[If you don't somewhat tear up at the title then get ready to be surprised]

Y/N walked out into the kitchen as she looked at Deadlock sitting at the table with a coffee

He glanced at her as he glanced away immediately

"Look at me.." she said

His brows furrowed a moment before he looked up at her, his right eye was slowly losing its bright red hue to a bright blue

She stood there beside him and sighed "why is it losing red?"

He glanced away and sighed "I don't know.."

"Maybe you should see the doctor."

"No, I'm just going through a few changes, it's changing my op- eyes.."

"A few life changes don't change a person's eyes."

"It'll be fine, trust me.. I think this is a good change."

She somewhat frowned "is it because of your not so little secret?"

"Just because you know I'm not human doesn't mean you should be so cocky.."

"But yet you seem to have no idea why your eyes are changing color? I thought you were supposed to be some highly intelligent being?"

"I'm not a doctor, y/n... but I do have a theory."

"And that is?"

"I told you about the 3 factions right?"

"Yeah, the good, the bad, and the rogues, so?"

"I'm bad, y/n.. the bad guys got red eyes, the good guys have blue."

"And? What are you suggesting?"

"I'm turning into a good guy." He frowned

She smiled a little "well that's the deadlock I like.."

"I've been thinking about my name.."

"Deadlock? What about it?"

"I wanna change it, I don't want to be called Deadlock anymore."

She chuckled softly "alright, you're a new 'man' now, whats your new name?"

"I don't know.. I'm still thinking."

"Well whatever you decide I bet I'll love it.."

"That's just it, I want you to name me.."

"Me name you? But you're not a dog, you give animals names, a person should decide their own name.."

"I want you to name me, y/n.." he said grabbing her wrist before she walked away as he pulled her into his lap "So, whats my new name?"

Y/n chuckled softly "let me think about it, for right now I'll call you D just so you can get away from your old name.. deal?"

"Fine.." he muttered before pressing his lips into her a moment before pulling away "I'll give you till tonight then you'll choose.."

"Sure, tough guy.. now come on, you got chores to do. Away form the house so I can get it clean."

He snorted "you act like I'm the one that makes it so messy.. but yet whose clothes are around the house?"

She grinned and jumped up from his lap "exactly, it's my mess so I gotta clean and you gotta go. Go out and mail this bill, please it's been sitting here for a week now.."

He sighed but stood up and left as the car engine turned out and faded, y/n got to work on cleaning.

By time Drift had returned there was blood and energon all over the house, various things were broken and displaced as he ran through the house "y/n?! Y/n??" He halted upstairs where she laid on the bed, blood seeped in the blankets and on the floor, he ran over "y/n! Y/N, what happened??"

She looked up with a half cracked smile "Drift.."

"what?"

"You're drift.."

His eyes widen "My name? it's Drift? well, it's a lot less intimidating as Deadlock.." he smiled sadly before frowning "who did this?? WHO?!"

"your old boss he said, he said he would make an example of me.. what would happen when you turned your back on them. And it shouldn't be your name that makes you intimidating, Drift.. it should be you.. I think you should know.. I love you.. very much.. and you need to leave- before they find you.."

"Y/N, don't do this to me..i can't leave you here.." he said "I might not be a doctor but I can try and-"

"Drift.." she shook her head "you need to go. Donr worry about me."

Hot tears ran down his face as his right eye became a bright blue "Y/n.."

She smiled "I'll be fine, help yourself. Run, Drift." She said before closing her eyes "go."

"Deadlock!! I know you're in there come out!"

He looked over at the door with a growl as his breath quickened "FOR Y/N!! RAAHHH!" He ran out to see a minicon and took him down, ripping out wires and damaging this spark chamber before returning to his form and speeding away.
