Cant lose him (Reed900 Detroit Evolution Fanfic)

Chapter 4

He stayed with nines for almost 2 hours, just holding his hand as he spoke about all kinds of weird shit just hoping that the android could hear at least some of what he was saying, eventually everything just got too much for him and he had to leave "stay here, i don't want him to be alone if he somehow wakes up" he says as he stops in front of tina, at this point he just needed to get away and focus on something else. So heading back to the precint at 11pm seemed like the best possible idea, he was genuinly suprised to see Chris was still there as he logged into his terminal.

It seemed that chris wasnt at all suprised to see him though as he came over and logged onto the terminal at the other side of him, over the course of an hour and a half he ended up putting face recognition onto speed camera's trying to see if ada was out and about "chris! I got something" he says finding her on four different camera's within 15 minute time frames, his sudden yell had startled the man as he knocked over a stack of paper and the coffee he was about to drink "damn it gavin! What is it?' He asks in a startled yet annoyed tone "ada is in the shipping District" there's a quiet sigh from the man as he rubs his face "look i know you wanna help nines, but i dont think theres much we can do" he says turning to face him looking even more tired than usual.

Shaking his head gavin mutters "i know we cant wake him up, but there must be a way to find ada our selves!" He notices Chris mutters something under his breath as he turns away for a couple of seconds but turns back to him as gavin tries to figure out how to explain what was going on in his head "i thought she had put the stolen parts on herself but why would she get the software last?" He asks to see if his friend was catching on to what he was saying, he watches chris' eyes widen as he puts two and two together "she must have a body somewhere, the only question is where. She wouldn't leave it at new jericho" bingo, Chris had finally gotten the same thought as he had.

Now they had to figure out how the fuck to find her "the shipping district is a 10 mile radius" chris mutters as he types something into his terminal, gavin had no idea what the man was trying to find as the two of them just got more and more confused and irritated "you wanna go knocking door to door?" He asks as that irritation floods over, before he can come back with the snarky come back on the tip of his tongue a familiar voice is heard "i can help with that" holy fuck he must be dreaming, he stiffens as he hears Chris say the androids name but ever so slowly gavin turns and looks towards the door, holy fuck nines is actually standing there!

He notices tina standing beside him smiling and relaxes as she did as he asked, nines didn't wake up on his own "hey chris wanna get some coffee?" she asks in an amused teasing tone that he knows is aimed in his direction, he's not entirely sure why the other man is quiet for so long but he also couldnt give a fuck, his eyes were drawn to nines and he just couldn't look away, his best friend was awake he was so close yet so far! Thankfully chris and tina eventually leave the room both letting out excited laughs as they went "distracting yourself with work at two am, now i know you missed me" nines says as he slowly gets closer, what the entire fuck.

He blinks multiple times before moving forwards 'you undead asshole!" He says in a shakey tone, how in the fuck was he here right now? Why hadn't tina told him the second the fucker woke up?! He continues staring in disbelief "how'd you wake up?!" He demands getting even closer to the android, almost close enough to touch "i heard you, your voice broke through" he hears nines says with a smile in his tone, oh fuck he heard everything! He moves back as nines moves closer "a force you can't live without?" He asks quietly causing gavin to shake his head "i... I hate you" he whispers without really meaning it and he genuinly hopes nines knows that as well "you love me" nines says as he moves so that hes right in front of him, his voice sounds so happy and fond that he can't help but look up as tears of happiness well up in his eyes, holy shit he knows!

Even though he had heard the love and admiration in nines' tone, gavin still couldn't believe this was even happening. As he shakes his head he notices movement just below his eye line, holy shit nines' hand had turned white again why was it always doing that? Ignoring his curiosity he reached out for it instead, holy fuck it's actually strangely warm and smooth. For a few seconds he focused on that before nines turned his hand over and carefully touched his wrist, he watched in fascination until the android reached his other hand up to gently caress the side of his face, for a few seconds gavin nearly pulled himself away getting overwhelmed with it all but nines' touch was light almost as if he was imagining it.

Nines was actually here, he opened his eyes to look at him though he had to blink away the tears for a few seconds before leaning in to kiss him. It was unlike anything he'd felt before, nines' lips were suprisingly soft and even though the kiss itself felt urgent and heavy it was the best damn thing he had ever felt in his life. Pulling away he couldn't help the breathless chucklr that escaped before saying "what dipshit programmed you to do that?" as he leans his forehead against nines, what he didn't expect was for nines to be so god damn snarky as he replies "im the most advanced model ever made" of all fucking times for the android to remind him of that and he chooses right this fucking second?!

He pulls away rolling his eyes "you are such a fucking prick" he says trying to hide the smile that was fighting its way onto his face, damn it why did he have to such weird shit in the most funniest ways possible? Whilst he was fighting his smile, nines was outright grinning in a way gavin had never seen before, hes fucking gorgous like this "takes one to know one" he teases back and as gavin grabs onto the hoddie he's wearing something occurs to him when it feels strangely familiar "this is my jacket" he says rather comfused as to where he got it from in a space of the 10 minute ride from cyberlife to the precint, nines chuckles quietly before nodding "you left it at cyberlife and they didn't have my clothes" he couldn't help but laugh along with him before the android looked around the room "looks like you've been making progress without me" he can only hope the android is impressed with what they managed to find in a small amount of time.

With out thinking gavin leans in again and this time their kiss is slow and tender, he relishes the feeling before pulling away. Nines stares at him with such a sweet expression for a few seconds before movement from outside the room catches their attention and there stands Chris looking so god damn shocked gavin almost loses his shit, he cant help but snicker before gently turning nines' head to look at him again with the most gentle look he can muster to show the android exactly what hes feeling, because holy fuck there's so much shit that he feels for this man that he's lost for words.
