Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 55

Smut in this Chapter

When Saphira awoke the next morning, she felt as though she was dreaming. Yesterday felt like a nightmare, so waking up like this felt very nice. She didn't want anything to ruin her day. She was still laying on top of Optimus's chassis, she could feel it rise up and down with each gentle intake and exhale as the commander continued recharging. The pulse of his spark that she could hear as she lay against his chassis, it was incredibly soothing. She did not want to wake her sleeping Prime, she wanted him to keep recharging so he could be back at full strength soon enough. She did not even want to move her body to indicate that she was awake.

However, as she laid on the chassis quietly, she felt Optimus's fingers shift slightly and began to rub her back gently. She smiled as she felt him comforting her. “Morning, Saphira. I can see you are awake.” Saphira opened her eyes and looked up at his face. His optics were soft as he looked back at her. “Did you sleep well?”

She nodded and stretched out her body. “I sure did.” She kissed his chassis gently as she relaxed on the chassis. “It was a very nice sleep while listening to the pulse of your spark. And you? Was your recharge comfortable?”

“It was indeed,” Optimus responded and she felt his fingers carefully wrap around her waist and pull her up closer to his face, making her giggle softly. “I dreamed of the first nice we had alone together.” He kissed her gently and she kissed him back as she listened to him. “I almost want to do that again…but Ratchet has to clear me to even be able to go out for a drive.”

“It's understandable, you probably will be ordered to not do anything strenuous for a little while.” She kissed him again, rubbing his cheek gently. “I am sure we can both follow his orders quite well.”

“Indeed. I feel like I am almost back at full strength, though I definitely know that I will likely have to wait at least another day or two before I am given the full clearance.” He hummed gently as he rubbed her back. “Of course…we both may push it when we go back to my berth room.”

Saphira giggled at him, completely understanding what he meant. So he had no doubt that after nearly dying the way he did, he wanted nothing more than to be in an alone, private place with her. “I am sure we can behave so Ratchet does not have a spark attack. So long as the door is locked, of course.”

He grinned and kissed her. Optimus could tell that Saphira was feeling like he was at the moment. They both have had close calls to death, and they both were now seeking comfort from each other. Optimus almost wanted to complete their bond, yet he knew it was still foolish to do so. Nonetheless…Saphira may still try to get him to do it, and the temptation would be incredibly strong.

“I see the lovebirds are up.” Saphira and Optimus flinch when they hear Bulkhead's voice and looked to the see the green bot grinning at them. They both were not expecting to hear that from him. Bulkhead chuckles at them. “Don't be alarmed, I kind of worked it out that you both have a relationship sometime ago. It was only confirmed by how Optimus was looking out for you while you recovered from the incident, Saphira, and how Saphira stuck by your side, Prime.”

Saphira smiled and glanced at Optimus with a playful expression. “Seems like we haven't done a very good job concealing our relationship from the others.”

“So it would seem. We only need to hear that Arcee is aware of our relationship now.” Optimus kissed her forehead and cheek before exhaling gently and looking at Bulkhead. “I assume Miko and Raf are here.”

Bulkhead nodded. “They are playing the video game right now. You both have ended up sleeping in, it's already late in the morning. Though Ratchet has not yet emerged from his recharge. He probably needs it as much as you do.”

The two grin at each other, they completely understood that Ratchet would have been tired. He has had quite a few trying weeks, so it was only natural that he would need to rest. Saphira figured he deserved a week off at least. She couldn't see him doing that of course, but it was definitely something she felt he deserved.

Speaking of the medic, the orange and white bot walked into the recharge, looking at Bulkhead in surprise when he saw him by the med berth. “Disturbing my patients, hmm?” He eyed him off with a playful, suspicious expression that made Bulkhead chuckle.

“Na doc, I was just checking in on our lovebirds,” He responded happily. “Seems like the two of them are just fine.”

