Maybe Meant To Be

~Chapter 22~

Y/D hadn't noticed the taller mech come up behind her. She continued her game with the other bots and their charges (Excluding Miko because she's still scheming stuff-).
"Wow, you humans are very good at this game..! We should play this more so I can get better as well..!" Optimus could hear the femme chuckle.
"Well, we can play more when you come over next time then." Said Bulkhead.

Right as Optimus was about to try and grab Y/D's attention, she stood up and started to stretch.
"Speaking of next time, we'll have to continue this on my next visit. I need to get going or else my brother could find out about my little "adventures"."

Optimus stopped himself and started to walk away when Y/D saw him.
"Optimus..!" She quickly ran over to him with a smile. "Hey, haven't been able to talk to you at all..! Where have you been anyways..?"
"Oh I... Had an appointment with Ratchet..."
"Oh? You're feeling alright, right?"
"Of course."
"Ok... Well, I'll see you next time. Bye Optimus!" And with that, the femme gave Optimus a hug and then left through the ground bridge Ratchet had just opened for her.

Optimus' face plates turned a bright blue before he quickly hid his face and left. He went to his berthroom to plan out how he figured the next visit should go.

"Is everyone on their missions?" Optimus asked the old medic.
"Yes yes..." He tried waving the Prime off, wanting to get some of his "work" done.
"... Thank you, Old Friend."
"Don't mention it." Replied the orange and white bot.
"... Is she here yet?"
"Not yet..! ... I haven't seen you this anxious since... Well... Let's just say its been awhile."
Suddenly, through the ground bridge flew a f/c jet, who then transformed, and then crashed into the Prime.

The two fell to the ground, one on top of the other with a loud crash, grunts, and then laughter.
"Hey Optimus~! Miss me?" The familiar femme's voice rang out happily.
"Hello Y/D..! Indeed... It's... Been a little..." Lonely. It's been lonely without you. Say it! A voice in his head seemed to say.

"I know! We haven't been able to spend any time together lately, so Ratchet said he arranged it so we could spend time together~!" Y/D chuckled. "But Uhm... We should probably get up first, y'know?"

Optimus optics slightly widened, now realizing the position they were in. He was on top of Y/D, his servos resting underneath her as he tried to catch themselves before they hit the ground. (He failed though, resulting in them landing in this uh... Awkward position-)

He stood up, then held a servo out to Y/D, helping her up.
"S-Sorry..." He stuttered out, now blushing more out of embarrassment. I just stuttered... And Ratchet's still here. Optimus could see in the corner of his optic, Ratchet smirking and watching he two lovebots.
"It's ok..!" Y/D laughed, still holding Optimus' servo. She then started dragging him to the other room where Ratchet had an area set up for them. The bot placed some games in there, along with a few movies that Miko snuck into the room. (Told you she had some plans- Ratchet wouldn't listen though, so uh... Yeah she snuck in later on-)

The two sat down on a comfy couch in the room, somehow big enough for both Cybertronians. They started playing one of the games, before getting into a conversation.

"So... Ratchet said you weren't feeling so good the other day... Are you doing alright now..?"

Before Optimus could answer though, Bumblebee and Raf came in.

:- Hey! What are you two up to?-:
"Bumblebee and I were wondering if you were busy, Y/D?" Raf asked.
Y/D, not wanting to hurt the young human's feelings, was about to say yes, when Optimus answered for her.
"Sorry you two.... We're busy right now."

"Get out of here you two!" Ratchet suddenly came in, shooing the yellow and black mech out with his charge. "Go out on another drive or something!"

"Hey Y/D! Didn't know you were in here!" Said Jack, Arcee walking in behind him. "You wanna-"
"No." Prime again, interferred.

The two were then pulled out with Ratchet who then ended up putting a sign up that said 'Do not disturb'.

"You're not upset are you?" The shorter femme asked.
"I'm alright..."
"Optimus..."
"You've been with them these past few visits."
"..."
"I just... Would like to enjoy some time with you... Alone." The Prime said, inwardly surprised with his choice of words. "But... I understand if you'd like to be with the others. It was selfish of me to-"

"Optimus..!" Y/D interrupted and then chuckled. "I've wanted to spend time with you as well..!" She gave her signature smile, making the taller mech smile back.
"Are you certain?"
"Mhm~!"

The two spent the rest of Y/D's visit sitting together watching TV and playing games.

Extra:

"I knew they needed this!" A certain medic said happily, watching the two through the cracked open door.
"Well I knew they needed time together!"
"Miko... You wanted Y/D to spend time with only you..."
"I did not!"
"Shut up you two! Keep your voices down or they'll hear you!" Another femme's voice whispered harshly.
"Hey, thought you wanted to go on a drive Arcee?"
"Nah, that can wait."
:- Sooo... Are we supposed to be leaving them alone or...?-:
"I mean... We could probably leave them alone now that we know they're getting along just fine-"
"All thanks to me~!" Miko shouted out.
"Miko, hush..! Now get out of here, all of you!"
"Aw, c'mon Ratchet-"
