❝ TRANSFORMERS ❞ [BUMBLEBEE/FEM!READER ] • I

CHAPTER X

CHAPTER X

"With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. As fate had yielded its reward. A new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage. Although we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.."

"Just relax, okay?"
"I am relaxing." Bumblebee only raises a small brow at your response, seeing you're still stressed. You sigh out in frustration, your arm becoming numb as the weapon tightens around it. You were able to do it when you first got the thing- so why not now. Shaking your arm as an attempt but then just letting your arm drop to the side.
     "I never even got to use this." Mumbling and Bumblebee only grabs a hold of your dominant arm. Looking through the mechanics. "It's probably for the best. Using this would have knocked you back." He couldn't help but giggle at the thought. Giving him a small look in which the Autobot sighs.

     "Either way, Ironhide is weaponry, so human emotions aren't his strong suit. So it might not be registering you 'relaxing' half of the time." With tiny clicks, Bumblebee manages to unlock the weapon into two parts. Pulling your arm away as the cool air hits your sore skin.

     "Well, I don't think I'll be needing that, not anymore at least." Bumblebee looks back up at you and you only stretch your arms out. "It's been weeks since the last Decepticon invasion against us. The second semester is beginning and I need to start applying for college."
     "College?" Bumblebee repeats, leaning towards you in curiosity. You only shrug. "Well, yeah, my GPA is- better than Sam's to say at least and I have a career path I wanna go to." The hologram only nods, not understanding the whole college concept but assuming it's more schooling. Though confused on why you would still want to continue such a thing, mostly with him witnessing you stress over exams and studying before.

     "And you?" You lower your head, looking back at Bumblebee's vehicle form. "I know you told Optimus you would stay but.. you aren't gonna stay forever, are you? I mean- aren't you gonna help out with Decepticons?" Bumblebee's smile slowly fades at the question, unable to read your intentions.

     "Do you want me to leave?"
     "What? No no no! I'm just.." You sigh, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder. "I just don't want you to feel as if we're holding you back, with this whole guardian thing." Assuring him but Bumblebee only bites his tongue.

     "I chose to stay here. I want to stay with you."
     That's certainly a way to word- things.
     "(Y/N).."
Hm? "What?"
     Bumblebee only straightens his figure, setting down the weapon. "I've done my research on human friendship lately, cause when it comes between you and Sam. I've noticed I'm closer to you than Samuel." His lips curl into a soft smile.
     "Then I noticed Sam's and Mikaela's friendship, they seem to be very affectionate and protective of one another." Oh...
     "I want to be by your side like they are towards one another, want you to feel protected, support you. You've been in my mind as of late and everything about you is fascinating to me and.." He notices your temperature beginning to rise. OHH!

     "What?" His confused tone sounds naive.
     "Bee.. do you.." You stop at your tracks, trying to process if he even knew what relationships even were. "Is this why you tried to.. kiss me back in the Sector Seven base?" "I was only trying to get you to relax..!" Bumblebee waves his arms in defense, his skin becoming warm. You faintly laugh, hiding your smile.

"Plus you did it before- in the car shop-" Right. Sort of?
"That was your steering wheel.." Finally remembering what he meant, the memory's small but it's amazing how he can recall such a short moment. However...

     "Bee, I think you might have a crush on me."
     Bumblebee only blinks at you. His eyebrows furrowed.

     "I'm your guardian, it's only natural for me to become close to the bloodline. You.."
     His words are cut off by your lips pressing against his.
     Pulling away to notice the hologram fizzing out and eventually deleting itself. You turn back to Bumblebee's vehicle form, his engines fans beginning to whirr.

     "Oh, you do." He couldn't help but let out a small whine at your tease. You only smile at him, a bit surprised but you've gotten the hint a while back. As well as, began developing some sort of feelings mid-way through, though.. a human with an Autobot? Would that even work?
     Your attention focuses back on Bumblebee's vehicle form, he hasn't brought back his hologram. He's worried more than anything. Worried he might have ruined your connection with him. He's still learning human emotions and it can be a bit difficult indicating tones for him.

     "I... I like you too, so don't think you've made things awkward." You pat the hood of the Camaro in which Bumblebee transforms, his faceplate covering his eyes. "You— do?" "Why else would I kiss you..?"

     Next thing, you're only pulled into a tight embrace, though gentle enough as to not crush you. The Autobot is now full of glee, his faceplate nuzzling against your cheek. You couldn't help but faintly laugh.
     Despite your last draining relationship with Trent, you have more hope for the one with Bumblebee. Sure, dating a robotic being from another planet may need a bit of getting used to, though you couldn't have been happier.

     God, what are you gonna tell your parents...
