Melting a Heart of Ice (Beast Wars Dinobot AU x Female Reader)

Road Trip (Part 3)

*Dinobot's POV*

Dinobot let's Y/n sleep. She's still dealing with the emotional turmoil caused by her ex. He vowed no matter what, if he ever meets the guy, Dinobot will give him what for. He looks down at Y/n's sleeping form and decided that two hours of rest should be adequate enough for her. But having her next to him, the way she was, Dinobot felt at ease. Their spark bond was there, just not fully bonded yet. He could kinda hear her heart beat and could tell by the steady rythm of each beat, she was at ease. He still never really fully understood nightmares or night terrors. He planned on asking Y/n the next chance he got. Dinobot eventually starts getting tired himself and decides to take a quick nap himself. What he didn't tell Y/n when she got up this morning and left their motel room, he was already awake. He just wanted to make sure that she was alright. Dinobot gets off of the bed and tucks Y/n under the blanket before laying back down on the floor. He was still going to abide to Y/n's wishes of not sharing the bed with her.

About three hours later, Dinobot wakes up. He checks the clock and it read eight-fifteen am. He gets up off the floor and stretches before waking Y/n up. "Come on, kid. Time to wake up." Dinobot shakes Y/n's shoulder.

"Five more minutes," mumbles Y/n before she pulls the blanket over her head.

"I let you sleep. We need to head out some can make it to your parent's home on time."

*Y/n's POV*

It takes a few minutes but eventually Y/n does get out of bed. She gets together her clothes to wear for the day and goes into the bathroom to change.

"So what time do you think we will get to your parent's house?" Dinobot asks.

"I'm hoping by tomorrow night," said Y/n as she struggles a bit to pull a t-shirt over her head. "Make sure we don't leave anything beind." She finishes getting dressed and leaves the bathroom. She helps Dinobot pack up their stuff before they leave. Y/n still felt tired though. It didnt matter how much sleep she had gotten, she still felt tired. Night terrors were the worst.

By eight-forty, Y/n and Dinobot were back out on the road. They would have been out by eight-thirty but Y/n had to check the map in order to make sure they were going the right way. As soon as they were on the road, Y/n fights against sleep. She was still tired.

"How about we play a game to help keep you awake," suggests Dinobot. "Your supposed to be my copilot and make sure I am going the right way." He teases.

Y/n laughs a little. "We could play I Spy but we cant afford to distract you."

"We could play Name that Tune. That game shouldn't take my attention off of the road."

*time skip by a few hours of playing Name that Tune*

Y/n keeps an eye on the road signs, looking for any place to eat. "Theres a truck stop coming up that has a dinner at the next coming exit. Take the exit. I need to eat."

Dinobot laughs. "Hungry again are we?" He teases.

Y/n blushes slightly. "Yes I am. After we eat we will head out again. Let's try not to make anymore stops until we get to my parent's house. I at least want to get there at a reasonable amount of time."

"What's reasonable amount of time for us? We are both night owls at times, staying up late either doing a boss raid on ARK or watching whatever movies you want to watch at your place."

"Why don't you ever pick a movie to watch?"

Dinobot shrugs his shoulders. "I am fine with whatever you want to watch. Besides I like seeing you happy. That's enough for me."

After about another ten minutes of watching signs pass by, Y/n and Dinobot finally make it to the truck stop. While waiting for their food, Dinobot tries to teach Y/n some more Cybertronion. Once again with her complaining that it's just as hard to learn as learning Latin.

At this point, was starting to get bored waiting for their food. She opted to get a steak with a side of mashed potatoes with onions and chives while Dinobot settled to getting chicken and waffles. He decided to try them after hearing Y/n bragging about how good the food was at the diner.

*Dinobot's POV*

Dinobot was too busy listening to one of the stories that Y/n was telling about her and her brother jumping off of the roof of the house when they were kids after a bad snow storm, when he failed to notice two young men approaching their table. By the time they were at their table, he catches an all too familiar scent. One thought comes to mind...Protect.What.Is.Mine!

Y/n looks up from her food and smiles politely at the two young men. "Hey guys, what's up?"

"So what brings a pretty girl like you to our neck of the woods?" One of the young men ask.

"Going to be visiting my brother who is in the hospital."

"Mind if we join you?" Asks the other.

It was at that point, Dinobot decided to intervein. "I'd suggest you both better leave," growls Dinobot.

"We just want to have a bite with this pretty young thing." One of the young men sits down next to Y/n.

Dinobot sees Y/n shudder with discomfort. It was noticable enough to him, but to the two ungrateful brats. He could tell she was getting uncomfortable near the guy. He didn't want either one of them touching her, let alone even trying to kiss her. He was about to give them what for when sees the guy who sat down next to Y/n, showing discomfort on his face.

Y/n had stomped down the guys foot...hard. "I'd suggest you two better leave." She shoves the guy out of the seat and he ends up falling onto the floor.

"What the hell?!" The looks up in pure disbelief at Y/n.

"Not interested in either one of you. Plus I have a boyfriend." Y/n gets up out of the chair, heads to the counter, and pays for hers and Dinobot's food. Afterwards she heads out the door.

"Let's get her!" The one guy helps his friend off of the floor. They were about to follow Y/n out the door when Dinobot puts a hand on their shoulders.

Dinobot had one guy in his left, the other one one his right. He had a firm hard grip on their shoulders. "Only going to say this once. Stay the hell away from what mine if you know what's good for you." Dinobot calmly tells them, venom dripping from his voice. He lets go of them and heads outside, letting his threat settle in. He smirks knowing he scared him. He gets to the truck and sees that Y/n was already waiting for him in the passenger seat.

*time skip to later that night by several hours*

Dinobot finds a hotel for them to stay in for the night. He pays for the room even though he wasn't happy about it. Once again they were stuck sharing a room with one bed. It annoyed him but he knew to keep things in check. After bring in  their luggage for the night, he finds Y/n already passed out on the bed. Wasn't surprised that she was tired. They spent this part of the trip talking about what it was like grown up with their families, even though Dinobot opted just to tell Y/n about Cybertron. He didn't want to tell her about his carrier and sire just yet. He wakes up Y/n just long enough for her to change into her pajamas before letting her fall back asleep again.

Dinobot knew she was too tired to complain about them sharing a bed. It was something they had to get used too, even if they hadn't had sex yet. He lays down next to her, listening to her steady breathing. Once again he was hoping that Rattrap would come up with a solution soon so they could somewhat do a spark bond between them without any dangerous repercussions, after all she was only human, before he regreated his actions. The desire was still there to claim her as his own. But Dinobot knew good things come to those who wait.
