Detroit: To Become Human, To Find Love.

Leo x RK900 //Part 49 // Caught Red Handed!

For InkyRebelTargaryen

Detroit. 30/9/2039 12:39 AM, Midnight.

As midnight comes trailing down the sky, swallowing it to a deep starry night, everything now is forgotten but not for Detroit, not for the street nor the path that a specific RK900 android walked on. One hand groceries, wearing only a turtleneck with jeans. (And of course shoes). It was surprisingly quiet tonight, only a few cars here and there that passed by. The midnight had fallen like a rich blanket of velvet of a colour black; swallowing the sky. The day was drained from its colours to a nothing at all now only having that black that Conan seemed to admire, he didn't look away from the small gap of a clear sky. Twinkling stars, glowing bright which made Conan smiled slightly at the sky, calm. It was a nice night. It was cold, silent, the air tasted like ice it smelt like ice. The floors froze so it may have hinted the ice descriptions. Continuing to walk down the street path to his apartment, Conan was merely happy about his break tomorrow he was just disappointed that he can't work since he was a workaholic. His night started out quiet, then he paused, slowly looking over at the alley next to him to spot two people chatting. With a tilted head his LED flickered, alarming the two men.

"Shit, it's an RK900... you're on your own dude" the one other said as he sprints off, shoving some money into his pocket. Conan looked back the other who made a dash down the alley as if that wasn't a dumb idea. Conan blinked before he jolted into action, even if Conan was on break, he didn't want criminals to get away, not in front of his eyes. Still holding his bag of groceries he sprints down the dark alleyway, taking a leap over a bin that the man Conan was chasing had thrown, running now until Conan hits a Corner, slowing down was the objective to catch up to him, the slowing down before he hit that corner was a success, he was only four feet away from the scum. For that scum, the alleyway ends so with anger he cussed, hitting the wall with his foot. Conan was watching him, behind him now; not a few feet away along with holding his grocery bag that still contained his belongings, nothing was dropped not even a tear to the rubber bag.

"Sir. You are under arrest for the suspension of a drug deal" Conan sternly informed, he paused when the scum turned around to face him. Conan blinked analysing his face.

Leo Manfred is known for his criminal record on assault, drug dealing.

Conan felt struck, his feet frozen as he stares into the eyes of deep broken brown. When Leo stared back at the android, pinned into a corner every ounce of breath from his lungs were flushed out, his last breath floating into the icy air to only evaporated, disappear like a midnight smoke. The two were left to wonder, but they couldn't. It was quiet as they both stares at each other was this falling in love? It couldn't be, could it? Both of their hearts thumping, heated faces with a wonder of interest for each other. In their silence there were sirens, in the midst of the background, Conan cocked his head to the sound. Leo let out his held in a breath, he made yet again a stupid decision; he made a sprint, trying to run for it but Conan was fast grabbing his wrist before the boy ran. Conan shot a look to him.

The next day.

Conan stared blankly at Leo, staring into his very soul almost. But the android couldn't help it, he felt if he looked away then he'd miss something, what he'll miss he didn't know. Was it just that or did Conan feel emotions like he hasn't had before, he just couldn't stop feeling this deep knot in his belly that gets tighter, deeper. It didn't help when he also felt butterflies in his gut. The room was quite, filling in awkwardness than anything else. Leo with furrowed eyebrows looked away, clearing his breath as he scratched the back of his hand.

"Uhm... so. Are you just going to stare at me or are you going to explain why you are keeping me in your apartment? " Leo rudely asks, looking at Conan with an impatient look, he sighed annoyingly when Conan only blinked for a response.

"I want out" Leo demands, crossing his arms. Conan managed to shift his eyes down, looking at the makeshift bed he had given Leo for the night.

Black for the sheets, the blankets all black but the pillowcases that were plain white. Conan was a modern type, so his apartment was decked out to be this modern furniture place, it was nice. Soon Conan's gifted blue eyes glance at Leo's darker, brown eyes.

"No... Do you want me to hand you in?" Conan inquired, gripping his jeans tight. Conan was sitting at the foot of the bed. Watching Leo in his sleep as he did every night. This isn't the first time that Conan and Leo meant, there is history with them. I suppose it all started when they actually first meant. It was a typical Detroit night, Leo got caught dealing drugs, brought into the police station for his usual interrogation. Leo wasn't going to crack up, no pun intended so they got Conan to deal with the young troublemaker. Eventually, the two became friends, Conan developed not just software instability but developed great feelings for him, feeling which Conan should not feel towards Leo so the results were Conan always helped Leo out, covering for him, giving him an alibi, interfering with evidence; Conan would do anything for Leo. Anything especially watching him in his sleep. Last night in the alleyway seemed a bit different from so many others, Leo didn't want to get caught by Conan, he seemed dazed, he was quiet too which wasn't normal. Leo was caught by surprise when Conan crawled to him, shoving the weaker tone down on the bed, towering over him. Leo sported a blush, a right red as he tried to push Conan away from him but that was to no avail. It never worked because Conan had pinned him down, pinning his hands above Leo's head. The android blinked again, hearing Leo swear at him, feeling him push and struggle around under him. He could smell and taste the eagerness in Leo, the anger and frustration. He smiled at him, at how weak Leo was, how precious he looked under the morning sun rays. Conan blinks before he spoke.

"I caught you red-handed again."

"Yeah? And?" Leo spat at him, frowning along with glaring, he wasn't happy. "Get off you freak!" barked Leo, kicking his legs around even though it was pointless.

"We made a deal"

"What fucking deal?" Leo growled, stopping in actions, looking up at him.

"That if you stay here for a while you won't be on the streets sniffing out drugs nor meeting people unless telling me. You never told me and I let you stay, buying your groceries, buying you things out of my money to protect you..." Conan pressed, staring deeply into Leo's frighten browns with numb pools of blue. "You broke that. You are avoidant of me... why?" Leo stared at him for a straight minute before looking away, chewing on his bottom lip. "Why?" Conan pressed, holding tight to Leo's wrists. The pain was enough to make Leo squeaked out in pain, squirming once again under Conan.

"I don't know! I like you!" Leo yelled, facing Conan now. Staring eye to eye now both of their hearts skipping a beat, blood rushing everywhere, one face was bright one face was bright blue.

"If you like me... why do you use me?" Conan asked, no emotion. Blank and blunt.

"I just... I don't know! It's what I do... I hurt the people I love..." Leo quietly admits to Conan, setting limp as a depressed look laid upon his face. "Why not just keep hurting people when all I do is hurt?"

"You don't have to hurt, you just need to change something"

"Like? What can I change so I don't have to hurt people?"

"Don't use them, respect them... change your habit... Get yourself help-"

Leo managed to punch Conan in the cheek, making a huff as he kept in his rug

"Shut up you shit can... I don't need help, I don't need help you just need to not care about me-" Leo was caught off guard when Conan kissed him lightly, returning another kiss to silence Leo's groan. "a-argh-"

"I care. I want to care. Shut up... you childish human"
