Chapter 15:Emotional Nights Lead to Good Mornings

"Its only 6:24 PM (Y/n)" Connor informs you and you look at the clock.
"Wait, it's only going on 6:30? Jeez the day feels so long" you sighed.

"How's your wounds Connor?" You ask the android still a bit worried due to the amount of blood loss he sustained.

"Everything has already healed so you don't need to concern yourself with me" He replies as he softly pets Teddy who now layed in his lap as he sat on the floor legs crossed.

"That's good, also thanks for saving everyone earlier...and thanks for saving me once again" You smile gratefully at the android before adding "I need to save you at least once to repay you" you state half jokingly.

"I wanted to take that deviant alive so it would be easier for the investigation..." He muttered in thought with himself.

You look over to him sympathetically before replying "There wasn't anything you could have done to prevent what happened, but at least the people there lives were spared" you tell him.

He goes silent and the subject drops. You leave the subject be and stare off into space.

You end up watching the news which has been going crazy nonstop because of the android revolution but after a while you get bored of it and change the channel to shows that you find interesting and at one point you left to go put Connor's suit in the dryer.

Later on it has gotten late but you dont feeo sleepy and the weather outside won't stop snowing.

The apartment is dark and Connor shut down for a bit to make a report to cyberlife so you are left with a dimly lit apartment and your sitting on a window seat staring out the window at the cold November night.

Your mind started to wander thinking about all the shit that's been thrown at you since waking up in 2038 Detroit.

Your heart grew heavy when you started to think of your parents and the life you used to have as you stared at each passing snowflake.

You feel weight has been added to your windowseat knowing it is Connor you look over at him and see he is also deep in thought as he stares out the window.

"Something troubling you Connor?" You ask the android more interested in his problems than your own.

"Just thinking of where to go next for our investigation" He replies. Of course he would think of the investigation, you wonder if he thinks of other things besides his mission.

"Are you okay (Y/n)?" He asks turning his attention to you concerned.
"Yeah I guess, just thinking" You sigh looking away crossing your arms staring out the window.

"About what?" He asks tilting his head curiously.
"About...everything" You sighed sadness evident in your voice.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks you calmly.

"You know what? Sure" You say as you sit up looking at the android deciding to get some stuff off your chest.

"I was thinking about work but I started to think about my family and how...how they are no longer here when little things remind me" You started saying and looked down at your lap as you fiddled with your fingers thinking of your parents.

"Like how when I wake up on Saturdays I would hear my mom would always be downstairs drinking coffee with my dad or how I would come home from work and I get mad if my dad is in the bathroom when i want to use it" You chuckle a bit at the memory and Connor stays silent listening intently.

"Stuff like that, it's gone and no matter how much I want to be with them again I can't. I lost that precious time I had and now I'm paying the price for participating in my dad's stupid project " you hissed under your breath sighing sadly.

You look up and your sad (e/c) orbs meet Connor's brown ones you smile sadly on the brink of tears you croak out weakly

"I wasn't there for them. I...I didn't get to say goodbye to them or tell them how much I loved them..."

Warm tears slid down your pained face you look down at your lap tears refusing to stop you tried desperately to rub them away.

You feel Connor's hands grab yours from your face stopping you from touching your face Connor then grabs your shoulders awkwardly trying to comfort you in a stiff and awkward hug.

"Its not your fault (Y/n), you didn't know your cryopod would malfunction..." He muttered comforting you.

You returned the hug allowing silent tears to fall causing you to sniffle a bit.
"You can't change the past but you can keep going forward for those that love you" He says as he holds you in his arms.

"...yeah" you mutter almost inaudibly holding tighter to the android a small smile formed on your face.

"Thank you Connor...you didn't have to hear me out..." You tell him when you break away from the hug.

"Its alright do you feel better?" He asks you.
You nod as you wipe your nose "yeah."

Connor gives you a small smile as he reaches his hand out wiping your cheek with his thumb.

Just then you felt something soft snuggled up by your leg.
You look down and see Teddy brushing up against you in a comforting way.

Connor picks up Teddy handing him to you saying "You should sleep with Teddy tonight so you dont feel lonely" he suggested.

"Yeah, I'm going to bed" You tell him as you get up while holding Teddy.
You turn to Connor but then get really close to his ear saying "Let me tell you a secret" You tell him and proceed to whisper into his ear.

After telling him a personal secret of yours you turn away saying "Goodnight Connor..." you start to walk away with Teddy but then add in looking at Connor in the eye.
"Your more human than you seem to let off" after that you walked off with Teddy half asleep in your arms.

You lay down in your bed and fall asleep.

The next morning you wake up feeling the familiar presence of Teddy laying next to you soaking up your body heat but you were surprised when you turn to your left.

You see Connor sleeping under the covers of your bed on the other side of the bed.

Connor looked like he was sleeping peacefully as he kept a hand near you and Teddy as a way of comfort.

If you didnt know any better you would have mistaked him for a human.

You lightly shook Connor's shoulder to try to wake him up.
He stirs from his sleep his brown eyes fluttering open and he sits up.

"Good morning (Y/n)" he greets you calmly.

"Why are you in my bed Connor?" You asked the android confused.
"Teddy was whining and wanted me to sleep here with him. I did what he wanted because he almost woke you up" Connor explained and added "I'm sorry if I creeped you out' he apologized.

"No its alright" you smile at him as you get out of bed and stretching.

You head off to the bathroom and did your normal routine.
Stepping out of the bathroom and making your way to the kitchen to see Connor sitting at the small dining table across from a empty seat that has a cup of coffee and toast rested on the table.

"Did you make me coffee?" You asked the android confused and he nods.
"How are you this morning (Y/n)?" Connor asked.

"I feel good, I'm glad we talked last night. I needed to tell someone what's plagued my mind since day one" you tell him as you take a sip of coffee.

"That's good that your feeling better now" He stated as he looks at a tablet that shows some information about our case.

"Also can you do me a favor and keep what we talked about between us?" You ask Connor catching his attention.

"Alright, your secrets are safe with me" He gives you a awkward kind smile.
