I was planning to make this a Valentine chapter, but I couldn't come up with an idea for it. Not even for a one-shot. So here is the next, regular chapter.
By the way, there will be two special guests stars appearing in this chapter but only for this chapter. After that, they won't appear on any more chapters. Maybe. Let's see if you can figure out who they are before you get to the part. Hint: they are two females.
Chapter 10: A Prime's Possession
It has been almost two years since Sam was captured by the Decepticons and was later rescued by the Autobots. Ever since that horrific day when he died and was miraculously brought back to life, the Autobots have decided that Sam needs to stay at the base from now on to avoid getting captured again.
When Sam heard this, he was mad yet happy at the same time. Mad because that means Sam can't leave the base to hang out with Jack or go travel with the Autobots. But he was quite happy that he gets to stay at the base. For one thing, it means that he gets to spend more time with the Autobots and the Autobots (namely Bulkhead, Cliffjumper and Bee) gets to spend more time with Sam. And as always, Bulkhead, BumbleBee and Cliffjumper would argue with each other time-to-time over who gets to spend more time with Sam. Not only that, it means no more going to that scrapping prison they called 'School'. But as always, Ratchet has to be a killjoy saying that he'll be homeschooling and Ratchet will be his teacher. So much for having fun at the base.
So here he is right now, watching an all new episode of Supernatural. He gagged during the part where the boys and an angel name Castiel met an unattractive naked man name Cupid. Now Sam knows truth about Cupids: that they are big, chubby, ugly men in their underwear instead of those babies in diapers ones.
"Sam?"
Sam took his eyes off the Tv to see Ratchet entering his room. "Hey, Ratch, what's up?" He asked as he lowered down the volume.
"I just wanted to see what are you doing." He replied.
"Well, I'm watching Supernatural."
"I see." Ratchet stares at the Tv only to twist his face in disgust when humans began eating each others and pigging themselves out. "What is wrong with these humans? Are they mad?!"
Sam laughed at Ratchet's lack of knowledge about Tv shows. "Ratchet, it's not real. They are just acting. They are not eating each other. All the stuff they are doing are fake."
"Oh, ok, but why are these humans on Tv eating a lot and eating each others? As far as I know, cannibalism are immoral."
"They don't have a choice, Ratchet."
"They don't?" Ratchet asked in confusion.
Sam shook his head. "They are plagued by Famine. You see that old man that just entered the restaurant? That's Famine, the one who is causing all of this chaos." Sam explained.
"Famine? Who's that?"
"Famine is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
"Who are they?"
"Ya know, for someone who claims to be smart, you sure ask a lot of questions." Sam said teasingly.
Ratchet glower in annoyance before giving a small flick on Sam's head. "It's not my fault that I don't know human's mythology." He retorted.
Sam rubbed his head soothingly while giving a glare at Ratchet. He then saw a familiar emotion swarming in his optics. "Ratchet, are you alright?" He asked knowingly.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm alright." He replied not even giving a glance at Sam.
Sam crossed his arms and narrowed his blue eyes. "Ratchet. Spill it." He demanded.
Ratchet sighed and gave in to his demand. "It was my fault. I wasn't able to find your coordinates when Megatron and Soundwave attacked you and Arcee. Not only that, I'd confiscated your weapons back then, leaving you defenseless against the Decepticons. It was my fault that you were captured. It was my fault you died." Ratchet's voice sounded so broken, so full of guilt and pain.
Sam stare in shock. It has been almost two years, and yet he's still carrying the guilt in his spark. He had reassured everyone, mostly Ratchet, that his capture and his death was not their fault. But Ratchet had to be so stubborn by saying that all of it was his own fault, stating that if he was quick enough to locate their coordinates, then all of it would have been avoid. But no, the fragging human computers that was handed down to them when they inherited the silo had caught a bug. Ratchet blamed himself for that was well for not modifying the systems to his liking.
"Ratchet," Sam spoked softly, "It was never your fault."
"Yes it was, Sam, so don't try to tell me that it isn't!"
Sam grabbed the nearest thing he could find: his shoe. He threw it a bit harshly at Ratchet so he can snap out of his guilt trip.
"Ow! What the frag was that for?!" Ratchet rubbed the part of his head that was hit by Sam's shoe.
"Ratchet, it was not your fault. Megatron and Soundwave was there and you know they can easily overpower all of you, even Optimus. I would've been captured either way so there is no point for you to keep blaming yourself over it."
