OPTIMUS

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧His first priority? Getting you to safety. The others tell him to that they've got everything handled, but at that point, it's background noise. Even when Ratchet opens a ground bridge and takes you from the frozen Prime, all he can see is you, gasping for air.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He's silent the whole time, sitting by your side and waiting with a blank stare for your eyes to open. And that worries Ratchet, who relays your status to the others to get answers. Megatron seemed to think squeezing you would ignite the fire in Optimus to fight back.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧And it certainly did. It was the angriest the others had seen him, knocking the air out of the warlord before taking you back to base. Ratchet knows Optimus needs some alone time to gather his thoughts, deciding to work on the base computer for the time being.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Nobody speaks to him when they return, instead going to stack the energon they got. Even when you wake, his gaze is unending as Ratchet checks your vitals and asks questions. It isn't until you're moved to his room that he crumbles.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Seeing him cry for you, ask if the pain was too much, if he needed to do something to help, apologizing for letting it happen. It strikes a cord with you, apologizing for getting in the way, but he doesn't blame you. How could he? You were just doing what you could to help.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧It's why you stayed at base, asking the kids when they happened to be out in town to get you whatever you needed. Even after you healed, your stay at base is common. It certainly helped Optimus concentrate, especially when you rest on his shoulder.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧The others do what they can to keep you out of danger, though they trust you can handle your own when saying so. They won't hover, especially with their own tasks at hand. Optimus is thankful for that, eventually able to go on missions after seeing you do fine at base.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Just know that Optimus keeps a close optic on you, carrying you around, tending to you however he can. And when he's on a mission, he makes it known to Megatron that he will NOT hold back anymore. That he should have NEVER brought you into this...

RATCHET

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Optimus had brought you back, looking at his friend with an apologetic look. And Ratchet is frozen, as if the end of Cybertron had happened all over again. It isn't until Optimus speaks that he takes you in his own servos to patch up.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He knew there was a possibility this could happen, that's why he had learned about human anatomy. But a part of him had hoped he'd never HAVE to use it, that you wouldn't GET hurt. And yet, it happened.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Bulkhead later informs(pressured into) him, that Knockout thought it would be fun to test the durability of a human body. So now, he has a target, and while Bulkhead tries to stop him, one glance from the medic makes him back off.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Once he knows for sure that you'll be okay, Ratchet manages to track down Knockout and leave lasting marks. A fair trade. He wanted to do more, but Optimus had tracked him and denounced his actions. He doesn't care to listen, given his processor is on you.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Ratchet refuses to let you leave the base, even for work. He had already contacted Fowler about it. Doesn't matter if you were recovering in a timely manner, there was no way he would let you leave. You can pout all you want, but it won't change his mind.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Should you try and sneak off, the medic has no problem doing what he has to to keep you next to him. He's your caretaker, why try and go somewhere, where something BAD could happen again! The kids had brought you everything you needed for entertainment.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧If he has to, He WILL beg you to stay, voice broken in a vulnerable state, asking you not to leave him behind too. Ratchet will manipulate your emotions to sway you if need be. He can't lose you, loves you too much to see that happen.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Ratchet may not say it, but he cares about you so much. You're the best thing to happen to him since the war happened. He didn't expect it to happen, but his spark has become yours. He wants his actions, even if a bit harsh sometimes, to show his devotion.

BUMBLEBEE

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Immediately finishes what he's doing and scoops you into his servos before asking for a ground bridge. Bee knows the others can take care of themselves, that they can handle the mission. But right now, you need medical attention, and you would ALWAYS be first.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧The whole time June does her thing, he's pacing back and forth, questioning why he wasn't fast enough to do anything- That vehicon was taken down by Arcee, but had managed to drive away. He wishes he could have done more to them, but that can come later...

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He clings to your side, carrying you wherever you needed to be, and going with Raf to get whatever you requested from your home or the store. Ratchet has to scold him for wanting to hold you instead of letting your body lay on a soft surface with little movement.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧ So he uses the time you rest in order to find the vehicon. It's a difficult task at first, but when Bee finds them, he makes sure they feel the pain. He can feel the guilt bubbling up, but it disippates upon thinking about what they did to you. Thankfully though, nobody suspects a thing when he returns.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧When you get better, Bee drives you and Raf to your designated spots, and it helps bring you two closer. It does make him happy, seeing you two laugh and talk, but it shouldn't have happened like this... Still, he'll count both your smiles as a win.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Even after you make a full recovery, Bee continues to keep himself at your side, carrying or driving you to places. It gets to a point where he's sent on missions to give you space, and to show that yes, you'll be fine with the others/by yourself.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Bee coddles you for a while, even when things get better. He makes his feelings more known, offering you courting gifts that he read humans like. Even if you see it as him being nice, he takes your happiness as a positive, since you technically haven't said no.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Bee just wants to keep you safe, since you mean everything to him. He's never felt this way with anyone, and given how strong said feelings are, his protectiveness flairs up. So don't expect to be going on missions anytime soon, especially if it isn't with him.

