Just An Android || Detroit: Become Human • Connor •

I followed Vanilla to Connor, and started to smell something good. Me and Vanilla slowly approached the kitchen as we both peeked from behind the wall. His back was turned, and he was grabbing things and adding them in a pot, like he was cooking something. I looked down at Vanilla and she looked up at me, both looking back at Connor. 

"Connor?" I called out. 

"Please sit down, Aaron." He said while his back was still turned. 

I sat down, not knowing what was going on while Vanilla tried to jump up on the tall chair, whining for help. I picked her up and placed her on the seat and she sat on her bottom, eyes also on Connor. It smells really good... I thought while resting my chin on my palm. After a few minutes, Connor turned to me with 2 bowls and walked our way. He served me a bowl of soup with noodles. It had beef floating on the top and it smelt and looked delicious. 

"I tried to make use of what I found in the fridge and cupboards." He said while also serving another bowl to Vanilla. 

"I also made something for Vanilla. Hope she likes it." Then he leant I'm the table, watching us.

 Vanilla started eating and she kept stuffing her face. I guess she likes it... I picked up the spoon that was in the bowl and grabbed some soup. I blew on it to make it cooler and carefully sipped it, trying not to burn my lips or tongue. The liquid ran in my mouth and I tasted it. I looked up back and Connor with a surprised look. 

"Wow! This is amazing!" I kept taking spoonfuls of soup into my mouth before taking the chopsticks and stuffing my mouth full of noodles. 

I couldn't finish it, but Connor wouldn't let me leave without me finishing it. 

"I'm full." I was about to leave the table, but Connor stopped me. 

"Aaron, if you don't finish it, I'll feed you." He said while standing straight from his leaning position. 

"Noooo!" I tried to get away but he grabbed my hand in time and pulled me towards him. 

He dragged me back to my seat and sat me down while sitting down next to me. He grabbed the spoon with soup and lifted it to my mouth. 

I pouted and sighed as I crossed my arms. I gave up and just let him feed me the rest. There goes my heart again... It was beating loudly that Connor could probably hear it. I hoped he couldn't.... Vanilla already left my side and I was stuck with Connor alone. After I was finally done eating, I took the bowl to the sink and was about to wash it, but Connor stopped me again. 

"I'll do it." He took the bowl from my hands and started to wash. 

"Ok..." I left the kitchen and headed up to my room. 

I quickly took a shower and did my night routine. My eyelids started to get heavier, and heavier as I tried to get ready for bed. I was done drying my hair, and I wrapped my body in a towel. As I walked out, my eyes were squinted, trying hard not to fall asleep on the spot. 

My undergarments were already on and I looked for a crop shirt and comfortable shorts. I dropped the towel and closed my eyes while putting on the crop shirt. I opened my eyes a little and saw a figure before shutting my eyes again. Once I realized someone was there, I quickly opened my eyes to see Connor with a slight shocked expression, not moving an inch while his cheeks started to a light blue. Is he...blushing..? I shook my head from the thought and quickly put my shorts on. My face was starting to heat up and I looked the other direction for it not to be noticed.

"E-ever heard of kn-knocking?" I stuttered. 

"Your door was wide open....." He still had his shocked expression while pointing to the door. 

I didn't know what to do, so I just ran to the bathroom and shut the door. 

I screamed in my head, thinking about what just happened. I tried to calm myself down by taking deep breaths and walking around a little. 

"Just act like nothing happened....."

I walked in with a cup of french vanilla coffee since I didn't eat anything this morning. Connor tried to force me to eat but I somehow got out of it. I don't usually drink coffee, but the french vanilla was an acception. I had another cup in my other hand as I walked in with Connor by my side. I was greeted by the receptionist and Connor swiped his card since my hands were full. We walked to the desks to find Hank but he wasn't here yet. I placed the coffee that was full on his desk and grabbed a sticky note to write on. I placed the written sticky note onto the cup, and looked at it.

I nodded to myself and started walking to my private desk with Connor. 

"That was kind of you." Connor started as we both walked. 

I looked at him and gave him a small smile. We arrived at my room and I placed my hand on the scanner for recognition. The door opened and I held it for Connor. He walked inside and headed straight for the computer. I shut the door and walked to my computer, sat in my chair, and unlocked the screen with my card. I started to work, and I guess Connor was too. He suddenly interrupted the silence by asking me questions. 

"Do you listen to BTS?" He asked. I looked at him with a Surprised expression. 

"Yes...yes I do.." I replied. 

"I really like their music..." He said while I heard him typing. 

It got quiet for five seconds before he asked another question. 

"How did you meet Lieutenant Anderson?" He asked me. 

"We were assigned as partners. Since we were both the best cops in Detroit, we had to work together and I've gotta say, when we started off, you have no idea how much we hated each other. Then I've realized how much of a family he was to me, and I've guess he's realized it too. He's the only one I've got." I finished while looking down from my screen. 

From the corner of my eyes, I could see him turn his head to stare at me before looking back to his screen. 

"May I ask you a personal question?" He asked and I turned to look at him. I nodded and he also turned to face me. 

"You're so young to be a cop...Why did you want to become one and when did you start?" He asked.

"Its a long story...I'll...tell you when I'm ready..."
