growled.
“I’ve never not wanted you.” He objected. “And you’re not interested in the rookie.”
“How would you know?”
“Because I know you.”
“So what you’re saying is, basically, that you can’t be with me, but I also can’t be interested in anyone else.”
“We both know that relationships in this work are highly frowned upon and-“
“Highly frowned upon, but not forbidden. You’ve still had the option to choose, and you actively chose not to act on it. Just making that clear.”
“I haven’t acted on it because it’s wrong.”
“If it’s so wrong…” You started, a sharp shiver going down your spine as your bare back hit the cold, wet tiles. “Then why did you just corner me in the shower?”
During that short minute of back-and-forth arguing, he had done just that, the two of you now standing chest against chest in the darkest corner of the room.
Your face was pulled into a determined glare, as was his, and the tension and intensity behind your shared stare was enough to have all of the previously discussed issues forgotten in less than a microsecond.  
The proximity between you in combination with the fact that you were at an obvious disadvantage in height and size made you feel both hot and cold at the same time. You felt like prey under his stare. You found yourself liking it all the while you were hating the feeling of being so powerless, and your inner conflict only added to the tension.
“You have no idea how much willpower it’s taken me to keep resisting you, to keep turning you down.” He spoke slowly, and lowly. “Each of my thoughts about you are improper and you put all of those thoughts into my head every day, pulling my strings, pushing my buttons, just walking around being… you.”
In one smooth motion, he intertwined his fingers with yours, and your eyes automatically flickered down to watch your now joined-together digits; rough and calloused meeting even rougher and more calloused.
“I like you. I care about you. More than I should.” He continued, prompting you to look back up with an eyebrow raised.
“And?” 
“What do you want me to say?” He asked, exasperated and impatient. “Do you want me to say that I want to be with you? Because I do. I. Want. To. Be. With. You.”
You snickered at his over-dramatic emphasizing, finding it nothing short of amusing that he’d been protesting and telling you how wrong it was only seconds before, and now he was more or less proclaiming his love for you. That, more than anything, just showed how stubborn he was.
“Took you long enough.” You mused, leaning your head back into the wall and smirking, all while looking him straight in the eye. “It’s just too bad that I’ve grown so fond of the rookie. You know, he’s quite-“
Before you could finish your sentence, you were interrupted by Will’s lips crashing into yours, roughly and urgently. In the process, you were pushed even further into the wall behind you, and as the sudden force threw you off balance, you instinctively reacted by moving your arms up to his neck to hold yourself in place.
In return, his hands moved to each side of your waist, big, warm hands squeezing down on the flesh that had long ago turned cold from being bare in the nippy air for so long.
You had always imagined what it would feel like to be touched by him like this, but not even your wildest imagination could compare to the intensity of the tingles that spread through your stomach and chest.
Your hands slowly sneaked up the back of his neck, your body reacting automatically, but just as you were about to tousle your fingers in his hair, the moment ended when he pulled away.
Both of you were left panting in silence, the only sounds available for your ears to hear being your ragged breaths and the rhythmic dripping of the shower beside you.
“Wow, Captain.” You were the first one to speak. “I knew you were hot for me, but try to keep it in your pants. That was hardly professional.”
Just like that, your sarcastic persona returned as if it had never left in the first place, your eyes opening after having been closed up until then and meeting his with a playful grin.
A deep chuckle rumbled through his chest. “I’m pretty sure you threw professional straight out the window the first time we met.” He pointed out and much to your dismay, stepped back. “Are you going to stop encouraging the rookie, now?”
Getting straight to the point, okay.
“I don’t know…” You shrugged casually, bringing your hand up to your face to inspect your nails and peeking up at him through your lashes with a devilish smirk. “Jealousy looks kinda good on you.”
“I’m not jealous!” He exclaimed quickly, and you immediately raised an eyebrow as a way to say ‘really?’
“I’m not jealous.” He repeated, this time in a lower, calmer tone. “It’s just, you’re mine.”
Those two words alone were enough to make you inwardly groan, like one would when eating that first scoop of ice cream after not having been able to eat any in a week. Or a day.
But in a brave attempt to not make a fool of yourself, you remained in your teasing element, raising your eyebrows and hitting him back with a feign-uncaring: “Is that so?”
To that, he stepped closer to you once again, brought his hands up to cradle your cheeks, and playfully glared.
“Stop flirting with the rookie.” He repeated.
“Is that an order?” You asked.
“I’m asking politely.” He lied.
“Hmmm….” You hummed, pretending to think only for a moment, before flashing him a shit-eating grin. “No. I’m having way too much fun watching you squirm.”
Still leaning against the wall, you carefully pushed yourself up, pushed your chest against his and watched in success as his eyes flickered down.
Taking your sweet time, you brought your hands up to his chest with agonizingly slow movements and leaned your head up to his.
His breath shook as you brushed your lips over his and whispered against them lowly. 
“You’re hot when you’re mad.”
Will pushed his head forward with obvious intentions, but before he could press his lips against yours, you slid out of the tight corner, resulting in him having to catch himself on the wall left behind.
With a proud smile, you walked over to the bench by which you had previously been working on getting dressed and snatched your shirt where it laid.
“You’ll drive me crazy before all this is over, you know that?” Will spoke from behind you, which only made your smile widen.
Quickly pulling on your shirt and collecting the rest of your things, you turned around and walked back up to him where he still stood in the shower.
“That’s always been the plan.” You replied simply, placing a quick peck to the corner of his mouth before once again turning around and walking away, this time leaving him completely alone in the room.
He had to take a few moments to collect himself and regain his composure, and by the time he walked back out, you were nowhere in sight. 
With only you on his mind, he headed back to the table where the rest of the team were still playing cards, and sat down in the chair he had occupied before leaving.
“So, now that it’s just us here, I could use some advice on-“ The rookie wasted no time, but didn’t get to finish.
“You couldn’t handle her even if she came with instructions, kid.” Will interrupted without even looking at him, reading his mind without struggle since the person of his interest was one they had in common.
Growing up, your mother had always told you to be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the Devil says, “oh crap, she’s up”. 
You lived by those words every day of your life, not once backing down from a fight, always standing up for what was right, as well as holding your own and never giving up on getting the things you wanted.
To some, this was an admirable quality while, to others, you might have taken your mother’s words a bit too literally.
When it came to Will? Well, he just had nothing bad to say about you. You might’ve gotten on his nerves ninety-nine percent of the time, and been completely and utterly insufferable, but God did he love it.

Transformers: The Story of Samantha Witwicky Ch. 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Unedited*
Chapter One!
Masterlist
Ultimate Masterlist!
Her room is honestly a disaster, but it's always like that so she’s not too worried about it. Mojo, her family’s chihuahua, is on the desk she has beneath one of her windows, curled up on the bed she placed there for him when they first got him. She rolls her eyes at the sight of the diamond necklace dangling around his neck and glinting in the sunlight, he looks ridiculous. She bends over to log onto her Ebay, talking to her dog as if he can understand what she’s saying.
“Alright, Mojo. I’ve got the car, now I need to get a friend other than Miles.” In reality, what she really wants is to get the girl, but there is no chance in hell of her landing Mikaela Banes. The raven haired girl is with Trent and, as far as Sam knows anyways, she has no interest in girls. She sighs raggedly, “Some money wouldn’t hurt either.” She pulls up the glasses on her Ebay page only to frown at the sight of a big fat zero. “Zero bids. Great, I’m broke.” She exits the browser before standing up straight and letting out a disappointed huff of breath. “Come on, Mojo.” She snatches up the orange pill bottle sat on her desk and turns to her dog. “You want your pain pills?” She twists the lid off and pulls out a small white pill with a single pointer finger decorated with blue nail polish. “Alright, I know you get wasted on these things, but if you piss in my bed again you’re sleeping outside. Okay?” She gives him the pill, Mojo lapping it up eagerly and seeming to smile as he does so. “That’s it for today.” Sam screws the lid back onto the bottle and sets it off to the side before pointing a firm finger in Mojo’s face. “No more. Crack head.”
She grabs her car keys off the desk before leaving the room, thumping down the stairs and out the door. Her parents are working on the yard, seemingly putting in pavers to form a path from the front door, and Sam smiles when she notices her mom is wobbling on one and complaining about them not hiring a professional. She strides eagerly to her car, twirling her keys around her finger as she goes only to stop short when her dad calls out for her.
“Ah, Sam.” He tsks disapprovingly, shaking his head as she turns to look at him questioningly.
“What?”
“I do not like footprints on my grass.”
She blinks before turning to look behind her, gesturing emphatically. “What foot- there’s no footprints!” She spins in a circle as if looking for any evidence that she’d walked on the grass and, finding none, her dad continues as if she’d never spoken.
“That’s why I built my path. So why don’t you go from my grass to my path.” He gestures with the trowel grasped in his gloved hand as he speaks, Sam sighing and rolling her eyes as she does as he said.
“It’s family grass, Dad.” Sam and her dad’s relationship consists of 98% bickering, and honestly she loves it. Their back and forth never fails to entertain.
“Well, when you own your own grass you’ll understand.”
Sam doesn’t respond, continuing to follow the path towards her can but the sight of Mojo perched on his tower causes her to stop. The new necklace her mother had apparently put on him when he’d come outside was even more ostentatious than the last. “This, this-” she gestures dramatically at the small dog and his blinding bling, “I can’t do it anymore.”
“What?” her mom calls, brows furrowed as she looks between her daughter and her dog.
“You’re putting jewelry on a boy dog. He’s got enough self-esteem issues as a chihuahua, Mom.” She sighs, shaking her head. It was the truth too, she’s never met a more insecure dog in her entire life, and the gender confusion can’t be helping.
“That's his bling!” Her mom protests, and Sam can’t help but laugh as she shakes her head, moving to get into her car- her car!- and head towards the lake. “I want you home at eleven o’clock!” She calls after her, pointing maternally and watching with poorly disguised concern as Sam shuts her door and sticks her key in the ignition.
“Yeah, all right.”
“Eleven o’clock!” Her dad repeats, pushing up into a tall kneel and shaking his trowel at her.
