Chapter one: Karma bonus points

Bobbing my head to an old album of skillet blasting trough the speakers I hummed along as I tried to make my apartment somewhat representable, even if it was for my own sake. Being 27, single and woman wasn't a good thing in my family.

Scoffing I thought about aunty myrtle and her incessant whining about turning me into an old spinster, Bah! ridiculous, and to make matters worse my mother will NOT stop calling and trying to set me up with this blind date, boring average boys with a mother complex, yah.. that's gonna fly.

My teeth grind together as I see my phone light up for the zillionth time. " JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shout out like some sort of crazy person, and of course this happens right when the album switches to another song. Making my neighbors think I'm even more coocoo then I actually am.

I did not expect a deep voice answering my rant, and almost lost my stuffing in fright, clutching the dirty rag in my hands like a lifeline.

Taking a deep breath to stop my thundering heart I realized that there was someone in front of my door, someone who most likely thought my temporary loss of cool was directed at them.

Rushing to the door I stumbled over the bucket with dirty water making it topple and spill over my polished floor. "Fuck me sideways.." I hiss trough my teeth before pulling the door open with force.

In front of my door was what I would presume a homeless person. A very, handsome, homeless person. He didn't look skinny, quite the opposite. The clothes he wore were tattered and and probably two sizes to big for him, but i could clearly see the muscles underneath trough the tattered bits.

Two gorgeous electric blue eyes snapped at my normal brown ones and I saw a weariness in them, confusion and pain. " Ehm.. Excuse me, I will not disturb you" came the deep rumble from the man before he turned to leave.

Well if those muscles wouldn't do the trick then that voice most certainly would! I thought gleefully before snapping to my senses. "Wait, I'm sorry.. that shout wasn't directed at you, I was..ehm" I muttered and bit my lip in embarrassment. "Family issues, didn't wanna talk to them on the phone and after they called me for the 10nth time I kinda lost it, I didn't hear you knock cause of the music yano?" I say chuckling lightly while my face feels the need to flare up like a flare. " How can I help you"? I kindly offered.

The stranger turned in surprise at my mumbling and his whole face seemed to soften a bit, small crinkles gathering on the skin around his eyes and the harsh electric blue seemed to darken a tinge. Turning fully around and taking a cautious step closer again he seemed to hesitate a moment. " I.. I seem to be lost, I require sustenance and a good rechar- sleep" he stuttered averting his eyes and frowning for a moment before making eye contact once more. "Nobody wishes to assist" he added a bit petulantly.

"Yeah.. people are like that, selfish bastards" I mutter with a smirk. "Come in, I can help you out.. good for the karma points right?" I say as a joke, but it clearly didn't land as I get a confused stare back from the other before his gaze morphs into gratitude.

"You will not harm me?" he asked carefully. "Of course not! Who do you- never mind, come in, I cooked already but I always have extra's and I have a spare bed, also you can freshen up and get warm, its bloody cold outside, the fact you didn't freeze to death in those clothes is a freaking miracle."

Moving aside I wait for the stranger to come in and after a moment of hesitation, he does. As he walks past me he seems to unfurl as he walks into the heat of my apartment. The guy is huge! Well, if he wants me dead I'm certainly dead.. all for a few karma points.

Closing the door quickly a full body shiver hits me and a make a very unattractive sound. "sorry.. just freaking COLD" I apologize and for a second I think I can see a corner of his mouth pull up in amusement.

After a few beats of awkward silence his rumble fills the room once more. "I think introductions are in order… " he pauzes once more, glances to the floor and back to me before taking a deep breath " My name.. is Op-" he begins but is cut off as I hold up my hand.

"Introductions later good sir, first its time to get you warmed up, and fed!" she said enthusiastically making the man in front of her deflate some before nodding. "Yes, you are right" he rumbled and awkwardly shifted on his feet.

"Ah yes, I will show you the way!" I state far to loudly and march past the wall of muscle, I can feel the heat radiating off of him and I wonder how that's possible seeing he spend god knows how long outside in the cold.

A few minutes later and the both of us were standing in the bathroom with me explaining swiftly how the thermostat knob worked. Before I could take off the man started to undress destroying the shirt even more in the process. I got a good eyeful of his chest and gawked before swiftly turning on my heels. "Right! So call out of you need something byebye!" I say slightly panicked and leave the stranger to himself.

As soon as the door closes, and the femme leaves me in the strange tiled room I step inside the cabin she had called a shower and turn on the water. The spray is cold in the beginning and I cant help but hiss loudly as my whole skin seems to rise up because of the cold. The hairs on my arms are standing up and I vaguely remember humans called this "goosebumps". Then the water turns warm and I can feel my frame, no…body.. relaxing, a moan of pure bliss escaping me. Humans are so sensitive.

Closing my eyes I slowly tilt my head back and allow myself to finally relax somewhat and after what feels like many cycles I shut down the water flow and dry myself off with the fluffy rag I'd been given. Taking a moment to admire its softness I move the towel over every muscle before turning to the stack of clothes the femme had placed for me. Observing them for a nano klik i raise an optic ridge and blink slowly before shrugging and putting it on. It was tight but it covered his most important parts.

Sitting on the couch I waited for the stranger to finish his obscenely long shower and sat up as I heard him exiting the shower. Biting my lower lip I tried to stop a snicker from leaving my throat " You look ah.. clean?" I try as he approaches.

The large man was dressed in a pure white fluffy robe with pink bunny slippers, the bunny's ears flopping with every step. "Thank you" he rumbled not seeming to notice my amusement, or the fact that he was wearing a woman's robe and slippers, but its all I had and I couldn't exactly make him wear those horrible articles of clothing again.

I sat him down and moved to the kitchen to grab a bowl of soup that I had made before giving it to him. " here you go, careful, might be hot." The man hummed and softly blew on the stew before taking a bite carefully. Again he was cautious about eating but soon he was almost gulping the soup down. When he was done he locked eyes with me again, making me wiggle in my seat, man those eyes were something.

"Now is the time for introductions?" Optimus rumbled in his sinful voice and when he saw the femme her nodding approval. He put the bowl down, put his hands in his lap and clenched them together tight before taking a deep breath "My name.. is Optimus Prime, Commander of the autobots. "
