This is so funny to me? I have never heard anyone call him Coco Iâm dead lmao. Human reader distracts a stubborn guard so that Hank and Connor can find some evidence.Â
âYou really want a piece of plastic ruining the crime scene, sweetheart?âÂ
You could feel yourself rolling your eyes mentally, and it takes all of your will power to stop yourself from doing it physically as well. You force a smile at the man and glance at Hank wondering how heâd respond, but he looks like heâs ready to just up and leaveââheâs still a bit hungover sadly.Â
Connor merely blinks at the insult, âMy mission is to examine the crime scene notâââ
âI didnât ask, so shut it.â The android shuts his mouth promptly before looking at you in confusion, head tilting to one side. Heâd become accustomed to the hostility of humans, especially those in law enforcement, but that didnât mean he understood why it had to be that way.
âYou know what, this is above my pay-gradeââletâs get outta here.â Hank is already walking away, hands shoved into his pocket as he grumbles angrily about how much time theyâve wasted. Connor furrows his brows as he follows after him like a lost puppy, âBut lieutenantââthe deviant!â âShut it Connor!â
A frown makes its way to your face as you watch them. Why should you three leave if you were just doing your jobsââandroid present or not. But you then realize the guard is too preoccupied checking out your ass so heâs completely unaware of the other two getting further away. And then you get a bright idea.Â
âWeâre just doing our jobs, let us in alright?â The guard opens his mouth to make a snide remark before pausing as he feels your fingers barely brush the side of his arm. His gaze returns to your face as you look up at him with sparkling doe eyes.Â
And then Hank finally notices that you werenât following them. â(Y/N), what are youââ?â he freezes in place immediately, putting one arm out to stop Connor. The android stares at him in bewilderment before he also catches sight of the unexpected scene. The guard and you are standing unnecessarily close (he would know considering the number of times youâve mentioned personal space) and his brows furrow when he sees the man lean in closer as you whisper something to him.Â
Connor finds his feet moving on their own, wanting to pull you away from the man, but Hank yanks on his arm and pulls him away. âThe hell are you doinâ? Crime sceneâs this way!â he grumbles irritably as he ushers the android into the building.
âBut (y/n)ââ?â
âSheâs just buying time, just do your detective shit already!â
As heâs pulled away, the android continues to look in your direction, a strange and almost possessive feeling both mind and body. He wants nothing more than to snatch you away and keep you as far from that man as possible. If anything, he should be in his placeâŚand the android cannot comprehend why?
Eventually, he can no longer see the two of you and he almost grudgingly follows the Lieutenant, eyes flitting to the floor then back up. He had a job to doââenough nonsense.
âLieutenant, shouldnât (y/n) be with us?â He asks quicker than his brain can process.
Hank raises a brow at the question and shrugs, âSheâll be fine. Just find what we need so we can get the hell outta here.â
âBut what if the guard decides to harm her?â
âSheâs a police officer, she knows how to handle herself.â
âBut if she lets her guard down, he couldâââ
âRelax Connor, sheâll be fine.â
âBut what ifâââ
âJust find the damn evidence!â
âSorry Lieutenant.âÂ
And theyâre out within 10 minutes. The android is all too eager to exit the premise, finding himself awfully worried about your safetyââthatâs what he tells himself. Hank is all but impressed, considering it was the quickest heâd ever seen the bot move. He had his suspicions.Â
You and the guard are still outside, now leaning against the wall making needless chatter. Youâre so bored out of your mind that you almost considered walking away, but whatever had to be done. You could feel the manâs hot breath just above your ear and you did your best not to physically cringe.Â
Your prayers are answered abruptly as Connor suddenly comes marching up to you and taking your hand into his without explanation. He looks the guard in the eye and says a quick, âGood day,â before tugging you away with him over towards Hank. The man just stands there flabbergasted as youâre whisked away and the three of you are already in the car and driving away.Â
In the backseat, Connor stares at the back of your head blankly, still processing the irritable feeling in his chest. Hank proceeds to share what heâs learned with you and you listen as if nothingâs happened. Was he the only one bothered by what he saw earlier? As the two of you talk, the android uncharacteristically cuts in.
â(Y/N)? Are you alright?â He sounds legitimately worried. You turn in your seat to get a look at him, âYeah? Why wouldnât I be?â
He pauses, eyes flitting across your face and you notice his LED is blinking yellow. You glance at Hank, whose pretending he doesnât hear this conversation as he drives. âDid something happen inside?â you ask suspiciously, eyeballing the Lieutenant who still pretends he hasnât a clue whatâs going on.Â
Connor doesnât speak for a moment, trying to find the proper words to express hisâŚdistaste for using such tacticsââthat she had to use such tactics. His mouth gapes open like a fish as heâs unable to find said words and he can only blink as he stares at you in his own confusion.Â
âYou okay Connor?â
He looks down for a moment, lost in thought yet again, before looking you in the eye with furrowed brows. âNoâŚI think I wasâŚjealous?â
Hank snorts loudly beside you as he does a terrible job of hiding his amused snickers, and you can only stare back at him blankly as the information processes.Â
