Optimus Prime x Reader

It's been a few weeks since your unexpected introduction to the Autobots-Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron whose war with the Decepticons has spilled across galaxies... and landed squarely on Earth. Only a handful of humans know they exist. You're now one of them.

Your first encounter was pure chance. Bulkhead, accompanied by his human companion Miko, was out driving when the two of them crossed paths with you, a lone hitchhiker. Miko insisted they stop to offer you a ride. But before introductions could even settle, the trio was ambushed by Decepticon foot soldiers-Vehicons. Bulkhead was forced to transform, revealing his true form mid-battle, while Miko did her best to explain the towering mech defending you.

With the threat escalating, Bulkhead had no choice but to retreat to base-taking both you and Miko with him.

There, Ratchet wasted no time scolding him for bringing another human into their fold. But Miko, ever the firebrand, stood up for you. Then came the moment that changed everything: the arrival of their leader, Optimus Prime. Towering. Composed. Commanding. And kind.

Optimus explained everything-Cybertron, the war, the reason Earth had become a battleground. You listened closely, asking what would happen now. His answer was quiet but firm: now that the Decepticons had seen you, you were in danger. And it was the Autobots' responsibility to protect you.

With a heavy heart and deep sincerity, Optimus offered you shelter within their base-and, perhaps, something you hadn't expected: a new place to belong.
