Optimus x Ratchet

Too old for this

Time had passed and already, lyra pax was attending the academy along with her sire teaching her what it means to be a great leader. Ratchet had also started teaching her every secret of his medical and scientific knowledge and the two discovering new things(for her) in the lab.

"Uncle wheeljack!" She exclaimed before running over and hugging him, the ex-wrecker laughed, "hey there sunray!" He lifted her up and tossed her to the sky lightly, she squealed in glee before hearing her carrier say, "seriously wheeljack?? I told you to stop calling her that!" The explosive mech merely rolled his optics and smirked, "sunshine.. the nicknames will never be let down- woAh- no need to get aggressive!" He held up his servos, ratchet glared at him before slowly putting the wrench away. "I am growing to old for your shenanigans.." "come on carrier, he's just messing around!" She says, hugging the italian striped bot tightly. Ratchet rolled his optics before huffing, "come lyra, wheeljack needs to go back to work. You have to go to professor chase's for the next lesson." She huffs, "alright.. see ya uncle wheeljack!" He smiled and waved a servo, "catch ya later!"

Optimus was looking through some of the new recruits that were starting to attend to the academy, ratchet walked in and sighed, "so what's new?" The prime hummed, "there are some fine students that wish to be accepted but there's this one young mech-" "that caught your attention? Again?" The prime chuckled, "he seems very interesting." Ratchet walked over to his desk and took the datapad out of optimus' servo, "hmm.. wh- he's rogue-! Optimus- seriously?!" The prime smiled brightly before the ex-CMO facepalmed, "why am i not surprised..." optimus took the medical teacher's servo, "it'll be fine, he seems promising." "First smokescreen with the matrix of leadership, then hotshot and the multicog- now a young, rogue mech with one ability which is blowing up his science projects... orion, I swear to primus..." the prime laughed, "i love you too sweetspark." The two gave each other a brief kiss before ratchet placed the datapad down and walked out of the office to prepare for the next class. 'I thought being a CMO was hard... hah, although.. being a medical professor is fun as well.' Ratchet thought before his dermas curved upwards into a small smile.

"Lyra, excellent job!" Chase said and the small bot smiled up at him, "thank you professor chase! I am trying my best!" The police bot nodded in approval, "now it's time for you to go to professor boulder, he'll be teaching you about human culture." She smiled brightly, "i am so looking forward to it!" Chase patted her helm before shooing her and her classmates to the next class. Lyra skipped down the hall, finding her way around the corridor, when she turned a corner she spotted her older brother bumblebee. "Hey bee! Whatcha doing?" The yellow bot turned over and smiled, "hey lyra, i was just cleaning up this mess- shouldn't you be in class?" Lyra looked over to see the scattered datapads on the floor and then to her brother, "yup- to professor boulder! I can't wait to learn more about the humans!" The racer chuckled and reached a servo to her helm, patting her before saying, "oh yeah- sire wants to see you after the academy is done. Alright?" She gave a nod before giving him a quick hug, "okay, cya later bee!" Lyra said cheerfully before jogging away, turning another corner to professor boulder's class. Bumblebee watch and then sighed, chuckling to himself if his sparkling was going to have a personality as bubbly and cheerful as her.

"Hotshot! I needed that!" "Oops- sorry.." medix sighed as he walked over and scooped up the broken glass, "it's alright, i can always get another one." The medic shrugged, hotshot gave a nod but apologized again silently. "Trouble in paradise?" The two juniors looked over to see ratchet standing at the doorway with his arms crossed over his chassis with a small smirk. "Uncle ratchet! Uh- no- just another..." "broken equipment?" Ratchet snorted and then burst out laughing, "my- I remember when bulkhead, smokescreen, wheeljack, and even optimus at times had accidentally broken my tools. Here, give it to me." Medix looked at the broken flask before handing it over to his uncle, the older medic took it and opened his subspace, putting the broken one in and pulling out a new one. Medix took the new flask that was handed to him and gave a nod of appreciation, "thank you uncle." Hotshot watched medix place the flask where it was originally before looking over to ratchet and asked, "optimus accidentally broke your equipment too??" Ratchet chuckled and nodded, "yup- I remember when he was just coming in to see how bumblebee was doing, he leaned back on one of my tables and then he leaned back to much that his back crushed part of my computer array that i had finished setting up and-" "he was furious." The three looked over to see optimus standing tall behind ratchet, the old medic didn't even realize he had came in. "Optimus, i almost got scared! I swear to primus- stop doing that to me!" The prime gave him a warm smile, a smile that had increasingly became common for bots to see. "I remember how much you scolded me, old friend." "And I don't regret it! It was delicate equipment! I-" "needed that?" Optimus, hotshot, and medix said in unison. Ratchet blushed madly out of embarrassment but then kept it at bay, "yes- i-.. i needed that..." optimus chuckled and gave ratchet a small kiss, "i know you do. Now, i must go find lyra." Ratchet hummed, "she might be with the human girl- uh- frankie." Ratchet said, and the prime gave a nod, "meet you back home?" The old medic smiled, "see you then."

"Sire..?" Optimus looked down at his daughter, he knelt down so that they could kind of meet optic to optic. "Lyra... i know this may be to early to tell you but when i pass, i want you to carry the matrix." Lyra's optics widened, "i-.. of course, sire.. but.. is something wrong?" She could feel a bit of tension in optimus and she felt nervous. "I apologize my sweet sparkling- but you will learn later, alright..?" Lyra gave a nod, concerned about what her sire knew. Something was up.
