Warnings: None that I know of
Before Dating:
Connor at first doesn’t understand his own feelings towards you. He classifies it as admiration with a small acknowledgement of your conventional attractiveness.
One time he’d ask Hank if you were considering attractive in societal standards and Hank would start laughing at the absurd question.
“Lieutenant Handerson….i have a peculiar question to ask.”
Connor asked Hank as they were in their desks looking at deviant files.
“What is it now?”
Hank responded with an annoyed tone in his voice, not looking up from his computer screen.
It took Connor a second to put the correct words together to ask him.
“Are they considered someone who’s conventionally attractive?”
Connor signaled over to you as he spoke his question out loud to Hank.
Hank finally looked up from his computer to look at who Connor was referring to. When he saw it was you he was talking about he froze for a second. Finding it completely off that Connor would ask about that especially about you.
That’s when he realized that Connor found you attractive because of the way Connor kept glancing back at you.
That’s makes him bust out laughing his fist hitting his desk with his other hand going to his forehead.
Hank’s reaction confused Connor. Was there something wrong with that he asked?
“Why in the world would you ask me something like that? Conventional attraction is different for everyone. What I find attractive is not the same as everyone in the world so if you think they’re attractive then that’s what you believe.”
Hank finally said after calming down from his laughing.
“I- I’m not sure Lieutenant…I was curious is all.”
Connor said his blue led light turning yellow as he processed this conversation. Hank’s laughing made him feel somewhat embarrassed especially since you looked over at them because of it.
Now because of this conversation Hank was painfully aware of Connor’s developing feelings for you…
Anytime you’d talk to Connor he’d always look a bit confused not because of you but the feelings he was getting from it.
If you were in any investigation together he’d always stay close by to protect you if needed though you can handle yourself just fine. This ends up becoming less of him saving you and you keeping both of you from getting hurt since Connor would rather be the one injured instead of you.
When you guys are talking and you bring up something about yourself he’ll keep it in mind just in case. Like you’re favorite food, coffee order, the name of your pet and what type of animal it is (if you have one).
One night when Hank went home early and you stayed in later with Connor keeping you company you two end up talking about his early conversations with you leading to your first instance of flirting.
“Connor, be honest with me. Why did you act so stiff around me at first?”
You asked him as you stood outside of the police station waiting for the rain to settle down a bit.
“I’m not quite sure myself.”
Connor responded but when he looked back at you, your expression clearly showed him that wasn’t a good enough answer.
Chuckling at your expression, Connor thought for a bit more before answering again.
“I didn’t understand what I was…”feeling” when I talked to you. It felt different than the admiration I have towards Hank. But I think that was just because of your attractiveness.”
His real answer shocked you. Attractiveness? The android in front of you thought you were good looking??? That was something you’d never expect to happen to you.
“You find me attractive?”
You asked him again still finding this unbelievable.
Because you asked again Connor looked back at you blinking slightly as he figured out what you were feeling by your expression.
“Yes, I think you’re pretty.”
Now you couldn’t contain your flustered expression.
Analyzing your expression Connor cleared his throat before speaking again.
“I apologize that must’ve been uncomfortable to hear from an android. I’ll refrain from telling you that again-“
You cut him off.
“I’m not uncomfortable by it, Connor. It just surprised me is all.”
Connor smiled slightly at you saying you didn’t find it uncomfortable. It made him feel…relieved?
“I guess I’ll have to tell it to you until you aren’t surprised by it.”
He said as an attempt to tease you.
You raise your eyebrow at him before lightly hitting his shoulder.
“Oh shut up…don’t you even try to start teasing me or I’ll do the same to you”
Challenging him to this the both of you laugh a bit before you two just looked at each other for a bit.
The silence wasn’t uncomfortable. It was…nice for the both of you. Even though you were looking at each other neither of you decided to look away until you suddenly felt water splashing your way which Connor quickly pulled you towards him to not get hit by the water flying everywhere from a car driving by. Making you fall against his chest as he had the after splash on him instead.
“Connor! You’re soaked now!”
