Cant lose him (Reed900 Detroit Evolution Fanfic)

Chapter 3

After a few minutes of watching nines' eerily still form gavin had finally psyched himself up enough to head into the room, even though it took him even longer to get to the chair so that he could sit beside the downed deviant. He sighed quietly trying his hardest not to freak out, break down or burst into tears as he wrapped his head around what he wanted to say that wasn't harsh or stupid sounding, at some point tina had moved from her seat to watch the two of them "hey nines, we dont know where ada is" he starts quietly looking up at tina who just nods with a thumbs up, fuck he was already getting emotional over this " we really need you back, we dont have a clue what shes gonna do next, you can stop her but you gotta wake up" he says leaning forwards slightly so that tina didn't see how emotional he was getting.

Theres a quiet knock on the window that catches his attention, tina looks just as emotional as he feels but with a nod of her head, gavin knows what he needs to do. Taking a deep breath he nods back "okay, okay nines i need you" he says not looking at either tina or nines as he speaks from his heart for once "i need you to come back" he whispers in a desperate tone as he finally looks at the android in question, fuck this had to be one of the hardest fucking things he's ever had to do but now he's started he couldn't stop, leaning forwards he tentivly moves his hand towards nines' "i was the absolute worst to you when we met, im not suprised that chris and tina made bets on how long we'd kill each other" he let out a quiet chuckle at that as his eyes move to glance at tina.

He wasn't suprised to see that there was a fond emotional look on her face "but you stuck through it, gave me as much shit as i did" he can hear how fond his voice had become, he didn't give a shit at this point, only nines had stuck around long enough that all the shitty nicknames had turned from harsh and full of malice to something more fond, he couldn't stop looking at his partner now "at first all that shit was to piss you off but then that changed, i then did to cause its what we do" all the shit that once wound them up was now banter for them, it was what was normal for them.

Now his hand was over nines' and he couldn't help but squeeze it slightly hoping that nines would respond in some way to let him know he was listening, that he was still there somewhere in that weird mind of his "you're my partner, nines my best friend" he says closing his eyes as the tears were threatening to fall once more as he says one of the truest things about the person in front of him "you are this force, that i can't live with out nines, i don't wanna go back, i CAN'T go back to being without you" his hand tightens around nines' again as his thumb rubs over the androids knuckles as if trying to comfort him "come back to me nines" his emotions get the better of him so his voice is just a mere whisper now, yet that one small sentence holds every little thing hes feeling for the deviant.

All of a sudden the heart rate monitor that had become background noise to him starts making a higher pitched beeping sound, he imediatly looks between the machine and nines trying to figure out what changed, fuck please dont say he was losing him not after everything he'd just said! He moves his chair back "nines?" He asks in a panicked tone trying to see if he was waking up or having trouble with something other than his coding that they didn't know about, it seemed that when Gavin spoke again that time it settled what ever the fuck was going on "oh thank fuck" he whispers to himself as he hears the machine go back to how it had been sounding for the last 8 hours at this point.
