A/N: Optimus is something like Jack's character in this chapter, and he swears!
---
"Hey (Y/N), check this out!" the rookie said. I laughed and came to his side, peeking over his shoulders to see what he was doing. He was holding a human version of a datapad and it was displaying a video of cute organic animal called dogs.
There were so many types of dogs and its younglings, which are named puppies. From Labrador to Golden Retrievers to Huskies, they all had a certain cuteness within them and I just can't help but want one.
...Except Chihuahuas, they are terrifying. They may be small but they are vicious. I'm absolutely terrified by them and I won't deny it. Jack let me watched a video the other day about chihuahuas attacking their owner and I must say, it's funny at the same time scary.
No thank you.
Anyways, me and Smokescreen were gushing at the adorable animal when a pair of heavy pedsteps brought us back to reality. Looking up, we were faced with the Autobot Commander, Ultra Magnus.
"And what do you think you both are doing?" he said gruffly, peering down at the tablet and plucked the device from Smokescreen's servo. Inspecting it, he tilted his helm in confusion as he saw a video of young Golden Retrievers running towards the camera.
"AWWW~" Me and Smokescreen cooed in unison, clutching our chassis as we sighed. The cuteness was too unbearable for us. Handing the datapad to Jack, Ultra Magnus started to chew us out.
"Instead of being useful for the team, you two decided to waste precious time on ...this!?" he said with disgust. Smokescreen and I looked at each other for a moment before the latter ran away, leaving me to deal with the lieutenant.
"TRAITOR!" I yelled. That bastard left me to fend for my own!
"Uh..." I stuttered as I scratched the back of my neck cables. Ultra Magnus had his gaze firm on me as he towered me over. The bot was nearly the height of Optimus yet his aura was scarier than the Prime. Without a word, he grabbed my servo and dragged me along with him; not giving me any second to reply.
"H-Hey!" I said, shocked and wrenched away my servos from the mech. We've arrived at the training room and we were alone. I gave the mech a small pout and rebutted; not caring if he has a higher status than me.
You don't just drag somebot around as you please!
"What was that for!?" I whined, gripping the side of my hips as I glared at him. Ultra Magnus said nothing as he continued to stare at me angrily.
"Come on big guy, say something! You don't just leave a femme hanging, you know?" I said, pouting even more at the mech. He scoffed at me before turning around and left me alone in the training room.
"H-Hey! Where y-your going?" I called out but to no avail. Ultra Magnus straight up ignored me and left me here to...I don't know? Reflect on my decision, I guess?
Running out to chase after the mech, I realised the commander had left base to go out and scout. Huffing, I turned around only to bump onto someone. I yelped and fell right on my aft. Looking up, I rubbed my behind in pain as I realised I've knocked over my leader, Optimus.
"I'm sorry (Y/N), I did not see you there." He said and pulled me up. I dusted myself and gave him a reassuring smile, apologising instead.
"No, no. It's my fault, I wasn't looking and bumped into you." I said, nodding at him. The Prime was about to speak up when I cut him off, setting a servo on his arms.
"Come on brother, it's not your fault. Besides, I can handle a fall. I'm not completely helpless, my dear brother of mine." I said sassily and Optimus optic rolled at me.
"I still do worry for you, doll." He said tenderly and nudged my audial fins. I narrowed my optics playfully as I shoved him back, earning a hearty laughter from my brother.
"And they say Primes don't party, I call that bullshit."
"Language, young one."
"I'm your twin Optimus, we are the same damn age."
"I'm still the older one, and you're small." He said victoriously. I gasped and slapped his chassis in reply, giving him a feign hurt look.
"How dare you!?" I said, mock hurt. Optimus had his eyes widen as he realised his mistake.
"N-No wait-"
"Ratchet!" I cried out, running to my favourite medic.
"Ratchet!" I called out again, earning a loud sigh from the mech.
"What is it now, (Y/N)?" he rolled his optics and turned to look at me. I tackled the medic and pouted as I tattled on Optimus.
"Ratchet! Optimus is being mean again! He called me short!" I sobbed dramatically onto the medic's chassis as he comforted me. A loud reply came from the hallway as Optimus was seen rushing in, panting as he caught up with me.
