"GIVE ME BACK MY ORANGES!" Ratchet yelled, chasing after Bulkhead who was running while shoving down the citrus fruit hastily.
"NUH!" Bulkhead said, still gobbling down the fruit. Apparently, you gave the team some fruits to eat while you were thinking on what to prepare as the main dish, seeing that they looked like starving.
You weren't even sure about them consuming human food! But fruits are organic, so it wouldn't do much harm, right?
Harm to their bodies? No. Harm towards your living room? Absolutely.
"Hey! Calm down! There's more fruit than just oranges!" I yelled, lifting up a plate of slice apples. The two finally stopped chasing one another and sat back down on the couch, taking each a slice of apple and munching on them.
"I still want my oranges..." Ratchet pouted. I sighed and handed him a Mandarin orange.
"Here, try this. It's from the same family of oranges and much sweeter." I said, before heading back to the kitchen to think of what the hell am I going to cook for them.
They looked ripped and buff! Well I guess when you're fighting, you're ought to have some abs but for Pete's sake! They're freaking toned! Heck, even Ratchet had some biceps, and he's a the doctor!
...I still had a preference to Optimus's, though.
"(Y/N)! Can we have ramen please? I love your ramen! Please?" Miko asked, grabbing my shoulders from behind as she hugged me.
"But it's a lot of work and we're not even sure if the team can eat them, you know?" I sighed. Miko groaned for a moment before replacing the gloomy face with an evil smirk.
I know that smirk too damn well. It's her scheming smirk.
"I don't know what you're planning but I don't think I'm able to make ramen today." I said, rolling my eyes and going to the fridge. Miko leaned back against my counter and sighed dramatically, checking her nails while giving me a look.
"You know, you could reaaaally impress Optimus with those cooking skills of yours, right? I mean, to capture a man's heart, you gotta deal with his food!" Miko said, wiggling her eyebrows at me.
Slamming the fridge shut, I whipped around and gave the teen an annoyed look.
"Firstly, it's 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach'." I said before switching to Japanase.
"-Second, will you quit it with Optimus? He's a fucking leader of the Autobots AND A CYBERTRONIAN! What on fucking earth's name will he ever see in me!?" I hissed.
"Well, you can try! He's a human now!"
"Yeah, now. When he changes back into his whatever form, that guy still have duties!"
"But you liiiiikke him!"
"Shut up, do not! You mention this to Optimus and I'll throw all your Slash Monkey's merch you left in my house!"
"Wait- YOU KEPT THEM!?" Miko yelled, switching back into English and jumping off the counter to hug me. "I thought they went missing! Thank you (Y/N)!" She squealed, crushing me tightly.
"Y-Yeah! Now l-let me go or they're going to the trash can!" I said, rolling my eyes and pushed her away. The girl smirked at me before running up to my room, possibly to go find her merch, the brat knows her way around my house after all.
"Go give him a chance, baby!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Give who a chance?" Optimus suddenly appeared behind me. I let out squeal as I jumped, freaked out by the man coming out of nowhere.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Optimus apologised. His eyes held the same expression of his face and God...he's so cute.
"I-It's fine, I'm e-easily spooked, haha." I said, hoping to not be a blushing mess in front of the stunning man. Optimus peaked over my shoulder before looking back at me, tilting his head a little.
"What...are you doing?" he asked.
IS IT JUST ME OR DID HE JUST MADE HIS EYES GO BIG!? WHAT THE FUCK IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE HOLYSHITSTOP-
"W-Well, Miko wanted ramen but I don't have the ingredients ready. I could have them prepared but I'll need to take a quick trip down to the grocery store." I said, fighting the urge of smiling like an idiot.
"If it's too much trouble, we can have something else?" he offered.
"Uh...I-It's fine! I'll go g-get them ready!" I said, not wanting to make the guy sad. Rushing out of the kitchen, I called the annoying kid down.
