You stared at your "work of art" with amusement. A smirk played on your lips as you tapped your chin thoughtfully.

Meanwhile a slightly grumpy mech looked at with the upmost unimpressed look. But it was only to mask the laughter and a smile.

"Well blinky you finally earn your title!" You laughed madly on his servo, tears starting to slip from your eyes.

He couldn't take it anymore and began to laugh. What a site he was.

You somehow managed to get wheeljack to let you wrap Christmas lights around his rather large audios.

You had taken a liking to the rogue bot.

Though lucky for you he's been hanging around the base more, to ratchets dismay. Though at times he liked being alone and still had a habit of leaving suddenly and unannounced.

But he was there and it was Christmas Eve. You gotten the idea when you were looking at him from the little catwalk for you and your fellow human friends. Looking at his giant audios as he pestered ratchet and talked with bulkhead.

Bravely you called out to him and were surprised he actually came up to you. That's how it all began.

Now you were sitting in the jackhammer with him and laughing to the point where you couldn't breathe while a ever so slightly amused wheeljack looked at you in such a way you didn't understand.

After you got done with your fit of laughter you wiped your eyes and through little giggles told him to show everyone else in the base.

"Sorry kid, not happening. You had your fun and this will stay between just us. Got it?"

You nodded in understanding, grinning wide. He was definitely embarrassed.

He glanced at the unused lights to his side and a mischievous smirk spread across his faceplates.

"We still have some unused lights. I have an idea for YOU." He mused as he examined you. You felt nervous under his gaze, unsure of what he was scheming.

He grabbed a strand and began to wrap it around your body with caution.

You stood there unsure as he began to wrap your legs up with the lights. Should you fight it or see what he's planning?

He finished when the only parts on your body that weren't covered were your hands, feet, and head.

"There, perfect!" He exclaimed and held you out to get a better look at you. Musing over his work of art.

You blinked in tandem with his colorful audios.

You beamed up at him. "Ok now since I'm all decked out can we go to the base?"

Wheeljack groaned but let you have what you wanted.

Right before he stepped out of the jackhammer with you in hand you shouted and startled him.

"WAIT! LETS A PICTURE!" You shouted excitedly.

Wheeljack rolled his optics but let you struggle to get your phone and take the picture.

Inside the base raf, miko and jack talked excitedly about what they were going to do during the break with their guardians. Miko was explaining about the concert she was going to attend with bulk then she stopped when everyone heard footsteps coming.

Miko shrieked with excitement and laughter when you and wheeljack appeared.

"Will you not make such loud sounds!" Ratchet started to holler until he turned around and saw the sight before him.

Ratchet was at a loss of words, and wheeljack gave a cheeky grin.

"What's the matter doc, can't handle my light display."

Ratchet still didn't respond except for turning back around and grumbling about what he's going to do to him next time he calls him doc all the while he then hid a light smile.

"Wow Jackie you're festive." Bulkhead teased and playfully punched his friend on the chassis.

"Well it was originally THIS ONES idea." He held your lit up frame so bulkhead could get a better look.

Miko had bulkhead pick her up and hold her out to you.

She busted out laughing. "You look like a human Christmas tree!"

You grinned ear to eat at your friend. "Yeah, Jackie thought this would be fair."

Wheeljack looked down at you using his nickname. No one really called him that around the base except bulkhead. So it was different hearing it from someone else.

You heard someone clear their throat and wheeljack turned around to see Optimus, arcee and bumblebee smiling and stifling their laughter.

"I see your in the Christmas spirit." Arcee commented and gave a friendly smile.

Miko tapped bulkhead and she motioned for him to lean close as she whispered excitedly. "I think (name) and wheeljack love each other." Bulkhead looked at you two and looked back down at miko. "Maybe"

Jackie wouldn't really be the one to outwardly show affection. He's not that kind of bot. But the idea of him taking a liking to someone wasn't bizarre. But definitely different since bulkhead thought it would've at least been another bot that he would fall for, not a human. Though not even bulkhead knew all of wheeljack's mysteries, hidden thoughts and feelings.

Miko looked at bulkhead and looked back at you with determination. "Well I think they are. And I'm sure (name) loves wheeljack! Haven't you noticed before?! It's so obvious!"

Bulkhead scratched behind his helm. "I guess, I haven't really noticed it before. But now that you mention it.." Bulkhead began to trail off as they both watched you two laugh and talk, still blinking in tandem with each other.

