Fuck Life

Chapter 17: Fucking Finally

Hank didn't talk to Connor that day since they had to go on a mission. In the next day, only Connor showed up in the morning. Hank only showed up after first break and was obviously trying to avoid Connor again. So, Gavin makes eye contact with Hank saying "you better fucking talk to him you piece of shit I had to endure you pining over him for the last few days and I can't take it anymore"

Hank pauses walking to look at Gavin with the "do I really have to" face.

Gavin mouths "do it or I'm gonna tell him"

Hank sighs.

"Hey Connor?"

"Yes, Lieutenant?"

"Can we uh... talk outside?"

"Yes, of course Lieutenant."

Hank was finally talking to Connor.

Fantastic.

Suddenly, Conan gets up and starts to walk out.

"Conan! Where are you going?"

"I am going to go see Connor and Hank's conversation."

"What the heck? You can't just do that!"

"Why not?"

"They're having a private conversation!"

"So?"

"So you shouldn't bother them."

"But I would not be bothering them. I am merely going to watch and listen in on their conversation without them noticing."

"Well you should respect their privacy."

"They never gave command for people to not listen to their conversation. Don't you want to know what is happening?"

Gavin stays silent.

Conan walk out but Gavin's remained on his seat because he is a good person who controls his desire to respect another person's privacy. Yep... not going to listen... nope... not at all...

...

Fuck it.

Gavin walks outside where he is quickly met with Conan who is a giant the wall of the building, peaking through the alleyway.

When Conan notices Gavin coming, he gives Gavin a smug smile. Gavin grudgingly stand beside Conan and listens on.

"What would you like to talk about Lieutenant?"

"You can drop the title, it's not about work."

Connor stares at Hank. Hank keeps eye contact with Connor before looking away.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry for how I treated you recently."

Connor doesn't reply.

"I understand if you don't accept my apology but I just wanted you to know that I am sorry."

"Why did you ignore me Hank?"

Connor looked hurt and frustrated.

A sense of guilt seems to have hit Hank.

"I'm sorry."

"You're not answering my question Hank."

Connor came a few steps closer to Hank with his brows frowning.

"I was scared alright! I was fucking scared."

"Then what were you so afraid of that you avoided me? Did you change your mind about what you said? Were you afraid that I'd try to pursue you? Is that what it is Hank?"
