Optimus Prime gave a sigh as he walked into the main hangar after a long day of patrol. The tall blue and red Autobot rubbed the back of his helm before he stifled a yawn.

Optimus then rubbed the space between his optics, as he staggered to his berth room. The poor Prime had been searching for a decent night's recharge. Optimus pulled himself past Beta-04's room, and l looked over. He then froze, seeing his beloved slumped over her desk, her computer online still.

Optimus pushed the door open, and stepped inside. He shut the door behind him. Optimus then walked over and took in the scene.  

Beta-04 was slumped over her desk, her optics shut, out cold.  Her back struts rising and falling with full, even vents. Her derma's parted slightly,  her expression soft, and gentle.

Optimus' spark melted at the sight. He reached forward and flipped the computer off, before he rested his servo on Beta-04's shoulder.

"My love, wake up."  he coaxed her gently.

Beta-04 let out a soft grumble, and tucked her face into his arm, "Mmmrrg . . ."  she then yawned and spoke in a drawled, uneven tone, "Optimusss. .  . ." she moans.

Optimus reached down and cupped her chin, "My love,  you must come to bed." he coaxed again.

Beta-04 shifted again, but stayed asleep. Optimus sighed, and gave a gentle chuckle. He then slid his arms beneath her and pulled her up. Optimus struggled to get her into his arms, the strong Prime hoisted Beta-04 up awkwardly, before he gave a soft yelp as he stumbled and nearly dropped her.

"For Primus Sake, Optimus, you are an Autobot leader, and a lover . . . putting your spouse in the berth should not be this hard." he told himself.

Optimus brought himself over to her berth, Beta-04 was curled up against his chest plating. Optimus managed to ease her down on the berth, before he tripped over his own feet and fell forward.

"S-scrap!" Optimus cursed, as he braced himself up over his mate's sleeping form.

Beta-04 lay beneath him, her optics half shut, before she yawned, and looked up, "Optimus?" she mumbled.

Optimus  blinked, before looking away,  "I-I apologize, I was merely trying to ease you onto the berth." he said.

Beta-04 then smirked, "Aww." she reached around and pulled him close, "Always the gentlemen, huh?"

Optimus blushed, before he nuzzled into her neck cables, "Good night, my love." he purred.

Beta-04 yawned, before she closed her optics, "G'night, doll." she mumbled as they both slipped into the recharge.
