So in honor of my birthday I'm giving you guys a new chapter, no smut in this one, just fluff and feels, but hey it has to happen to move along plot. Next chapter though there will be action. Right now this story is set to end at chapter 16, I hope to finish it up soon. I'm working on new projects mostly in the marvel universe, I have a Spideypool about half done already, oh and its alpha/omega, woohoo. Check out m blog for more updates and lots of fujoshi pics. I'm not 100% thrilled with this chapter but it'll have to do for now, I can edit later.

Okay so a couple notes. 1) To explain the sedative thing, people who have cardiac issues can have difficulty being sedated because it can cause them to go into cardiac arrest, this I took from myself. I can't be fully sedated, I had two surgeries, one I wasn't sedated at all, the second it was very lite sedation. 2) This is sorta a combination of different transformers media and my own imagination, so things to note are Will isn't married, Sam's family has no pets, The autobots and decpticons aren't really a government secret. Sam has both a heart and a forming spark. Jazz is alive. And I'll add the rest as I think of it. Oh and I updated the summary, I like this one better.

Oh and those who don't already know I'm on AO3. I'm gonna finish these stories here, but all new work will be posted on AO3 and my blog. I've heard some very troubling things about FF and I'm not so pleased with it anymore. Thats okay though AO3 is so much better, it takes a little time to get an account set up, but its so worth it. Only bad thing about is it you can't adjust text size, but I can live with that. So come find me over there same name and there's a link on my blog, the link to my blog is on my profile. And don't forget my blog has lots of fun stuff and fujoshi pics.

Okay enjoy!

Chapter 10

The medbay doors practically flew off their hings as Optimus came bursting through, screaming the medic's name.

"Optimus, what in the world" Ratchet huffed coming into the room to see what the commotion was all about.

"Ratchet, Sam needs help, NOW!" The Prime shouted placing the limp body on the closest table.

The medic moved quickly, assessing injuries and applying pressure to stem the flow of gushing wounds. It wasn't long before another figure burst into the room, First Aid's holo. Ratchet wasted no time barking orders as the other medic dashed around the room, plucking supplies from every cabinet in sight.

Sam could feel movement all around him, hands touching him and shouting from above him. He couldn't move a muscle, his body much to weak and in far too much pain. Unable to form words or even scream anymore he let out only gasps and half chocked sobs. His vision was darkening, the room spinning, his hearing fading. He knew he was losing consciousness, being dragged into oblivion, not knowing if he would ever wake up again.

Optimus stood to the side of the room, out of the way but where he could still see what was happening. He watched as the two medics worked on his human. He never once in his long existence ever felt so helpless or useless. It kept replaying over and over again in his mind, every word the boy had uttered, the sound of the glass shattering, the screaming, the blood, so much blood. It seemed like no matter what he did he kept hurting the boy. He continued to watch, unable to pull his eyes away from the scene in front of him. Every minute that went by felt like an eternity. The medics kept working, bags of blood and fluid hung from metal stands dripping rapidly into the lifeless looking human laying completely limp on the table. Eventually the frantic movements slowed and the shouting stopped, but how long that had taken he didn't know, he had lost all track of time.

"You can come over now Optimus" Ratchet called glancing up at the Prime.

"Is he?" Optimus asked softly, inching closer, afraid if he moved too quickly or too loudly he would destroy the semblance of stability the room had gained.

"He's unconscious. We have the bleeding under control, but we had to sedate him." The medic answered as he inspected the wounds.

"I thought you couldn't sedate him?" The prime asked worriedly.

"We didn't have much choice, he needs a massive amount of stitching and I can't take a chance of him moving. It's a mild sedative, less likely to send him into cardiac arrest." The medic explained pulling over a chair for the autobot leader and a stool for himself. "You might as well sit down, we're going to be here a while... First aid I'm going to need at least two dozen suture kits and plenty of saline" He instructed his assistant as he went back to examining the wounds.

Optimus pulled the chair as close as he could, picking up and cradling the teens uninjured hand in his own. The oxygen mask covered most of the sickly pale face and it broke the primes heart to see his human like this.

"Care to explain how this happened?!" The medic asked, more a demand than an actual question.

"His arm went through a glass door, I wasn't quick enough to stop it… Starscream killed his parents" The Prime answered solemnly.

"Slagging con's" Ratchet growled. "what else?" He asked, the haunted look on Optimus's face clearly said there was more.