You quickly say feeling his back completely wet from the water.
“I’ll be alright. It would’ve been worse if you had gotten wet. You could’ve caught a cold from it.”
Connor let go of you as he straightened back up. The two of you were so close now it made your heart skip a beat. Even Connor felt something similar to that in his android body. He’s never felt something like that before.
“I- I should probably head home-“
You mutter out as you back up from him to break the moment.
“Yes, you probably should. I don’t think the rain will let up anytime soon.”
He nodded to you before her took his wet jacket off to help you use it to cover the both of you in the rain. Even the back of his shirt was wet clinging to his skin you could see the few freckles on his back. The sight made you look away to not feel like a creep thirsting over an android.
“Here, I’ll bring you to your car”
Connor said as he got close to you once more holding the jacket over the two of you as you start to run to your car.
He kindly opened the car door for you as you quickly got inside.
“I’ll see you tomorrow”
Connor said giving you a smile, making your heart skip a beat once more.
“Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow Connor”
You responded back with a small wave and a smile before you see him run back to the police station as he waited for the CyberLife car to come pick him up.
After this interactions your dynamic slowly started to change. You both became comfortable with each other. You felt like you could tell Connor anything (except what you were starting to feel towards him).
You became the person he went to when he was curious about emotions as he slowly started to realize that he was feeling strange emotions towards you.
He became extra attentive towards you. Starting to bring stuff to you before you even thought about wanting them. Like food or a drink. He’ll walk home with you if you didn’t have your car with you.
Connor will start finding himself being near you whenever he can. He just feels drawn to you but he will never actually touch you if it isn’t to protect you.
Now if you initiate touch he won’t pull away. He will usually keep a straight face even if it makes him feel a bit flustered.
Connor comes to you for wanting more knowledge on emotions especially when he’s feeling that emotion. It’s not that he can’t tell what it is on another person. He can see the physical signs triggered by those emotions but when he’s feeling them himself he finds it harder to fully comprehend it. So he’ll ask you or Hank about it.
After turning deviant, Connor will finally accept the feelings he has for you even though he still doesn’t understand them fully. All he knows is that he doesn’t feel like this with anyone else he knows.
Before Connor would talk to you about what he was feeling he’d ask Hank about it. And Hank would plainly tell him that he was in love.
Connor would bring his feelings up to you after asking Hank because he wants to make sure that’s what they really mean since sometimes he can’t tell if Hank is joking or not.
It would be just the two of you (at the place where Hank drew his gun at Connor). You had just finished your shift and decided to go look at the view on a whim with him. The two of you stood at the railing looking out into the water before Connor decided to bring up what’s been happening to him.
“Hey, I’d like to bring up a topic for conversation but I am unsure if you’d find it uncomfortable.”
Connor says to you, glancing back at you. He started to feel his artificial heart beat quicken slightly from his nervousness.
“Connor, I already told you before. You can ask me any question and I’ll answer it honestly.”
You spoke back turning your head to fully look at him.
“Okay…well you know who I acted a bit odd at first when I met you? Back then I didn’t understand that I have feelings that humans feel but now that I do…I still don’t get why I acted like that. When I would look at you, I would start feeling the skin of my cheeks heating up, my hands would get sweaty, and my heart would start beating faster. I still get these feelings. Now, every time I think you’re in danger my heart drops, just looking at your beauty makes me lose my composure. I thought it was just admiration…I am unsure if it is just that anymore. There’s just so many new feelings I am experiencing that I am not sure how to understand them. I asked Hank what it this emotion could be and he said love but I do not know if he was being serious about that.”
You listened to him patiently, knowing Connor was getting used to his new emotions. Then when you processed that Hank said it was love it made you freeze for a second. Rethinking on how your dynamic has slowly been shifting to be more intimate and you had started to realize your feelings for him. But you didn’t expect anything back. He was still figuring things out, how could he feel something towards you?
“Hmm…so you’re asking me if what you’re feeling is love?”
You asked to be sure of what he was saying since you were still processing all of this.
“Yes, how do I know that what I feel towards you is love? And if it isn’t love then what could it be?”