“I will be the judge of that.” Ratchet began gathering his equipment and looked at Saphira with a smile. “I know you are comfortable where you are right now, Saphira. But if you can move for the moment until I’ve finished checking over Optimus's systems, I would very much appreciate it.” Saphira smiled and shifted to lay right beside Optimus. The medic began doing his scans of Optimus's systems for any sign of the plague and to see how much strength has returned to Optimus. “Hmm…looking good so far…you will definitely want to have a cube today.”

“I definitely feel the need for one,” Optimus responded with a light exhale. “I think a lot of my energy was sapped because I didn't have a cube yesterday…I definitely look forward to filling my tanks with some fresh energon.”

Ratchet nodded as he listened to Optimus, completely understanding what he was feeling. “I definitely understand what you're feeling.” He finished his scan and walked over to the monitors to type on them, bringing up Optimus's vitals. He smiled and turned to face Optimus. “You are in the clear, Optimus. As long as you don't do any strenuous activity for at least another twenty-four hours, of course.” He glanced at Saphira who had an innocent expression on her face. “And that means no drives for just the two of you.”

Saphira acted surprised and pouts a little. “I wasn’t going to ask Optimus to go for a drive. You would be right on our tails if we did do that.” She glanced at Optimus for a moment, winking at him a little before looking back at Ratchet. “I promise I will not let Optimus go against your order. You have my word.”

Ratchet gave them both a look that said he didn't believe it. “Mmmhmm…we will see if you stick to it.” He turned as he heard footsteps of Arcee, Bee and the children walking in as Bulkhead informed them that Optimus could leave the med bay. “Good news everyone, Optimus has almost fully recovered from the Cybonic plague.” He walked closer to the med berth as Optimus moved to sit up. “Easy, Optimus.”

Saphira stepped back to give Optimus some room as he sat up slowly, his joints groan and hiss gently as he moved them. She felt happy tears in her eyes as he moved himself towards the end of the med berth. “I so love my Prime,” She whispered to herself with glee as she watched Optimus stand up.

Ratchet offered himself for support, which Optimus gladly took as he placed his arm around his shoulders. “That's it, steady.” Optimus stood up on his feet while leaning some of his weight onto Ratchet.

They look down as there was an applause from the bots and children, they were all smiling at him as they were all happy about his recovery. “Please, reserve the hero's welcome for my medic…” Ratchet smiled and waved to say it was no bother. “And my scout.”

There was another round of applause for Bee, the yellow bot looked surprised and a little embarrassed about it, but he accepted the applause nonetheless. Optimus smiled and shifted his arm off Ratchet, steadying himself and intaking heavily, Ratchet kept a close eye on him as Optimus steadied himself. He turned to the med bay, Saphira stood at the edge watching quietly with happy tears, clasping her hands together in front of her. She looked so beautiful and innocent the way she looked back at him.

Optimus placed his hands either side of her on the med bay and leaned down with a smile. “I also could not thank Saphira enough for being by my side. I never asked her to do it…and I know seeing me almost dying scared her. I couldn't have asked for anything more of her.”

Saphira's cheeks blush as she listened to him. She stepped closer, got onto her tippy toes and kissed him, holding her lips against his passionately. She heard the gasps from Arcee, Miko and Raf, Jack made no gasp as he already had known about it. He sighed and slipped his hands into his pockets.

“I was never going to let you go through it alone, Optimus,” Saphira said in a loving tone, stepping back from him as he smiled at her. “You didn't leave my side when I needed someone…and I could never have let you face it alone.”

They kiss again and Miko giggles loudly, getting both of their attention. “Soooo…when were you two going to let us know that you are boyfriend and girlfriend?” She asked with a smirk. “I never saw this coming.”

“I…I didn't even think it was…allowed…” Raf adjusted his glasses nervously and glanced up at Bee. “Did you know about this?” Bee responded quickly with a nod and happy whirring. “Oh? You suspected, but didn't know until the recent weeks…” The boy looked at Saphira with a concerned expression before smiling. “I don't fully understand, maybe I’m not yet old enough, but I think it's good if you both are happy.”

Arcee glanced down at the children and saw Jack was sad. She clenched her hands together and walked towards Optimus and Saphira. “So…” She glanced at Saphira with a frown. “Why didn't you tell me that your special bond with Optimus was literally you both being in love with each other?”

