Okarun had messed up. He knew that. But this was getting excessive. You guys were going against these schlong-stalking aliens and their stupid shrimp but it was starting to feel like he was your enemy.
Every time he treaded towards you in the water, you would swim in the opposite direction. You used Momo as an excuse, saying you wanted to be near her, but you were a terrible liar.
When Momo insisted you all get on Okarun's back, you were practically floating above him the whole time. He almost chalked it up to an aversion to touching skin on skin, but you stubbornly clung to Momo.
Once the whole ordeal was finished, you all found yourselves in the school nurse's office. Okarun tried to extend an olive branch, offering to help you find clothes in your size. But, again, you made the insane decision to avoid him against your better judgement. In his opinion, at least.
At this point, Okarun was really starting to get irritated. He spent several minutes listening to Momo's ticked off rant pushing him to apologize. But how was he supposed to explain if you wouldn't even look him in the eye?
So, he cornered you. Kind of.
You sigh as you reach for the handle of the door you were changing behind in the nurse's office, preparing to face Momo and the two lovebirds again. You don't really like the idea of them together, but if Aira's who Okarun's chosen, it's fine. You'll get over it. Eventually. For now, though, you're dead set on avoiding him.
You very quickly find out that Okarun is dead set on making that extremely difficult to do. As you step out in your borrows clothes, you're faced with the sight of a lone Okarun staring at you expectantly. You almost want to step backwards into the closet, but you've been trying to keep your evasion subtle.
You close the door behind you and stand there for a moment, suddenly feeling awkward. Your willpower could have you standing there across from him forever, but your legs don't have the same strength after today. Trying to make it look smooth, you stride over to the recovery couch.
Eternally persistent, Okarun moves from his chair to sit on the opposite end of the couch. You can't find it in you to spitefully move right now. Instead, you just clench the sheet under you and lean back on the wall behind you.
Okarun starts to talk. You let yourself listen, finally.
"What you saw with Miss Shiratori and I earlier is not what you think." You're tempted to get up and leave at his first words, peeved that he has the nerve to lie to you. But you'd promised Momo you'd give him a chance. And, if you're honest with yourself, you want to hear this. You don't want to believe they're really together.
"Ok," you state simply, giving Okarun the space to speak. You can tell he appreciates it, if his relieved sigh means anything.
"She came onto me. I guess she developed some weird crush on me after we helped save her. She ambushed me while I was outside-"
"But why were you avoiding me - I mean us during lunch? If you were so busy working, what were you doing outside?"
"..."
"Right." You stand up to leave, pace around, do something other than listen to Okarun lie to your face. His hand shoots out and latches on to your wrist. You glare down at him, only to be met with a pleading face. You are weak. You sit back down.
"I was training," Okarun mumbles so quietly you almost don't hear. But you do.
"Training for what? How to be someone's boyfriend?" You spit at him. You know you're being petty but he clearly thinks you're stupid.
Okarun groans loudly and throws himself back against the wall. "I was training...so I could be stronger. Like Miss Ayase's grandmother said. I have to be strong to..." He paused as if he was trying to find the right words. "To protect you." At this, he looked back at you.
"Okay." You were really stressing him out.
"Okay?"
"Okay. I believe you." Okarun beams. "But!" He deflates again. "I don't need you to protect me. What I need is for you to be honest with me. Okay?"
Okarun smiles so brightly you almost get angry at him all over again. "Okay!"
You two look at each other in silence before you hear a click. Both of your heads swing towards the door, which opens to reveal a smirking Momo.
"Are you two done with your little quarrel," she asks, mischievous eyes darting between you and Okarun.
"Yes," you both say in sync, though in completely different tones.
"Good! Now you can focus on your love for each other!" Momo starts to chuckle.
"WHAT!"
"Our What."
Momo's giggles quickly grow into cackles as she almost falls on the ground laughing. Behind her, Miko and Muko appear.
"Do you two know what's going on with her?" Okarun asks tentatively.
"Never do," sighs Miko as Muko shakes her head.
You simply sigh deeper into the couch, not noticing Okarun's adoring stare on your form.

A Fizziepop Take: Let’s talk about the next 100 years
Oh. My. God.
Did everyone watch what I just watched? Because I literally can’t right now! I swear to god my anxiety was so high from start to finish of this episode. Vivzie really did it with this one, because I was almost at a loss for words…. ALMOST. But the “Mastermind” episode was like a big beefy steak and potatoes smothered in gravy with a glass of wine; there’s just too much to sink my teeth into, starting with Stolas being stripped of his power, so let’s get into it.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
“Stolas, I hereby strip you of your status, your power, and your title for the next hundred years.”
Stolas’ face after hearing that he was being stripped bare of his title was literally heartbreaking because Stolas is not only stripped of the title and the respect that came with it, or even just the power he’s grown accustomed to…. Stolas is stood in front of a group of his peers and stripped of everything he has ever known. Everything. His daughter, his home, everything is just suddenly off limits for him. And after living for the Goetia and only the Goetia for 30-something years, Stolas isn’t accustomed to living as a common type demon, especially a common type demon ranking as low as he is currently who has literally nothing. To go from a prince with a mansion and a daughter and a home to being basically having no one, being homeless, and having people throw things at you on the street is a BIG step. And with zero preparation for such a big change, it must have been the shock of a lifetime….. But then we get to the last bit of Satan’s punishment for him: “...for the next hundred years.” So it isn’t that bad, right? Ehhhhhhh…..
Ok, so let’s really break it down and think about what exactly the hundred years could hold for the former Goetia prince.
Homelessness and potential poverty
Soooooo… I know that technically Blitz has taken Stolas in, but given the current state of their relationship, we can’t really be sure that will last. As a Stolitz fan myself, I was internally screaming when Blitz took him in and started caring for him because AHHHHHHHHH….. But Blitz also has a tendency to self-sabatoge relationships with the people he loves the most, and a long history of not being able to communicate wants, needs, or anything really outside of being drugged with a truth serum, being in a seriously life-threatening situations, or being on the tail end of a breakdown, and now with Stolas being in an even more vulnerable state than he was before, I’m not sure we’re going to be getting the full Stolitz comeback we all want quite yet… And that may mean Stolas not staying in Blitz’s apartment quite as long as he probably would have prior to the events of “The Full Moon” and “Apology Tour” since we see the prince trying to move past the relationship and into a new era of his life. We may also see him struggle financially if his assets are affected by this banishment, and from the loss of his title and home, I think there’s a good chance that that is the case. While I do see Blitz offering to make a place for Stolas at IMP, with his now limited powers and lack of experience in the workplace, and in hell as a common place demon, it may not be something that is completely feasible right now…. And that brings us to the 2nd thing we might see in upcoming episodes:
Falling back into bad habits
Despite the fandom’s love for Stolitz, I think we can all agree that while love did come of it eventually, Blitz was one of the prince’s bad habits in the beginning. Blitz, for Stolas, was a rebellion, a sort of ‘fuck you’ to the life he had planned out because of his place as demon royalty…. And now as a just a mere demon with no power and no status, things could go the complete opposite direction from what I mentioned earlier, and he may run right back to the familiarity of Blitz with no regard for whether there has been a change made on either of their parts or not, which could also set Blitz back since Stolas wouldn’t necessarily care if he was treating him better or not, so he might lose the motivation to want to be a better version of himself. Both men need support outside of just each other, and while Blitz has it within his IMP family (as well as a lot of support from his community now), Stolas doesn’t.
Now, don’t get me wrong, M&M and Loona will more than likely step up to support Stolas in this time, if not solely for the fact of him being the man Blitz loves, because they all know that what Stolas did was something he didn’t technically have to do for them all, BUT Stolas lost his title and (seemingly) access to everything relating to that, including his daughter who is arguably his only true family that we’ve seen since the flashback of him and his father when he was a literal child. Now, keep in mind that this man stayed in a relationship with someone who physically abused him, and tormented him mentally and emotionally for years, all for his daughter. Has he been the best dad? No, not by a long shot, but Loona does have a point in “Seeing Stars”, when she explains to Octavia that parenting is complicated and sometimes parents make mistakes despite loving their children…. We see how important his daughter is to him a lot throughout the show, and with what Andrealphus said about Octavia now solely being cared for by her “wholesome parent” (*laughter*), we can pretty much guarantee that even if he wasn’t banned from seeing her, her mother and uncle would never allow it, and I think this will be something that could cause him to spiral, and possibly start picking up new bad habits, maybe even more harmful ones than we’ve seen him use to cope in the past.
Death
Stolas has had 2 attempts on his life that we know of so far… What’s to stop Stella from sending Striker back for him now? Technically she doesn’t need to, since her ex husband is unable to keep her from the fortune and power she and her brother had been after, but what better time to off him than when her daughter is still a minor and can’t take over his spot in the system of royalty, and he’s hated by so many people now?
She only has the next hundred years, and if she doesn’t do it now, she may lose th upper hand she has in this moment and she may not get another chance to have as much power as she has in this moment. But would Vivzie off Stolas? I don’t know, but she does everything for a reason in her shows, so we know she’s setting up for something big. Could it be another assassination attempt? Multiple attempts? More than just Striker going after him? It would be a good time to do it from the perspective of the characters, but would the death of a character so intertwined with the main protagonist of the series be a good idea? As a consumer of the content, I would literally be in tears at a death scene involving a character I’ve been allowed to get so attached to over the course of the series…. as a creator, someone who writes and enjoys the engagement that my content brings and enjoys creating the content I create, a major death like that would open up doors for plots that may not have been an option before and while it would shock the fandom, and while the fandom’s devastation could be catastrophic, it could all pull us further into the hell she’s created because we all love the characters still living and would all have a single question after seeing such a beloved character go: What comes next?
As a humble Fizziepop, I can’t say that I know what comes next, but after “Mastermind”, I can definitely say that I’ll be hoping for a more funny and light-hearted episode next time, but I’ll keep a box of tissues on standby incase Vivzie has another tear-jerking episode in store for us. What do you think the next hundred years might look like for Stolas? And what does everyone think will happen for the Stolitz ship?

𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬
𝙹𝚘𝚑𝚗 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚡 𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝙽𝚂𝙵𝚆 𝚁𝚎𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝 (𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 5 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚜 𝚘𝚕𝚍)
Price could swear to god that people were doing shit on purpose to set his nerves.
Intel was wrong, Shepherd didn't help as he sent his lap dog towards his task force for some lucrative and government shit he was supposed to cover to save his ass. First Ghost was shot in the leg and then you were captured, tortured and sent back after 2 months limping and on your way to say hi to Jesus, secondly even Soap and Gaz made a quick trip to the infirmary to heal burns and cuts from an explosion detonated near their position, one that should've not been there and on top of that the objective fled the scene and their mission failed!
Now it was one of the rare times he could rest a bit and he was in his bed, half sitting and half laying down as his eyes trailed the bumps of paint of dark cream colored ceiling. His legs were crossed and his expression was not one of the most gentle ones, his brows were furrowed and his light blue irises were battling between looking at the door or not.
Eventually he made up his mind. He got up and headed for the dorm near his, only 10 meters away, and knocked on the door. He was greeted with a sleepy lover with a messy expression. He shoved the other inside before the sentence "John- you go-?" could have been pronounced. He locked the door behind and pushed him onto the bed closing the gap between the mouths in a rough kiss that was more teeth than anything, he brought you to your bed as he laid you down and slowly slid his dominant hand on your neck and lightly squeezed it before he felt a tap on his shoulder and a tug of his hair making him part ways instantly.
"Fucking hell John, if you wanted to fuck me so bad you should have just asked, I would've happily helped you!" You gulped down looking a bit disappointed but not really. You stared at your husband with half lidded blown eyes and an expecting look "Seams like someone is a little too eager today, no wonders, the last months had been like shite for all of us" you smirked as a hand snaked its way slowly under his black t-shirt and up his torso. It could feel the coarse white and light brown curls adorning his pecs and tummy. It stopped at his waist as it grasped one side.
"Too angry...for quite some time now..." he dug down his canines on your neck and huffed out a disgruntled whine while clenching his fingers around your firm sides in which he received a shift of your hips at the corners of his, locking them up.
"We could talk about what is bothering you...but I guess you don't want to" a smirk tugged your mouth as he hungrily sucked your neck while his hands wandered to the hem of your boxers going just below the elastic then back up again trailing your faint happy trail with his thumb.
"You are right, I don't want to talk...just...let out some adrenaline if you are ok with that. I hope you are..." he groped at your clothed erection as he locked eye contact, his pupils covering his eye color almost completely as he sat and straddle your lap feeling the prominent bulge under the cotton fabric making contact with his own. If he was honest now...he would've happily rode you and be fucked stupid but that was not in his plans today...yet.
"You wanna be fucked stupid or want to fuck stupid?" you parted your legs more but they were crushed under his weight and his legs too. You did a small roll of them earning a guttural grunt and a lustful look in his eyes, before you eyed at his bulge covered by his pants. "The second one..." his voice was low as he was still half lost in his thoughts.
Hearing that, you gave him a nod with a smirk. He focused his eyes on yours again as that shook him awake, his hands moved automatically as they took off his t-shirt. After a second moment, he lauched himself on your lips devouring them hungrily as he looked like he was being starved for days. He bit and licked them clean for 2 whole minutes not really giving you the time to take in some fresh air. (you didn't want to)
In a sort of way he was. For the last 9 months there hadn't been many occasions to spend time with you as deployments and problems came gushing down all at once and weeks off haven't been even on the to-do list.
He didn't register when he took off your own shirt and flipped you over but he began to bite down on the flesh of your back, scratching it with his nails, without leaving a trail of blood behind but enough to bruise it and mark it. He took a deep breath in the crook of your neck "Sorry for my rough behaviour...I don't know what has gotten into me-" he sounded a bit broken as his emotions were swaying between sadness and neediness and also anger."Don't worry about it and don't apologize, I could sense that you were very tense and angry" you patted his head with one of your hands after rolling on your back to look at his apologetic expression. You gulped down a sorrowful one after understanding the stress he has been going through even though he almost never showed it. You brought your hands to his cheeks and smiled gently and softly telling him that he shouldn't worry now since everything passed, he sighed out and kissed your right hand and leaned into its warm touch.
He laid down on your chest, hugging you tightly, closing his eyes. He felt your scarred fingers carve mindless patterns in his dark brown hair, he finally felt relaxed as you were massaging his neck too, going as far as tracing his spine until your arm couldn't go further and then going back up. After a while, he moved his hands until they were touching the hem of your boxers again, and he pulled them down slowly until only the base was evident, crowned by a well maintened bush.
"Go on, I know that-" "I am fond of this little prick" he smirked as he got on his knees and kissed your pelvis. Soft sighs escaped your parted lips, that area was sensitive as a deep scar left it tender to the touch. You tugged his hair to tell him to go further and he went on, he traced the soft tissue and tossed your underwear away while admiring with lust filled eyes your erection, standing proud and twitching from time to time. Your face was blushing deeply as it was torn between embarrassment and need. He looked at it and smiled before opening a bit his mouth and biting down his tongue, which he used to lick at the base till the red and leaking tip. In a swift move he opened his mouth up and took the redhead in as his tongue gave kitten licks, slowly he worked his way down and then back up again till he arrived at the base.
"You would be one hell of a cockwarmer John, you sure you don't have a second job other than this?" that he didn't respond but you didn't really care, you knew he had been trained only by you and maybe a guy or two previously from your relationship so you already knew the answer. Whimpers and moans met with shallow thrusts were a well deserved reward after he managed to draw an orgasm out with hot streams gushing down his mouth and at the corners of it after he licked it clean.
With a low voice he said a taunting "Yeah, I am fond a lot of this cute little prick-" as he flicked it not too hard, but enough to earn a moan from your mouth and a fat bead of pre to leak out again "as I normally would want it inside me in some other occasion-" he smirked, hiding one of his hands under as his pointer finger prodded at your entrance accompanied by a gasp from you "but right now I don't want it to be that way and so do you-" he sighed regretfully as he reached for the nearby night stand, taking out a tiny bottle of half used lube.
He didn't expect for you to part your legs in response but here you were, sprawled out and looking ready to take whatever he had in mind as you were making shallow thrusts or rolls with your hips to gain more friction. Let's be honest, you trained his throat and he rewarded you with stretching lots of times your hole.
He huffed out a teasing laugh followed with a pityful expression, but it wasn't too late that he was now in only his boxers. "I expect you to be a good boy and take it like a champ, I hate when people fuck things up without any need to do so" he gave a light slap at your hips. As he spoke with his head near yours, his pointer and middle finger slicked their way inside of you helped by the cold lube. His fingers gilded inside easily and grinded on any surface they could catch. You let out sighs and whimpers as you hugged the pillow under your stomach and buried your fucked out expression in it. It felt strange, didn't fuck for months and you felt like a virgin again. Sure you did help yourself sometimes in a way or another but it was only on desperate occasions as you loved much more coming on his dick buried inside you or the other. "Feeling like a virgin again there pup? Realized that you can't cum without using my cock?" fuck he knew. He knew too well, how could he not know? You two have been married for who knows how much.
"Don't worry love- it will pass, like always" at that he pushed in again finally finding that wet bundle of nerves again that made you jolt and shooting out tremors in your spine. He was proud of himself as he now knew he didn't lose his touch. After a few more minutes he took off his underwear and flipped you over. You felt his own erection snuggling itself in the cleft of your ass, it was heavy and it leaked pree. He hugged your waist and aligned himself before thrusting at one go. It was common knowledge to him that you liked pain.
"Well look at yourself, such a good slut for your Captain and husband ready to bend down at every occasion it seems" at the 'bend down' he put his hand on your nape and pushed your head back down on the soft mattress, and your ass up. He began a steady pace as he devoured your toned body with his gaze like a mad and starved man at the sight of food: every cut, every possible stretch mark (if there were) and wounds and that made him close his rational mind in a secluded area of his brain and make the animal one come up. He huffed out a small "untamed little muppet...fucking personal whore" intended to make you hear it but instead he spoke a loud "I wonder what the others will say if they have the possibility to see you like this, should I call them dear?" he smirked, he fucking smirked at that regard as he thrust back harder inside going deeper each time, hitting your g-spot every time with his precise coordination. "Should I let them see how much of a whore you are for your own Captain? Hm? Should I call 'em?" He loved seeing your teary expression and your lips were parted with his fingers inside, keeping every word from coming out and letting only the whines and moans escape.
He sounded like an animal in heat, something that didn't care about anything else other than breeding and passing his genes to the next generation, but could you scold him for that? He was pent up, you were too, and so no, you couldn't. You saw his eyes at the end of every mission that spoke a "I am fucking tired of this shit...make all of this stop", you did all you could to try and sooth his demeanor as your teams have been collaborating in these last months. He sped up, grinding at your arse and not paying attention to your neglected cock, looking red and smeared with pre giving it a slightly glistening appearance. He let out a guttural groan and bit down on your neck telling you to stay in place and don't do anything stupid.
He continued seeking his own release, chasing it like a mad man. His eyes opened again and he came down hard.
In this moment he was now back from reality as he was shaken by your pained expression as he realized you were crying and tapping on his shoulder, he began to stutter and mutter incomprehensible things. "Fuck I- I am sorry I didn't mean to- I" he pulled out instantly rolled you to your side. His heart ached in that moment and he cupped your cheeks with his hands huffing out sorrys after sorrys. "I know you didn't mean to, I know that! But try to be more careful next time...I know you are pent up, we are but try to be rational during this. You had gone so deep it hurt...John...i" "No no It's my fault! Don't say anything" his mind was more calm as he now was out and massaged you to try and sooth his fuck up.
Now there you two were, on your bed with every limb entangled and his nose breathing in your neck. He was exhausted, he didn't mean hurting you but he felt bashful even after you told him it was alright. He looked serene, somewhat relaxed and most importantly content. He was half asleep and so were you but you couldn't help but to give him a goodnight kiss and a tight hug.
He was grateful for having someone like you in his life as your engagement rings were stacked on each other on your bedside table, dimly lit by the warm yellow light of your small lamp.

