Fandom: Detroit Become Human
By: @pusantheamazonian not beta’d
It’s been five days since were arrested and you have not contacted Connor at all. He also has not tried to contact you. Not that you have been counting the days. You don't know whether to feel embarrassed or angry that he hasn't said anything about your behavior, and that is why he can no longer pursue a relationship with you. But it was nice while it lasted.
“Andrew make sure the grease trap is empty.” You wipe off the outside bar.
Speak of the devil. “Connor? What are you doing here?” Startled, he’s standing a few feet away dressed like he’s homeless.
“I came to check on you and Andrew.” Connor remains calm and monotone.
“Well I'm doing okay. Andrew’s inside if you wanna talk to him.” You point to the door.
“Thank you.” Connor nods and walks around to the side. “Hello Andrew.”
“Oh hello Detective Connor. What can I do for you?” Andrew sets the dishes down to face Connor.
“I’m not a detective, I work as an advisor for the DPD on human-android relations and assist Lutueinate Anderson.”
“Oh well…” Confused Andrew pauses trying to figure out what to say.
“You can just call me Connor. I came to check on how you are adjusting after the incident.”
“I’m doing...okay. Y/N explained that some people would not understand and would cause problems. But I never thought that it would happen to me.... It was an experience to learn from once i got over the shock.”
“Very insightful Andrew.”
“Yes Y/N has been very helpful adjusting in my deviancy.” Andrew smiles with his response.
“How did you become defiant?”
“I don't really know. Y/N says I was attacked by the feels one day.”
“The feels?” Connor asks specifically. No one has yet used words like that.
“Feelings. One of our regulars was an elderly lady, from Rhode Island. It was just the kindness she showed me and the overbearing sadness I felt when she passed.”
“I see how that would active deviancy.” With a slight nod Connor agrees. Feelings such as that would activate deviancy.
“Have you talked to Y/N?”
“I asked her how she doing before coming in here. Why?” Connor is surprised at this question.
“You were the one she went on a date with right?” Andrew asks as if he knows the answer already.
“She said there was an impromptu date with an android. She likes him enough to carry on the relationship but doesn't know how to address it because he works with Gavin. And Gavin is well Gavin.”
“Detective Reed hates you?”
“I don't think so, I know he tolerates me. We haven't reached that level of friendship. But Y/N said she would beat him up if he doesn't treat me like a decent human being.” Andrew shrugs.
“She threatened him into behaving?”
“Yes, but you didn't hear it from me.”
“Thank you Andrew for your time. It was a pleasure speaking with you.”
“Likewise.” Andrew nods while returning to work.
Connor smiles and exits. Rounding the corner he is surprised to hear you singing.
Singing you finish closing up outside. “Naneun seuwiseue geonneo gassda. Modeun Yodellersgaissneun gos yodeul-ege baeulyeogohagi. Nae yodel-oh-ee-deewa hamkke naneun keun nop-eun san-eul ollassda.

Diddly-odel-oh-ee-dee Diddly-odel-oh-ee-dee.”
“You speak Korean?” Connor asks loudly.
“What? No, I barely speak English.” Jumping from his sudden appearance, you quickly process his question.
“Was from a movie I like, it’s in Korean.” Interrupting you clarify yourself.
“I'm a cyborg but that's Ok.” You’re a little embarrassed to say it because Connor is an android.
“The movie is called, I'm a Cyborg but that's Ok. A young woman believes she's a cyborg, is hospitalized in a mental institution where she eats nothing and talks to inanimate objects. She comes to the attention of a ping-pong playing patient who steals other people souls, makes it his goal to get her to eat.”
“Oh, that explains a few things.” Connor makes a face that seems like the light bulb has gone off.
“Explains what?” That comment made you slightly angry. Sounding as if he came to the conclusion you are crazy.
“Nothing, you have an interesting menu.” Realizing his mistake Connor points at the menu board.
“.... Thanks. Everyone has to bring their own creativity to this business.”
“You have vegetarian options.”
“Um yeah many of my neighbors are vegans. I've learned that even if you're not vegan many people prefer to have the option.”
“Very considerate.”
“I guess, but it's more like knowing your target consumer.”
“Do you need something? Or are you just killing time?” Crossing your arms you address the issue head on.
“I do have a question for you.”
“Oh.. when would you like to go out on another date?”
“What? You want to go out again?” You’re floored by the question.
