Street Rat ( Transformers Love Story)

Chapter 13

'It's been a while since we have had Decepticon activity,' Becca wrote down in her journal, sitting on the humans couch. " I would be crazy if i said I wasn't happy, but it mostly scares me. Megatron is not a mech who gives up. He will do anything to get what he wants, no matter the cost.' Becca looks over to Optimus and sighs, 'It seems like I am not the only one concerned about this. Optimus goes for days without any recharge, pacing back and forth in his berthroom. He barely takes his eyes off of the monitor, waiting for any signal to pop up.' Becca paused for a moment biting her lip. 'I can't even have a conversation with him. He either answers me yes, or no, or we'll talk later Becca, I am busy. It's just so frustrating. I get that he is afraid of what Megatron is planning. And I know that if it has been this long, he is planning something big.'

Becca shut her journal and looked over towards Optimus again. Still looking at the screen, she thought to herself. Placing her journal on the couch, she sat up and down the stairs. She made her way by Optimus' foot and looked up. "Optimus," Becca said with a soft voice. She placed her hand on his leg. " You have been standing here all day. Go take a break."

No answer. He didn't even look down. She sighed. " Optimus, please."

" Becca, I am busy right now. We will t-"

" Talk later." Becca finished grimacing.

" Yes." Optimus answered.

Becca rolled her and and turned away, "Whatever." she murmured, walking away. "I'm going out."

Optimus quickly turned his head around. " Becca, you can't. It's too dangerous."

" I don't care Optimus." She snapped. " I need to get out of this base. I haven't gone outside for almost a month. I'm starting to feel like a prisoner." she said putting a sweater on.

" I won't allow you." he stated firmly.

Cracking her knuckles, Becca turned towards him, glaring. "I can do whatever the heck I want Optimus Prime. I am not a soldier. I am your girlfriend."

Just as she was about to walk away, she felt something wrap around her waist, pulling her up. "Hey!" She shouted.

Optimus pulled her up towards his face. Becca pounded her fist against his hand squirmed. "Put me down you jerk!"

"Becca calm down." Optimus said.

"I said put me down!" She yelled, giving him s good kick to the chin.

He grunted, feeling a bit of pain from that kick. "Becca." he said calmly, but stern.

Crossing her arms, she glared at the mech holding her. " What?" She hissed.

He sighed, squeezing the bridge of his nose, frustrated. "Why do you fight me?I just want to protect you, Becca. You mean the world to me."

" Oh really?" She asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm, " well, it's kinda been hard to tell if you do lately. Because for the past month, you have treated me like I don't even exist! Ratchet and I have been worried sick about your health lately, because you barely sleep or eat! When is the last time you even recharged, Optimus?! Your optics are almost grey! Do you know how it makes me feel?! You are so lifeless! I can't even get out a simple hello from you anymore!"

The large mech looked down, feeling guilty. " Becca I-..... I don't even know what to say.... I'm so sorry." He said sadly, letting her now sit on the palm of his hand.

Becca relaxed a bit and sighed. Her face formed a small, sad smile. "Hey, Optimus look at me." He looked up towards her. She stood up and placed both of her hands on his cheekplates and lightly pressed her lips on his. She parted from him. "I know you are worried. I am too. But you can't let your fear control your life. I can see it slowly destroying you and it pains me to see you like that. Bad things will always happen Optimus, but I am one hundred percent sure that everything is going to be okay in the end. You just need to believe that it will be too."

He shut his optics and leaned into her touch, relaxing."You are right. I need to stop worrying about the future. I just...... I can't imagine.... if Megatron ever got his hands on yo-"

" Shhh..." she said placing her hand on his lips, " I'm not going anywhere. I will never leave you. No matter what, I will always find a way to come back to you."

He placed a finger on her cheek. "Promise?"

She took his finger and lightly kissed it. "Promise."

He smiled at her for the first time for days. He gently placed her against his chest, sighing. "I love you."

She leaned into him, happy to be held like this again. "I love you too." 

After a while they separated, "Now," Becca said, as he placed her on the ground. "You, go recharge and grab an energeon cube. You need it." she said pointing down the hall.

Rolling his optics, he turned around and walked away. "Yes ma'am." he snickered.

Once he finally left the room, she chuckled walking towards Ratchet's lab. "Hey Ratch. Are the others back from recon?" she questioned.

He looked up from his project and shook his head, "No, but Arcee just commed me not too long ago. They will be here soon." She nodded and climbed up the medical berth, sitting down. "How is our stubborn leader? Is he still looking for any suspicious activity." he asked.

She smiled. "No, I finally convinced him to relax."

Ratchet looked shocked for a moment, than rubbed his helm with his fingers. "Thank Primus. Finally, someone has knocked some sense into that mech."

She nodded. "I know, I didn't think that he would actually listen to me."

Ratchet folded his arms. "He cares a great deal for you, Rebecca. If he would listen to anyone, it's you. He wants you to be his sparkmate someday. There is no greater love he can show you than that."

Her lips slowly formed a smile. "And I love him. More than anything else in this world. "

Ratchet nodded. "I know."

They chatted for a little while until the others returned. Becca quietly walked down the hall and peeked inside Optimus' berthroom. She sighed in relief, seeing him deep in recharge. She walked away, smiling at the thought of her love not worrying as much anymore. Because no matter what happens, good will always triumph over evil. 

Hey guys! Sorry this was super duper short, but I promise the next chapter will be longer. Bye! :D