"I DID NOT!" he said, pointing a digit at me as he defended himself. I stuck out my glossa at him before continuing my whining at the medic.
"UWAA! Optimus's mean! I'm his twin and the same age as him! Why can he swear but I can't?" I whined, gripping Ratchet's arms as I sobbed loudly. The mech sighed as he patted my back comfortingly while sending the Prime a glare.
"Optimus..." he growled in frustration and Optimus grunted in surprise, not believing his audials.
"Ratchet, I'm your best friend!" he said undignifiedly. Ratchet rolled his optics and held out his wrench, waving it at the Prime dangerously as he spoke.
"And I'm the team's medic. Your point?"
"My point is-"
"it's a rhetorical question, Optimus."
"STILL!"
"Why are you picking on your younger sister?"
"AM NOT!" Optimus groaned and dragged his servos over his faceplate tiredly, sending a glare at me. I stuck my glossa out as I snuggled closer to my favourite medic.
"You're the best, Ratchet!" I said, hugging the medic tightly. Ratchet vented loudly as he patted my back, grinning back at me.
"Yes, yes. Now stop fighting with your brother and go apologise to one another." He said and I pouted but did as he told. Shuffling towards my brother, I played with my digits as I looked down on the ground.
"I-I'm s-sorry..." I said, still pouting. Optimus sighed and pulled me in for a hug, smiling as he hugged me close.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to call you short, sweetspark. But you're the only sibling I have, so it's kinda my duty to tease you once a while, doll." He smirked and I rolled my optics, though I had a smile on my dermas.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." I replied, lightly pushing the Prime's faceplate away as he leant in. Our sibling moments was cut off when Ultra Magnus cleared his throat, sending me a cold glare as he spoke.
"May I have a word, (Y/N)?" He said, emphasizing on my name. Looking towards Optimus, I gave him a shrug before walking towards the commander. Ultra Magnus sent a glare at Optimus for a moment, which was a first to me.
The Ultra Magnus, glaring at Optimus? Huh?
"Come with me." Magnus said, walking off first and leaving me. I had to pick up my pace to chase after him. His strides were longer than mine and I'm short, so I had to run after the mech, again.
"W-Will it k-kill for y-you to w-wait- OOF!" my sentence didn't finish as I bumped onto the mech's chassis. Looking up, I blushed a little at the close contact before stepping back, only to realise the commander had trapped my exit as he leaned over on the wall; successfully making me feel even tinier than before.
"You wanna tell me what's going on with you and Optimus? Or do we have to play the guessing game, (Y/N)?" he growled.
.
.
.
...Huh?
"W-What?" I blinked owlishly at the mech. Ultra Magnus clicked his glossa and growled, making me even more nervous as he cornered me.
"You and Optimus. What the frag is going on?" he hissed, but I could see some coolants pooling in his optics... was he jealous?
"Magnus...are you...jealous?" I hesistantly asked; looking at the mech incredulously. His optics widened and he backed away, looking down on the floor as he covered his face with the back of his servo.
"N-No! I-I just needed t-to..." he trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.
Stepping closer to the mech, I took the mech's servo and placed mine on top of it. Ultra Magnus froze and stood still as he looked away; coolants still pricking his optics and threatening to spill.
"It's not like that, Ultra Magnus. Primus, please no." I laughed dryly and held back a shiver. God, the thought of me and Optimus...
Ew.
"H-He's my brother, so um...yeah..." I muttered, scratching the back of my neck awkwardly. Ultra Magnus went silent as he gaped at me, shocked filled his optics and his coolants were gone in an instance.
"B-Brother?" he repeated and I nodded.
"Siblings; annoying older twin of mine." I said, chuckling.
Looking down, Ultra Magnus took my servos and cupped them with his as he spoke, his voice tender and soft.
"I-I'm...sorry, I didn't mean to lash out that way. Oh Primus, I glared-"
"Eh, it's fine. The Prime can take a glare." I waved the mech off.
"Still!" he insisted and I sighed.
