Transformers Prime: Into the future

    "Ratchet why are you up here?" Optimus asked his medic as he climbed up on to the roof of their base. He had been looking for his medic all afternoon and he could not locate him. He wondered if Ratchet had needed some alone time from all the work he had been doing? So Optimus was about to head back down just as Ratchet grabbed his hand.
   "No!". He shouted. Optimus looked taken a back. It was very rare for Ratchet to raise his voice at Optimus. Ratchet noticed that he had scared him and let go of Optimus hand. "Stay. Please". He blushed. Optimus smiled and nodded his helm. He then followed Ratchet to the end of the roof. They both say down and let their feet over hang on the large rock formation.
   "Optimus?" The medic asked twirling his fingers. Optimus smiled. It was the little things that Ratchet did that made him love him even more. From the way he twirled his fingers to the way he blushed when he was embarrassed. He loved it all and he would not change a thing.
   "Yes old friend?"
   "Well.." He hesitated for a moment and looked away from the autobot leader. "Well why did you chose me? I mean there are plenty of other bots out there that are more-"
Optimus reached for his lovers hands. "Do you regret that I chose you?"
   "No no...never Optimus!". Ratchet  started waving his arms in the air.
    "Are you then unhappy being with me? Optimus questioned his medic with his eyebrow pointed up as if was about to cry. Ratchet sighed. He then brought his hand up and laid it on Optimus shoulder.
  "No of course not Optimus, but I'm just confused! Why chose me over all the other great autobots?!"
  "Ratchet-". Optimus whispered.
  "You could have had Ultra Magnus! He's a great solider and an even better companion. Then there's Sential Prime! You two had a good friendship". Ratchet shouted. He was upset and Optimus wished he could do something to easy that unhappiness.
   "Old friend I chose you because you came to my aid before anyone else did. You proved to me that you would be a valuable ally in this war and an even greater friend". Optimus replied. Ratchet looked up from his knees and smiled ever so slightly.
   "I did?" Ratchet questioned what Optimus had said.
   "You did. When I had just been granted the wisdom of the Prime's before me I did not know how I was going to do. I had never been a leader before all this. I was merely a data clerk".
      "On my first mission". He continued. "I had injured myself. I needed medical attention and you were the first one to hear my mission and respond right a way. You showed that you were very loyal to your duty and responsibility".
Ratchet turned his head away. "You were our new Prime! What was I supposed to do? Leave you behind to die?" He brushed it off as if it was nothing. But in Optimus optics it was something.
   "Red Alert told me that you were working on a very important log before you revived my call. You could have handed it off to him instead, but you didn't. Why?"
Ratchets blushing face deepened. "Well for one thing Red Alert can't be trusted to fix a servo let alone patch up a whole bot!"
   "Ratchet". Optimus grinned.
   "What?" He grumbled back.
   "Did your feelings for me start that day all those eons ago instead of a few months ago?" Optimus questioned his medic. Ratchet turned to face Optimus and slowly nodded his head.
   "At first it was merely a crush. I was so flattered every time you complimented. You made me feel special so I kinda fell for you as Miko says". He finally admitted.
   "Why did you not tell me Ratchet?"
Ratchet let out s sigh. "I figured it was just an attraction that would go away and it did as the war went on. All of us were so busy with trying to stop Megatron that my feelings became pushed away and I forgot about them. Besides you had just been granted the title of Prime. You had so much else to deal with that I didn't want to bother you". He replied. Optimus sighed and put his hands over Ratchets.
    "Ratchet you could never be a bother to me. May I ask, when did your feelings for me resurface?"
    "After taking that batch of horrible energon and becoming wreck less. I said such awful things to you and you were so upset by it. Inside it was hurting me to see you so disappointed. That's when I realized that I still had feelings for you". Ratchet answered him.
   "Look Optimus I know we've been through a lot and I think in my spark that that makes us stronger".
Optimus grinned. "I couldn't agree more old friend". Optimus lifted his arm up into the air and put it around his medic. Then they sat and talked long until the sun had set.

Sorry that it took so long for me to get this story updated. I've been doing quite a bit of college prep and work study stuff. Since I start college on Wednesday. So I'm not sure when the next part will be up. Sorry in advance.