ARCEE

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧In her blind rage, she attacks whoever it was that THOUGHT hurting you was a good idea. Even as the others call out to her, nothing wipes that intense anger until Bee holds her back. Though that only turns said anger to them for stopping her.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧They say they understand her concerns, but what she did wasn't right. But they don't get it! It felt like Cliffjumper and Tailgate all over again... Losing them was devastating, and losing you too- She didn't know if she could recover if that happened...

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Though upon seeing you in Bulkhead's hands, a wave of sadness washes over her as she takes you. Very few times do the team see her so melancholic, and it feels so...wrong. Thankfully Jack arrives to help assure her the best he can.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He does his best to balance helping you and Arcee, which she does appreciate. And seeing you two together relieves her of some worry when she goes on missions. Sitting around and doing nothing won't help, so she'll use her time to track that vehicon down.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧And when she does? There isn't much to see with the energon being spilled everywhere. It shocks everyone to see just how MUCH damage Arcee did, though she doesn't stick around to listen as she requests a ground bridge to wash up before seeing you.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧The only place she takes you is to work, and even then, is actively trying to get you to stay at base. Fowler already got you time off work, so why go outside? You said you have money, things to keep you entertained, so why? Why risk it happening again?

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧It takes many talks and moments of vulnerability from the both of you to regain some type of space. And given the culprit is no more, Arcee feels a bit better about things. She doesn't want to make you miserable...

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Arcee sees a future with you, and if she has to slay an army of cons to keep you safe, then so be it. Never again will she lose what's important to her. She'll get stronger, as fast as possible- Even if it hurts, or she's pushed to her breaking point. For you, she'll do whatever is needed to keep you safe.

BULKHEAD

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He feels so stupid for letting it happen! Had promised to keep you safe while you did your task, to make sure nothing happened. But it did. One vehicon he thought was down shot at your back, and the scream you let out froze him.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Though it turned to blind rage as he took them down. After beating the mess out of whoever did the deed, he scoops you up like your glass, and his steps are careful as he heads to the portal. The moment Ratchet takes you, he goes outside to vent his frustrations.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Bulkhead refuses to go on any missions, to leave the base, especially at a critical time. Doesn't matter if Optimus says anything, even Wheeljack- No one can convince him otherwise, and given their small number, they REALLY need him.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧It isn't until YOU ask him to help the others, since staying behind won't help you heal faster. And since you said it'd make you happy, Bulkhead does what he can, though he's much faster on his feet than the others are used to in order to return to your side.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He recruits Miko to help, though sometimes it stresses him out. She means well, but like what happened with Tox-En, she was helping you with movement. It leads them to bicker a bit, but Miko states the facts that you can't lay around forever!

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧So begrudgingly, he lets it continue, though he does hover. Miko makes light of it, which helps the mood, and you recovering makes his worries quell significantly. It helps seeing you two become closer, so that when he goes on a mission, Bulkhead knows you're in good hands.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He makes sure you have anything you need, and sometimes, he'll take you on rides to enjoy the scenery and get some alone time. He'll apologize for not being able to protect you, even if you reassure him. The best you can do is let him hold you close...

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Definitely one of the worst to when it comes to hovering, even long after you recover. But given his nature, it's hard to stay mad. He means well, and he does try to keep the mood light, even if he stumbles over his words. Still, it's the though that counts.