The Darkest Hour
Ch.3: Personal Reasons
Summary:
After being labeled as crazy for trying to report that robot aliens exist on national television, you lose your job and move to Jasper City. In a drastic turn of fate, you meet Optimus Prime. You and Team Prime get together to find ancient relics that are vital to the Autobot's cause.
Along the way, you and Optimus start to develop feelings that go beyond comradeship.
But what happens when he discovers you've been lying all of this time?
……..
This story is a slow burn. Eventual smut. Optimus develops an unhealthy attachment (he is smitten, obsessed) to you but nothing OOC. Lots of yearning, craving, hurt, betrayal, erotic and that good stuff. Ok bye. In case of any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, requests, etc. You may message me here. Thank you for reading!
For a better reading experience you can read this story on Ao3:

Ch.3: Personal Reasons
"So, one dot and a line is 'A' and a line and three dots is 'B'."
You had spent some time with Bumblebee to realize he was speaking in Morse code. You weren't fluent but you thought that studying and learning it should help you become more proficient.
The base is quieter than usual. Everyone but Ratchet was out on a mission to gather Energon. He is always working, you haven't seen him take a break from his enormous computer or what you assumed to be one. That's what you called it because you couldn't find a better word to describe it. Probably a Cybertronian data screen was a better option.
"So, have you found out the function of the ancient relic?"
You walk towards him on the platform. He didn't spare you a single second and kept typing.
"No, but I believe is part of something bigger," Ratchet says as he seems to be reading a scan. "A map may be."
"Interesting," you try to peak on his screen although you know that you won't understand any of it.
"When I was looking over the codes, it didn't say anything about a map. Although I haven't checked the rest of the documents for more information."
"How was a human like you able to decipher ancient codes that led to Cybertronian relics?
You didn't like the sound of the voice, as it belittled you. Thinking about it for two seconds, you decided to give it a pass. You didn't know if he asked out of genuine curiosity or because he was trying to satisfy his superiority complex.
"I don't read Cybertronian but there were some pictures I was able to figure out. After that, it wasn't that difficult really," you remember seeing a few paintings and historical places on the documents provided to you by your government insider. All of them have an inner message related to space.
"But it's understandable if a Cybertronian can't figure it out. The codes are centered on Earth's nearby celestial bodies. You know, like stars, constellations, comets, meteors, planets."
"That's ... interesting," his tone simulates yours. "If these are Cybertronian relics then why made the codes for something only humans can understand?"
"Well, maybe what we are looking for is not meant to be found by the transformers."
"Maybe, but we should find all the relics before jumping to conclusions," he finally, turns to look at you. A sign to tell you that what he is saying is important. "And find them quickly before the Decepticons find out what we are doing."
"Then we should head out soon."
"This would be easier if the ground bridge was working," Ratchet turns to look at his side. You follow, noticing an arc made of metal. It didn't look like much but according to the doctor bot, it allows travel through the entire Earth in seconds.
"But I've been having trouble trying to fix it."
"At this point, I'll just have to fly myself out there."
"Wait, you can fly?"
He asks with such more genuineness that you find it adorable.
"I mean as taking an airplane."
Ratchet vents heavily, he was disappointed at your answer.
"Well, meanwhile I try to work on the ground bridge. Maybe you can head out with the rest to the second closet location from here."
On the data-screen, a location appears. A relic seems to be inside the Big Bend National Park in Texas. It will take roughly a day to get to oil land.
"Just let me know so I can ask for a few days off work. Although I wish I could help more."
You were never one to stay still in one place. Especially when you see Ratchet working so relentlessly and everyone is out there probably fighting the bad guys.
"If you want to be more efficient, why don't you quit your job and stay here?"
How easy would that be? To just give up and live a life full of excitement and adventures with the Autobots. But you had a rare sense of justice. Within you, it was your duty to tell the truth to the people. They were the lie and you had to expose them. And of course ... getting a little praise on the way.
"Because I need money to buy food. I'll die if I don't eat."
This was also true. It would be hard for him to believe you if you weren't being fully honest.
"If your kind needs 'food' to survive ... Why do you need to work to gain it? Shouldn't it be easily accessible? Free perhaps?"
"Yes, but our civilization is not as advanced with such concepts," you loved changing topics and also seeing the perspective of humans in another species' eyes ... or better say optics.
"How barbaric," Ratchet intonates his voice, it was rather comical to you.
"Agreed."
After a few minutes, you hear the sound of car engines approaching. You look at where the sound is coming from and certainly, the Autobots started showing up.
They transform back to their normal form, standing tall and well beyond 30 feet. You see them more often now but you are still fascinated by them.
Everyone gives you a look, acknowledging your presence.
"How was it?" Ratchet asks. He sees them coming in empty-handed and has already expected an answer. But he asked for more details than results.
"We couldn't find anything," Bulkhead's voice is tired. You didn't even know how that was possible, supposing the machines don't get tired. But you have to remind yourself that they are living creatures. Not things.
"We are running out of Energon reserves."
"What about you? Please tell us some good news," Arcee asks as she looks over to Ratchet.
"Tragically, I have none," Ratchet says, taking the time to step aside from his work to talk to the group. "The groundbringe still needs to be worked on."
Everyone waited for Optimus' orders. After a few moments, he speaks.
"Due that we are low on Energon reserves, (Y/N) and I will search for the next relic. Everyone else shall stay here and continue on the search for Energon."
"The closest relic is one day away," Ratchet looks at his data-screen where a blue dot stands out on the map. "So we better find some Energon by the time you come back."
"I am counting on you."
The Autobots don't say a word. They never needed to in order to understand each other. They can't fail.
.
.
.
You type furiously on your computer as Optimus keeps driving. The are a few bumps on the road, the movement makes your screen shake. It made writing and reading difficult. Your head is starting to hurt for staring too long at the screen but you can't stop.
"You seem distracted."
Optimus voice interrupts your process but you don't take off your eyes from the screen.
"I asked four days off work to come. I've been missing a lot and the only way they would approve my PTO is if I finish two scripts and upload it by tonight."
The next relic should be found in Texas, which is around a day from Nevada without stopping. Yet, you are a bit worried about the bot. You don't know if Optimus gets tired and you wanted to suggest resting somewhere in the woods so he could rest ... or re-charge.
"If you so wished, you could have stayed at the base. You didn't have to come."
He is right. The coordinates of the relic had already been figured out.
"And become more useless than I already am?" you proofread your script. See a couple of mistakes and a few sentences that didn't sound right. You quickly click on the back-space, deleting your previous work. Who would have thought that writing about a grandma turning one hundred could be so difficult?
"Besides, trucks have stops and inspections. What will the transportation officers say when they see an 18-wheeler driving by itself?"
You were so engrossed that Optimus' silence went unnoticed. As you finished writing your script and clicking on the period key, you looked up and noticed the road in front of you. It's starting to get dark. Then you turn to look to the co-pilot seat.
There, you find a young man around your age. Dark blue hair, ocean-eyes. Wearing a white shirt with a denim jacket. He doesn't smile but stares intensely at you.
You scream and throw your computer at him.
"PRIME THERE IS AN UGLY MAN INSIDE!"
The man caught the computer and looks at you with a confused face.
"This is my human hologram form," Optimus says, putting a hand on his chest. You were so used to hearing his voice on his robot or car form that watching it coming from a human version feels strange. "This is the form I use in case I am stopped by the authorities."
You reach out a hand, thinking your hand would go through him. It was not the case as you touched his shoulder. Grasping it so tightly, the clothes felt real. He almost did. But he feels cold and doesn't breathe. His chest nor shoulders move up and down. And his posture is too straight to be that of a human.
This once again reminded you that Cybertronian technology was millions ahead compared to Earth's which was primitive. To them, this was a simple 'hologram' because there wasn't a better word for your species to understand it. To you, this kind of technology was just beyond comprehension.
"If you have this hologram then why keep using cars as a disguise? Wouldn't this be a better way to blend in with our civilization?"
You reach out to take your laptop and take it from the grasp of the hologram quickly. Somehow you trusted Optimus' robotic version more than this hologram man.
"We can only use these holograms within 100 meters of our actual being," Optimus says. "Or if we have someone or something with a transmitter being kept at a close distance."
"I see," you give the hologram a stinky eye and Optimus wonders the reason behind your cold demeanor towards him. "Can you put him back? I like you much more as you actually are."
In the blink of an eye, the hologram disappears and you feel relieved. You didn't notice it but you feel the air of the vents touch your cheeks more strongly.
You were about to go back to work when you heard your stomach make embarrassing sounds. You were hungry, you hadn't eaten all day.
"Hey, Prime, can we make a stop?"
.
.
.
The gas station wasn't the nicest. It smells like piss. But there were burritos and against your lack of better judgment and hunger, you decide to buy one with egg filling. You looked around the store and bought some car stuff just in case Optimus was hungry. He couldn't possibly just drink Energon ... right?
You walk with a plastic bag and a burrito in hand. Opening the door to get inside Optimus' vehicle form. You close the door so no one can hear you talking to 'yourself.'
"Did you find everything you needed?" Optimus asks, anxious to get back on the road.
"Yes, and I also brought you some stuff."
Carelessly, you move the plastic bag upside down, the items falling down on the co-pilot seat.
"I got you oil from all kinds of brands." You also bought a lemon car air freshener. You stood up from your seat and put it in Optimus' rear mirror. "Pick your poison."
You sit back down while taking a big bite of your burrito.
"My apologies but if I were to drink oil, it would impair my ability to drive."
"How? I thought oil was good for cars," you chew into the food, tasting the egg and something else. Another ingredient you didn't ask for.
"Oil is good for maintenance but if we drink large quantities of it, our processor can become disoriented and there can be certain impairment in some functions-"
As Optimus continues talking, you spit the food in your mouth into your hand. On it, you could see scrambled eggs and pieces of steak. Steak that was still too pink for your liking and could still taste the blood on your tongue.
You open Optimus' door and run to the nearest trashcan. Vomiting what you just had and the entire of yesterday's dinner. It wasn't just that the food disgusted you, but the memories that were brought back were still too present. The smell of burned skin. It's as if you've gone back there. The screams, the death, the blood ... The blood in your hands was still too real for it not to affect you.
All the while, the Autobot leader watched, concerned for your safety and most importantly curious about what could make someone like you falter in such ways.
.
.
.
Optimus didn't want to stop, he tried to hide his disappointment but you just knew he was.
He stopped somewhere in the middle of the woods. There was enough space for him to mass-shift back into his regular size. You saw him stretch and move around, it must feel nice to rest after a whole day of driving.
He watched you as you meticulously built up a small bonfire for you. Pulling a 'camping bed roll' and laying it on the grass. You could feel his optics on you. He doesn't even try to hide it. Staring was rude on Earth but you doubted the same thing applied on Cybertron.
"If you want to say something, say it already."
You finished smoking a cigarette and threw the rest of the butt into the bonfire. Sitting on your camping bed, you had also bought a few crackers, chocolate and marshmallows to make s'mores.
"I do not wish for my words to cause you discomfort."
Prime sits a few meters away from you. His back rested against a large trunk tree.
"It causes me discomfort that you keep looking at me," you also didn't want to talk about what happened but you knew Optimus would always think about it every time he saw you. The thought annoyed you, you didn't want him to see you as weak. "You may be a bot but I can tell by your ... Optics that you want to ask something."
Your eyes lay on him. There is a stern expression. Of concern? Curiosity? Pity? All of them three? You couldn't tell and it bothered you.
"Let me guess, it's about me throwing up the burrito right?" you inwardly laugh. Now that you look back, it was so stupid.
"You must be thinking, what kind of person vomits because of a gas station burrito?"
"But it's more common than you think!" you already had a lie planned out. You weren't stupid enough to tell the truth. You didn't trust him. "It just tasted really bad and I don't eat meat. Made me lose my appetite."
To have PTSD because of a steak burrito was not on your to-do list for today. It was ridiculous and stupid. You can usually stand it when you see raw meat but having a taste of it is completely different. You feel pathetic for letting Optimus see you that way.
"I thought most humans enjoyed meat and other types of protein," he wasn't going to let go of the subject too easily. "Why are you different from them?"
"... Personal reasons?"
You didn't think he would care enough to ask any further.
"Personal ... reasons?" he asks, there is confusion in his tone.
"Yes."
"I don't think I understand."
"Well, it's kinda like," you look around and from your marshmallow bag, you take out two marshmallows. "Let's say you are dating someone and then you break up with them."
You move the marshmallows, pretending that they are people. Giving them life by creating a story of them. You put them together and then pull them apart, make them walk and fall.
"Then, I ask why you broke up the relationship and you say personal reasons"
You look up at the metal titan in front of you, he seems more amused by the marshmallows than what you are saying.
"That's like a cue for me to not ask any further questions because you are not ready or you don't want to talk about it," you throw one marshmallow into your mouth, enjoying the softness of it, "It's like a human social cue."
"What is dating?"
Questions and more questions. You would be annoyed but Optimus seems so genuinely curious that you couldn't deny him.
"Well, like," you try to look for the right words but explaining the concept of dating to an alien life was more complicated than you thought. "It's kinda like the time you spend with someone before deciding if you want to spend the rest of your life with them."
Optimus takes a few seconds to process your words.
"I see. Humans and Cybertronians differ on mating rituals."
You didn't like the word 'mating' since it was a term mostly used on animals. But now that you think about it, a robotic alien from a species that had evolved for millions of years may see you as an animal. Either that or he couldn't find a better word.
Nonetheless, the words made you question something. You look up and down at Optimus. Everything seems mechanical to you. Nothing 'natural' about him. But even so, you knew he was a biological begin.
"I hope I am not crossing the line but how exactly do Cybertronians ... reproduce?"
"Reproduce?"
You try to think of another word. From what you can see, Cybertronians don't have any reproductive organs, at least none you can see from the outside. The word 'reproduce' may be foreign to Optimus for that reason.
"As in create a new life?"
He takes a few seconds as if he were thinking of a simple way to explain things to you. You didn't feel offended, on the contrary, you could sympathize. It was difficult to explain to another species how humans work.
"On Cybertron, Sparkmates can build a Sparkling if they so wish. It is a very arduous process but after the construction is done, Primus may bestow a small part of the AllSpark into the transformer and so they come online."
A lot of those terms you didn't understand. But what you could conclude is that the process may be religious, more of a ritual than a natural phenomenon.
"It sounds complicated."
"It is a very hazardous, challenging and exhausting activity," Optimus says as he looks at you and then at the night sky. "But there's also beauty in it."
You take the freedom to look at him. He didn't have eyes as you know but his optics are expressive. Maybe it's the thing you liked the most about him. His optics never lied, it was easy to read and there is some logging in them that almost made you ...
"What about humans?" he looks back at you, unaware of your strange thoughts. "How do humans come to life?"
You look back at your ingredients. Picking up a marshmallow and a stick, you decided these two would be the characters of your story.
"Well, when a man and a woman really ... really love each other," you feel like you are explaining this to a kid but you try to make it as simple as possible.
"They become intimate," you put the stick inside the marshmallow. You take it out and put it in again, in a back-and-forth movement. After a few seconds, you look at Optimus who seems confused. You stop. Maybe you need to be more blunt with him, after all, he was a million-years-old alien robot. Embarrassment may not even be a concept to him.
"And nine months later a baby ... umm a very small human comes out of the woman's belly."
Optimus left the comfort of his seat to move closer to you. His faceplate was so close that you hear his vents and engines move. His optics showed such amusement that you would have allowed him to explore more of you just to satisfy his curiosity.
"Humans have the ability to create life?" Optimus looks at you with awe, his voice softer than usual. "You can give life to a sentient being, with emotions, dreams and hopes? Whenever you wish?"
"Well, I would need a partner first but yes."
After finally taking a deep look at you, he steps back and lays his back on the grass. Laying flat on the ground and having a front view of the night sky with its stars and moon.
"What a great power. Your gods must have certainly loved you to have given you such virtue."
Being able to reproduce another living being was a normal concept for humans. You never consider how difficult must it be for other alien species to conceive life. Especially for those that live millions of years. Humans have a short lifespan compared to that of a Cybertronian. There is no need for them to constantly be having children ... Or Sparklings as they say. Evolution had played them dirty, especially now. That's if they ever plan to repopulate their home planet.
"I wonder ... Since your kind has the ability to create life," Optimus speaks out loud although he seems to be talking to himself more than to you.
"If a Cybertronian and a human were to be intimate as you put it, would a new type of life be born?"
"I think it's more complicated than that-"
"How do your species become intimate?"
The marshmallow and stick explanation didn't work. You open your mouth just to close it again. It's not like it bothered you talking about sex but it wasn't like you were about to open up Pornhub and show Optimus a video. You just find it difficult to explain. It's not like you could say 'penis goes inside vagina' because Optimus would ask 'What is a penis? What is a vagina?'
Maybe it will be easier to explain it in his terms or in a way he can relate. You decide to ignore his question first in hopes that you can answer it later after he responds to you.
"How do Cybertronians become 'Sparkmates'?"
"Sparkmates are extremely rare. In my years I've only met five. There should be more but the war has lasted many eons and there are few of us now," the more Optimus talks, the more you realize that he isn't the quiet type at all. The right questions always make him talk.
"From what I've heard and read, Sparkmates could recognize one another and immediately Sparkbond as a sign of affection."
"Sparkbond?"
"A sacred ritual only reserved for Sparkmates. It is taboo for Cybertronians who weren't Sparkmates to Sparkbond," he continues to talk. You wonder if he is talking because he enjoys it or because he doesn't want to be rude and tell you to shut up.
"But myths say that it is ... an indescribable experience. Even if I wanted to share this information with you, I am unable to ."
"Interesting," you are relieved to know that you weren't the only one having trouble explaining relationships.
"Humans are not like that. We can become intimate whenever we want. Even if we don't love or have feelings for the person we are intimate with."
"Cybertronians also enjoy other means of intimacy," he says as you finally rest on your camp bed, laying flat, looking at the same night sky as Optimus and a belly full of smores. "Most enjoy it with a recreational means."
This sparks your curiosity.
"So ... What other ways can Cybertronians be intimate?
You don't look at him but wait for an answer that never comes.
"I am not certain if that's a proper subject to speak with a lady."
"Oh, come on!" you decide to share some human information, maybe that would encourage Optimus to speak more. "Humans really ... really enjoy intimacy. It gives us pleasure. We actually need to feel a lot of pleasure in order to conceive life. Is it the same for you guys?"
"We do possess the software and right circuits that allow us to process touch and pleasure."
By the way he doesn't dare to look at you, you can tell he is flustered. You are happy to know that Cybertronians can feel embarrassed. Maybe you two aren't so different after all.
"All Cybertronians have different tension points and if caressed properly then ..."
Optimus stops speaking for a few seconds. You don't know if its the archivist in him, with so much knowledge that it's begging to be shared. Or if it is the reporter in you that wants to know more than you somehow find a way to get the answers you need.
"Then?"
The leader of the Autobots stays silent, debating whether or not to proceed.
"I wish to not speak of this further."
"Please, Prime, continue! You were just getting to the good part!"
"Please respect my wishes."
"Fine, fine," you say, quickly thinking of a better question. "But tell me, have you ever been engaged in this type of recreational intimacy?
You pay attention to his faceplate and although he has no clear expression, you notice his cheeks become slightly blue.
"OH, YOU HAVE!" you didn't need an answer anymore, you knew. "Tell me, how was it?! Was she beautiful?"
"I wish to recharge now."
He doesn't deny it and this further proves your conclusion.
"Tell me, please! I am so curious now about alien sex."
"Sex?" his voice is genuinely curious. "What is that?"
"You know what, I suddenly became sleepy too," you put a small blanket over your body, no longer wanting to explain the whole act of human reproduction anymore.
"Let's call it a night shall we?"
"But I wish for you to tell me more about this sex you speak of."
You close your eyes, ignoring his request.
"Goodnight, Prime."

