@intechsâ asked for a human starter au.
   androids were a struggle to work alongside. the HK-900 unit was not an exception to this in the slightest. heâs no connor-- niles is sure of that. his older brother is deemed some golden child for the DPD while niles is happily in the overcasted shadow- ironic since heâs taller, but heâs okay with that. niles isnât very much into attention.Â
    looking over at herc, who had come outside most likely looking for him, he stared up at the night time sky and took in a deep breath. â sorta needed to relax a bit. gets claustrophobic to breathe all the air from people praising connor for doing the most minimal stuff. â at one point of their careers, when they were both younger, niles had admitted that he and connor had a bit of a friendly competition going. who could be the best. but eventually it just got exhausting when connor wasnât in the limelight. when niles won these childish competitions. heâd been the better detective. he was easier to grasp things from cases, but eventually it just got tiring.Â
      â guess youâre lucky that you donât get to feel human emotions, huh? â he asked, laughing a bit. he was never usually down and never truly showed this much to anyone, but herc had come at the wrong time.