She doesn’t respond, simply turning the key in the ignition instead. It took several tries, the car not wanting to start up right away, but eventually it does roar to a start.
“And please, for the love of god, drive safely!” Sam smiles at her mom’s concern, both women gasping when a large plume of black smoke escapes the car’s tailpipe when the engine finally turns over. She hears her dad say something as she pulls away, but can’t quite make it out, too caught up in the sensation of freedom pumping through her veins and dancing across her skin, the wind blowing through her rolled down windows playing with her hair and buffeting her shirt. She’d changed into a white blouse and denim shorts for the party, a small part of her- no matter how ridiculous- hoping Mikaela will like what she sees.
The drive to Miles’ house is short, and when Sam pulls into his driveway she’s quick to put the car in park and pull out her cell phone to text her oddball friend that she’s arrived. Why she’d agreed to let Miles come along she doesn’t know, what she does know is that it’s probably a mistake. She loves Miles, he was her first- and only- friend, but he doesn’t exactly blend in. He never fails to do something that draws attention to the two of them, no matter how many times Sam tells him to try and play it cool.
The long haired boy waves happily at her as he steps out of his front door, turning to lock the door behind him before bouncing hyperily over to the passenger side of the car and sliding into the seat. “Sweet ride, Witwicky! A little old, but still sweet.”
She laughs and shakes her head in amusement, throwing the car in reverse and backing down the driveway and out into the street, pulling away to head towards the lake. “Thanks! My dad actually took me to a dealership that was practically a junkyard, but I managed to find something decent.” She rubs her dashboard affectionately before reaching down to turn up the radio, the pair of friends singing along loudly with the windows rolled down and big smiles on their faces. She shuts it off when they approach the lake, pulling up to park by the curb and taking in all of the popular kids milling about. Football players, cheerleaders, the like. She shifts uncomfortably and her eyes are quick to find Mikaela standing near Trent’s obnoxious pick up truck.
Miles leans forward to look at the mass of their classmates assembled, his knee beginning to bounce nervously. “Dude, are you sure we’re invited to this party?”
Sam snorts and pushes her door open, her black and white converse scraping against the road as she stands. “Of course, Miles. It’s a lake, public property.” The chatter of party goers is loud as they step onto the grass, Sam ducking her head when she notices Trent looking in their direction. “Oh my god, oh my god, Mikaela’s here.” Miles is the only person in her life that knows about her feelings for Mikaela Banes, and she’s grateful that her sexuality hadn’t hurt their friendship, if anything it helped. Miles likes to joke that he felt even closer to her now that he knows they have a shared interest. He turns to look at her and rolls his eyes, clearly not getting why she’s freaking out. “Just don’t do anything weird, okay?” She pleads uselessly, knowing he’s going to do what he wants no matter what she says. “I’m good, right?”
He looks her up and down once before nodding and snickering. “Yeah, Sammy. You’re good.”
“Don’t call me that,” she groans, ignoring Trent as he starts calling out to them and having to resist slamming her face into the tree in front of her’s trunk when Miles leaps into the branches and begins to climb.
“Hey, guys, check it out.” Sam notices Mikaela move over to Trent at his words, wrapping her arms around his waist and setting her chin atop his shoulder. “Oh, hi. Hey, sweetheart! That car, it’s nice.” She huffs but doesn’t turn to face him, knowing that giving him the attention he wants would only fuel his fire, but her silence only seems to make him more determined. He pushes off against the side of his truck, Mikaela’s arms releasing him so he can stride over to where Sam was steadfastly watching Miles attempt to climb a tree. “So, what are you guys doing here?”
She sends him a look like he’s stupid- he is- before turning back to Miles, nodding at the tree when she answers him. “We’re here to climb this tree.” Her response seems to confuse him a little and he obviously doesn’t know quite how to reply.
“I see that, it looks- it looks fun.”
She nods, still avoiding eye contact, and has to hold back an eye roll when Miles grunts obnoxiously. “Yeah.”
“You know, I thought I recognized you. You came to watch your friend try out for the football team last year, right?” Oof. That had been a tough day. Sam had decided to try out for the cheerleading team on the recommendation of her mom, Judy saying that it would help her make friends, so Miles had tried out for the football team in a show of support. Said that way they could hang out together during practices and stuff and at games. Her own tryout had been a complete catastrophe, she’d humiliated herself without a doubt, and afterwards she’d gone to watch Miles’ tryout. It hadn’t gone well, she’d almost taken him to the ER the group tackle he’d taken had been that hard. The coach had to call his mom.
But Sam isn’t going to tell Trent that. “Oh, no, no, no, that-” she laughs and shakes her head, turning to face the hulking quarterback beside her, “that wasn’t like a real try out… he did it because I asked him to as research for a book I’m writing.”
Trent nods seriously, but his tone of voice makes it clear he doesn’t believe a word she’s saying. “Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“What’s it about? Sucking at sports?” Trent and his group of lackeys all laugh, the quarterback tossing the football he’s holding into the air before catching it deftly.
Sam smirks, folding her hands together as he opens himself up to the insult she has lined up. “Haha.” She laughs mockingly, ignoring the watchful eyes of Mikaela behind Trent as she destroys him. “No, it’s about the link between brain damage and football. No it’s a- it’s a good book! Your friends’ll love it. You know its got mazes in it and, you know, little coloring areas, pop up pictures. It’s a lot of fun.”
“That’s funny.” He takes a threatening step forward, and for a moment Sam wonders if he’s going to hit her in front of all these people and just how he thinks that’s going to work out for him, but Mikaela comes to her rescue.
“Okay. Okay.” She steps between them, placing a hand on Trent’s stomach and pushing him backwards. “You know what? Stop.” She doesn’t wait for him to follow as she strides off to the truck, Sam watching her go with what she knew had to be heart eyes before turning to Miles who was still perched in the tree.
“You got to get out of the tree.” Miles gives her an offended look but begins to climb down. “Get- just get out of the tree right now, please. What are you doing?” She rolls her eyes and pinches the bridge of her nose when Miles back flips off the lowest branch, grinning at her proudly when he sticks the landing.
“Did you see the dismount? All the chicks were watching.”
“You’re making me look like an idiot! We both looked like idiots just now.” Miles doesn’t respond as they walk back over to her car, the long haired boy sliding into her passenger seat and not seeming to notice when she reclined against her own door rather than climbing in. She’s not focused on him though, her attention is fully on the breakdown of Mikaela and Trent’s relationship that was happening right before her eyes.
The raven haired, icy eyed girl stops by the driver's door, wrapping her fingers around the handle and giving Trent a charming smile. “Hey, how about you let me drive?”
Trent’s response is way too vehement, and Sam is offended on Mikaela’s behalf. “Oh no. No, no, no. This is not a toy. These twenty-twos,” he points down at his tires, “I don’t want you grinding on them. No. Why doesn’t my little bunny just hop in the back seat?” Sam’s teeth grit at his entire response, the sexism and lack of respect for his girlfriend in his words astounding her.
“Oh god, I can’t even tell you how much I’m not your little bunny.” She rolls her eyes and tucks her purse under her arms before strutting away, hair bouncing like something out of a movie with each step, and Sam silently cheers when Mikaela puts the manchild in his place.
“O- okay.” Trent falters, taken aback by the girl’s response and desperately trying to save face. “You’ll call me.”
Sam watches her go, admiring her long legs and swinging hips, only to be shaken from her thoughts by the sudden crooning of ‘Who’s gonna drive you home tonight-’ sounding from her car.
“Hey, dude?” Miles calls confusedly, his feet propped up on her dashboard and his hand reaching out to fiddle with the radio dial. “What’s wrong with your radio?”
“I’m gonna drive her home tonight.” Sam echoes, blue-gold eyes growing wide with the realization that now was her chance. Her chance to at least become friends with the girl she had feelings for, if not more. Miles leans out the window and stares at her with furrowed eyebrows, scoffing at the idea.
“What? She’s an evil jock concubine, Sammy. Let her hitchhike.”
The glare she gives him is fierce, and she contemplates tearing him a new one for his words but deciding she doesn’t have time. “She lives ten miles from here, okay?” She finally pulls her door open and plops down in her seat, turning to give Miles her best puppy eyes. “It’s my only chance, you got to be understanding here, all right?” She folds her hands together as if begging and turns her whole body to face him.
“Alright,” he concedes reluctantly with a nod, “we’ll put her in the back, I’ll be quiet.”
She gives him an incredulous look, eyebrows almost meeting her hairline and her voice high with disbelief. “Did you just say ‘put her in the back’?”
“I called shotgun.” Miles says like it’s obvious, causing her to snort.
“Miles, I’m not putting her in the back. You’ve got to get out of my car.” She gestures behind him, her last words full of determination as if she can force him out of the car through sheer willpower.
“That’s a party foul!”
“What rules?!”
“Our- bros before hoes!”
“I’m not a bro, Miles, and I’m begging you to get out of my car, okay?” Miles huffs but climbs out, slamming the door a little harder than was necessary in his annoyance. She gives him a bright and thankful smile before roaring off, giving Mikaela the same smile as she pulls up alongside her and slows down. “Mikaela! It’s Sam.” The raven haired girl side eyes her but doesn’t stop, her tan legs keeping pace beneath her denim miniskirt, so she carries on in hopes that she’ll say something that’ll convince Mikaela to get in the car. “Witwicky? Thanks for standing up for me but hope I didn’t get you stranded or anything. I was hoping I could ride you ho- give you a ride home.” She’s quick to correct herself, her cheeks flushing a bright red at the freudian slip. “In my car, to your house.” She’s about to start slamming her head against the steering wheel when Mikaela finally stops and turns her way, Sam beaming at her and reaching across to help her open the door. “There you go!” She coughs awkwardly and, still blushing, begins to drive once more.
“I can’t believe I’m here right now.” Pain shoots through Sam’s heart at Mikaela’s words and her smile drops from her face as she clears her throat. Well, that wasn’t what a girl wanted to hear when she had a gorgeous woman in her passenger seat.
“You can duck down if you want. I mean, it won’t hurt my feelings.” It most definitely will.