Big Bend National Park in Texas probably has one of the best views of the Milky Way in the USA.
Ever since arriving on Earth, Optimus hasn't had the time to do any exploring as he would like. Free time is never really on his schedule but he finds himself enjoying this time with you.
You had expressed to him the desire to stay a couple more days. Deep down, he also wished he could relax and drive into the distance. He almost wanted to say yes but you had quickly interrupted him, saying that you had work and couldn't afford to lose any more days.
The two of you had to walk on top of a mountain. Mostly, he walked a couple of steps up while carrying you on his right servo.
Optimus looked around the area and then at the sky. He looked up while you looked down. He knows he should be paying more attention, especially when you insist on being the one to scratch the ground with a shovel. He had offered to do it but according to you, he was too brusque and might break the delicate artifact.
He wasn't so sure of that. But he assumed that you felt more inclined to offer your help because you didn't want to feel useless and he wasn't one to want to diminish your efforts.
"There is an ancient story about how the Milky Way formed."
Optimus was so concentrated on looking at the stars that he didn't notice that you had started shoveling.
"A very long time ago, a heavenly god had a beautiful daughter, a princess. She fell in love with a farmer. The farmer also loved the princess."
You continued to talk while shoveling, your voice was agitated and Optimus felt the need to do the job himself. But the last thing he wants is to make you feel unneeded.
"But the heavenly god did not approve of it so he cut off the sky in half. The farmer stayed on one side and the princess stayed on the other. They could never see each other again."
Still, your voice sounds excited. Is excavating that much fun to you? Or was it the story you were telling? Either way, he couldn't tell. But he enjoyed watching you do both.
"The princess would do nothing but cry. Seeing her sorrow, the heavenly god came to a conclusion."
Then, you had come to a stop. He seems some awkwardness in your face. Confusion and uneasiness. Something that is not very familiar to you. But you were pretending not to be.
"I am sorry, I am talking too much. This must be boring-"
He can't believe that he has been paying more attention to you than the story you were sharing with him. A sense of guilt and shame felt heavy on his spark. Was it the stars? Your strange body that he was so unknown to? Otherwise, Optimus can't understand why he would be so fascinated with the scene unfolding in front of him.
"No," he says, walking closer to you. He kneels to listen more closely. "Please, continue."
Seeing his interest, you continued with the last part of the story.
"He will allow his daughter to meet with the farmer once a year. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, a flock of magpies forms a bridge, allowing the lovers to reunite for a single day."
He waits for you to continue and then realizes that you have finished your story. With an ending he did not like.
"That god is cruel. Is there anything we can do to help?"
"It's not a real story," you stop shoveling for a second to look at him. Although the night is cold by human standards, you still manage to sweat. A condition that is extremely foreign to him but he finds it fascinating. The fact that you are able to produce a water-like substance out of your skin is astonishing.
"It's fiction. It gives us an explanation of how the Milky Way was created and it's about the message."
"It's a tragic tale with a tragic ending," he says abruptly, showing his clear distaste for the conclusion. "I do not understand the kind of morale this story is trying to convey."
You stand in front of him. His optics allowed him to study you. Your chest moves up and down. You blink constantly. Your hair moves with the wind and your face wrinkles when you talk. There's not a single part of your body that it's not expressive.
Little by little, Optimus understood why the human poets and artists were so enchanted by the beauty of the human body.
"I think it means that to love is to suffer and suffering can be beautiful."
By Primus, he could have sworn he felt a glitch in his spark. A feeling that lasted less than a millisecond but one he will crave for all of eternity.
"It's a part of life. You can't feel happy unless you experience sadness first," you go back to shoveling, the ground around you has become deeper. Optimus wonders how much longer you will last until you give up and finally ask him for help. He needs to help you.
"And besides the star-crossed lovers can still meet."
"Soon?"
You stop again to look at the watch in your hand. Then you go back to work.
"Right now actually."
Instinctively, Optimus looks up at the dark sky to see falling stars and comets. The milkway splits the black mantle of the night.
"I do not see any birds."
He hears a sound. Like a soft and strange melody, delicate but sweet. It's the first time he hears you laugh.
"Did I say something amusing?"
"Don't mind me. I am just indulging," you say, still giggling a little bit. "You know, the more I get to know you, the more I see why you would be popular with the ladies."
"I- Umm-"
He wants to say something, to say more of him. To share things that will make him look more ... capacitated.
"Prime! I think I found it! The relic!"
You use your hands to get rid of the dust of the white pot. Taking a step aside, Optimus is glad to finally help you.Using two of his digits, he pulls the white pot from the ground, easily. It's not big but rather heavy for you. He is surprised that something made for Cybertronians could be this small.
"Mission accomplished," he says. "Let's get back to base."
.
.
.
The last thing you expected to see when you came back to base was to see three kids.
Well, two teenagers and one kid to be specific.
The Autobots had embarrassed looks on their face. Optimus was as unreadable as always. That made the situation even more uncomfortable.
"I departed for three days and returned to find ... small humans," Optimus observes the bots and the three other humans who look a bit scared. "Should I be concerned?"
Arcee steps in, knowing that she is the best to explain the situation.
"We were on a mission to retrieve Energon when we accidentally stumble upon the humans and they got tangled in our affairs with the Decepticons," Arcee says. "Agent Fowler was called and he gave us the order to guard these humans in the meantime."
Optimus stays silent.
"And the energon?"
"We now have enough stored for a couple of months."
He vents heavily and nods slightly.
"Very well then. I approve of Agent Fowler's decision."
Arcee then takes a step back and looks at the kids. She raises a servo, fully open. Not pointing but rather softly signaling.
"Jack, Raf, Miko," Arcee points to each of them for Optimus to learn their names, so do you. "Meet Optimus Prime, Leader of the Autobots."
"Hello."
"Hi."
"Hey."
Optimus kneels in front of the kids, taking a closer look at them. Memorizing their faces and names. Their appearances gave him a little hint of what their personalities would be like. He liked that, he wouldn't struggle too much to read them as compared to you.
"We have as well completed our mission smoothly," Optimus stands up and moves aside, leaving you exposed to the rest as you were kinda hiding behind his pedes. Next to you the relic that was safely stored inside the white pot.
"Old friend," now Optimus re-directs his attention to Ratchet. "Have you made any advances in discovering information about the relics?"
"No, tragically," Ratchet steps aside from his workstation to show the group the data he has collected so far about the first collected relic. "Good news is that Raf helped me fix the ground bridge so now we can collect the other relics across the globe."
"Very well then, the more pieces we have of this puzzle, the more we are closer to the truth-"
"Wait, is that (y/n) from Jasper TV News?"
Raf interrupts Optimus although there wasn't any malice from it. More curious than anything and excited.
You wave, still not liking the attention but you are not going to be mean about it.
"My mom is a fan of yours! She loves watching the news," Raf says as he gets closer to you. "Wait, what are you doing here?"
"I have my own shenanigans," you didn't want to tell the entire story, not wanting to divulge your bad behavior. "Long story short, I was in the wrong place, wrong time. Prime came to save me."
"So is Optimus like your robot guardian?"
"Guardian? Please, it's me the one who takes care of him."
You turn to look up at him, trying to tease him and get his approval.
"She does."
You weren't expecting him to answer but you are happy he played along.
"But I won't be here for a couple of days so maybe you three can take of him for me."
This time you look at the other two teens behind Raf who smile to greet you.
"Where will you be going?"
"Work," you say, your voice showing your clear disappointment. "Someone has to report the news and I haven't been attending to it lately."
You turn to face the Autobots.
"Now if it's not too much to ask ... can I get a ride back home?"
"I can take you home if so you wish," Optimus offers but you didn't want to bother him any longer.
"You've driven so much already, I think it's better if you rest."
Then, you hear beeping sounds. It was Bumblebee who had transformed into his vehicle form, opening the door for you to get in. You walk towards him, a bit excited to ride a nice-looking car.
"If you guys really need me, you can text me," you stand in front of the door, ready to hop in. "But besides that, I'll be drowning in work so please don't look for me."
There was some truth to that but you actually wanted some private time so you could write in your journal everything you learned on this trip. From the relic to Cybertronian reproduction. Everything was worth reporting.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
You raised your right hand, giving everyone a clear view of your palm. Waving your hand side to side. Bulkhead and the kids wave back to you while Arcee gives you an acknowledging look. Ratchet doesn't even bother, too indulged in his work and Optimus doesn't say a word.
You hop into Bumblebee as he closes the door.
Everyone watches as you and Bee head into the tunnel to leave the base.
Bulkhead and Arcee walked around the base and showed it to the kids. While Ratchet kept on with his work and Optimus just stared into the distance.
Although Ratchet was too focused on the screen in front of him, he could sense Optimus' presence still in the same room.
It was quiet and to Ratchet this was a bit strange. He looks at the back and finds Optimus still staring into the tunnel. His optics are heavy on him, that look on his friend's faceplate is not unknown to him but it's been eons ago since he saw it.
Optimus walks past the white pot uncarefully, making it spin, almost fall and break. He didn't seem to notice but Ratchet did.
"Did you see that?"
Ratchet asks pointing at the pot that thankfully did not shatter.
"Yes," Optimus says. "Her hands were damaged. Probably due to the excavation she did with the shovel. I should've had helped."
Optimus didn't see it before but your palms were swollen, pink and with a flew blisters and scratches. For a human with a soft skin like yours it must be painful to have.
"No, Optimus," Ratchet is now concerned. "The relic. Be careful."
Optimus looks at his side where the clay pot is extremely close to his pede. He took a few steps back, showing his clear confusion.
"My apologies, I'll be more careful."
Ratchet continues to look at the Autobot leader, wondering how or why he seems distracted. It's unaccustomed for a Prime to act in such ways but Ratchet couldn't completely be mad at him. He sometimes tends to forget that Optimus used to be more than a Prime and it was moments like this when he could see who Orion Pax used to be.

