A New World

Chapter XV

I felt something soft pressing along my shoulder in my slowly waking state, and I recognized that it was Optimus pressing soft kisses along my arm. The kisses moved up to my neck as he pulled me closer to him, nipping slightly. I jerked slightly in surprise and felt as he softly chuckled. I went to open my eyes but instead felt Optimus press his lips against mine and I wasted no time in kissing back.

We pulled away after a short time and my eyes fluttered open to meet the bright blue, almost transcendent, eyes of my sparkmate. "Good morning." He rumbled, voice groggy and rough.

I giggled a little and kissed his nose. "Morning." A small smile wove onto his lips as he settled beside me again. I turned and cuddled into his chest, breathing in his scent of vanilla and leather.

Neither of us said anything, simply cuddling and laying on my bed. Feelings flowed freely though our faint sparkbond and I found happiness in listening to the faint whir of Optimus' spark in his holoform. I sighed contentedly and felt as all of my muscles relaxing, before tensing as I heard my door slam open.

"(F/n)!"

Optimus jumped and rolled onto his back while I shot up and looked over towards my door. I immediately spotted Sam and blurted the first thing that came to mind, "Sam what the hell! I was relaxed! We were relaxed!" I growled and the brunette male flinched.

"Sorry, it's just that mom said she'd been calling you." He murmured and I groaned. I did not want to get up. I was having a moment...

I flopped onto my side, falling over on top of Optimus' abdomen as I glared at my brother. I felt Optimus run a hand along my head, playing with my hair. "What does she want?" I grumbled and Sam paused.

"Birthday breakfast I believe." He replied and I sighed.

"I'll be down in a moment." I frowned and he nodded. I turned my head and looked at Optimus whos eyes were half-lidded and tired. "You think Ratchet's up yet?" I questioned, raising a brow slightly.

Optimus nodded and I whined slightly before crawling over my mate and sliding onto the floor. Rolling over, I noticed Optimus looking at me with the most perplexed and concerned look on his beautiful face. I sent him a smile before crawling out of my room. I made my way downstairs and outside where Ratchet sat in his vehicular mode. I rapped my knuckles against the driver side window, seeing a faint flash of blue before the door opened and out stepped the mech's holoform. "Here for a morning check up?" He asked, running a hand through his messy light brown hair.

I nodded and he sighed, motioning me to the back of his alt mode. He grabbed a medical kit as I sat on the gurney and he looked over my arm. "Well, your cybertronian systems repaired most of the structure of your arm but the human part of your make-up doesn't allow it to heal as quickly." Ratchet explained and I raised a brow.

"But, is my arm healed?" I asked and Ratchet semi-nodded.

"For the most part, yes. The main bone structure is healed but it's weak. Much like a normal human bone. So I suggest you keep it in a sling for today, by tonight it should be fully functional and healed." He smiled and I nodded. I slid the sling back over my arm and over my head to rest against my neck.

I hopped out from the back of Ratchet's vehicle mode and walked back inside, Ratchet following behind me. Ironhide's burly holoform sat on the couch in the living room, watching TV with my dad. Ratchet moved to sit with them and I chuckled, shaking my head slightly. I smelled something sweet from the kitchen and I walked in to see Optimus and Sam sitting at the bar while mom stood at the stove.

I moved to stand next to mom, looking over what she was making. "Are you making what I think you're making?" I hummed, eyes widening. Judy hummed a yes and I smiled. "Oh my goodness, you're making Dutch Baby Pancakes." I purred and mom smiled, putting the pan into the oven.
