You're Alive - Connor X Reader - A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

It's Never Been Red Before

My dad closes my bedroom door as he leaves to get some food, leaving me and Connor all alone.

We both look at each other awkwardly, but when has anything stopped Connor from making conversation?

"I'm sorry about that," Connor says. "I wasn't aware of what I was doing."

"Pssh," I chuckle. "It's fine. Don't worry about it."

Connor turns to the direction of my pile of clothes, and walks towards it and begins scanning it. His LED flashes yellow for a second.

"These clothes are clean." He announces.

I look at him, "You should leave my room so I can change.."

"No," Connor turns his whole body to me. "I don't want you falling over again. I'm not taking that risk."

"So you're just going to watch me dress?" I ask confused.

"I can look away if you'd like-"

"Connor I swear to god!" I blurt out.

He walks over to the left corner of my room next to the door and turns around and covers his eyes with his hands. "You can change now."

I sigh, getting up from my bed slowly and shivering. It's so damn cold..
I walk over to my pile of clothes and look through it, trying to find something nice, and I do.

A cute black dress with white lacing on it. There's a cute bow on the front of the dress. I don't remember buying this at all.

I put it on and it fits real good. I pat it down if there's any dust or wrinkles on it so it looks a little better. Since I have no mirrors in my room, I could care a little less if I look like shit.

"Alright, you can turn around now." I tell Connor.

I feel so nervous all of a sudden.

Don't look this way..

Connor turns around and I pay close attention to his face as he looks at me. He doesn't look disgusted, or upset.

He smiles.

"Hold on. The front looks kinda messy," Connor walks up to me and puts his hands on the dress, fixing a few things.

I never realized how tall he was..
Or how nice his facial features are..
He looks so.. Complete.

Stop.

Don't think about that.

Not again.

I find myself staring at Connor but before I can look away, he looks down at me. I can see my reflection in his sparkly brown eyes.

He stops fixing things on my dress.

"You look so," He pauses, and places his hand on my cheek. "Beautiful.."

My heart skips a beat and I feel myself getting butterflies in my stomach.

He looks like he's leaning in for a kiss, but he quickly stops himself as our noses are touching. I then look closely at his face again, and he looks so bothered..

Quietly, I hear the mechanical sound of his LED change.

It's never been red before..

I lift my arms up from being stuck at my sides, and I unknowingly begin to hug him. I grip tightly.

I can feel his heart beating so quickly..

He grabs my shoulders and slightly pushes me out of a hug.

"(y/n)..?" He asks, looking deeply into my eyes.

"Y-yes?" I whisper, looking back at him.

He slowly slides his hand down to mine and grabs it. He lifts it up and we lock hands.

He looks down.

"(y/n)," He says one more time. "I.. I-"

Suddenly, my bedroom door opens. Connor and I quickly unlock hands and turn around. I notice his LED change back to blue.

"Alright I got you some food-" He turns in my direction and gasps quietly. "Daww.. It's been so long since I've seen you in a dress."

I smile.

I suddenly feel my knees get weak as I stumble. Connor catches me.

"You should go back to bed." He tells me.

I chuckle, "You don't have to tell me twice."

He guides me to my bed and lays me down. I feel my legs shake.

My dad quickly gives me a glass of water, and I down it real fast. He places a plate of food on my nightstand along with some pills and another glass of water.

"You'll be okay, sweetheart." He placed his hand on my head and smiles.

I can't help but feel bad. He wouldn't be having to waste his time for me if I didn't fall.

My dad turns to Connor, "Hey Connor,"

Connor turns to him.

"Meet me outside." My dad says, walking out of my room. I can hear the front door of the house open and close.

Connor looks at me. I look back.

Why isn't he leaving?

"You can go if you'd like.." I say.

He smiles in response, as he leaves the room and closes the door behind him.

I know what he was going to do to me..

I was just so afraid.
