Can I Ask You a Personal Question? || Connor x Fem!Reader || D:BH

Chapter 19

She grabbed a half-empty (Or half-full) bottle from the fridge. "Just getting a glass of wine." She set the bottle on the island counter and grabbed a glass from a cabinet. "I think I know the answer to this, but do you want anything?"

"No, thank you."

She smirked as she opened the bottle. "Figured." She poured some wine into her glass. "So, I never asked because I didn't want to tick you off, but what exactly happened with... Gavin, was it? You were clearly already fed up before I even got there."

I frowned. "Yes. We had... a disagreement earlier today."

"Did you punch him?"

"What? No. Hank broke up the argument before anything got too out of hand."

She took a sip of her wine. "Too bad. He deserved to be punched."

"I don't know that he would try to fight me again."

"Again? You two have fought before?" I averted my gaze. "Did you win?"

I looked back at her. "He threatened me, so I knocked him out in order to accomplish my mission."

She giggled. "Good on you, Connor." She took another sip of her wine. "Do you want to talk about what happened? Sometimes, you really just need a good venting."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Come on, I'm all ears."

"Okay." I sat in one of the bar stools. I started to explain the argument to her and she sat quietly, listening to my every word. I left out the part about being shot. I didn't want to upset her, and I guess I didn't really want to remind her that I am an android. "And when he was standing so close to you, I just felt angry. It was very unpleasant. I'm sorry I pulled you away so suddenly, I just didn't want to get into another argument."

She shook her head. "No, don't be sorry. I really didn't want to be talking to him. He had already left a bad impression on me after he tried flirting with me the first time. Such a wannabe player that one." I chuckled. She refilled her glass. "Maybe he's just jealous."

I tilted my head. "Of what?"

"Of you. You're so perfect, and he... well he's an asshole."

I felt slightly embarrassed. "I wouldn't say I'm perfect."

"Connor... You're perfect. A little bit innocent I'll admit, but that actually makes you more perfect."

"Hank thinks that I look and sound weird."

She laughed. "Did he actually say that?" I nodded. "Apparently the man doesn't know handsomeness even when it's staring him in the face."

I looked away and smiled as I felt my system heat up. I couldn't tell if she meant that or if the wine was kicking in. "Thank you."

She shrugged. "Just saying the truth."

"I also think that you are perfect."

Her face went red and she laughed nervously. "No, no. No need to flatter me, Connor. Just because I complimented you doesn't mean you need to give me one out of politeness."

I tilted my head. "I meant it."

She waved her hand at me. "Psh! No! I'm a human. I'm by no means perfect."

I stood from the stool. "To me you are."

She nearly spit out her wine before she swallowed it. "Okay." Her voice cracked. "Can you stop like... being a kissass?"

"I'm only saying my opinion." I walked around the island counter to stand in front of her. "I do find you very beautiful."

She set her wine glass down and put her hand on her chest. Her entire face was red. I tilted my head to try to look at her. She let out a heavy sigh. "Fuck this." She suddenly put her hands on the back of my neck and pulled herself up to give me a kiss on the lips. I instantly tensed up as my thirium pump went faster than I ever thought possible, but I quickly gave in to the pleasant feeling, closing my eyes and gently pulling her closer. After a few seconds, we broke the kiss and (y/n) let out a deep breath. "Connor?"

I looked into her sparkling (e/c) eyes. "Yes?"

"I really like you a lot."

I smiled and rest my forehead on hers. "I like you too, (y/n)."

She smiled and gave me another small kiss. "We should probably finish the movie."

I nodded and we went back into the living room. We sat back on the couch and continued to cuddle under the blanket. I couldn't seem to wipe the smile off of my face as her head lie on my chest.
