Yo i really loved your Mer!Brainstorm pining on bot reader so can i have idw Mer!Optimus pining on bot reader?
Optimus had only met you a week ago, but the poor old mer had already fallen in love so fast and so hard.
Well… "met" may not be the right word, as he hasn't actually introduced himself yet. In all honesty you don't even know he exists. Not yet anyway.
He does plan to reveal himself to you eventually, but knows the existence of mermechs is something you land dwellers rarely believe in. He has a couple of doubts about revealing his existence to you, his main concerns being that you may run away or that you will write him off as an illusion. Though, with you being a dock worker he does think you may be more open to the possibility of his existence.
He's sure you've seen many things happen around the sea, so surely you'd believe him. Still, the thought of you not believing or running away makes him hesitate.
He can't stand the thought of you not showing up to your job where he can observe you load those heavy looking boxes on ships. He can't stand the thought of never getting to hear your funny jokes or cute laugh again. He especially can't stand the thought of never hearing you sing again, since you do it often when you work.
It's what originally drew the humpback whale mer to you after all.
Hearing that cheerful song leaving your vocalizer was what made him swim in for a closer look and listen.
"Once a day down by the bay, that's where he kisses me! A kiss for him and a quick swim is what my lover needs!"
Optimus knows it wasn't, but it almost sounded like it was tailored for him. A kiss and a swim with the nice, gorgeous dock worker? It would be a splendid time for sure.
He's certain that the song isn't intended for anyone at the moment, as he's been watching long enough and listening in on the other workers to determine that you're single.
He wonders if you'd make a new song just for him if the two of you did end up conjunxed? He would cherish it if you did, humming it to himself all the time. He would make one for you as well, although he is unsure if land mechs can make the same sounds as mermech's can.
The mermech is broken from his daydreams of a life together when he hears you laugh.
"Ah, it must be time to start the day." He says to himself as he watches you prep for your work from behind a nearby rock.
You start to sing and he closes his optics as he leans against the rock, imagining the song is for him.
Request for small blurb (headcanon or other) for TFA Optimus. How would he react to a Cybertronian s/o who wears a mask all the time only to find out they wear it to hide their sharp teeth (like it’s a decepticon trait and they’re afraid of people’s reactions)? Maybe he catches them trying to fix the mask after it being damaged in a fight and their baring their teeth in frustration.
Optimus Prime never paid too much mind to your size, even if you were bigger than him, because Bulkhead's a pretty big bot too. Even Ultra Magnus is rather tall, and so are the jettwins. But right now, in this moment, he understood perfectly why you're taller than most of the team.
He knew deep down that something was gonna go wrong today, he just never imagined that it'd be Lugnut going on a rampage through the city and managing to overpower both of you, especially since you're pretty strong, probably the strongest on the team next to Bulkhead, so you can imagine the horror that flashed across his when he saw Lugnut pick you up by the leg and swing you right into a building before grappling your face with his clawed servo.
Thankfully Optimus managed to knock him back when he rammed into him, but unfortunately for you Lugnut hadn't let go of your mask, so it ended up getting torn off, leaving a few nasty scratches on your face.
"Optimus!" you shouted, "Are you ok?" a look of worry plastered on your face before you sneered in Lugnut's direction
"Yeah I am, what abou-" He paused upon noticing you, this is the first time he's seen you without that mask… the first time he's seen your fangs. Fangs like the kind some Decepticons have.
You realize a little too late that your mouth is exposed, but you scramble to cover it with your servos anyway. It doesn't matter now though, he's already seen your fangs, and you don't doubt that he's going to have questions.
He must have noticed the worry and guilt in your optics because he turned his helm from you, "We'll talk about this later. Right now we need to stop Lugnut." he said in his usual heroic tone, but you could tell there was something else there, something that felt like anger to you.
"Right." You agree, standing up and brushing the rubble away.
-
"Why did you hide this?" Optimus questions you in the privacy of your shared habsuite.
