Hello, new around here but is it alright to request a transformers bayverse headcannon with bumblebee, Optimus and possibly crosshairs who have a human (romantic or platonic I'll leave it to you!) who was raised by a femme cybertonian their whole life on earth which means their deeply attached to the bots? And their little human just sometimes forgets English entirely and just talks in cybertonian?
hi!! thank you so much for this request, it was so cute to write about - all three are written as romantic, but I wasn’t super sure on what to add for bee so i’m sorry if its a little bland warnings: none word count: 537 (GN reader)
-----------------
Optimus:
Completely floored when he hears you speak his language for the first time
“Where… where did you-“
“Long story short, robot mom.”
He’s very interested in your past, and asks for you to tell him about it – and he’s surprised he didn’t learn about it sooner
At first he was under the impression that you only knew the basics, and offers to give you a few lessons
But when you answer in completely fluent Cybertronian he just puts his servos up and apologizes
Encourages you to read history books or any other subject from Cybertron, if you’re into that
His planet and it’s culture means a lot to him, so knowing that you’re able to be part of it in any way makes him feel way closer to you as a partner
When it’s busy he’ll sometimes forget that you can speak his language, so his processor just shorts out when you remind him with your own words
Since he feels more comfortable speaking his native language than any Earth language, he’ll often vent to you or ramble about something in Cybertronian
Feels way better afterwards too, especially since he knows you can understand all of it
Sometimes he’ll read Cybertronian poetry to you when you cuddle
And if you ever read any to him he’s a complete mess – won’t stop thinking about it for hours
Crosshairs:
Being the ignoramus he is, he didn’t have the slightest idea that you could speak Cybertronian, despite you using it with the other bots pretty often
He would casually flirt with you under the impression that you had no idea what the hell he was saying
So imagine his surprise when he shoots you a pick-up line and you actually respond in the same language
Immediately thinks back to what he’s said that you actually understood
Regret.
You just start cackling and he curses you out, stomping off somewhere else
Comes back later to interrogate you on how you know Cybertronian
Later on you both end up flirting back and forth with eachother in his language
Not exactly super interested in your whole backstory, but he does think it’s cool as hell that he can properly speak to you without any language barrier
Particularly likes hearing you curse someone out
But in the end he does genuinely feel a lot closer to you
Bumblebee:
So his partner can speak a language from another galaxy but he doesn’t even have a voice box?
Geeks out over it
He actually really, really likes when you speak Cybertronian
Gets super curious about how you learned it and wants to know about the bot who raised you
Thinks you’re even cooler than before (which seemed impossible)
Genuinely thought he was tripping or something when he heard you speak Cybertronian for the first time
Get’s kind of upset that he can’t speak his language back to you, considering American radio channels and movies wouldn’t have alien languages in them
It helps when you just ramble to him without him having to say anything back besides body language and touch, it’s a nice distraction that helps him zone out and forget about everything else going on – especially that, as far as he knows, he can’t speak his own language anymore
Either way gets super excited about you knowing elements of his homes culture
