Not So Different | Connor x Gavin Reed | Detroit Become Human Story

Chapter 5: Bed Sharing, Old Texts

Gavin's thumb brushed over Connor's cheek as the rag in his other hand carefully wiped over the android's nose, clearing away the excess Thirium.

Connor's self-repair feature had played a huge part in the fix, Gavin was just there to make sure it wasn't crooked and wasn't covered in Thirium.

"You all good?" Gavin asked, finally wiping away the last mark of Thirium, his hand coming to rest on the around's cheek.

He nodded, "Yes. The pain should soon subside. Thank you." Connor turned his head to place a kiss to Gavin's palm. The Detective kept his hand there as his other hand threw the Thirium covered rag onto the coffee table. His now free hand came to rest on Connor's other cheek.

"Next time, I will scope out the place first." he assured the android.

"Next time?" Connor asked, turning his head back to look directly at him.

"Well... If you're up to it." Gavin pressed his lips to the android's. He pulled away as he felt something brush against his legs, "This must be the famous: Sumo."

Connor nodded, "Yes."

The dog immediately jumped up onto the couch next to Gavin, giving him a playful bark, "Hey there, bud." Gavin said, his hand on Sumo's head. Other hand now resting by his side.

It was now 3am and Connor scanned Gavin. Noting that the man needed his sleep, "Gavin." Connor put his hand on Gavin's thigh, "I would recommend that you sleep."

"We haven't got work tomorrow, Con." he removed his hand from Sumo before placing his other hand over Connor's, looking at him, "I can sleep whenever the fuck I want."

"Please, Gavin. I don't want you tired throughout tomorrow. It is already my fault that you are up this late."

"What? How is it your fault?"

The android shifted in his seat, before pointing at his nose with his free hand, "This-"

"That is not your fault." Gavin assured, moving both of his hands to the android's cheeks, "If anything, it was my damn fault. Makin' you go out to a bar that I knew hardly anything about."

Connor smiled before putting his arms around Gavin and leaning into his side, Gavin reciprocated, "We're just as bad as eachother." the android mumbled, burying his face into his boyfriend's neck.

That was not true. Gavin felt like the worst person on the planet. Connor was so innocent compared to him.

"You want me to stay with you until Lieutenant Asshole gets back?"

"If it's not too much of a bother for you."

"Not at all, hun."

Connor had entered Hank's room and soon returned to the couch with a duvet and pillow under his arms, "I-I can take the couch." the android said. He was also wearing his 'Knights of the Black Death' shirt and some black pyjama bottoms.

Oh, how much he wanted to fall into 'sleep-mode' surrounded by Gavin's warmth... But the nerves that shot through him told him otherwise.

"Connor, we can just shar-"

"You can take my room."

Gavin stood up and approached him, "No, listen-"

"I don't sleep like humans do anyways, Gavin. I have merely brought these-" he referred to the things under his arms, "-for my own personal comfort."

Gavin allowed Connor to step past him and put the duvet and pillow onto the sofa. He decided not to push Connor into sharing a bed with him, "You sure you're gonna be all right out here, Con? I can take the couch if you want."