Thankfully after you two defeated Lugnut he got your mask back for you and didn't bring it up to the other's once you got back to the base. But now? Now he's leaning over the table with his brows furrowed and a frown on his face. You feel like you're being interrogated by a cop that's gonna throw out all evidence and toss you in jail no matter what you say.
"I… I don't know." You lie.
"What do you mean you don't know?! You're a- were a Decepticon right?"
"In the past."
"How do I know you won't go back? Or that you're not a spy? We already had one Autobot end up being a spy, how do I know you haven't been one this entire time too?!"
"I'm not. I left the Decepticons long ago because I didn't completely agree with what the movement became. I just… I thought if you knew… you wouldn't want me around." You say, telling him the truth this time.
"How can I be sure though? How can I be sure I'm not putting my team- my friends- in danger with you around?"
You make a grab for his servo, holding it gently between yours, "Optimus please, just look into my optics for the truth, I never meant to hurt you by keeping this from you, it was so… it was so you wouldn't hurt me."
A look of shock crosses Optimus' face as he does look you in the optics and sees the worry, fear, and regret in them.
"I know the Autobots don't necessarily take kindly to those who were Decepticons even after we defect. I was scared I'd be locked away forever, or worse. I never meant for anything like this, I swear. And I swear I'd never hurt you or this team. I love you Optimus, and I love this team, it's the closest thing I've ever had to real friends, and I'd do anything for every one of you."
Optimus' expression softens at the sincerity in your optics, he can tell in his spark that you're telling the truth, "Alright," he says, taking a deep sigh, "I believe you. But I think maybe we should tell the team too, just in case another accident like today happens, that way there are no surprises. You don't have to go into detail about your past if you don't want to, but I think it's important that everyone here knows."
"Alright," you give him a weak smile, "We'll tell them then."
Hmmmmm post war... mtmte Optimus... just... idk... spending time with his (bot?) s/o? Like, he just makes time and they hang out????? IDK
Optimus was only semi-relieved that the war was over. He's been fighting for so long that he doesn't know how to do much of anything else anymore. And on top of that there's so much paperwork now, day after day it's just datapads of work to be filled out. He just sighs and sits down, ready to fill out more paperwork, same as yesterday.
His personal comm pings, he sighs again, expecting some kind of emergency meeting. He opens it and is rather delighted to find a message from you, a small smile breaking across his stoic face as he looks at the picture you sent him of yourself smiling in front of a building.
Wait a minute… he knows that building… he's working in it right now!
He leaves you a message. A simple "What are you doing outside my office?" He gets a message back seconds later, "I'm coming to pick you up silly! You deserve a break."
He looks down at the text, confused, why hadn't you mentioned anything about this the day before, he could have cancelled all his plans then.
His attention is snapped towards the door as it opens. You walk in, a smile on your face as you make your way over to the large mech and lean down on his desk, "I know this is short notice… but I thought you needed a break and I wanted to spend the day with you. We can go anywhere you want, my treat." You say leaning down and pressing your helm to his.
He closes his optics and leans to your touch, "I'm going to disappoint a lot of people for canceling my work plans today."
"They're big bots, they can handle it. Besides, Windblade and Starscream seem to have everything covered anyway." You say standing up straight.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
He looks down at his workload, optics softening at the thought of leaving it all laying there to go with you, "Alright," he says, closing his optics once again before standing and looking at you, "I think I can take some time off. For you." He smiles.
"Great!" You say taking his servo in yours as the two of you head out the door, "Where do you want to go?"
"Home," he responds, looking at you, "Having a day for just the two of us, being alone with you, that's all I want right now." He says, kissing your helm before putting his mask on, "You're the only thing I want to focus on."
Fluffy sceanario request for human S/O finding Naga!TFA Optimus in the woods?
It was well into Spring, the flowers were blooming, bees were coming out and buzzing around, the sun shined down through the vibrant green trees, the perfect day for a little hike in the woods. You can't remember the last time you got to wander around the forest, despite living so close to it, and you were quite excited to take a stroll through it and take pictures of the wild life there. You made sure your mini-backpack had everything you needed, cell phone and ID in case you got lost or had an emergency, a camera to take pictures with, your water bottle, and some crackers and fruity granola bars in case you needed a snack. You also made sure to slip some pepper spray into your pocket, just in case.
