Guardians And Primes (TFP Optimus x Mech!Reader)

A/N: This chapter is heavily inspired by the song above

I awoke to the feeling of movement from under me, my optics slowly opening and looking up to a very peaceful looking Prime. His optics were half lidded, and he had an adorable look on his face that made my spark skip a beat.

"Morning." He said, his baritone voice extremely husky. I felt my faceplate heat up and turn blue.

"Morning." I said shyly. Optimus then sat up and stretched before getting all the way up. I couldn't help but admire his build, my optics wandering his strong frame. Optimus must have noticed because he looked back at me with a curious expression. I snapped out of my trance and looked away, concealing my panicked embarrassment as best as I could. I then stood and was going to leave when I felt Optimus's gaze do the same thing to me. I looked back at him, and he just gave me a small smile in response.

'Stop being so Primus forsaken cute.' I thought to myself as I left and went to my usual meditation corner. As I was trying to focus, my mind kept wandering back to the Prime. His gentle face, his adorable tiny expressions, his strong arms, the way he spoke in that attractive deep voice of his. That's when it hit me like an enraged Insecticon. I was hopelessly in love with the Prime, and I had to say it to him. I had to tell him, but I didn't know how.

"Fragging Pits." I muttered, unable to focus on my meditations and giving up. Ratchet looked over at me with a confused look.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I... I don't know. It's nothing to worry about, though. I'll live."

"He's being emotionally constipated again." Miko said from the human area, Jack nudging her and Raphael giving me a weird look.

"Aren't you three supposed to be in school?" I asked, desperately trying to change the subject.

"It's Saturday, no school." Miko said. "And don't try to change the subject.

"Don't test me, small one." I said, standing up and crossing my arms. "My emotions are my own business."

"Oh, come on! Why dont you tell him you love him already?!" Miko protested.

"Miko, remember what Optimus said? Don't push it." Jack scolded. "Don't try to play wingman for people who are trying to take things slow."

"Like you're one to talk, Mr. 'I'm drooling over that one girl the author can't remember the name of.' Geeze!" I was starting to grow a bit uncomfortable with the conversation and decided to head to the base rooftop to try and clear my mind. I sat on the edge of the rooftop, Riftweld in my lap, and my digits gently tracing the Stone.

'I can't do this.' I thought, my spark aching in my chassis. 'I can't tell him how I feel, I know he likes me, but... what if it's just him being nice? What if I say it and he backs away? Primus, what do I do?!'

"Y/D? Are you alright?" I heard Optimus ask from behind me. I stood and turned to face him.

"No, I'm not." I said, trying to bottle up the emotions I wanted to express. Optimus gave me a concerned look.

"What is troubling you?"

"You are!" I snapped, the bottle of emotions shattering. "You and your stupid kindness and gentleness! You're fragging adorable face! You're stupid, slagging, attractive voice! And the way you fragging say sweet things to me like it's nothing! I don't know how to deal with this!" I cried out, Optimus giving me a sad look. I felt my frame go rigid and hot tears run down my face. "I'm so fragging afraid." I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

Optimus seemed surprised but then he slowly approached me with a soft expression. "What is it that you are afraid of?"

"These stupid emotions! The fact that... I love you!" I broke, my wings trembling and my servos shaking as they balled into fists. "A-and I don't want you to leave me or get angry. I need you to be closer to me and... I-I just -MMPH?!" I was cut off by Optimus pulling me into his arms and locking his dermas with mine in a sweet but firm kiss. I closed my optics and melted into his gesture. Optimus then broke the kiss and gently wiped the tears from my face.

"I love you too Y/D. I would never leave you or get angry at you for this. I have to ask, what lead to this fear?" Optimus said, his voice gentle as he cupped my face in his servo.

"Miko... she was pushing it again." I mumbled, my forhelm pressed into his chassis. "I guess I was overthinking the whole thing and... broke. I'm not use to kindness or... love. It's all fairly new to me."

"I understand, I was waiting for you to, as Miko would put it, 'make the first move.' I too was afraid. Afraid that I would push you away or worse, hurt you."

"It takes a lot to hurt me Optimus. I... I'm sorry that you had to endure my, as Miko calls it oh so eloquently, 'emotional constipation'." I said with a small chuckle. "She was right though. I... I need to stop hiding how I feel for you, how I truly feel for you." I then looked up at Optimus and wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down slightly so I could kiss him but was having difficulties doing so.

Optimus then picked me up off the ground and I squeaked in surprise, our dermas meeting again now that we were on the same level. After a few moments I broke the kiss and gave him a pout.

"Curse you and your height." I huffed.

"I am not that tall Y/D." Optimus chuckled, blue on his cheeks as I gave him a rather adorable looking scowl. I then let out a small sigh of defeat as Optimus put me back on the ground.

"FINALLY!" I heard a small voice yell.

"PRIMUS DAMMIT MIKO!"
