"Don't make me regret this." The captain warned as Y/n nodded, dropping the smile. As her smile fell, so did Connor's odd feeling of joy.
'Wait, joy...?' The Android thought to himself, not realizing that his human companions were already making their way back to their desks. Snapping out of his thoughts, he followed in suit.

3. Instability
It had been 9 hours since Y/n was hired and assigned into the same case as Connor and Hank. The trio parted ways, or just Hank, as he drove off to Jimmy's bar to get a drink. This was in an attempt to ease his anger about being assigned a case that he was against. Before he left, however, Hank handed Y/n $30 to go buy her undergarments and if she chose, some makeup.
"May I join you, detective L/n?" Connor asked, peering over the h/c girl's shoulder while analyzing the money that the lieutenant had given her. A slight flush of pink arose on her face and her heart rate began to pick up with the attractive android being so close to her. Taking note of such changed, Connor's sculpted brow raised in concern.
"Are you alright, detective? Your heart rate has increased by 13% and your cheeks are flushed. Is it too cold for you here?" This feeling of concern brought the words 'software instability' at the corner of Connor's line of sight while his LED flashed yellow, then red, and returned back to electric blue.
"I'm fine, Connor just, um, just call me y/n. I'm not your boss, you don't need to be so formal." She replied, mentally cussing at how she stuttered.
"May I join you in your shopping?" He repeated once more, hoping to get an actual answer from the flustered female.
"Sure. Why not." She answered, as the two stepped outside of the police station.
"Would you like to take a taxi there or would you prefer to walk, Y/n?" Connor asked, as he peered into her sparkling e/c irises. Something about Y/n made Connor feel.... some kind of emotion. It twisted his stomach in a delight when he analyzed her earlier that day upon meeting her. She was something special.. something he wanted to protect; no matter what it cost him.

"Hey you okay there, Connor?" Y/n asked, waving a hand frantically in front of the android's face. His LED flickered red before he snapped back to reality and his LED turned back to blue.
An awful amount of thirium rushed through his gears and pooled in his face, tinting his freckled cheeks with a bluish hue.
'He looks adorable.' Y/n thought to herself upon guessing the blue tint was his version of a blush.
"Yes I'm fine." He finally replied, fiddling with his tie.
"Well let's go then." Y/n moved on as Connor walked beside her.

"Did you really have to tag along when I came here?" Y/n asked the Android who nodded his head with that flawless smile on his lips.
"Am I causing you discomfort, Y/n? If so, I could wait outside on the benches." Connor suggested, motioning in the direction of the cushions outside the store.
"No it's fi-"
"Wow that Android over there is pretty cute." A girl blabbed to her friend. She was about 16-18 years old, with rather revealing clothing donning her figure. A cropped, frilled, off the shoulder white top with daisy-dukes and white sneakers failed to cover her slim body.
A small tinge of anger arose within Y/n as she interlaced her fingers with Connor. Like before, thirium rushes through his circuitry and up to his face. The poor Android, who hadn't the slightest clue on what was going on, simply covered his heated cheeks with his hand. That strange feeling of delight washed over him again, as he enjoyed the warmth Y/n's hand gave him. It just felt so right.

"Hey babe, how does this one look?" Y/n questioned, emphasizing the nickname while pulling out a skimpy set of lingerie. Connor tilted his head, analyzing her face before he heard her whisper, "Just go with it." As if understanding what she meant, Connor wrapped an arm around her waist, which pushed her head closer to his chest. He picked the lingerie from her hands and scanned it before receiving a mental image of what Y/n would look like in it.
"Would you like to try it on, babe?" Connor suggested as he winked; the gesture caused some heat to rise to Y/n's face.
"Y-yeah s-sure Baby." She sputtered out before gaining her confidence back seeing the girl storming away angrily with her friend.
"You can put that one back now, Connor." Y/n told him as he raised a brow.
"Are you sure? It would look remarkably well on you." He pressed with a teasing tone in his voice. Y/n's face went completely hot as she mumbled an "I'm sure." A melodic laugh left his lips as he placed the item back on its rack.

After y/n bought what she needed, she decided on heading to
美しさ/utsukushi-sa; a beauty parlour much like Sephora from her world.
"Let's go here!" She exclaimed, triggering other shoppers to stare at her and Connor. Analyzing her again, he allowed a small smile arise to his face as the feeling of warmth came back and his thirium pump began to beat faster.
'She looks adorable when she is happy...' he thought to himself.

He shook his head to dismiss the warning sign before following after her. As they stepped into the store, a whole wave of scents and perfumes washed over the duo, causing Y/n's nose to wrinkle in slight disgust.
Nevertheless, they made their way around the store, Y/n trying different styles and various make up products on both her arms and on a sampler paper the store offered. Then, she got an idea.
"Hey, Connor can you come here for a sec?" She asked him as he tore his eyes away from the mirror they had perched. Fixing his tie, he headed towards her.
"What can I help you with?" With a tilt of his head, Y/n found her cheeks heating up again.
'He looks adorable like that.' She thought to herself.
"Come here I want to see what this looks like on you." Y/n said as Connor moved closer to her.
"Hold still or I could mess it up." She suggested, as Connor remained perfectly still. With her younger sticking slightly out of her mouth as she focused, Connor's thirium pulp began to act up yet again.

Y/n applied some red lipstick and black winged eyeliner on the Android and grinned in satisfaction at her work.
"Damn Connor that wing is sharp enough to slit someone's throat!" Y/n commented, her eyes sparkling and face in awe at how Connor could actually pull off the makeup.
Eventually Y/n cleaned off the makeup and she picked up (insert 3+ makeup products here). Sadly, she didn't have enough as she spent $17 in the lingerie store.
"I'll pay the rest." Connor said, as he placed his hand on the scanner.
"Transaction approved! Thank you for shopping at Utsukushi-sa. Have a nice day!" The other Android recited, as Y/n picked up the bags.
"Thanks Connor." Y/n flashed him a smile. He returned the gesture and nodded.