You headed out, making sure to first let those closest to you know you probably wouldn't be back until it was close to dinner time.
Once you reach the forest you pull out your camera, immediately taking a picture of the scenery. The light shown through little spaces from the tops of the trees, giving the forest a magical look to it. You soon spot some daisies that a bumblebee is resting on and slowly point your camera closer to get the perfect shot of the bee on the flower. After you take the picture you decide to get a shot of the flowers together, that's when you hear a rustling from behind you.
You turn your head to the right, hand ready to slip into your pocket for the pepper spray, and slowly stand up, "Hello? Is someone else here?" you ask, rather quietly.
The rustling sound happens again, this time happening to the left of you. You turn and ask once again, "Is someone here?"
You notice something quickly go into one of the bushes. It was just a glimpse of something, something that looked like a tail, so you calm down a bit, knowing that it's an animal. Still, you're on alert, you know well enough that just because it's a little animal doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. You're hoping it's just a little opossum hunting some food, or maybe a stray cat roaming around. You figure since it's an animal you'll probably be fine if you don't mess with it, so you start to walk away. You'll find another area to photograph, one where you won't be bothering a little creature just looking for something to eat.
You stop at a place not too far away from the rustling bush that has a fallen tree, taking a picture of it. It looks like it's fallen pretty recently, probably from one of the storms you had a couple of weeks ago. You hear a rustling behind you again and turn around. You spot the same tail quickly hiding itself behind a very big tree, but this time you get a good enough glance to notice it's blue and red.
Weird… you can't think of any animal around here that had that kind of tail. Well… other than maybe a snake or some other reptile, since they can be very colorful at times. You start to get a bit creeped out, almost like whatever that is… is following you. You put your camera away and press forward, not stopping until you come across a huge rock that you immediately duck behind.
You peek out from behind the rock but all you can see is the tail disappearing behind the other side of the rock. You do a small gulp and take out your pepper spray as you turn back to face forward. So it is following you. And whatever it is it's far too close for your own comfort right now.
You peek around again, this time on the other side, and yet you still don't see what this thing could be. You turn back, only to be met with an azure, somewhat metallic face with sparkling turquoise eyes peering at you upside-down from the top of the rock.
You let out a scream and the creature screams as well and retracts as you fall forward and shuffle to your feet, shakily gripping the pepper spray as you aim it at the creature.
"WHAT ARE YOU?" You shout.
"What are you?" The creature asks back, peering over the rock at you.
"YOU CAN TALK?!"
"So can you!" The creature hesitates for a moment, before slithering back to the top of the rock, "At least that'll make this easier I guess." He says coming down from the rock in front of you.
You can see it clearly now, this thing looks like it's half snake, half robot, and it towers over you. It's metallic in some areas and looks like a snake in others, it's lower half is that of a snake, a San Francisco Garter Snake from the looks of it, and the top part is more man- er, machine, and it's voice is somewhat robotic.
"Stay back!" You say pointing the pepper spray.
"Hey, it's ok! I'm not gonna hurt you!" He says putting his hands in front of his torso, palms forward, "Look, I kind of crashed my ship and got stuck here but… I'm not exactly sure where here is."
"Ship?" You ask, tilting your head a little and lowing the spray a little.
"Yeah. I tried asking some other native creatures for help but… they couldn't really speak any language I could download."
You stare at this creature, so many thoughts racing through your mind. 'This is an alien? Certainly looks like it could be one. Am I going to die? Is it going to eat me or dissect me? What does it mean by downloading language?'
"Hey are you-" The creature slithers closer but stops when you raise the pepper spray again. He stares at you for a moment then backs up, "I swear I'm not here to cause trouble, I just want to repair my ship so I can go back to Serpentron."
"Serpentron?"
"It's my home planet."
