I love Tutor Bot :]

[tf-animated-out-of-context]

[lazychimken]

Ever since TFO I’ve fallen in love with Elita-One I love her sm and according to ME everyone else loves her too // also here are my thoughts about my weird TF continuity that I’m making up rn made up of combination of TFO and TFA

—————

So the TFO movie events still happen except that B-127 is a sparkling. Orion becomes Optimus Prime and with the help of Elita-One and the newly formed Autobots, they rebuild Cybertronian society.

B-127, along with other sparklings such as Cliffjumper, are sent to the newly formed Autobot Academy. Initially it was to have them learn basic knowledge (like our real-world education system), but as the Decepticons, Quintessons, and other threats continue to threaten the Autobots it eventually becomes an Autobot Boot Camp to train soldiers, spies, scouts, etc.

After orbital cycles/years of not seeing OP or Elita-One, B-127 finally graduates from the academy as a scout and immediately tries to become OP’s personal scout. He’s still a yapper (which got him bullied) but now that he’s a teen (idk the TF equivalent to that) he’s gotten a bit more bratty and overconfident to make up for his short stature.

While B-127 was in the academy, OP has continued to lead the Autobots to form a more fair society for all. He continually runs into Megatron throughout the war, but still has hopes of one day changing his mind. OP feels the pressure of being the leader constantly and as such hopes to assign the rank of Prime (or something similar to it) to other bots, such as Ultra Magnus and Rodimus (who’s still training to become one).

Elita-One becomes the leader of the Elite Guard (named after her + a separate entity) that goes into battle side-by-side with OP. She’s seen as one of the greatest soldiers the Autobots have and everyone, especially academy students, wants to be part of the Elite Guard. Between helping OP, fighting battles, leading the Elite Guard, and training new recruits, she has a bit of a chip off her shoulder, but always means well.

Side Notes for Arcee and Hot Rod:

- Arcee and Hot Rod were teens when the events of TFO occurred, with Arcee being a cogless miner and Hot Rod being a cogged racer

- They have both graduated from the Autobot Boot Camp and are now soldiers

- Arcee is a new recruit for the Elite Guard and has a bit of a hero-crush on Elita-One; her bubbly personality and endless energy is seen as a welcome change for the Elite Guard and she gets along with everyone

- Hot Rod was initially also going to the Elite Guard, but his prowess on the battlefield as well as his natural leadership skills caught OP’s attention and he’s now being personally tutored by Ultra Magnus

- Became friends with B-127 and adopted him as a sort of little brother, as they’re glad to not be the youngest anymore and to show off to someone who’s easily impressed

Hi! Hope you're doing well!

I'd like to have something about Buddy with Russian greyhound (I requested that once, remember that one?) The first meeting, some shenanigans with each of the Team Prime members, some fights with the Decepticons, even Buddy dealing with Sentinel's bullsh*t and defending Team Prime. You can make it in one post of you want)

Oh, have you come up with his name? If not, then I suggest Quickstep or Sprinter)

Have a good time of your day!

P.S.: was my request really weird? 😅 just curious)

This has been one of the request always slipping around, today I finally caught it!!!!

And no, your request was not weird, a bit different from the ones I usually get, but not weird.

Hope you enjoy!

Sprinter and Team Prime shenanigan's

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronian reader

TFA

A lot of things had happened while Team Prime was getting used to their new team member, Sprinter.

Not only was their alt mode a bit… peculiar, but the amount of energy they always seemed to be stocked on.

Bumblebee and Prowl seemed like the only bots able to keep up with them.

But even then, Sprinter seemed to be literally, ‘one step ahead’.

Bumblebee and Prowl panting at a stop. Bumblebee: “Di-Did you see- where- oh primus- they went?” Prowl just weakly shakes his helm before the two go their separate ways to find their teammate. Meanwhile with Sari and Sprinter… Sprinter is sitting for once on the top of a tall building watching Sari eat her burger. Sari: “Thanks for getting me out of Tutor bots lessons today.” Sprinter: “Well, you did say it was torture, and there’s no way I’m letting my friends get tortured!” Sari slowly realizes the misunderstanding. Sari: “I meant that—” Sprinter stands up and stretches a bit. Sari: “Sprinter?” Sprinter: “I’m gonna run over that bot so fast he won’t know what hit him!” Sari: “No!”

Sprinter seemed to have a sense of justice when it came to the care of their new friends.

It was only fair.

They helped them get used to Detroit, it was only right to help them when they needed help.