Every day is harder for you to get out of bed but you remind yourself that you need to go work. Tragically, you are not rich nor have anything to your name just a car you were able to pay off. A reporter's salary isn't great but it's not bad either. Maybe if you worked hard enough you will be able to afford to buy a house. A very small one.
You got out of the house, make-up and outfit ready. You weren't one to wear make-up in the office but today you were going to be live on television, reporting an increase in illegal car racing. Not something you were particularly interested in but you would take that any day over-reporting insignificant lifestyle.
You get into your car, put the tote bag in the co-pilot seat and close the door. You take your bag again, making sure everything is in there. Laptop, make-up bag, cigarettes, lighter, wallet.
Your phone is missing.
You sigh heavily and take off the seat belt, trying to open the door only to realize you can't.
"Don't worry darling, whatever you need, you won't need it where we are heading."
And that's when you realize that this isn't your car.
Once again, you will be missing work.

A/N: Slowburn who? I don't think Reader and Optimus have feelings for each other yet but rather is a fascination for each other species. I think both Reader and Optimus are curious by nature and I think that's why they get along well so far.
If I am completely honest, I am not sure how this story will continue. I just know how I want to end it but it's a matter to get there. Of course, I want to implement some ideas I've had for a while into the story but I want to make it as smoothly as possible without things feeling rushed or making it seem like things happened out of nowhere.
Although I feel like things have strangely improved between Reader and Optimus and it's just the third chapter. So I don't know, I'll see how this story progresses. I've written really long slowburn fanfics before but for some reason I only see this story being around 50k-60k words in total. Which for me, that's a rather short fic.
I definitely want to explore more of Optimus character and mostly importantly, I want him to be able to feel. He may never act upon his feelings but he still feels. Some emotions maybe unknown to him so he may lash or act in certain ways.
I still don't know if I want reader to fall in love first just for Optimus to reject her and through the story we see her moving on and improving as a person (cause reader still has a skewed way look at the world and she is lying to the autobots) and as she moves on and dates other people, Optimus realizes he loves her and he gets angry and annoyed because he starts to have ill feelings like jealousy, rage, confusion, uneasiness and he feels all of that because of you. And of course one day he can't control it anymore and he angrily confesses your love for you under the rain? ( ok I might be making this part up haha)
But anyways, I think y'all get my point.
In the next chapter, I would also like to talk more about the reader and her past. I think she's rather interesting. Not bad but not good either. Her views about life changed and from being someone full of hope she became kinda pessimistic ... maybe Optimus can help her see the good side of life again.
Thank you again to anyone who took the time to read this chapter. I apologize for any mistakes but I don't really proofread since I don't have time. I wrote this while at work actually, haha.
Thank you and see you on the next chapter!