"So you are an alien." You look down at the ground for a moment, 'Holy shit, a real live alien! It's in front of me! Crap I put my camera away…'
"Can you help?"
"Huh?" You turn your attention back to the creature.
"Can you help me repair my ship?" It asks again, a pleaful look in his eyes.
"Sorry, I don't think I'd know how..." You say.
"Oh," the creature gets a sorrowful look that almost makes you feel sorry for him, "Ok. Maybe someone else in the forest can. Sorry for scaring you by the way." He says before he starts to turn around.
"Wait!"
He looks back at you.
"I don't know if I'd go around just showing myself to anyone around here if I were you." You tell him. You're not even sure why you're giving advice, but there's something about this creature, now that you really look at him, that you feel is trustworthy and good, something worth protecting, "Since you're not from this planet some people might try to hurt you… they might try to experiment on you or something to learn how you work."
A look of shock crosses the creature's face, "Oh! Well, thanks for letting me know that. So some of the people here are hostile? I guess I'll have to be more careful from now on. I guess I'm lucky you're one of the good ones then." He smiles, and it's such a pure, sweet smile that you feel at ease.
"Uh, yeah, I guess."
"Sorry again for scaring you," He says.
"It's alright," you say, slipping the pepper spray back into your pocket, "Is your ship in this forest?"
"Yeah, it's closer to the end of it on the west side though."
"I uh… I doubt I could actually do repairs, but I might be able to bring you some tools some time." You offer.
"That'd help a lot!" He smiles that cute smile again.
"I'm y/n, by the way." You say inching a bit closer to the creature now that you realize he's not a threat.
"My name's Optimus Prime," he responds, "It's nice meeting you."
Surprise kisses from their s/o, either in public or private. TFA Optimus, IDW UM/MA and IDW Rodimus
Optimus Prime
Optimus loves your spontaneous kisses! He prefers them in private but he doesn't mind when you give him kisses in public too.
His favorite places to get kisses is on lips, cheek, and the top of his helm.
The only time he'd actually protest to a kiss is if it's in front of a Decepticon.
He does get a little embarrassed when you kiss him in front of his superiors and teammates too.
Ultra Magnus/Minimus Ambus
He prefers if you keep the kisses private. If you kiss him in public he scowls (not because he doesn't like the affection he just thinks it's unprofessional).
He likes being kissed on his cheeks, his nose, and his servos the most.
He has rules for kissing him (mostly just don't kiss him in front of the crew, especially Rodimus, Megatron, or Whirl) and if you ignore them to kiss him he'll put you in a "time out".
If you give him surprise kisses in private though he becomes a blushing mess, sometimes covering his face with his servos in embarrassment.
Rodimus
He LOVES your surprise kisses and will often give you some in return later in the day.
His favorite places to be kissed are his lips, neck, and chest.
He is cool with private or public kisses, and sometimes they turn into full on make out sessions (even in public).
He likes it when you give him surprise kisses while he's in the captain's chair just so he can shoot A Look™ at Megatron to make him uncomfortable.
Pining Ratchet, OP and Prowl TFA style again please? It's very obvious the reader also has a crush on them too, maybe they even accidentially HEAR them admit it.
Optimus Prime
He’s actually kind of excited once he thinks you may like him back.
He’s also scared as hell too! He’s never been with a human before what if he messes up?! What if you like him but don’t actually want to be with him?!
He wants to ask you about it but he also doesn’t want to embarrass you so he’ll wait a bit longer.
He overhears you talking to yourself. He doesn’t mean to eavesdrop but when he hears his name he lingers a bit longer, when you mention having a crush on him his spark flutters and his cheeks glow.
He decides to wait until later that night to tell you he overheard you and confesses that he feels the same way.
Ratchet
He first starts suspecting you have a crush on him when you hang around him more and laugh at a few things he says.
He pushes those thoughts down though, with “Ah of course not” and “I’m too old” and “I’m not attractive enough for younger folks to chase after me”.
When he overhears you trying to practice a confession a faint smile crosses his face as his spark chamber warms up.
