Wanting Something More {Optimus Prime x Reader}

《 • •20• • 》

Both you and Cade came up with a plan to break into one of the trains that were parked in the train station. "Dad, I'm tired of running and stealing." Tessa said with a defeated sigh.

With a loud grunt, Cade opened the door revealing the luxury lounge area. "A place to sleep." He said, looking back at Tessa with a faint smile. "Yeah. Just another break-in." Shane grumbled just as you turned to glare at him.

"Get in and rest up. We're gonna need it." You exclaimed with a sigh as you let them get in the train first.

"Oh look at this jackpot!" Shane said as he found snacks and drinks that was in the small fridge of the lounge area. Cade noticed as you awkwardly stood by the entrance of the train.

"Hey you coming in?"

You bite the inside of your cheek as you shook your head. The news that was given to you today still freaked you out. It made you sick to your stomach at the thought of the Autobots leaving earth.

Why is Optimus talking about leaving? He never told me about that... Tears weld in your eyes at the thought of being left behind. Of course you wouldn't be able to go with them. You are a human after all.

"(Y/n)? What's going on?" Cade asked as he rested a hand on your shoulder. "I...I don't know if I can handle loosing him again." You barely managed out as the tears finally rolled down your cheeks.

"I can't loose Optimus again, Cade. I can't." You repeated as he pulled you into a tight hug. You begin to burst into tears as you wrap your arms around Cade.

You hated feeling like this. Feeling helpless and afraid...you lived for five years thinking Optimus was dead. Now that you had him back you were going to loose him all over again.

You were beyond terrified about the new war that was soon to come. From the past battles you had face you lost so much. You couldn't bare to even think about the outcomes of this battle.

The fear of loosing anyone else you cared about made you nauseous. What if I don't survive this one. What if I'm the one who dies?

Once you and Cade broke the hug, he gently cupped your face in his hands. "(Y/n) look at me, okay? Optimus isn't going anywhere. He's gonna stay and he's gonna help us fight. Just like he always did."

You forced a smile and nodded. "You should get some rest, I'm going to check in with the bots."

Cade nodded as he stepped back into the train as you went to search for Optimus. The rest of the Autobot team was simply gathered around each other. While Optimus kept his distance from the team, clearly lot in thought.

"Optimus?"

It took him a moment to finally look down at you. "You doing okay?" You asked as he nodded, in kneels down in front of you as you gently rest your hands on his cheek plate.

"You don't look okay, my love. I know you're upset..."

"I fear for the worst (Y/n)...with Megatron's return and his ambition to build a new army I fear that this could be the end."

"Optimus..."

"I don't want to loose you.." He added on, a servo extended towards you as he used a digit to ever so delicately caress your cheek. Tears weld in your eyes as you leaned against his touch.

"I don't want to loose you either."

After a long moment of silence, you blinked away the tears and looked up at him; dreading to hear the answer to your next question.

"Did you really mean it when you said you were done? That you're going to leave earth?" You forced out, your heart now racing.

He turned his gaze away from yours, his optics ridges furrowed and a frown formed on his lip plates.