“Oh no, no, no. I didn’t mean-” she laughs sweetly, seemingly endeared by Sam’s words, “I didn’t mean here with you. I just meant here, like, in this situation.”
“Oh,” Sam nods understandingly, the pain in her heart easing.
“The same situation I’m always in , ‘cause, I don’t know, I guess I have a weakness for hot guys, for tight abs and really big arms.”
Sam can’t help the disappointed laugh that escapes at that, glancing over to see Mikaela looking at her with a confused and almost hurt look. “Sorry, I just…” she shrugs, forcing her eyes to focus on the road ahead, “I just can’t relate.” Mikaela’s brows raise and the hurt fades from her look as the confusion grows, and Sam lets out another laugh at the sight, not giving her the chance to vocalize the question on her mind. “I’m a lesbian.” She puts it bluntly, watching the girl in her car warily from the corner of her eyes. It’s pretty much 50/50 how Mikaela will respond, either she’ll brush it off like most people or she’ll be grossed out like the rare few.
She’s silent for a few heart pounding moments before she nods, settling back against her seat with a small smile. “I’m bisexual.” Sam’s head snaps towards her, eyes wide and lips forming a shocked O. That’s the last thing she was expecting Mikaela to say. Her mind races as Sam tries to figure out how to respond, but she beats her to it with another heart stopping sentence, this one painful. “Are you…” she turns towards her with a bright smile as she obviously tries to fill the silence with small talk, “are you new to school? This year? This is your first year?”
“Oh, no.” Sam forces out a chuckle as the pain returns to her chest. She’s invisible to people like Mikaela Banes. “No, we’ve been in school together since the first grade.”
Mikaela turns to her with furrowed eyebrows and her full lips twisted in a confused frown. “Really?”
“Yeah.” Sam snorts in reply, not meeting the other girl’s eyes. This was embarrassing enough without Mikaela seeing just how badly she’s hurt her feelings.
“No.” She draws out in disbelief, shaking her head before tilting it.
“Yeah, a long time.” Sam can see that Mikaela is embarrassed as she shifts in her seat, fiddling with the bottom of her cropped, orange tank top.
“Well, do-” she clears her throat before pushing on, apparently determined to try and save the conversation that was spiralling quickly, “do we have any classes together?”
“Oh, yeah. Yeah.” The shorter girl’s laugh is forced and short, dark amusement filling her at the forced realization that, despite the fact that Mikaela Banes is the apple of her eye, the girl hasn’t even noticed her existence despite them having gone to school together since they were seven.
“Really? Which?” She seems genuinely curious, if still a little embarrassed.
“History,” Sam starts, peeking at her passenger from the corner of her eyes as she continues, “Language art. Math. Science.”
“Sam,” Mikaela cuts in, as if she’s suddenly remembered who she’s sitting next to, but Sam knows she hasn’t.
She smiles at the darker haired girl’s effort, she hadn’t intentionally never acknowledged Sam’s existence in the past and she’s trying to now. It’s cute actually. “Sam, yeah.” She confirmed, nodding with a small smile.
“Sam Wilckicky,” Mikaela absolutely butchers her last name and it evokes a genuine laugh, Sam finally turning and actually making eye contact with the other girl, eyes crinkling in amusement.
“Wit-wicky.” She enunciates clearly, amusement clear in her voice. She’s not offended by the blunder, it’s a weird name.
“God, you know what? She runs a hand over her face before blinking over at Sam with an apologetic expression. “I’m so sorry. I just-”
“No, no, it’s cool,” Sam interrupts, meaning it strangely.
“I just didn’t recognize you.” It’s an obvious twisting of the truth. Sure, she hadn’t recognized her but that’s because she hadn’t known Sam was even alive until five minutes ago.
“Yeah, well, I mean that’s understandable.” Just as the words leave her mouth her car decides now is the perfect time to make this entire situation even worse. The engine begins to sputter and die, forcing Sam to pull off the road and into a grassy clearing decorated with a single tree. “Ah, no, no, no. No! Come on!” She slams her hand down angrily on the wheel as they slow to a stop, the radio starting to play Sexual Healing- much to Sam’s horror. Oh god, the way this must look. She can’t believe her car is pulling this shit right after Mikaela admits to being bi, she’s going to think Sam’s trying to make a move on her. “Sorry, I’m just working out the kinks. You know, it’s a new car.” She frantically begins messing with the radio, desperate for it to just stop, to no avail. “This radio is like, you know- it’s an old radio too, so-” She’s flushed a bright red, hoping, praying, that Mikaela won’t think she’s planned this, that she won’t walk away. She’s just found out she has a chance! She can’t let her stupid stupid car ruin that for her now. “Look, this isn't something that I, you know-” she starts practically pounding on the power dial, but the music is still pumping through her speakers. “I can't get this radio to stop. Look, I wouldn't try this on you. You know. 'Cause this is like a romantic, romantic thing that I'm not trying to do.” She’s rambling, she knows she’s rambling, and she knows she’s not really helping her case, but she can’t stop the torrential flow of words pouring past her lips.
“Uh huh.” Mikaela doesn’t look at her as she begins pulling the top half of her black hair back, efficiently pinning it to the back of her head and out of her face.
“Not that you're not worthy of trying something like this on.” She wants to slap herself when those words come out, she needs to shut up now.
“No, of course not.” Mikaela drawls, finally pulling her hands away from her thick hair and bedding down to drop her purse on the floorboards, not seeming to really listen to Sam’s rambling.
Tumblr media
“I'm a friend of yours.” She places a hand over her heart, eyes wide and trying to convey how absolutely serious she is that she wasn’t trying to pull anything right now. “I'm not a romantic friend, romantic friends do this. I mean, I'm not that- that friend. I mean, we- I could be. If-” She’s so thankful when Mikaela cuts her off, pushing her door open and stepping out as she does so.
“Just pop the hood.” She moves around to the front of the Camaro and lifts the hood when Sam does as she asked, not noticing the girl beating up her car and whisper yelling at it angrily.
“Stupid!” She kicks the floorboards before taking her aggression out on the stereo. “Shut up, shut up, shut up.” The car lets out an odd electronic squeal before going silent, so Sam lets out a relieved huff of air before stepping out of the car and moving to join Mikaela. She’s leaning forward, hands braced against the propped up hood and her short shirt stretched further up to reveal more of her toned, tan stomach. Sam forces her eyes away from the exposed skin and to her new car’s engine that’s way nicer than it should’ve been. It’s a hundred times newer than the car itself and sleek, the silver metal shining brightly in the setting sun. Damn. She wasn’t expecting that. She knows nothing about cars but even she can tell that’s a nice engine.
Mikaela agrees, looking over it admiringly before grinning over at her, blue eyes squinting slightly against the glare. “Whoa, nice headers. You've got a high-rise double-pump carburetor. That's pretty impressive, Sam.”
Her brows furrow and she glances confusedly between Mikaela and the engine. “Double-pump?”
“It squirts the fuel in so you can go faster.”
“Oh,” Sam nods, her attraction to this woman multiplying by a thousand due to her obvious expertise in mechanics. She’s always suspected there was more to Mikaela than her pretty face, and now she’s being proven right. Mikaela’s wicked smart. “I like to go faster.” Why would she say that? She mentally slaps herself, frustrated with herself and her proficient ability to stick her foot in her mouth no matter the situation.
“And it looks like your, uh, your distributor caps a little…” Mikaela leans forward and reacheches out to wiggle said cap, arching attractively and unintendedly as she does so, “loose.”
“Yeah, how did you know that?”
“Uh, my dad.” She turns to smile at her again, causing Sam to beam back. “He was a real grease monkey. He taught me all about this. I could take it all apart, clean it, put it back together.”
“That’s weird, I just wouldn’t have pegged you for mechanical.” It’s true, Mikaela has always come across as incredibly feminine, not one you would expect to get her freshly self-manicured hands dirty. But now that Sam knows that the girl is clearly multifaceted, she’ll never underestimate her again. She leans around to press her head against the front of the hood, out of Mikaela’s sight, scrunching her eyes closed and trying desperately to get a handle on not only her mouth, but her eyes. They kept flicking over to Mikaela’s visible abdomen without permission, a very attractive visible abdomen.
“Well, you know, I don't really broadcast it. Guys don't like it when you know more about cars than they do. Especially not Trent.” Sam snaps back to scowl at Mikaela, slightly disappointed with her for feeling like she has to change or hide who she is to get with a guy who doesn’t even deserve her. “He hates it.” The taller girl looks over to smile almost sadly at her lift, not quite understanding the expression she sees on Sam’s face.
“You shouldn’t hide who you are or play dumb for the benefit of some jock.” Sam’s not quite sure if that’s the right thing to say, but she means it. Mikaela’s eyes search her face for a few moments contemplatively before she pulls back, standing up straight and putting her hands on her hips as she stares down at the car’s engine.
“Okay…” she trails off, biting her lip before nodding resolutely, apparently having decided to just ignore what Sam said. “You want to fire it up for me?”
“Oh!” Sam nods and jogs over to reach in through the driver’s side door and twist the key in the ignition. “Yeah, yeah, no problem.” The engine struggles to turn on, making odd sputtering and grinding noises each time she turns the key. She debates with herself for a few moments before deciding things can’t really get any worse, she might as well ask the question on her mind. “You know, I was thinking, if Trent’s such a jerk why do you hang out with him?” There’s a few moments of silence before she sees Mikaela straighten up, resignation written all over her face as she takes a step back from the engine and moves around to the passenger’s side.
“You know what? I’m just-” she reaches through the open window and scoops up the strap of her purse, pulling back and straightening as she pulls it over her shoulder. “I’m gonna walk.” She begins backing away, giving Sam a tight smile and reaching up to pull the clip from her hair. “Uhh, good luck with your car.” She spins away and begins striding through the long, brown grass that’s flowing in the wind, much to Sam’s horror.