"But..."
"No 'buts', Ratchet." Sam interrupted. "It's not your fault, okay? If you want to blame someone, then blame it on the Decepticons for kidnapping me. So please, stop blaming yourself. It hurts me to see you like this. I want my old, grumpy, scary, easy-to-tease Ratchet back." He pleaded with those sad blue eyes.
Ratchet decided to ignore Sam's playful insults and lowered his hand. Sam got the gesture and got on Ratchet's hand.
"Thank you, Sam. I needed that." Ratchet smiled genuinely and hugged Sam.
Sam wrapped his arms around Ratchet's neck and hugged back tightly. "Ratchet?"
"What is it, Sam?" He asked.
"Is it just me, or have you gone soft on me?"
Ratchet could hear the teasing in Sam's voice. He gave a chuckle before pulling away from the hug and replied. "Tell anyone I went soft on ya, and I'll have you cleaning the whole base with your toothbrush. Is that clear?"
Sam 'eep' at the thought of cleaning the base with his toothbrush. It'll take years to have this place clean. But what Ratchet doesn't know is that he has a secret weapon to avoid cleaning the base: Optimus Prime. He'll save him from Ratchet's wrath.
"And not even Optimus can save you from me."
"Scrap." So much for his secret weapon. Honestly, Ratchet's a mind reader.
Ratchet chuckled at Sam's dismay. Poor Sam. He doesn't know that Ratchet was just kidding around. "Anyway, I got some news for you, Sam. You'll be starting High School on Monday."
"Really?"
"Really. And sorry for being paranoid by keeping you stuck here at the base." He apologized sheepishly.
"It's ok, Ratchet. It's just your motherly and womanly instinct kicking in, wants nothing more than to protect its youngling. Though I never knew you had a female side." Sam snickered out loud.
Ratchet resisted a strong urge to strangle Sam for that playful, mocking insult. He carefully dropped Sam to his bed. "Go to sleep, Sam. It's late." He grumbled.
"But I'm still watching my Supernatural."
"Fine then. Finish watching your show and go back to bed."
Sam got out of his bed and rushed back downstairs but stopped midway.
"What's wrong, Sam?"
Sam rushed back upstairs to wrap his arms around Ratchet's neck and hugged him as tightly as he can. "Love you, Ratchet." He gave a peck on the cheek.
Ratchet felt his spark filled with warmth. He smiled and placed his hand on Sam's back and hugged back. "Love you too, Sam."
After the hug, Sam rushed back downstairs to continue to watch Supernatural. While Sam continues to watch his show, Ratchet smiles fondly at Sam. This human, Sam, has made a drastic impact to their lives, and they are very glad to have him in their lives. Without him, everything won't have been the same. The proof being Sam's death. They all took his death very hard, especially Optimus, which left the base depress, spark-broken. But after he was brought back to life, the whole base became active, lively, and happy.
He bid Sam goodnight before leaving Sam's room. Just outside of Sam's room, Optimus was there glaring at Ratchet.
"What were you doing to Sam?" Optimus asked accusingly.
Ratchet sighed, unfazed by Optimus's glare and accusation. "Oh for crying out loud, Optimus, it's not what it looks like. Sam and I were having a little discussion."
"A discussion that led to a hug and a kiss from him?"
"Oy vey." Ratchet rubbed his temple to calm his urge to smack Optimus for his falsely accusation. "He was making me feel better because I told him that I was to blame for his capture."
Optimus hummed in suspicion. "Very well." Optimus still kept his suspicious gaze on Ratchet. "Don't let that happen again, ok?"
Ratchet knows what Optimus is referring to and he couldn't help but let out an aggravated groan. "Fine, fine." He waved off at Optimus.
Optimus gave nod before leaving. Once Optimus was out of his view, Ratchet groan out loud. "Don't know which one ticks me off: Sam and his teasing or a jealous, possessive Prime."
Monday has arrived and Sam is getting ready for his first day in High School. Right now he's wearing a gray T-shirt to show off his scars that he got from Shockwave and a dark blue jean with those small tear on the knee.
It has been so long since he last stepped foot out of the base and can't wait to see Jack again. After he ate his breakfast, he rushed out to the central command center to have BumbleBee to take him to school, along with Cliffjumper just in case if the Decepticons attack Sam again.
