Bye Bye Baby Blue

(Conan's POV)

Lucy's stress levels were so high that I had to do something. The way she just sat there and took it at all, letting them yell at her like she was nothing but the dirt under their expensive shoes. She sat there and she started crying and I saw how fast she moved to cover her face. She was embarrassed, her body temperature raising at a very alarming rate as she sat there and cried. The warning signs were clouding my judgement and I did something absolutely reckless...

But it felt right.

It felt right, watching them fall to the ground with a synchronized smack to the head by Gerard and Susie. They were beginning to get sick and scared of it all as well. I felt Lucy lean into me. I quickly moved my eyes down to her, her shoulders shook silently as she held herself. Her hands on her elbows as she pressed her forehead into my chest. Her warmth was uncomfortable since she was crying but welcomed either way.

"Thanks guys." Lucy's voice cracked but she held strong as she said it. She meant it greatly and she was forever grateful. How long has she been treated like this? Like a monster and like she caused her parents own depression? I grabbed her shoulder gently but firmly. She looked up into my eyes, I stared down into hers. I felt my need to protect her still present. I want to help her and keep her safe from everyone and everything.

"Are you ok?" Susie asks as she makes her way over. It's the first time I've truly heard her voice without Gerard in the way.

"Y-yeah... just very shaken." Lucy gulps lightly, I watch her face. She looks so worried and scared, her eyebrows furrowed as she gives the floor an 'Im so sorry' face.

"I'm sorry, I need to-need to calm down..." she moves away from me, making a rush of aggression force it's way into my system. Her parents hurt her so much that she can't stand to even be around me. I follow her, telepathically telling the other two that I will protect her. They nod and take the Williams to their rooms. I follow after Lucy in quick strides. I walk beside her, slowing my pace.

"Do you wish for me to leave you alone as well?" I ask her, wanting to see if she is ok with me being around her at the moment. I understand the need to be alone and to think. But I don't want her to get hurt again by anyone.

"No... no I like you with me. Let's go to my room... I just need to... I need time to calm down and sit. Listen to music. Something. Anything." She murmurs almost but kept her eyes forward. She speed walked to her room and once there and inside. She closes and locks the door. She flops onto her bed, on her back. She sighs and closes her pretty eyes. I come over to her side right away and sit down on the edge of the bed. She moves her head a little to look at me with one of her eyes, the blue one.

"Play your text by Sundial, please Conan." She told me. I nodded and quickly obeyed. I liked obeying her honestly. She never did anything to hurt me and all she has been is kind.

I started playing the song and she hummed along as she turned over on her back. She closes her eyes and grabbed my hand, squeezing it with such force that I was a little surprised by it. She must be really emotional at the moment.

"Do you want me to order Gerard and Susie to get you ice cream?" I ask.

"Not hungry." She stated plainly. I felt worry bloom in my chest and stretch slightly across my features, pulling a frown and narrowing my eyes at her.

"You have not eaten all day, Lucy." I point out. She gives a giggle that makes my heart flutter and stomach fills with flutters and ticklish feelings. What is it called...?

Butterflies in my stomach.

"Conan, are you worried about me?" She smugly looked into my eyes.

"Yes..." I murmured. I don't like admitting my feelings but she brings them out from me so easily. It's like coaxing out a dog with a treat. I'm the dog and she's the treat.

"Aw, Conan." She purred at me, making my whole body heat up. She has such an affect on me that I'm not sure how to calculate my survival percentage. She pulls me down beside her, I allow her since I am technically stronger than she will ever be. She curls up against me and leans up to nuzzle her face into my neck. I gulp silently and let her do as she pleases, I enjoyed her gentle touch.

"I think I'm in love with you, Conan..." she suddenly said.

I felt my eyes widen at her confession. I took a shaky inward breath and felt a shiver rise within me.

"I... love you too..." I responded a moment later. I wouldn't want her thinking I rejected her with silence. She sighs against me, sounding like she is relieved and I notice her stress lowering as her heart blazes.

"I like you as a deviant. You're so fucking cute." She laughs and I give a small proper smile, copying what I've seen her show me countless times.

If this is what it means to be human, I am never giving this up for anything.

(Lucy's POV)

I can't believe I told him. I can't believe he feels the same! I CANT BELIEVE I CALLED HIM FUCKING CUTE.

This is like a fucked up fairytale. Especially with my parents knocked unconscious and their thoughts will be taken away with just the right amount of force to the head. Jesus that sounds terrible. But Conan loves me! I finally found someone who actually knew me and loved me. This is perfect and I'm extremely tired, even tho I had woken up from a very long sleep before.

"Rest." Conan mumbled to me and kissed the top of my head. I let myself close my eyes against his heated up body. He could regulate his temperature.

I soon find myself falling asleep to the gentle thump of his heart.

(Conan's POV)

Once she is asleep. I gently get out from the bed, so stealthily that I manage not to wake her. I know Lucy is a very light sleeper but I am the most skilled Android at Cyberlife and here so I have enough skill and recognition not to wake her. I put some noise canceling headphones gently over her ears and lay a soft kiss on her forehead. The contact sent sparks up my whole body, I ignored them for now.

I left the room, hacking into her door then locking it after me, making sure Lucy can not escape even if she puts in the door's code. I leave into the arms and weapons room, James had kept and made this room to house all his precious toys. Can't wait to pay it forward. I grab a hand pistol. I leave to the master bedroom where James and Mary sleep. I enter the room, the door being left unlocked by Gerard and Susie. I hadn't told them my plan. They could get in the way and they were not in the room currently. I make my way to the father's bed side and stand over them. I narrow my eyes as I feel my anger bubble up in me. I raised the gun and cocked it expertly.

"This is for Lucy." I aimed and pulled the trigger twice.