“Alright,” she calls after her, “walking’s healthy, right?” Mikaela doesn’t turn back or respond and Sam begins begging her car to cooperate, desperate and running out of time she turns the key over and over. “Oh, God, no no no no no no no no no no. Come on, please. Please, you gotta work for me now. Don't let her walk away. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Please, please.” She slaps the steering wheel in frustration before turning the key one last time, letting out a whoop when the radio begins blasting Baby Come Back and the engine roars to life. She whoops and darts out of the car, rushing to slam the hood down with a loud clang as she calls out after the girl she wants so badly. “Hey!” She leaps into the driver’s seat and throws the car into reverse, swinging the car around before switching into drive and tearing after Mikaela. “Hey, wait a second!”
Mikaela turns around at the sound of her shouting, unable to hold back a grin at the sight of Sam waving enthusiastically from behind the wheel of the car, dirt kicking up behind the tires as she goes and music thumping through the air. She laughs, opening the door when the car comes to a stop beside her and sliding in, settling down in the seat as Sam gives her the brightest grin she’s ever seen.

Surprise Surprise (Bayverse Bumblebee x Reader)
Tonight Bee and I had planned to spend the night at Sam's house to have a movie night with Sam and his Mikaela. He was running a little late due to some “Autobot duties”, but I didn't mind. Mikaela kept me company as we laughed and talked about random things until I got a text from Bee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Text Convo:
Bee: Hey Y/N sorry again for being late but I have a little surprise for you 😘
Y/N: Well I can't wait to see what that surprise is 😉
Bee: Lol! I’ll see you in a bit babe
Y/N: Aww ok don't take to long
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I looked up from my phone I saw Mikaela smirking at me as if she knew something. "What," I asked confusingly raising my eyebrow. "~Ohhhhh nothing~" She said tilting her head teasingly. "Mikaela," I said kinda annoyed as she just laughed. "I was just wondering.... Have you and Bee.... You know" she joked while making weird hand motions.
I was confused at first but then my eyes went wide. "MIKAELA" I shouted playfully punching her arm as she practically died with laughter. As I shook my head I started to think. Me and Bee actually never DID it before, I mean I've wanted to on many occasions but we never had time. I wonder how big his- "Um helloooooo earth to Y/N," Mikaela said shaking me from my thoughts. "Oh sorry," I said as I felt my cheeks heat up from my previous thoughts. She just laughed standing up from her spot on the couch. "Imma go upstairs with Sam but you and Bumblebee are more than welcome to put the guest room to good use," She said winking causing my cheeks to heat up once more. "Shut up" I groaned throwing a couch pillow at her as she ran upstairs leaving me to my thoughts. Soon I heard the doorbell ring and my thoughts immediately went to Bee.
"You should get that," Mikaela yelled from upstairs with a hint of mischief laced in her tone. I rolled my eyes as I quickly got up to open the door. When I opened the door I saw a smiling man. He was handsome to say the very least but I didn't recognize him at all. "Um hi, who are you?" I asked wondering if he had the right house or not. He let out a laugh that for some reason made my heart melt. 'What the hell is wrong with me? And who is this man?' "You really don't know who I am," the man said with a voice I recognized.
"Bee," I asked cautiously as he smirked. "This was the surprise," he said smiling as I grinned in amusement. We stood in the doorway for a while as I looked over his new holoform biting my lip. "Do you like it" Bee spoke nervously as I met his blue-eyed gaze. "Does this answer your question?" I asked kissing his lips gently. He kissed back eagerly while tapping my thigh as a signal for me to jump. As soon as I did, I wrapped my legs around his waist firmly allowing him to carry me to the couch. He slowly started to kiss my neck causing me to let out a quiet moan. 'OMG it's finally happening!!!!'
Before anything could escalate any further, the sound of a camera went off. 'I spoke too soon.' Bee and I both froze with wide eyes as we looked up towards the staircase. "I told you to turn the flash off" Mikaela whisper shouted as she punched Sam in his shoulder. Bee growled as he glared daggers at Sam. "Give. Me. The. Phone" Bee growled standing up from the couch. "No can do buddy," Sam said as he started typing, "I think Lori(Me lol) and Optimus would love these" Sam said causing my eyes to go huge. Soon Bee was chasing Sam around the house and I was left a blushing hot mess.
Hehehehehe this is Bee’s holoform/humanform

Bumblebee (Transformers) - Oneshot
Tumblr media
You’ve always had this bad habit of sticking your nose where it didn’t belong. Maybe it was the reporter in you. You needed to get to the bottom of every mystery. Most times that wasn’t so bad. The first was the school weirdo Sam Witwicky.
Overnight it seemed like he became somewhat desired, at least to Mikeala. He’d somehow managed to snag the hottest girl in school. A part of you thought he paid her, but sometimes you would catch the look she sent him. It was different, almost warm. Then there was his cousin who popped up like a ghost and no one asked questions. You even did a background check, but you couldn't find anything on social media.
It was like he didn’t exist.
Bee Witwicky.
What kind of name is Bee, did his parents really want him to get bullied on a daily basis?
Your adventure begins.
“Witwicky! I’m really glad I caught you.”
It wasn’t a coincidence. You memorized his schedule. A good reporter always covers their bases.
Bee stumbled slightly at the sound of your call. He’d been attending the school for roughly three weeks.
“O-Oh, hello again."
You could tell that you made him a bit nervous, which just made you that more intrigued. You knew there was a good story here. Your instincts had never been wrong. You’ve printed a number of articles for the school paper, most of which received a bit of recognition. This was your calling. That’s why you couldn’t let this one go to waste.
“Care to answer a few questions? You're still a mystery to the school. I’d love to do a piece on you. Help the students to get to know you better. Like I did with Sean Jeffery.”
“Oh yes, I read about him. He helped the team qualify for the state championship on July 22nd, Dallas Texas.”
“Exactly! I love showing off talented students, you could be one of them.”
It was a little weird the way he recited it like he was a computer.
“That’s nice, but there really isn't anything interesting about me. I’m just a plain old human.” You raise a brow.
“I-I just do regular human things you know!” He was laughing as he backed away.
“A-Anyway I really should get going.”
“Wait I haven’t even-”
“Bee!”
Sam’s voice called from down the hall. When you saw him you frowned. He wore a similar look as he approached.
“Still trying to put my cousin on display so people could mess with him.”
“That’s not what I do, Witwicky. I’m just trying to write a story. Are you worried he might get more popular than you?” You taunt. You can see he’s pretty agitated.
“Hey Sam!” Mikeala’s happy voice sings from down the hallway. When she walks up she looks curious.
“Oh hey, you’re (Y/N). Bee never stops-”
“Telling them about how much you love stories!!” Bee interrupts.
He’s acting weird again.
“I’ll see you later Bee.”
You pull your books closer, walking off to your next class. If only you could get ten minutes without Sam in the way, maybe you could score a great story. As your body fades into the crowd of students, Sam turns to Bee.
“You have to be careful, if people start asking too many questions it’s going to be bad for you.” Sam looks worried.
“She won’t find out anything, trust me. We took precautions. Besides, wouldn’t an article help to prove that I’m normal. “
“He’s right Sam. (Y/N)’s not going to stop. It’s been weeks. I think she likes the chase.” Sam groans.
This wasn’t going to be easy.
~
After school, you’d packed your stuff and set off for your new mission.
It’s become apparent that Sam was going to continue being a thorn in your side, only proving the fact that something was amiss. Like any regular person, you thought stalking them would be the way to go, normal right?
Except this time, you cursed your curious nature, because in this scenario, it would indeed be the thing to kill the cat.
“AAAAH SHIT!!!”
You were pedaling as fast as your feet could take you, but the yellow camaro was still following you down the street. A part of you was praying that it had all been a crazy nightmare. You’d trace Bee back to some weird abandoned building. You found a comfortable spot too. Even Sam and Mickeala were there. At first you assumed they were just delinquents messing with some stuff, but one second they were talking as usual, then the next a blue and red peterbilt pulled up.
Right before your eyes the truck changed, and shortly after, so did Bee. One minute he was human, then the next his skin was replaced by machinery that looked like it was from another universe. He stood upright, blue glowing eyes and all.
Like most teens in such a situation, you screamed. Alerting all of them of your location. You’d almost dropped your phone. But the second you willed your body to move, you jumped on your bike and sped out of there. It’s only when you got back on a main road you saw a car following you. It didn’t take a genius, its patterns were the exact same as Bee’s.
You’d turned down an alleyway to gain some ground and maybe lose them behind the many buildings. For a while you thought it worked, but a large hand came down right in front of you and you were pulled right off the bike. Now you were in a much more secluded place. It placed you on your feet, and as you opened your mouth to scream, Sam rushed over grabbing you and placing a hand on your mouth. You bit him, and he yelled out as you tried to take off in a run.
“I’d advise against running again, human.”
The stern voice of the blue and red robot makes your blood run cold. You fell back, staring up at both aliens.
“Y-You’re gonna kill me. You’re gonna scramble my brains and dump me in some ditch!!”
“Quiet down.”
It sounded a bit angry now, and your mouth slid shut as you trembled.
“We're..not…gonna hurt you…sport..” The radio of the camaro’s car slipped between stations, and you just stared. Bee’s blue eyes blinked, and you finally pushed your way upright, backing away.
“W-What are you….”
Sam looked annoyed as he nursed his hurt hand.
“If you hadn’t gone on a rampage, maybe we wouldn’t have had to get so rough.” He glowered.
“Aliens!!”
Bee pointed to the sky, and the word that came out this time from his station was something you’d heard in a movie.
“Aliens…”
“Yes, aliens!! Are you happy!! You spent the last few weeks poking your nose into our business, now you know. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee here are freaking aliens from another planet that came here to stop other evil aliens that tried to wipe out the human race. We’ve been protecting them as thanks for not letting us go poof into dust!!!”
Sam was huffing angrily from his long speech.
“Calm down Sam.” Optimus said.
“I’m going to take a walk.” He grumbled, sending you a spiteful look as he walked off. Mikaela followed, not before sending you an awkward smile.
“I’m sorry about that, just give us a few minutes.” She walked with him, patting his back. Now it was just you and the two huge aliens. You swallowed.
“I assure you that we mean you no harm. Our only job is to protect the human race from Megatron’s followers. We are allies. That is why it is imperative that our existence in this world stays between very few. We’ve already been exposed once. We cannot run that risk again.”
You clenched the phone in your back pocket.
