Koi

Star said to be careful of who you fought by blade. The day he gifted it, the mere touch of one single finger, the blade changed colors. That color is black. Pitch black..

Drift smiles, observing your expression like an open book "Cat caught your tongue, little one?"

"Never."

"Then pick it up, unsheathe your katana, and show me what you can do."

"I can't fight you."

"I'll go easy on-"

"If I unsheathe my katana, even touch it by a hair." (E/C) eyes that show little serious connect with those of sheer radiating blue, the child he once knew now another person before him, a warning in itself, even if your so small in size, made him tense up by this action alone "Only one shall leave alive. And that will be me alone."

The samurai thought about it. Your warning and seriousness. But, not knowing what will truly occur, dealt his cards to life and death. Allowing the fates to choose his path.

"Enemies lack patience nor mercy. That is how I know you shall not kill me."

Seeing this, you knew, just like all your training, that this will not end well. Yet he pushed aside your warning. This made you rethink your decisions over and over...

Drift smiles, one of victory, as your katana was picked up with dirty hands. Admiring your katana that is completely unsheathed from your katana hilt. Symbols engraved into it as it held a mirror effect all over.

"If I wounded you, will it transfer to your actual body?"

He grips his katana's, in position for training to commence "That is if you can. But yes, it is highly possible."

With this knowledge, preparing yourself, relaxed into a level of inner peace. In that moment, one step, the training session commences.

Optimus took this opportunity to know Cade further. Yes, he knows both those of the same genders can't reproduce, but it is usually not like him to grow slightly more attached to someone. That being a human man. A single father of two daughters.

"You're rather quiet today O.P, everything alright?" Cade, who was thankful of his holoform secret crush to grab him free dessert on such a sunny day, asked with curiosity and a tad of concern.

The nickname set Optimus off guard "O.P?"

"It's a nickname I thought up for you." His treat was a strawberry short cake bar, enjoying it, knowing it was stolen by the Optimus Prime "A simpler and easier way to call you. I think it fits you."

Something in Optimus clicks and turns "I-I see.." as his faint blush went unnoticed by Cade, him enjoying his treat, as Optimus looks away to avoid being found out.

Both men were simply strolling the park. Talking once in a while, observing family's and their little ones, and walking pass many ducks in ponds or surrounded by elders with frozen peas in hand as well as bread. A peaceful walk in the park..

"Your stories amuse me, Cade Yeager."

"As do yours." Cade stops on a bridge, noticing many koi fish below swimming freely, just to observe them all.

Holoform Optimus was taller than the human male beside him. By five inches. He, too, looks over and down to the water. Many koi's the colors of white, black, and bright orange red swim around. Like there is no care in the world each lived in. Peace in their fishy hearts and fishy minds..

"These days, I barely get any peace alone. A dad of two daughters isn't easy." Cade seems to dwell on his part, growing envious of these koi fish's below "Some days, I wonder what it's like to be someone else. A loner, a young boy or girl, these koi fish's....Life really sucks. Yet I guess we all have to deal with what we are dealt with.."

Blue eyes closed, knowing what he meant was true to a deeper level, just to set a large hand on Cade's shoulder. A grip that was gentle in every way possible.

"Unlucky we all are. But bless the All Spark for allowing us to cross paths on this journey."

A smile appears on Cade's face, fighting off the urge to run away like some idiot, only to fail in hiding the unknown creeping blush tinting his cheeks.

Optimus turns his attention to Cade, staring down at the pond below, only to notice the sheer tint of pink of his exposed ears. He thought he was cold till he noticed the blush rising on his crush face.

At this moment, by two different views, both men remain in place. One starring down at all the koi's as the other never once dared look away from Cade's side profile. Deeply engraved every detail into his memory and mind.

A memory each different for the two. Nonetheless, it was filled with all different emotions and beauty. One of life and the other a possible slot open for possibilities.

By the words of a wise elder; Cade indeed fell hard for Optimus. But yet, it seems it was Optimus who fell harder for Cade alone.