WHEELJACK

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Wheeljack didn't expect to care for you so much, and so fast. But there was something about you that made him feel safe. Ironic, given what they're going through, but somehow, you always knew what to say or do to get him back on his pedes.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧So when you're both on a drive amidst the dessert roads, and a group of vehicon decide to fight him? He shows off a bit, and everything is going well. But a missed shot ends up hitting you, and that's when his demeanor completely changes.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He's so quiet, gentle with his hold on you as he calls Ratchet for a groundbridge. And while the medic wants to scold him, he pauses given you're injured and need medical attention, but also the rather blank expression on Wheeljack's face.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧It's odd to see him so calm, but the others know the only thing on his mind is revenge. Even when Optimus and Ultra Magnus try to dissuade them, all he does is give them a blank stare before going back to clean his weapons.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧It doesn't go away, even when you stir awake. Sure, he smiles and gives his usual teasing, but it just doesn't reach his optics. And once you go to sleep, he gears up to find his target. Bulkhead tries to calm him down, but even that doesn't do much to stop him.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Wheeljack doesn't break a sweat when it comes to tracking down the vehicon, rather, it's simply a matter of HOW he's going to exact his revenge. Muck like Ratchet, it's a scar for a scar, though the body of said con is left to spill energon out. Leaving them alive would have felt like a slap in the face.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Of course, you're none the wiser to his endeavors, given he won't say much about his whereabouts. Wheeljack seems rather laid back about everything, taking you to your home to relax or get something from the store once you recover, but work and anything excessive is a big no no.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧There's no point in trying to argue, since the guy won't budge. He doesn't want to cage you in and make you sad, but he can't let you go too far. Wheeljack can't afford to lose anyone else, especially you, so forgive him if he's a bit clingy now, okay?

SMOKESCREEN

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Smokescreen never imagined falling for a human. Heck, he didn't think he'd ever be on Earth! But he chalks it up to his destiny! Working with Optimus Prime, helping fight against the Decepticons, meeting a very cute human ally, what more could he ask for?

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Your safety should have been an easy task for him! Get in, get out, easy peasy! So why was a vehicon able to grab you? Why did he freeze up? It isn't until he hears your pained cry that he knocks the enemy down and runs off with you.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He's torn between staying by your side and driving to get away. He hates seeing you unconscious, laying so still, almost as if already dead. It's the most anxious the team had ever seen him, so Optimus offers to drive out with him, but even THAT doesn't do much...

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧The moment you wake up, he's hovering over you, offering to get anything you need. He's a bit clumsy with it, but seeing how hard he's trying brings a smile to your face, one that makes him feel both better and worse.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Smokescreen isn't one for mindless battle, but rather show off and make a show of it, to prove he's a good fighter. But since it pertained your well being, he doesn't mind getting a bit dirty to avenge you! For once, he goes incognito mode, and tracks down the vehicon.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧You don't think otherwise as he retells the story with a grin. Of course, he leaves out the more disgusting details, since he doesn't want you to feel sick. A part of him does feel disdain for his actions, he's supposed to be better than that, a hero!

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧But seeing you smile, hearing your words of gratitude make all the doubts fade away. Now, Smokescreen's only concern is making sure you recover the best you can. Sure, he hovers a bit, but does his best to give you your space.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He still goes on missions and drives you out of base, which does surprise the others. As much as Smokescreen wants to keep you safe at base, he doesn't want you to be trapped in one place. He just wants to see you smile, happy with thoughts far away from the incident.

ULTRA MAGNUS

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Strict, calm and steady. That's how Ultra Magnus has always done things. It keeps everything neat, in line and for him to account for, especially in battle. Where anything can be taken away by the snap of a digit. But something about you made him open up.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Not immediately, but more quickly than he would others. And that was what he considered his first mistake. Letting his emotions get the better of him rather than putting 100% of his focus on the task at hand. And not only that, he blames it for your accident.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧He just wanted to have you nearby, to look after of course! But a vehicon had gotten close and grabbed you a bit too hard, threatening your life. Magnus froze for a moment, and in a sudden burst of anger, managed to deal with the enemy before taking you back to base.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧The others see his usual stoic expression, but those who REALLY know him can see his processor is somewhere else. He's always had mixed feelings about humans, so fragile, rude even, but you had always confused him the most. Such beauty and fight in that small vessel of yours.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧After thinking upon the advice he gained from Ratchet and research he did on his own, Magnus came to the conclusion that he was in love with you. A concept he never anticipated happening, So, he does the best thing he can think of: ignore it and by proxy keeping his distance from you.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧The second in command still makes sure you're okay, asking the usual questions of your health, but it's directed to Ratchet. The others raise an eyebrow at his behavior, but it isn't too out of character. Rather, it's the disbelief and hurt on your face that makes things a bit...tense.

⊱⭒˚.⋆✧Ultra Magnus doesn't believe it can work, given the multiple differences between the Cybertronians and Humans. But emotions are such intricate things, and he finds it hard to stay away. So he goes with another plan: winning you over.

- SOUNDWAVE :

Sensory Deprivation

Recording Kink

Look at this man and tell me he doesn't like to deprive you of your senses. His servos are careful as he wraps you tightly in a rope, putting your arms behind you, covering your eyes with a cloth, shutting you up with a gag and plugging your ears with earplugs. You were there, so vulnerable to him, wet and at his total mercy. It was an image as valuable as the highest quality energon, and he was definitely going to keep it in his processor.

