This is just a little Thanksgiving drabble for Bee and Raf fluff. Enjoy and I want to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving.


When you're asked, 'What are you thankful for?' I bet many of you say, 'My family'. You love your family and would do anything in the world for them because they'd do the same back.

But, the one reason why Raf's family was not the thing he is most thankful for is because he gets ignored. He's small, often missed by people, which sometimes annoys him.

At the dinner table, he's always last to tell about his day, whether it's because his older brothers and sisters talked over him or he fails to catch anyone else's attention.

When he does get a chance to talk, he's be brushed off. He tried telling his father about his advanced placement competition he had won first place in once, but it turned to a celebration for his older brother, Lucas, who won his football game. He tried telling his mother about his new laptop he was saving up for, but it turned into a congratulations to his sister, Maria, who sang beautifully at her concert, or any other sibling of his and their accomplishments for that matter.

He tries to impress his father with his knowledge, his mother with his computer skills, his siblings with his racing skills, but its rare when they show appreciation for these traits.

To his father, he had to run, be active and play sports. His mother doesn't prefer something other another, but she doesn't show interest in a lot either. The only time she fully watches and listens to Raf is when he is in trouble, when she has to find out what was going on and why he was behaving poorly or had bad grades.

Some kids would get in trouble purposely just to gain attention, but not Raf. He would rather stay unnoticed then get in trouble. What convinced Raf that causing trouble wasn't worth it was when his two of is brothers, Lucas and Tomas, were playing baseball and broke a window. They asked Raf to take the blame for them and Raf wanting to be liked by his brothers, obliged and was spanked twice on his bottom.

Even though he was young, Raf still remembers how angry his father was and how much he can hurt, but he never said his brothers were the ones who really did it, for a fear possessed his mind that they would dislike him for being a 'tattle-tale'.

His parents could go days without hearing what he did at school that day, nights without kissing goodnight and moments without even caring.

But, there was someone who couldn't. Someone who couldn't go one second without thinking of the young boy.

He was always eager to listen to Raf's day at school.

He took him to the ice-cream parlor when he won something.

He never forgot to give Raf a kiss goodnight before he went home.

He never ignored the boy, never yelled or spanked him. He never made him feel like he was better than Raf.

But, most importantly, he never left him alone. Whenever Raf was in need of a little cheering up, Bee was always there for his best friend.

Bee loved his best friend's knowledge, his computer skills and especially his racing. Raf only needed to say, 'Let's race!' once before they were on their way.

Bumblebee couldn't live without Rafael, and Rafael couldn't live without Bumblebee. They were the perfect set of best friends and nothing could break the duo apart.

That's why Raf was grateful for Bee the most. Yes, in a way, he is technically included in family, but a different kind of family. Not the family of being related, but the family of caring.

Bee is the one family member that is always there and the one family member that never ignores him. Raf loves him and couldn't ask for anything more in their vauled friendship. Bee already gives Raf everything he could ever be thankful for.