Sprinter, to a degree, understands that they are much more energetic than the others and should take it down a notch, to not hurt anyone.

As much as they love going fast, they love their friends more.

Going out of the way to defend them, when necessary, even if they don’t think it is.

Sentinel digging a digit into Optimus’s chassis. Sentinel: “So help me Optimus, if I every see your crusty paintjob—” Sentinel spots two narrowed optics in th shadows staring at him. And audible growl is heard. Sentinel: “What is that?” Sprinter, in their hound form slowly walks to Optimus side, optics never leaving Sentinel. Sprinter: “Stop touching my friend.” Sentinel: “Are you giving me orders?” Sprinter: “A warning. Stop making my friend feel bad.” Optimus: “Sentinel—” Sentinel crouches down mockingly and roughly pokes their snout. Sentinel: “Or whaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Sprinter’s jaw is locked on his servo as the other Prime tries to shake them off. Sentinel: “GET THEM OFF ME!!!!!” Optimus doesn’t know if he wants to laugh or cry at that moment, but he lets Sprinter get a few dents in before helping his other Prime.

They have been banned from entering the Elite Guard’s ship.

Sprinter doesn’t care.

They’d bite Sentinel again if they had the chance.

Jazz and the Jettwins have new respect for the bot.

Blurr, as much as he gets back to the ship to do his reports, always takes a little break to meet up with his fellow speedster.

The only one on Earth, and probably Cybertron, to understand him talking without giving him a blank stare or asking him to repeat.

Fanzone has given up on attempting to give them a speeding ticket.

Mainly because he found out that Sprinter has a collage of all their past tickets and is making it in his image.

He still doesn’t know whether to be flattered or furious.

…He will occasionally give them one so they could continue.

When it comes to Con’s, Sprinter loves to mess with them using their speed and alt mode.

With their speed, Sprinter easily climb buildings to kick the Con’s straight into their chins.

It also helps in evacuating humans and their teammates out of blast areas.

Sprinter spots Bulkhead in the line of fire. Sprinter: “Bulkhead!” They sprint over to him and using both their pedes they land a kick to his side. The impact is fast enough to move them both out of the blast area. Bulkhead rubs his side a bit. Bulkhead: “Thanks for the help and all… but did you need to kick that hard? I feel your pedes on my fender.” Sprinter gives an embarrassed smile before racing over to help the others.

With their alt mode, they love to confuse the Con’s.

It always confuses them.

Sometimes, on good days, the Cons will try to figure out what their alt mode is and get distracted.

They don’t even have to move!

Sprinter in their alt mode is sitting by the water fountain at the park. Lugnut: “I will crush you Autobot—wait—Blitzwing!” The triple changer comes over. Blitzwing: “What iz—urgh their back.” Lugnut: “Do you have the list?” Blitzwing sighs. Blitzwing: “Lugnut we do not have time for this!” The triple changer still passes the list of space animals to Lugnut. Team Prime gets to the park just in time to see the two Con’s retreating and an unscathed Sprinter lounging in a shady area. Sprinter opens their optics at their team’s surprised faces. Sprinter: “Lugnut had to take Blitzwing back to the base after suffering a glitch to the processor. It looked like a bad one too.”

[thinkingboutthoseformers]

Reader is working as an assistant/tutor/babysitter for Isaac Sumdac. These are some various prompts/thoughts I had concerning tfa. Very self-indulgent reader insert.

Reader sees sari all by herself with very little human interactions: Mr. Sumdac, if you ever need a babysitter or tutor or anything, I'd be glad to help...

Reader: SARI, WE NEED TO LEAVE

Sari: I made a new friend

Bumblebee: Woah. You have a bigger human as a pet? Cool.

Reader:AHHHGH

Ratchet: The damn equipment is fried, I can't use my micro tools to fix Prowl.

Reader: Can I help? I got tiny hands, at least compared to you.

Ratchet: WHERE DID THE ORGANIC COME FRO- Nevermind, just come up here and help.

Reader:Sees Isaac in the megahand chair, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?

Isaac:Whuh

Reader: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING HIS HAND AS FURNITURE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CUT OFF MY HAND TO USE AS A CUPHOLDER?

Isaac: ah...my apologies,, Megatron.

Reader: PLEASE TELL ME YOU AT LEAST HAVE KEEPING THEM COMPANY OR KEEPING THEM BUSY

Isaac, sweating:...ah,,

Reader: ISAAC SUMDAC THAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE, YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER.

