Detroit: To Become Human, To Find Love.

Connor x Markus // Part 51 // Spooky Party!

(Halloween theme! Human, highschool AU, I warned you in the description that there will be noncanon one-shots ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

"A party?" Connor asked, perking his head up to Markus. Mark nodded with a smile. Connor returns his confused gaze at the invite. He opens the letter again, looking at the ghoulish ghost who sticks his tongue out. Blinking Connor looked at Mark with his baby brown eyes which made his friend blush softly.

"Y-Yeah! A party! It's Halloween theme so it's going to be fun" Mark beams with that casual smile that lights up the room only this time Connor blushed.

"O-ok! This seems really fun!" "As long as there are no drugs, alcohol nor-"

"Connor, I don't think any of that will be there" Mark chimes in, smiling warmly down at his friend. Connor nodded, keeping the card very close to himself as if it had a wonderful meaning to him so Markus makes a move, placing his hand around Connor's shoulder, looking at him. "This will be my first Party!" Connor smiled, looking up at Mark with a cheerful face. Connor was never really invited to parties or had many friends, he was never really excepted anywhere since he seemed to be as many students or kids say.. The good kid. The worst to be in high school if you are aiming to get teased and picked on by people who took their frustration out on those who are better. At least Connor had his younger brother Conan but even then he was hanging around Gavin and not such good crowds; Gavin wasn't a fan of Connor either, no one really was but then again Connor had Hank, his father. Hank loves Connor, maybe the only one who does or will that change at the party? Markus met Connor when meeting each other or rather bumping into each other in art class they seemed to be attached to each other. Inseparable! Like glue with paper, tear them apart and you goofed up big time. Markus wasn't anything special, he was a popular guy who seems to have a habit of changing people for the better, he liked helping people it was his hobby. He was a big guy with a soft heart. When Connor shuffled close to Mark, laying his head on Mark there was a spark the light up the burning passion deep into their hearts they kept hidden. Mark blushed, keeping Connor as close as possible; Mark didn't know when their moment would last, he didn't want Connor to return to his reality of being bullied or looked at funny, he didn't want that, he just wanted Connor happy for as long as they had.
"Connor..?" Mark asked, his tone shy, quiet.
"Yes, Mark?" Connor replied shortly, looking up at Mark. Mark had one minute stare before looking away
"Never mind, I can't wait until the party," Mark told him, looking back at Connor with a smirk. He chickens out again, he couldn't ask Connor out. Smirking back Connor nodded.
"Me too!" They sat together like that for a while, just them sitting on a bench at Park, watching the cliché sunset.

Time skip~

Connor hugs marks arm, staring at the house they were invited to, Connor swallowed hard. Sentence deep in him. When anxiety mixed with fear grabbed Connor by the tongue, he was speechless. Connor wasn't much of a panic person now since he's been through it all the time; the feelings, knowing it makes it less scary but he was only afraid what might happen to him if he goes in, will the jokes push him, will the girls gossip about him, will Mark leave for North once inside, leaving himself alone. Connor's eyes flickered as he tried to remember what Hank told him, something about... instead of not letting it take me down, tell yourself everything will be alright. Connor tried to remember.
"I'm a good person, I do good things, I have a heart full of love" Connor whispered to himself, in a tiny unsure voice. "There is a massive- small- a-a world full of good people" Connor takes in a big breath. "Ok, I'm ready!"
"Oh, good!" "You look cute tonight... What are you supposed to be again?" Mark asked curiously, looking down at Connor.
"An android detective" Connor mumbled, repeating himself to Markus for the last dozen time. Markus laughed to himself, remembering.
"Oh right, I forgot- well, you look really cute as an android detective" complimented Mark, Connor blushed, looking away.
"No, I don't!"
"Yeah you do" Mark ended the conversation, holding Connor's hand which resulted in Connor getting a huge red blush on his face, looking away. Mark giggled, he liked to see the smaller one flustered it wasn't fun to see, it was amazing to see. The two awkward teens walk into the bustling party, fake spider webs here and there, streamers hung up it was your typical teenage party, Halloween themed. They end up together socializing with others; Mark was the speaker, Connor was just quiet. Sometimes they ended up by the food table, talking each other, having fun, talking. there was music so some people danced like how mark and Connor danced, it became midnight so a few teens left, only North who was the host was left along with Simon, Josh, Mark, Connor and Jerry, Ralph. Seven kids, so without the evening left to waste, North plots a scheme; grabbing an empty beer bottle, placing it on the ground with that wicked mischievous smile of hers.
"EVERYONE GAVER AROUND" North shouts. "WE'RE GOING TO PLAY... SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN" North looks slowly at Connor, flashing her terrifying eyes. With a frightened face, Connor retreats behind Mark, holding tight to his outfit. Everyone looked at each other, none of them really wanted to do it in case they had to kiss someone that wasn't their own, especially Simon and Jerry, they didn't want to kiss anyone since they are secreted highschool lovers. But. they all had to since North paid them earlier to do it since North wanted to kiss Mark and only Mark they also didn't want to get beaten by her so in defeat they circle nervously around the bottle. Mark didn't like this, he didn't want Connor kissing anyone or Connor getting kissed. Connor was yes, a lip virgin which in meaning, he's never been kissed. Mark wanted to be the one to, he really did, he didn't want to steal a kiss; he just wanted to ask him out, maybe when the time is right, kiss him then. Mark sighed, looking at Connor next to him, only hope now can save them.
"Markus" North began, nodding to the bottle with a smile. "You go first" North happily offered not that it was an offer more of a command which makes Mark sigh, towering over the bottle, taking a quick swing he sat back down, closing his so he doesn't have to look who it might be. Soon there was a surprised gasp from North, angered now. The bottle landed on Connor. Connor was blushing to look around crazy at the stares, Mark soon fluttered his two different colour eyes open. Slowly looking up at the bottle he traced its direction to Connor, blushing the same amount as Connor.
"Well.. Would you like to..?" asked Mark, offering his hand to Connor, Mark didn't need to finish his sentence for Connor to happily hold his hand. So, they sat in a closet, just them and them alone. It was dark; you could peer through the door of the cupboard and see that they all left the circle to have a drink or even eat something. It was awkward.
"uhm" began Mark, biting his lower lip. He remembered Simons encouraging words, taking in a breath, Mark grabs Connors hands now facing him but not looking at him. "Would you like to go out with me?" Markus quickly asked, closing his eyes on fright. Connor was shocked at first soon he smiled happily, he waited for this moment his whole life. An excited Connor quickly kissed Markus, pouncing on him before. Arms tight around his neck.
"Yes, yes I will date you!" Happily exclaimed Connor, kissing Mark on the lips once more. Markus, shocked had smiled wide, wrapping his arms tightly around Connor. Mark kissed him back. This would have to be the best party Connor has ever been to.