He liked the vulnerability, generating that delicious anticipation in you about what he would do and the fact that you could do nothing against him. Her flat servos would run up and down your body with provocative rubs, touching the sensitive parts you liked until they inserted themselves into your little hole. Of course he wasn't going to miss saving that delicious image forever on his processor, so he makes sure to record each and every long lovemaking session.

His favorite position is any position where you are totally exposed for him, being able to record your face and your delicate parts receiving him was something he was not going to miss. His shaft is kind of weird, long and movable to his liking, which he takes advantage of to touch all the sensitive parts inside you. You are totally at his mercy, and you couldn't do much against it but enjoy it.

His rhythm is fast, controlled and constant, his movements are not confused. If you have strong, from time to time, through the thick mask, you can hear a small , almost non-existent moan of pleasure.

If you are lucky.

- WHEELJACK :

Semi-exhibitionism

Exposure Kink

Wheeljack definitely likes risky things, and what's more risky than a little exhibition? The thrill of being caught at any moment increases his excitement by 120%. He'll do it anywhere if possible, but he's a little more inclined to open places, like a big field or a deserted park. But of course it's not always, it can go from an abandoned alley to the roof of a house at night.

It makes it even funnier that it never uses its holoform, so if any innocent person comes across you in the middle of a walk in the woods, they will only see a two-meter robot fucking a person against a tree. Contrary to what you would think, he likes to be loud, quiet enough to not be so obvious, but he won't shut you up.

It's not that he's looking to expose you to the whole world, of course not. But risk is a delicious pleasure, doing it in nature, in unusual places, makes it special for him. His servos run over your cold body delicately, warming his servos against your belly as his shaft penetrates you. The city lights faintly envelop you, sometimes it scares you, but you know you are safe with him. Still, you cling to him with all your might, after all they were who knows how many feet above a thick old tree he decided to target.

If you wish, Wheeljack will happily prepare the ship when you want a quieter, more intimate encounter, he doesn't bother with your preferences at all. He's not an idiot, he won't force you to go to open places.

- RATCHET :

Praise Kink

Submission

Well, you and I both know that Ratchet is just a bitter old war-hardened doctor. Every day after dealing with the team and the kids, he definitely needs a couple of compliments to lift his spirits. Flatter his armor, flatter his valve, flatter his beak! With that you'll soon have him hard and ready for you. Of course, he also loves to adore you, your little body so soft and accessible to him, so deliciously tight. You two will be on a cloud of adoration throughout the whole activity, how cheesy.

Ratchet has enough of the day-to-day on base, sometimes he's the one who gets stressed out over little things himself, so he's moderately willing to tame his partner if necessary. He really likes submission, because oh, you look so pretty under him, so obedient, so calm. His servos run over your body with surgical precision, grazing your nipples all the way to your clitoris.

Your submission means his dominance, and dominance means he is in control, that pleases him. If you're not willing to be tamed, chances are you will be the one dominating. Do all the work and let him relax in bed, he is also someone rarely willing to obey you.

- SMOKESCREEN :

Roleplay

Neophilia

Smokescreen is young and energetic, he loves to try new things all the time. He's quite interested in sexual play and exploration, and why not try it with you? He lives for experiences and for you.

Outdoors? Sure, why not, even if he might not like it later because of the cold and discomfort; BDSM? Of course it is an option; Toys? Of course it is; Anal? Impossible not to; Threesome? I might consider it if you agree. Every night of pleasure is a new position he looked up on the internet, he even has a list to cross them off. Sometimes he is even too risky, sneaking into Optimus Prime's room to do it on his floor, since he doesn't dare use his berth.

He especially likes to roleplay, there are so many scenarios, so many ideas. Human or cybertronian, he wants to play with each of them. He is a high command soldier while you are just a rookie, of course he is. You are his college professor and he is your student, he's more than willing. After having the opportunity to be a Prime, he plays with that most of the time. He doesn't regret his desition, but come on, really who is going to get over that so fast?

He has no favorite position, they are all exquisite! He really enjoys you in any way possible. He has average stamina, but have several rounds regardless, you end up full of transfluid and exhausted by the end of the night.

- MEGATRON :

Bite Kink

Megatron is a crazy tyrant, with quite a few mental problems, to be honest. He is terribly possessive of you, you are so weak and helpless, little girl, vulnerable against any Con on the ship. He has lost too many things in the war, he is not going to lose you now for any stupid mistake, he has to protect you, everyone must know, you are his, in every aspect, from body and soul. Therefore, he loves to mark you, let everyone see that hideous mark on your neck, it's a pleasure for him!

