Helping a Heart Become Whole (Beast Wars AU Rampage × Fem!Reader)

To the Mall!!

*Y/n's POV*

Y/n wakes up the next morning to a pounding migrane. "What the hell happened?" She slowly gets our of bed, her body was in pain. Y/n was glad for once this morning there were no voices. She grabs a clean change of clothes and heads down the hallway to the bathroom, only to find the bathroom already occupied by Rampage, whom was taking a shower. She pounds on the door. "Don't go wasting all the hot water!" Y/n yells.

"I won't," said Rampage with a laugh.

Y/n heads back to her room and waits for Rampage to finish. With the other bathroom in the house being a half-bath, she had to wait a bit. An hour late, Rampage walks by Y/n's bedroom door with only a towel around his waist. Y/n's face turns beet red.

"Showers ready," said Rampage.

"Really, dude?! Couldn't you just bring a change of clothes into the bathroom with you?!"

"Hey at least this peep show is free." Rampage laughs on his way back to his room.

"I really hate that man." Y/n leaves her room and heads into the bathroom. Just as she pulls off her shirt, the bathroom door flies open. Rampage was on the other side of the door. Y/n kicks the door close out of reflex, stubbing her toe. "Can you not!!"

Rampage laughs at Y/n's reaction at him opening the door. "By the way we need to go shopping. I need more clothes otherwise all I'll have to wear is what I brought here with me."

"Okay then. Leave me in peace you fucking pervert!"

"At least this peep show was free."

Y/n locks the bathroom door. She was pretty frustrated now. She finished undressing and turns on the shower. Y/n waits for the water to heat up before stepping into the shower.

Rampage changes into his clothes he had on the day before. Now he just had to wait until Y/n was done with her shower. He laughs as he recalls the scent of Y/n's frustration. Lemon with a twist of lime rimmed with margarita salt. Not his favorite smell but he'd rather smell her anger again. When he hears the shower shut off, Rampage decides to wait outside the bathroom door to scare her. It was true fear but hey it was fun to startle the poor kid.

Y/n opens the bathroom door and ends up getting freaked out by Rampage. She literally almost walked right into him. At least she was dressed this time.

*Rampage's POV*

"Ready to head out, kid?" Rampage asks.

"My name is not kid. It's Y/n," said Y/n.

"Yeah whatever, squirt."

"Don't call me short!"

"Compared to me you are. You only come up to my chest," teases Rampage. He looks down at Y/n as she tries to look angry at him. She looked kinda cute but cute wouldn't cut it with him. "Now I suggest we leave now or we can spend the time we need to shop while doing...other things."

Y/n shoves her way past Rampage and heads to her room. She grabs her keys for the Jeep and heads downstairs, checking her bank account to make sure she had enough money for what was needed, which she did. Another fifteen minutes, Y/n and Rampage were headed to the mall to buy the clothes needed. She drums her hands to the beat of Dancing with a Wolf by All Time Low. Y/n had let Rampage pick the song so that way he wouldn't be as bored. "Write a list of what you need. We will get your clothes at the mall and this afternoon we will head to the store for groceries."

"Speaking of which, I did notice your cupboards were pretty bare. You hardly had anything in there besides cereal, Ramen, and canned fruit. In the fridge all you had was milk and eggs," said Rampage.

"Yeah well when you can't keep hardly anything down because of the energon slowly seeping into your system, you'd have a hard time keeping food down too."

"I'm surprised you didn't starve to death." Rampage laughs and turns his attention back onto the road. He still found it weird he was living with this human but it was something he had to get used to. "So are there any rules you want me to follow since it living with you?"

"Rule one: No smoking. No cigarettes or weed or anything of that matter. That included any and all drugs. Rule two: No bringing random people over. Meaning you are not allowed to bring over random girls. And rule three: No drugs. Last thing I need is Silverbolt to come knocking at my door."

"Oh come on. You're no fun!! I gotta find my soul mate. I gotta have some kind of fun."

"I do not want my house to be destroyed thank you very much. Rule four: You will be expected to get a job. I don't exactly have unlimited income so you'll need to pay rent and the bills. Rule five: Any mess you make, you will clean it up. Rule six: No wild parties."

"But wild parties are the best! All those pent up emotions being released and..."  Rampage looks over at Y/n sees she's giving him a sideways 'Don't you fucking dare' kinda look. "Okay fine. No wild parties."

*Y/n's POV*

After a few minutes, Y/n pulls her Jeep into the mall parking lot, taking a few minutes to find a spot. She grabs a jacket as she gets out of the Jeep to hide her arm. She was a bit insecure about people seeing it. Also she grabs a thing to make it so your wallet is close to your body to make it so no one steals it and straps it on herself. Y/n puts her jacket it on. "Let's get this over with."

"What's with the jacket?" Rampage asks as he gets out of the Jeep.

Y/n locks the Jeeps doors. "Even though Paradise Falls is a good place to live, there are still people who are racist to Cybertronions. Even though I am not one by choice, people can get pretty nasty to the ones they perceive to be different. Normally Tarn is the one who tags along when I go shopping to make it so I don't get harrassed."

"Well looks like I've got to play the part of the gentleman. I'm not going to do it to be nice. A lot of us hate it when people are racist arseholes." Rampage catches up to Y/n as she walks to the main doors of the mall. "Besides if I have to, I can always scare someone."

"You scary? You don't seem scary."

"You just haven't seen me try." Rampage ruffles Y/n's hair. "You're cute kid. I think you're kinda growing on me."

Y/n face turns a bit red. She didn't like being called cute by Rampage.

*The picture at the beginning of the chapter is how I see that Rampage looks, without the makeup or the pointed ears. Yes I know it's the same picture I used to show what fae makeup Megatron wore for his wedding in To Tame a Heart of Fire but this picture stuck to me as to what Rampage looks like. So yes if anyone asks he is a bit of a playboy since his spark feeds of emotions, what's better way than to play with someone's emotions*
