Connor RK800 x Child!reader

I will be trying to keep the reader gender neutral. Sorry if I slip out of that.

It was a busy day in the City of Detroit. You had been allowed to tag along with Hank and Connor today as they did a bit of shopping and questioning for their recent case. It wasn't anything overly big which is why you had been allowed to tag along. That and you had somehow managed to convince the 2 with your very cute and shy ways. Yes. Even Connor had troubles saying no...

So, this is how you ended up walking the streets in the middle of Hank and Connor, holding Connor's hand whilst Hank finished off his hotdog. You had already finished yours since Hank was interrupted with someone talking to him and Connor. You were happily skipping along the road whilst Connor gently swayed your arms back and forth with Hank every now and again glancing between you and the android with a hidden smirk on his face. But it was when you came to a sudden stop that the 2 immediately became concerned. In front of you stood a massive crowd of people and Androids all going about their business... it didn't matter to you what the crowd was made up of, it was all the same to you, a crowd. Your were not happy. You've never liked crowds, and never will.

Connor, sensing your fear, kneels down in front of you and places the hand that's not already holding yours on your shoulder.
"What's wrong (y/n)?" Connor asks quizzically. You were really happy only a second ago, this dramatic change of emotion was rather puzzling to Connor. Hank knew how kids can very quickly change emotion, but even this confused him slightly. Wasn't till he had a look around that he started to understand.
"You don't like crowds, do you kiddo?" You very quickly shook your head and looked down, thinking the 2  would think this little fear silly, but Hank quickly debunked that theory.
"Tell ya what, why don't you sit atop Connor's shoulders since he's stronger than me, and will most definitely keep you safe. That way you can also lead us through the crowd." Hank and Connor look to each other and share a nod of understanding. Yes Connor would already know where they needed to go because he could scan the area, but that knowledge wouldn't help convince you to face the fear. This left you however with some more concerns which you were very quick to voice as your head shoots up to look towards hank with tears forming in your eyes.
"But you could still get lost! S-someone could get in between us and separate us! W-what if-" Before you could come up with any more hypotheticals, Hank quickly cuts you off.
"That's not gonna happen. I won't lose you because you sitting on top of Connor's shoulders will mean that you are taller then eeeeeverybody here." As Hank says this he sweeps his arm gesturing to the crowd in front of you.
"You'll be like my little beacon of hope. A knight in shining armor!" This explanation and idea of being a 'knight' for someone as brave as Hank immediately brightened up your face and dried your tears, knowing Hank will be safe from the 'evil' crowd.

With a look of determination you spin back round Connor and begin making little 'grabby hand' motions. A symbol of wanting to be picked up that was established between the 2 of you the day you met, with the help of Hank's explanations to Connor of course. Happily Connor stood up, and carefully lifted you to be on top of his shoulders. Once comfortable, you gently wrap your hand over Connor's forehead since you didn't want to tug on Connor's hair. Yes he's an android and doesn't really know pain, but the feeling would probably still be fairly unpleasant. Satisfied that power team of both you and Connor were comfortable, you then proceeded to lift one arm up and point towards the crowd, trying t look as 'Knightly' as possible.
"Onward my Noble Steed!" You proclaim, a smile never leaving your face.
"Yeah, 'noble steed' get a move on." Hank teased, however Connor was particularly confused by this statement.
"I'm not a horse, Lieutenant." Connor stated whilst turning his head towards Hank, yet still starting to make his way towards the crowd. Hank knew the Android saw things logically, but surely he couldn't be THAT stupid... With a sigh he started to try and explain without making it seem too obvious to (y/n) who was too intrigued with the new perspective they are getting too experience.
"Well, if they are the 'Knight', then you must be their 'Steed' carrying her across the land." Hank tried to explain to Connor, adding air quotes to try and show that they are playing pretend for (y/n). It took a few seconds for Connor to put the pieces together, but after a few moments of getting closer to the crowd Connor gains a small smirk as he turns back to Hank.
"Well, if they are the Knight, and I am the Noble Steed. That must make you the Squire. Isn't that right (y/n)?" Hank glares at Connor, but when he looks up to see your innocent smile aimed towards him, he couldn't help but smile and playfully salute you.
"I am at your service." You nod to him and attempt to look as regal as possible.
"Do not get lost squire! That is an order!.... please." The look only lasted a few seconds as you looked at him with sincerity, truly concerned for his well being. Connor pats and rubs your leg gently in an almost protective fatherly way, telling you everything would be fine as you begin to traverse the crowd.

You had nearly successfully lead the 2 to safety until random stranger runs into Hank making him stumble and begin to get further and further away. When you reached the end you looked around happily trying to find your Squire but he was nowhere to be seen. You began to freak out and so called down to Connor.
"Halt Noble Steed! It appears we have lost Squire Hank amidst the crowd as some ruffian knocked him down! We must find him!" You continued to talk as knightly as you could to try and show that you were brave and everything was fine, but that seemed to mainly be for you than foc Connor, as he immediatly picked up on your panic and gently squeezed your leg in hopes to reassure you.
"It will be OK My Knight, Squire Hank is a smart fellow. I'm positive he will find his was back to you. There is much land to still be explored and I doubt he would ever dream of missing it." Connor continued to talk in the olde english with you, helping to calm you down. Just as you were about to really start worrying, you say and hand raise in the crowd and Hank begin to emerge from it, out into the open space where you can Connor were waiting patiently.
" SQUIRE HANK!" You yelled, throwing your firsts trumphantly into the air, which almost had you falling Connor's shoulders if it wasn't for his quick reaction to hold your legs tightly while you regain balance, hand's making their way back around his forehead. After much scolding from you for making you worry, Hank declared tat they should find a different and less crowded route next time. This idea was seconded and even 'thirded' by you and Connor and the 3 of you continued with your 'Quest'.

Seeing how much fun you were having up on Connor's shoulders, the 2 detectives decided that you should continue to be their Noble Knight for the day, only being let down when they were indoors so you wouldn't hit your head on any door frames or the ceiling if it was too low. On the way home, the 3 of you decided to take a more peaceful route and at times when it was just the 3 of you, Connor would very often begin to add a bounce to his step, to make it seem like he was trotting. At first Hank would roll his eyes at what Connor was doing, but soon after he began to get into the roll of squire, helping form swords and lances out sticks he found along the way.

This day would be one the 3 of you would never forget. And you would find yourself on top of Connor's shoulders a lot more when walking down streets, all while Connor had a slight more bounce to his step.

Sorry the quality began to drop and it came to an abrupt end. I had left writing for a few days and I lost my flow.

Hope you still like it though!