Isaac:i...I'll will work on that,,

Megatron, who has been through worse imprisonment by the autobots, pleasantly surprised by the concern from this little creature.

Reader brings stuff for Megatron to do, as well as spending time with him so he won't be lonely. They watch movies together, discuss literature and culture, and exist in the same space as each other. One day Reader comes in and is quiet.

Reader:...Megatron, I know I am overstepping by saying this, but you're a Decepticon, aren't you?

Megatron is quiet before: Yes, I am. I'm assuming you told-

Reader: I haven't told anyone.

Megatron becomes quiet in a mix of contemplation.

Reader: I just- I noticed things. The way the 'bots talk about their 'cause', how they talk about themselves, how they talk about decepticons and... I worry.

Megatron: Worry?

Reader:...The things they say, about being 'cogs in the great autobot machine', about being drafted into the military against their will, about how they were abandoned once they were deemed useless. I guess... well, indoctrination is a hell of a thing.

Megatron: You speak as if you know these things personally.

Reader: Not really, I guess I'm more...well read and aware than anything else. Which is why I wanted to ask you your side, the deception side of the story.

Megatron: Very well...*talks about the war* Does that answer any of your worries?

Reader: It does, thanks Megatron.

Megatron: Will you tell Dr. Sumdac or the others?

Reader: No, I won't. I don't care what your background is, nobody deserves to live as a head in a jar. And... well, when I was explaining that I want my friends to be happy, I was also including you, Megatron.

Megatron's optics soften ever so slightly, before remarking: Head in a Jar? Is that another human phrase?

Reader: Oh, I should show you Futurama!!

Megatron gains his freedom and leaves during the season finale. He doesn't kidnap Issac, as the reader pleads to him to leave the sumdac and sari alone.

Reader is exposed for knowingly interacting and aiding a decepticon.

UM: You knowingly helped a deception. Why would you-

Reader: He was wounded! Maybe dying!! I wasn't going to let him suffer!!

SP: What is wrong with you, filthy organic? Don't you know what he's done? How many Autobots he's killed

Reader: NOBODY DESERVES TO SUFFER LIKE THAT.

UM: I see, you have strong convictions organic. However, those convictions will not help you in the autobot court of law. Sentinel, have them cuffed and taken to the brig.

Reader: Let go, let go let go LET ME GO!!

OP: Ultra Magnus, sir, please! You don't, you can't-

SP: Ah-ah-ah, Optimus. You're already on thin ice. The academy dropout who lost the allspark, harboring an organic traitor? I should handcuff you after them.

*Optimus flinches and begins trembling but backs down, Sari begging them to do something. The rest of the crew torn between trying to help or follow orders*

Reader: IS THIS THE NOBLE AUTOBOT CAUSE?! ARRESTING NONCOMBATANTS FOR TENDING TO THE WOUNDED?!

Megatron: I see, so this how the autobots conduct themselves. How truly disgusting. *Megatron enters, along with his other decepticons. He attacks, overwhelming the autobots. He then takes the reader, but before leaving looks at OP.*

You should know that your little friend here had nothing but good things to say about you. Here I was, hoping that I would be wrong. But, unfortunately, you autobots are all the same. How disappointing. Deceptions, Fall back! For now.

*Reader looks over at Optimus with a cold stare, before looking over to Sari with a pained smile.* Take care, Sari. I- Keep up with your studies!!

*Megatron and co. leave, with optimus and the others left in the wreckage.*

[invadergia]

I kinda have a first contact scenario about mtmte soooooo,,,,

Imagine the robots in tfa like the tutor bot getting misplaced and ending up on the lost light. Just lil guy is lost and needing to find his way back but can't, he's wondering around untill megatron, ultra magnus or rodimus finds him. They can just treat him as a pet or like a little toy.

Idk what made me think of this but I love it. Any thoughts? @skylarkking @starscreamhasdied @callsign-relic

[sari-but-not-sorry]

@tfa-bee-and-c

let's take ibuprofen together

(after i finish all my assignments tutor bot gave me)

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Since it's October how about a Halloween one. Tfa Sari has a new tutor/babysitter that she actually likes. But to the bot's horror Saris new friend matches the description of an infamous serial killer that made themesleves known on morning news stations to a tee. (They're not the killer by the way.) How do they react?

