Optimus Prime X FM Reader (One Shot)
"How Is He Falling For Her?"
-So, most people that know me, know that I'm obsessed with transformers and Optimus. I wrote this 13 long page one shot of the Optimus from TFP (Transformers Prime). And I was kinda talked into posting it ...SOOOOO... We're here now 😅. This has no specific plot but I just wanted my brain to feel pretty after writing this.
Warnings: Mentions of sexual assault themes, fluff, and a little bit of spicy stuff at the end.
-Isabel LaRosa - I'm yours
Optimus to others is seen as a prime, a leader, a bot with a kind spark, and at some points even cold. He doesn’t mean to be mean, he just probably doesn’t know how to have fun. Or perhaps even relax. While Optimus is seen in such a way, (y/n) knows deep down how he truly feels about his team. She has always grown some type of connection with Prime. The more time that they spend with each other, the more Optimus starts to feel things.
Feelings that aren’t familiar to him, but at the same time, intoxicating. Even when you do the littlest things, he can’t help but look. When you talk about your passions, when you laugh, say an idea that helps out missions, the way how you encourage others to do their best…
The way how you look into his optics makes him feel like time has stopped, and only for you two.
When your (H/C) hair shines in the sun when the sunrise comes up and makes your eyes turn into a hazel color shimmer.
Literally, everything about you makes every fiber in his metal body, melt and crumble away, he is torn by your beauty and the fact that you were human. He was only an Autobot, nothing could ever happen.
Until one night you went to ask Optimus for a favor, which he quickly approved of. It makes Optimus happy because he always wants to spend as much time with you as possible.
However the request was rather odd, you asked him if he could give you a ride with one other person because they asked you out on a date to the movie theaters. You didn’t want to go but you also didn’t know how to say ‘no’. You couldn’t ask any of your others friends because they would only say just go by yourself.
Optimus is still rather confused about the term “Date”.
“(Y/N), I'm afraid your human terms are still rather confusing. Can you please educate me on this term?”
“Well, for humans when two people seem very interested in each other or are just really close friends, and want to spend more time together just one on one, they go out together to do something fun and usually romantic.”
Optimus understood a little bit more.
“Interesting, but this “Cody” friend of yours from school, I think I recall that you didn’t like his company.”
It hit you at that moment that Optimus must have overheard you complain about Cody to the others and the bots, about how he’s really cool to hang with as a friend but sometimes tries to flirt with you and it makes you icky on the inside.
“Yes, but I just need to be able to deal with him for the rest of the week that way we can get along while we finish this last project for my college class.”
“I need you, Optimus, I need like a third wheel in case something goes wrong.”
Optimus now looks at you with the most love-sick optics after he heard that first line come out of your mouth.
He kneels down on the ground to get closer to you. With his face inches away from yours, he smiles.
“Don’t worry Lady (y/n), I will be there to accompany you and your ‘Date’.”
He says as he rolls his eyes at that last comment.
You laugh and feel some weight lift off your shoulders.
“Thank you thank you Thank you!”
As you said that, you get on your tippy toes to place a kiss on his metal cheek. And walk away without looking back at him.
“I promise I’ll make this up to you. See ya later.”
When you left the room, the prime was still in shock, he goes to touch the side where you kissed him, and starts to overheat a little.
“No need (y/n), you already have.”
He says to himself as he smiles in adoration.
-Time skip-
It was finally time for your date with Cody but he texted you to let you know he still needed some more time to get ready so that meant you still had more time to yourself. But you were dreading it even more as every second passes by.
Optimus sees your discomfort, so he walks in front of your view.
“(y/n), are you alright? you seem uneasy.”
“Yeah, I’m totally fine, just a little nervous.”
He didn’t buy your strong act, he knew that you didn’t like this.
“Don’t worry, m’lady, I will be with you the entire time, you won’t be alone, plus I promised to protect you.”
Heat suddenly started to rise in your face, he just called you M’lady.
“Thank you Optimus, also where did you learn that word from?”