"It's fine...why are you worried about me being a thing with Optimus though? Not that I want to be with him. Primus, no way." I said, shuddering a little. His expressions went dark and he stood tall suddenly, making me once again nervous with the commander alone.
"What about Smokescreen? Are you two...a thing?" he asked.
"What!? No!" I denied immediately. "Smokescreen and me? He's like a sparkling and I'm probably old enough to be his aunt or something!" I continued, gagging at the thought of us together. He's like my tiny child and no way in hell will I see him more than that.
Sighing, Ultra Magnus rubbed his tired optics before giving me a sheepish look. Wringing his wrist, he finally caved in and spilled the truth.
"I..realised I have a ...thing for you, (Y/N). You're the first bot to introduce me around and didn't treated me differently than the rest of the teammates...I-I've...fallen for you, (Y/N)." he said, looking down.
"Y-You- I-I- Me?" I fumbled with my words, not knowing how to reply. He was handsome; that I cannot lie. He does have some harsh temper, but beneath those covers he's actually a very kind and caring mech who didn't know how to express his feelings properly.
"I do like you too, Magnus." I smiled, taking in his servos and interlacing them with mine. Giving him a soft smile, I was surprised with a kiss as the large mech pulled me in and closed the gap. I closed my eyes and leant in, relishing in this loving moment.
After what felt like an eternity, we pulled away. I leaned onto his chassis and sighed contently, savouring this moment with the mech before me. Looking up, my optics twinkled with mischief as I taunt the flustered mech.
"So, I was right. You were jealous, weren't ya?" I teased and buried my helm into his chassis. A deep rumbled emitting from his chassis as he laughed. Pulling my face up to meet his, his gave me a light peck on the lips, smirking down at me.
"And what will you do if I am?" he challenged.
"It's not me who you should be worried about, ya know?" I said. The minute those words left my mouth, a loud banged pulled us both away from one another as the Prime and my brother stood in the middle of the door, his facial expression was mixed of horrified and hurt.
"What the frag just happened!?" He said, pointing his digits at us.
"LANGUAGE!" I snapped back, crossing my arms in front of me as I smirked at the mech.
"Why? Jealous because you're still single?" I smirked at my brother who sputtered undignifiedly once more. He sighed for a moment and dragged a servo over his faceplate, not believing that this was happening. Turning to look at Ultra Magnus, Optimus returned to his calm and Prime aura as he spoke, his tone stern and held with warnings.
"Ultra Magnus. I believe you would know the consequences of hurting my only sibling, yes?" he said, looking down at the commander. Ultra Magnus nodded as he held his stand firm against the leader.
"Crystal clear, sir. She's in safe hands with me."
"She better be." Optimus and sighed again. Turning to look at me, his optics softened as he came to me and gave me a hug.
"Congratulations, doll." He said, giving me a peck on the helm. I snickered in his embrace and he pulled away in confusion.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Well, I believe you got a date too, ya know?" I teased the Prime.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand?" Optimus gave me a dumbfounded expression and I face-servoed.
"Wow, you're dense." I muttered, giving the mech a look of exasperation before shifting into a smirk.
"RATCHET! OPTIMUS'S HURT! HELP!" I yelled and within seconds, the medic skid into the room; medical kit in his hand as he whipped around trying to look for his leader.
"WHERE!?" He yelled before setting optics on us. Deciding to give them both a push, I spun up a little lie.
"His spark was beating abnormally when I hugged him and I felt a rush of pain through our twin bonds! I feel like he's sick!" I said quickly. Optimus gave me a look of disbelief as he got dragged out by the medic.
"W-Wait- No-"
"EP!EP!EP! You're getting a full body check-up and that's an order!" Ratchet growled and pulled the mech away, but not before giving me a wink. I winked back in reply as I saw them both disappeared through the corridors.
"...Was that necessary?"
"Absolutely. My brother is too dumb for his own good. As the leader of the Autobot faction, you would think he's wiser and more in tune with his feelings but nope! That guy is such dense idiot! It's about damn time someone put those two together, they're such a married couple!" I huffed; leaning onto the commander's shoulder.
"Stick around Magnus, you'll see what I mean."
