Maybe Meant To Be

~Chapter 18~

"So it's true then?"

I quickly turned my helm away so Knockout couldn't see my blue faceplates anymore.
"Alright alright..! Keep your voice down will ya?! Yes. Fine. I'll admit it. I've started having... Feelings, for him I guess... But I wasn't going to say anything because... Well, I have a brother y'know?! He'd be so upset if he found out! Then I'd be locked here in the ship more than ever!"

"Hm... Well aren't you glad that you have such a good best friend? I wasn't planning on telling anyone anyways." KO gave me a smirk.

"Don't you mean good best friends?" A voice interrupted and Knockout and I jumped at the voice and we both looked at the other mech.

"Breakdown! You almost gave a spark attack!" I groaned at him, giving him a look.
"Sorry. But what's this about you having a crush~?" Breakdown teased. "And yes, I heard who it was. I mean, almost any other mechs could've too. You guys aren't exactly the quietest whisperers-"

"Ugh... I'm just glad it was you and not anyone else."

~A few days later and with our wonderful con leader and his TIC~

(3rd POV)

"What do you mean they've been getting close?!" The Decepticon leader scowled, watching his TIC's visor show some camera recordings of Y/D and Orion. "Even as his former self, he won't leave my sister alone! Where is Y/D?!"

Soundwave showed a current video of you heading to the med bay, and in a hurry too.

"Hm... With her finally leaving Optimus alone, we can finally get rid of him." Megatron left the room, the silent mech staying where he was at.

~With our favorite con medic~

Y/D was now comforting Knockout. She wanted to hang out with him as much as she could. They had just found out their trio of best friends, was now a duo.

"I'm so sorry Knockout..." Y/D said sadly, lubricant slowly filling her eyes and threatening to spill; she wanted to stay strong for her friend though, so she tried her best not to cry.

"It's... It's fine. I'll be fine... I know it's not your fault."

~~~

"He's not here now." The silver mech slightly growled and continued searching for the mech he absolutely hated. Only to find he had joined Y/D and Knockout earlier in the med bay.

Well I can't deal with him right now... Especially in front of Y/D...

~~~

Later on, the leader was discussing what to do with his SIC and TIC. Y/D ended up hearing their discussion.

"We need to dispose of him before 1. He finds out his real identity. 2. Before Y/D gets too close to him. I don't need anymore problems right now." The mech slightly rubbed the top of his helm.

Y/D quietly gasped to herself.

(Y/D's POV)

No way! They're trying to... Get rid of him?! Should I warn him? But what would happen if he were to leave? Would he forget everything that's happened? Would he forget me? I quickly ran back to my berthroom so no one would catch me listening to the conversation.

Once in the room, I sat on my berth, staring at the metal wall.

What am I supposed to do? I want to tell, but like... At the same time, not exactly. But I don't want Orion dying either... And his friends need him. I ended up in recharge, not thinking about what the next day would bring.

~~~

Their were shots being fired, making the halls echo with loud explosions. I had been locked in my room again, but I was currently trying to get out. I was even watching tutorials on how to unlock different types of doors. But nothing I was doing seemed to work so far.

Until I heard the door unlock and I waited for it to slide open, revealing the cherry red medic.

"Don't tell anyone. ... Now go get him out." KO quickly left, and I wasn't going to follow him. I ran to Optimus' room, only to find he had just fought some different drones and won.

"Y/D? What's going on?" Orion had a confused expression on his faceplates.
"Orion. Your friends are here. I'm so sorry for not telling you sooner, but you don't belong here. And your name isn't Orion Pax anymore. Your name is Optimus Prime."
"A... Prime? But I don't deserve-"
"You do. Now come on. I'll take you to them, but we need to hurry."

I held a servo out to Orion, to which he instantly took a gentle hold of.

I'm doing the right thing. I'm doing the right thing. I'm doing the right thing.

Right?

Ok so, if I have a bit of the show's events mixed up, (which I'm sure I do) sorry. As I might've stated before, I'm not watching the show or reading the comics while writing this fic. I'm going off of memory- *nervous chuckling* But anyways, hope y'all still enjoying! And thanks again to everyone who's reading! Your votes and comments keep me motivated 💜✨ Hope y'all are having a good day/evening!