“P-People deserve to know the truth!! What happened in Mission city, it was all real!! The government covered it all up, lied and said it was some futile attempt by another country. T-This whole time it’s all been a lie!!”
“Sometimes the truth poses more harm than good.” Optimus stated.
You couldn’t believe this.
“Why should I even believe you, this could all be a trick. What if I release what I have right now to the entire internet, would you kill me?” You were treading on dangerous waters, you know that.
“Believe what you will, I cannot stop you from making a decision. Nor will I hurt you.” He sounds almost sincere. Bumblebee takes a step, and the ground gives a little rumble. He kneels to your height, and you hold your breath.
“We’d never hurt you (Y/N).”
Those blue eyes look so innocent, and his voice is the same. The same Bee you’d been dogging for the last three weeks.
“Please (Y/N).” Your hands shake, and reach into your back pocket, gritting your teeth.
“Damn it!!”
You dropped the phone on the floor, smashing it under your feet. Optimus’s optics blinked in surprise.
“Are you happy now?”
Bumblebee knew it took a lot not to follow through with that story. He did a little dance, and you almost fell over. He caught himself, waving his hands in apology. You just released a heavy breath.
So much for your juicy story.
~~~
“Hey (Y/N)!!”
You jump at that voice, and you grab your bag. You’ve been so distracted that you haven’t realized you’re the last one in the classroom. Bee steps inside and he closes the door. Moving backwards, you watch him carefully. He looks like he does a full body scan of you.
“I’m not trying to hurt you, so you can calm down.”
How does he even know you’re panicking? Your face was completely neutral.
“Are you…reading me?”
He looks to the side.
“I’m not exactly human.”
He says it like he’s sad about it. It’s weird, you spent so long trying to read him. Now that you know the truth behind his happy go lucky nature, you aren’t sure what to do with it. More than anything, he should have hated you. All that time chasing him around digging for a story. They could have easily gotten rid of you. Yes it would have raised some red flags, but if the government covered up an entire alien invasion, burying one person would be a piece of cake.
You finally loosen your grip on your bag.
“B-Back at the alley, why didn’t you just take the phone. You guys are super robots.”
It would have been so easy to take what they wanted and threaten you.
“I guess I was kind of hoping you’d keep our secret. I also..” He’s shifting on his feet.
“You also what?”
“I really wanted us to be friends.”
When he looks at you, there’s so much innocence in that gaze. Your first thought is that he’s messing with you, but you don’t read that at all. You aren’t sure what to think at this point.
“Are you pulling my leg?”
Bee’s eyebrows scrunch up in confusion, and he looks down at your legs.
“No I’m not. Y-Your legs look fine to me.”
He looks generally lost, and despite yourself you smile.
“You really are an alien.”
So, it’s possible that you won’t be taken out to keep their secret, that’s good to know.
~
“What about this one?”
You hold out your closed palm, and Bee looks at it.
“It’s an eraser.” You open your hand, and sure enough it’s an ice cream patterned eraser.
“So that’s mad strength, super hearing, crazy hacking skills, and some bionic type vision.” You make a mental note and Bee smiles.
“I thought you were giving up the story.”
“I am, doesn’t mean I can’t still gather data for myself.”
Sam and Mikaela are sitting in his backyard. Now that you know their secret, you were never shy to stop by. Try as he might, Sam couldn’t get rid of you, and Bee liked your company. It’s obvious at this point that he has very little say in what happens. Mikaela laughs at the small frown Sam has.
“Sooner or later you’re going to have to trust her.”
“She bit me.”
“Are you really still mad about that?”
“She never apologized!”
He was a child sometimes.
You and Bee are seated under a tree, and he’s playing with Sam’s dog. You steal a glance at him. If you hadn’t seen it yourself, you wouldn’t have believed it.
“Do you miss it, your home?”
He nods.
“I do, all the time. Everything on this planet is so different.” He looks down, flexing his fingers.
“I used to wonder if it would have been better if we all just perished. Maybe then this world would have been spared of our war. There would be peace.”
Of all the things he could have considered, that’s not one you thought would cross his mind. Everytime you see him, he’s always smiling.
Happy.
“This world was messed up way before you guys came. I don’t think a few alien robots can do much more than what people have already done. “
He smiles, but it doesn’t truly reach his eyes.
“I’m glad you’re here.” He looks over at you, and this time it seems like you’ve finally gotten through to him. Bee just stares, and you jump when a spark bursts from his hand. Mojo jolts, jumping back and running around barking aggressively. Sam starts chasing the poor pup down, and you look back at Bee concerned.
“Are you alright?!”
He nods a bit nervously.
“Y-Yeah I just had a little short. It’s no big deal.”
He’s moving a bit fidgety, and you know something’s up, but you decide against asking. The last time you went poking it landed you in a hairy position. He is an alien after all. You can’t hope to understand everything.
~~~
Whenever you just needed a break from the world, your go to activity was a little walk or jog. This particular afternoon you’re walking through the woods on a path. The quiet was therapeutic.
Or so you thought.
“Move move, shake shake, now drop! What your momma said!!”
The blaring speakers from a car makes you turn. You’re a bit stunned at the car that comes speeding down the trail. Expertly dodging trees and fallen branches. You jolt when it jumps a particular log. As the camaro is airborne, Bumblebee transforms. When he lands, he’s standing upright, hands now on his hips. You’d fallen onto your butt at the harsh landing. He looks down, shoulders raised a bit apologetically.
“Sorry sport.” His radio spits out.
You rise, dusting your pants as you glare at him.
“I asked you to meet me, not crush me.” You lecture. He puts his hands together in what you assume is an apology. You just chuckle, shaking your head.
“What do you need, soldier?”
It’s so funny how he manages to pull dialogues from so many stations.
“I just wanted company.” Bumblebee points to himself.
“Yeah, who else is here dummy.” You giggle at the cute way his optics blink.
“Come on, there’s a really nice spot up ahead that we can chill at.” You reach for his mental hand, grabbing one of his fingers as you pull him along. Bumblebee just follows, his engines revving just a smidge.
Twenty minutes later you pull up to your spot. It’s a little clearing. The trees provide a decent cover, yet he can still see the expense of greenery up ahead. The view was beautiful. You take a seat on a log that looks perfectly shaped into a seat.
“I come here all the time, it’s my secret spot.” You explain. He sits beside you, knees tucked to his chest awkwardly.
“Relax Bee, no one comes here except me.”
It takes him a minute, but he stretches his legs out.
“It’s nice here.”
This time he doesn’t use the radio. You grin.
“Sure is. I’ve been coming to this place for years. It’s my stress relief ball. When things get crazy or I just need a break from life this is where I am. You’re the only one that knows about it now.”
His head turns at that, and you just send him a smile.
“Now you know my secret too.”
He’s not sure how to respond to that.
“She’s so cute.”
So far he's been doing a decent job of keeping his inner feelings to himself, but it’s hard when you keep sending him those smiles. He doesn’t realize until he’s already reaching out. His finger brushes the side of your cheek, and your expression changes to one of surprise. He holds your stare for a few minutes before he processes what he’s just done. Bumblebee practically yanks his hand back.
“I’m sorry!!”
He waves around frantically,
You still appear a bit dazed, and you take his hand, seizing his crazy movements. He stopped altogether.
“It’s okay Bee, I don’t mind.” Your voice sounds so soft. Warm. You shift your position, moving closer to his seated form.
“Bee, is it okay if I..” Your hand is outstretched and he gets the message. He nods, because words have failed him. It’s not done all at once. Your movements are a bit slow, precise. Now standing much closer, both your hands extend, and you cup his metal cheeks in interest. Bumblebee is almost afraid to move. Because he’s terrified that the second he does, then your touch will be gone. His eyes closed, and the sound his engine makes is almost a purr of content. Your smile widens as he leans into your hands.
“Wow…”
It’s crazy, a few weeks ago you thought he was probably some kind of monster. Now you feel almost ashamed for making that assumption. This being was far from a monster.
He’s an angel.
Your curiosity gets the better of you and you accidentally stumble into his lap. To steady yourself, you brace your hands on his plated chest. His hand moves to your waist on instinct. You look up at him sheepishly.
“S-Sorry about that.”
“No problem at all!”
This wasn’t the worst thing to happen. He thinks for sure you’ll pull away now that you’ve gathered yourself, but you lean up, wrapping your arms around his neck as you hug him. Bumblebee grows a bit stiff.
“I’m really glad I met you, Bee.” You breathe against his neck. His optics close, and he does his best not to give off too much of a reaction.
“I’m overheating!”
He is a bit alarmed. Did you really have no idea what this was doing to him? He pats your back stiffly.
“S-So am I.”
You pull back, and when you stare at him, he’s so adorably confused. You grin, pressing a kiss to his cheek.
That’s the last blow.
“Systems buffering.”
You hear from his radio. It looks like he’s stopped functioning.
“B-Bee!!”
He needed some time to get his processes to return.
~~~~
You hand the document to Bumblebee and his eyes lit up as he scanned through the article you’d done on him. When Sam approached you a week ago concerning a piece he wanted you to do on Bee, you sort of thought he’d gone crazy. Then he explained that rather than spilling all of his cybertronian secrets, you present a column on his experiences in life.
“This week’s paper.” you explain.
Bumblebee provided a lot of insight considering what he’s been through. His views and expectations for the future actually made for a good read. It also helps to reinforce his human cover. In a way, you’d gotten your story and Bumblebee’s secret was still safe.
“Wow…that’s me!” He pointed at the picture of himself excitedly and you can’t help but laugh.
“I think this is some of my best work. You’ve actually drawn in an audience. The principal congratulated me this morning. A few of the journalism departments were actually interested in having me for a summer internship.”
“That’s great!”
It really is.
This was the first time you’d held back the punchline for a story and still felt unbelievably fulfilled. Not because of the opportunities that were now being presented, but the unlikely friendship you’ve gained.
“So is this why you were always chasing down a story for Sam and I?” He placed the paper at his side on the porch and you shook your head.
“No, not entirely. “
Bumblebee tilts his head curiously.
