Cank [Conan and Hank]

C o n a n

Connor decided that for the next week he would take a vacation. He is more worried for Gavin than I am. He has known Gavin longer and is of course in love with the guy.

But Connor leaving also meant that I either work alone - or, I work with Hank.

I chose to work with Hank - of course. I didn't want to work alone.

Fowler decided to take half the work load off of me and Hank both since our partners aren't here. And since we're working together it'll be more simple.

Until Connor and Gavin come back, Hank and I will be doing our paperwork together and going on cases together.

The seat beside me is pulled out gently before I hear the creak of someone sitting down on it.

"In a couple days we have to go and work on a new case." I glance at Hank and timidly nod my head before moving my gaze back to the many sheets of paper in front of me.

"Fowler also wants us to take off right after we finish our paperwork today as well." I nod my head again not looking at Hank - but staring at my paper as a million thoughts race through my mind.

I regret become a deviant. I strongly dislike all the new emotions that have overcome me. The urge to produce what humans call tears is very strong. Sadly as an android I can't produce them unlike Connor who can.

"I also need to ask you something after work Conan." Hanks request seemed to come off as a demand that I couldn't help but nod my head too.

I do know that Hank seems to like me.

As for if I could return those emotions - I do not know.

I am very new to deviancy, and to feel any emotions to anyone that revolves around the aspect of love seems almost impossible.

I will admit that Hank does have some effect on me. When he stares into my eyes it does cause a shiver to race down my robotic spine. When he looks me over it does cause a blue tint to form inside my cheeks. And I do seem to get butterflies, as the humans call it, when Hank is around.

But I don't know if that is what you would call "love".

More of what humans like to call a "crush".

I sigh gently and set down my pencil. I just finished filling out the last paper I had. It took around 4 hours for me to finish my papers. Hank had finished an hour before and sat in the break room drinking multiple cups of coffee while he waited.

Now it's to go get him so he can take me home. And by home - I mean back to mine and Gavin's apartment; as lonely as it is.

I gently knock on the table to grab Hank's attention as he finishes up his cup of coffee. Even though it's almost five in the afternoon, he could never seem to stop drinking the almost addictive brown liquid.

"You finally done?" I nod my head timidly and gesture toward the door of the break room; indicating I was ready to leave.

Hank nods his head and quickly downs the last bit of coffee before crumbling the paper cup up in his hand and tossing it into the nearest trash can.

"Let's get you home and resting." I nod my head once more and lead the way out of the break room - passing by multiple people as we head back to my desk to retrieve any items we had left there.

I quickly scanned over the desk before checking that I had all my items.

I started making my way to the door of the department, although I am still bugged by one thing.

Hank said he needed to ask me a question, or really he demanded it, and I allowed him to do so.

Is he going to do it at Gavin's apartment? And will it hurt me?

Hank starts up his car, turning on the heaters to blast warm around us.

"So when we get to your apartment, I'd like to speak to you about something." I glance in Hank's direction to be met with beady eyes - almost with adoration swimming in his pools.

I glance away, feeling that warm tint rush to my cheeks again, and glance out the window quickly.

I can hear Hank chuckle before the car starts moving pulling out of the department's parking lot and onto the busy road.

The lights engulf the already dimming sky. It went from bright to dark very quickly.

I glance at the time seeing that it's almost six in the afternoon. During the winter it always seems to get darker quicker. Good for the the view of Christmas lights I presume.

I watch as the building I'm currently housed in come into view. A slight chill running down my spine as the thought of what Hank's question is comes back into my mind.

Hank parks the car in a parking space closer to the door of Gavin's room before turning to me - the car still blasting heat around us.

"I want to know if you would like to go out on a date tomorrow." I glance at Hank with a slightly agape mouth. Surprise is really the only emotion I can feel right now.

I gulp gently and nod my head timidly. "Sure Hank." My voice comes out shaky as I glance away, a heavy blue tint coming over my face as I quickly rush myself out of his car.

"I'll see you tomorrow Conan."

That's the last thing I hear before I shut the door and Hank drives off into the slowly dimming sky.

A breath of relief almost washes out of my body once his car is out of view. I never knew that Hank could have possibly made me so nervous.

I slowly make my way up the stairs to mine and Gavin's apartment - my shoulders sagging slightly as I unlock the door.

All I needed was to change and head to my room of the apartment - or rather Gavins' since he offered to sleep on the couch.

My feet trudge slowly as I drag myself to my room, my mind awake with the multiple thoughts of my date that I were to have with Hank tomorrow.

Is it casual or classy? Do I smell bad? What does he plan to do after?

I rub my temples gently and set myself down on the bed, laying back.

I never knew having emotions could be so difficult, but I guess this was the good thing about having them.

Finding love.

That's the good thing about having them.

Finally after a month of no posts, no updates - nothing, I have finally come back to post a new chapter.

I have a few plans for the next few chapters, and it may appear a tad rushed as I didn't give them much time to do anything really - so excuse that please.

But do tell me if you enjoyed this chapter.

I wanted to write an even longer chapter than this, but sadly I didn't have enough thought to put out to do that, so this length  of chapter will have to do.

I hope you enjoyed!

And I hope you all have an amazing rest of your day/evening/night, and I will see - or read - you all in the next chapter.

:))
