What was the Prime doing to me? I'd never felt so

What was the Prime doing to me? I'd never felt so...warm and happy inside before.
Optimus' presence was comforting, his large servos warmly encasing mine despite my claws was comforting, the feel of his fore-helm against mine was...undescribable.
I felt like...hugging the Prime, slapping him, screaming and running away, and staying and just...kissing Optimus all at the exact same time.
Optimus' breath lightly touched my face-plates, bringing me out of my tangle of emotions to realize just how close we were.
But I didn't pull away or push Optimus back. I liked this feeling. Optimus made me feel safe.
"Chardirakii," he breathed, his optics half-closed as he slowly leaned closer.
My dermas parted slightly and my own optics closed.
Then I realized what we were getting into and instinctively jerked my helm backwards.
Optimus looked at me in confusion, at my wide optics and flushed face-plates.
I pulled my servos from his and covered my rapidly darkening face-plates with them.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I cried, not knowing what exactly I was sorry for.
"Chardirakii, you've done nothing wrong," Optimus began, but I interrupted him.
"We don't belong together! I've killed too many, punished too many of those undeserving," I cried, turning my body away from Optimus,"I am the Goddess of Death. Nobody can love Death."
"That's not true, Chardirakii," Optimus said softly, reaching out and touching my shoulder-plate.
I flinched away, regretting everything I was currently doing.
"Chardirakii..." Optimus said, his optics filling with hurt.
"I-I'm sorry, Optimus," I said, standing up and hugging myself,"I just...can't be with you. It would destroy you."
Optimus also stood up and took a step closer to me, but no farther than that.
"Chardirakii, you misunderstand," he said,"I am much stronger than I look."
I just looked at the ground and rubbed my arms.
"Agent Fowler is having a formal party in two days," Optimus said after a long silence,"If you like you may join me."
"Did you not hear a word I just said?!" I shouted, throwing my servos in the air in experation.
Optimus was in front of me in two strides and holding my arms tightly.
"Chardirakii, please," he said, staring into my optics,"I beg of you. I can explain more there than here."
Those blue optics of his were just so slagging beautiful!
Hesitantly, I nodded,"O-okay...I'll...go with you."
Optimus smiled slightly and brushed some hair out of my face-plates,"I look forward to it."
His digits lightly brushed my cheek, sending fire through my veins and my spark skipped a beat.
Optimus seemed to realize he was still holding me and stepped away, a light blush coloring his handsome facial features.
Turning away from me Optimus tried his comm, and from the one-sided conversation he seemed to be having, I assumed it worked.
I walked over to where Archanature had thrown my helm-armor and picked it up, but didn't put it on.
I didn't realize Optimus was right behind me until he spoke.
"Do you need a ground-bridge?"
I jumped a little, then shook my helm,"I think I have enough strength to open a dimensional portal again."
"If you are certain," Optimus said.
I turned to face him,"You needn't worry about me, Prime. Archanature I am certain will not be pursuing us for several days. Not after what you did to him."
Optimus made a sound of what could have been a soft chuckle.
Then he took my uninjured servo and brought it to his intake, lightly pressing his dermas to the back of it.
"Until we meet again, Goddess," he said as a ground-bridge opened.
I blushed, but nodded back at him.
Optimus let go of my servo and walked back through the ground-bridge, the glowing portal closing behind him, leaving me all alone in the cave.
I held my servo, the one he had kissed...and for the first time in my life, a girlish smile spread across my face-plates.
I slashed open a dimensional portal and stepped through into the outskirts of a city.
If this was to be a formal party, I may as well find something appropriate for it.
A car drove by me, hidden in the trees and I scanned it before transforming into a black and pink Lamborghini with greenish-blue lights and wheels.
I drove into the city and deployed a holoform.
My holoform was a girl with lightly-tanned skin, long black hair that had been dyed magenta at the ends and a magenta streak shooting down the right side of her face. Her eyes were blue, but tinted with violet. She wore a simple magenta tank-top covered by an open leather jacket with greenish-blue stitching and skinny black jeans with magenta stripes near the bottom and embroidered green and blue flowers near the top with a wide belt.
I parked in front of a clothing store and my holoform climbed out.
I'd obtained some human money from my holoform, so I knew I was all set.
As I browsed the clothing store, searching for not really anything in particular save a formal dress, a clerk lady approached me. An elderly human female with twinkling blue eyes and short, white curly hair.
"Can I help you with anything, miss?" she asked.
"Er yes, actually," I replied,"I'm looking for a formal dress, perhaps in black? I'm going to a party in a couple of days and I just want to be ready."
"Ah, I know just the thing," the lady replied,"Follow me."
"Thank you," I smiled and followed her to the back of the store.
The lady went to a rack of dresses and skimmed her wrinkled hands over them, until she seemed to find what she was looking for and pulled it out.
"Will this do?" she asked,"I looked at your taste in colors and thought perhaps you would like a dress to match."
I ran my hands over the smooth fabric and smiled,"It's perfect, thank you so much, ma'am."
"Would you like to try it on? We've got a good selection of sizes if this one doesn't fit," the lady offered.
"Really? That would be wonderful," I said, hooking the dress over one arm and following the kind woman to the fitting rooms.
"Here you go," she said,"And if you don't mind coming out with it on afterwards, I'd like to see how it suits you."
"Thank you," I said again and entered the small changing room.
When I reappeared a few moments later wearing the dress, the lady nodded.
"Very pretty, turn around for me."
I did a full turn and the lady nodded again with a smile.
"Absolutely gorgeous, miss," she told me when I had changed out of it,"You'll turn every head at that party."
I blushed slightly as I paid for the dress.
Hopefully I'd turn the right head.