You better believe that that Optimus is on the case and the moment the description of the serial killer comes out and he realizes that it matches Sari’s tutor he brings them straight to captain Fanzone himself. If Sari objects and tells him that she is their alibi and that they were somewhere else when the murders happened he might hesitate for a second but in the end he will still bring them in. He wants to believe Sari but she’s young and it might just be that she’s trying to defend a person that she looks up to. That’s why when it’s finally evident that the tutor is NOT the killer that Optimus starts to feel ashamed. He doesn’t regret bringing them in but he shouldn’t have dismissed Sari so easily.

Record scratch. Dramatic zoom-in. Aw hell no! Ratchet immediately separates Sari and the tutor from each other and calls the police. Doesn’t listen when Sari tells him that it can’t be them because they were with her at the times of the killings. He will be incredibly suspicious of the tutor up til the moment it’s revealed that they are not the serial killer. Now Ratchet feels a tab embarrassed and he will apologize to Sari’s tutor. He doesn’t regret his actions though as it’s always better to be on guard than just let things go. Cause what if they had really been the serial killer and he had just ignored it? Ratchet would never have forgiven himself if anything happened to Sari.

Bumblebee sees the news and there’s this moment where he stares at the TV then stares at the tutor, stares back at the TV, back to the tutor and back and forth for a few more times before it sinks in and he fucking jumps off the couch, grabs the tutor and holds them away from his body like they are a rabid dog. Sari desperately tries to defend her tutor and while Bee knows that she wouldn’t lie about these kinds of things he still calls for Optimus and ends up bringing them to the police. Feels really guilty when it comes back that the tutor is innocent and he does apologize to both them and Sari for believing the worst.

Now, Bulkhead always wants to believe the best in people and while he does think that the tutor is innocent (they are very nice and Sari talks to well about them) he knows that the responsible thing to do is to bring them in to the police station for questioning. He does this but not before actually confronting the tutor and telling them what’s going on. So honest and forthcoming that the tutor comes with him willingly just to put his mind at ease. Bulkhead is relieved when the tutor is revealed to be innocent. Apologizes to them for everything.

While they don’t seem like a coldblooded killer, Prowl knows full well that the most cruel people are those that hide behind honest faces and pretty lies. He does not hesitate to bring the to the police for questioning but he does however withhold his judgement and lets the evidence speak for itself. Does not apologize after it’s concluded that the tutor is innocent but only because he knows that he did the right thing.

[erimeows]

In TFA the robots depicted had certain jobs used to help humans living in Detroit. Examples being teachers, camera-men, traffic control, security, and cleaners.

If the Autobots and Decepticons were made by humans what jobs would they have or be marketed for? Like for domestic use, office application, or public service?

This is an original one! I've never thought about this before, and even if this is a rather small list, it was fun to make. Thanks for the request, headcanons (in the form of a list of aforementioned occupations) below the cut.

Optimus Prime: Assistant/clerk

Ratchet: Medical (so basically the same, but for humans)

Bumblebee: Transportation/taxi

Bulkhead: Repairman

Prowl: Yoga instructor

Sentinel Prime: News anchor

Ultra Magnus: Political figure (assistant/speech writer for a politician, specifically)

Blurr: Racer

Jazz: Musician

Arcee: Teacher/tutor

Megatron: Battle bot

Starscream: Airplane/flight

Blitzwing: Chef

Lugnut: Demolition

Shockwave: Lab assistant

Soundwave: Lyricist/author

Blackarachnia: Animal caretaker 

Swindle: Bank clerk

Lockdown: Police bot

Can we know more about wildbreak?

Growing up in a Neutral hub meant that he had a lot of exposure to alien culture and entertainment, one day he happened to stumble across a ‘DVD’ thing called Monsters Inc. and it’s now his favorite earth movie

Bots that were semi close to his age when he arrived on Cybertron were the jet twins! He thought they were super brave and cool but never met them until he reached Academy.

Knockout and Breakdown did the best they could at giving him a proper education while at the hub, but when he found himself put into private tutoring with some nice lady named Arcee, he was really overwhelmed with what he missed and continued to struggle in schooling on Cybertron. He has a hard time focusing and keeping still, but he found that he was really good at math! He worked hard and passed his final tests with flying colors, Wildbreak was just happy that he’d be going into a more hands on field at Academy with his military training!

He fumbled with his words a lot. Especially when he’s flustered.

