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

Everything will be Okay

*Y/n's POV*

It is now New Years Eve. Y/n wasn't feeling up to going to any party to celebrate. She still felt depressed over Dinobot's death. To a sense she did move on, it was just hard for her to process that he won't be in her life anymore. Last week, Cheetor ended up moving in with her. As it turns out, he did it to make sure that she would be emotionally sound and not do anything to rash. She allowed him to  move into the second bedroom, which at one point was Dinobot's room, before they had started dating. Y/n was planning on converting the spare bedroom into a game room and just have Dinobot share her room. But Eric and Rampage had other plans. With Rampage's help, Eric had murdered Dinobot in cold blood. It wasn't until after the funeral that Y/n had learned the truth as to why Eric had murdered Dinobot.

As of now she was in the process of moving all of Dinobot's stuff into storage. Over time she will have the courage to give it away or something, to help herself be able to finish moving on. She was sitting on her bed, looking at some of the pictures on her phone. She comes across a picture of her and Dinobot taken together that Rattrap had taken for them. Y/n starts tearing up. It was taken two days before the Halloween. It was around that time that Dinobot had truly accepted Y/n as a true friend and then two days later only to figure out they are meant to be.

"Dont dwell too much on the past, Y/n. Remember you are trying to move on," said Cheetor as he comes into the room. "I understand how hard it is for you to move on. You don't don't have to finish putting all of Dinobot's things into storage tonight. We can put what's left into boxes and work from there." He sits down next to Y/n. "We all miss him but remember I'm not here to replace him. To a sense you are still bonded to Dinobot. It is possible to rebound, but a second bond won't be as strong as the first." Cheetor hugs Y/n.

"I know you won't replace Dinobot but I am thankful for you being here. Theses past few weeks have been hard on me," said Y/n.

"Like I said, greif is never easy to deal with," said Cheetor. He checks his watch and sees it says eight-thirty PM. "I'm going to head out and get some snacks for the movie marathon. While I am gone, I want to to try to pack up some more stuff, okay?" Cheetor gives Y/n another hug before leaving the room.

*Cheetor's POV*

Cheetor heads outside. The night air was cold, with fresh snow in the air. He pulls out his cellphone and gives Taranchulas a call. It didn't take long for Taranchulas to pick up the call on his end.

"You called sooner than expected. Did something come up?" Taranchulas asks.

"Nonthing much really. Just trying to help Y/n move on by packing up Dinobot's things and putting them in storage. She hit a snag when she stopped to look at pictures on her phone."

"Shs hasn't been doing any risky behavior, has she?"

"Nothing so far, as far as I know. She doesn't drink or cut herself or any other reckless stuff."

"Just making sure."

"So how long is this project going to take that you are working on? The one that you said would help Y/n out?" Cheetor asks as he walks to his car which was parked out front of Y/n's house. "I told you guys I'm not going to be Dinobot's replacement."

"You are not, Cheetor. What I am working will take time and cannot be rushed."

"Good cause I hate seeing her sad. Also any luck finding the girl that got kidnapped by Rampage? She was mentioned in the news again this morning by her parents."

"No such luck. Silverbolt as well as Blackaracnia are looking for her as well as Megatron and I. We don't know where he is hiding. Megatron suspects that Cryotek may know but as of now, Cryotek has been nothing but trouble."

"I know. He's caused us trouble in the past before. Alright I'm going to let you go. Y/n and I are going to have a movie marathon and I promised to get her snacks."

"So she's decided not to come to the party then?"

"No she won't be attending. I don't blame her. Talk to you later." Cheetor hangs up on his end of the phone call. "I know the perfect sweet to cheer up Y/n." Cheetor gets in his car and drives off.

It was about ten o'clock at night by the time Cheetor returns back to Y/n's house. He heads inside and finds Y/n in the guest bedroom, making the bed. "So is everything in boxes then?"

"For the most part. We'll deal with the boxes later. I've brought snacks so we can have something to eat while we watch some movies."

"Cheetor we already have food to eat here at the house." Y/n finishes tucking in the blanket around the bed.

"Not what I had bought," said Cheetor. He pulls out of the grocery bag a tray of candied fruit. "I find candied fruit the perfect pick-me-up for feeling sad. Besides I'm just trying to make you happy. I don't like seeing you sad, Y/n."

Y/n goes over to Cheetor and hugs him. "Thanks, Cheetor. I'm glad you are here to help me though this."

It was ten minutes before midnight, Cheetor and Y/n were in the middle of watching Moana. The had decided to watch their movie marathon in the living room. Y/n had fallen asleep at the part where Moana tells the ocean to take back the Heart of Tafeiti and have someone else return the Heart. Cheetor glances over at Y/n who was asleep on the couch. "Everything will be okay, Y/n. May not seem like it at first but time heals all wounds." Cheetor gets up from his chair and heads upstairs to grab a blanket for Y/n. He comes back downstairs and covers her up. "Just wish Dinobot didn't die. It's not the same without him being here." Cheetor heads back upstairs and goes to bed. His heart heavy with greif over the death of his best friend and guilt over the fact, to a sense, he still had his slight crush over Y/n. But even he knew he would find the one to call his sparkmate one day.
