Y/n sat there on the couch as she stared at Optimus and Ratchet as they stood at the controls, it was only those 3 in base, the others were out doing something with their partners so it left her alone with the 2 mechs, she watched as Ratchet's lip curved up in the slightest of a smirk when Optimus said something to him but even in such close proximity she couldnt hear but she wasn't surprised, their hearing was freakishly high. 'My pistons may be rusty but my hearing is as sharp as ever!' She recalled hearing him snap. She ever so slightly wondered if the two had more going on than they let on, she chuckled at the thought as they looked up at her

Ratchet's smirk has completely disappeared without a trace as it was replaced with a frown

Optimus looked at her curiously

"Hmm.." She hummed aloud smirking to herself but climbed off the couch and ran down the stairs and down the hall

"What was that about?" Ratchet muttered

"Your guess is as better as mine, old friend." optimus said a light smile ghosted over his face

Ratchet scoffed as he looked back at the monitor

Y/N came back with her art supplies, mostly her colored pencils and sketch pad as she plopped on the couch with her knees coming close as she rested the sketch book there and looked at there two "mmm.. mhm." She hummed as she went to work

The filth rummaged in her mind as her face turned a light pink, blush dusted her cheeks as she continued to draw her heated drawing. She sat there but paused when she thought of who would dominate who as she shrieked at the thought as she stared the sketch pad, coloring vigorously as her face turned red

Ratchet and Optimus looked at her when she made the noise

"Y/N Are you alright?" Optimus frowned at her red appearance

Y/N looked up but softly chuckled as she looked away and closed the sketch pad as she started to giggle as she wiped the tears at her corner of her eyes.

"Ratchet.." optimus glanced at him

Ratchet looked back at him with a confused frown "I don't know." His ray ran over her doing a body scan as she stopped and looked up at him.

'Ohhhh scrap!'

He frowned but poked at his arm when he read his readouts

"Its appears her hormones have increased rapidly and her body head has increased a few degrees.." he said as he continued to tap his screen

"Are you feeling ill?" Optimus asked

She quickly shook her head "no! Not at all it's just a .. joke i thought of it earlier."

Ratchet stared at her completely ignoring her lie as he knew something was up. Hormones are not increased by jokes. He had been reading up on humans and she knew with all the teenagers around he was definitely reading up on them.

"I disagree.." he said

Of course he had to open his mouth..

She looked at him and frowned, the level of fangirling and shipping had deadpanned.

"Its just a really dirty one, one you wouldn't understand." She said lying through her teeth

His optics ridge cocked up "really? I sincerely doubt that. Given our extra time I have been reading up on you humans and your humor."

"You hardly even have humor at all.." she muttered

He stiffened at the comment that he heard clearly

I sighed but glanced away and thought of a joke quickly "ok, fine.. umm hm how'd it go again..?" She glanced away "oh! What did the hurricane say to the coconut palm tree?" Optimus glanced at Ratchet as he cocked an optics ridge

"What?"

"Hold on to your nuts, this is no ordinary blow job!" She chuckled

Optimus casted his optics away clearly thinking

Ratchet's optics dimmed a moment as they twitched. He growled at it as she innocently shrugged "I told you.."

Optimus looked back but held a firm line across his lip plates "y/n.."

"I told you it was dirty why do you gotta judge me like that??" She turned and folded her arms "maybe if Ratchet didn't press for questions he doesn't wanna know the answer to.." She stuck her tongue out at him as he frowned, it was true.

They turned back to the monitors as she mentally sighed, she remembered that joke from overhearing her parents when she was younger. She didn't get it until for awhile but it still made her giggle now and then not matter how immature it seemed..

She pulled her sketch pad back up as she continued to draw and finally finished. She yawned and stretched out. Bumblebee and Bulkhead had arrived not too long ago as Bulkhead looked over and chuckled "tired?"

"A little I'll probably stay up for a little longer."

She ended up passing out on the couch only to be hauled off to Smokescreen's room for the night. He was her guardian but he also overseen the other children as well.

When she woke up she groaned and turned over but blinked tiredly when she seen Optimus

"Y/N, we need to talk."

She turned over and sighed as she nuzzled into the pillow but sat up "Alright.. about what?"

"This." He held something up but she blinked up at it as the light blinded her vision

"What is it?" She looked down and rubbed her eyes a moment

"Your sketch book."

"Ok.. and what about it?" She asked looking up at him

"Your most recent drawing."

