Detroit: Become Human One Shots

|Daniel x Reader| {Part II}

A/n: This idea came from oOShinahiOo. It wasn't a request, but it was an amazing idea for a continuation of the previous Daniel one shot. Also, thank you for all the support with the recent fiasco. I'll delete those parts after I publish this story. Love you all!!!

~(Y/n)'s POV~

"Welcome home, (Y/n)," Daniel greets with a smile as soon as I walk through the door. "How was work?"

I tossed my bag on the sofa with a heavy sigh. "It would've gone better if I didn't keep receiving the same call from the same customer. All she wanted to do was nag over the phone and I hung up on her ever time. Sadly, she kept calling back."

"I've prepared some tea. Would you like some to help you relax?"

"Yes, please. I'd love a cup."

Daniel's smile widened as he headed into the kitchen to pour me a cup. I sat on the sofa and took off my shoes and jacket. Another sigh escaped my lips as Daniel returned and sat next to me on the couch. He handed me the warm cup of tea and I thanked him. "While you were gone, I heard John and Caroline yelling."

I took a sip, the warm beverage relaxing all my tense muscles. "Again? I wonder what's got them so irritable all of a sudden."

"I don't know, but I heard they picked up a new android today. Emma was not too pleased and ran out of the apartment to come and see me. She promises to visit every day from now on."

"It's been almost two weeks since you left the Phillips. I know she'll hold a grudge against her parents for awhile. She loves you so much."

Daniel stared at his clasped hands that rested in his lap. "If you weren't here, I would've done something terrible. I could've..."

I placed a hand over his. "Don't dwell on what could've happened. You should be celebrating what did happen. This may sound horrible, but... I'm glad you were replaced. Now, we get to spend every day with one another. You're my family and I love you, Daniel."

The android smiled and took my hand in his. "Thank you for providing me with a new home, (Y/n)."

"And thank you for giving me another chance at family." We stared into each other's eyes before our silence was interrupted by rasping knuckles. Daniel stood up and answered the door. Emma stormed in and hugged the android tightly. Behind her, I saw it was the new model NL740 the Phillips must've brought home today. It had brown eyes with blonde, spikey hair. The machine entered our apartment and introduced himself. "It's nice to meet you. I am NL740, or as the Phillips call me, Gale."

Something felt off about this android, but I pushed away the uneasy feeling and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Gale. I'm (Y/n) and this is Daniel." When I gestured to Daniel, I saw he was sending a glare to the new android. He held Emma tightly and stepped away from Gale. The tension in the air was suffocating and I stepped in to clear it. "Anyways, how're John and Caroline?"

"They are doing well. The Phillips are preparing dinner during our absence," Gale answers, his brown eyes trained on me.

"That's good to hear."

Daniel carried Emma to the couch and played with her as they used to. Gale followed me to the kitchen as I prepared a drink for Emma. "I heard what happened to Daniel," the android suddenly spoke up. I peered at him from the corner of my eye as I poured juice in a glass. "He almost killed the Phillips. That is punishable by law."

I slammed the juice carton down and glared at Gale. "Daniel was upset. He became deviant that day and lost himself to his emotions. He didn't kill anyone and I provided him a new home. I don't care that you're a part of the Phillips family now. They were his family first and you've got no say in the matter."
