A/N: First fic in ages. Life took over, then I lost inspiration. This fic is based on a headcanon I wrote on tumblr which was supposed to be two lines, but somehow morphed into a drabble, so I decided to upload it here. Furthermore, before uploading it here, I decided to edit it and expand it a bit, and from there it turned into something else entirely by the end, so I ended up with two different versions of it. I'll be posting the other version later.

Anyway, on to the fic!

Title: Dreams

Series: Transformers Prime

Pairings: (could be viewed as friendship or implied romance) Megatronus/Orion Pax, Optimus/Ratchet

Disclaimer: I never would have thought of giant alien robots coming to earth, so I definitely don't own Transformers!

Optimus often dreams about Megatronus.

Sometimes the dreams are pleasant; memories of amicable meetings discussing ideals for a new Cybertron, or sometimes the quiet moments where they simply enjoyed each others' company. He dreams of a past where they worked together - peacefully - to accomplish their goal of equality and freedom on their beloved Cybertron. There's no fighting; no war. He recharges with a smile gracing his features, and occasionally murmurs Megatronus' name contentedly.

Other times, the dreams are nightmares; he relives Megatronus' betrayal - his spark burns painfully as it feels like it's happened just recently. He also sometimes relives those moments in battles where it seemed like Megatronus was really going to kill him. In some of his nightmares, he can feel those sharp claws ripping through his chassis, crushing his spark without remorse. It is in these moments that he cries out Megatronus' name, bolting out of recharge, optics cycling anxiously; ventilations heavy, as he tries to calm his racing - aching- spark.

It is in these moments, that he seeks the comforting presence of his old friend; the only one who can help calm the storm raging within. He is welcomed with understanding optics, and a warm embrace. Optimus relaxes, feeling more at ease in his presence, staying with him until he can drift into recharge once more.

Yes, Optimus often dreams about Megatronus.

Ratchet is the only one who knows this.
