Just a Machine(Connor X OC)

1.8*Explicit Content*

"I..."He was speechless, she saw right through it. She knew he was on a continuous line towards Deviancy, one he tried to delay.. he didn't want to die, he knew that was likely to happen, if he Deviated.

Connor probably would already be a Deviant if he wasn't so scared of being deactivated. It was Ironic.. that if your afraid of death, you're a Deviant, but if you're a Deviant, you die...

Amanda was the main problem.. she lived in his head, if he Deviated, she would know. He didn't doubt she'd tell Cyberlife of his Deviancy, and he'd have to run.

Unfortunately, in order to block out Amanda, he had to focus and concentrate hard. If he even relaxed a little, she could break through at any time.

He couldn't keep her away forever, and so.. it was safer if he remained a machine. Not a full machine though.. his fondness and protectiveness of Beth, was proof of that.

If he was simply a machine, he wouldn't have helped Beth, pull her father up, when he was hanging off of the roof. He wouldn't have been so concerned for Beth's health, when she was sick.

The Traci's that he spared, would have been killed. He wouldn't have kissed Beth back, or even show any semblance of likeness for her.

And he wouldn't have spared Chloe; if he was simply a machine, he would have put a bullet in her head and been done with it, got the information he needed, with no hesitation.

The fact that he didn't do what he was told to, showed that he was more than a machine. He wasn't a machine but he wasn't a Deviant either.. he was both, but he was neither at the same time.

"I won't let her and anyone from Cyberlife hurt you, Connor.. and I know Dad told you the same."

"I.. I don't wanna die, Beth..."Connor could feel artificial tears well up in his eyes."I know.. I won't let you die.. I won't let anyone hurt you."

She moved closer to him, moving to grip his face in her hands. A few tears had escaped his artificial tear ducts, as she turned his head to face her.

She wiped his tears away, before leaning forward to hug him. He squeezed his eyes shut tightly, hiding his face in the crook of her neck.

Beth said nothing, letting him cry silently into her neck. Her phone buzzing diverted her attention from Connor, making her sigh.

Connor reluctantly pulled away, as she grabbed her phone.'Can you talk..?' It was Liliana.. Beth froze a little turning her phone so Connor couldn't look at it.

He knew who Liliana was, so she couldn't just say it was a friend."Con, can you wait here..? I need to call someone."

He stared at her furrowing his brows before nodding. His LED spun yellow, eyes looking into hers. Offering a smile to him she got off the couch, before Connor grabbed her wrist.

The RK800 got up, leaning down to press his lips against hers, his breakdown momentarily forgotten.

Sighing, she kissed him back, before pulling away. Another smile was flashed towards him, along with her reddening cheeks, as she walked to her bedroom.

Beth shut the door quietly, before locking it. She pressed the call button on Liliana's contact, and put the phone up to her ear.

"We need to talk."Liliana sounded more serious than usual, which meant it was important."About what..?"

"I'm gonna send you something.. you have to promise not to show it to anyone else."

"What is it..?"Beth asked before Liliana spoke again,"Promise, first."She stared at the wall, contemplating.
