You tapped your pen against your desk, bored out of your mind already. You hummed quietly as you stared at your computer screen.
"That's not annoying at all..." Gavin sarcastically commented

You looked at him and pointed your pen at him,
"That's funny, because that's exactly what I said when I first saw your face." You playfully snapped back before bringing the end of the writing utensil to your mouth

He looked taken aback,
"Uh...wow...rude. I'm gonna write a report to Captain Fowler about this harrassment."

You laughed quietly,
"I'm sorry, you were asking for it." You unknowingly chewed on the pen, a nervous tick.

"You know, Y/n, when I first met you I recall you being shy and actually nice to me."

"You know what I recall? I recall thinking 'wow this guy is definetly a douchebag'. I guess things never change." You smirked

"That's it, I'm telling on you." he grabbed a pen from his desk and pretended like he was gonna write a report

"Okay,okay! I'll stop, I didn't mean it...you just set yourself up..I couldn't resist." you laughed

He rolled his eyes and sat back in his chair,
"If I were you I wouldn't be so rude to the only friend you have." he playfully glared at you

You quietly laughed,
"Pft. Whatever, Reed."

"I'm gonna get me a refill, want anything?" he picked up his empty mug as he sat up

You shook your head before he got up and made his way to the break room. You smiled up at Connor as he made his way to your desk,
"Y/n, are you hungry? Would you like me to go grab something for you to eat?"

"Uh..no? Why do you ask?"

He pointed down at you and you noticed that you were chewing on your pen before ripping the writing utensil away from your mouth, "Oh..." You looked down at the now mangled object

"Is everything alright? Are you experiencing any anxiety? I know that some humans have a tendency to succumb to habits; sometimes small sometimes big when they're under stress."

"No--I mean yes! Everything is alright, it's not a big deal." You sighed

"If something is wrong, you'll tell me..right, Y/n?"

you quickly nodded,
"It's just...I wanna leave this desk."

"Well, you can, I'm sure you don't have to stay in your seat the entire time." he tilted his head in confusion

You weakly smiled,
"Connor, that's not what I meant. I meant I wanna take calls with you, I wanna do actual detective work."

"I don't think that's a good idea. "

You sighed,
"But Connor, I'm fine. I'm much much better!"

"I don't think you should go back to the way things were just yet."

"What?! You can't be serious."

"I'm sorry, Y/n. I won't allow you to come with us if you even tried."

"What?! That's bullshit!" You slightly raised your voice, earning a few questionable looks. You peered around the station before getting up and grabbing Connor's arm; pulling him somewhere more quiet in the station. You both stood in the hallway near the evidence room, you rubbed your temples and took a deep breath, "Connor, I appreciate the thought but I'd prefer it if you didn't treat me like you control me. I get it, you think you know what's best but I need to do my job!"

"Your job is at your desk. I understand you're overwhelmed, maybe you'd be better going back home. I--" he tried to keep his calm voice

"No! I'm not going back home," you bit your tongue for a moment as you grew frustrated with Connor, "This is what I want! Why can't you see that?"

"Y/n...I meant what I said. I will not allow it." he spoke with a hint of sterness in his voice

You scoffed and opened your mouth to protest but the android quickly cut you off

"I can't lose you! Why are you so stubborn?" his LED was yellow now as he threw his voice at you, not in anger however, he sounded more hurt than anything, "I-I love you--I can't lose you, I won't. If something happened to you again I--" the circle in his temple spun red as he looked at you;defeated. He looked full of hurt as he hung his head.

You grabbed his hand and held it tightly before your other hand reached up to his face, you leaned into him so that you were eye to eye,
"You're not gonna lose me, I'm right here. I'm always gonna be here," you spoke gently as you pressed your forehead against his, "I'm sorry, Connor."

"It's not your fault. If you need to do this--I understand. I'm just...scared," he takes his hand from you to bring both of his hands to cup your face,"If I lost you I think I'd--I don't think I'd be able to handle that...loss." his voice was near a whisper

"I'm sorry. If you want I'll stay near your side the entire time, or even Hank...I just need to do this."

He nodded softly,
"Just make sure you tell your doctor first, okay?"

"I will, I promise," you lifted your head from his hands to place a kiss on his forehead, "I love you." you wrapped your arms around him to embrace him and he did the same.

"I love you too." he held you tightly and placed a soft kiss on your lips. You were going to go back in for another until you heard footsteps approcahing, you quickly peeled yourself away from Connor. He immediately fixed his tie as a couple of cops rounded the corner, they looked at you both skeptically as they passed and entered the evidence room. You watched them disappear into the room before you turned back towards Connor, you giggled at the close call and he softly laughed with you.

"We should probably get back to work." you walked back down the hall and he followed
