"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way."

Gavin couldn’t hold back a chuckles. Since their drinking marriage took place, and in the end they both gave up on their divorce. They just lived on good terms, married but living more as a couple of convenience. He never really thought they could really be one. Of course, over time, he got so used and comfortable with Toran’s presence. That he just assumed it naturally. However, they still hadn’t cleared anything up. Well, Reed didn’t say anything or confess. And Toran didn’t make it clear either. So Gavin just got carried away by the lack of communication between them. But realizing that Toran was having a jealous tantrum about him with a new co-worker, it intrigued him. 

“Oh no? Really? Because I almost thought you were going to punch my new partner back there! Look, he’s been flirting with me for fun. It’s his personality. I never gave it a chance anyway. He doesn’t even my type. I just like him as a friend. After Nines, it’s been a while since I found someone to be a good working partner.” Despite everything, Gavin didn’t want Toran to get it wrong or to have any confusion between them. The detective was already too tired and too old for this sort of thing.

“I have been called that before,” Connor huffs, “though I consider it extremely unlucky to be in this situation in the first place.” And now Toran was in the middle of it. How did he even know to look for him? Connor hasn’t had access to any sort of news. He doesn’t even know where he is or how long he’s been down here. Right now, thinking is hard, being so low on thirium and whatever else they’ve done to him in his time being in this hell hole.

Connor nods, speaking quietly, “Thank you.” He held onto Toran tightly, almost as if he were afraid of being dropped, left here to await his demise. That was not something he could risk, nor could he risk Toran being captured as well. For him to go through what he’s been dealing with, just for helping him.

“Yeah, you should work on that. Humans seem to be getting the drop on you a lot lately.” He didn’t mind the tight grip. So long as Connor wasn’t shifting too much or making any noise. The weight of his body was easy enough for him to deal with. He could still fire his weapon also. Toran was in combat mode, which he absolutely loved. The thrill of a mission. The thrill of an objective. He missed those days. 

“he / she wasn’t flirting with me, calm down.”

“they’re just a friend, i swear.”

“you’re being really irrational about all this.”

“you can’t tell me what to do.”

“you can’t tell me who i can and can’t hang out with.”

“there’s no reason for you to be jealous.”

“who cares if they were flirting with me? it doesn’t mean anything.”

“stop treating me like a piece of property.”

“i wasn’t flirting, i was being friendly.”

“i don’t belong to you.”

“calm down. i’m yours, nothing’s gonna change that.”

“are you seriously jealous right now?”

“why does it matter who i was with?”

“i only have eyes for you, you know that.”

“you have nothing to worry about.”

“you need to stop being so controlling.”

“you have no reason to be jealous!”

Connor was dubious on if he should just let it go, but decided he really didn’t have the energy or was in the position to be drilling Toran for answers right now. He thought he was a goner for sure. With his arms finally free, the RK rubbed at his wrists, the synthetic skin peeled away and the plastimetal rubbed raw from the force of his attempts to escape.

With what strength he could muster, he wrapped his arms around Toran’s shoulders so he could still aim. This was probably against regulation at the station, but that is the last of his worries right now.

“F-for now,” Connor grinds out, lifting his broken leg to elevate it, “They clipped the wires to stem the flow.” He was lucky they didn’t drain him all at once, but the RK believes they intended to use him as some kind of collateral.

“You are one lucky android, you know that?” Or unlucky depending on how one looked at it. Toran really expected him to be dead, with his thirium completely drained to make more product. Why they thought it was a good idea to keep the android alive was beyond him. Personally, Toran would have killed him, but Toran wasn’t a low life drug dealer so what he thought didn’t matter

“Hold on tight and be quiet. Not sure if any more are still here. I can’t really sneak too well with you around my neck so we might just have to go loud on our way out.” Meaning Toran was just gonna gun down any unfortunate soul that dared crossed his path.

“You’re dripping blood on the carpet.” “When I said scars are kinda sexy, I didn’t mean you should get one right away…” “Press that against the wound, I’m going to get the med kit.” “It’s bleeding quite badly.” “Oh God, what happened to you?!” “You’re covered in blood! Is it yours?” “Your head looks pretty bad. I’m sure it’ll need stitches.” “It’s going to hurt for a moment, but I’ll need to clean the wound.” “I’m so sorry this happened to you. But you’re safe now.” “That’s a pretty nasty bruise. Want some ice?” “Does it still hurt?” “I don’t think a band aid is gonna fix this…” “Whoa, hey, stay with me! You’re as white as a ghost. Don’t pass out.” “Damn, that must hurt. I’m sure there are some painkillers around here.” “You have to be seen by a doctor. This isn’t going to heal on its own.” “It looks broken. Can you move it at all?” “Here, lean on me. I’ll support you.” “I’m not going to leave you behind. If need be, I’ll carry you.” “I’m going to pick you up now, okay? Just hold on to me.” “Everything is going to be okay. Just hang in there.”
