C | Hot Rod X Human Femme Reader: Love on Halloween

Request by; @Butterflymed

Halloween night is fun for (Y/N) and Hot Rod and a night of confessions.

The second (Y/ N) found out there'd be a Halloween prom, she immediately thought about getting Hot Rod to be her date. Happy the Autobots have holoforms. She decides to try to get all the Autobots to go with her, but she's hoping Hot Rod will be her date.

She tells the Autobots about the dance. They all agree to go. Hot Rod isn't surprised she's trying to get him to go as her date. Even though the two aren't dating. (Y/N) hasn't said anything, but all the Autobots can tell she likes him.
"Really, costumes? Is it really necessary?" Hot Rod sulks.
"It'll be fun."
"Oh no, not that," Hot Rod begs as (Y/N) stares at him with a cute puppy face. He tries to look away but fails, "oh fine, I'll wear a costume."
Hot Rod loves seeing (Y/N) smile as she hugs him. She tells him they'll look for their costumes tomorrow and heads home. Once (Y/N) left, the other Autobots argue with Hot Rod about not telling (Y/N) he loves her. Quickly arguing the fact he's an Autobot isn't a reason to deny his feelings. He's now focused on this to argue why the others aren't getting costumes.

Hot Rod couldn't believe all the costumes he was seeing. He has no idea what most of the costumes are. He could tell (Y/N) was having difficulty picking out the customers.
"The royalty theme will be overdone at prom, but I don't know what else is good," (Y/N) sighs.
Hot Rod tries to help, though he has no idea what he's doing. Eventually, the two find good costumes.

The other Autobots like the costumes (Y/N) and Hot Rod picked. Neither cared that the others didn't get costumes.
"You going to tell her tonight?" Bumblebee whispers.
"I... don't know.."
"Never thought you'd be afraid. We know she likes you. It's not like it's going to end awkwardly. She'll believe you tell her Optimus is ok with the relationship."
Hot Rod sighs, still uncertain about going through with his confession.

As (Y/N) thought, the royalty theme is overdone. Seems at least half of the students are wearing prince and princess costumes. Many are interested in Hot Rod and (YN)'s costumes. Hot Rod follows a few mechs' lead, seeing them dance with their dates. He takes (Y/N)'s hand to get her to dance with him. They look out of place among the prince and princess costumes.

After a nice dance, the two get a drink. Hot Rod decides now is the time.
"Can I talk to you?" He asks.
(Y/N) nods, though she's a little worried about what Hot Rod would want to talk about now at a dance?

The two walk out of the gym into the hallway. It's only private since school is closed and everyone is in the gym.
"What is important to tell me now? (Y/N) asks.
"I ...I love you, (Y/N)
I know we're different species, but—."
Hot Rod is silenced by (Y/N) kissing him.
"I didn't think you'd be afraid to tell me."
"Oh, I'm afraid?" Hot Rod teases, "I know you love me, but I've been waiting for you to tell me."
(Y/N)'s cheeks turn red.
"I ...y-yeah, I was afraid because we're two different species, and you could go home one day. Could be next month or next year."
"We will worry about that when the day comes. Let's enjoy the time together."
After another kiss, the two return to the dance. Everyone had a good time, and the other Autobots knew Hot Rod told (Y/N) how he felt, and she did the same. Now, the two are happy.