"MIKO! GET YOUR ASS DOWN, NOW! AND DON'T MESS UP MY ROOM OR SO HELP ME, I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!" I yelled. Miko's footsteps could be heard as she pounded down the staircase and tackled me.
"OOF!" I went down with the crazy girl...or would have if it wasn't for Optimus. The leader caught us both steady with ease before casting Miko a disapproving look.
Hah, take that Miko!
"Miko, that was very dangerous." Optimus chided, still having his hands on my shoulders. Miko jumped off of me and snickered, running back to the couch with her guardian. Bulkhead gave me an apologetic look in reply to his charge's attitude, but I waved him off.
That little girl was an annoying brat, but she's my annoying brat.
Turning back to the team, I straightened up my clothes...oh shit. I was still my ratty clothes! Dashing up to my room, I slammed it and quickly changed into a plain black shirt with black jeans. Putting my hair up in a messy ponytail, I grabbed my necessities and stuffed them in a shoulder bag before running back down.
"Uh... I'm making ramen-"
"YES!" Miko cheered.
"-BUT I need to go out for a quick trip to the groceries. There are more fruits in the fridge. Miko, cut the fruits for the team, okay? AND, don't you fucking dare mess up my house, or I'll complain to BOTH of your parents!" I said, glaring at the Japanese girl before flashing a quick smile to the team.
"Yes, ma'am!" Miko said, saluting me. I gave a nod to Agent Fowler and was about to leave when Optimus grabbed my hand.
"May I...come with?" he asked, still giving me those to-die-for blue teary eyes. God, he can murder me in an instance with those looks. Jesus Christ.
"Er...s-sure?" I said. The Prime lit up and smiled.
Fuck. Hormones, stop it please! I need to live!
Stepping out of the door, I went into my car and Optimus took the shot gun seat. Starting up, Optimus gave me a soft chuckle as I drove away from my house.
"You know, usually it would be us doing the driving. This is...new." He said.
"Hmm...I see. Maybe when you return back to your original form, care to take me out for a spin?" I joked, though I was mentally kicking myself on the inside.
That was so lame!
"I will hold onto that, (Y/N). I owe you one." he said.
"Please, don't be so courteous. You're all welcome to stay as long as you like. Though, I can't believe Miko got into you...actually no, I can. That girl is a troublemaker." I sighed and pulled into the parking lot.
"You seemed close with Miko, are you two related?" he asked.
"Oh, right! I haven't mention it , have I? I used to babysit her when her host parents went out for a holiday or work stuff, so we had a lot of bonding time." I said and shut off the engine. I climbed out of the car and Prime did the same, though the latter was looking around, taking in everything.
"It's your first time, yes?" I said.
"Indeed. We are used to being so...large, it's quite fascinating to be small for a change." He said, giving me another heart-stopping smile.
Goddamn it, Prime!
I went in first and he followed suit. Optimus gasped at the amount of people in the supermarket. It was quite awkward, but his reactions were priceless...and freaking adorable.
I grabbed a cart and ushered him to go look around, with me behind him to push the cart. He shook his head and stayed by my side.
"I'm unfamiliar with the place, it is wise to stay close with you." he said, leaning close to me. I felt heat rushed up my cheeks and I turned away, chuckling a little and went to the dry food aisle to get my ingredients.
It was a long process, but I managed to get all the necessities. I got some pork bones for the broth, which was nice. To be honest, I haven't had ramen for a while, so this is a good change. After collecting all of my ingredients, I roamed around the store just to let Optimus have a chance to look around.
We stopped by the snack aisle and Optimus stood still abruptly. I peeked over his shoulders to look at what he was observing and saw a few kids holding up some snacks before running towards their mother. The scene was really cute and heart-warming.
"Little humans..." he said softly, eyes softened.
"Yeah, small kids. Miko and the gang are still considered kids, but these are younger." I said. He turned to me and leaned in close, his striking blue eyes looked at me fondly.
"I believe you are as cute, maybe even cuter when you're at that age." He said.
D-Did he just compliment me!?