OK, I liked writing the last one so much I wrote another dumb little mirrorverse fic. This one’s a bit spicier than the other, but nothing that goes against Tumblr terms of service. again, sorry for any typos
Romantic relationship: fresh x greaser x lust
CW: arousal, possession, loss of control, and of course: 
(sorry I’ve been wanting to use that gift forever)
Anyways, here it is

You’re enjoying this a bit much, aren’t you?
The doctor taped his pen against his clipboard. Unsure of what to do. “Hey baby doll~ need somethin?” Called his lab assistant. Greaser sans was tall compared to the doctor, yet he and his other partner still called him— “ah, Lab Rat… yes I am in need of something”
“What can I help ya with?” He said, sitting down backwards on a near by chair. Leaning against it’s headboard. “I don’t have enough data on fresh’s possession ability to form a proper hypothesis for this particular scenario…” he rubbed his chin, before glancing to his assistant and looking him up and down. A devious grin growing on his face “But… I know where I can get some~”
The doctor called fresh into the testing chambers, before telling him and rat of his plans…
“You w-want him to posses… me??” Greater stammered “precisely~” replied doc. “With you as a willing participant, I could collect much more data before separation. And you and fresh could spend some… quality time, together~” greaser’s blue blush flared as fresh put a hand on his shoulder. “Chillax broski! It’ll be rad!”
Fresh stretched his arms above his head. “So when do we do we start?” The doctor began taking notes “whenever you’re both ready~” fresh smiled and looked over to rat, cupping his face in one hand. His other hand slid down his own throat, pulling up a single writhing purple parasite. Fresh held in over the other’s face, as to drop it in his mouth. “Open wide~” he cooed.
Grease was shaking in his boots. His normal witty banter falling completely silent as he looked up at the parasite above him. Fresh’s face went from satisfied to concerned and contemplative. Before he let go of rat’s face and dropped the parasite on the floor. The purple star crawling back in through Fresh’s pant leg “this don’t feel right… “ he said, tapping his foot. “Heya doc!” He called “yes fresh?” The doctor replied
“Would it mess up yo research if I was the one to get in there?” Questioned the colony. “and… What do you mean by that?” Fresh looked to rat and bent down to meet their eyes. Staring deep into their soul. “I want in there… no arms. Me.” The authority in Fresh’s voice sent a shiver of anticipation through greaser. Doc taped his pen to his chin. Before a look of realization bloomed on his face “you… want to posses him with your core instead of one of your arms…?”
“Bingo!” Fresh replied. Complete with finger guns.
“You’ve never shown interest in something like that before…” replied doc. “Heh, yeah…” fresh cupped greasers face with his hand again. “Never had someone interest me like this till now…” at this point, greasers entire face is glowing bright blue. Causing doc to chuckle at the site. He gave a warm smile to his partners, happy to see them so infatuated with each other. “Yes fresh… this will affect my research. But seeing as you also have an interest in this Avenue, I believe it will be valuable nonetheless. So we shall proceed.”
Fresh pumped his fist in the air and moved to the center of the room. He spread his arms wide and took a deep breath, before his body seemed to disintegrate, leaving a pile of parasites where he once stood. The parasites crawled away into the containers lining the walls built just for them. Eventually, all that was left, lying on the floor, was the biggest parasite.
The creature’s eye soon snapped open, zeroed in on greaser. “T-thats still him..?” Rat managed to choke out. “Yes. That is the hive’s core. Think of it as a queen bee. It’s the glue that holds the rest of the colony together.” The doctor replied. Rat looked between fresh and doc before stammering “w-what now?” Doc chuckled under his breath “simply approach whenever you are ready~”
Greaser looked to the floor, slowly creeping towards the parasite. “H-hey doll… it’s me! You can see me.. r-right?” But before he could form another thought, the star leaped at rat’s face, knocking him onto is back.
Greaser grabbed at fresh, rolling around like he was on fire. “Let him in, sweetheart~ I can’t do any testing if you resist~” doc reminded him. Rat remembered the thing on his face was his friend, his partner, and tried to relax. The parasite weaseled its way into his mouth, and down his non-existent throat. Causing the other to choke and gag.
In an instant, greaser felt as if he was being embraced on all sides. Every part of him held close, as fresh wrapped himself around rat’s soul. Grease began to quiver, eye lights going wide under his sunglasses. Pure euphoria coursed through his veins as what felt like a kiss was pressed into his very being. Rat let out a small wine as fresh took over. A puff of rainbow smoke engulfing his body.
Greaser awoke in is own mind. It felt as if he was floating in a void. He could see through is eyes, but he couldn’t move. couldn’t speak. Yet he felt so… safe. It still felt as if he was being hugged form all angles. An embrace so close that two became one. Loosing control… it felt… good. Less like a forceful eviction, and more Like his partner gently pulling him to the side, kissing him, and saying “don’t worry my love. I’ll take it from here.”
Rat relaxed in is mind scape. Metaphysical eyes rolling back in his head as he soked in fresh’s intent
Your mine/can’t escape/part of the swarm/part of me
Doc coughed on the smoke, waving his hand in front of his face. As greaser stood, the smoke cleared. Reviling his new appearance. The possessed rat shot the doctor a pair of finger guns“Hey-o baby! How’s ma favorite doc doin?” The doctor chuckled at Fresh’s advance. “Doing wonderfully sweat heart~ how do you feel?”
“Radder then eva broski!” And the doctor could tell. As sparks of magic, usually reserved for if monsters showed affection (hugging, kissing, purring), were shooting off greaser’s body at an almost alarming rate. As if his test subject’s entire existence as an act of love. And it was.
“Alright you two… it’s time to get to work~” doc said with a mischievous grin. The doctor ran a full physical on the fused pair. Along side some strength and magic tests. In all It took just about two hours to collect all the data doc wanted.
Greaser sat on an examination table as doc jotted down some final notes. “Now then… that is more then enough for today. Boys…” doc glanced to fresh and rat, before pausing. Examining the two. Fresh rubbed grease’s thighs together impatiently. Their ecto drenched in sweat. And the way they looked- no- stared at him. Even through their glasses, it was a look lust knew well. “My my~” he began “you two are enjoying this quiet a bit… aren’t you~”
Greaser screamed out from within his mind. YES. GOD YES. He was enjoying every moment of this connection more than anything he ever had before. The feeling of being engulfed in someone else’s intent. The feeling of fresh gently moving his body for him. It felt like he was in heaven. Fresh was enjoying this too. The feeling of power, of control… but most tantalizing, trust. Greaser truly trusted him with his body. A sensation fresh rarely if ever felt from his hosts. The words spilled from their mouth as they were lost in each other. “Absolutely~”
Doc’s smile grew as he stepped forward, placing a hand on their partners face. His thumb rubbed their cheek. “Well then… I believe another type of testing is in order… wouldn’t you say~” both fresh a greaser salivated at the idea “Of corse!!” They blurted out.
Lust backed away, setting down his clipboard. His voice was silken and sweet “Follow me~” he said. Gesturing towards the door. Fresh and greaser hoped off the table and ran after the doctor. Lust slipping off his lab coat and hanging it up as they left. After exiting the laboratory, they moved into their shared bedroom at the end of the hall.
They had the whole night to themselves. And they were gonna make it count.
…
Later that night, the pair were cuddling in bed. Fresh felt a tad worried about how long he’d stayed in his friend’s body, and began to crawl out through their mouth. Only for grease to slap and hand over fresh’s exit. Keeping him inside. The parasite was confused. Before tasting the intent behind the action
I’m yours/stay with me/part of the swarm/part of you
Fresh paused for a moment. Realizing that, never in his vast lifetime had someone with for him to stay with them. Be part of them. Fresh’s tentacles wrapped back around the other’s delicate soul. Cradling it as if it was his whole world. A small sound escaped rat’s mouth as he began to purr of his own fruition. fresh snuggled tighter as grease began to drift to sleep
The next morning, rat was disappointed to find himself back to normal. Only to fluster at the realization that fresh was back to his normal self as well. But not only that, he was also in bed with them, snuggled against greaser’s back. As lust held him from the front, grease was trapped in the middle of a cuddle pile. And he couldn’t be happier. Smiling, purring, and deciding that waking up could wait a little longer.

