Detroit: Become Human; Scenarios

Machine Conner x Keeley: Hanahaki (Request)

Keeley knew she loved the android, but it was unrequited love. Sitting at her desk, she ran her hands through her brown hair as her crystalline blue eyes wandered the document in front of her. There was a sharp scratch and she coughed into her hand.

"Wha... What's this?" Tulips had fallen into her hands. What was happening to her? Before she started coughing any further, she made a break for the female bathroom and locked herself in a stall. It was painful beyond measure and her blue eyes littered with tears. Her bag was still under her desk, and so was her phone. She needed help, but what would the staff think if an officer had started coughing flowers?

"I'll just have to ca-" she coughed violently and more tulips had fallen to the floor. Tears dropped and she collected the flora. Running out and past Connor, of all people, she trashed the flowers and downed her drink in no time. Deep breaths, but her mind was spinning. Why was she coughing up flowers?

"Do you need assistance Miss? My scans show you are in a great deal of pain." It was him, the source of her unrequited love. Connor helped Keeley up off of the chair and tilted his head so they could look each other in the eye. Keeley squeaked out a thank you and fiddled with her hands. 'She's so...cute when she does that. She, she means something to me'

Keeley had finally built enough courage to try and confess, but she dropped to her knees, coughing out an entire bushel of tulips onto the floor.  Covering her face in her hands, she kept her head to the floor. Too embarrassed to face her love interest.

"Do you have Hanahaki Keeley?" Connor bent down and took her hands in his hesitantly. It was cold, but Keeley didn't mind. She raised an eyebrow, she'd never heard of 'Hanahaki' before.

"What is it?"

"Hanahaki disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient throws up and coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals. "  'I wonder who the person is, it can't be me, I'm just a machine'  Keeley's eyes darted around the station, avoiding Connor's soft but stern gaze, it was mesmerizing, but looking would just give her away.

Connor had taken her into a quieter space and took her hands again. "Is it me, Keeley?"

"Uh...how, how did you know? " Her voice was barely a whisper, but Connor had heard her perfectly. He wanted to tell her that as of recent, there was something for her as well. Taking in a 'breath', he leaned in and gave her a small peck, not long enough to be classed as a kiss, but just long enough that Keeley's face had turned beetroot red.

"I must confess, I have also started having feelings for you Keeley. May we talk over this in the cafe?" Keeley just nodded, still blushing heavily. She hadn't noticed that she hadn't been coughing up any tulips.

"I'd love to. My coughing's gone too"

"That's a relief"
