"Family does not depend on genetic codes or documents," his voice, always soft, and always loving, whispered to her, "Family is whom we chose it to be, and whom we chose to love. The way I love you is more than a family sort of way. I wish to always be near you, my beloved, and that will never change." "Do you swear you won't leave me, Optimus?" "Not even in my nightmares, Azrael,"

I never thought I'd leave that place. I never thought I'd have a home. But I never, not once, thought that my home would be with giant aliens. Or that I would find love with one of them. Or that I was at the center of a war I never knew existed. Not until that day... (Optimus Prime x OC)

Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt you? Physically hurt you? She has. It was one of the most painful things in the world. She couldn't find it in herself not to love him no matter how dark the monster inside her was. Maybe you don't understand. Perhaps you should read her story; Nimue's story.