“With you it was more instinct than anything else. As for Sam and Mickeala, I guess I was so interested in them because deep down I wanted the same thing they have.” You pull your legs to your chest, and Bumblebee looks over at you.
“It would be nice if I could find someone to look at me like that.” You murmur.
You let out a sigh, shaking your head as you turn back to him with a little laugh.
“Sorry that I’m getting all mushy.” He doesn’t say anything, and you tilt your head.
“I think you’re amazing (Y/N).”
You think maybe he’s just saying that to make you feel better, but his brown eyes are glowing now, a blue hue and you sort of just gape.
“Bee your eyes…”
He blinks, then turns his head.
“Sorry about that! The human body is a lot more complicated than I thought. It’ll pass. I didn’t mean to freak you out.” He’s massaging his eyelids and muttering something under his breath.
“It doesn’t freak me out.” Bumblebee still won’t lift his head.
“Can I see?”
He shakes his head.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
You place your hand under his chin gently, tilting his head back in your direction.
“I’ve literally seen you change from a walking, talking robot to a human. I think I can handle some glowing eyes. “ He finally opens his eyes, and you swallow. It was amazing the way the lights circled his iris. That topped with his innocent nature and boyish charms, there was no way you could truly be afraid of him.
“See, that's not so bad.” You grin, and a small smile makes its way on his face. You move your hand, but neither of you have looked away. Bumblebee is still looking at you, and when he starts to get closer, you take a breath and pull back. You can see the instant regret on his face.
“I-I’m sorry I didn’t mean to… I don't know why I..I..” He’s rambling, similar to the way he does when he’s communicating through the radio.
“I-Its fine Bee don’t worry.” You mess with your shirt.
This is terribly awkward.
“Y-You know it’s normal for boys your age to be interested in that stuff.” Why the hell do you sound like a sex ed teacher.
“W-With the new body you just want to test that stuff out and it’s fine. I just think you should do it with someone you actually have feelings for you know.”
“Someone I have feelings for…do you mean like Sam and Mikeala?”
So he does understand.
“Exactly. They care about each other, so it’s normal. So when you find someone like that, you should go for it.”
“I’ve already found someone like that.”
Your guts twists at that.
“Y-You have.”
Why did you sound so disappointed, of course he found someone.
“Well that’s good. You should probably tell them.”
“I have feelings for you (Y/N).”
You pause, hell your entire body froze. Some part of you thinks it’s a joke, but when you look over at Bumblebee, his eyes emit so much hope that it makes your heart hammer.
“Me..?”
You whisper.
He smiles awkwardly.
“I just think you’re so confident and driven and kind. When you found out about me you could have told the world, but you kept my secret. You protected me even though you didn’t have too. Also sometimes you make this face when you’ve just snagged a good story. And when you accidentally eat spicy foods your face scrunches up and it’s so cute!”
He’s actually gushing.
You can hardly believe this.
Bumblebee takes in your speechless expression, clearing his throat.
“A-Anyway that’s all I wanted to say.”
Now he looks bashful, and you want to interject and tell him that he’s the one who’s absolutely adorable in everything he does.
“If there is someone else that you-”
“There’s no one else.” You interrupt.
You weren’t sure it was possible, but the light in his eyes shine brighter, and you smile.
His cheeks are a bit flushed now.
“S-Sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
You’re the one who moves a bit closer now. Bumblebee looks your way, and your gaze trails to his lips.
“Before..were you trying to kiss me?”
He nods, partially in a trance.
“Yeah…”
“Do you mind if I kiss you instead?”
“Please do.” He hums. You release a little giggle, hand resting on top of his as you move in. He’s nervous, you can see it all over his face. The closer you get, the faster your heart beats. Bumblebee’s eyes slide shut slowly as you both begin to meet in the middle.
“Bee you ready to go.”
Sam walks out onto the porch, and you both turn.
“Y-Yeah I’m ready.” He stands, and so do you.
“Damn you Witwicky.” You growl. Sam sends you a look, backing up.
“I’ll take that as my que to leave.” Sam says.
Bumblebee sends you a look that adds to the already erratic beats in your chest.
“Guess I’ll see you at school?” He says softly.
You nod.
“Definitely.”

Chapter Seven: Sleep Talk
“ Even the best of hero’s have nightmares. It's how they conquer them, that makes them worthy enough for the title,”- (G/D) (L/n)
youtube
7
Energon. Screams. Blasts. Falling!
The young brown skinned girl woke up with a start, tears flooded her honey eyes as she stared at the dark depths of her room. The twist and turns of the shadows didn't make things better as she could still hear and see the war terrorist from her nightmares; the red glowing optics to the angler metal of his faceplate. His whole design screamed ‘fear me’. Her grandfather went a little too into detail when telling her the story, he stopped shortly after she started to shy away underneath the covers. It was too real. 
(Y/n) could almost vividly see the metal sword in her hands, swish and flick of her tail in her peripherals as the autobot leader gave orders to the autobots for their mission. It was everything she could imagine, fighting alongside hero’s for their planet. That was until everything they had accomplished was stripped from their arms within a few minutes. Scouts turned up missing, wreckers removing themselves from the fight as lost hope began to emerge, don't even get her started on the captains and sargents. 
She wanted to be that hero that would earn the words ‘well done’ by a Prime. In the end, she was a fool. A child that didn't know any better. 
She almost died, she could still feel her weightless body flowing through the air nearly hitting the metal ground below. It was horrible the sights she had seen; torn metal appendages, energon spilled-dried and fresh, to the lifeless cybertronian bodies laid in vast piles. These were the parts of war she had nightmares about-the cost of the auto bot cause, millions of lives and deaths thrown away for a planet that might not ever be the same way again. 
She needed to leave the dark. She didn’t want to think of those red optics scratching down her small form. 
(Y/n) got out from under the covers with space cadet number five-her teddy bear- and made the decision to seek out her grandparents in their room. It had been awhile since she’s done so, after all she was twelve now and needed to stop relying on her grandparents for these sort of things such as comfort. But the grave voice of that monster continued to echo in her head. 
‘Run little knight! But your death awaits today!’
 The master bedroom was at the end of the hall. It had a large bookshelf in the far corner along with a desk littered with papers that were no doubt the affairs of the (L/n) library. The walls were pure ivory. ‘We leave the walls white like a canvas ready to be painted.’ The bed was a carved one-antique- harboring the foreign language not made for the human youngest. She never could figure out what it said, Nana said she would be told when she was older. 
The door to they’re bedroom was already open, on the other side she could hear their voices halting her movements. Her grandmother was upset, her voice rolling out in hisses she used in order not to wake her up when they were arguing. (GD/N) sat on the bed rubbing his head in frustration, his hair was long gone by now, only his beard and eyebrows left. 
“I can’t believe you’re going through with this!” Nana said, she was pacing back and forth her clasped hands over her heart. One thing about her grandmother is that her emotions affect her heart severely due to her age: one day something was going to give her a heart attack out of pure fright, “there’s an opportunity for you to live longer and you won’t take it-“ 
“I’ll live for a few more years with the treatment, but love-I’ve already lived a life worth living,” his mind was made up, he wasn’t going to sit by and invest money in a treatment to give himself a few more years, “You could use that money to put (Y/n) through college-“ 
“What about her?! You care enough about her education but not enough about her heart when she hears about your health?!” She sobbed, “She’s already lost her parents! Not to mention Estel who she can’t even remember. She can’t afford to lose someone else!”
“(GM/N) I-“
A creak of the door halted the two’s conversation, immediately looking towards the opened door seeing a stray teddy bear in its place. (GD/N) could hear the creak of another closing door at the end of the hall, giving them the answer to his suspicions. 
(Y/n) was never good at pretending to fall asleep, especially when she was in trouble, or her mind continued to be active with endless possibilities. So when her grandfather sat on the end of her bed she decided to give it up and peek under the covers slightly. 
The older man before her doesn't seem upset in the slightest, only a sad look in his eyes and a patient smile upon his lips. She opened her mouth to apologize for eavesdropping only for him to cut her off, “I'm sorry to wake you up sweetheart. That wasn't something you needed to hear-especially on a school night.” He fondled her teddy bear in his hands a bit before passing it over. 
She gave it a little hug in response, “You didn't wake me up pops, i-it was him,” saying his name almost felt like a sin. A ‘he who shall not be named’ vibe with how much evil radiated off of him. 
(G/D) brought the girl into his arms and kissed her forehead softly, it felt almost bittersweet with how much she had heard. She wasn't oblivious to what was going on; the less frequent stories at night, how tired he had grown so much he would miss out on dinner sometimes, to the way he had to force a smile after each cough. She knew her grandfather wasn't well, but just for a moment she didn't want to discuss it, she wanted to live a bit oblivious a little bit longer. 
Oblivious to the fact he one day wouldn't be here to tell her every story known to man. Her original storyteller. 
“He will not harm you,” He whispered in her hair, “he is far enough from your reach.” 
“Because he's eroding on some planet somewhere right pop pop?” (Y/n) smiled a bit expecting him to do the same only to receive a faltering smile instead. Her expression fell, and a sense of dread filled her stomach, “He is far away from earth right Pops? He is simply a legend…..fiction-,”
“I have told you many times (Y/n). Legends stem from some form of truth, whether it simply be stories altered over time or something the human mind simply can't comprehend.” (G/D) looked towards the bookshelves in her room, eyes landing on the leather books, “I at times couldn't comprehend, neither could my subconscious mind. But there at times would be a voice or two in my corner ready to prove and relay the message before it indeed became that in my mind-a story-fiction.” 
The young girls lips wobbled, “So he's going to come kill us all one day, and there's nothing I can do about it,” fat tears fell down her round cheeks as she furiously wiped them away, “How can I be a hero when all I do is have nightmares about that-that-stupid and selfish warlord and hide underneath the covers at the mention of him?” 
 “You are already beginning to act like a hero,” (GD/N) chuckled. His amusement to her augment fueled her frustration. Out of all the books she’s read it was hard to believe that cybertronian hero’s got scared, or were haunted by their terror. Could they even dream? When they recharge do they imagine what peace seems like? The families they could have and more? 
“No I'm not!” She argued, “A hero doesn't get scared! Optimus doesn't get scared! The book never once mentioned him getting scared or having nightmares!” 
