Poker Face (TFP Optimus Prime and Human Reader)

Song is Believer by Imagine Dragons.
Had this idea when I was reading one of my favorites stories on here, and it mentioned something about Optimus having a good poker face. Hope y'all enjoy it! It will hopefully have less doom and gloom than the previous chapters.
Y/N POV
I stared at my guardian, the great Optimus Prime, as he stood there, listening to another one of Agent Fowler's lectures.
He has an excellent poker face, my mind randomly informed me. I blinked. Where did that thought come from? An animated picture of Optimus trying to play poker suddenly popped into my head, while I bit my lip to stifle my laugher. Suddenly, an idea came to me. A little while later, I asked my guardian if I could teach him something tomorrow to help him understand Earth customs better. It wasn't a total lie, I just neglected to mention the exact kind of culture. Meaning, gambling, kind of. Ever the courteous bot, he agreed. I knew he was curious about Earth customs, so it was easy to get him agree. I just hoped he would eventually like what I had planned. I arrived at base the next day, toting a box which kinda looked like one of those briefcases that bad guys store money in in spy movies. I presented it to Optimus.
"Today," I declared, "I will teach you how to play poker."
He tilted his head. "What is this, "poker?" He asked me. "Why would I need to poke you?"
I almost laughed at his innocence. He was such a cinnamon roll.
"Poker is a game you play. If you go to these places called Casinos, then you basically bet money or chips, and it's mostly chance if you win." I continued to explain the basic rules to him, opening the case, and showing him the chips and cards.
"Of course, we will simply be betting chips, and not money. As long as you don't get carried away, the game itself is pretty fun."
Optimus tilted his head again.
"Why are you teaching me this game?" he asked me. I shrugged.
"I noticed you have an excellent poker face when dealing with Agent Fowler, and I thought it would be fun to teach you."
"What is a "poker face"? He asked tentatively.
"A poker face is a face you make when you are able to hide your emotions and feelings really well, and people can't tell what you're thinking. This is a good thing to have in poker, especially when you're bluffing."
The Prime nodded his head in understanding.
"I suppose we should begin."
We played for about two hours or so, and it was so much fun! I managed to snag the desired picture of Optimus playing poker, as he held the tiny cards close to his optics in order to actually read the numbers and symbols. He was, of course, very good at this game, and was able to read me quite easily, although his face remained a passive mask, no matter what his cards were. That evening, Optimus was driving me home as usual, the two of us in a comfortable silence. When we were almost to my house, Optimus spoke up.
"Thank you, Y/N, for teaching me how to play poker today," he said. "I have not felt so relaxed in a long time."
I smiled, glad that he was happy.
"It was my pleasure, Optimus. And plus, you're a natural at that game. There was no way that was all beginner's luck. Still, if you want me to teach you anything else, please let me know."
"Thank you, Y/N, I most certainly will."
And we enjoyed the rest of the drive together in the same companionable silence.
Sorry it's kinda short, but I hope y'all liked it!
