Your father was gone. No other family waited for you.. The only family besides your father had been Spike who was in critical care currently. Spike’s father, Spikey, had sacrificed himself to save Optimus. You had no one.

Well.. for now.

You had been curled up in Optimus’ alt mode for the last two hours. Trying to sleep but..not managing it quite yet. The thrum of his engine was calming though, and sleep tugged on the edges of your consciousness.

“You are awake.”

It wasn’t a question, he knew. Somehow.
