Small Beginnings

Fourth Mission: Undetermined

After searching the area around the last bus stop, the detective and the android found an abandoned house, a motel, a laundromat, a store, and an abandoned car. The duo decided it would be best to search the house first.

I walked into the building in front of the detective, and suddenly recalled how similar this felt to something before. I paused for a second, trying to remember what the memory was from, but I heard from Gavin, "Get a move on tin can!"

Gavin didn't know what went through the android's mind, but he did know what went through his own, and he didn't know what to think of it. Last night, he had a dream for the first time in months that wasn't a nightmare about his past, but it had Nines in it, pinning him against a wall and making out with him. He woke up soon after, wondering what the hell was happening.

I blink and keep walking again, figuring that know wasn't the time to try to remember where the odd memory came from, when I suddenly entered a room with an android in it, who was in rather rough condition. The android instantly looked at me, almost terrified. "Ralph has more visitors? Such an odd occurrence for Ralph!"

Gavin heard an android talking that wasn't Nines, but he figured Nines had the situation under control, so he walked upstairs, deciding that it wouldn't hurt to look around up there. He came across a bathroom and decided to look take a look around. He found a removed LED on the edge of the sink, picking it up. "I didn't know these could be removed..." He mumbled under his breath.

He looked up at the mirror and sighed slightly, setting the LED back down. Gavin could've sworn that once he closed his eyes and looked down that Nines came in the room, wrapping his arms around his waist, and quietly says, "You know, I had a dream too..." But when he opened his eyes slightly there wasn't anything there, making him very confused.

I looked at the android calmly, and asked, "Ralph, where did the two go? I won't hurt you I swear." Ralph hesitated, before saying, "Ralph let them out the back door, but Ralph doesn't know where they went."

Gavin laughed slightly, shaking his head. "Jesus... first you dream about that plastic prick, then you think he's fucking flirting with you..." He says quietly, closing his eyes again. He thinks about how strongly gentle the android's embrace would be, knowing that Nines isn't in the room now, and he thinks about what it would be like to even have the android as close to him as he thought a moment ago.

"Thank you Ralph. I appreciate your honesty." I say calmly to the broken android, who nods sharply, looking away. "Can Ralph be alone now? Ralph isn't used to so many visitors in such little time." I can't help feeling like I should smile at the android, with how innocent he sounds, but I say, "Yes, you will be alone now. I just need to get my partner and we'll be on our way."

As Gavin's thoughts slowly got more sexual than he would've originally appreciated, he could tell he definitely felt something for that damn android. He wanted - no, he needed - Nines to pin him to a wall, or the floor, or wherever, and just let the android do whatever it wanted to him. He could tell he was getting hard from it, but he didn't care.

I walked up the stairs, looking around for Gavin, thinking that if I were to say something that I'd take him by surprise due to how silent the house is. I start to walk down a hallway when I hear a faint noise, causing me to stop in my place, listening.

It sounded similar to a sigh, but the words in it were unmistakable. It was Gavin, saying, "Fuck me harder Nines..."  I instantly felt my software get more unstable as I processed what he meant. I could've sworn I felt my face get warmer as I quietly walked closer to the room I thought it came from.

I approached a worn down bathroom, listening carefully to what was being said. I realized something as I stood there: Gavin had... feelings... for me. Seeming to be mainly sexual feelings from what I could determine. I hesitated as I thought I should knock on the door frame, thinking that if I did, I would make Gavin very... upset with me, so I walked a few feet away, back by the stairs, and said calmly, "Detective Reed I know where the deviant went. Where are you?"

Gavin flinched when he heard Nines slowly approaching, clearly searching for him. He quickly tried to make it seem as though he hadn't been doing anything aside from just looking around, noticing how much he was blushing, and he silently swears before saying, "I'm over here tin can."
