It was early morning, Lieutenant Hank Anderson was at the kitchen eating his cereal while checking his phone. The man realized the RK800 haven't came out of his room yet. It made him worried so he quickly finished the bowl and went to the android's room.
"It's 6:45, are you planning on going to work or not?" The old man knocked at the door.
"I'm coming-" Connor groggily answered back. In all honestly, he doesn't feel so good. But the android brushed it away like it was nothing. Probably just a bad morning.
"Okay, I already fed Sumo. So, don't worry.. I'll get prepared." Hank replied and walked away.
Connor walked out of his room lazily and went to the kitchen. He grabbed himself a small bottle of thirium and drank it straight. The brunette android glanced at the eating dog, he smiled a little.
The male android suddenly realizes the date as he double checks it on a calendar hanging by the fridge. It was his partners birthday.
The lieutenant seemed to forgot about it. So Connor brushed off the sickness or whatever that weird feeling was away, as he starts to think on how to surprise Hank.

"Sounds like a plan." Tina grinned as she heard the RK800's plan on surprising the old man. But the female police officer noticed something off about the android. "Connor, you look tired and pale. Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for the concern." Connor smiled weakly. He sure was not feeling well, but his partner's birthday goes first.
"Are we buying the cake or not?" Detective Reed hissed as he turns to Officer Chen.
"I'm coming, asshole." Chen sighed and glanced back at the android before leaving. "Catch you later."
Connor watch them leave as the other officers went out the break room and did like how they planned out.
Pretend that they forgotten about the old man's birthday. That was easy, because the lieutenant seemed to forgot about it also. The RK800 went back to his desk, but he was noticeably walking slower.
"Are you okay..?" Hank noticed the strange behavior and it made him concerned about his android partner.
"I'm fine, lieutenant." The brunette smiled faintly to the old police officer.
"You look pale, go home and rest." He added.
"No, I'm functioning well." Connor shook his head. But his LED suddenly blinked red.
"Your LED is telling a different story." The lieutenant stood up and check the android's temperature. "Oh f*cks sake, you're heating up-"
"Lieutenant- I am fine." The android insisted. "I just didn't had enough time to recharge myself."
"We're going home." The gray haired man replied.
That made Connor worry. He really wanted to surprise Hank. He doesn't care if he's sick or a virus is inside him. He wants to make his partner happy.
"I'm okay, don't worry.." Connor refused. "Its okay if we don't go home, I can still handle it."
Hank sighed. "I can't just let you work in that condi-"
"I insist.." The android cut him off. "We have a lot of paperwork to rush. I promise, once we finished this. I'll take a rest."
The lieutenant felt defeated with that begging eyes of his. "Fine.. But I'm not letting you on field, understood?"
"Got it, Hank." The male brunette grinned softly.
"Jeez.." His human partner smiled back and went back to his desk.
A few moments later, Detective Reed and Officer Chen came back with a box. Presumably the cake for the old man's surprise.
Connor saw them and gestured to just wait for his signal. But both officers noticed the male android's very tired eyes. He looked worst than earlier. It made Tina a bit concerned.
"Gav, he looks really sick." Chen muttered to her coworker.
"Than tin can? Cmon, Tina.." Gavin scoffed as he holds the cake. "So when will we do the happy birthday sh*t? I wanna take a bite of this cake so badly-"
"Wait for Connor's signal, ratface." She sighed and plucked the male's forehead resulting him to cuss.
The old police lieutenant was too busy working on his desk when suddenly the RK800 stood up wobbly and fainted.
Hank heard the loud thud and it made him panicked that his android partner was unconscious lying on the floor, his LED blinking a bright red. Everyone was frozen as they saw Hank carrying Connor and asking for help.
"I f*cking told you we're going home.-" Anderson exclaimed. "And you didn't listen!"
He quickly took Connor to the medical bay, because he really don't know where to bring the android. Hopefully the brunette will get the needed attention.
Every officer who knew about Connor wanting to surprise Hank was sadden and felt their heart sunk. The android really wanted this to work, but his system failed him. Even without the RK800's help, they'll still pursue the surprise.
"He just needs a recharge and he's low on thirium." A technician told the lieutenant.
Connor started to wake up. He flickered his eyes open and saw Hank's worried eyes.
"Hank I-"
The lieutenant bear hugged him. "Next time, when I f*cking told you to rest. You rest-! Got it?"
Connor froze and hugged him back.
Detective Reed cleared his throat to get their attention. Both looked at him as all of the officers in their department was behind the young male.
"What the hell you want Reed?" Hank hissed. "And why is everyone here..?"
"H-happy birthday, Hank." The RK800 smiled at him. "I wanted to surprise you, but I guess it didn't end well."
The police lieutenant smiled and looked at his coworkers. "Now I get it why you don't want to go home."
"Yes.." Connor muttered.
"Jeez.. You android." Hank chuckled. "Thanks... But this doesn't mean I'm not angry that you overworked yourself."
"I know.. My apologies." The RK800 replied.
"Can we eat the cake now?" Gavin but in.
"No, I'm taking it home with me." The lieutenant chuckled. "I'll ask for a day off."
"Uhhh for phcks sake." The detective gave the platter of chocolate cake to Tina and angrily walked out. "I'm f*cking starving.."