Wheeljack set you down on the cat walk and bulkhead did the same with miko as wheeljack picked up the big ball of metal to lob.

You walked over to raf and ratchet. "Thanks for the portable powering devices for the lights."

Ratchet nodded and raf smiled. "No problem. I liked what you used them for." Raf gave the thumbs up. You smiled and nodded.

Miko then jumped on you. "Come on (name) let's talk!" She pulled you away from the boys and to a little corner of the catwalk. You were cautious not to crush any of the lights as you leaned against the railing. "What's up?" You asked your close friend.

Her eyes darted from wheeljack to you and bent and whispered "Do you love wheeljack?"

You were startled by the question and leaned a little farther on the railing.

"Well ,he is a nice bot and he's pretty cool and has a nice side no one knows about..." You quickly rambled and got quieter.

She jumped up in the air. "I KNEW IT I TOTALLY KNEW IT!" Without any warning her next action scared you. "HEY WHEELJACK COME HERE!"

.........(Jackie's POV)..........

I spotted the lobbing ball in the corner and it made me realize it's been awhile since I last lobbed with old bulk.

I set (name) down and bulk took the idea as I picked up the ball of scraps. As we lobbed I noticed bulk seemed to have something on his processor.

"What'cha thinking about bulk. It's not like you to think so hard."

Bulk gave me a look. And caught the ball that I lobbed at him. "Well I was thinking, what would happen if a cybertronian fell in love with a human." Bulkhead tried to skirt around the question.

I stayed quiet as he caught the ball. "Well," I finally spoke, "I don't know."

I didn't lob the ball back, but just stood and stared at it. I was snapped out of his own thoughts when I heard miko yelling, and looked up to see you looking awfully embarrassed and leaning away from the smirking girl.

Miko then turned to look at me and waved "HEY WHEELJACK COME HERE!"

Curious to see what was going on I walked over to the two girls.

..........(Normal POV)..........

You looked like you were about to make a break for it, frantically looking for a way to escape.

When wheeljack got to the catwalk miko didn't hesitate.

"So do you like (name) or something." She asked confidently.

Wheeljack turned to bulkhead. "So that's what that question was all about?" Bulkhead looked away.

He turned to look at you.

You wanted to die. Just melt into a puddle and glide away.

Other bots turned to see the commotion miko made and heard the whole thing.

You stood there hiding your face in the lights wrapped around your arms and wheeljack gave a stunned look.

"Come on, I just want to know how you feel about her." Miko coaxed.

Bulkhead came up to miko, feeling uneasy himself. "Easy Miko, Jackie is not the type of bot to share emotions and feelings." Bulkhead warned the Japanese girl.

"But (name) has the right to know!" She protested and stamped her foot.

Wheeljack didn't look angry or annoyed, even though he was put on the spot for an awkward situation in front of everyone.

"You know, you're right." Was all wheeljack said before he scooped you up and briskly walked out of the base with you in hand.

It wasn't until you two reached the jackhammer he spoke again.

He sat down in the pilot seat and sat you in his lap.

"Miko is right." He grumbled.

"Right about what?" You questioned.

Wheeljack pushed out a heavy vent.

"I got to be honest with you." Wheeljack said rather gruffly.

"Bulk asked if what would happen if a cybertronian fell in love with an organic. It would be unnatural and strange to be honest."

You flinched at his words.

"But I've never really been the one to follow protocol." He said with a smile as he looked down at you.

"I may not be around much, but from the time we have been around each other I know who you are." He leaned down and reached a servo and tapped your chest lightly. "You're a true wrecker at heart. You're not afraid to get your hands dirty and from what I can gather, you're one feisty fighter."

You blushed at the compliment and looked away. "Thankyou."

"Like me, you don't like to follow protocol and don't like being under authority. You're brave." He told you while lightly tapping your chest.

You puffed up with pride. A big smile on your face. Mirroring his own.

"You are my wrecking girl." He gave one final nudge and brought you optic level to him. "You are MY wrecking babe, and don't forget it."

Joy and excitement filled your body as you leapt and hugged him.

"And you are my wrecker! Now don't YOU ever forget that!" You smirked.

Jackie laughed and put a servo over his spark. "I won't."

He then got up out of the seat. "How we tell old doc that you are off his hands now?"