If he HAD to pick a favorite Creator, it would be Breakdown. BD was the one who spent the most time with him growing up since KO was out scrapping together as many credits as he could get off at the hub clinic. His Sire knows him the best, and was always there to make him his meals and put him to bed. Knockout was always sure to check on him late in the night when he eventually did come home though. As a kid he remembers how his Carrier would always seem so tired even during the day cycle and would do his best to play with him, but more often then not he’d accidentally fall into recharge the moment he sat down. Wildbreak joined him in napping on his lap, his Sire would sometimes carry the two of them to berth and take a snooze with them too.

He can’t handle energon that has any form of spice to it. WB will CRY

Wildbreak’s family calls him Wybie! KO and BD are kind enough to only call him that at home, Dominiza ofc is NOT and uses every opportunity available to mess with him in public. She even went so far as to try and get the Academy to announce him as ‘Wybie Prime’ at his graduation ceremony. Thankfully Jazz Prime knew Wildbreak well enough to know that he’d probably die of embarrassment if his graduating class knew his nickname, so it didn’t go through lmao

I personally headcanon his tfa voice to sound a lot like Hiccup fom HTTYD!! So still kinda squeaky like his voice in RID

[undergaster]

My another tfa oc, Silvergear. She is one of the oldest cybertronians still alive, and is even rumored to be THE oldest cybertronian. She was one of the original founder and member of the Elite Guard, but left if after the end of Great War. She if often perceived as cruel and unpleasant, but that is mostly a side effect of her bluntness and not seeing a need to hide any of her opinions and views. But in private she can be a quite caring and friendly person, but this is a side of her she is comfortable showing only those she trusts. Silvergear also has a huge softspot for young bots, and while they can annoy her quite fast, she's not able to stay mad at them. Nowadays she's a teacher and a tutor, teaching young bots anything from Cybertron's history to self-defense techniques. While discretely slipping in a bits of knowledge and information that won't let young bots fully fell for autobot propaganda.

[invadergia]

Aww, the little person sized tutor bot being scared and hiding on the LL surrounded by bots that are enormous compared to the ones in TFA is so cute. Maybe he gets corralled into a small corner and carefully picked up like a little bird by a big bot who seems friendly, but he’s introduced to the others and finds out that Megatron caught him!!! But — it’s a different one? I think it would be sweet if he quickly warmed up to them all because he’s programmed to teach/learn and he gets interested in the science of alternate universes. I have a big Megs bias so the two of them can give each other philosophy lessons and he can get gently patted on the little TV head or set up a little bed and office on his desk. Maybe he gets to have a little job as a teacher on the ship for anyone who wants to learn about Earth.

This is mushy and probably not what you meant at all but I saw Relic reblog your post and just got inspired :’)

OMG HELLO 👋 your actually my first ever anon

And that is absolutely adorable, megatron gets his little reading buddy 🥹

Also Megatron getting called into Rung's office and sees the little tutor bot sitting on Megs shoulder.

Rung: what is that?

Megatron: my lil friend

Imagine The Tfa Bot’s Reactions To Sari Liking Her New Sitter

~

"Sari, I'll be right back. I have to feed the neighbor's cat real quick. Oh, um, feel free turn the tv on if you'd like. The remotes on the stand.", you directed her friends with a soft smile before leaving the small living room space of your apartment.

"Okay! But hurry! I want to finish our game of Trouble!"

You giggled and waved, your apartment door closing behind you. In your living room, some sitting on the couch, and rest on the floor, Detroit's team of Autobot's stared at where you had left with wide eyes and open mouths, save for Prowl who was also silently astonished, and then towards the young girl sitting squished between two of them while kicking her legs back and forth. Feeling their burning gazes, Sari looked up from observing her key to look between all her friends with suspicious brows.

"What? Do I have gum on my face, again?", she questioned while touching her cheeks and around her mouth in a bit of a panic.

"N-no, Sari, you don't have gum on your face.", Optimus sputtered, still shocked by what he's witnessed.

"Oh okay. Um. . .then why are you all still staring at me?"

"Why don't you listen to us like that?!", Bumblebee suddenly blurted out, startling not only the young girl but everyone else around him.

"What do you mean?! I listen to you guys!", Sari shot up, glaring at her friend.

"We're just very surprised, Sari. You seem to really like your new sitter, and that threw us for a loop is all.", Prowl stated, clearing things up while also occupied with one of your house plants. "Hmm, they take very good care of their plants. I'll have to ask for some advice before we go. . ."

