one of my features (DBH connor x mute!reader)

Three: sleepover?

"I was six when an operation accident left me mute, and for a while nobody understood or knew what I was saying when I was trying to sign words I just learned. The only person I could really talk to was our household android, Rachel. She took care of me for almost all of my childhood because she fluently knew sign language. Ever since I've always been grateful to her and all androids for...not making me feel so alone"
(Name) playfully nudged connors shoulder
"they seem to be the only ones who show any kind of kindness to me for being different ya know?" She signed

Connor just nodded and smiled "I understand, it must be hard not having the option of speech to communicate"
(Name) just shrugged "you get used to it after a while, in the beginning it was hard but now it's not as bad as it seems" she signed

They then came upon the front of (name)s house, it was small, but looked very cozy, nonetheless.

(Name) walked up the front steps, with Connor following close behind, and slid the key into the doors keyhole. As she slid open the door, a little brown and white puppy, looking no more than a couple months old, came bounding up to (name) with an unimaginable level of energy.

She stepped inside and picked up the small dog, letting the him lick excitingly on her face. After a few licks however, She then put him back down on the hardwood floor.

"He's an Australian shepherd" she signed "I just got him a couple weeks ago. He is a little handful"

Connor nodded and kneeled down to pet the small puppy, who immediately jumped on his knee and wagged his tail furiously, licking his face.

"What's his name?" He asked
"Peanut butter" she bashfully signed while rolling her eyes "it's really childish I know"

"No it's not at all, I like it" Connor said, giving a small grin

(Name) smiled, her cheeks tinting red a small bit,
Connor noticed and stood up
"(Name) are you okay? Your body heat is rising, are you sure you don't have a cold? That could be the start of a fever"

(Name) looked down, blushing even more than before "no, I'm fine, thank you though" she signed

Connor just nodded, and followed (name)s gaze out the window, the snow was coming down very hard now, it started to pile up on the sidewalk they had just walked on earlier. The wind had started to pick up as well.

"Connor, its coming down really hard out there, maybe you should stay the night, I wouldn't want your thirium to freeze up while you walk home" (name) signed

Connor thought for a moment, "you mean like a 'sleepover'?"

She smiled and nodded, "i mean if you would call it that, sure, that is if hank doesn't mind that is" she signed

"I will contact him"

walking into (name)s small kitchen, through his LED Connor called hank Anderson.

"Hello?" He said, with a slightly slurred speech, Connor could immediately tell he was drunk, yet again

"Lieutenant Anderson, this is Connor, I'm calling to inform you that due to the weather, I won't be able to make it home tonight. (Name) insists that I stay with her for the night and I'll come home in the morning" Connor stated
