_______________________________ 3rd person pov:
Chaos ensued, as both man and the mechanical hurried to prepare for another mission. Orders were barked, weapons prepped and then it was on to the planes.
(y/n) triple checked the chambers and the release on their double barreled shock-propulsion mk62z assault rifle; created using a blend of cybertronian and terran {earthly} technology. They also strapped their spare, highly explosive, energon ammo to their chest. Unbeknowest to them, they were being watched.
Optimus' thoughts pov:
I watched as agent (l/n) prepped their weapons. So young, too young for our war. Yet they handled it as well as any other soldier; better in some cases. I had never seen them cry...even for a fallen friend. Yet the sorrow I would hear spilling through the cracks around the door to their room spoke off another truth.
The selfsame sorrow I feel for each of my fallen comrades, is released for all to hear in the dead of night, if they be awake. Bittersweet memories of happier times drift through my processor asmy optics gaze upon their perfect face.
Yet they also hold such joy. Their smile....wonderful. The curve of their lips...so inviting.
No optimus what are you thinking. They're human. And yet...they hold a power and majesty I cannot comprehend. They are a true leader, if time were willing they would surely take up Lennox's mantle one day; they're certainly in line, if what my sharp audios have heard is true. Maybe time will reveal the answer.

Your pov:
The sound of blaster fire and numerous gunshots could barely be heard over the thunderous beating of my heart. Adrenaline whizzing through my systems, putting me on high alert to every flash and bang. I narrowly dodge a hailstorm of decepticon fire as Bumblebee dashes by. He dodges effortlessly, swinging himself over the decepticon...taking its head with him. Man for a scout he sure can fight.
The other autobots take out the rest of the enemy as a strong unit. Teamwork is core to their success and the link provided by their fearless leader; Optimus Prime. I watch as he lands a seemingly casual sucker-punch to the remaining decepticon. Also decapitating it. So elegant and regal. Wait I'm seriously thinking these thoughts about a giant alien robot...again. Maybe there is something wrong with me.
Agent Lennox or William as I am now allowed to refer to him casually is ordering the clean up crews to move in in the background. 'Guess that's our cue to move out' I remark as I casually saunter up to stand by his side. 'Hmmm' is his only reply, i look over to see he's got an inbound call from command, probably to complain about collateral damage...again. Boy I would not like to be in his shoes.
Clicks and whistles start up in the background as the autobots exchange rapid fire post-battle checks and banter. I pick my way over various debris to Optimus' side. He gives me a small acknowledging glance and continues with his various exchanges; both verbal and over a com-link.
Unbeknownst to him, one decepticon narrowly survived, and was aiming his gun straight for the unprotected leaders back. No-one saw it but me and I reacted on instinct. 'Optimus'. I screamed his name even as I ran infront of him and opened fire on the being that would dare hurt the object of my affections; though I was unwilling to admit to them just yet.
Distracted from its original target, the decepticon opened fire on me instead. Scoring one lucky shot through my shoulder before being taken down by an enraged Optimus.
'They're losing blood. It may have hit a main artery' said a nearby panicked medic, trying to stem the blood flow. The words 'Ratchet, can you help them' were issued from a now severely panicked prime.
White and black spots danced in front of my vision as the rest of the world pulsates in some sort of cosmic dance. Well if I'm going to die I may at least let him know how I feel. I tried to move my lips only to find my weak control on my body fading. Panicked, i began to thrash around, trying to elicit a response from my increasingly numb body. Voices of the medics drifted through the air to my ears 'Issue a sedative, she's losing more blood, we could lose her if she keeps moving.'
No. I have to tell him. 'optimus....I....love....' My world faded to black.
{Timeskip to after battle back at Base}
The steady beeping of the heart monitor and the uncomfortable feeling of an IV needle in my arm were my only welcome back to the land of the living. Well that and the audible shifting and clanking of metal as the great automotive leader stood on the other side of the medical Bay, watching me.
I was in the autobot's medical Bay...that was odd.
'Ratchet, believed our more advanced technology was better suited to saving your life. Honestly, I just wanted you to live no matter how. If you had died, i would have torn every single deception in the universe apart...and the I would offline myself. For I see no reason to remain online, if you are not with me.'
Wait, did I hear right. I lay stunned at the words that had escaped the primes mouth. Could he....did he....
I struggled to sit up before beckoning him closer. Heavy footsteps barely audible within the blanket of tension upon the room.
I swallowed in an effort to wet my parched throat, in preparation for what could very possibly be the best or worst decision of my life.
'Optimus, when I saw that deception, I didn't hesitate to run to protect you because I can't imagine life without you. I don't know what this is, whether it's live or something more but I do know...I want to figure that out with you.'
A rare small smile appeared on his faceplates as his optics softened. 'Then we will learn together. I will wait for you.' As Optimus Prime spoke those soft words to me I knew we had something by worth waiting for. And I let those final words that my heart was aching for me to say, finally slip past tired lips.
'I love you'.