When Optimus and his team had arrived at the address, decked out in their holoavatars per Sari's excited instructions, they weren't expecting to see you. They were expecting to meet a family member of her's, perhaps an aunt or uncle, or some cousins, but not a new sitter that Sari had actually liked and most of all, wanted her friends to meet. Usually when it came to her sitters, she'd sneak out of their homes or hers, wherever she was being watched, within thirty minutes of meeting them, and would catch a tram straight to her friends to complain about what she disliked about her new "prison keeper". With you, however, Sari hasn't uttered one negative word about you. As bad as it is for them to think this, her mechanical friends had honestly thought that perhaps she had called them to come get her, and was merely waiting for the chance that you'd leave, but from the lax posture once you had left, the pigtailed girl didn't seem to have any plans of going anywhere.

The group of mechs weren't sure why Sari seemed to like you so much. They've met a few of her sitters before, and they all seemed just as polite as you. You offered them drinks and some snacks when they followed you in, not realizing just who these friends of Sari were. To their surprise and appreciativeness, when Sari giggled to you why they couldn't have any of those, you didn't start bouncing up and down with star struck excitement, and instead apologized before thanking them for what they do for your city with a kind smile. Maybe that's why Sari liked you? Because you didn't view them as someone higher, but just as regular people? That could be it, but there had to be something more then your calm demeanor towards them for Sari to actually like and listen to you.

Ignoring Prowl's compliment about your green thumb, Sari made an o with her mouth before sitting back between Optimus and Bulkhead.

"Well yeah, they're really super cool. They don't treat me like a child and baby talk me, and get this, they actually make learning fun! With every other sitter, they'd just force me to sit down and listen to tutor bot drone on for forever. Not only that, but they'd either be over my shoulder like a doting parent who doesn't know anything about personal space, or they'd be on their phone with their friends like I don't even exist! But with (y,n), they actually try to help me with my learning and don't get mad or push me really hard if I don't understand something. They make my lessons into a really fun game or competition. Like there's this one quiz game we used called Kahoot and it's so much fun!!"

At this point, Sari had her friends smiling. Hearing her explanation as to why she enjoyed your company brought them their own happiness. Noticing Sari had suddenly gotten kind of quiet though, the bot's looked back to their friend to see her looking at the floor with a small frown. They were about to ask what was wrong, feeling like the positive flow was about to vanish and they were really going to hear what you were like, and it wouldn't be good.

"I. . .", Sari started before taking in a breath," I really like them, because they're nice to me. They don't treat me like how I told you my other sitters did. (Y,n)'s not constantly hovering over my shoulder, or acting like I'm just some kind of pet that needs to be checked on every once and a while. They've been very kind to me, and listen to me. They take what I feel into consideration instead of just brushing me off, because 'I'm a kid and I don't know how I feel.'. They. . .they treat me like a younger sister and it makes me so happy. I've always wanted a sibling, and (y,n)'s just that."

Sari's best friend's could not have been happier to have heard this instead of what they feared to hear before. You sounded like a very good person to them, and the bot's were so glad that you could be patient with their young friend and actually care about her instead of seeing her as just a mere child. The girl was a good kid with a big heart, and while she could be very stubborn at times, the Autobot's deeply cared for as well. They were immensely happy that she had found someone else who could be just as close, if not closer to her besides them.

All attention had been drawn to the creaking of your apartment door as you came walking through, fixing the ends of your sweater.

"Note to self, don't wear a sweater with strings on the end when feeding your neighbor's ca-"

You were suddenly cut off when Sari had jumped from the couch and came bounding towards you to give you a hug.

"O-oh my, I wasn't gone that long was I?", you chuckled while hugging her back.

"Nah, you're just my favorite sitter!"

You smiled, cheeks warming and eyes crinkling at the corners from the warmth this brought to your heart.

"Heh, well, let me go switch to a sweater that hasn't been used as a cat toy, and I'll come join you and your friends.", you patted her head and walked into the living room to get to your room.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'll just be a moment longer.", you apologized to the group huddled in your living room with a smile.

The bot's nodded, all smiling with nothing but patience.

"No problem. Take your time.", Optimus spoke with a raise of his hand.

You only smiled back before disappearing into your bedroom. Sari looked between where you had left to the boy in the red and blue jacket, a devious smirk etching it's way onto her face.

"You know, Optimus~", Sari drawled out, catching everyone's attention as she wiggled her brows at said bot. "They're single~"

"S-sari!!"

Th young girl burst into a fit of laughter at the prime's flustered expression, Bumblebee and Bulkhead joining her while Ratchet only shook his head, and Prowl continued to smile at her mischief.

~xXx~