“M’lady, You’ve never called me that before.”
“Oh, well I did some research last night with Raph on how dates work, and this term was mentioned as a form of respect to the females and to make them seem like a goddess. Do you think it was wrong for me to say such?”
“OH of course not it's totally fine, I actually kinda find it sweet, nobody has ever really said that to me before. Probably because I’m not pretty enough.”
Optimus’s face contorts in a look of disbelief.
“Oh, but on the contrary, I highly doubt that, I think you are extraordinarily, beautiful.”
He says as he gives you a smirk and looks you up and down.
This made you feel red in the face. You looked away from him to try to compose yourself.
“Ehem, thank you Optimus, I could say the same about you too.”
“Thank you, and since you like the name, maybe I should call you that more often.”
You think to your self god why did he have to make that sound so sexy?
Miko comes to walk in to see you off.
“Hey, guys are you almost ready for that date?”
Confused by her question.
“What do you mean Miko? I am ready.”
“Seriously you're going in that? No offense.”
“It’s just jeans and a sweater.”
“Yeah, I know but aren’t you supposed to wear dresses and stuff to dates?”
Oh, shoot she was right I was too focused on trying to be on Cody’s good side that I forgot to completely sell it.
“Good call Miko let me go get changed real quick.”
You run off to your dorm area in the base.
-Time skip to when you got done getting dressed.-
You only just popped on a nice simple dress that you barely wear because it’s only for special occasions, it was one of your favorites tho, though it was a blue dress with flowers all over it and it had a little bit of fluff to add style and volume. You loved how easy it was to move in it.
While looking at yourself in the mirror, you wondered what a certain someone who think or say if they saw you in this.
Finally, as you walk out.
You go to call Optimus he was talking to ratchet at the time but when he turned around to look at you, you see his optics slightly get bigger as they scan your figure.
"Hey, what do you think?"
You say as you twirl. And oh how he loved to see you do that in slow motion.
He feels like he could stare at you for hours. He smiles at you with a smile you would see rarely.
The kind that makes you feel lovesick.
"Extraordinary"
He whispers to himself
He stumbles on his thoughts and words.
"You look, magnificent M'lady."
Now it was your turn to stumble on your words. You pulled your gaze away from Optimus and started to get light-headed. Does he really think I’m pretty enough to be called magnificent? How am I possibly going to make all this up to him?
As you overthink and contemplate your self Optimus can’t help but keep looking at you, he almost thought there was something missing, not that you needed any changes to your beautiful outfit but still, he wanted to try to help you in a certain sense.
“If you will excuse me for a moment I think I got something.”
Optimus goes to walk to his bathroom to grab your flower crown that you gave to Optimus, as a thank you for saving your life. It did not fit him at all but he kept it safe and close to him because it meant a lot. Once he retrieved it he went back to meet with you and saw that you were on the phone with someone while looking at yourself in the mirror to make sure everything was okay.
“Alright Cody, we’ll… I mean I’ll see ya soon, bye.”
“-Okay bye sugar-”
You hang up and look in the mirror again fixing your hair a bit.
“Do you think I should put my hair up?”
Optimus smiles and walks over to you and kneels down behind you so that the both of you were looking in the mirror
“No, because there wouldn’t be any room for this."
You hum in confusion and then saw Optimus gently put the flower crown on your head, it fell over a little bit on one side but you fixed it.
“Haha awwww, you kept it this whole time?”
“Indeed it is very special to me.”
You turn to look at Optimus with the biggest grin on your face. And you can see how his gaze slowly softens at you as every second passes by. Unfortunately, the moment has to be ruined as Miko runs in saying that you guys were going to be late.
Breaking away from each other's gaze Optimus goes to transform into his vehicle mode, he opens his driver's side door for you to get in. When you got in you then guided Optimus in the direction of Cody's house. The closer you were getting to his place the more nervous and uncomfortable you were getting. Optimus broke you out of your thoughts when he spoke to ask you a question.