"He doesn't believe I care for him, that I'm only doing this out of obligation and pity". The autobot leader answered shamefully.

"And who's fault is that… You should have told him how you felt a long time ago" The medic chastised.

"Ratchet…" Optimus exclaimed taken aback by the comment.

The medic rolled his eyes, "Oh please, you're not that subtle you know, besides I''ve known you far too long not to notice"

The conversation was interrupted as First Aid returned pushing a cart full of supplies over. Ratchet painstaking checked over the supplies, grabbing a few before launching back into the discussion" He feels the same way about you"

"What!" How do you..." The prime replied in disbelief.

Ratchet rolled his eyes again" He loves you and you love him, And you're both a couple of idiots" He huffed in annoyance, really how clueless could two people be.

The Prime pondered the information, sighing "It would seem so" he acquiesced.

The room fell silent, conversation over, the only sounds the beeping of machines and the clanking of tools as ratchet continued working. The only thing he could do now was wait.

xXx

It was several long torturous hours later before Sam began to stir. The teens uninjured hand twitched in the Primes grasp. In an instant Optimus was up, out of his chair and hovering worriedly over the human. "Sam" He called.

Sam blinked his eyes several times, trying to focus and drag his mind out of the darkness."Optimus" he croaked before letting out a strangled cry as he jarred his injured arm when he shifted.

"Don't try to move Sam, you're badly injured" The prime instructed trying to keep the boy still and calm.

"Where am I?" The teen asked, his brows furrowed in discomfort, his whole body felt heavy and sore even when he didn't move it.

The Prime stiffened at the question, he had to choose his words carefully none of them could handle a repeat of earlier. "Just lie still, Ratchet will be here soon" He soothed. "What do you remember?"

Sam stared up at him in confusion, trying to recall what happened. It was a long few moments of silence later when he turned his head away, muttering a quiet "oh" with tears prickling his eyes.

Sighing Optimus spoke again. "Sam we need to talk"

"There's nothing to talk about" The teen replied in a quite voice.

"On the contrary, we have a lot to talk about" The Prime reiterated, sitting back down in his chair. The human didn't reply, just laid there looking lost, hurt and so, so fragile "Sam I don't think of you as a burden, I care very deeply for you"

The teen scoffed "I don't need you to lie to me"

"I'm not lying to you, I should have told you sooner" The holo stated.

"Right and I'm suppose to believe that. Sure you care, you care enough to have pity sex with me, but that's not the same things as genuine feelings" The teen spat venomously.

"I give you two extra time alone and you've still gotten nowhere" Ratchet groused, interrupting their conversation. "If both of you would stop being so infuriatingly stubborn and just tell each other how you feel there wouldn't be all these ridiculous misunderstandings and trouble" He chastised, leaning down, checking over the boys injuries as he spoke "Sam, Optimus loves you, has for a while now, trust me he's not having pity sex with you, he's very much enjoying it… And Optimus Sam's in love with you as well so stop worrying about it. There now its all out in the open, anything else I can help straighten out while I'm at it"

"No Ratchet, you've done quite enough thank you" The Prime answered glaring at the smirking medic.

"Don't blame me, I gave you both plenty of opportunities to fix this. It's not my fault you're both colossal pains in the aft" He retorted still smirking. "But back to business, Sam your arm is looking fine, just make sure to keep it still. I'll be keeping you here for a few days just to be safe" He added as he walked towards the door.

Sam just stared wide eyed, too surprised to even protest being kept in the medbay. It was a lot to process. Long tense silent minutes ticked by until he finally asked cautiously. "Is it true?… what Ratchet said, is it true?"

"Yes, it's true" The Prime answered.

"How long have you felt that way about me?" The teen asked.

Optimus sighed resolutely "Since not long after we first met"

"And you didn't say anything!" Sam exclaimed incredulously.

"Our presence had already disrupted your life enough, I didn't want to make it any worse. Not to mention you already had a mate" The Prime answered.

"But what about after Mikaela and I broke up?" The teen questioned.

"You didn't say anything either. The Prime chided.

"I just didn't think you'd ever want me" Sam answered sheepishly before giggling "Ratchet's right we are idiots"

"Indeed" The Prime chuckled, letting the tension bleed out of his body.

"So what happens now?" Sam asked hopeful for the first time in a long while.

Optimus smiled, reaching over to hold the humans hand again, "When you're well enough I have a surprise for you, after that I don't know, but we'll figure it out… together"
