Playing my Heart Part 2

Summary: A long drive, a single truck wash, and a long bus drive all lead to my complicated heart and emotions I wanted to ignore, especially when they were considered forbidden. However, a certain holoform caused a small bit of hope to resurface. Too bad, I wasn't sure who was playing who, especially when it regarded one's heart.

Playing my Heart Part 2

Six months has passed since that fateful encounter with the holoform. Thing slowly shifted back to normal. I still had missions to attend and other jobs on base that needed me. However, over time, it started to bother me as I sat within the Autobot leader's cabin. The more I thought, the more I realized.

I couldn't go on like this.

Eventually, I turned in a letter for a change in position. It was accepted with no questions asked. I was good in my position so moving me around was an easy task. The higher ups just thought I would work best with Prime, and I did.

If only my heart didn't get involved.

We were returning back from another mission. Lately, the missions were regarding the search for energon. Even being on Earth for so long and having the ability to convert fuel to energon, it never occurred to us humans or even the Autobots that finding the actual source would have been better. It was a fluke on my side, to be honest.

I was in my office messing with some chemical components when soil samples were brought in. When battles happened, my job was to make sure that none of the energon spilled would corrupt the ground causing issues for the human race. The components I had received were from a cave fight. I figured it was deep enough that no issues would come from it, but when my results turned a bright blue, I knew I found something.

I took my results to the Autobot's Chief Medical Officer, Ratchet. He was surprised by the results, explaining that I had just found energon. It didn't take long for Ratchet to fly through his datapad pulling up information regarding how energon was stored away on distant planets when the war caused many losses and energon was short on supplies. He felt so stupid forgetting about it. The information was taken to Optimus Prime.

Our first mission took us to one of the neighboring mountains where we received the soil sample. I had my ride transferred to Ratchet. He didn't question me, but I knew that Ratchet could tell something was off. Prime and I used to joke around, talk when things were going bad, sit outside and just gaze at the stars. Now, Prime was found alone, servos behind his back and helm faced up, staring into the black sky.

Ratchet tried to get me to talk, but I told him it was nothing. Prime and I just drifted apart and since my job now required the medical officer of the Autobots more, I thought it was wise to move. He didn't question me anymore after that.

"Did you have good results," a male voice broke me from my concentration as I stepped out of the yellow Hummer. Keith and I became good friends roughly two months ago. I was drowning myself in beer when he bumped into me one night. We sat and talked without going into too much detail and hit off a pretty good friendship.

I smiled at Keith as he stopped by my side. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pressed a quick kiss to my head, his way of saying hello even though I told him I wasn't interested in any relationship. I nodded before moving out of his grip. "There were several energon mines located in that one cave. Ratchet is going to see if there is some way to mine it."

"Who would have figured," guessed Keith as he grabbed one of the huge crates and followed me to my office. It was still located in the same spot, just off from the Autobot commander's office and next to Ratchet's.