Saphira shrugged. “I…we both had agreed to not say anything until we were ready...but now that the other bots know…and we both almost died…I can't really say I care about hiding it anymore.”

“I am in agreement with Saphira,” Optimus said gently, nodding as he listened to Saphira and looked at Arcee. “Arcee…if you are going to tell me…”

“I don't feel that kind of love for you, Optimus,” Arcee interrupts Optimus with a light bark in her voice. “I love you as a friend and family . My love was reserved for Tailgate and Cliffjumper, and it still is. I know you think otherwise, but I don't.” Arcee folds her arms, narrowing her optics. “I have to ask though, are you both out of your fragging minds?!”

Ratchet raised his hands to calm her down. “Calm down, Arcee. They both have already heard this from me. And they both haven't exactly stopped loving each other. And I don't think we can stop them."

Arcee widened her optics at Ratchet. “Oh? You condone human, Cybertronian relationships?”

Ratchet exhaled softly. “No, I don't…but…” He glanced back at the two, Optimus had his hand around Saphira protectively in case Arcee tried to do something rash. “It is no longer possible for the two of them to be separated. It is the reason why Saphira has healed as quickly as she had, and why Optimus's vitals didn't drop as quickly as they might have.”

“They're bonded?” Arcee asked bluntly.

Ratchet shook his head. “Not yet…but it has begun partially.” Saphira looked at Optimus curiously by what Ratchet meant. “And as much as I don't think humans and autobots should have such a relationship, they both are happy. Saphira and Optimus have saved each other, whether we like it or not.”

Arcee intakes heavily and looked at Saphira with a frown. “And when were you going to tell Jack, hmm?” Saphira's expression changed to sadness as she knew Jack liked her…but now he knew. “I told you to not hurt him.”

Optimus looked at Saphira curiously. “What is she talking about?”

Saphira sighed deeply. “Arcee told me that…that Jack has a crush on me.” She looked down at Jack who was looking down. “Jack…” He didn't react upon hearing her address him. “I am sorry if I’ve hurt you unintentionally  I was going to tell you if you had come to me…but…I’m sorry.”

Optimus looked down at the boy, feeling sad about it himself. He had no idea Jack liked Saphira…but he did know Saphira didn't have the same feelings. “I too am sorry, Jack. We both never meant to hurt anyone.”

Jack took a deep breath and looked up at them with a sad smile. “It is okay…I guess I just never had the courage to ask Saphira sooner.”

“I told you not to hurt Jack, Saphira!” Arcee snapped, making Saphira flinch in surprise. “And I might have been right that your bond with Optimus was different to what I had thought it was…but I never thought you would hurt Jack.”

“It isn't like I was out to hurt him on purpose, Arcee. I would appreciate it if you would not assume that.” Saphira sighed deeply and looked at Optimus to speak to him quietly. “Can we go to your room to get away from mother bear?”

Arcee huffed a little. “I won't let you forget it!”

“Arcee, please don't be upset with them!” Jack said sternly to Arcee, surprising the femme and making her look at him sympathetically. “They didn't hurt me, alright? They are free to love each other.”

“But…”

“I agree, it's weird,” Jack continued calmly, looking up at Saphira and Optimus. “But…there must be something really special for the both of them to want to be with each other. And I don't see anything wrong with that. Let it go, Arcee. There will be someone out there for me.”

Arcee felt really sad for Jack, she wanted him to find someone. But as the bot seems to have accepted it, she couldn't do anything more. She looked at Optimus and placed her hands on her hips. “You both had better know what you're doing. I won't interfere, but I don't accept it either.”

Bulkhead placed his hand on her shoulder. “It will be fine, Arcee. The two lovebirds should be allowed to show affection without scrutiny.”

“I can't believe you're accepting it.” Arcee looked at Bumblebee as he whirred excitedly about it and she turned with a huff. “I’m going for a drive. Do you want to come with me, Jack?”

