"I don't trust you when you're cooking with those sensors on."

"Why not?" Connor asked, he turned to face her. "I'm not going to get hurt."

"Last time you touched a burning hot frying pan handle because you forgot! You think I'm going to let that slide so easily?" Y/N scoffed and glared at him. She had her arms crossed and waited for him to look at her again since he had turned his attention back to the pan.

"I'll be more careful," Connor told her, still not looking at her. "I know how much it hurts now so I'll be more cautious from now on."

"If you burn yourself again, those sensors are banned from you for a day, do you understand?" Y/N threatened him, but apparently, Connor didn't believe her.

A teasing smile adorned his face and he turned to face her. His brown eyes flashed with a playfulness so childish like that Y/N couldn't help but scoff. However, somewhere inside her, she liked seeing how full of emotion those two brown eyes were being filled with.

"Are you going to take them from me?" Connor asked her, his smile had gone and his tone was neutral. But the playfulness in his eyes didn't leave.

Y/N narrowed her eyes and lowered her tone, "I will if you burn yourself. I promise I will."

Connor faked an impressed look, which aggravated Y/N a bit. He smiled and then looked back down at the pan on where he was cooking Y/N's food. "I'd like to see you try."

"I swear, Connor-" Y/N grumbled, her tone growing with irritation.

"Calm down," Connor told her gently and then out of nowhere, with his free hand, he unbuttoned his white shirt.

Y/N froze as she watched him unbutton his white shirt casually with his free hand. When a few buttons were open, he reached down to his chest and then pulled out the sensors. He didn't flinch, he didn't wince, just pulled them out casually.

When he was done, he held them in his hand for a while as he moved the food from the frying pan onto the plate. Y/N was fixated on Connor's open shirt, she was still shocked that he would've done that in front of her.

"Here," Connor outstretched his hand with the sensors. He moved them slightly, inviting Y/N to take them. Y/N stood still, finally moving her eyes off his chest and watching him hold those sensors in front of her. She didn't expect him to take them off. And neither did she expect him to just leave his shirt open like that.

"Why...are you giving me these?" Y/N took them into her hand and looked at him, trying to get her eyes to stay on his, not at the unbuttoned section of his shirt that was revealing his chest.

"Well, I figured that it'll be best if I don't worry you further and just let you take them," Connor shrugged and then returned back to the plate with Y/N's food on it. He picked it up and then looked at Y/N, asking her silently to move out of the way.

Y/N's eyes moved to the food. The alluring aroma of breakfast entered her nostrils and she almost let out a hum of satisfaction. It smelled delicious. But once she was done being distracted by the food, she turned back to look at Connor and her eyes got locked onto his chest for a few seconds.

A flustered sound left her mouth as she noticed she was staring for too long and then finally, she moved aside. Connor thanked her, with a dip of his head and a smile and walked toward the dining table. He gently settled down Y/N's plate and her mug with her favourite hot drink.

Y/N walked over to the table in a hurry, mostly because the smell of her freshly cooked food was pulling her over there, but also because she kind of wanted to catch a glimpse at Connor's unbuttoned shirt. But she didn't want to admit to that.
