---kinda fluff that might lead to slighttttt angst---
Ultra Magnus shook his head with slight disapproval.
You were reckless, extremely reckless. Climbing the tallest trees without giving any second thought as to how you'd be able to climb back down, skateboarding along the highway admist speeding cars and most of all, being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The latter, being the reason how you two met in the first place.
The day started out like normal, just how any other day would. It felt like a good enough day to go bike riding outside near the forest area, so that's what you did.
Ultra Magnus was doing what he usually did, watching the Autobot brothers fight against the Predacons. Since it was just the Predacons he didn't feel the need to interfere, besides the brothers were handling them quite well. The ruckus they were creating though succeeded in gaining your attention as you happened to be passing nearby that place.
Pulling the brakes on your bike you looked around trying to locate the source of all the chaos before you confirmed it's origin. Any other person would have thought of booking it outta there, but then again you weren't just 'any other person', you were Y/n L/n. With a determined look in your eyes you tightened your hold on the bike's handles and started making your way towards all the chaos.
Big mistake. Those were the only words running through your mind as you stayed there, frozen on the spot and staring up at the ginORMOUS ROBOTS FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
Thankfully, due to your small size as a human, they didn't notice you standing there admist their fight. Not so thankfully though, that became a problem the moment the Autobot brothers moved out of the way to avoid getting hit by their lasers, lasers that came charging towards your direction.
The Autobot brothers chased after the Predacons as you tried to move out of the lasers' path, emphasis on 'tried to'. You had ended up stumbling due to the sudden movement and watched as the lasers got closer, before covering your head with your arms and screaming bloody murder.
Ultra Magnus, on the other hand saw this as his optics widened. 'What in the world is a human doing over there?!', he quickly brushed aside that thought and rushed towards you, speeding up to make it to you.
As he reached you, no time was wasted by him in grabbing you in his servos and bringing you to close to keep you safe while he flew away from the blast radius of the lasers.
Upon reaching a safe distance he placed you down on the forest ground, as he tried to examine you over for any injury before his optics met your eyes in a staring contest. He thought you were scared of him, how he towered over you. But boi was he wrong.
When he had asked you for any injuries instead of replying you just stared up at him in awe.
Since you had gotten lost in the forest and had no idea where you were by now, he had agreed (albeit reluctantly) to take you back to the city. Once inside the cab of his alt-mode, you complimented how comfortable his seats were. He had just picked an alt-mode at random to help him get around this planet, never had he expected anyone to compliment him in any form. It felt...weird...in a good way.
Heh, this human was tolerable.
As you both reached the city, he opened his can door allowing you to step outside. Before he could drive off you stopped and asked him for his name, finding no harm and wanting to get going back to his work he quickly responded to your question.
You smiled and nodded. "I'm Y/n L/n. Nice to meet you. Thanks for the lift and for saving me back there"
He revved his engine slightly as a sign of acknowledgement.
"Anyyyyways, I'll get going now. See ya around Mags." You lightly pat the top of his alt-mode's hood and go about your merry way leaving him behind to grumble out "Magnus not Mags" but you were already out of earshot.
Letting out another sigh he drove off to get back to his work of s̶t̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ watching over the others.
A few days later, he bumped into you again, quite literally.
You had heard of this amazing new cafè that had recently opened up, sooooooo you thought what better way to go check it out than to go there skateboarding. Grabbing your trusty skateboard off the shelf, you were enjoying yourself skating along the highway all the while listening to the music blasting through your headphones.
At one point when you tried to cross the road a fast moving vehicle suddenly pulled to a stop infront of you before it hit you. Removing the headphones from your ears you waited for the angry driver of the vehicle to step out and yell at you, only, no one came out. You thought you were off the hook until a sudden 'What were You THINKING?!' came roaring from the vehicle. About to make a run for it you suddenly remembered your new friend as you happily waved at him, completely neglecting how a minute ago you were about to be run over.
"Hiya Mags, how ya' doin?"
"It is ULTRA MAGNUS not MAGS!" Letting out a loud rev of his engine to provide emphasis on his anger at your reckless behaviour, he continued on yelling and nagging at you.
Later on he dropped you off at the cafè along with your skateboard stating he was preventing a road accident from happening due to someone's carelessness.
Weird as it was, he kept on meeting up with you at the strangest of places. When he met you while you were stuck on a tree after trying to save a cat, or when you almost drowned yourself by falling into the water while attempting to take a picture of yourself posing like a seagull on the edge of the local bridge. The list goes on and on.
