After Hank finally putting pants on, they went to a nearby restaurant.
"Is this a date?" Connor asked.
"What? Are you fucking insane?" Hank retorted. "Why in the world would this be a date"
"Most humans who live together and show affection go out on dates" Connor replied, casually. Hank didn't even reply. They pulled into the restaurant and got a table. The waiter approached and took their orders.
"So, androids can eat now?" Hank asked.
"Yes. Food is quite weird, my programming doesn't agree with it but it makes me feel human." Connor says. Hank is overcome with a sadness he can't explain- he just wants Connor to be happy. After they eat, they head home. They sit to watch TV.
"Hank?"
"Yes Connor?"
"Why do you still drink? I know you lost your son and all but didn't you quit?" Connor asks.
"Sometimes things are hard to let go of"
"Well I just want you to know, I care about you, Lieutenant"
"Why do you still call me Lieutenant" Hank asks.
"It reminds me of the day I fell in love with you"
Hank was shocked. Connor has never said anything like this before.
"What?" Hank asks, perplexed.
"Love is a human thing, am I wrong?" Connor asks a little uncomfortable.
"Yes but you, no... what..?" Hank asks, unable to speak. " I don't think you know what love is"
Connor scoots over and rests his head on Hanks chest. He climbs into his legs and wraps his hands around him.
"I do love you, Hank"
