Don't play the song until I say so

Optimus prime's P.O.V.

The way she looked as she slept against the seat was almost, amusing and worrisome at the same time. I don't know why she even trusted me, why she chose to ride with me. I almost figured I would never find out. It had been about 30 minutes since the humans met us, and I thought I could speak with her, until I remembered that she was asleep, when she began to stir in her seat. She was waking up. With a yawn, she looked at me with tired eyes, and a small smile on her face, but then her expression changed to that of a confused look. This came with her looking at my holoform. I then understood why she was so confused.

"It's called a holoform. It can take the shape of any species in the vastness of space" I explained

She nodded her head in understanding and looked out the window. I kept my holoform's eyes on the road. She turned to me.

"There's another reason why your here, isn't there?" She said

At the red light, I stopped by slamming on the breaks. How did she find out? There must have been many questions that she wanted to ask, but my past is personal, and she must respect that. That's when I felt something I thought I would never have felt again. Trust. I trusted no one but the auto-bots for 3 years, and yet I trusted the female native right next to me.
Well, if I did trust her, maybe she won't tell anyone else about it.
(Now play the song 😑)

I nodded my head slowly as the light turned green. She had a worried expression on her face. I knew why.

"Can you... Tell me what happened?" She asked, hesitantly

"Actually, it would be nice to get this off my chest. I've only trusted my auto-bot comrades with this" I explained

This was going to be hard for me, but it's for the best. I was ready to tell immediately when she asked me
"What happened?"

I explained everything to her about Nova, and how I lost her that day three Earth years ago. She commented that she was found, strangely enough, on the same day I lost her. After that, while I explained what I did to her, I broke, right in front of her.
She noticed my sobbing, and put her hand on my holoform's shoulder in a comforting way. I looked up, and gave a small smile, but it quickly faded and I kept my eyes on the road.

"Optimus, I'm so sorry. I had no idea" She said

"Why would you?" I replied

"... Were you two close?" She asked, and I answered

"Very"

After that, she told me about the night Sam found her. I could only imagine how she felt that night, but when she told me of the voice in her dreams for the past few years, I was shocked to hear that my voice was the same voice as the one in her dream. She looked tired as she explained, and as soon as she was finished, she was sound asleep once again.

I had no idea that we were so... Similar. She went through the agony of not knowing her real family, I went through the agony of loosing mine. She can be trusted... She is more auto-bot than anyone of us. The sleeping figure next to me seemed so... Content with the world around her, while as for me, I was a complete emotional wreck.

So why is it that she makes me feel, as if Nova were still alive?

I know, I know, not all of can handle the feels, but that's my filler into the original story. I hope you guys liked it and I will see you all in the next chapter.

Kathryn out 😉
