I liked the dynamic between Optimus and Cade. Optimus had been through a lot during the last years; fights, his friends died, difficult decisions and he and his Autobots was hunted and slaughtered. Optimus was alone and afraid (just think of the barn scene). He was f*cking afraid. In my opinion Cade is balm for his Spark, someone with whom he can talk and he trusts unconditionally at the end.
