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

Meeting the Family

*Dinobot's POV*

Dinobot couldn't help but be nervous. He was finally meeting Y/n's family. But he wasn't as nervous as he was earlier. He watches Y/n unpack their things in her old room. Which was pretty bare when she cleaned everything out when she had moved out. The room was pretty spacious, large enough to almost fit a queen sized bed with enough room for a dresser. Dinobot helps Y/n put their change of clothes away in the closet. "So what's your old room used for now?" Dinobot asks.

"The guest room. But according to mom, no one has rented it out since I moved out a few months back," said Y/n. She turns to look Dinobot dead in the eye. "I'm going to warn you about my mom and dad. Since the whole thing with my ex, they both have been making sure that whoever wants to date me or anything, make sure that person treats me right."

"So remind me again how long has it been since you've gone out with anyone? Sorry if it has opened old wounds."

"About a year or so." She reaches up to the top shelf of the closet, a look of confusion appearing on her face. "I feel something fluffy. Can you grab it?"

"You sure it's not the cat your parents have?"

"No it's not the cat. That I know for sure."

Dinobot reaches up and grabs whatever was on the shelf. When he pulls it down, a look of pure shock appears on his face. What he had in his hand was a handmade taranchula plush, made with faux fur and patches of fabric.

Y/n doubles over laughing, having a hard time breathing from laughing too hard.

Dinobot tossed the plush onto the bed. "Thanks for the warning. Almost gave me a heart attack!"

Y/n wipes the tears from her eyes from laughing too hard. "Sorry about that. Couldn't help myself. But sorry for scaring you like that. All I felt was something fluffy. Also why did you assume it was the cat?"

Dinobot shrugs his shoulders. "Just a guess. Now what's with that thing?" Dinobot asks, while gesturing to the spider plush on the bed.

"You mean Mr. Patches? I made him when I was eight years old with my mom's help." Y/n finishes unpacking their belongings. "I'm going to go check on my brother and see how he's doing. I'll meet you downstairs."

"I'll see you a bit then," said Dinobot before he leaves the room.

*Y/n's POV*

Y/n leaves her bedroom and goes to see her brother. She wanted to hear his side of the story as to what happened. She knocks on his bedroom door before going in. She smiles when she sees her brother, for the most part, is alright. "So mind telling me what happened? Why you got into a car accident? As far back as I recall, you've always been a careful driver."

"I don't really remember much," said Nick, Y/n's brother. His long blond hair was disheveled. He had a few bruises on his face and his entire right arm was bandaged up. "I remember leaving for work, like I normally do. You know that intersection whith the slight blind spot because of that one low to the ground billboard?"

"Yeah I remember." Y/n sits down in the chair next to her brothers bed.

"This may sound crazy but I think the person who crashed into me, was using the billboard as cover. Someone was out to get me I think." Max points to the pill bottle on his nightstand. "Mind helping me out with that? Kinda hard being right hand dominant when you have little mobility because your arm is bandaged up."

Y/n opens the pill bottle and hands her brother two pain pills and the glass of water that was sitting on his nightstand. "What do you mean someone was out to get you?"

"The cops got involved big time and asked nearly every person who was there at the accident, about what they had seen. A majority of them said they had seen the car come out from behind the billboard. At least two people claim they had seen the car waiting there. Also get this, there is this new officer working on the case. He kinda reminds me of a wolf because of how he looks."

For the rest of the time, until dinner is ready, Y/n interrogated her brother about what happened that day. Main thing he told her is he couldn't remember much. He told her he had ended up getting a concussion from the accident. When dinner was ready, Y/n helps her brother downstairs to the kitchen. Y/n was worried about her dad scaring Dinobot. "I see you didn't scare Dinobot away, dad," said Y/n as she helps her brother sit down at his spot at the kitchen table.

"Not really. Found out plenty of information about your dad. You didn't tell me he used to serve in the army," said Dinobot.

"I don't really like telling people about that," said Y/n as she sits down next to Dinobot.

Spread out on the table was a small feast. Oven roasted chicken stuffed with homemade stuffing, made with rosemary and thyme. Hand-made mashed potatoes garnished with chives fresh from the garden. Dinner rolls made by hand, brushed with a butter and sugar glaze. And for dessert, apple dumplings with cinnamon ice cream. Dinner was quiet at first but Nick eventually broke the silence with a few bad cat jokes, which nearly caused Y/n to choke on a bite of chicken. After all the food was eaten and the apple dumplings were eaten, Edward was the next to break the silence.

"Icebird came by to visit earlier this afternoon. He wanted to see you for some reason. Said it was urgent," said Edward.

"Who's Icebird?" Dinobot asks.

"Long story. He's the reason why I wasn't fazed when I seen you in your robot form, Dinobot," said Y/n.

"So are you like Icebird, Dinobot?" Nick asks.

"Might as well show you then," said Dinobot. He gets out of his chair and pushed it in. He steps away from the table. A ripple effect appears across his skin, eventually revealing his robot mode. He looks at Nick's, Edward's, and Hellen's reactions. To his surprise, they were not even scared, just taken by surprised.

"So you aren't stuck like Icebird is," said Hellen, Y/n's mom.

Dinobot shakes his head and turns back to his human form. "What do you mean stuck?"

"Megatron created a virus that caused Icebird to have two beast modes and no robot mode," said Y/n. She looks back towards Dinobot. "If you are wondering how I know, Icebird told me."

"Looks like we'll have to pay Icebird a visit," said Dinobot.

Y/n was starting to worry. Even though she hadn't talked to Icebird in a long time, she had a bad feeling it was nothing too serious. "I'll go check in on him," said Y/n as she leaves the kitchen.
