Wanting Something More {Optimus Prime x Reader}

《・•10•・》

"I'll be here with you. Every step of the way." You ensured as Optimus nodded before looking at Cade for the nod of approval.

Cade slowly stepped forward to examine Optimus. "How long?" Prime asked you softly as you took in a deep a breath. "It's been five years...five years..." You whispered softly as you looked up at him.

After a small moment of silence that hung between you two, Cade had managed to take notes. "There's a lot that needs fixing but I can do it." Cade formed as Optimus looked at you once more.

"It's okay, you can trust them. It'll be okay." You ensured as Cade forced a smile. "Okay. Lukas come with me, I need you to get supplies." Cade informed as you watched them leave the barn.

"I'll be right back." You ensured as you rested a shaking hand against Prime's cheek structure of his faceplate before chasing after the two men.

"I need you to go to the hardware store and you get the list. The while list." Cade informed as he shoved the list at Lucas's chest.

"What you're going to try and fix him? He's not a model train set, Cade." Lucas spat at as you clenched your jaw while glaring daggers at Lucas. I wish Optimus smacked him harder...

"No, that's right he's important." Cade fired back as the imbecile rolled his eyes as he leaned against the open car door of his black mini.

"Important to who? You can't keep an alien locked up in your barn. What are you going to do, play with him?" Lucas challenged as your eyes widened by his sudden comeback.

"He's important to me!" You spat as they both looked at you. "He's all I got left, he's the love of my damn life! So you get what Cade is asking for!" You snarled as you felt tears form in your eyes.

"Oh really? 'Cause alien have feelings?!" He fired back as your eyes widened before snarling; trying to reach over to grab hold of him but Cade held you back.

"Will you calm down?" Cade spat at Lucas as Cade pulled you right to his side.

"I'm trying to, but I just got hit in the head with a ten-foot cannon!" Lucas hissed as he yanked opened the door of his car.

"If he eats you, I get the GTO." He added on as he got into his car and started it up. "Not a word to anybody. Do you hear me? Not a signal word. Nobody." Cade declared as Lucas nodded.

You worked down a swallow as you and Cade watched him drive off. "You okay?" Cade asked as you forced a nod, feeling your stomach grow into knots.

"He didn't mean all that crap. You know how he is." Cade ensured as you forced another nod. "Okay, so should we get to work?"

Cade smiled, nodding in reply before you and him went back into the barn where Optimus was waiting for the both of you.

~Later~

"Took a hell of a bit, you know. The missile just missed your power source." Cade informed as Optimus looked over at you as you climbed the ladder.

"We call it a spark." Optimus replied as he looked over at Cade before looking back at you. His Optimus blue optics filled with admiration for you. It made your heart flutter.

"It contains our life force and our memories." Optimus added on; looking back over at Cade just as he got on the platform and smiled at him. "Yeah, we call it a soul."
