Maybe Meant To Be

~Chapter 23~

(3rd POV)

Y/D and Optimus had been playing the game Ratchet set up for the two together, when they soon decided to end the game and start the movie that Miko had "donated" to the occasion.

"I suppose we can just watch this then, huh?" Y/D asked the Prime, to which he responded with a gentle hum.

Slipping the CD into the DVD player, (lol that sounds almost old to say 😂) Y/D sat back down on the couch, slowly scooching closer to Optimus. Soon, their closer position, had Optimus wrapping his metal arm around the smaller femme's frame. And soon enough, the two fell asleep together.

Miko had come up to the door and peeked to see if the two had watched the movie yet, only to see the two bots asleep on the couch.
"Oh-ho-ho! I've gotta get a pic of this!" Taking out her pink flip-phone, she went to snap a pic, when two digits carefully took the device out of her hands.
"Miko... It's time for you to go home. And you shouldn't take pictures of the two without their permission."
"Aw Bulk..! Just one quick teensy-tiny picture! Pleaseeeee?"
Sighing, the olive-green mech reluctantly handed the phone over to his charge.
"Fine... Quickly, because I need to get you home."

Smiling wide, the girl took the picture but accidentally had flash on, resulting in Y/D starting to stir awake. (Idek if those phones have flash- But for the sake of the story-)

(Y/D's POV)

I heard a tiny click, which then resulted in a bright flashing of a light.
"Hm?" I moved a little bit, but realized I was a bit anchored down with Optimus' arm wrapped around my frame. Wait... Optimus' arm... Is wrapped around me. Around me. Oh my Primus!!! I felt my face heating up a little, before quickly snapping out of it and hearing people talk behind the door.
"Miko..!"
"I didn't know it was on!"
"Let's just pretend we did nothing, and get out of here!"
"... Yeah OK-"

I could then hear shifting of metal, a door opening, and then slamming shut, telling me that the two were preparing to leave. Then lastly, the sound of a car driving away and out of the base.

"..." I looked back over to Optimus who assumed his position of sleep. I couldn't help but think how peaceful, sweet, and well... Handsome, he looked. He suddenly started moving a little, but instead of waking up, he only pulled me closer to himself, then soon enough had his faceplates snuggled into the crook of my neck.

"Oh. My. Primus." Internally screaming, I continued watching him, before smiling and pressing a small kiss to the side of his helm. "Sleep well Optimus..."

(Optimus POV)

My heart was racing as I pulled Y/D closer to myself, worried how she would react. What if she doesn't feel the same? But to my surprise and relief, Y/D didn't seem to mind. I opened my optics slightly, to see her smiling. I was surprised she didn't notice I was awake, but what she did next surprised me more.

I felt her press her dermas to the side of my helm, giving me a small kiss.
"Sleep well Optimus..."

It took much within me to stay quiet and not smile, not wanting to reveal my very-much-awake self. We continued to stay in this position until I heard the soft and slow breathing of Y/D telling me she went to sleep. I chuckled and opened my eyes, looking down at the sweet face of my femme.

Hm... My femme... I like how that sounds...

I then repeated an action much like hers: I gently pressed my dermas to her helm, then closed my eyes, letting myself fall asleep again to get some much needed rest.

Extra: I've done such a good job getting them together! Ratchet gave himself a proud smile, looking through the half cracked door.
"Ratchet?"
"Agh-!! ... I mean... What do you need Jack? Isn't Arcee supposed to take you home?"
"Ratchet." Another voice sounded, making the older medic turn to see Arcee. "Supposed to leave them alone. Remember?"
"Well, yes! That's precisely what I'm doing! I just needed to make sure the door was fully closed!"

*Moment of silence*

"Will you two just get out of here?!"

Alrighty! Another chapter done! Hope you enjoyed this one, and fear not! More are coming! But I've been busy lately with schoolwork. I also sometimes don't know how to write the chapter, so I literally have to have both motivation and inspiration to start a new one- 😭 I want to make sure I can go with the TFP storyline as best I can (considering I'm mostlh going off of memory). Anyways! Hope y'all liked this! Have a good day/night to anyone reading this smallish rant of mine.