“Yes. Was that not the general consensus?”
“I-I thought that after me being arrested you wouldn't want to be associated with a possible felon.”
“No. I admit it was confusing and concerning how the day's events went. But I find your company… enjoyable.” Connor’s blush returns, turning his ears a deep blue.
“Okay... well do you wanna help me tamper with Gavin's desk tonight. So that it's all set for tomorrow?”
“Are you sure you're not trying to lead me down a criminal path?”
“Good, well why don't I meet you outside the police station in an hour?”
“I will be waiting.” Connor smiles.
That he did. It took some convincing before Connor actually helped with the tampering but he got you inside easily and was the look out. Then that was it, you didn't hear from him until late afternoon when he sent you a video. Watching the video you almost peed yourself. Connor had recorded Gavin opening his desk for you. Unaware Gavin just casually opened his drawer and the confetti shooted out causing him to spill his coffee. Then Gavin's angry texts made it the best day ever!
Y/N: Happy Birthday!!!!!! 😆
Angry Homo: I hate you. You're never allowed at my desk again.
Y/N: You loved it don't deny it!
“Y/N! Y/N! Open up!” The words are slurred as you approach the door.
“Good damn it Gavin! Your drunk.” Moving to the side he stumbles past you slumping on the couch. “What the hell are you doing her? It's 2AM. You should be sleeping, you have work.”
“Gavin we are not doing this again. You can't quit your job because you're resentful.”
“Yeah yeah move over you can't take up the whole couch.” You shove his legs off the couch, sitting on the arm rest.
“Why are you drunk on my couch this time?”
“You fucking the tin can or what?” He shouts loud enough to wake the neighbors.
“Gavin! That's none of your business but no we are not. We are not dating either, we've only been on two dates.”
“Shocker… seeing that my own sis is conspiring against me.”
“Oh my god. Stop being an angry closet homo. Connor is not Geoff nor that sex android.”
“Still programmable... for evil… all should….die.” The slurring becomes worse.
“This is bullshit. We both know it. You're my brother, I know you. You're a submissive tsundere who loves animals and never forgets a birthday. This projected persona of assholeness. Is really annoying. So what is really going on?”
No response just angry grumbles, annoyed you go to bed. Slamming the door shut.
“They're getting married.” The whisper fades into the cushion.
Making a cup of coffee you sit at the table and sort yesterday's mail. A certain envelope peaks your interest and name of the sender is what concerns you.
You storm past Connor and Hank, aiming directly for Gavin.
“Mutherfucker!” You slam the envelope down.
Gavin jumps. “What the hell?”
“This is why you've been extra bitchy? They sent you an invitation.” You glare at him.
“They sent me one too.” Gavin looks off to the side indicating a yes. “Fuck it. I'm going to kill him.” Gavin bolts up dragging you out the back door. Opting for privacy.
Connor walks to Gavin’s desk to see what has started this fight. “Connor I wouldn't do that.” Hank calls.
“I'm only collecting data.” Connor picks up the opened envelope. “It's a wedding invitation from Geoffrey Sprouse and Adam. There's no other last name.”
“Connor, l would leave it alone. Gavin will shoot you.”
“Why? If wedding invitations are being sent, then this public knowledge.” Connor returns to his desk.
“Fuck.Why me?” Hank sighs. “Connor did you listen to anything Y/N just said?”
“Mutherfucker. Gavin's being extra bitchy because of the wedding invitation. Y/N is going to kill him.” Connor recites everything back.
“You're supposed to be an RK800 prototype. How is none of this connecting?” Silence from Connor. Hank looks around quickly before leaning closer. “Don't tell anyone and you did not hear it from me. Geoffrey from the invitation is Gavin's ex boyfriend. Y/N dubs Gavin as a angry closet homo. We just called it gay rage.”
Connor's LED light is spinning back and forth between hello and red.
“Yes...just processing.” Connor nods slowly.
Outside Gavin lights a cigarette. “Fine. Yes they sent me a wedding invitation a week ago. That's why I've been bitchy!”
“They are not worth it. Well Geoff needs a good beating.” Aggravated you rub your forehead angrily.
“He needs to suffer and die.”
“He's not the only one who needs to go….” Shrugging you agree but that’s not topic right now.
“What?” Gavin stares questionly at you.
“You wanna crash it?” Smirking you glance back at him. Gavin just lets out an annoyed sigh. “Well?”