You smiled. "I bet he'll be happy about that." You joked.

"I don't know, maybe he likes babysitting duty." Jackie teased. You both looked at each other for a moment before you both started to laugh.

You both reappeared and all eyes were on you.

"Hey doc, how about I make a deal for you." Wheeljack called out. Ratchet didn't turn around. "For the last time DO NOT CALL ME DOC."

"I want to be (names) guardian." Wheeljack told ratchet.

Ratchet looked over his shoulder with surprise.

"You're sure about this wheeljack." Ratchets asked in a quiet and serious tone.

Wheeljack stared back in full seriousness. "I'm sure."

"Wheeljack, I don't think you should, I mean you're so irresponsible." Ratchet began before Optimus put a hand on his shoulder. "I think that we should give wheeljack a chance to prove himself old friend." Ratchet couldn't object Optimus and sighed. "Fine, wheeljack. I will I trust (name) to you."

Miko cheered and bulkhead immediately congratulated his friend. "Way to go Jackie!"

"Yes!" You jumped up and hugged wheeljack.

"Looks like your mine now kiddo."

"Ah-wait!" Ratchet interrupted. "One slip up and (name) will return to me." Ratchet warned you and wheeljack.

You looked up at Jackie and cheered. While ratchet gave a small smile but felt a pang if sadness in his spark.

He would no longer be your guardian, but now atleast you could be happy.

Jackie placed you down with miko and in celebration miko started to play her guitar. You, raf and jack danced to the music and bee joined.

Miko then winked at you and played on of your favorite songs. Jackie tapped his foot to the beat as he watched you dance. You danced and sang with miko, everyone partying throughout the night till ratchet ordered recarge for everyone.

Jackie left with you in hand and walked back to the hidden jackhammer. He sat down on his berth and looked at you. "Say kiddo, do you have your own berth back in the base or your own house or somethin"

You laughed at his question. "No I live at the base and by the way, what us humans sleep on is called a bed, and yes it is in the base. But I think I'll be fine here with you tonight. Only if you want me to be with you that is."

Wheeljack gave you a smile. "I think I'll keep you here tonight, if you're really up for it. I don't think it'll hurt."

"Yes!" You fistpumped excitedly and wheeljack watched you with amusement. This will be interesting.

Wheeljack sat on his berth and set you down next to him. He felt awkward. He hate showing weakness to anyone. And in his processor, recharge was a period of weakness, being unconscious made you an easier target. It was only you, but wheeljack still felt a little embarrassed.

You rubbed your eyes sleepily. And gave wheeljack a tired smile.

He picked up your frame with caution and laid down on the berth, placing you next to his shoulder plates.

Almost instantly after he placed you down and adjusted to get comfortable you climbed into his servo, carefully made your way up his arm and carefully crawled to the middle of his chest plates.

Wheeljack sighed. "Guess there's no helping it." He mumbled as he nudged your now sleeping frame, and let himself fall into recharge.

It was the start of a new beginning.

.........-(extended ending)-..........

Wheeljack's optics onlined and awoke from recharge in confusion.

He put a servo to the center of his chest plate. Noticing you weren't there. "Must've been a dream" he mumbled to himself, a hint of sadness laced in his voice. Until when he tried to get up he felt a little weight on one of his audio receptors.

He reached a servo to inspect the area to find your little, sleeping frame resting slightly on his audio receptor.

You stirred at his touch. "Morning sunshine." He teased as you groggily woke up and stretched. A second later you jumped as if you were startled, upon realizing the situation.

"Wheeljack, are we actually...? You started to ask as you turned and looked into his optics. "Yup, you're my charge now."

You couldn't hide the smile as it spread across your face and lept on him, pressing your cheek against his faceplates and placed your arms on his neck in an attempt of a hug.

He let out a quiet chuckle and patted your back. "Yeah love you too kiddo."

Wheeljack held you and started to get up. "So, what do you want to do now."

You looked up at wheeljack with excitement. "Well, first I want to freshen up a bit at the base and then let's go out driving! And then.... Maybe a ride in the jackhammer?"

Wheeljack gave you a thumbs up. "No problem."

~(short time skip)~

As he placed you down near your own room in the base he watched you run inside to start to get ready. He felt something in his spark he never really felt before. Fondness? He wasn't sure exactly what it was but it made him happy. And he would soon enough figure out what it was.