Jack looked at Saphira for a moment before turning and following Arcee silently. Saphira watched them leave and stepped closer to Optimus, laying her head against his shoulder gently. Optimus turned his head and kissed her to reassure her they did nothing wrong. He helped her onto his shoulder and straightened up, remaining steady on his feet.

“Even if it's a little weird, I think you both being happy is the best thing,” Miko comments with a smile, showing peace signs at them. She then placed her hands on her hips and playfully frowned at them. “If either of you hurt the other, I will not let either forget it.”

Ratchet chuckled softly. “Believe me, they both are very aware of it.” He turned to the two of them. “I think you both can go, this enough excitement for one day.”

Saphira nodded, she felt her stomach growling a little. “I need something to eat anyway.” She looks at Optimus with a smile. “Care to take me to my room, please?”

Optimus smiled and nodded, walking away from the berth. “With pleasure.”

Saphira held onto Optimus's shoulder tightly, she smiled at the other bots as they leave the lobby as well. However, she thought she saw a weird expression in Bumblebee's optics, but she felt she was seeing things. Optimus walked to Saphira's room and lowered her to the ground before sitting down and leaning against the wall while Saphira made herself a sandwich.

“Today has already been a mixture of emotions,” Saphira comments as she made up the sandwich. “I…I feel a little guilty that Jack liked me. I never noticed that he had. I’ve always seen him as a friend.”

“I suppose you didn't notice he had other feelings?” Optimus queries curiously, watching her every move. Saphira took a bite of her sandwich, shaking her head in response to his question. “We will have to make it up to him sometime.”

She frowned a little. “Not sure if is something we can make up for. Plus…I think Jack will be okay. We can only wait for him to accept it and just treat him like we would normally. Otherwise I think we would look like we are taking pity on him.”

Optimus processed the words Saphira had said and nodded, agreeing with her. He intakes deeply and exhaled, relaxing as Saphira ate her food. “How are you feeling this morning anyway?”

“Energized…and eager,” Saphira said with a smile, winking at him.
Optimus smiled a little. “It can't be strenuous.”

“It isn't strenuous when we are relaxing from it,” Saphira said seductively with a grin.

The autobot nodded, yet he knew that if they were caught, they would be ranted at. He waited for her to finish her food and go to the bathroom. Saphira thought about showering too, but decided against it. When ready, Optimus picks her up and carried her to his berth room.

Once they were in his room, Optimus sat on his berth, staring at Saphira silently. She started back at him, her eyes filling with desire. She wanted him, she needed him. She threw herself at him suddenly, he caught her as she smashed her lips against his. Optimus let himself fall back on the berth, kissing her with gentle passion, however, Saphira noticed it was slightly less gentle and she was okay with it.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Optimus asked softly, looking at her with loving eyes. “You have only just…”

She cut him off with a kiss and circled her fingers on his cheeks. “Don't tell me to stop…I’m going all the way, and you will not stop me.”

A rumble rolled through his chassis, her words were full of desire and he could feel it in her body. She smiled when the static began to tickle her skin deliciously from his fingers. She moaned softly and Optimus began teasing her shirt, running his finger between her breasts and moving it slightly, causing her buttons to slip from the holes, opening up to Saphira's chest.

He slid it open, slipping the shirt off her body and nibbling at Saphira's neck. She turned her head so she could nibble easier while she kissed his antenna passionately, caressing it with her hands and feeling him shudder from her caress. The two of them, their emotions were high and there was no stopping it.

Optimus moved his lips back up to her cheeks, kissing each side gently before placing his lips on hers, kissing her with the divine gentleness she loves. She felt him gently tug on her lips, sucking on them gently before kissing her chin, the front of her neck and moving down to her breasts. Goosebumps cover her body, she felt the delicious feeling of pleasure pulsating through her body. He circled his thumb around her breast, kissing her left breast gently and humming, causing vibrations in his body that tickled her already hardened nipples.

Saphira moaned and ran her hands to her pants, tugging at the rim. Optimus glanced down and stopped her gently, making glance at him with a frown and saw a cheeky grin on his face. “That's my job, Saphira.”

