Summary: |REQUEST| You’ve been working at NEST in hopes to meet aliens and maybe befriend them! Your attempts though are dashed until one blue Autobot shows up at the base one day. Warnings: N/A Word Count: 1455

Tags: @ the one anon who sent me the request! 

One afternoon though, a new Autobot had rolled into the base with Optimus and Ironhide, having taken on the shape of a blue Nissan GTR. He was someone who had apparently been on Earth for quite a while now compared to Optimus and you immediately were curious. Perhaps this new Autobot could be your friend. You were determined to at least have one Autobot be your friend, everything else be damned. 

When the blue Autobot got out of their altmode, they stood about the same height as Bumblebee. Alright. Good start. At least they weren’t 32 feet tall like Optimus. 

“Autobots,” Optimus said, the Autobot’s attention turning towards him as he introduced the new recruit. “This is Evac. He is here to help us protect the remaining Allspark shard.”

“It’s good to be around comrades again, Optimus,” Evac said. You approached Evac meekly, gripping your clipboard as nervousness wracked your body. You had to be used to this by now, it was standard procedure after all. All NEST scientists had to essentially do a checkup on all Autobots, especially new ones before they were sent out on missions. It was a deal that the NEST operatives and Optimus had allowed, as long as no experimentation was being done on them. After all, they were intelligent beings. Giant ones with intellectual prowess higher than any human.

“H-Hello!“ you called out to Evac. 

“Ah, (y/n),“ Optimus said, noticing your small form. “I believe you’re the one conducting the check up on our friend?“

“Yes,“ you replied, “Evac, if you could follow me, to the decontamination chamber…” You then turned around and started leading him to the decontamination chamber, something Ratchet had created for Cybertronians, using the knowledge he had from previous years before Cybertron had fallen. 

“Is this standard procedure?” Evac asked, being careful not to kick anyone as he followed you. 

“Yup, don’t worry, we’re just making sure everything is healthy, after we’re done on our part, we’ll send you to Ratchet,” you replied. When Evac entered the decontamination chamber, you pressed a button that cleaned him of whatever needed to be cleaned and he got out of the chamber feeling refreshed, you then pointed him to a lowered berth essentially and he laid down on it as you climbed onto it and walked around him, using various tools to see how his health was. During the entire time, you struck up a friendly conversation with him, asking him every question that came into your mind, knowing that you wouldn’t have any other chance of becoming friends with this new person. “Ah- sorry,” you then said, cutting yourself off. 

“Hm?” Evac hummed. 

“I just realised I’m asking too many questions, sorry,” you said shuffling a little bit in embarrassment. He gives a light laugh and a pink tint rises to your cheeks. 

“No, it’s fine! Honestly, I’m enjoying the conversation, nice to get to know the people on this planet,“ Evac smiled. You paused for a moment, looking at his expression to see if he was being genuine and you cleared your throat as you set aside the last tool. 

“Well, I’m done with everything for you,” you huffed. “Now you gotta deal with Ratchet, you seem fine in everything so I don’t think he’ll give you too much trouble,” you smiled. He got up from the berth and gave you a smile before approaching Ratchet for the rest of his check up. You stood there for a moment before one thought ran through your mind. Oh, he’s kinda cute. 

A few months passed since you first met Evac, often glancing at him every now and then to see what he was up to. Little did you know that whenever Evac was back at base from missions, his optics would be searching for you every now and then. Ever since he met you, he found you pretty endearing. The conversations you had through those months were short, usually cut off with you having to work and Evac being gone during missions. 

It was rare that he had time off, but when he did he’d find ways to seek you out and spend as much time as possible with you. After all, he enjoyed your presence and your friendliness towards him was a breath of fresh air. And you enjoyed being around him, learning more about his world, him as an individual. So the day when you realised you fell in love with him hit you like a bus. Maybe you were just looking at him for too long or just acting on something else. But his laugh! His smile! It made your heart race whenever he gave you that smile, something that he seemed to only give to you when you passed by on your way to do a task that had been assigned to you. So when Evac finally had enough time to himself to go out for a drive he immediately approached you after you had finished with your work for today. 

“Hey!” Evac greeted. “So um,” he rubbed his servos on the back of his neck, suddenly growing nervous. “I was wondering if you wanted to go out for a ride. Together. Just the two of us.” A smile immediately grew on your face and you accepted the offer. Evac wasn’t expecting you to say yes so quickly and stood there with his dermas slightly open for a moment, processing before giving a light chuckle and changing into his altmode. He opened the driver’s door for you and you got in, Evac leaving the hangar a little bit faster than he should have, mainly because he couldn’t contain his excitement. The Autobots watched as he sped off and Ratchet muttered to himself as he went back to his work. 

“Young Cybertronians, always unable to control their sparks,” Ratchet grumbled. 

“So, where to?” you asked Evac as he drove off the base. 

“I dunno, any ideas on where you wanna go?“ Evac replied through the stereo. You thought about it for a moment before a location came to mind. 

“There’s a mountain pass nearby that overlooks the ocean,” you said. “We can park at a spot up there and just watch the sunset.”

“Watching the sunset? Sounds romantic to me,” Evac teased. You gave an awkward yeah and cleared your throat, trying to will away the blush that was growing on your face.

“Yeah, so?” you said defensively. Evac’s fans started going full blast for a moment before calming down and you quirked a brow. 

“I, just uh,” Evac tried to find the words but couldn’t, so instead he just kept driving, leaving you both flustered. You gave him directions as he went, your voice cautious and gentle, beginning to feel more and more nervous as you drew near the spot. When you arrived, you got out of Evac and placed your hand on his hood as a sign of affection before looking towards the sun, which had begun to set. 

“Nobody’s here-” you were cut off as soon as you spoke by the sound of Evac shifting out of his altmode, your hand now in his servos as he sat down on the edge. You kept your hand in his servos for a moment before your face flushed red and you withdrew it, muttering a sorry. Evac only gives a light laugh, motioning you closer. You think about it for a moment before drawing closer to him, sitting on the ground and leaning against his large frame. He wraps his arm around you and the two of you watch the sun set, saying nothing the entire time, simply taking in his body heat as the air began to cool as it settled into night. It was nice. Just the two of you sitting here all alone, with no responsibilities to worry about. You kinda wished it’d last forever. Just being here. With him.