Sex with Megatron is always going to end in blood, even if he tries to be gentle with you. His claws are too sharp, every part of his body is a danger to you. But it's not such a big deal, as he says, they are marks that you belong to me, and he belongs to you. Likewise, he will always heal you as if you were in intensive care. He is a brute, but when he has time to do something with you, he makes sure to clean his body with dedication, neither you nor he wants any wound to end in mortal infection, you are so fragile!

He loves above all things to bite you, to bite you on your neck, on your arms, on your sides, on your hips, on your thighs, even on your ass. Seeing the love marks, the signature that you are his, turns him on too much; it's enough to make him hard in seconds, enough to want to stick himself in that little hole of yours.

His favorite position is when you're underneath him, seeing every part of your little being is something he very rarely misses. He has total power over you, sometimes you can ride him, but he will absolutely control your every move. His servos dig into your hips as he makes you ride up and down on his thick shaft, watching your pussy stretch to receive him.

After each little lovemaking session, he disinfects and treats the bites he leaves all over your body. He has shark teeth, it's painful and a little dangerous, but he has enough control not to rip off a shoulder in the process. He doesn't like to cover the most visible ones, if possible, he doesn't do it.

But it is always Knockout's decision, much to his chagrin.

- OPTIMUS PRIME :

Discipline Kink

Cum Kink

Optimus imposes discipline and obedience by himself, but he likes to impose it on you much more. Treat him badly, disobey him, misbehave, it's okay, he will be happy to discipline you later in the evening. One little unnecessary fit of rage from you and his spike will already be pressing his panels to let it out. He's a gentle dominant, he's not looking to have power over you, he is just looking to correct, (in his words). Because, well, it's unacceptable behavior and he cannot let it go, but you are not one of his soldiers either, so.... Use another method.

As long as it's "disciplinary," he will do it. He especially loves it when you are physical with him, hit him, slap him, kick him, even if you try to rip off some of his parts he won't suffer much damage. In the face of that, his discipline is also physical, mainly whipping you with his servos in any sensitive area, like your thighs, butt or your sex, saying something like "your violent behavior needs to be corrected."

Other times he strips you naked and restrains you with straps and tapes in a humiliating or exposed position, he will leave you there until "you have thought about what you did" or whenever he feels like it. Other times he forces you to say humiliating things mixed in an apology while you have his spike in your mouth. are you about to cum? oh no, you do not deserve it, so stop touching yourself until it passes.

Filling you with his cum is also something he looks forward to unusually every night. Watching you covered in it is addictive. If he can, he will, which happens almost all the time. He puts vibrators on your clit and removes them when you're on the edge. But he's not so cruel, when he's done with his punishment, he will take you and stick you on his spike. His favorite position is when you have your legs against his shoulders, he will pound you all over and fill you with his transfluid, in, out, in your mouth.

By the end of the night you have to stink of his transfluid no matter what.

- KNOCKOUT :

Medical Play

Mirror Kink

It's no secret that this guy loves to look at himself in the mirror while he fucks you, just look at him, shiny, sexy and absolutely gorgeous, Knockout can't resist himself, he's cocky. Any position, any place, he looks absolutely great! The way his spike goes into you when he's lying down and you ride him, how wonderful. He also likes to look at you, of course, look at that expression of yours as he strokes you deep, how cute, look how you open up so easily to him, he will make you do it if he gets the chance.

Don't think he doesn't use his medical knowledge to torment you, oh no. This crazy guy, to be honest, he can go as far as healing your wounds while playing with you to drugging you with something strange. He knows exactly where to play to do whatever he wants with you.

He is the smart doctor and you are his beautiful patient. He'll examine the places he thinks need to be examined, and of course, he'll have to "cure" them. Painkillers, aphrodisiacs and strange serums will clearly not be lacking, even if some are a surprise to you.

In spite of everything, he is willing for you to experiment with him, touch him, drive him crazy, what a pleasure! He really likes to do it in the infirmary, on the stretcher, on the floor, it's exciting. Everything gets stained with transfluid and your own fluids.

It will depend on which of you two will be dead at the end of the night to know who will sterilize the room again.

- BREAKDOWN :

Overstimulation

Shy Domination

He likes to over stimulate and over stimulate, you two are a mess. It's not a problem for him to use toys, especially vibrators, he uses them on you and himself. His fingers are thick, he uses them to masturbate you and not let you come until you are crying and begging for him to let you come. Then, of course, he loves it even more when you play with him, making him overload until he can't take it anymore.

