Chapter Text
Optimus still couldn't walk. Doing paperwork in his office helped with the pain. Why- why did he let his overload release that hard. His voice box still sounded like static. Rodimus has lost fragging privileges for a while. At least until he could speak again. Ultra Magnus walked in and asked, "Optimus. You okay? You haven't spoken in a few joors, and is that- OPTIMUS PRIME. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? A hickey?! Seriously?! Why- who? And there's MORE?! This is extremely unprofessional! And..... You can't speak because of that right?" Optimus nodded, he was embarrassed.
Ultra Magnus gave him a good lecture and asked him, " Which Mech or femme d- nevermind- knowing you it's probably Rodimus. Is it? Oh Primus it is. Why? Why him?" Optimus wrote down, "He's nice, he's sweet, he treats me right!' Ultra Magnus looked at him and said in the most disappointed dad tone, "Optimus. My sparkling, he fragged you so hard you can't speak and your limping. Your also covered in hickeys and love bites." Optimus' face was now a shade of red. Ultra Magnus looked disappointed.
After visiting the medbay, Ultra Magnus lectured him, saying "Optimus, you cannot date within the te- you are his superior!" Optimus said in a raspy voice, " we started in the academy...." Ultra Magnus was surprised.
" WELL WHY WASN'T I TOLD?! Your'e like my child" Optimus knew why. Optimus knew that because Ultra Magnus never had his own- and couldn't, he had become protective of Optimus. And he wouldn't have it any other day.
