Its been a year now, Drift and I are so happy living together. Last month was the anniversary of when Drift found me, last month we finally gathered everything from my old home, last month Drift kicked the crap out of my father after he tried to hit me again, last month.. Drift said he loved me.

Arms wrapped around my waist as I stared out the window remembering everything that has happened to me while I've been with drift. Thanks to Drift, I have a boyfriend, thanks to him, I have a comfortable home, thanks to him, I have a job.

I turned my head to see the man I loved as his face nuzzled my neck "Morning, love."

I smiled and placed my hands over his, thumbing over his hands "Good morning.. I made your favorite tea." I said as I brought the pot of tea closer

I felt the vibration of his gentle chuckle as his lips pecked my cheek "Thank you." He took the pot and poured us both a cup "I was wondering, what would you want to do today? You have the day off and... Oh look, I'm open for the day." He playfully looked at his pretend watch as I looked at him and laughed. He looked up at me contently

"Actually, I was thinking we hangout here today.. A storm is going to roll in. Maybe snuggle on the couch? Or in bed.."

He smiled "I don't see why not." He said as he took a sip of his tea.

Since we started dating, Drift has become a serious cuddle bug. He'd wrap himself around me in bed during the mornings when Im too tired to get up quite yet, or before we go to sleep, he even took me to the bedroom when I tried to leave for work and told me I couldn't leave. I did end up leaving but I was a bit late.. As in.. An hour late. My boss was cool though, she found out about us and had the 'I told you so' look, she told me several times we'd hook up, it took awhile but we did.

He set his tea down and scooped me up in his arms before walking to the bedroom, setting me down like a delicate flower he laid next to me and we talked, we talked for hours, nothing in particular but that's just what we did. I'd talk about work and he'd talk about what he did during the day, he never got too in depth of what he did though but I never questioned it.

I giggled at him as he nuzzled up to me until we heard a bang.

We both jumped as Riko started barking madly, "Stay here." Drift said as he got up with a bat he kept in his room

Riko yelped and barked some more as Drift went out to see what was going on, voices grumbled. But it got quiet as I got up and slowly made my way to the living room, through the doorway to the kitchen I could see 2 men standing there as Drift frowned at them, 1 wore a green trench coat and goggles, the other had an ammo strap around him, he looked like he was in the military.

"I told you to leave, y/n is here. What do you want?" Drift folded his arms

"It's not us who wants you, it's Prime. He told us to tell you we need you bad."

"No. I have y/n now, you didn't need me before so why now? What changed?" Drift started to get agitated

"Like I told ya, its PRIME. Ya sayin yer not gonna come?" The green trench coated man argued

"Exactly." Drift said bluntly

"Drift, why won't you just come with us, see what he wants and if you don't want to do it you can come back, back to this little home you made." The other man said

Drift looked at them silently "Fine.." He muttered "I just need to go tell-" he turned and looked at me as i looked right back at him, he walked over and gently pushed me into the bedroom

"What is going on? Where are they taking you?"

"Don't worry, I'll be back I promise, it's old business." He pressed his lips into mine firmly, in assurance as his thumb brushed over my cheek "I'll be back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow??"

"Im sorry, I'll make it up to you."

I stared at him and sighed "Ok, do what you need to do."

He softly smiled "It's only a day, I'll be back. Think of it as... I'm out doing errands."

I forced myself to give a small smile, I somewhat understood "ok.."

"in the mean time Riko will keep you company." He said as Riko went trotting into the bedroom, he grabbed my hands cupping them into his own "I love you. There's an emergency phone under the mattress with only 2 contacts in it, me and Captain Lennox, my old boss.. If there'd be any reason-"

"Just go.." I said staring up at him "It must be important."

He stared at me with troubled eyes but leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss "I'll be back."

He left my hands, I stood there and listened to them leave. The door shut firmly behind them as I turned and looked at Riko who laid on the bed "you wanna cuddle?"

He softly growled at me as I sighed and laid on the bed.

The day went by slow, I slept most of it as the rest I just hung around, I ran out to grab a few things from the store before the storm, sat and listened to radio chatter for a few hours, I even took Riko out for a walk after the storm hit that night. I walked inside as Riko ran through the house like a maniac like he usually did after walks as I shut and locked the door, slipping into bed as I went to sleep for the night. When I woke up I got ready for work and left. It was a long and boring day and all I could think of was going home to see Drift.