II 18 AM I RIGHT FOLKS????
OH MY FCJING GODD, I didn't visit this site for like 4 days just to not get spoiled and that was THE CORRECT DECISION!!!
WE STAY WINNING!!!! TAKE MY VIDEO AND GIFS!!!!
First of all, let's just all take a minute to appreciate the best part <3
There was the pg line later, and I really don't blame them. I mean... come on now this felt graphic. It's literally like if someones guts was splayed across the ground after an explosion. I love it but holy shit. Anyway my favourite gif on my PC:
Him getting his comeuppance is what I needed. I can die peacefully now <3
At the same time, I really can't get over this-
I mean, just look at the way he's staring- He definitely wants a bite.
= - - =
Now that I got that out of my system let me start from the top.
I can't be the only one to think that he might've been thinking about... Ya know. Let's just say season 1 finale-ing it again once he realised that Cobs wasn't holding him. Though that might be projection, he was probably just looking at everything truly being gone.
THIS SCENE ACTUALLY GAVE ME CHILLS. MePhone was so silent for every part up to this, hearing him sound absolutely petrified to the cut to the stabbing is ACTUALLY terrifying. God, it was like the suitcase being torn in half scene except real-
The abusive alcoholic father memes were right.
^ Quite literally my reaction to the first half of the ep today. Literally guess he's really good at hitting. Cobs can't swing a sword (thank god) but apparently, he can hit hard enough to fucking shatter glass in one hit.
This one too... Bro's cared about them so much and I can't with this shit man- I FUCKING CAN'T!!! LITERALLY MAKING SURE NOBODY COULD DIE OVER THIS SHIT AGAIN-
I actually can't y'all. I finished this ep like 4 hours ago and I still can't unhear or unsee these scenes.
"I made you so I can unmake you"??? "I desurve this"????? "You wanted my approval but I didn't care if you lived or died"!!! HOLY FUCKIN SHIT-
Sure, I could pull a book outta Cobs' and be like "lol he's dead who cares about a dead man" but DAWGS I can't stop thinking about the layers of trauma literally everyone's going to deal with specifically mephone because I'm a mephone head, sorry not sorry at all. In the span of a day, he watched everyone he cared about die, come back to life, his brother die, his abuser die, and move on from the reminder of his abuser (inanimate insanity). Like that's a lot to happen in a day guys. That's A FUCKTON to happen in a day. BOX IS ALIVE TOO- LIKE C'MON THiS IS CUFKCING CRASZY.
I don't even know what to say about this scene, I just really like it. Maybe it's 'cause he pulled out his kernels. Moving on.
This scene fuckin' gets me- His fuckin' "THEY'RE STILL ALIVE????" Will always get me. Maybe it's 'cause of all the talk of them being dead it just gets me that he got to know that they weren't, and that they didn't die <3
Top 10 scenes that make me glad Cobs exploded. I can't believe he fucking died for our sins (I'm still coping).
THE WAY HE WAS WITH MEPAD BEFORE HE WOKE UP </3 I can't believe they fucking killed him after showing this in the beginning.
That transition from early s2 to late s2 style was phenomenal, but just look at the scene- MePhone essentially talking to a brick wall about the show is killing me. MePhone probably felt more close to MePad than MePad did about him. I say that but I'm not saying MePad didn't care about him on some level. But y'all know. Also not overlooking the "Enhancing Obedience Emulation" installation either. I guess that's what makes him dying for our sins more meaningful. I can't believe he's fucking dead,.
Close to lastly 'cause I'm runing out of imgs in this post and I want to look through the tag now, I'M SO HAPPY TOILET'S ALIVE!!! ANd apparently not made by Mephone? Like MePad was talking about toilet when he showed up and idk- maybe I gotta watch that scene over again- Idon't know y'all. I'm feeling so many things this series finale.
OH OH AND THE SCENE WITH BOT'S LEGS AND FAN GOING "This is gonna be a whole thing, isn't it" WITH BOW IN THE FOREGROUND. IT FUCKING BETTER BE!!!! I NEED THEM TO TALK!!! PLEASE!
Oh and actual last thing, I actually SCREAMED when 3gs came on screen here.
Everything about this scene. There were many objects being mirrored, like Box and Suitcase, but 3gs and Mephone being face to face with breaks made the title click. They've always been mirrors of each other and I didn't even realise it. They're both free and it's genuinely beautiful. I hope the demolish Meeple as an act of freeing everyone there. I want the metags free, I want mecintosh free, everyone. Very glad 4s still exists inside of Mephone, it was so nice to see him, but I really want everyone to be free. Can't believe Mepad fuckin' died for our sins.... Everyone grew in someway or another, I think.
All in all, I'm just glad the corn man's dead <3
I didn't make popcorn but he did burn!!
Happy inanimate insanity y'all! We've made it to the end of an era <3
#Happy inanimate insanity y'all <3#the end of an era#glad I lived long enough to see it honestly#been watching this show for way too long and it's bittersweet to let it go#but it's ok... we all have to move on eventually#I'll always be a meeplehead when it comes to this series tho <3#most of the stuff in here is about meeple... I should start working on my analytical paper for this thing now that the series is over. welp#ehh exaggerates#inanimate insanity#ii 18 spoilers#osc#ii mephone4#meeple ii#and of course right as I write this post I find out the grade for my last chem exam was a D+ 💀#in my defense I got higher than the class avg (college is fuckin' crazy y'all)

Every time you drop new lore I get a new idea that I can't figure out how/have the motivation to craft a full story out of lmao
Been thinking about those people asking if Cellie or Luna would notice if somepony lands on them, and I couldn't help but thinking about a pony escaping some sort of abusive situation and flying to the one place they couldn't imagine anypony following them- a goddess.
Would the goddess care? I imagine Luna most definitely would, but Celestia? Maybe, on a sort of vague level, in that she cares about the well being of all creatures. Or maybe she would on a much deeper level than anticipated, seeing as she knows all too well what comes from that sort of thing.
Just wanted to stop by to say thank you for the brain food, I just adore how your universe is coming along! Your worldbuilding is exquisite.
Celestia would not notice you for a while. She may get a vague sense of someone seeking sanctuary, so she would feel protective. If you stay more than a few sunsets she would realize your significance and check you out. She won't ask you about your day or anything, and caring about your story is a little difficult for her. But if your abuser shows up, well... They shouldn't have been so close to a goddess' feet.
The others would care much more, and want to know your whole story and give you comfort. Luna would protect your dreams, Cadance would protect you physically, and Twilight would connect you to a support network to help you get your life back and stay safe.
#alicorn lore#ssg celestia#ssg alicorns#ssg gods#yeah celestia gets over the whole 'killing people' thing eventually#even the most sensitive of insect lovers walk on grass#though I try not to#and when i'm moving something from the woods into my home or into water#i pick off all the bugs first so they will be ok#except ants#they get squished if i find them inside#outside i leave them alone#if an ant bites me i squish it but if a wasp or lacewing bites me i let them go#i dunno i guess even cosmic monsters have a threshhold of what we care about

Sparkstember Day 25: Hippopotamus (What The Hell Is It This Time?)
My Hippopotamus rant is here. I love Hippo and I think this was one of the best examples of how putting something off for later can be a very good idea sometimes. So I didn't hear most of it until this summer, and hearing the whole album then was one of the biggest highlights of that time. Thank you modern era Sparks for always bringing us the awesomest music ever.
#hippopotamus my beloveddddddd. also i like this drawing a lot!!! :)#i actually managed to make the letters and fire look pretty close to what they're like in the music video so that's pretty epic#anyways my favs are still roughly the same. but lately i've been also really enjoying probably nothing. beautiful somg#and now it's tagent(s) time because i thought it would be fun to buy a hippo plushie for this day and pose it for a photo#but well i don't even have this album physically so idk what other cool way i could have done this in#and yeah i mostly wanted to get something hippo-themed anyway#because a while ago i had to pass up on very awesome socks with hippos on them because they didn't have the right size#and i'm still thinking about them sometimes (i'm the biggest fan of fun socks)#ALSO... my original original plan for hippo (and ecotd tbh)#was to wait with them until something epic and sparks-related was happening. like travelling to see them on tour#well that didn't happen as we all know so. moved on from that idea eventually#but the future is bright anyway because i love modern era sparks sm and i can actually look forward to new albums coming out soon-ish#from both of my biggest favs AND another band that i've been getting into lately so uhhhh if not 2024#then can please at least 2025 be the year of awesomeness and amazingness that i've been waiting for?!?!?#ok this isn't even about hippo anymore so i'll just finish now#sparkstember 2024#my art#goose monologues

More progress being made. I finished re-reading The Illusion of Living this past Friday. It's a nice book. 👍 This was the last of the Bendy books in this "marathon" that I'm doing which I had already read previously and now I'm rereading, meaning that I'm kind of up to date when it comes to rereading all the books that were released until December 2021. But the race is not over yet. Soon I'll start Fade To Black, and (technically) I'll finally be up to date.
Just to continue my chain of posting about the books I finished (at least, the main ones that I really wanted to read) here it is…something I did at the beginning of March, on the night when shit went down. (I hope you know what I'm talking about). I saw the tweets first hand, I was there! Right at the damn moment. And it was..something reading those tweets alright. If the image above doesn't show it, my mood that night and the next 1-2 days wasn't so… great. You might read this and think I'm exaggerating, but that night especially I, uuhhh, I didn't feel good! And this image (and maybe 2 more posts I made that night) are the results of that. (And to think that a week before this happened, I had finished rereading DCTL after a long time. Talk about better/worse timing than this)
At least, if you want the bright side of this, it's that even after that day, I decided to continue with my book marathon, and I don't regret it. I was down that day, but I wasn't out yet damn it!! and I'm still not. (I don't know if this sentence makes a lot of sense, but you get my point)
As a bonus, here's something I did the night I got to the part where Henry is first mentioned in the book (you can consider this as a representation of my reaction when he's first mentioned, both for when I read TIOL for the first time in 2021, as now in this rereading)
Feat. canon Henry design and my fanon design for him (I wanted to include him here + I still read this book with my fan-designs in mind)
#bendy and the ink machine#batim#crookedsmile open his mouth#crookedsmile open his mouth;bendy#ABBY LAMBERT; IN MY HEART YOU ALWAYS BE CANON TO THE GAMES; I DON'T CARE WHAT THE OTHERS SAY#also;i'm a Henry Stein fan;could you tell#re-looking at the first image and realizing that I will probably have to change my Abby design eventually;specifically; the hair.#I'm sure this hair doesn't match with what was described in DCTL or TIOL;#It's going to be a little strange; I'm so used to drawing her like this; but hey; every now and then we have to make sacrifices#To summarize my thoughts on TIOL: it's a nice book! Although it is not my favorite among the other Bendy books written by Kress#It's great to see more of Joey; delving deeper into his character and seeing how he thinks and seeing more of his life before the studio#is an interesting read! but I still prefer stories like DCTL and TLO; you know;especially because these two also have the horror factor in#which;considering what TIOL is; it doesn't have it. It's still a good book tho. It's just not my favorite#and re: the whole book canonity thing: I was not happy! Wow; what a surprising thing to say#as someone who enjoyed the books;I was disappointed with what I thought was expanding the games universe;In the end;just wasn't doing it#like;ok;sure;that doesn't mean the books aren't worth reading; I'd say they are! but still;*points to the last tag*#Maybe; one day; in the future; I can even accept this decision and move on with life; you know. understand the why of this.#but in the current present? yeah;no. I will continue to ask myself why#I would say more; but Tumblr has a tag limit apparently so I'm running out of time. as a last message: read the books#regardless of what the devs say; I still think these things should be recognized.#that's all; peace

ok this fic im reading is not as good as i was hoping it would be and in like. Meh i should stop. But im like 19 chapters in so im feeling the sunk cost fallacy
#Shitpost#everyone calls this fic gospel. And. I dont even have other fics in this fandom to compare#because i DONT read this fandom#And while this has some good emotional points its like. So. Toothless?#theres just hinted threats that never pay off and so im just hanging waiting for a threat to actually. Have weight#im like. Ok im on board with emotions but theyve been sitting around a mansion having emotions for like 100k#are we moving on yet. Is any of the threatened violence happening#How do u have a robot with a huge gun and somehow make him not threatening at all#or like. Trying to convince me a guy who has done nothing during the story. Is a threat#when its like. I think he did all the bad things before the story started#and now i be snoozin#its like it plays with the idea of having something violent occurring but the author is so addicted to slice of life#that like. Nothing happens.#the emotional beats ARE good in moments but this like dangling threats where nothing happens is killing me#like. Why is this fic gospel to people. Does. Something eventually happen?#idk maybe im being too cruel#but tbh even half of the character's emotional traumas caused by each other isnt selling me#im liek it is NOT that traumatic to meet an alternate universe you in this way#you guys are literally just chilling and chatting at his house. Waiting for a scientist to solve your problem#like they dont even HAVE to do anything#ok im done.

