Miniformer Nemesis Prime cornering you after finalizing his plans to steal you away but being so cute in your eyes that you coo at him, thinking he's a lost bot because of the random cloth over his head.
He lets it go, ONLY because it's you, and lets himself be led to wherever you were going, which is home.
Nemesis never got the chance to see it back in his universe, so he takes a moment to see what interests you have. It'll be a great point of knowledge once he takes you back with him to your rightful home.
You certainly talk a lot more, but given the war back in his dimension, you barely did much of anything. So hearing your voice is a nice reminder that he records straight to his memory bank.
And being in your arms is quite nice, though it's not like he gave you much of a choice. The crackled sounds of displeasure when you TRIED to put him down or take the cloth off his helm made it very clear.
He pretends to be mute, writing things down on paper. A tragic story about the Decepticons damaging his face and voiecbox, being insecure, the whole sob story.
And to be extra safe, he shows the autobot symbol, which apparently means "hope" in this universe.
It seems to be enough to pull at your heartstings and stop you from prodding any further. Rather, you move to feeding him energon that was stored in case the bots had a hangout at your house.
A bit lackluster, dull even, but it coming from you makes it more manageable to digest.
Now, after a nice shower, he rests on your lap, watching you brush your hair. The smile on your face reminds him of the past…but he can't go back. No point in yearning for what can't be changed.
But he has a chance to remain by your side.
A chance he won't waste.
He turns, resting his helm against your chest, digits grasping onto your top, optics closing upon feeling your arms wrap around him.
The fact that you're being so gentle with him, a stranger, all because of a symbol...
Part of him wishes to scold you for being so naive, but he lets it go just this once.
To be in your embrace after so long is a gift...
One that IS time limited.
Nemesis knows his identity will be found out soon enough, but for now, he'll let you live in ignorant bliss. Hold him as if he's an ally to your Autobot friends.
But should anything go awry, he has a plan or five set up for any and all endeavors to get you to come with him.
He could lie and say he would hate seeing you mad, but any expression or emotion from you, directed to him, is a blessing all on its own.