She glanced away and thought a moment as she jerked up and bounced out of the bed as she looked up at him 'Ahhhh crap crap crap!' She frowned up at him, what was he doing looking through her sketch book anyway?? Her face heated up

"I have a feeling I understand more of your behavior yesterday.. Ratchet and I were concerned but it made sense after we connected it together." He frowned.

The visible frown was disappointing her that she couldn't explain herself.

"Why did you create this?"

"Teenagers... hah.." She looked up at him with a nervous chuckle

His frown didn't waver as he stared down at her

"Crap.." She grumbled "well- why were you looking in it anyway?" She asked

He looked at her "Out to curiosity we were hoping to find answers and we did but that does not answer my question."

"I don't know! Even I question it now that I look back.. I guess I just questioned just how close you guys were since you're always making each other smile or laugh, do you know how hard it is to get you two smile or laugh, huh?? But when you're around each other you two could care less. I know you're not all hard like you appear to be, I've seen that. But I just don't get how your guys relationship works."

His face unhardened as he looked down at her "y/n.. Ratchet and I go back many years, though it may not be intimate as you might think we were close once, much like i was to Megatron until we grew distant. Ratchet and I simply have time on our side like you do with Jack, Miko and Rafael, what you're referring to is our recollection of old memories, before cybertron fell.. though I do see why you felt the way you did, I've noticed during my research of you humans that you advocate with the same behaviors and it is simply not how it works with Cybertronians. We may have many similarities to humans but the behaviors of being intimate is not one." He said as he glanced away before audibly venting as he set the book down on the bed as she looked up at him.

She gained a better understanding as she felt really bad for assuming given they were two totally different species she didn't take into consideration of their different behaviors

"I'm sorry, Optimus guess I never really took that into consideration.."

He gently hummed but nodded

"But seriously, smile more!" Y/N pointed up at him

Optimus gently let a smile ghost over his face plates as he shook his helm "I will make no promises."

She grinned at him after he smiled "But it's adorable!" Her face turned red after she realized the words that flooded from her mouth "I mean- not that you're adorable I just mean the smile- not saying youre ugly it's just- UGH!" She flopped herself back onto the bed as she face stuffed in the blankets with an audiable cry as she pressed her face deep into the blankets but she jerked up "You get what I mean right??"

"Not quite, please, explain.." He looked at her with a confused expression as his optic ridge raised

She groaned as she looked up at him "What I meant is it's just really nise to see you smile-" her eyes widen when she noticed the amusement in his optics "Oh my God, Optimus!"

He let a wide smile spread across his firm lips

Y/N practically screamed and fangirled at the adorable smile he showed but reminded herself that he tricked her

"Optimus!" She shouted with a dramatic gasp "how could you lead me on like this? I feel betrayed!"

He contently looked down at her "But what did you mean, y/n? Why try to cover up a compliment?"

She puffed her red cheeks up at him in a childish manner "Fine! You want the truth?? You're handsome and that smile is adorable ain't nobody gonna deny it so smile more!"

He simply smiled

"Stop teasing me!" She whined

"Who said I'm teasing, y/n?"

She frowned up at him "know what, just go away! I gotta get ready for work and you're not helping!" She waved a dismissive hand at him as he held the smile on his face plates as he nodded and walked out

She slammed her face into her mattress when she flopped onto the bed as she groaned, muffled by the blankets. She got up and got dressed for the day before leaving the room as she left and walked out to the main room, not to much surprise there was Ratchet and Optimus but with them was Bumblebee as he whirred and beeped at Ratchet before walking down the hall and past her.

She walked over "Ready for the job I hate.."

Optimus looked over as a smile ghosted his face again as ratchet looked at him a moment before starting up the groundbridge.

She choked at the thought of their conversation bot too long ago but waved before walking through. It was nice to as the big bot smiling..

~~~~

Ratchet frowned at Optimus a moment "Did I miss something?"

"Plenty, old friend." He said before beginning to explain as Ratchet mused a moment before sighing "Though she isn't wrong.. it is nice to see you smile." He grumbled

Optimus smiled once more as Ratchet looked up at him "what?"

"Just that you share the same opinion as y/n." He said

"Well it's true.." ratchet muttered was he turned to the monitor

For all you guys who love a good joke and know music here's another one. A bonus

"Why did the guitar teacher get arrested?"

"For fingering A minor"

And if you don't get that I suggest you ask someone who does because I found it hilarious mostly because I'm in a guitar class myself
