Connor x Running Orphan Reader

" Holy shit, what the hell's going on in here how'd the door get opened ? "

It was a voice of the old man who spoke first. Then the young man.

" I think someone might be in here, Hank. "

Suddenly the weight was being lifted off of you as each box was removed you could move your body. You opened your eyes to see two faces looming over you. One was the old man, Hank and the younger one with brown eyes and a blinking light on the side of his head. He cocked his head slightly at you and looked at Hank.

" It's her, the girl from the missing child's case. "

Missing child's case ? You weren't missing, you ran away !

" I'm not missing, I ran away ! "

You corrected him shortly. He smiled as he and Hank pulled you to your feet. Sensing your animosity on the subject he didn't press on it.

" How the heck did you get in here kid ? "

Hank asked bewildered.

" Uh, the door ? "

" Okay, how'd you get into the house ? "

" The window, it was all boarded up so I figured I could stay for a while. "

" Why would you pick abandoned houses, why not just go and ask to stay with a family or here's a better idea go to the police or a hospital ? "

Hank had a tone of slight annoyance as if it were obvious that what you had done was a stupid decision.

" Because if I did that they'd come back and get me ! "

You protested, Hank opened his mouth to say something else on the matter but sighed instead.

" Okay, kid. We'll talk more about it tomorrow, it's getting late. Connor ? "

" Yeah ? "

" Run a bath for her before she freezes. "

The young man, Connor, nodded and stretched his hand out to you. Cautiously you took it, even though you already knew where the bathroom was you felt it was just the polite thing to do. He guided to the bathroom and flipped the light on and started to run the water taking both your body temperature, size and skin sensitivity into account to find the perfect warmth. Once the tub was full, Connor turned the water off and made his way past you to the door. Your eyes followed him to the door, studying his stride, it was perfect, from his heel, toe movement to the stiff movement of his legs. Connor opened the door and stepped past the threshold, sticking his head through just for a moment.

" Call if you need anything. "

He suggested softly before closing the door behind him. You nodded and gave a quick smile as he shut it, leaving you alone with your thoughts and a tub of fresh, hot water. You liked Connor, he was interesting, you couldn't think of any reason why but he just was. With that, you stripped out of your wet clothes and climbed into the bathtub letting the water soak through your grimy skin and relax your aching muscles. While you laid in peace in a real bathtub full of actual hot water, Connor and Hank discussed what to do with you on the couch in the living room.

" So, how old do you think ? "

" Ten, the same age as the one in the case, as well as hair, eyes, blood type, dental records, finger prints - "

" Yeah, yeah right I got that but...How are we gonna tell her about her parents, they've been hangin' around the precinct for two weeks now and it's obvious she doesn't wanna go near 'em. "

" Simple, we get her side of the story then we do what needs to be done. "

" Hm, think I can go with that. "

Meanwhile after roughly forty-five minutes to an hour you hopped out of the bath and went to the cupboard on instinct and searched around for a towel. Within a few seconds you found one and wrapped yourself up in it. You stood still for a moment and let the softness of the fabric seep in. It felt good, if this was how a fresh towel felt you couldn't wait to see what a real bed felt like. After the feeling passed you opened the bathroom door and moved stealthily to the couch standing in front of the television. Connor took instant notice and smiled at you.
" All clean ? "

" mm-hm. "

" Okay, let's see if I can find you something to wear to bed. "

You smiled at him and took a step back to let him stand up. You followed Connor back into the main bedroom and stopped behind him when he reached the closet. You waited patiently as he shuffled through clothes, every once and awhile taking a peek at the computer screen which had gone black.

" What were you looking at on the computer ? "

You asked curiously, Connor paused as he pulled out a large black t-shirt to give to you.

" I was looking up background information on your parents, what were you doing watching me from the corner ? "

Your eyes went wide How did he know I was there he didn't turn around or anything.

" How did you know - "

" I'm installed with a 360 degree scanner that can reach up to 500 feet at a time seeing how you were only ten feet away from me it wasn't hard to know where you were. "

" Then why didn't you stop me from going into that storage room ? "

" If I did then you would've ran so I figured I'd let you explore until you found yourself under a pile of boxes. "

You frowned at him.

" That's a stupid thing to do. "

" So is breaking into houses. "

You opened your mouth to object but closed it knowing that he was right. Smirking at his little victory, Connor draped the t-shirt over you as you dropped the towel, he tied the shirt off at the bottom allowing you to move properly while still covering your lower regions.

" There, all covered up, we'll go looking for fresh clothes for you tomorrow. "

You nodded in agreement and walked to the bed. Running your fingers over the comforter then peeled it back to run them over the sheets.

" You've never had a bed before have you (Y/N) ? "

Connor questioned sympathetically.

" Nope, at least not as good as this one. "

He didn't say anything in return just stood there and watched your fascination with the object.

After scaling the bed you climbed in and let yourself sink into the mattress and pillows. Sleep took over every muscle in your body at this point, quiet, peaceful...safe. You could feel your eyes drooping closed until you could hear the sound of the door being cracked. You opened them and saw that Connor was about to leave the room.

" Connor ? "

You spoke gingerly, his eyes met yours the minute you spoke.

" Yes ? "

" Can...can you stay with me just until I fall asleep ? "

" Of course. "

With that he shut the door and moved the office chair to the bed side and watched over you as you shut your eyes and fell asleep.

Outside of the bedroom as midnight rolled around, Hank rubbed his eyes and turned off the T.V. Stretching he got up and went to the back of the house to check on you. He opened the door as quietly as he could and smiled. You were wrapped up in the comforter on the bed snoozing away while Connor's head drooped down against his chest as he slept in a sitting position. He chuckled to himself and closed the door. Another night on the couch doesn't too bad.
