Hey everyone! So I decided to make a oneshot story setted after the AoE. So as usual, I'm sorry about the imperfections in this story as I typed this from my phone and didn't even use computer. And also like usual, I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS. So hope you guys enjoy. :)

Cade was sitting on the hood of the red-blue truck, looking at the stars above. His head was tilted upward, and his vision was filled with farms of blinking dots in the dark night sky. The warmness of the engine of the truck below comforts his tired muscles as he lay on his back, both hands are behind his head. The memory of the Prime that changed his life forever is still fresh in his mind, despite the fact that it's been 4 years since Optimus left them here on Earth.

The Autobots are not treated as a threat for Earth anymore since they're the one who saved the Earth one more time. Instead, they were given the rights to stay on Earth as long as they help in defending the Earth without doing too much of damages and casualties. So far the Autobots who've shown themselves from their hideout never break the rules setup by the United Nations and the International Human-Extraterrestrial Understanding Bureau and they've even helped their fellow human friends in their daily life.

"Cade, no, I have to go"

"No Optimus, please stay. There must be something we can do to stop this thing from blowing up" Cade begged at the mech, holding the metallic cheeks with his hands, resting his forehead on the face of the robot.

"Cade, I have to go. There's no other way we could stop this. I can't afford on sacrificing my species and your species... Especially you." Optimus replied, a soft glare was visible on his optic, begging for understanding from Cade.

"So you rather die for me?" Cade answer emotionally.

"Yes, I would. But that would be the last choice for me as I still want to spend some times with you. Here. Together." Optimus replied with more emotion in his facial feature, now pushing his face a bit nearer to Cade's touches, savouring every touch and sensation he could get. His optic closed for a few seconds, and opened back to see the nice face of the human he care the most.

"So don't go. We can figure out this on our own. I'm an engineer." Cade now in the verge of crying, knowing he couldn't do anything to stop the robot besides on begging like a lost puppy. The voice that he have been keeping away from getting out is now leaking, causing Optimus to sigh on the minor breakdown the human is having.

"Cade, you know you can't do it right here. And besides, I have to meet my Creator to solve this thing. Please, my Cade. Allow me to go. I promise I will survive and live again." Optimus assured on the now crying middle-aged father who's now having a lot of things to think of. "I promise to you, sweetheart."

"Promise to me okay dear..." Cade couldn't continue and sobbed on the shoulder of the great Knight. Optimus also couldn't help his breakdown too and he planted his servo on Cade's back and tilted his head abit, tasting the warm feeling of the human skin.

"No Cade, don't do this to me. You have to be strong, no matter what. This isn't what Tessa would like to see. Be strong sweetheart, I'll promise to you no matter what, I will be alive for you." After a few moments, Cade let Optimus shoulder from his embrace, wipping his tears that rolled before. Optimus straighten up, standing proudly towards the Autobots and his fellow human allies.

"So will we see you again?" Cade asked the most painful question with his head tilted upwards, looking at the tall mech who's also looking at Cade.

"Cade Yeager, I do not know. But whenever you look to the stars, think of one of them... as my soul." Optimus replied with his optics closed and opened slowly, knowing that he doesn't have any abolute answer for the question that was asked by Cade. He turned his gaze to the Autobots. "Defend this family, Autobots. As they have you. Defend all they can be." Optimus added, now his rocket booster had been started.

Optimus lowered his body for the last time for the sake of his lover. "Sweetheart, may we meet again in the future. Take care your family and don't overwork yourself. Take your meals, and stay healthy." Huge digit run across Cade's soft right cheek, wiping the tears that was flowing. Cade closed his eyes, touching the digit that's caressing his face, then feeling the metal sensation for the last time.

"Goodbye Optimus. I love you." Cade let his eyes open and the digit that was caressing his face has moved away. Optimus is now standing, ready to take off and for the last time, Optimus say the words softlt to Cade. "Cade Yeager. I love you too."

The rush from the rocket booster of the robot made everyone startled, shielding themselves from the air rush. A huge 30-foot robot was seen taking off, moving at great speed. Cade tilted his head upward, looking at the lovely figure for the last time.

Cade snapped back to reality when the ringtone of his phone went off. He picked his phone and answered the person behind the line.

"Hello?"

"Dad? Where are you?"

"Just chilling around here on the viewers peak. Why?"

"Dad come home. Dinner's ready. You have to eat something."

"Okay, I'll be there soon. See yah sweetie." Cade disconnected the phone call and lifted himself up so that he's in sitting posture. Cade looked up one more time before he start to talk something.

"Okay Optimus, I gotta go home. Dinner's ready and I've promised to you to keep myself in good conditions." Just as Cade's foot touched the ground beneath him, he stopped at the voice that's talking to him from behind.

"Yes, you should go home. It's cold out here."

The voice. The voice is sooo familiar to Cade. The voice that he's been longing to hear for a long time. The voice... The voice of... Cade quickly spin around to see who's talking to him.

"Cade Yeager. Did you missed me sweetheart?"

What he saw that moments made a super long grin to form on his face as his longing for the presence of his beloved Autobot is finally over.