When his spike is ramming into you, he never stops, his rhythm is steady and relentless, but with no intention of hurting you. He is a gentle fool, too afraid to hurt you, but refuses to always be the dominated one. He can't touch you too roughly, but he can ram you to the point of leaving his mark on you. How corny. He will keep moving even if he or you have overloaded, no matter if his strokes become clumsy and weak.

He's a sweet talker, he will praise you and stroke you while you cry with pleasure under him, begging him to stop. His favorite position is missionary, of course, classic and comfortable. He touches your thighs, he touches your hips, your face, he loves to watch you. Oh, so tight, so beautiful, your belly looks like a ball at the end of the night, full of his transfluid.

• There’s a human inside him. Knew when he scanned the vehicle and carefully removed the original that it was a very likely possibility, but that hadn’t prepared him for the odd intimacy of it. Of a stranger touching things inside him that have never been handled by anyone. Engine rumbling as your anxious field prickles him, he can feel the weight and warmth of you in his driver’s seat, soft hands on his wheel. Knows this is necessary, that the Decepticons are looking for him and he needs to lay low. Blend in. But it’s eerie.

• Reaching to turn on the radio, all of your presets are just gone and you can’t seem to find anything but static. Scanning for stations as you drive, that uncanny sense of wrongness is growing. Making you want to pull over and get out. Call someone to come get you. But what if no one answers? Maybe this really is like the twilight zone and you’ve woke up somewhere strange. Somewhere almost home, but not. Maybe you’re the only human left. And a song finally comes through the speakers to startle you. She Blinded Me With Science? Changing stations, the song just keeps playing like every channel is on the same agenda and only playing that song.

• Your field is starting to make him uncomfortable. Making him anxious. “This isn’t my car,” you mumble and his engine stutters in surprise. How do you know? He’s an exact replica. Doubling down on pretending to be just an ordinary human vehicle, he can feel your hands trembling on the wheel. “I don’t know what’s going on, but this isn’t my car.” Maybe you can feel his field? Something’s tipping you off, but he can’t figure out what.

• Maybe you’re just crazy. Is that how it happens? You just wake up one morning and you’re insane? Sure that your car isn’t your car, misremembering things, everything feeling off. Wrong. It’s not like someone stole your piece of crap beater, cleaned and suped it up, then put it back. So it’s got to be you. And that stupid song finally ends. Only to start playing again. You’re about to start bawling, eyes burning and breathing growing ragged as a panic attack ramps up. Wanting to pull over and just run screaming away from the car. Just nope out of whatever horror movie insanity is going on.

OPTIMUS PRIME - Nanami Kento (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Despite being here the longest, Optimus was the least acquainted with Earth habits like listening to music and watching TV. So he had absolutely no idea who that blonde man was on the screen of your phone, when he walked up behind you as you sat on the raised platform in the base.

But your eyes were glued to the screen, something like admiration mixed with longing sparkling in them. He could also hear the way your heartbeat picked up, and his optics narrowed.

"is there something I am missing?" He looked at Jack, who was shaking his head at you.

"No, she's just got this weird obsession with this anime character," Jack explained.

"It's not weird!" You protested, then smacked his arm, "Jack!"

He gave you a look, which you pointedly ignored as you turned to smile up at your mechanical boyfriend, "it's nothing. He's just got a cool weapon."

"I have an axe and a sword," Optimus pointed out, looking adorably confused.

"Which are both very, very cool," you quickly reassured him, "But he uses it in conjunction with this even cooler cursed technique-"

"My sword and axe glow," Optimus offered, still confused but now looking like a kicked puppy. "And I can show you "cool" techniques when I use them, if that is what you would like."

That's when you realised.

"Oh, but he's not cooler than the leader of the Autobots," you slowly grinned.

Optimus was immune to flattery from almost anyone - except you. His chassis would puff out just slightly whenever you complimented him, and that was no different now.

You grinned and climbed onto his shoulder, "He doesn't compare to the great and mighty Optimus Prime, feared by Decepticons everywhere." You then leaned in and affectionately kissed his warm faceplates.

A smiled formed on his dermas.

BUMBLEBEE - Portgas D. Ace (One Piece)

Bumblebee knows what anime is...vaguely. He's seen Raf watching it a few times and all he understood was that it was Japanese animation. He was not prepared to wake up from recharge and see you and Raf huddled on the couch watching something. Much less for what he heard next.

"Ace is so cool!"

A few bleeps of protest from behind you alerted you to the scout's presence. You turned around to see him looking at you like a wounded puppy.

"Oh, Bee, I didn't mean that he's cooler than you!" You reassured the yellow Autobot. "I just really like his Devil Fruit and how powerful he is in the anime."