"Well, Sam, ready to go back to school?" asked Cliffjumper.
"Well, I wanted to stay here at the base for a few more months, but someone has to be such a killjoy and forced me to go to school." He looked at Ratchet to emphasize his meaning.
"You're welcome." Ratchet said without looking back at them.
"Yeah, no kidding." Cliffjumper agreed to Sam. "Back on Cybertron, whenever a group of soldiers are having fun, Ratchet has to come in and ruin it. He made them crippled for awhile through check-ups as punishment."
"He must be PMSing at that time."
"What did you say, boy!?"
Sam froze in fear when he heard Ratchet's dark voice which promise a world of hurt. He saw BumbleBee arriving at the command center in his vehicle mode. "Cliffjumper said it, not me!" Sam pointed at the wide-eyed Cliffjumper before rushing inside Bee's vehicle mode. "Drive! Drive! Drive!" Sam said frantically in which the yellow camaro complied and drove away quickly while laughing at Cliffjumper's dismay.
Cliffjumper can only stare in shock. His baby nephew had pointed finger on him. That little brat. He slowly backed away from the terrifying medic who's advancing towards him like he's ready to kill.
"Care to repeat what you said about me, Cliff?" Ratchet spoke menacing.
"Uh, gotta go!" Cliffjumper quickly transformed and drove away from Ratchet.
Ratchet threw his wrench at Cliffjumper and smirk triumphantly when he heard Cliffjumper yelped in pain. Ratchet was right. Things around here is more lively with Sam around.
Sam has finally reached Jasper, Nevada. It has been so long since he last seen this small town. It's quite funny. The town hasn't changed a single bit during his absent. He asked BumbleBee to take him to Jack's neighborhood so he can surprise him by his arrival. Along the way, Sam spotted Jack walking alone to school. Sam got out of the car and walked quietly behind Jack. He quickly wrapped his arm around Jack and use his other hand to mimic a gun and placed it on Jack's head.
"Give me your money and I promise I'll let you live." Sam threaten playfully.
Jack, at first, stiffen at the contact. But when he heard the familiar voice, a huge smile appeared on Jack's face.
"Sam, is that you?"
Sam let go and smiled at Jack. "In the flesh."
Jack instantly noticed a change in Sam's eyes. It was no longer brown, it's blue now. "Sam, what happened to your eyes." He asked while leaning down a bit to get a closer look. Jack happens to be a bit taller than Sam now. "And your arms?" He inspects the scars on Sam's arms.
"How about I tell you after school?" Sam tried to stop himself from blushing due to Jack's face being so close to his.
Jack couldn't help but think how cute Sam is while he's blushing. "Whatever you say, Sam." Jack said with a small husky voice. He smirked when he saw Sam shiver a bit. Teasing his crush can be really fun.
Sam lead Jack to BumbleBee and told him to get on. Jack got on the passenger seat while Sam on the driver's. As soon as he put on his seatbelt, he felt it tighten a bit harshly.
"Uh, Sam, is the seatbelt suppose to be tight?" He asked Sam as he's trying to readjust to his fitting.
Sam could tell that this is Bee's doing, but don't know why. So he banged BumbleBee to get him to stop. "Sorry, Jack. This thing has a mind of its own." He joked. "But if it doesn't stop, then I'll have to scrap it to get it fix." Sam promised.
Jack felt the seatbelt loosen a bit. What a strange car, he thought. But he was amazed. This is Jack's first time being inside his car. Everything is so nice in here. The car even has a small Tv-like in the front, the seats are smooth and leather. He looked at the rear-view mirror and couldn't help but chuckle at it. It had a air freshener that is shaped like a bumblebee with the words 'Bee-Otch' on it. It sounded like the slang word 'Beotch'. He has got to have one of those.
While Jack is looking around, BumbleBee couldn't help but want to torture the boy. He saw what he was doing to Sam. It was quite obvious that this Jack person is 'making a move' on his baby brother. His overprotectiveness kicked in and strapped tightly as soon as Jack put on that seatbelt. No one dares to seduce his baby brother and gets away with it unharmed. He reluctantly loosen the belt when Sam hit him, telling him to stop it or else he'll be sent to the scrapyard. He grumbled silently at Sam before beginning to drive them to school. It's more like Sam's driving them to school. Can't have Jack know that the car can drive on its owm.
"Doesn't this belongs to your brother?" He asked Sam.