“(Y/N), from what I collected from the web there are usually two different types of movie theaters, one indoors and one outdoors. Which one are we going to?”
You thought to your self ‘dang he was fast to look that up.'
“We're going to an outdoor one, that's why we’re picking up Cody.”
Optimus hums to your response but it sounded like he was annoyed by that.
“What?”
You start to worry again and start to feel bad that you practically threw Optimus under the bus.
“Do you not like this idea you know if you don’t feel comfortable with him sitting in your seat then I can just-”
“No need, even if I feel some discomfort it doesn’t matter, because I made a promise to you, that I will stay with you the entire night. You matter more.”
You let out a breath of relief at his response. But feel conflicted to ask him a question again.
“Wait so if you're fine with him being in your seat then why did you hum like that earlier?”
“It's because I wasn’t fond of the idea of him getting to look at you the entire night while I would much rather do that.”
Oh dear god, this bot is going to be the death of me.
“HAHA, Optimus are you getting jealous, that's so sweet.”
I had to laugh it off, I lowkey can feel my cheeks burning.
He said with a bit of a cocky tone in his voice.
When we finally pull up to Cody’s house, (Y/N) got to go knock on his door. When he came out he had this stupid grin on his face and went to go hug her. I felt some rising anger in me because she looked like she didn’t like the physical contact. I really perform my arms around her.
When they got to my vehicle Cody tried to get in the front seat, but I locked my door before he could get the chance.
“Hey uhh, the door is locked did you leave the keys inside?”
“Uh no here let me check.”
Oh for the love of the primes let her drive.
“OHHH I’m sorry I forgot this truck only allows me to drive it because of fingerprints and voice activation, plus you don’t have a license to drive semi-trucks so I’ll just take us there,”
I can’t believe she just came up with that excuse for me, it's like she knew. I love this woman.
When she got into the driver's seat she placed her hands on the steering wheels and stepped on the peddle to start driving. There were some points where I was in control but at other points, she took care of me. The entire drive though Cody was actually on his phone, for the most part, he made small takes here and there. But when he would try to make a certain comment to (y/n) to try to impress her or get a reaction, she would fake laugh it off and grip tighter on my steering wheel. I could sense her hands her a little unsteady, so since I have heating sensors, I wormed up the steering wheel to let her know I was here and that it was okay. She relaxed a little bit and smiled to herself.
When getting to the drive-in movie theater and they get their ‘popcorn?’ a very odd name for a type of human substance. The movie that Cody picked was the notebook, it was one of those movie nights where humans go to watch classic films on the big screen. (y/n) mention before actually, it was one of her favorite movies that make her cry every time. Once we parked into our parking spot (y/n) pulled out her blanket and put her knees up to her chest, something that she does on a daily when she feels like it or feels anxious.
While we were watching the movie I could sense that Cody was staring at (y/n) for a time longer than he should have. I could sense her sinking into my seat feeling a little uneasy about this.
“Are you enjoying the movie?”
She asked.
“Not really it’s lowkey kinda boring.”
He replies
That little–
He gets to spend at least 2 hours with her and you say something as inconsiderate as that. If it were me I would watch this movie a thousand times if it meant I got to sit next to her.
“You know I have a better idea.”
He comments out of a sly evil tone.
(y/n) doesn’t look over but replies with a ‘what’.
“We could go someplace else and… try something new in our friendship.”
When he said that he reaches over to graze her arm with his disgusting hands.
She flinches away and gets ready to say something.
“You mean like mini golf hehe.”
She replies trying to shake off whatever he was applying.
“Not really, I was thinking something more, personal.”
Then when he started to move his hand to her thigh, that's when I snapped.
I made the seat that he was sitting in jolt up enough for him to get his hand off of her and hit his head.
I then opened my door and made the seat kick him out. Then when I did that I drove backward out of the parking spot and drove away from the perv.
“OPTIMUS! What was that? You could have blown your cover.”
“My dear, I will explain to you why I reacted in such a manner but wait until I drive to a more responsible area.”
She takes a second.
