Y/n's POV

Alex was arrested, and when we arrived back at the station, he was thrown into a jail cell, where he'd be kept until interrogation tomorrow morning.
It was 11:00 p.m. after I left the station, went to my Dad's house, fed Sumo and put dad to bed, and I finally arrived home.
When I did, I was exhausted, my bra felt loose, and when I got home, I didn't say a word to my partner as I changed cloths.

I didn't even say goodnight to Nines, I let Buddy in the room, turned off the lights and crawled into bed, curling up like a kitten. My mind has glued the memory of Alex touching me inappropriately into my brain, and will probably never leave.

Nines' POV
(Fucking finally lol)

I wanted to say something. Anything at all to comfort my partner, I felt my programming pushing me forward, making me take small steps forward to her bedroom door.
I rested my hand on the door knob, before turning it gently, I peeked into the dark room with my glowing eyes.
Buddy saw me and jumped off the end of the bed to dance at my feet as I stepped in the dark room, closing the door behind me.

She didn't wake up, thankfully. I carefully made my way towards where she slept, watching her. But not in the creepy way, more like the, "You are beautiful and must be watched" way, but if you put those exact words into your head, or say them aloud, it just sounds weird and creepy.
I knelt beside where she slept, studying her face, my LED flashing blue as I analyze her.
It's something about these feelings I experience, and I start wondering, am I going to turn into a deviant because of her? Should I let it happen?

While I'm thinking this, I lean close to her face, thinking about kissing her cheek or something, but I feel a strong wall holding me back from doing it.
I don't quite understand, I was all over her lips and neck earlier. Maybe that's just because it was so we didn't get caught.
But now that I'm not being forced to kiss her, I can't do it.

I put my hand on the red wall that had shown up between us.

Kiss?

I take my hand away from the wall and it disappears, I feel like I could easily break it. But... I am truly afraid of what will happen to me if I do.
But doesn't fear already make me a deviant?

I growl and jerk my head away from her, I clench my fists briefly, LED flashing yellow. You will not give in, you are not the RK800, you are smarter, and better. Do not become deviant for a human.
I stand up, my LED going back to a contented blue. I lay myself down next to her, feeling the urge to wrap my arms around her waist, and bring her closer, but then a red wall appears.

Comfort?

No. No I can't afford to break the walls.

Give in?

No.