Wrong things to say, because that just made it worse. He bleeped a few more times, and you'd become so adept at understanding him that you knew he was listing all the reasons why he was cooler.

You tried to stop him, "Bee, I'm not saying-"

He cut you off, still rambling - now about his weapons and his fighting technique.

"Bumblebee-"

No luck. He was downright scandalised by your fictional crush.

"Bumblebee!" You raised your voice slightly, laughing. When he stopped and looked at you, you continued, "I may like Ace, but I love you. And I have never thought, and will never think, that he is cooler than you because he's not, okay? I mean look at you, you're this giant, sentient robot from another planet with the most awesome blasters ever. What could possibly top that?"

He puffed his chassis out with pride and bleeped again, this time more confidently and proudly. You shook your head, an amused smile on your face as you leaned in to press a gentle kiss to his faceplates.

"Damn right you are, babe."

SMOKESCREEN - Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece)

The first thing that Smokescreen had done when he'd met you was acquaint himself with every interest, hobby, like and dislike of yours. It did not occur to him that you would have a secret crush, much less on a fictional character, until he walked in on you and Miko watching something on your phone and speaking in hushed whispers.

"And what could possibly be going on here?" He popped up behind you. "You two plotting someone's murder or something? Ooh, if it's Knock Out's, can I help?"

You jumped, fumbling with your phone, "Smokescreen!"

"Sorry, not sorry," he chuckled. "That was cute. What are you two being so secretive about, then?"

You and Miko exchanged looks, "Nothing!"

"Oh come on, that is so rehearsed!" He reached out and gently plucked the device from your hand with two of his large digits. His optics narrowed at the person on your screen.

"Who's this?"

"Only (Name)'s one true love!" Miko grinned mischievously, adding kissy noises to cause more trouble.

"Miko!" You aimed to swat her arm, but she laughed and jumped out of reach.

"This guy?" Smokescreen scoffed. "Please. He doesn't even have proper eyebrows!"

You burst into laughter, shaking your head, "You're right, babe. They're so weird." He shot you a look, which made you laugh harder. "Come on, you know I love you the most. You're my one true love; don't listen to Miko."

"I can flirt with you just fine!" He protested.

Your eyes widened, "Did you just look him up?"

"I also watched every available video of him on the internet."

"Right now?"

"I'm better than him in every way."

"I never said!"

"I'll prove it to you! Is he as fast as I am? As strong as I am? Does he have cool weapons?"

You sighed. This was going to be a long day.

KNOCK OUT - Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Knock Out's vanity knew no end. He believed himself to be superior in every way, both in appearance and skill. Surgical skill, to be precise, but you couldn't tell him that made his competition very slim and that doesn't really make him the best because the first time you did that he left you in the Nevada desert.

So you have to be very careful about when you watch Jujutsu Kaisen, and this means only doing so when he's out procuring a relic for Megatron.

Unfortunately, sometimes you don't know when he would return and today was one of those times. You were so engrossed in the anime that you didn't hear his heavy pede-steps, too busy marvelling at the part you were watching - Gojo removing his blindfold to showcase his stunning eyes.

"Who is that and why are his human eyes blinding me?" You heard from behind you, jumping in fright and dropping your phone. Knock Out's deep chuckle filled your ears before he plucked the device out of your hands.

His sharp digit once again cracking your screen.

"Knock Out!" You glowered at him.

"I would say sorry, but I'd be lying," came his usual response.

"What is it now?" You sighed.

"You still think my optics are the...prettiest, as you say?" He asked, shoving his massive face in front of yours.

"Yes, why?" You raised an eyebrow.

"Then you don't need to be looking at these...things."

"They're called eyes," you refrained from laughing, biting your lip to hold it back.

"I know what they're called!" He growled.

Then he set your phone down and crouched down to look at you, his larger face right up in yours. His blood-red optics staring unsettlingly into your own eyes.

"Uh...what are you doing?" Your cheeks burned.

"Trying to replace that image of his boring, insignificant eyes with my optics," he admitted. Then smirked, "Is it working?"

You sighed, "Yes."

WHEELJACK - Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)

As it turns out, you really liked swords. A fact that Wheeljack had always known, but hadn't really witnessed until today. His were the only ones you were ever exposed to, so it was jarring to walk into the base and see you fawning over someone else's blades.

"Look at how cool they are!" You were very enthusiastically shoving your phone in Miko's face, a sceptical look on the younger girl's face.

"I doubt it's very cool if Miko has that look on her face," your boyfriend smirked, earning a glare from you. "Woah, what's that look for?"