“Ah,” He laughed, “That is indeed true, the book never mentions the Prime getting scared, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get scared like the rest of us. On the contrary, I bet every time he went on that battlefield his spark was pounding to the point he could barely give orders to his comrades. Lives are in his servos each time he goes on the battlefield-and that is indeed scary…especially if his most trusted friend is now his enemy, because he lost his way.” 
(G/D) grabbed the young girl's chin and held it high, “Even the best of hero’s have nightmares. It's how they conquer them, that makes them worthy enough for the title,” 
If he was going to leave, he was going to make sure she achieved this dream at least. Afterall, if things were to go down the way their family all knew, she would be the main successor out of all of them. The main hero of planet earth.
~ ✯ ~
The group made haste through the facility guiding the large cybertronian towards the Cube. Every second counted in this situation, there was no time for mistakes. It could be felt through the air: the tight tension of who was to die today and who could be saved. 
They made a mistake, and it was time to fix it. 
When they reached the room the cube was being held it took (Y/n) a minute to steady her breathing. Her eyes had gazed at it not even forty minutes ago from a safe distance, now that she was up close all the stories and legends told didn’t do it justice. The large encrypted block raided power. 
Life. 
Destruction. 
Sam dragged her out of her gaze by pulling on her sleeve guiding her to the side as large ped steps got closer. It was grounding, as if the bots' near presence was a shield from everything going on. They were his charge, no harm was going to befall them. 
The scout looked up at the cube for a minute before reaching up and placing his hands against it. Whirrs of wonder echoed from the young bot, leaving her to question if  he knew what to do in order for them to leave with it. It was huge! Too large to even drag it out of the building with five autobots to join in the haul. For a moment and just a moment, she did wonder if the pyramid were all cubes, the other half buried underneath the ground. It was ridiculous, colonizers couldn't break through cybertronian tech as well as they could rock. 
“Does he know what he’s doing?” Mikeala whispered to (Y/n).
“Of course he does,” she replied without hesitation, “he’s smarter than he lets you know.” 
Optics flickered to her for a moment sending chills down her spine. She hadn't realized he could hear them whispering, and hot shame boiled in her stomach as if she did something scandalous. She would have to at least write that down somewhere that autobout have advanced hearing. 
Bumblebee focused back on the cube placing his digits back up on it before an electric shock of blue consumed the cube. A metallic whirring could be heard along with the familiar shifting of metal as the artifact started to fold in on itself seeming to get smaller. He moved his hands in focus, seeming to instruct the cube what and how he wanted things to be done. 
The humans in the room could do nothing but watch in sheer amazement. After centuries and years of believing they knew everything only to find out they didn’t even have half of it was truly shocking. 
“Oh, my god,” Mikeala said, “(Y/n) this is-“ 
“More than I’ve ever dreamed of,” (Y/n) smiled, her hands were shaking at her side, tears welling up from too many emotions taking over, “Pops….I wish you could see this.” 
The cube finally shrunk down to the palm of the bot's hand, giving his digit a little shock as he examined it a little. He then turned to (Y/n), “Message from Starfleet, Captain. Let’s get to it.” 
“He’s right.” Lennoxx stepped forward, “We stay here, we’re screwed with Megatron in the other hangar. Mission City is twenty two miles away. We’re gonna sneak that Cube out of here and we’re gonna hide it somewhere in the city.” 
“Good! Right.” It seemed like a miracle that Simmons was agreeing with them. I guess the cube being handled by the robot was enough for them. 
“But we cannot make a stand without the Air Force.” 
“This place must have some kind of radio link?!” Questioned the Captain, “Shortwave, CB?”
“Yes. Right, yes!” Simmons said, “in the Aline Archive, there’s an old Army radio console.” 
“Will it work?”
“Anything is possible!” the agent exclaimed, gesturing towards Bumblebee and where the cube once was mounted. “Did you see that?!” 
“Sir, you got to figure out some way to get the word out to them.” The soldier said, he turned towards (y/n) her face apprehensive, “are there any problems with my plan? You know these guys better than we do.” 
Everyone turned to the girl expectantly, and it left her stomach doing twists. For some odd reason she looked up at Bumblebee, maybe hoping for an answer of his own. The only thing she received was a soft whirr and a nod. It didn’t need words, she knew what he was trying to say. 
“ U-uh, so there’s only two problems-,” 
“ Two?” Epps asked, “to be honest I was expecting more.” 
(Y/n) laughed lightly trying to shake her nerves, “ Yeah well we don’t really have time to go in with a full hardcore plan right now. If we’re going into this we must understand the risks. First ,” she turned to the Captain and Simmons , “Be prepared to barricade the room for the radio, if I know anything about autobots and deceptions is that they can easily tap into satellites-that especially counts towards radios and internet. A decepticon might be sent loose in the facility to try to stop you.” 
“Jesus,” Sam whispers. 
“Second, about the cube being hidden in the city, I don't agree with it but we don’t have other options at the moment.” The girl huffed, “while on the radio with the men send out an emergency alert to order civilians to exit the city. War with cybertronians  is nothing compared to war between humans. Thousands of people will die in this city if we are not careful. Am I clear?” 
Everyone nodded, “ Good. That uh-was my peace.” 
Mikaela smirked, “there’s the girl I got the hots for in the back of the class.” The girl missed the way the black and yellow bot snapped his head in her direction before an optic roll seemed appropriate. 
To be honest now wasn't the time for emotions to flow. 
Sam refrained from making a face, “ Let’s move before Megatron decides to use our bodies for target practice.” 
“ He actually has done that with a soldier that betrayed him before-”
“ (Y/n) not now! ” 
“ Alright Sam, (Y/n) get in the car! ” Lennoxx ordered, “ Mr. Secretary! Get our birds in the air! When we get to the city, we’re gonna find a radio, and I’ll have Epps vector them in, okay? ” 
“Affirmative!” 
Sam ushered into the passenger side seat with (Y/n) in the driver. Mikeala took it upon herself to protect the cube in the back. Personally (Y/n) would’ve done the job herself but a soldier had already shoved her in the driver's seat before she could protest. Bumblebee drove the facility with the soldiers on the rims of his tires. The exit seemed so far with the short amount of time they were making it through. 
“ WARNING! NBE ONE CRYO-CONTAINMENT FAILING. ”
(Y/n)’s heart stopped, “ What the fuck did that just say?! ” 
“ Oh boy, ” Sam uttered, “ Better get ready to haul ass Bee! ” 
“ Haul ass?! He better drive like he got some sense! Cause I’ll be damned if I die at the hands of that terrorist you hear me! ” 
A rumble of the engine from Bumblebee could mean two things: a scoff or a boisterous laugh. Now wasn’t the time to figure out which was which. 
“Set a perimeter around the yellow vehicle!” Lennox shouted. 
For support (Y/n) gripped the steering wheel trying to focus on the autobot insignia on the horn rather than the loud screams bouncing off the concrete walls. They successfully excited the facility with support ,they still weren’t out of the woods yet. They needed to reach the city to hide the cube or possibly had it off to Optimus. And Mission City was a few miles from their grasp. 
“The cubes okay?” Sam asked Mikeala
“Yeah, it’s fine,” She said, adjusting it in the seat. 
“Put the seatbelt around it” (Y/n) said quickly, “the less it moves the better” 
Even though it was minutes it felt like ages before they got far enough to feel safe for a moment. Even safe enough to quietly talk amongst themselves as teens if they would never do it again. 
“And here I thought I was going to go shopping this weekend for graduation.” Mikeala sniffed, “I’m the first to graduate high school in my family. It’s a big achievement and I wanted to look good when showing my potential future kids.” 
“I was going to write a Harry Potter quote on my cap with our grad year.” (Y/n) laughed lightly. It was true, originally it was going to be Star Wars, but she decided that the many hormonal boys in their grade would’ve bashed her. A girl loving something ‘sacred’ to them didn't seem on their wish list. 
Sam chuckled lightly as well, “lemme guess, ‘RONALD WHEALSLY HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR!’” the scream almost seemed like perfection at the moment, 
They bursted out in laughter. The only real time they’ve laughed without stress behind it. Bumblebee even let out a little rumble. 
“No, it was ‘Whenever in doubt, go to the library’” The girl giggled. 
Mikeala smiled, “ It suits you.” It did, the library was attached to her family in more ways than one. It was her livelihood, almost like Banes Motorcycle shop was to her. “But honestly now you need to change it to ‘I saved the world I deserve more than this piece of paper.’” 
There was a moment of silence before it was abruptly cut through with a blade of a truck horn. Seeing the familiar vehicle made the girl smile in triumph, it seemed like things were turning around with the reunion. 
“There’s Optimus,” Sam announced.
The teens watched the autobot leader along with his team screech their tiers against the ground in a sharp turn before following them quickly behind. (Y/n) knew deep down the autobots we’re glad to see Bumblebee alright once more. Their scout had survived, although young, Bumblebee is a lot tougher than one could describe. But she had a feeling they knew that already, they had watched him come or of hard situations before right? 
It was another few miles before they heard it. Sirens. At first (Y/n) had thought their plan of getting in touch with the government worked pretty quickly, that was until she spotted the military truck and  behind it. It was a domino effect; two of the drivers surrounding them were taken out swiftly with the truck crashing and flipping them over. 
The girl could only sit in the seat and stare her eyes widening as she stared at the side mirror. Abruptly she was yanked back further in her seat by the seat belt and the windows were rolled up completely. 
“Are they-are they-“ she couldn’t finish. 
“No no no no no no,” Sam said, watching the rearview. 
“What?” Mikeala asked. 
“It’s the same cop!” Sam hissed, “the one that attacked me and (Y/n) before. Block ‘em, block em, block em, block em!” 
The military truck transformed first on the road, the ground shaking abruptly behind them as a fierce roar was let out from the decepticon. The enemy's enthusiasm was short lived as the autobot leader followed suit, making it his mission to be the defense as they continued forward. (Y/n) yanked a bit on the seat showing the scout she wished to see the action a bit more. 
A Prime in action wasn’t something you see everyday. 
