Chapter 16

{[×] Connor's bed}

"I'll just sleep in your bed with you again." I smiled softly to Connor, starting to head towards the bedroom. I glanced back slightly and noticed Connor was following me.

"My bed?" He asked. I nodded. "Do you want some clothes to change into?"

"Please?" I asked, stopping once we were in his bedroom.

He rushed to his closet, pulling out a hoodie and sweatpants for me. I took them and put them on the bed, beginning to unbutton the white dress shirt Connor had let me use today. He didn't seem to realize what I was doing until I had began to slip the loose clothing off my shoulders and exposed the black straps of my bra. I froze when I heard a shout and turned to look over at Connor.

"What are you doing?!" He shouted, rushing over and pulling the shirt back on me. I looked at him in confusion.

"I thought we were on good enough terms that I could change in front of you. I trust you." I told him, seeing his panicked gaze soften as he removed his hands from my shoulders.

"Go ahead and change." He muttered, heading over to his closet and getting himself a pair of sweat pants from his dresser.

I resumed removing the shirt and then proceeded to unbutton the pants. Once it was unbuttoned, I let the pants fall to my ankles and stepped out of them. I kicked off my heels and grabbed the large hoodie, pulling it on. It fell down to about mid thigh on me. I tried to put on the sweat pants, but they simply fell to my ankles. They didn't fit so I picked them up and folded them, handing them to Connor. Connor was in a pair of sweat pants, that was all he had on. I handed over the clothes and Connor looked at me in surprise.

"Why aren't you wearing the pants I gave you?" I smiled softly, unable to help myself from gazing down at his built torso.

"They don't fit." I told him, watching as he nodded and took them.

"Did you try adjusting them using the adjusting strings?" He showed the string, I shook my head in denial. "Whatever, it's too late now. I don't want to have to help, I'm tired."

"The bags under your eyes make that extremely obvious." I laid down in the bed, watching as Connor crawled in next to me. I calmly watched him as he began to fall asleep, I'll admit that it's creepy but I just want to protect him.

"Could you try sleeping more like a human?" He asked, staring tiredly at my stiff form.

"Would you like me to imitate human breathing while I'm at it?" I sassily scoffed.

He sighed, wrapping his arms around my waist and causing me to turn onto my side. He pulled me close to him, making my pump skip a beat.

"That's better. Just relax, and sleep." He hummed softly, nuzzling my hair.

I smiled softly, holding back a laugh. I don't actually sleep, I use that resting period to recharge. I didn't protest though, wrapping my arms around Connor and resting my head against his bare chest. He relaxed in my hold, my internal systems heating my body to mimic human body warmth. He nuzzled my hair as he fell asleep and I kept an eye on his vitals. With contact, I'm able to feel his heartbeat and body state without having to run any scans. I felt him inhale and shivered slightly as he pressed his nose in my hair slightly, but his positive reaction to my scent made me feel somewhat relieved.

I felt my systems slow down slightly and rest my optical units so that I wasn't wearing them down since they already were so broken. I felt Connor pull my closer but ignored it and had a tab open that showed me all vitals and body status of him as he slept, not getting any notifications as my system still recharged but running the tab in the background and slowing the charging.

I stared at my clock and kept count of the time as I felt shifting a few hours later. It wasn't time for Connor to get up yet. The tabs I had up cut off with an error as I felt warmth leave my side. I started up quickly and opened my eyes to look at Connor. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, holding his head in his hands and panting slightly. He must've had a nightmare, his body sweating and shaking as he made a groaned of annoyance. I got my glasses and put them on, crawling over to Connor and gently wrapping my arms around his waist. I rested my head on his shoulder in a comforting manner as he looked down but relaxed a bit in my hold and looked back at me.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked, earning a pained look from Connor. His face didn't show it, but his eyes gave him away. His brown hues darkened slightly with an unknown emotion to me and he rested a hand on my arms, leaning his head gently against mine while soft tears welled up in his eyes.

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." He sighed, smiling slightly. He seemed to be a bit happier now, continuing to lean into my hold in comfort.

"We still have another three hours until work, let's get some more sleep. It's unhealthy for you to keep living off energy drinks at work." I told him. He laughed softly and used a hand to rub away his tears.

"We could do something else to pass the time." Connor offered, his voice deepening with this unknown emotion. I gave him a confused look, not understanding what he is referring to.

"I don't understand the reference you are making." I told him, giving him a confused stare. His eyes cleared back up and he gave me a slightly look of adoration.

"You're so innocent. Sure, let's get some sleep." He smiled, letting me back up before turning around and watching as I crawled back to where we had laid before. I put the glasses back on the side table and relaxed.

I laid down and felt a slight chill on my stomach, making me look down to see that the hoodie had ridden up. I didn't care, but Connor was staring at my stomach intensely. He crawled over and laid next to me, wrapping his arms around me again. I wrapped my arms and legs around him, becoming a tangled of limbs as he relaxed with me. We fell back asleep, me keeping a tab on Connor's physical state and Connor dreaming peacefully. By the time the three hours were up, I ran all of my systems and opened my eyes. I ran a hand through Connor's hair and trailed a finger along his chest to calmly wake him. He hummed and I watched as his eyes fluttered open. His eyes looked down at me and he smiled drowsily.

"Morning." He hummed, untangling himself as I removed my arms from around him.

"Mornin'." I greeted back, my voice low so that I wasn't too loud and wakening. "We have an hour and thirty minutes before we have to clock into the station. I figured you'd like me to make you some breakfast."

"That sounds wonderful, (Y/n)." Connor smiled and kissed my forehead, making me flush a light blue. He laughed softly as I stared at him blankly with a blue flush.

I got up and fixed the hoodie, putting on my glasses. I gave Connor a kiss on the cheek and left the room, going into the kitchen. I opened a cabinet and saw that there was food in it now. Hank must've gotten some last night. I looked between everything Hank got that was healthy. I don't know what to make Connor.