"Ah-Ahaha...thanks Optimus." I blushed, averting my gaze from the Prime. He snickered and patted my head, which made it even worse.
Does he know how much effect he has on me, damn you Prime! STOP TEASING ME!
"Though, you are still very much adorable and beautiful too." He muttered the last part softly and turned away. I gasped and blushed even more, not able to handle the Prime's teasing.
Miko said about Prime don't party, I call that bull. Optimus Prime is a mother-effing tease!
"T-Thanks..." I stuttered, gripping tightly onto the cart handle. Optimus gave me a tiny smirk and I pouted, not liking how my emotions got the best of me.
"D-Don't tease me..." I said, looking away. A deep rumble erupted from the man and by the gods was his laugh captivating!
"I'm sorry, (Y/N). You are...fascinating. We still haven't had the chance to properly thank you, young one." he said. "Though, please don't let the team know about this." he added, wincing a little and scratching his sideburns.
"Oh, and why is that?" it's my turn to tease you, Prime!
"Perhaps it is wise if we keep this to ourselves, lest we not face with Miko's...comments." He replied. I choke back a laugh and the Prime held the same look as before, pouting a little.
"You're cute." I rebutted, nudging his arms before going to the register. Optimus rolled his eyes and tagged along. After I finished paying and loaded up the stuff into the car, we headed home.
"You're still cuter than me." Optimus muttered and I laughed, keeping my focus on the road.
"Am not! You have those cute blue eyes and when you pout it makes them even cuter!" I said, making a turn to my neighbourhood's direction.
"Hmm." Optimus hummed but said nothing...or so I thought.
"You're still cute."
"Optimus!"

We arrived back into my house safely after our bicker about who's cuter and unloaded the stuff from the trunk. I was glad that the house had NOT catch fire or in a mess, that's good.
I'll hang that little shit if she made a mess of my house.
Setting down the ingredients and stuff on my kitchen counter, I gave Optimus a pat on the back and ushered him out, not wanting him to work. They needed a break.
"But I want to help, you've done so much for us." He said, not moving from his spot. I shook my head and gave the mech a small smile.
"It's fine. Besides, you're my guest. I'll handle the cooking, you just wait up, alright?" I said, giving him another pat before prepping up my stuff.
"Very well. Thank you once again, (Y/N)." he said before going out to the living room. I sighed in content as I worked through making the food. About one hour later, the team smelled an aroma roaming through the halls and their stomachs growled.
"Food's ready!" I hollered, setting down the bowls onto the table. The team rushed towards the dining table and sat down eagerly. I placed down some chopsticks and forks, letting them choose between these two utensils.
"Bon Appetit." I said, taking my place. Coincidentally, Optimus was by my side.
"Thank you for the food!" the team said and wolfed down. Poor Autobots, they must be starving!
"By the star-spangled banner, this is good!" Agent Fowler complimented, slurping down the broth.
"Thank you." I laughed, still eating my noodles. Ratchet held up the noodles in fascination.
"Such intriguing fuel consumption. (Y/N), you must teach us how to make more of these, please." He said. I nodded in reply, thankful that they are enjoying the food.
"Sure, I'll send ya the recipe later." I shrugged. The team ate finish the meal quickly and sighed in content, truly enjoying the ramen very much.
Optimus finished his bowl and looked towards me with a grateful look.
"Very delectable. I enjoyed this very much, thank you." he said and I blushed again, giving him a weak smile.
"Anytime, big guy. Since you guys are going to be here for a while, I'll have all the joy of cooking for y'all!"

Location: Decepticon's base, the Nemesis.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Megatron roared, holding up his hands in disgust. Starscream was shrieking too, which only amplified his anger.
"SHUT UP, STARSCREAM!" He seethed, still unbelieving at his situation. Knockout was whining towards Breakdown while Soundwave was quiet, but his body language said otherwise. They were all very terrified and shocked.
"WHY THE FRAG ARE WE FLESHLINGS!?"