can't get started ♡
older bf!logan howlett x fem!reader
logan can't get it up one night and is humiliated. but that just means he'll have to prove he can still satisfy you.
cw: nsfw (18+), smut, p in v, daddy kink, age gap (reader in 20s)
a/n: the part in dpw where he said he's got whiskey dick with the claws turned me on too much tbh
This had never happened to Logan before.
That wasn't a lie he was telling you to make himself look less pathetic. It wasn't an affirmation he repeated in his own head to feel like he was still hot shit. It was the truth. One he would swear to on anything.
He'd never had a problem getting it up before.
Not with you, not with anyone. He thought the healing factor made him immune to whiskey dick or any kind of down-there dysfunction. But apparently not. Because the two of you finally had some time alone after being amidst the chaos of the mansion all day and his body was stalling.
The second he had the bedroom door shut, you were dragging him over to the bed and climbing into his lap. You were doing everything like usual. Your lips pressed against his, and then moved to his jawline and down his neck. Your hands glided across the firm muscles of his chest. Your hips rolled down against his lap, beckoning the appendage between his legs to reciprocate your desire.
But it just wouldn't. He tried to make it because it wasn't a matter of not wanting you. He wanted you bad.
He grabs your chin and brings your lips back up to his mouth so he can communicate his passion wordlessly. He digs his fingers into your hips, feeling the beginnings of where your flesh swells into your ass. He envisions how you'd been prancing around the whole day, cute tits pushing against the fabric of your t-shirt and calling out for him to grab.
You're so soft and warm. The little mewls that leave your lips sound like calls of angels up above. It doesn't matter though. His cock had clocked out for the night.
"God damnit," he grumbles before brushing you off his lap and bringing his fist down against the mattress. He sighs and his head hangs.
He can already sense the look on your face. Worry, hesitation, and affection swirling into one humiliating look. He feels your hand find his shoulder, the touch tender and accepting.
"It's ok, Logan. We don't have to," you say. Your tone is so soft and gentle, and it just drives him fucking nuts.
"But you want to," he says and looks over at you. The look in your eyes kills him. He knows you don't mean it, but it looks so patronizing. As if he's an old dog about to be taken out back and old yeller'd.
"Yeah but I don't want you to force yourself. We can just cuddle," you offer, sweet as can be.
"It's not forcing, I want to do this. I want you so bad," he says and cups your cheek. He pulls you back onto his lap and nuzzles your neck. "Been thinking about this all day."
You let out a little sigh as he lays some kisses on the column of your throat, and that gives him a spark of hope. Maybe he can do this. Maybe he doesn't have to be put out to pasture just yet. The two of you make out and grind and feel each other up some more. But eventually your tits are all but in his face and his dick still doesn't have a pulse.
He huffs and pulls back. 'Fuck, I'm sorry, sweetheart," he says.
You watch him, the gleam in your eyes as adoring as ever. It was the same look you gave him when you'd have to explain a basic function of a cell phone to him.
"It's ok. You don't have to be embarrassed," you reassure and lean in to peck his cheek.
He groans and gently brushes you off. "Don't. I don't need you coddling me."
"I'm just saying. I understand," you say with conviction, hands splaying on your chest to physically convey your empathy, "It happens to lots of guys when they get older. You don't have to be ashamed of it with me."
And in that moment, he wishes he didn't have his mutation so he could just die on the spot from being utterly mortified. He'd actually have preferred if you laughed in his face and called him an old man. A sad, old, perverted fuck who decided to date some half his age even though he couldn't keep up with her appetite. If you'd told him you were gonna find someone who could satisfy you, it probably would've stung less than being talked to like a patient who doesn't know their cancer is terminal.
There was no chance in hell, you'd ever do any of that though. As much as he hated that fact right now, it was part of why he loved you.
All he does is mumble a thank you and kiss the corner of your mouth. He doesn't just cuddle you after though. He gets you off on his thigh. You were still going to cum even if he couldn't. When you're done, he holds you close and rubs your back till you're sleeping curled up to his side.
His night isn't very restful though. It's haunted with the prospect of future incidents like this, of your perception of him changing. The look in your eyes changing from admiration to pity.
He can't live with that. The next day for the two of you is super busy, but he makes sure there's a spot at the end of it for him to secure his redemption.
This time around it's him carting you away from the others once the sun is down, mouth on the curve of your neck before you even reach the bedroom. His hands grope your waist and paw at your tits. You stumble into the door, bumping it loud enough that you'd be worried about someone hearing you if they weren't all downstairs.
"Logan..." you giggle. You push your ass back against him and glance at him out of your peripheral.
"Not what you're gonna be calling me before the night is done, sweet thing," he grunts and boosts you up.
Your legs press into his sides to support yourself as he opens the door. He takes the two of you inside and kicks it shut behind him before heading to the bed and tossing you on the mattress.
You look up at him with a coy smile, arms propping you up and one of your legs extended to entice him.
"You know... you don't have to prove anything to me, right?" you say.
"Oh, I don't?" he asks and grabs your ankle, pulling you to the edge of the bed so your hips meet, "You're too easy to please, babydoll."
Another laugh bubbles through your lips. Your legs drop to lock around his waist. "I'm just saying. It's like totally normal, and I don't want you to get all grumpy about it."
"Oh, I get grumpy, do I?" he asks as he leans over you. His large body envelopes yours on the mattress. He ducks down further to swallow your words up with kisses.
You hum into the exchange but pull back a little to finish your thought.
"Mhm, you do. And I just don't want you to feel that way cause I knew when we got together what I was getting into," you say.
Your confidence is so cute. You talk with absolute certainty, like you understand all there is to be understood about him. Like you'd known him forever and he hadn't been doing things like this for decades longer than you walked this earth.
His mouth crashes against yours again, his body weighing down on you and crushing you into the mattress.
"You did, hm? You knew what you were getting into? You got with me thinking I wouldn't be able to give it to you how you need all the time?" he mutters against your skin.
"I didn't mean it like-"
"Didn't mean it like that? How'd you mean it then, sweetheart?"
"I dunno..."
"Doesn't sound like you knew what you were getting into to me," he breathes.
That little sentence that you'd said in an attempt to comfort him unlocked something between the two of you. He felt his cock waking up and pressing against his zipper, eager to get out and slide home. It's hard to register your clothes being pulled off when he's got his tongue in your mouth and his fingers playing with your clit. In no time at all, he's got the both of you bare and his cock nestled between your thighs.
Like he already knew, the issue last night had never been about lack of desire. And he intended to prove that to you, fuck you so good it wiped your memory of any placating word that fell from your lips.
He ruts into you hard. The mattress rocks on the bed frame and threatens to slide off. His dick is big and even though it's not a new sensation for you, each time you take it is a stretch. It's even more so when he pushes you up by the back of your knees. You whine as you're folded in half. His thrusts hit your sweet spot every time at this angle.
"Thought you knew what you were getting into?" he teases as he pistons himself in and out.
You mewl and bob your head, though you aren't sure if you're shaking your head or nodding.
"Fuckkkk, Logan. 'm sorry," you pant. Your walls squeeze tight around his shaft as your eyes close up. He made every part of your body contract and feel like it was moments from exploding.
He simply laughs at your apology. "Don't gotta be sorry. You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just showing you what happens when I get older."
His balls hang heavy and swing with each motion, clapping against your ass. The heat between your legs is enough to make you squirm. Constant whimpers pour from your lips as he fucks into you without mercy.
"I know," you moan, "You fuck me better than anyone else."
"That's right," he grunts, "Nobody else could fuck you like this. Just me."
"Mhm, just daddy," you slur and cling onto him tighter. Your arms hook around his neck and keep his sweaty skin flush against yours.
"Just daddy," he repeats, his tone smooth like silk despite his raspy voice, "You don't need anyone else. Not when I can take care of you like this."
His tip prods at your cervix, making you yelp and buck. He doesn't stop though, just keeps battering into you, hammering into your warm, wet hole.
"You don't need any little boys thinking they know how to handle you," he breathes and nuzzles your neck, "Your old man can handle you just fine, make you cum whenever you need."
A strangled cry leaves your lips. Your nails dig into his back so hard that it seems like you wanted to draw blood. His words just make you melt for him. Reduce you down to a compliant jumble of flesh for him to mold and play with how he wants.
"Needa cum right now, daddy," you whine.
"I know you do, spoiled girl. You act so understanding, but I know that little pussy is aching to cum around my cock. To get filled up with my cum," he murmurs.
You nod wildly.
He chuckles at your eagerness and snaps against you even harder.
"Hold on tight, baby," he whispers.
His hips ricochet off your ass, clapping against you with intensity that borders on violent. You squeal and hang on as directed. Your whole body rocks with his momentum. Your head bobbles around like it's empty, which it is. Empty of everything but him.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck," you whimper.
"Let it out for me. Let me feel you burst, pretty girl," he grunts as he continues plowing into you.
Your body rolls. Your hips vibrate with the ecstasy release brings you. It crashes over you in one intense wave, like a gallon of liquid euphoria being poured over you. Your eyes flutter, and you bury your face in his neck like he has his in yours.
He fucks you through it. Coos in your ear too. "That's my baby. My sweet girl. Always sound so pretty when you're cumming."
One of your hands flies up to clutch at his thick, dark hair. Keeping him close keeps the words flowing.
"Getting so tight for me, fuck. No one can make me cum like you, honey. Drains me dry every fucking time."
Moments later he spurts into you, unloading thick ropes of his spend inside you. You let out another moan from that sensation alone. He growls and pants against your skin, his hands locking you in place as his hips pummel into your cunt and make sure every last drop has been released.
He lingers on you for a few moments before pulling out. His body feels loose in the afterglow. He stands at the edge of the bed and looks down at himself and then you. He knows he's gonna have to clean you up. Your inner thighs are shimmery with a mix of fluids, and the bush of dark hair at the base of his cock is in the same condition.
"Time to shower, baby?" he asks and pats your leg. You don't respond at first and he smirks. "Or did I tire you out too much?"
You whine something incoherent and shift to turn your face against the blankets. His smug look grows. He crawls over you again and nips at your jaw, rubbing his nose against your cheekbone.
"You know, it's ok, sweetheart. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's totally normal for pretty little things like you. I knew that going in."
His tone mimics your soft and understanding one from earlier. You make a little growl and swat at his bicep.
“Shut up, old man.”