A look in the side mirror led her heart to accelerate. The decepticon had skated purposefully into a civilian bus on the highway, the flames rode on the road watching fellow cars skid to a halt at the destruction the cybertronian had caused. Optimus unfortunately was a bit too late turning around, Sam let out a yelp as the autobot leader was tackled off of the skying road to the ones on the ground below. 
(Y/n) snapped off the seatbelt with a new rush of adrenaline and rushed to Sam's side of the vehicle to see the fight below. A car was just a sliver away from the fight and she could only pray that the civilians inside wouldn’t be harmed. Optimus was the first to throw a strong hook into the cons faceplate then taking them further down to another level of the roads. 
To see the Prime handle his adversary with determination and sheer strength was breathtaking. His sword’s protruding from his servos where nothing like she imagined. Were they hot or cold? They were a fiery yellow gradient to orange, and to see the damage they caused to the decepticon was chilling. The leader landed one final blow stabbing upwards through the enemies neck cabling, sparks flew everywhere before a snap sounded and the cons head rolled along the ground. 
“Wow…” a breath left the Afro hairs lips, “ And that was only one decepticon. What was it like when he invaded bases with only three comrades by his side.” 
Sam shook his head, “I dunno if I want to imagine that. Did you see what he just did?” 
“I am so glad we got in this car.” Mikeala whispered. 
A sliver of a memory of her grandfather warped in her mind. The comfort of his arms to the gentle peck on her forehead, “ Even Optimus gets scared,” 
“I wonder how scared he is right now.” (Y/n) thought carefully, “my hands are shaking with the whole world in our hands. Imagine thinking of his world and protecting ours as well. His home is lost and he’s protecting ours from the thing that can possibly give them another planet.” 
Sam and Mikeala both looked at each other, their eyes speaking for themselves without words. 
Exactly what did they get themselves into? And what will be the cost if either side wins? 
Upon arriving at Mission City, (Y/n)’s whole mood shifted. Uncertainty took over as she scanned the roads crowned by fleeing civilians and cars left along the roads. It was a reminder of how much was at stake. To think just staring at one road filled with people makes you think about the whole world; about classrooms, children, families, friends, even enemies. 
Cause at the end of the day if this doesn’t work. They’ll all be damned. 
The aircraft’s above reassured her that they indeed had taken her advice. Simmons and the others had made it out long enough to send a message out. Even though she didn’t like him-doesn't mean she can’t respect his bravery and service. 
Sam pulled his best friend out of the car along with Mikeala. The cube rested in the backseat making the girl nervous; to be honest she felt like it needed to be held at all times. She had a feeling that if she looked away long enough it would disappear and all their efforts would be for naught. Even with all the heavy duty surrounding them in the street she still felt too exposed. 
“Green smoke is the mark. Provide air cover and vector Black Hawks for extraction.” Epps ordered. 
A thunderous aircraft circled a building, flying recklessly to be there. (Y/n) broke off from Sam peering closely before it dawned on her. To think that there wasn’t going to be any hacking with the transmissions between other aircraft was foolish-and she even forgot about it for a moment- and she was the one who had warned them about it. Through her most recent books of studies there were only a few aircraft’s recorded decepticons. And only two really mattered. 
The Terrorist. And his Second Command. 
The tales she had heard about Starscream made her laugh and grow frustrated. To think that one of the most dangerous decepticons was a coward and the most brutal was very contradictory. One that really stuck with her was the battle he had with three scouts, apparently there was only one that was able to outsmart Starscream and escape. It had led the commander to grow more hostile to scouts and lower ranks of the autobot cause as a result. 
He had learned his lesson that ranks don't matter on the battlefield. Only wit and sheer determination. 
“Oh shit-” 
“It’s Starscream!” Ironhide announced transforming causing the other autobots to follow. The weapon’s specialist immediately started to get to work on a barrier for protection, “Backup! Take Cover! Bumblebee!” The scout was right behind him picking up a blue truck for a shield. The moment would’ve been something to marvel at however the expending screams ruined it. 
“No,no, no, no, no! Move!” Lennox ordered, he grabbed two other soldiers from their posts gesturing for others to follow suit. It was obvious the aircrafts were not going to be able to defend them against Starscream in time, and now that (Y/n) thought about it was probably for the best.  The fire back from the decepticon would have led to many plane crashes leaving more casualties in the city with the tall buildings. 
“Back up! Back up!” 
“Retreat! Fall back!” But it was futile; the tanks were already in position and all they could do was get out of them. The men stumbled over themselves to get away from the danger before them. Civilians being dragged along the way if they were hiding in nearby alleys and stores. 
(Y/n) grabbed both Mikaela and Sam ducking for cover. Her heart was racing, she made it halfway on the ground before she felt it, the hot sizzling explosion causing the ground to rumble and break before them.  They flew a few feet from impact, blinding them for a few moments. 
“Anybody hurt? Everyone in okay?” Lennox screamed. He helped Mikeala giving her a once over before turning to Sam, “Where’s (Y/n)?!”
The said girl was on her side by a gray vehicle turned upside down. She let out a small whimper before shifting on her back, accidentally hitting her head against metal. At first she thought it was debris from the explosion, possibly from the truck. Until her eyes focused from the fog, seeing the infamous black and yellow signature of a cybertronian ped. 
Only the thing is-it wasn’t attached to its owner.

10 Popular Transformers Fanfiction Tropes/Ships That I Don’t Like (And Here’s Why)
Disclaimer: If you enjoy these? Fine. If you don’t like these? Also fine. You’re entitled to your opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.
1) Human x Cybertronain parings. 
Now, I wanna say that it’s not the pairing in itself, there can be relationships without physical intimacy, and that’s fine. If they’re presented as only having content with each other, and not needing physical intimacy, I’d readily accept that. However, a lot of times, I’ll see stories where a human and a Cybertronain manage to conceive a child, and it annoys me because (not only is there a huge size difference) it also shouldn’t be biologically possible, and yet, it always happens, and there isn’t ever a really GOOD explanation, if there’s one at all.
2) Major OC inserts.
This is gonna get me some hate, but I’ve never been a fan of OCs in general, especially in a franchise that has as many characters as Transformers does. A lot of times, the OCs are completely overpowered, and they HAVE to be the child of someone important, whom everyone is after, or they’re a secret Prime, or a great warrior, or, they’re a plain human (but really techno-organic) who suddenly finds out of their Cybertronian heritage. I come to fanfiction to read about the characters I know, and I find it hard to really care about any OCs because I don’t know them before hand, and why should I take the time to learn? This isn’t an attack on ALL OCs, but I think they’re best in small doses on the sidelines, while the main fic primarily focuses on someone else.
3) x reader stories.
Now, there are a lot of these (especially on wattpad) and I dislike them for a lot of the same reasons I dislike the previous 2, I just, don’t care. It doesn’t feel real to me, and you get stories titled “Transformers One-Shots” and I think it’s gonna be a good story, but I go to the chapter index and all I see is “Optimus x Yandere!reader” “Megatron x Mute!reader” “Soundwave x Demon!reader” and it annoys me, because I came looking for Transformers one-shots, and I got this...
4) Human centric stories.
I am but a simple fan. I’m here to read about the giant metal robots. I would like to read about the giant metal robots. Sam Witwicky is one of the most common characters to be a main human protagonist (Usually with powers granted to him by the AllSpark) and I just don’t like him. It bugs me, and I get they’re trying to give more love to the human characters, but the humans only ever truly work as a supporting cast in Transformers, and putting them in the spotlight kinda annoys me.
5) Unnecessary gender swaps
This one has always bugged me because you’ll get great summaries like “With the Autobots running low on moral and supplies, tension is high. Megatron has been missing for months, and the Decepticons have gone silent. When the  battered and injured Warlord of the Decepticons stumbles to the Ark with no memories, a sinister plot is uncovered” and then it’s like “oh, btw, fem!Megatron” and it seems SO unnecessary, and I have to ask what the point of the sex change is. And usually, ANY sex change is accompanied by a pairing with someone formally of the same gender, like “Fem!Megatron x Optimus” or vice versa, and it kinda ticks me off.
6) Unnecessary new sibling/twin character
This kinda falls in line with OCs, but it’s a category of it’s own. Authors introduce new sibling characters (usually with VERY similar names) and then the story focuses on them, like “Samantha Witwicky, twin sister of Sam Witwicky”. Most people seem to paint it as a “what if (insert character had a sibling) but the sibling is so prominent in the story, it’s kinda clear it’s just another OC in a shiny new paint job. Typically, these characters are also very Mary Sue-like.
7) Megatron x Starscream
This may be because I’m a big MegOP fan (Even though I can actually picture Optimus with more characters than Megatron) but I’ve never been a huge fan of this pairing, at least, in any way other than a VERY casual fling. I can’t see Megatron tolerating Starscream enough to actually frag him.
8) Shockwave x anyone (post-shadowplay)
His whole shtick is that he’s logical, cold and emotionless. He would never care for anyone, regardless of circumstance even in the continuities where Shadowplay wasn’t a thing yet. I find it so aggravating when I see “Shockwave grows to care for this new recruit” or something along those lines, because he doesn’t care about love or romance. Dare I say it, but it’s illogical to pair him with anyone.
9) Optimus Prime x Bumblebee
I shouldn’t have to say much, but I feel like they work more with a family dynamic than with any sort of romance dynamic.
10) Megatron or Optimus (or any other popular character) x characters they have no history/chemistry with and only spoke to like once
So, this happens a lot, and it’s always just, lackluster, because in the shows, usually, the characters have never never even spoken to each other alone, and at best have spoken on the other’s presence. Like, I’ve seen quite a bit of TFP Megatron x Arcee, but they’ve never really interacted in the show much at all. I don’t even think Megatron has ever spoken Arcee’s name. Another ship I’ve seen that does this is Optimus x Grimlock (which I put in the same category as Megatron x Starscream). It’s just unbelievable these two would ever actually frag, and it pulls me out when it tries to be serious.
No, crack ships and stories do not count, those are actually fun, as they don’t take themselves too seriously, and, generally speaking, do tell a nice and entertaining story.
Welp, this was it. I’m ready for the comments now.