At first it used to drive Ultra Magnus mad, hell it even annoyed him to some extent. How can someone be so reckless. But as time went on, he got over it after he came to understand that this was just how you were, these things just happened without you intending them to.
Aside from the usual..'incidents'..he found *coughcough* rescued *coughcough* you in.
You were pretty good company. How you sheepishly smiled and finger-gunned at him whenever he caught you in another 'incident'. How you used to have this sense of understanding, of..of empathy whenever he used to tell you of his relation with Optimus and how he wanted for the Matrix of Leadership to be with him instead of his brother. How you looked up to him in awe when he told you stories of his battles. How you laughed after making the silliest of puns, they were terrible of course, but he wouldn't tell you that, he'd rather see your rosy cheeks, you tumbling while clutching your stomach as you kept on laughing. He liked seeing you like that, hell he liked you.
Somewhere between all your reckless activities and calm moments of just relaxing in his alt-mode's cab. He had fallen for you.
He never made any moves cause duh, when you are trying to face off the Decepticons and the Predacons all the while having to watch over your friends, who would be able to.
Also, he figured it best to keep you away from it all. You were already so reckless, so prone to incidents, on top of that if the Predacons or worse the Decepticons caught a hold of you due to your connection with him, who knows what they'll be capable of doing to you. He couldn't let that happen to you.
So he buried his feelings and himself admist his work, defeat Megatron and his henchmen and get a hold of the Matrix from his brother. Besides, you were one of the only good things that happened to him in so long and he'd be damned if he let anything happen to you.
But with the luck he has, good things never stay with him for long, do they.
Never had he expected this to happen. No, he didn't want it to happen that's why he had worked extra hard in his missions, he even went as far as to stop spending too much time with you just he could keep you safe. So how..HOW....
He tried to keep himself together as those thoughts ran through his processor all the while cradling your lifeless body to his chasis.
It wasn't supposed to happen. How did it happen. How did he not know that you tried to follow him, how did he not notice you had been there.
You had been caught by one of the Decepticons to be used as a bait, to be used as a bargaining chip.
How could he let it happen...The tight grip of the Decepticon on you as you writhered in pain, only causing the grip on you to be tightened. He had frozen up on spot seeing you like that.
Magnus didn't see anything else but you, not the decepticon holding you with a gun aimed at him, not even the fellow Autobot who shot the Decepticon causing him to lose his balance and grip on you, allowing you to fall freely.
The only thing that snapped him out of his daze was your scream. He quickly rushed to get to you...Primus he never ran that quick before, but...it wasn't fast enough. He helplessly reached out for you, watching you fall and hearing you scream before it was all reduced to a small thud and crack of bones as the sounds of your screams stopped.
The moment your screams stopped, so did the world around him..and..so did his spark.
He fell to his knees before you as his servos hovered in the air above your unmoving, unresponsive body.
Finally he managed to hold you, and turned your head to face him.
Your eyes...the same eyes that held so much life in them, that always looked up to him in awe, now they were dull and lifeless. Your lips...your beautiful smile that used to warm his spark, your beautiful laughter...all gone and replaced with blood..YOUR blood.
He kept staring at you, hoping, WISHING that any moment now you would burst out laughing and tell him it was just a prank. That you would smile at him and this time look up at him with not just awe, but with the same amount of love that you used to before. The love he had seen but chosen to ignore so he could prevent seeing you like this.
But what does it matter, you still ended up like this. What an idiot he was. What A STUPID, SELFISH IDIOT HE WAS. He only cared about defeating his enemies, he only cared about getting that Matrix of Leadership. Admist all this...he lost you...How he would gladly give up anything, anything at all, be it the Matrix, be it himself, ANYTHING. Just so he could tell you how sorry he was for pushing you away. Just so he could tell you.."I..love y-you."....
He sighs as he gets hit with another feeling of nostalgia, before placing the wildflowers he had found on his way here, near your grave.
"It's over....We defeated Megatron." He paused as if waiting for you to respond.
"I didn't take the Matrix though...I don't think I even want it anymore, besides, Optimus deserves it anyway..."
"..We're leaving for Cybertron tomorrow...so I just thought..I just wanted to see you..one more time before I left...and..and...and wanted to apologize to you for pushing ypu away like that,...for not being able to protect you and for not being able to tell you how I felt.."
"..I'll always remember you and...I'll love you.. always..."
He kept staring at your grave as if trying to imprint a picture of it all in his memory banks before he finally transformers back into his alt-mode and makes his way back....
