You're Still You

By Ayato Kamina

Summary: A few days after her encounter with Optimus, she goes to find him and explain her feelings to him. Sequel to Unforgiving. BAxOP

It had been three days…three days since she left Optimus on Halloween night…is she ready now to explain her feelings to the one she once loved? She had a feeling in her circuits she should tell him…

Through the darkness, I can see your light

And you will always shine

And I can feel your heart in mine

Your face I memorize, I idolize, just you

She had to tell him…otherwise she'll be living in a world of darkness and fear…but where would he be…?

"Optimus?" she called from her comm. Link

"…Elita? Is that you?" the familiar voice of her friend asked

"Please…I need you to come into the city…I want to talk..."

"Stay where you are. I'm on my way." The link shut off and all Blackarachnia could do…was wait.

I look up to everything you are

In my eyes you do no wrong

I've loved you for so long

And after all is said and done

You're still you

The Autobot appears in the city as promise and transformed into robot mode and looked around. "Elita? Are you here?" he called.

"In here, Optimus…" a soft voice called as the spiderbot came from the alley.

"You…you wanted to see me?" Optimus asked.

"I wanted to talk about…what happened the other night…"

After all, you're still you

"Elita…I know you don't trust me…I just-"

"Want to help me?" Blackarachnia asked.

"Yeah…I do…"

"Well…I think I can trust you…but…I have something to tell you…"

"What is it?" Optimus asked as he walked closer to her taking her hand in his. So gentle…yet so beautiful…

You walk past me

I can feel your pain

Time changes everything

One truth always stayed the same

The spider bot took a deep breath trying to keep her composure…this is it…her time to tell him…

"I…I…" she whimpered, almost biting her lip, her eyes shut tightly.

"I love you..."

You're still you

After all, you're still you

Optimus gasped. He loved her? After what he had done to her in the past? He had asked for her trust and now…is this what love is for humans?

"Elita…is…is that true?" he asked.

"Yes…I always have…I just never had the heart to tell you…for over a thousand years…" she said sadly.

I look up to everything you are

In my eyes you do no wrong

And I believe in you

Although you never asked me to

"Elita…I…I love you too…"

Blackarachnia gasped. "Really?"

"Yeah…I always did…"

I will remember you

And what life put you though

And in this cruel and lonely world

I found one love

Optimus pulled her close and gazed into her…well four eyes and leaned in closer kissing her deeply. The spiderbot kissed back more passionately. He really did love her after all…

You're still you

After all, you're still you

Slowly the couple pulled away smiling softly at each other. "What about your friends?" Blackarachnia asked holding his hand.

"They don't know I'm gone…I just…I want to be with you…" Optimus said hugging her close. The spider bot leaned closer, happy to finally let out her feelings and trust the one she loved the most.
