Title: I Bring You a Song

Author: The Emcee

Pairings: Optimus/Cade; Drift/Crosshairs; Bee/Cade

Summary: Random, unrelated song drabbles featuring Optimus/Cade; Drift/Crosshairs; and Bumblebee/Cade. Slash.

Disclaimer: I own nothing – not the characters, fandom, or the lyrics.

A/N: I just felt like writing drabbles based off of songs that I like and thought that could apply to the pairings listed above. I was going to upload them in my Making it Normal drabble collection, but as Optimus/Cade is the only pairing those drabbles focus on, I thought it best to make these a separate collection. All of the stories are unrelated and all that jazz. Let me know what you think! R&R. Enjoy!

I Bring You a Song

Optimus/Cade

"You're so hypnotizing

Could you be the devil, could you be an angel

Your touch, magnetizing

Feels like I'm floating, leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid

You're not like the others, futuristic lover

Different DNA, they don't understand you

You're so supersonic

Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your laser

Your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic

You're from a whole 'nother world

A different dimension

You open my eyes

And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me

Infect me with your loving

Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me

Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction

Boy, boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign

It's supernatural, extra-terrestrial"

E.T. by Katy Perry

Cade knew that Optimus was an alien. All of the transformers, good and bad, were aliens. That wasn't hard to forget even if he wanted to. It was quite obvious. Not just in how they looked though, but in the way they talked, especially Optimus Prime. Although they sounded just like humans, there were certain tell-tales that gave them away, at least it seemed that way to Cade. Like how Optimus didn't often use contractions and how he worded things.

Regardless of how he spoke, Cade knew that Optimus was an alien, but that didn't stop him from wanting him, from wanting to be with him, from wanting everything that he was, is, and will be. He knew that he was a little unhinged, what with having feelings for an alien robot, for falling in love with him. But it was Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots! How could one not fall in love with him?

Optimus was honorable and kind, strong and majestic, incredible and fair…the list could go on and on, and Cade knew that he would go on too. There was just something about Optimus, and it was something that Cade had felt the moment he had seen the old truck in the movie theater. Something drew him to it automatically and he went, having never been one to neglect or ignore his instincts. It was as though his body, heart, and soul were drawn to Optimus. And when they finally spoke, it was as though Cade was speaking to an old friend or flame.

It wasn't until Cade had had the chance to think about it, about Optimus and his feelings for the alien that he realized that he was in love with him. When he realized that, he damn well near slipped in the shower and knocked himself out. But it wasn't because he was disgusted or appalled that he was in love with a male alien robot; it was because it had taken him almost five months after Optimus had left that he had figured it out.

And when he had, after he had gotten over the shock of him being so incredibly stupid and after he was dried and dressed for bed, he had made up his mind. If or when Optimus returned, he would confess his feelings. He would hold nothing back, nothing at all, and he would be completely honest. Cade was a pretty honest guy to begin with; he only ever lied to protect the ones he loved and needed to protect. So every word that would come tumbling out of his mouth would be true and sincere.

He loved Optimus Prime and he wanted to be with him in any way possible and share the rest of his life with him. They would have their issues, he knew, considering that Optimus was a gigantic alien mech from Cybertron, but he was willing to go through whatever their relationship would entail if Optimus was open to it.

Cade wanted his touch, his kisses, his body, his mind, his everything. He wanted to hear his name on Optimus' lip plates and he wanted to feel a giant finger run down his back or pat his head. He wanted to climb into the empty cab and have Optimus take him somewhere, anywhere. It didn't matter so long as they were together. He wanted to talk with Optimus for hours about everything and nothing. He wanted to just sit with him underneath the Texas sunlight as it rose, climbed through the sky, and started to set. He wanted to gaze at the stars with him and ask him about all that he had seen and about Cybertron.

And Cade wanted to make love with him. He wanted to feel Optimus inside of him, moving, stretching him, and filling him up. Having never been with a guy, Cade knew that he'd be nervous, but he also knew that if Optimus was willing to be with him, he'd be gentle and caring. Just imagining how it would go turned him on and made him harder than he had ever been. Not even his love for Emily could compete with this and that was saying something. What he had with Optimus was a soul tie and it would mean so much more than just casual sex or a quick fuck. It would mean something, to both of them. How it would work, well, he didn't know, but he was sure that they would figure it out.

As cocky and arrogant as it sounded, Cade liked to think that he understood Optimus pretty well. He like to believe that Optimus felt something for him too, something more than friendship. It seemed as though he did. Not just in how he spoke to Cade, but in how he had always helped him and protected him…

Turning over on his side, Cade wished with all of his might for the day that Optimus would return. They would have a lot of stuff to talk about. Hopefully, what came of it would be good for both of them and make them both happy. He dared not think about what might happen if Optimus rejected him; the very thought sent a chill down his spine that seeped into his bones.

Shaking his head, Cade closed his eyes and curled up slightly under the blankets. He tried to stop thinking because he needed sleep. He hadn't had a good night's sleep since…well, since Optimus left and that had been the night he had slept in the railroad car with Shane and Tessa. That night, they had all been under stress and panic and fear, but exhausted had allowed them to sleep, exhaustion and the comfort that Optimus was still here on Earth for Cade anyway. But now, seven months after Optimus had left, two since he had realized he was in love with him, Cade couldn't sleep well to save his life. Nightmares plagued his dreams when he actually managed to fall asleep and when he couldn't, thoughts of Optimus made the wheels in his mind turn at a mile a minute.

Sighing heavily, Cade rolled over and face the bathroom door. Although he loved thinking of Optimus, not being able to get hardly any sleep make him unable to think and that just wouldn't do. If he turned off his brain, Cade would be able to sleep. All he needed to do was stop thinking. Just stop thinking.

Stop…thinking…

How much time passed, Cade didn't know, but he felt his eyes begin to droop and it was hard for him to stay awake. Just a few more minutes…

"Cade Yeager," a familiar voice called from outside of his bedroom window.

His eyes snapped open. He was suddenly wide awake. A big smile form on his face and Cade was out of his bed and stumbling clumsily to the window. He was back! He was finally back! It was-

"Optimus!" Half leaning out of the window, Cade smiled up at the object of his affections. Optimus Prime.

Optimus was back!

"You're here. I never thought…I had only ever hoped….You're…you're back," Cade rambled, his chest nearly burst with happiness and relief.

"Yes, Cade Yeager, I have returned to stay. For good," Optimus confirmed, smiling warmly down at him.

All Cade could do was laugh with happiness and joy. Optimus was back and he was here to stay and that was all that mattered right then and there. They would have plenty of time to talk. Later. But what was important was this:

Optimus was back and everything would be fine.
