Optimus x Ratchet (Ratchet x Wheeljack?)

Optimus was quiet watching Ratchet with Wheeljack, an small sense of unease lingered despite knowing the wrecker better. He still didnt fully trust Wheeljack around Ratchet, not with the way his servo lingered on the medics back a little to long or how he would pull Ratchet away from Optimus, no he didnt like this mech with his mate at all. Optimus couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy and possessiveness whenever he saw Wheeljack with Ratchet. He knew it was irrational, but he couldn't help it. Ratchet was his mate, and he didn't want anyone else getting too close to him. He tried to shake off the feeling, telling himself that he was being paranoid and that Wheeljack was just a friend. But deep down, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. As he watched the two interact, he noticed how Ratchet seemed to relax in Wheeljack's presence and how the wrecker always seemed to make him laugh. It made Optimus feel like he wasn't doing enough to make Ratchet happy, like he was failing as a mate. He sighed and decided to talk to Ratchet about his feelings, hoping that his mate would understand and reassure him. "Ratchet, may I speak with you for a moment?" Optimus asked, approaching his mate. Ratchet turned to him, a small smile on his face. "Of course, Optimus. What's on your mind?" he asked, placing a hand on his mate's shoulder. Optimus took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "I...I know this may sound silly, but I can't help but feel a bit jealous and possessive when I see you with Wheeljack. I know he's just a friend, but I can't shake the feeling that something is off." he admitted, looking down at the ground. Ratchet's expression softened, and he moved closer to his mate. "Optimus, you have nothing to worry about. Yes, Wheeljack is my friend, but you are my mate. No one can ever replace you, and I love you more than anything." he said, placing a hand on Optimus' cheek and tilting his head up to look at him. Optimus felt his spark swell with love and gratitude, and he leaned in to place a gentle kiss on Ratchet's lips. "Thank you, Ratchet. I needed to hear that." he said, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. Ratchet smiled and pulled him into a tight embrace. "Anytime, my love." he whispered, holding his mate close. Optimus felt a sense of relief wash over him as he held onto Ratchet. He realized that his worries were unfounded, and that he needed to trust his mate and their relationship. "I'm sorry for doubting you, Ratchet. I know you would never do anything to hurt me, and I trust you completely." he said, looking into Ratchet's optics. Ratchet smiled and squeezed his hand. "I understand, Optimus. We all have our moments of insecurity and doubt. But remember, I'm here for you, always." he said, kissing his mate's forehead. Optimus felt a warmth spread through his spark, and he knew that he was lucky to have Ratchet by his side. He vowed to never let his jealousy get the best of him again, and to cherish and love Ratchet with all his being. As they pulled away from each other, Optimus noticed Wheeljack watching them with a knowing smile. He felt a pang of embarrassment, wondering if the wrecker had overheard their conversation. However, Wheeljack simply nodded at him and gave a small wink before turning back to Ratchet. Optimus couldn't help but feel grateful for the understanding and support of not only his mate but also his friend. He knew that their relationship may not always be perfect, but with trust and communication, they could overcome any obstacle together. With a newfound sense of confidence, Optimus took Ratchet's hand and led him away, ready to enjoy the rest of their day together.