"Yes, it does. But he let me have it. I'm going to customize it by giving it a pink paint job to make it more girlish. I'll give it a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and before you know it, it'll be a replica of those Barbie cars." Sam hissed in pain when his belt tighten around him.
"Are you aright?" Jack asked worryingly.
"I'm ok." He breathe out. "I was just kidding about the customizing part." He said to both Jack and BumbleBee.
After a few minutes of driving, they have reached the High School. Sam had parked a few blocks away from the school before getting out with backpack at hand and entered the school. Sam went to the main office to retrieve his schedule. He has six periods and none he has together with Jack. They each said goodbye before heading to their designated class.
Sam sat down on an empty table as soon as the bell rang. The classroom got a bit louder with people taking about their weekends and stuff.
"Aright, class," began the teacher, "we have a new student today." People began whispering about who is the new student. The teacher scrolled down the list until he spot the name of the new student. "Mr. Sam Witwicky. Mind introducing yourself to the class."
Sam stood up and began to introduce himself. "Like the teach said, I'm Sam Witwicky. But only my family and friends can call me that." He stated coldly towards them. "For the rest of you, call me Spike or Spark, whichever one. I don't plan on making any friends, so don't even try to, ok." He sat back down and waited for the teacher to continue.
"Well, um, thank you, um, Spike." said the teacher. He went back to teaching now since he's feeling a bit uncomfortable by Sam's speech. "Before I forget, class, make sure you buy your tickets today for the Valentine's Dance, tonight."
Sam could tell some of the girls are staring at him. Obviously they want him to take them to the dance. Well, sorry girls, he goes to the other direction if you know what I mean.
After the bell rang that signals the school is over for today, Sam packed his stuff and ran out the door. Along the way, he met up with Jack. As they were talking, a blond girl walked up to Sam.
"Hey, sweetheart." She said with a slutty, english accent. "You want to go to the dance with me, tonight?"
"Uh, who are you?" Sam asked with disgust.
Before the blond person could reply, a dark-brown haired girl interrupted them. "Carly, get away from him." She ordered. "He's not interested in a slut like you."
"Screw you, you dumb bimbo." Carly retorted.
"She's right, you know." Sam stepped in. "I'm not interested in a slut like you. So why don't you just leave me alone and go whore yourself to another guy?"
"Your loss." She decided to make a move on Jack, but one glare from Sam and she stepped back. She left swaying her hips in a disgusting manner.
"Sorry about that. Some people know her as the school's whore so don't get involved with her."
"Ok. Thank you, um..."
"My name is Mikaela. Mikaela Banes. And that whore was Carly Spencer."
"My name is Spike Witwicky, and this is Jack Darby."
"Nice to meet you." Said Jack as he shook hands with Mikaela. "Would you care to join us for a bit?"
"I love to, but I'm sure your friend doesn't want me around." She looked at Sam with smile. His speech during class didn't effect her. Somehow, she can understand why he doesn't want to make friends.
Sam waved it off, knowing what she meant. "I'll make it an exception for you."
"Alright then." She smiled.
The three began talking to each other while heading outside. When they arrived to where Sam parked the car, they saw two new cars besides it.
"Why are your uncles here?" asked Jack.
"They are just worried, that's all." replied Sam.
"About what?" said Mikaela curiously.
"Well, long story short: I got into an accident two years ago which gave me these scars on my arms and face, and I had an eye implant because I lost both my eyesights. My eyes were originally brown, not blue." Sam ignored the pity look coming from Mikaela and Jack.
The three got inside BumbleBee with Jack at the backseat, Mikaela on the passenger seat and Sam at the driver's. The three continues to talk to each other again, enjoying each other's presence. Though Sam doesn't want to admit, but he made another human friend and she's nice to be with.
"It's a shame that you are moving to California tomorrow." Sam said with a small hint of sadness in his voice as they arrived at Mikaela's home.
"It is." She replied sadly. "Thanks for the ride, Spike."
"Please, call me Sam. My friends calls me that."
Mikaela smiled at Sam. "Ok, Sam. It was nice meeting you guys."
"Same here." Once Mikaela got inside her home, Sam drove off to Jack's home. "I'll come over for a little while and explain to you and your mom about what happened to me, ok Jack?"
"Ok." The two, followed by two Autobots, headed back to Jack's place.