You turned and showed him your screen, his optics narrowing when they landed on the green-haired swordsman standing there holding three swords.

Wheeljack scoffed, "Why does he need three swords? Is two not enough?"

You practically glowered at him, "He uses the Three Sword Style, which is actually really-"

"Cool?" Wheeljack finished, "Yeah, got that. But I'm just saying, he looks kind of stupid with a sword in his mouth."

Your eye twitched. Miko laughed.

You inhaled deeply, "You know what? I think you're jealous. You feel threatened by a fictional character. Come on, babe, that's ridiculous, wouldn't you say?"

That earned you a giant Cybertronian sword through your handheld device. Your eyes widened, and then you scowled at your smug boyfriend.

"What was that for?!"

"You spend a ridiculous amount of time on this thing," he just grinned, tossing it aside. "Why watch him when you have the real deal right here?"

"You-!" You huffed, then crossed your arms and turned away from him.

"Aw, are you going to give me the silent treatment now?" He chuckled, more amused than worried. "You can get a new one."

You ignored him.

"If that's how you want to play it..."

He grabbed you and transformed, taking you for a long drive during which he forced you to listen to his tales of how skilled he was with his swords.

You'd honestly never seen him so jealous.

SOUNDWAVE - Inumaki Toge (Jujutsu Kaisen)

It was one of those days where Soundwave was in a mood. Not that anyone could tell, except for you. And you knew why. He was feeling down about not talking to you, which you had told him countless times that you were okay with.

And then he walked in to see you watching anime - something you'd been doing a lot more since he'd gotten busier with helping locate predacon bones for Shockwave.

This time, though, he watched your body language change as a certain character came on the screen. He noticed excitement. And you didn't notice him at all, not like how you usually picked up on his purposely heavier pede-steps into his berthroom.

"Soundwave!" You jumped five feet in the air, letting out an undignified screech, when he suddenly appeared at your shoulder.

I've been here for ten minutes, he typed on his screen.

"Oh, sorry," you looked sheepish. "I was watching this anime, Jujutsu Kaisen. There's a character similar to you, Inumaki Toge. He can't speak, because of his cursed speech. Anything he says is like a command, so he can only say non-command words, usually...tuna or salmon." You paused, then, "Don't ask."

He speaks.

Your eyes widened, and you quickly set your phone down before rushing over to him, "No, wait, that's not the point!"

Soundwave stared at you.

You sighed, reaching for one of his long digits, "Come on, you know that you're my favourite mute. I prefer our method of communication, because tuna and salmon are kind of hard to translate, don't you think?"

A blank stare is what you got in response. And then, carefully, he plucked the device from your hands and set it down before lifting you up in his servo, displaying a bright red heart on his visor.

You smiled, "See? I love seeing that. Makes me smile more than anyone or anything else ever could."

And it makes your heartbeat increase.

Your jaw dropped, "Soundwave!"

Blank stare.

"You just joked!"

SHOCKWAVE - Trafalgar D. Water Law (One Piece)

Shockwave has very...limited emotions. He very rarely feels jealousy, and before you he didn't even know what that was. It's very difficult, nigh impossible, to get him insecure or jealous over someone else taking your attention.

But Law hit him right where it hurt - his status as best surgeon in your eyes.

It took him a while to notice, but when he did it became too hard to ignore. You were losing interest in watching him perform procedures, and looking at your phone more. Watching some kind of series that apparently had a very skilled surgeon.

"Why do you stare at your phone like that?" He asked one day, while scanning a new predacon bone.

"Hmm?" You looked up at him, then smiled. "Oh, I'm watching One Piece. There's this guy called Trafalgar Law, and he's got such a cool devil fruit power. But more than that, he's an extremely skilled surgeon. They call him the Surgeon of Death."

"That does not sound very skilful to me," Shockwave deadpanned, looking up at you, "If he was so skilled, why would so many die?"

"That's not-" You laughed. "That's not why he's called that."

"Then that name is illogical," he turned back to his task, attempting to seem unbothered by your fascination with this fictional character. He was fictional, it would be illogical to get upset over.

You knew better.

Setting your phone down, you crawled over to where he was examining the predacon bone, "So what part did that come from?"

Shockwave looked up at you, made a pleased sound that you barely heard, then looked back at the bone, "The hip."

You grinned.

"Does that amuse you?" He asked, confused.

"No," your grin widened. "You felt threatened by a fictional character. Most illogical, Shockwave."

"I did not feel threatened," he argued, though for once he didn't sound so sure of himself. And he knew that, because as soon as you opened your mouth to speak he covered it with his digit. "Quiet, now. I need full concentration for this part."
