"Optimus, would you allow me ... to ... try something?" Lily said, slightly embarrassed. Optimus sat up. Lily did the same and then said, "It's nothing bad." At least I hope. She added in thought.

Optimus looked a little curiously at the girl. What was she up to?

"Don't move," she said as she slid closer to him. Optimus did what she wanted and sat motionless, if Lily hadn't known better, she would have thought he was in stasis.

With her face she came closer and closer to his. When she was only a nose's length away from his face, she closed her eyes and pursed her lips slightly. Within seconds, their lips were now on top of each other. The touch of those warm, soft lips on his chased electrical impulses through his whole body. He almost felt as if he was completely electrified. She kissed him very gently and tenderly. She put her hands on his chest. Lily seemed to know exactly what she was doing, unlike Optimus, who was overwhelmed by the situation. He had seen this in people before, but he had never given a thought to what it would be like to be kissed once. He acted a bit rude by clasping her too tightly in his arms and almost squeezing Lily's breath away.

Lily pushed him away from her as hard as she could and moaned: "Not ... so ... tight ..."

Optimus let go of her suddenly and said: "Oh! Excuse me. In this form I still have a little difficulty keeping my strength in check. "

"It's okay ... I'm still alive ..." she said breathlessly. "You mustn't forget that we humans are more fragile than you."

Optimus smiled: "Yes, I know.", And gave her a gentle hug.

"It's better that way," Lily said, snuggling up to him. Optimus finally got up and said. "We'd better keep going."

Lily watched him go. She followed him to her travel bag, which had been left there due to his transformation.

It transformed itself back into the truck and I first put my travel bag back in the truck. Then I got in. Now that I was in his driver's seat, I felt such a strange tingling sensation. I must have made a mistake with the kiss. Because now my feelings were awakened. And they couldn't be turned off so easily. I sat in the truck quite nervously until Optimus stopped in front of a hotel. I wondered why he was doing this and asked, "What is it?"

"I can't ask you to sleep here all the time.", Optimus said and I knew what he meant. Optimus had a somewhat outdated view. But that was clear to me from the start. I didn't mind sleeping on Optimus' seat. But Optimus saw it differently. So I checked into the hotel for the night. The hotel only had one room left and Optimus decided to stay outside.

I tried to persuade him: "Why don't you come with me?"

"Because it can't be," said Optimus and left. Sighing, I took my travel bag and went to my room. A comfortable, soft bed awaited me here. And I had to admit that it was a bit better compared to the Optimus seat. I put on my pajamas and went to bed. But I couldn't sleep properly because I was missing Optimus' closeness. I tossed and turned restlessly when suddenly the window opened. Startled, I pulled the covers over my head. Was that a Decepticon that wanted me on the leather? Someone entered the room through the window. Then I heard the window close. Someone who wanted to harm me would certainly not voluntarily block their escape route. I slowly sat up in bed and at the same time pulled the covers off my head. There was a man standing motionless in front of my bed.

"Optimus?" I asked.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to be sure that you were okay, "said Optimus.

I sat up in bed and said, "Except for the fact that I can't get any sleep ..."

"Why?" Asked Optimus.

"I don't know, maybe I don't feel so safe when you're not with me."

Optimus came closer and sat on the bed.

I smiled gently: "Do you want to stay here?"

"I don't want you to be deprived of your sleep just because of the situation I put you in."

I slid to the side to offer Optimus the space that had become free. Optimus looked at me hesitantly. I knew immediately what he was thinking and started to laugh: "Don't worry, I won't attack you, don't worry. I'm too tired for that anyway. "

Sighing, Optimus lay down on the bedspread. I slid closer to him and nestled my head against his chest and fell asleep.

Optimus lay there rather stiffly, his feelings mixed up again. He looked at the young woman who fell asleep nestled against his chest. As an Autobot, he had never felt that tingling sensation that now went through his marrow and bone. It robbed him of his mind, or in that case, the system. He just couldn't go into stasis no matter what he did. Because the girl kept snuggling against his chest.

He took a deep breath to keep everything from burning out. Lily could sleep blissfully now, but Optimus couldn't. But it wasn't absolutely necessary for the Autobots to go to sleep or go into stasis every day. They could do without rest for two or three days.

But early in the morning the two were startled by a big bang. Lily began to shiver. She feared the Decepticons had caught up with her. Optimus got up from the bed and went to the window.

"It looks like I'll have to give up my cover," said Optimus.

Lily rushed to him at the window and said, "Wait when the Decepticons find out that you can transform yourself into humans we are done."

"I'll have to. I will protect you with my life, remember? ", Asked Optimus.

Lily looked at him fearfully: "But, you are the leader of the Autobots ... What are the others going to do without you?" You're the last Prime. What if something happens to you? "

"It won't. No fear. As you said before, I am a Prime. You won't get rid of me that quickly. "

Optimus pulled Lily close and very carefully pressed his lips to hers. Lily was trembling slightly in his arms when their lips touched. They stayed like that for a moment before they parted again. Lily looked puzzled at the Prime.

"I'll be back," said Optimus. Then he opened the window and jumped out. In the jump he transformed himself into his robot form.