“Okay, I trust you.”
The drive there was quiet, I could sense that the shaking she had felt earlier had calmed down.
I pulled into an abandoned gas station that she and I tend to go to a lot because it was close to her house.
She steps out and I take a moment to transform into my bot form.
“Okay, let me hear it.”
She says to me in a demanding stance with her arms crossed, I felt bad for making her unpleased but at the same time, I found her anger surprisingly attractive and intriguing. I’ve never really seen her like this, she usually always has a calm demeanor or a smile on her face.
“uh eh, me first, (y/n) does he do this to you often?”
“No that was just the one time, but he always tries something to get me to sleep with him.”
“I never want you to see or speak to that piece of scrap ever again. I swear if he touches you again I’ll-”
“Optimus, I’m okay I swear, I’ve dealt with thugs like him before and survived.”
She states in a manner of cockiness but I know deep down that she hates the fact that she has to deal with such.
“No, it’s not fine (y/n), what if he seriously did something and I would never see you again?”
Oh, I see what this is about.
“You really care about me huh?”
“Can you pick me up real quick?”
Optimus doesn’t question it so he does what you ask of him.
He holds you but you weren’t close enough.
You say, and when he brought you closer, he lifted you near his ear because he thinks you want to tell him something.
But you don’t say anything, instead, you place a quick kiss on his cheek plate. He froze for a moment and goes to stare at you.
“What was that for?”
He asks with a smile forming across his face.
“It's me saying thank you, thank you for always being there when I needed you, thank you for saving me. Why? Should I have not done that-”
Without a chance to say anything else. Optimus goes to put you back down, panic started to well up within you thinking you made a mistake. But your overthinking was interrupted when he spoke.
“I really shouldn’t be doing this because it takes too much of my Energon but.”
And then just like that Optimus transforms into his holo form but his solid one.
Your eyes widen, you’ve seen his holo form before. His slick back hair with some white strands on the side, red leather jacket, combat boots, and joggers. One or two tiny scars on his face. One on his eyebrow the other just right on the tip of his upper lip. And his beautiful blue eyes that were staring right back at you. They were usually so calm but they looked intense this time, hungry…
Optimus walks up to you to close the distance between you two and goes to put one hand on your waist and the other on your cheek to hold your face. He looks at you with pleading eyes, then you nod your head for his consent. And he gently goes to kiss you patiently. But at the same time, it was rough and hungry, like he had been waiting all this time to be this close to you. But you felt the same feeling right back at him.
You break away with heavy breathing trying to form words and all you could get out was his name. His true name…
He huffs out and goes to close the distance again. He just couldn’t get enough. At this point, you guys were fighting for dominance, his hands Rome around your fragile frame as your Rome around his hair and his well-built chest.
What feels like minutes pass by you both start to calm down and pull away from each other. After catching your breaths, Optimus goes to look at you and lays his forehead on yours.
“Where did you learn that name from?”
“Ratchet told me, I think it's a very fitting name. But where did you learn to kiss like that or even know what kissing was?”
“I’ve been on this planet for a long time, and besides-”
He starts to get close to your ear.
“A true prime never reveals his secrets.”
His distinctive voice and sly tone sent shivers down your whole body, when he backed away his face a little, you saw one of the most devilish smiles you’ve ever seen him make. It was hot.
You become even more flushed and go to bury your head into his chest, he chuckles and holds you tighter, and looks up at the stars.
“You’re very beautiful when your face turns red you know that?”
“Should we head back to base?”
“Hmmm, perhaps we shall stay here a bit longer, I want to keep holding you.”
“But what about your Energon?”
“Okay 5 more minutes, okay?”
“Good, that will also leave me time to kiss you more.”
You laugh out loud and try to pull away but Optimus still holds you in his grip smiling to himself trying to get close to your lips again.
You think to yourself after that night, what will become of you and Optimus’s relationship? Friends with benefits? Something more. But at the same time, you just don’t want to care or worry, you’re just finally feeling some form of happiness for the first time in a long time.
