Transformers Oneshots (M)

Scenarios: Purring (Autobots)

A/n: It's a common notion that all the cybertronians "purr" which makes sense as they are mechanical. So this little idea came to me and this is basically y/n finding out they purr and how both react. (This took me weeks to complete...plz enjoy)

With the exception of Ironhide {Bayverse} and Sideswipe {Bayverse}, this is set in TFP (although they can honestly go either way) And of course we have 2 rescue bots at the end : )

Optimus
I sat perched on Optimus' shoulder plates as he worked away at the monitor. We had been in a relationship for a few months now, feeling an almost immediate connection. Although, that could be because the only reason I was involved was because he ran me over on accident.

I was walking down the road with my earbuds in, blocking out the sounds around me. It was a pretty busy day in Jasper Nevada and I just wanted peace. I had my hood up and head down, music blaring in my ears.

I came up on an intersection and quickly glanced around, not noticing anyone coming so I stepped out. I heard what sounded like a horn blast but waved it off as my music until I felt something slam into me. I went flying to the ground in a heap of pain, groaning and coughing. My earbuds were knocked from my ears and I heard what sounded like metal shifting before a giant, hulking metal humanoid robot entered my vision. Two bright blue orbs, it's eyes, were widened in a frantic manner as it knelt down.

"Ratchet! I need a bridge!" It -he- shouted. My consciousness was starting to fade and I really hoped this was all simply a dream.

I giggled a little recalling the memory. Optimus was so panicked and frantic that he distanced himself for me for a few weeks, ashamed and frightened. I was able to coax him out and let him know it wasn't his fault and that he shouldn't be scared. It took a bit but he finally got over his fear and from there our relationship bloomed.

A slight blue glow cast over me and I looked over to see Optimus sending a curious gaze my way. "Might I inquire what you find amusing?" He asked and I smiled, placing a hand against the side of his helm.

"Just recalling memories." I smiled and he hummed, optics narrowing as if trying to determine what exact memory it was. He vented and returned his gaze back to the monitor, continuing his work. I leaned against the side of his helm and absentmindedly started rubbing behind the circular base of Optimus's audial.

A deep, low rumble emitted within the vicinity as he tilted his helm ever so slightly into my touch. The metal beneath me vibrated as the sound got louder and my eyes widened when I realized what it was. "Are you- you're purring!" I squealed. Optimus froze and tensed, the sound suddenly stopped. His servos hovered midair over the electronic keyboard and I smiled. "That's so cute! I didn't know guys purred."

Optimus shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat. "It is an automatic function that none of us can prevent or stop." He murmured quietly, embarrassed. I cooed and went back to rubbing his helm as his optics lulled closed for a moment and the purring resumed. All the while I had the largest grin on my face.

Ratchet
I smiled as I sat in the passenger of Ratchet's alt mode. We were currently taking a drive around town, needing to get away from base for a bit. We didn't get much alone time as Ratchet was the autobot's only medic and was constantly working on something to help. Whether it just be monitor duty or something in the science department.

But, we found ways to spend time together. Most times I simply sat on his shoulder and made small talk, sometimes just speaking without him answering but I knew he was listening. Other times he'd take the time and teach me things here and there. And even still, once in a blue we'd take a drive.
