Saving the Broken (Connor x Deviant!Reader)

Chapter 135

As you all headed out you all began to think about what your next goal was. You had to find Jamison Flint, whoever he was. You all left the Eden Club and hopped into Oreon's ride. He started it up and he began to head back to your house. All of you were going to discuss your thoughts and figure out your next moves from there.

Once you were back at your house, you all headed inside and sat down in the living room. You let the wolves outside so they could play. You sat down next to Connor and Hank and Oreon sat in two of the chairs.

"So, at least we have another lead. Jamison Flint...I've never heard the name, but I'm sure we'll be able to find him." Hank said.

"We shouldn't put out posters. According to Valentine, it may attract unwanted attention as well." Connor said.

"Well, I guess we're gonna have to do some digging then." Oreon pointed out.

"Yeah. Doesn't seem like there are many other options." You agreed.

"Well, I suck at research, so I'm gonna have to leave that up to you guys." Hank said.

"No problem, Hank." Connor told him.

"Well, now that all of that is settled, you guys should probably get home before it gets too late." You said.

"Yeah, I'm beat." Hank said.

"Well, I better get you home then. See you guys tomorrow. I'll look into it a little bit tonight and see if I can find anything that could help start us off." Oreon said.

"Sounds good! See you both tomorrow!" You called as they headed out.

"Bye!" Oreon called back and they left. After that, you instantly felt Connor's arms wrap around you. His gave your neck a playful peck and held you close to him.

"Connor!" You giggled. He grinned a little.

"Problem, love?" He asked.

"And you wonder why I call you a sneak." You sighed, rolling your eyes with a disbelieving grin.

"Well, if there's a reason why I'm a sneak, then maybe you should take into account all the things I call you." He said. You blushed.

"Come on, Con. Let go." You said. He whined a little like a child and held you tighter. "Connor." You said in a warning tone. He grumbled, fake pouting and he let go. You chuckled and kissed him. His eyes widened, but then he happily kissed back. Pulling you in again. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it was still perfect. You broke it and gently pushed off of you.

"Connor,"

"Yes?"

"If you let me get cleaned up, then I'll give you something in return." You whispered. He blushed, but you saw his smile turn into an eager one.

"Yes, but you have to promise me that you'll let me have some time." You told him, tracing his jawline with your finger. He smiled lovingly at you.

"Alright, I suppose I can agree to that." You smiled and you headed upstairs. You went into the bathroom and you stripped down as you filled the tub with water. You melted into the tub once it was full and you relaxed for a little while before you began to wash your hair and skin.

Valentine's POV

I was excited to go with Oreon. I had missed him so much over the past four years. It had been four YEARS since I had last spoken to him, and that conversation did not end on a good note.

I was so glad that he still loved me. I thought he would've found somebody else in that amount of time. I was lucky he hadn't. I was even luckier that he was still even alive! He'd been shot!? That was insane! Oreon was not the jump into action type. He was more of helper and behind the scenes person. Still, I was glad that he was alive.

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I wondered if he had come back after dropping the others off. I was pretty hopeful.

"Come in!" I called. The door opened and I saw that it was in fact Oreon. I ran over to him and hugged him.

"Come on. Let's get going." He said with a soft smile. I was excited to go see his home. I had changed into more comfortable and casual clothes. I was hoping people wouldn't notice me too much this way. He took my hand and he led me out of the building and to his car. He started it up and he took me back to his house.

Once we get there, I heard voices laughing together inside. Oreon chuckled. I looked at him, confused and curious.

"My roommate, well, housemate I should say, must've brought his girlfriend over. I guess he isn't the only one." Oreon told me. I smiled. We walked inside and I saw two android hanging out together. One of the had blond hair and the other had long brown hair. They both looked like really friendly people.

"Ralph! Nelly!" Oreon called. They looked over and I waved at them shyly. "I want you to meet Valentine. She's going to be staying with us now, Ralph." Oreon said. They both smiled.

"Ralph thinks that is a great idea! Ralph is very happy for Oreon!" He said.

"Yeah! It's nice to see you finally found someone, Oreon!" Nelly agreed.

"Ralph refers to himself in the third person, by the way." Oreon whispered to me. I nodded with a smile. We both walked over to join the two. Nelly was staying the night apparently and I was glad to have another girl around. It helped me feel a little more comfortable knowing it was all evened out. After about an hour of chatting it was time to get some sleep. I followed Oreon to his room and I gladly joined him as we both laid down together. I cuddled up to him, a smile and content smile on my face.

"I love you." I told him. His arms wrapped around me.

"I love you too." He said. I smiled, happily nuzzling my face into his chest before falling asleep in his arms.

Oreon's POV

I felt her body relax in my arms as I held Val close to me. I sighed. My smile fell as I heard my inner thoughts fighting with each other again. Battling against whether or not my actions were selfish and whether or not I should allow myself to hold Val and tell her I love her. I did feel joy with her, but it wasn't everything it should've been. It wasn't the same. I sighed heavily. Oreon, you'll never get rid of this feeling, so you might as well take what you can. You DO love Valentine, and you would protect her, but it's just not as strong as before. I told myself. I looked at the girl sleeping in my arms. At least...I have somebody who I can call mine. I kissed her forehead, smiling a little bit as I thought about how much better my life could be with her now. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was time for me to accept the facts an do my best to move on. That's all I should've been doing instead of hurting myself even further. I should've just tried to accept what I have. I looked at Valentine one last time before closing my eyes. I just hope she never finds out the truth about me.
