After months of planning, Caleb had decided on a gift for the unreasonable and mildly aggressive human. There was no huge party, no balloons, nothing to embarrass the man.

Just a box of fresh donuts, all the favourites, still warm, and a single, neatly wrapped gift. A joke mug for Gavin's coffee that read; 'I'm cutting back to just one coffee per day'.

The coffee mug was overly large, holding a shocking 86oz of liquid. Caleb thought it to be rather amusing.

As an afterthought, he had also booked a table at that Thai place Tina had told him Gavin was obsessed with, but couldn't afford to go to often.

“You look exhausted today.” RK900 noted, walking up to Gavin’s desk, eyes blankly running up and down his figure before coming to a rest on his face, noticing the bags under his eyes and the unhappy sneer his mouth was pulled into.

▌ ▲▐ ─────                    Connor’s reaction to Reed’s harsh words was indifferent, barely an expression reaching his face. Only a mild hint of displeasure at the name calling, though far more than an insult it conveyed the android’s worry over the other. Sure, the detective was a true blue asshole whose reputation preceeded him and he took every opportunity to make Connor’s life miserable since he’d going the force - Hell, he’d pointed a gun at Connor more than once in his anger - but that didn’t mean the android was about to let him suffer himself. Not when it was self-imposed, that is.Connor wasn’t above karate-chopping him into unconsciousness again should the need arise, but that wasn’t important now.

                   He stood beside the man’s desk, watching him close despite the safe distance of a few feet he kept. Out of Reed’s immediate range of motion, just in case. “You appear to be experiencing an anxiety attack,” Connor stated without any tact as usual. Pleasant voice or otherwise, his analysis was always a little too on the nose. Whoever built this idiot needed to tweak his social programming a bit more. But then Connor moved just a little closer, slow steps inching forward as his upper body bent, tilted to the side a little in an attempt to meet Reed’s eyes. Hands on his knees he leaned down a bit, tried to appear less like a looming figure and more like a friend.

{ ♔ } Gavin Reed could not help but to scoff at the android. Not a moment of break could he give him, he always had to be around and ruin everything with his stupid face and questions. “I am here because I decided to go to work earlier because I couldn’t fucking sleep. It is enough now with your stupid questions. I did not show up for the bonus round.”

Connor blinked, albeit innocently at him, placing a piece of paper onto a scanner as he watched Reed.

“Why couldn’t you sleep?” He asked slowly, the only sound being the printer trying its very best to scan things. 2039 and they still couldn’t invent a scanner or printer that was silent and worked every time.

// -is 25 too so yay, but look 12 when shaving-

He couldn't help but smile faintly at the other's comment.
