"I've got them to 50%!"

Connor turned his head to look at Y/N once she came barrelling out of the studio. Her face was glowing with such pure delight and joy that Connor almost forgot that she had looked exhausted a few hours before.

It was around afternoon, and the whole night and morning, Y/N had been wearing an unapproachable, exhausted expression on her face. Yet she never stopped working on the sensors. Connor would've asked if she would like anything, since he was helping around the house now since Y/N had allowed him to, but he hadn't. Mostly because he knew she would snap back at him angrily.

Connor preferred her like this. A glowing smile and an excited tone fit her well. It was a shame that he couldn't get her to smile that gleefully.

Why was he thinking about that? There was no point to it. It wasn't helping Connor...

Pushing away those irrelevant thoughts, Connor cleared his throat and fully turned to Y/N.

She still had that gleeful smile on her face.

"Really?" Connor asked. To be honest, he didn't expect her to reach that percentage so quickly. She truly was something.

"Yes yes yes!" Y/N yipped and hopped up and down. She was holding the sensors in her hands.

Connor stood quietly as Y/N ran up to him, ordered him to keep the sensors for a while and sprinted off to her studio. She came back with her laptop and then settled down onto the couch, beckoning Connor excitedly to sit in front of her.

He lifted his hand and showed his palm first.

Taking a deep breath, Y/N crossed her fingers. "Please please please. It's at 50% they better work!"

Exhaling, Y/N looked at Connor sternly. This was the first time he's seen her so stern.

"Okay, I'm going to try again, tell me if you feel anything, okay?" Y/N ordered him and started to prepare the sensors, glancing at him briefly to make sure he understood.

Connor looked at her and nodded. This was routine now. There was no need to tell him.

Like all the previous times, Y/N placed the sensors on his hand. The circles lit soft blue and then blended into Connor's skin, hiding any evidence that they were there in the first place.

Taking a deep breath, Y/N pressed a key on her computer and it started running through codes. Connor looked at the computer screen, but then moved his gaze back to Y/N once she placed her hands on his.

"Please please work," Y/N mumbled out desperately. She held Connor's hand firmly and closed her eyes. She looked like she was praying or doing something similar. Y/N then sighed and opened her eyes again.

Taking a small breath in, Y/N lifted her hands and prepared them to slap both sides of Connor's hand. Once they reached an altitude that would cause a sensation, Y/N muttered a countdown under her breath and then brought her hands down.

Like before, Connor didn't feel anything. Nothing seemed to be unusual.

Until something happened.

It came delayed, but Connor swore something had happened.

His eyes widened just slightly as he...felt something.
