Bumblebee POV

I carefully tapped a cell bar with my digit. The bot didn't look away from the wall and said, "I told you that I'm not telling you what you want to know, Steeljaw, and that's final." I said, "Umm... T-this isn't S-Steeljaw."

The bot quickly looked away from the wall. He stared right into my optics. He was in a sitting position and was leaning against the wall behind him. I nervously played with my digits and looked at the cell door. I couldn't care less if he killed me as long as I get to help him. I then thought 'Why would a bot kill someone if they helped them? It just doesn't make any sense.'

I walked up to the cell door and opened it. I looked at the bot and noticed that he didn't take his optics off of me. I carefully walked in the cell and closed the door. He said, "Why didn't you attack me when the other cons were?" I got spooked when he suddenly spoke. He quickly said, "My apologies, I didn't mean to scare you." I nervously said, "I-it's okay. I-I just get s-scare really easily."

I carefully walked up to him. I said, "I d-don't think that h-hurting b-bots is right un-unless th-they did something b-bad or they are e-evil..." The bot nodded in understanding and I carefully walked closer to him. I examined his wounds and decided that I was going to help him. I heard his baritone voice say, "My name is Optimus Prime. What's your name?"

I was so memorized by his incredible voice that I forgot to answer his question. He said, "Are you well?" I quickly snapped out of my thoughts. I panicked and said, "yesimfinemynameisBumblebee." He tilted his helm and it was absolutely adorable. He said, "What was that? I didn't understand what you said. You spoke too fast." I said, "S-sorry!! P-please don't h-hurt me!!" He was shocked at this and said, "Why would I hurt you for you speaking too fast. You are clearly nervous and simply panicked. There is no reason for any Cybertronian to harm you for that reason." I said, "R-really..." He calmly nodded.

I don't know why, but when he speaks, it's always calm and sweet. Steeljaw had told me that this bot was very evil, but why would an evil bot be so nice? I think Steeljaw has been lying to me since I got here. I don't remember how that happened though.

Optimus asked, "What was your name again?" I cleared my throat and said, "M-my name is B-Bumblebee..." He looked shocked and started tearing up. I quickly said, "W-what's wrong?! D-did I say something w-wrong?! W-why are y-you crying?!" He cleared his throat and shakily said, "I... I had lost a close friend of mine who was taken by the Decepticons. His... His name was Bumblebee..." I got closer to him and wiped his tears away. I said, "W-well... M-maybe I am him... I don't have any m-memories of what happened b-before I woke up h-here..."

He moved his arms and groaned in pain when he did. I said, "P-please don't move. I-I know! I'll go and g-get a m-medical kit. So I c-could treat your w-wounds." He nodded in understanding and I teleported out of the cell. I figured it would have been faster and better to teleport. I teleported to the medical bay.

I grabbed the some medical kits and teleported out before the con medic saw me. I teleported into the cell. I saw a very confused and shocked Autobot. Optimus said, "You can teleport?" I nodded and got on my kneeplates in front of him. I opened one of the medical kits. I started treating his wounds. He asked, "When did you learn how to treat wounds?" I said, "I don't remember... I just kind of know, I guess..."

After a few minutes had pasted, I felt rubbing on my right ear. I asked, "If I am the friend that the cons took, I wasn't always a cat bot... Right? I mean, it would make sense as to why you are rubbing my ear." He looked away and slowly nodded. He appeared upset or worried about something. I finished treating his wounds. I said, "Done! Just... P-please be careful." He said, "Of course, Bumblebee." I smiled a little and said, "I know that this is a really stupid question, but... if I am the Bumblebee that you know... What did I look like before I was caught by the cons?"

He looked back at me and smiled. He smile was so soft and gentle. I blushed slightly as he said, "It isn't a stupid question, Bumblebee." He then pressed a button on his gauntlet and a screen appeared. He tapped on a few icons. A picture appeared on the screen. It was a picture that had a lot of bots in it. There were 3 minicons in the photo. *Author's Note: The photo that Optimus is showing Bumblebee is the picture you see at the top of the chapter.* Optimus said, "Not everyone we know is in this photo. There are 2 humans that know our existence, there is my old friend, Ratchet, and his minicon as well."

I smiled and nodded in understanding. I checked my internal clock and it read 12:30 am. I said, "Oops! It's pasted midnight!" Optimus shifted slightly and I thought 'He must be uncomfortable sitting on the floor.' I looked at the berth and said, "I could help you get to the berth if you want..." He smiled again and said, "That will be very nice, Bumblebee." I nodded and carefully helped him up. I didn't notice until now as to just how tall he is. I blushed some more as I led him to the berth.

I helped him up and yawned loudly. I said, "S-sorry for y-yawning so loudly." He shook his helm and appeared slightly annoyed. He then said, "Bumblebee, you don't have to apologize for every little thing you do." I was about to apologize again, but he put his digit over my denta. He said, "Don't you dare apologize." I blushed really hard and lightly nodded. He removed his digit from my denta and looked at me worriedly. He asked, "Do you have a fever? I'm not sure if Algoranians get fevers or not."

I giggled slightly and said, "No... I don't think so." He tilted his helm, confused. He thought 'Why did Bumblebee giggled? Why was it so cute? It shouldn't have been THAT cute, right?' I was shocked to find out that I could read minds. I said, "Y-you think m-my giggles are cute?" He blushed a dark blue and said, "How did you know that? I didn't say anything. ... Right?" I giggled again and said, "Apparently I could read minds and I didn't know until now."

He pouted a little and I quickly said, "D-don't do that!! That's too cute!!" He tilted his helm and I said as I blushed like crazy, "D-don't do that either!! Both are too cute!!" Optimus looked super confused and I said, "You tilting your helm and pouting is too cute." Optimus smiled a little and said, "This might sound like a very strange request, but... Could you please stay with me. I haven't seen the Bumblebee I know in a few months. I haven't seen him for a month since my team and I had arrived at base again..." I whimpered slightly at his comment and blushed hard. I quickly nodded my helm and he had the biggest smile I had ever seen that I remember.

I carefully crawled onto the berth and laid on his chassis. He quickly drifted into recharge and I put up an electric forcefield around me. The forcefield would keep me from being seen from any of the cons so that they can't separate me from Optimus. I drifted into recharge shortly after I put the forcefield up.