When I got home there was a blue and black car sitting in the driveway along with a green sports car.

I walked inside to hear yelling

"I'm finally at peace yet you, nor Prime not even Lennox will accept it! Why can't you leave me alone??"

"Because y/n is a human! She doesn't know! Why can't you get that through your processor?!" Another voice shouted

I walked In to see Drift and that Crosshairs guy standing in the living room

They just stood there as Drift glared at him. "I don't care, she means everything to me, I can't tell her."

"Either you tell her or I WILL."

"I'm not leaving and that's final! Fight this battle on your own, you don't need me!"

"Its one tiny pathetic human, Drift. She will forget you ever existed in a few years and move on" Crosshairs growled

"You're wrong! Get out of my house."

"You're makin a mistake."

"The only mistake I ever made was going with you to see the team."

Crosshairs growled "dump her, you know we will outlive them all anyway, even Lennox!"

"Then I will make sure her years are used up with happiness becajse she makes me happy, maybe even start a family I'm done with the war, Crosshairs! I told Lennox I wanted to live out a human life."

"You need a cybertronian, not a human." Crosshairs glared

I stared at the two as they each looked towards me and Drift lost almost all his color in his skin, his skin when pale instead of his beautifully tan "y/n.."

"What is going on? Drift told you to leave so leave!" I looked at Crosshairs as he frowned at me, he brushed past me as he left as I looked towards Drift. "Drift, what the hell was he talking about?"

"Ah... y/n We shouldn't take about this. You shouldn't be concerned."

"Ok Drift I've be really lenient about your old job, I didn't care too much but now, these guys walk in here and try to take you away, and you're talking about some war! What, are you some sort of military?"

He looked at me with guilty eyes, the same look he gave me a year ago when he didn't want me to leave, he's holding something back.

"I don't care if you're military, it's great, I'm not mad about that at all, I just wanna know. And why are you talking as if you're Not humans. What is a cybertronian?"

He held the same eyes as he looked away and walked into the bedroom

"Its what I am..."

"Is that a race? I've never heard of them"

"Its a race but.. Not in human species, look lets just not talk about this."

"Not in human species'?? The hell does that mean? You're like an alien or something?" I frowned at him

He sat on the bed and looked at me "Its classified, you're right, I work with the military but I can't talk about it, not even with you. I love you, y/n but I just cant..i can't talk about it with you." He looked at me with sad eyes "just please, leave it alone."

"Fine.." I said as I climbed up in bed that night, I curled up with him and he fell asleep but I just laid there, I couldn't take it. It ate at me, what was he hiding? I got out of bed and grabbed the emergency phone and pounded the number to that Lennox guy.

I walked out to the kitchen waiting for him to answer as I leaned into the counter til the phone picked up "Drift?"

"No. This is y/n.."

"I've heard of you, he told me about you, what's wrong did he do something?"

"No. It's actually something he's hiding.."

"You want to know what a cybertronian is.. Crosshairs told me you overheard them."

I silently nodded as there was a sigh on the other end

"Well, if you're not sitting you should because it's a long story. So sit down somewhere."

I obeyed and sat on the couch, for about an hour we went back and forth, till all my questions were answered. I understood.

I stood in tge kirchen that morning and made coffee as I waited for him to wake up.

"Morning, y/n.. I'm sorry about last night.. I thought about it and I decided I should tell you, not now but at some point.. maybe another year."

"Its ok, Drift." I looked at him and smiled "I love you anyway. No matter what you are." He looked at me then glanced at the phone I put on the counter

"You talked to him..?"

"I couldn't sleep.. It was bugging me, don't worry though. He told me everything, I understand now that you're an alien seeking Refuge. I'm alright with it, he told me that that car out there is really you. I don't care, you're you.." I leaned over and pressed my lips into his and wrapped my arms around him "I love you."

That was the first time i ever seen Drift cry, he was so overwhelmingly happy and I couldn't blame him. He's just that perfect, even though we'll hit a few bumps in the road about it later on, we'll tackle the problem together.
