It is not that easy for Connor to hide his feelings for you.
Pairing: Connor DBH x Reader
A/N: A little something I just came up with. It was supposed to go in an entirely different direction but I ended up writing this. Hope you enjoy this piece of fluff.
You jolted awake from your daydreams at Hankâs outbrust and quickly teared your eyes away from the good looking android and instead focused them on the viewfinder of your camera.
âAre you sure the victim was stabbed? Think again!â Hank continued and you couldnât help but grin behind your camera. It was your task to take photos of the crime scene but you currently chose an angle were you could watch your two co-workers and make it look like you were actually working.
Connor looked lost for a second before he shook his head ever so slightly to clear his thoughts - a gesture he picked up along the way of becoming a deviant. âI am sorry, Hank. You are right. The victim was clearly shot after he had opened the door for a visitor,â he corrected himself and looked at you for only a split-second.
âWhat is going on with you, kid?â Hank asked and put his hand on Connorâs shoulder reassuringly. âAll the glitches, freezes, miscalculations. Are you alright? Is this Amanda fantasy thing back? Should we get help somewhere? This has been going on for weeks now and it is not getting better.â It was heart warming how Hank cared about Connor and loved that he finally found his place in this world.
âI have run a diagnosis and everything is functioning the way it should be. I am,â he paused and stole another quick glance at you, âjust a bit distracted.â This time Hank noticed the movement of Connorâs eyes and groaned. âAnd I was actually worried,â he grumbled and shook his head before he walked away to talk to someone from forensic science.
You casually strolled over to him and took a quick shot of his profile with your camera. You would save it in a private folder later. But you loved the picture youâve just taken of him. âGotcha!â You chuckled and poked his shoulder. âWhy again do we keep us a secret? Because I am sure Hank got it now. You are not very subtle about this,â you said keeping your voice low. Connor re-adjusted his tie - a nervous gesture heâd adopted lately. âI cannot help it. Your presence - not only physically but also in my train of thoughts - is causing freezes and glitches in my system,â he muttered a bit frustrated about this.
âYou said, thatâs because you like me,â you whispered happily. âThat is correct. But you distract me from work,â he answered and looked at you for the first time since youâve started this conversation. You gave him a happy smile. âI know. Happens to me, too. Thatâs totally normal when you like someone,â you bit your lip nervously. âSee, I get flustered when you just look at me like that. Eventually these things will pass though and everything will become warm and familiar at some point. But I guess, right now we should just enjoy this phase and make the best out of it. Hank will survive if it takes a few seconds longer for you to answer his questions. As long as you are happy, he will probably excuse pretty much everything you do,â you said and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.
âDo me a favor and get your acts together,â both you and Connor jumped at the sudden intrusion of Hankâs voice. You were so focused on Connor that you didnât notice him walking back to the two of you and judging from Connorâs reaction, he had not noticed either.
Connor looked at Hank. âWhat do you mean?â He asked and gave him his innocent puppy dog look. âI mean that you should kiss her! Tell her how you feel. It is pretty obvious that you two are head over heels and I need my partner back!â He said grumpily and shoved his hands in the pockets of his jacket. You just chuckled at this and Connor grinned. âIt cannot have been that obviously since you yourself figured this out only 6 minutes and 23 seconds ago whereas y/n and I have been romantically involved for six days and 18 hours,â Connor explained and shrugged a bit. âI would suggest that you should pay closer attention to your surroundings, lieutant.â
âOh! Donât you sass me!â Hank laughed obviously happy that his android son started a new chapter of his life without Hankâs help. âYou will take Sumo on his walk tonight,â he added knowing that it was not a punishment for him since he loved walking Sumo and you knew that you would accompany him this night and many more to follow.