He won’t tell you he heard you and he’ll let you decide whether or not you actually want to make an actual confession to him.
If you tell him he’ll try to act like it isn’t a big deal but you can see his cheeks glowing as he tells you that it is kind of nice that someone would actually take interest in an old bot like him and that he’s maybe taken an interest in you too.
Prowl
Prowl actually suspects pretty quickly that you may have feelings for him.
He will not bring it up of course, he knows that if you do like him you will tell him on your own time.
He overhears you talking to yourself and stealthy listens outside the door when he hears his own name mentioned, and smiles when hears your confession.
He will patiently wait for you to come to him with your real confession.
Once you do he tells you his feelings for you as well, he also mentions that it must have taken a lot of bravery for you to tell him and that he’s proud of you for finding the courage to do so.
TFA Optimus with a human crush who thinks they don't stand a chance because of his past with BA?
You’ve had a crush on Optimus for a while now. You were going to tell him eventually, you just had to muster up the courage to do so.
Then it happened.
You and Optimus were in the forest trying to avoid Blackarachnia when you two got separated. You eventually stumbled upon Optimus backed against a tree holding onto Blackarachnia wrists.
You heard them talking about their past. You learned they used to be friends…maybe even more. The way they talked to each other… it sounded like Optimus still has feelings for her.
That was a week ago. Optimus hasn’t brought up Blackarachnia. You’re not sure if you should either. You’re also not sure if you should bother telling Optimus you like him now.
It didn’t help that you wrote Optimus a love letter last week either. You wrote down your feelings for him on a piece of paper and stuck it in a pink envelope with heart stickers and Optimus’ name on it. You usually keep the envelope with you in your backpack and you do plan on throwing it away eventually since you can’t give it to him now.
You ended up going home early today. Once home you plop down on your bed a lay there for a few moments before reaching for your backpack.You rummage around looking for the letter and your heart nearly stops when you can’t find it. You end up taking everything out and even turning the bag upside down and shaking it, but still no letter.
You grab your apartment key and rush out the door to go back to the Autobot base. You hope you lost it on the street somewhere or the wind blew it into the water and destroyed it.
You eventually reach the base and rush in only to stop dead in your tracks as you look on in wide eyed horror at Optimus holding an opened pink envelope in one servo and the letter in the other, he has it lifted to his face reading it.
You start to turn around to leave when he notices you in the doorway.
“Y/n? Did you write this?”
You stop, “I uhhhh… I umm,” you put your hand over your face, “Yes.” you let out in an almost whisper.
Optimus walks over to you and kneels down, “I had no idea you felt this way. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
You tilt your head down, hands still on your face, “Because you like Blackarachnia. How could I ever compete with someone like her?”
Optimus’ cheeks glow pink and he scratches the back of his head, “Well yeah… I did… I do. I think? I know I definitely miss Elita. But I… I like you too, y/n.”
You remove your hands and turn your head to look at him over your shoulder. Optimus notices your eyes and red and watery.
“I’m sorry I didn’t meant to upset you!” His tone is worried as he waves his hands in front of himself, “Here,” he hands you the letter and envelope back, “I guess I wasn’t supposed to read this after all, sorry.”
You turn around and take them, fold them, and shove them in your pocket. The room is quiet, you stare at the floor and Optimus keeps his optics on you.
“You don’t need to compete.” Optimus finally breaks the silence.
You snap your attention up to his face, “What?”
“You said ‘how can I compete with her’…you don’t need to. I like you the way you are, and while I do still care for her, Blackarachnia is not the bot she used to be.” Optimus stares down at you with soft optics and glowing cheeks.
He ushers you in for a hug and you step forward into his arms.
“Any chance I had with Elita… it’s gone…I don’t want that to happen with you too.” He says holding you close to his chassis. He can feel tears form against him.
“I should have told you sooner.” You choke out with tears falling down your face, “I love you.”
“It’s alright.” He says in a soothing voice and placing a servo on your head, “I love you too.”