Saphira chuckled and felt his fingers gently lifting her pant rim and gently pulling her pants down. She moaned as she felt the air against her legs when the fabric was removed. His fingers quickly found their way between her thighs and rubbed over her core, her panties were soaked due to her sensitive core. Saphira shuddered, the static hitting her skin made her shudder and moan with pleasure. She and Optimus kiss with passion before Saphira pulled away from him.

She turned and leaned down to kiss the sensitive places on his chassis, causing the autobot to shudder, and he pressed his thumb firmly into her crotch. She let out a shrill moan, making her cover her mouth instantly in case someone else had heard her. She glanced at the door, wondering if it was locked.

“You did remember to lock the door, right Optimus?” She asked curiously, glancing over her shoulder and smiling at him.

Optimus looked at the door before picking her up and placed her on the berth before sliding off to walk over and make sure it was. While his back was towards her, Saphira stood up and pulled down her panties, kicking them aside. She placed her hands in front of her core and twisted her thighs to make herself appear shy and innocent.

When he was satisfied the door was indeed locked, Optimus turned around and saw the way Saphira was standing. He noticed her panties were on the ground and his engine rumbled in delight and his optics fill with curiosity as he walked over to her, she was biting her lip and trembling with nervousness and excitement. “Are you certain you are ready?” She nodded, looking up at him with red cheeks. “Lay on your back.”

Saphira shuddered at Optimus's order. She carefully sat down, keeping herself covered innocently with her legs crossed. Optimus dropped to his knees as he eyed her body, devouring her with his optics. He leaned in and kissed her, making her giggle and kiss back before he moved his lips down her neck, nipping gently, kissing her breasts and stomach, stopping only to look at her trembling legs. He glanced at her, she was biting her finger in anticipation.

He kissed her knees gently before pushing them apart with his fingers, his eyes locking onto what she has hidden from him for so long. His finger gently rubbed against the soft lips of her core, making Saphira whine and buck her hips slightly. He looked at her eyes, smiling at her love. “You are so beautiful. I love you Saphira.”

“I love you too, Optimus.” They kiss again while Optimus circles his thumb on her core, making Saphira shiver with delight.

Optimus pulled his lips away, looking between her legs. He was intensely curious about her core. Saphira trembled in anticipation, she bit her finger and closed her eyes. Optimus ran his finger between the soft lips of her core, the static causing her to whine and moan in delight, moving her hips against his finger. Watching her reaction told Optimus this was sensitive for her, and that definitely was partly why she was reacting the way she was. He leaned in and placed his lips over her core, kissing gently.

Saphira covered her mouth with her hand, whining with pleasure and arching her back. Optimus kissed her core gently before he began licking. The static from his tongue felt different, it was stronger than from his fingers. It felt incredibly good and she was overwhelmed with emotions right now. She moaned loudly and rolled her hips, Optimus grabbed her hips gently and began sucking on her core.

“Frag!” Saphira gasped out loud, throwing her arms out and panting heavily. “O-Optimus!! I’m…mmmm!!!”

Optimus grinned slightly as he heard her voice, he had her in his clutches. He was extremely careful with her core, he made sure he didn't hurt her. Her core twitched in delight as he continued sucking on her core and began licking again. He pulled back a little, gazing at her entrance curiously. He ran a finger between her folds and pressed gently into her entrance. Saphira let out a grunting moan, arching her back as she felt the pressure of his finger entering her. It sent her over the edge, causing black spots to appear in her vision as her body shook in delight and whining with delight.

Optimus felt the muscles around his finger, even just lightly, pulsating with delight and he pulled his finger back, looking at Saphira who was panting and looking at him with eyes of desire. “Is this everything that you wanted?” She nodded and smiled at him. “Shall we keep going?” She nodded again.

He purred gently and picked her up gently before moving to sit on the berth again and lay down. They quickly began to kiss passionately before Saphira began crawling down his body, kissing him as she went. She glanced down at his crotch eagerly as she crawled. She felt him vibrating with delight, along with the gentle humming and revving as the anticipation was growing for him. Their desires and emotions were driving them and there was no turning back.