Connor reiterated his question as he turned to face you. One hand gripping the railing as he stayed looking at you. He was starting to feel nervous…
“I mean people’s meaning of love can be different. It could be platonic love or romantic love. Have you thought about how it would be to be in a romantic relationship with me? That’s a way that you can figure that out.”
You responded feeling your heart beating out of your chest because you did feel something for him and you knew it was romantic. This is the moment that your feelings get rejected or reciprocated even if Connor didn’t know you felt this way.
Connor took a few seconds to think on it. Flashes of the two of you on dates, kissing, and cuddling going across his mind as he finds himself wanting that to happen. He liked the idea of kissing you and having an intimate connection with you…
He glanced down at your lips as he decided to tell you what he felt thinking of being in a relationship with you.
“I…I like the idea…I want to be in a relationship with you. My heart can’t stop beating so fast and when I look down at your lips I can’t help but feel compelled to press my own lips to yours.”
Connor admitted his own hand going over his own mouth as he thought about it.
You could see his cheeks turning pink just like your own at his confession.
“Me too…I’d like to go out on a date with you to see how it goes. But I do like you, Connor. I also catch myself staring at your lips to kiss them.”
The two of you gently laugh together at how you both wanted to kiss one another. It felt so surreal…
“I’d like to try kissing you or should we wait for our date to do that?”
Connor said moving closer to you his hand gently taking yours to hold.
“One kiss wouldn’t hurt…just a small peck”
You say back moving your free hand to his cheek as his own hand went to the back of your neck.
Both of you lean in meeting close enough before gently pressing your lips together holding it for a few seconds before pulling away but staying close together.
“That was…very nice. I like the feeling of your lips on mine.”
Connor said with a small smile. His hand gently tracing over your cheek before stopping at your chin his thumb brushing over your bottom lip.
“I agree it was a nice kiss.”
Your hand let go of his to wrap your arms around his neck before you heard Connor say
“Can we share another kiss?”
Dating:
After that confession the two of you started dating! But Connor needed some time to adjust to all this. So he asks to take it slow at first to adapt to this new relationship.
It’ll start with the first few dates, letting him get used to the romance and slight affection of holding hands and hugging. Then when he’s finally used to it he’ll ask you to be his partner.
He’s big on acts of service. He loves doing things for you! It becomes such a habit that he will always wait for a reward (a kiss) for his hard work.
Connor isn’t overly affectionate since he has a bit of a hard time finding when the time is right but when he is affectionate he’ll ask you if it’s okay first before hugging or kissing you.
He’ll research what each type of kiss means or what is the appropriate time for each one so he’ll know exactly when or what it means even if you don’t even know. If you ask him about it he’ll go on a detailed rant about what that kiss meant.
Connor enjoys holding you whenever he’s able to. If you’re watching a movie together on the couch his arms will be around you, you’re cooking? His arms are holding you from behind, you’re sleeping in the same bed? He has to hold you in some way. He likes the warm feeling of your skin!
He’s very weak to neck kisses. He’s not sure why but neck kisses to him are intimate because in his research it showed that neck kisses lead to sex. But for you two it doesn’t always happen so he’s just flustered when you do that.
Although he’s inexperienced, he learns very fast how to kiss and please you. In a romantic and sexual way.
His second love language is quality time because he just loves being around you all the time. Now that he’s finally able to live freely and enjoy things like anyone else does he decides to spend his time with you and doing new activities together.
If you have a big dog like Sumo, Connor will treat the dog like how he treats Sumo like a giant puppy but if you have a small dog or a different animal. He won’t know how to deal with them at first. But when you teach him how to pet and take care of the animal he will love them very much. To the point that the pet might start preferring him over you…
Favorite place for him to kiss you on (other than your lips) is your hand.
If you’re ever sick he’ll always make sure to take care of you best he can. He’ll start stressing out over the smallest chance of you getting sick like if you’re in the rain for like 2 seconds he will immediately get you out of the rain and warm you up.
I hope you guys like it and that it hopefully feels like Connor…
