[He can't believe he fell for a human]

______________________________

With the gentle pull of the handle, the groundbridge portal behind the Medic had closed. Like routine, Optimus and his selected bots, consisting of Arcee and Bulkhead this time, had gone off on patrol for possible Decepticon activity. Bumblebee, along with his charge Raf and the other two human children, Miko and Jack, had left base to entertain themselves. Mainly because they didnt want to deal with the medic's currently grumpy mood. That left Ratchet alone, like usual.

Although not entirely alone this time. And Primus, did he wish he was.

The medic was quick to busy himself with work on his terminal station, attempting to ignore the fact that you, his charge, had been actually present in base today. Unlike the other humans, the Decepticons weren't entirely aware of your affiliation with the Autobots, allowing you to come and go as you pleased relatively safely. You also weren't a child, but still needed to be kept under his watch as you went about your adult responsibilities. Much to his dismay.