BumbleBee is enjoying the car wash Sam is giving him. He blew a raspberry at the two jealous Autobots, Cliffjumper and Bulkhead. Sure Sam has already giving the two, Arcee and even the refusing Ratchet a car wash, but the way Sam is washing him is full of affection.
"Alright, Bee. I'm finish."
Bee whined and rubbed against Sam, wanting Sam to continue washing him.
"Sorry, Bee, but it's Optimus turn for a wash." Laughed Sam.
"Good luck there, kid. I don't think Optimus is the kind of 'Bot that would want a car wash." Bulkhead stated.
Sam sighed knowingly. "Alright then." He said sadly. He was looking forward to washing Optimus for the first time. "You guys go ahead. I'll clean up here."
Cliffjumper, Bulkhead and BumbleBee left the wash room leaving Sam to clean up the area. After awhile, the door opened and walked in Optimus Prime.
"Optimus, what brings you here?"
"I was wondering if you still have time for that car wash."
"Oh." Sam smiled with a teasing look. "Are you embarrass to have a car wash in front of the others?"
"No, I just want the two of us to be left alone." Optimus replied huskily.
Sam felt himself blushing and shivering from Optimus voice. He never noticed just how hot and sexy his voice really is. He shook that thought away and splashed himself with cold water to cool down his burning face. "Uh, yeah, I still have time." He said stammering.
Optimus gave a quiet chuckle before transforming into his vehicle mode. Sam got a new bucket of warm water and soap and began washing Optimus. It has been millennia since he was this calm. All the troubles of being a Prime and the War has washed away from his processors. But most importantly, here he was with Sam alone in the Autobot wash room. This area is used for when it is time for Sam to give the Autobots a nice car wash. He wanted to have a car wash, but some 'Bots had to get messy somehow and forced Sam to clean them again at the same day. The results from that made Sam very tired and couldn't give Optimus a wash.
But here he is right now, getting a car wash from his Sam. That's right, his Sam. He had realized his feelings for the boy when he was brought back from the dead. Ever since then, his spark craves for the boy, craves for his touch. Who would have thought that Optimus Prime would fall quite hard for a human. Which is why he's becoming quite possessive of the boy. Sam is his and his alone.
Almost an hour past and Sam was finish washing Optimus. He never would have thought that Optimus's truck mode would take him almost an hour to clean. "Ok, Optimus, I'm all done." He said tiredly.
Optimus transformed back to his robot form. He looked down to see Sam fighting off sleep. "I guess it's time to got to sleep, Sam. I'm sorry if I took your time."
"No, no. It's alright, Optimus. I really enjoy washing you." He said yawning.
"Come here." Optimus lowered his hand so that Sam could jump on. Once Sam is on his hand, he carried the drowsy boy back to his room. Optimus arrived at Sam's room and he carefully placed his hand next to Sam's bed.
"Optimus? Can you lean down a bit?" Optimus complied to Sam's request. He surprised Optimus by kissing him fully on the lips. "Happy Valentine's Day, Optimus." Sam jumped off of Optimus's hand and dive beneath the sheets of his bed to hide his blushing face.
It took awhile for Optimus to snap out of his surprise state. His spark is beating with warmth as he replays what had happened a few moments ago. It's quite obvious to Optimus that Sam has feelings for him as well, even though the boy hasn't figured it out yet and is very dense as Ratchet told him.
Though the problem is that they are from a different species. But it won't matter to him. Because something tells him that something special will happen between the two. So he'll wait. He'll wait until the time is right for him to confess to Sam.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Sam." He said as he left the room, letting Sam to change his wet clothes, which was quite a turn on for the Prime, and sleep.
Soon, Sam will be all his, and no one is going to steal him away from the Prime. He would challenge anyone who would try to steal Sam, let that be Autobot or human. He has already laid claim on Sam.
I just love Optimus being so possessive over Sam. It's quite hot, don't ya think?
And the two special guest stars were Mikaela and Carly. I quite enjoyed making Carly the slut. She deserves that title after she ruined Dark of the Moon (my opinion) for being such a total bitch towards Sam on that one scene. I'm sure most of you people agree.
So anyway, like I said on the last chapter, the next chapter will be the start of the Transformers: Prime series. Starting at Darkness Rising, Part one. The whole storyline from the series will be different since I'm adding Sam to the show. It will follow the series but it will be different with some twists.
So hope you enjoy and review please. Till next time.
