Transformers Prime: Optimus Prime X Ratchet (One Shots)

New Years

   "What's with all this noise?" The angry medic grumbled as he walked into the main area of their base. "I can't get any proper work done!". Ratchet glanced down at the three humans and raised an eyebrow at them. All three of them were crowded around the old beat up TV while gold hats sat on top of their heads.
    "What are you three wearing?" Ratchet asked them as Optimus joined them over from the ground bridge controls.
   "There party hats". Raf explained with a large smile across his face. Miko strode up as Raf adjusted his large square glasses.
   "What for?" Ratchet questioned the smaller boy. Miko pointed to what was on the tv screen. Ratchet was still confused.
   "Your wearing them to celebrate a large crowd of people?" Ratchet said. Miko rolled her eyes at the confused doctor. Raf only let out a small laugh.
   "No!" She snapped at him. "Were wearing them to celebrate what there celebrating". Ratchet glanced up at the autobot leader. He was just as confused as Optimus was.
   "What Miko means is we're celebrating New Year's Eve. Everyone does it". Jack translated for them. Miko nodded her head in agreement and so did Raf.
   "Hmm another insufficient human holiday". Ratchet muttered under his breath.
   "What is this one all about?"
Miko smiled. "Most humans usually stay up until midnight and watch the ball drop in New York City. Some couples will kiss once the clock strikes 12 and then the new year begins!" She beamed with excitement. Ratchet turned a light shade of pink as Optimus flashed a quick smile at him and then glanced over at the clock in the wall of the base. It was quite past time for the children to be going home.
   "It's quite late". Optimus began. "You three should be going home before your parents get worried". All three of the children sighed, but nodded their heads as Optimus opened up the ground bridge.
    "Humans have such strange holidays". Ratchet huffed as the bridge closed behind the three children. Optimus looked over at his medic and smiled.
   "Ratchet our holidays to them would sound just as strange as there's to do us. Each culture celebrates different ideas based on how they grew". Optimus stated as he placed a hand on his medics shoulder. Ratchet crossed his arms over his chest.
   "Even still. A species that celebrates a jolly old bearded man who sneaks into your house and leaves you unknown gifts sounds disturbing". Ratchet replied making Optimus chuckle.
   "I will not argue with you there old friend". He replied with a smile.
   "However something about the whole idea of welcoming the new year fascinates me". The medic stated.
   "What is it?" Optimus asked.
   "How the welcome it with open arms". Ratchet replied. "There not afraid of what's to come or what could happen! There not worried about the up coming dangers and or how there going to survive! They worry nothing about it and it's strange". Optimus sighed and wrapped an arm around his confused medic.
   "Ratchet each species lives a different life from what we live and the humans are no different". Optimus reminded him. "As Agent Fowler had once, humans try to focus on the positives of life and they do not worry so much about the negatives because there is little that you can do to change it".
Ratchet sighed. "Your right Optimus. It's just that we're on a constant worry system about when Megatron is going to attack us".
   "I know old friend, but with this new coming year we should all try to focus on the positive things about our existence". Optimus stated smiling. Ratchet let a smile come across his face too as the autobot leader reached for his medics hand.
   "Like what?" Ratchet replied.
   "You and me my old friend. Our bond together is strong and I know that my love for you is boundless as the starts above". Optimus replied. Ratchet felt his cheeks flush as he looked up at his lover. They had been through so much in the past few months that had made their relationship stronger and Ratchet hoped that that would never change.
   "Optimus my love for you is just as strong. You really bring the best out in me". The autobot medic said with a grin.
   "As do you do with me". He said leaning in. Ratchet mirrored his action.
   "I promise in the coming year to treasure your company even more Ratchet". Optimus promised making Ratchet blush even harder. Which he thought wasn't even possible, but he was now realizing that it was.
   "And I promise to control my angry and to be less embarrassed about our public affections". Ratchet replied as Optimus laid his head cream against his medics.
   "To new beginnings then". Optimus smiled. Ratchet closed his optics.
    "To new beginnings". He replied. Then just as their lips brushed up against each other the clock on the wall struck midnight.
   "Happy new year Optimus". Ratchet replied with his lips so close to his lovers.
   "Happy year new Ratchet". Optimus said locking his lips with his lovers.
