I Didn't Want This Either | Gavin Reed x Reader

Run Faster

"What the fuck is going on in here?" a new voice chimed in, one that you were familiar with. You expected to feel relief, and though it was there for a moment, it was gone before you could bask in it's warmth. In it's place was searing pain as a hand tightened around your throat, suspending you in the air. Your airflow went dead and your mind began to grow foggy. You were swung one way, as if you were going to be launched across the room, and then Gavin was speeding in and sending his elbow down onto the androids. His elbow buckled as Gavin's connected with it, and his hand went limp. You tumbled to the ground with a thump, but were on your feet again in an instant to see Gavin locked in battle- he swung a fist, connecting and sending a spray of blue blood from the androids nose. The android retaliated with a high-kick that nearly connected with Gavin's rib cage, but hit him on the shoulder instead as he sidestepped as quickly as he could. Another punch from Gavin, and then a punch for Gavin that bust his eyebrow and drew blood from his nose. You had to do something. 

"Help him!" you call to Connor and Hank, racing forwards just as Gavin took a hit that sent him backwards. He would have collided with the floor, but you reached out your arms and cushioned the fall, dragging him backwards as he kicked to get away, Connor stepping in to take his place. Connor was puny compared to this android, but Gavin was puny compared to Connor and still managed to hold his own. 

"Where the fuck is our Tin Can?!" Gavin barked, wiping at his bloodied face with the back of his hand and fighting to stand. He swayed gently from side to side.

"I-I don't know!" you stand too, steadying him as best as possible, "Stay out of the fight, Gavin, you're hurt enough already!" you caught Gavin by the arm, shoving him gently away from the action as he moved to help. 

"Fuck no!" he moved forwards again, but this time he stopped on his own as the center door was kicked open and Nines appeared. He was just in time. Hank was pushed backwards, his back connecting with the receptionists desk harshly. He let out a shout as Connor had his legs swept from under him. The RK800 tumbled to the floor, but you wouldn't let him get hurt. You propelled yourself forwards, slamming your fist into the deviants stomach and ignoring the pain that went splintering up your wrist. You had connected with his thirium pump and stalled him momentarily. He recovered quicker than you had ever imagine, and sent you to the ground with another punch to your face.

"(Y/N)!" you heard Gavin shout, but neither of you could do anything to stop the attack. You wouldn't escape in time, and almost everyone else was injured- Nines was the only one left in fighting condition. You watched, letting out a scream as the android lifting a hefty black combat boot that, with enough force, would reduce your skull to mush. You screwed your eyes shut, and felt the air inches from your face shift. The androids boot had been right there, but Nines had just barely made it in time and bowled the deviant off of his feet. The two were matched for height, and Nines took him to the floor. You were in a daze. Moments earlier you had expected to see your life flash before your very eyes, but now Gavin was beside you, holding your face in his bloodied hands and trying to get you to hear him. You shot a glance at Nines to see that he still had the upper hand, and was sending fist after fist down upon the androids face. It was covered in blue blood, both from itself and Nines' splitting knuckles. The android suddenly lurched upwards, sending Nines away and onto his back, the tides of battle shifting so quickly. You moved, desperate to go and save him, but Gavin hissed out a sharp 'no!' and pulled you backwards. 

"Let me go, Gavin!! I have to help!"  Connor went to help Nines instead, and together the android didn't stand a chance. You felt tears burning in your eyes at the sight of your android friends covered in concerning amounts of blue blood. Hooking his arms underneath the androids shoulders, Connor began to drag him a few paces backwards before he managed to break free. You let out a panicked cry as the deviant sent an elbow into Connor's thirium pump, breaking free, but Nines was already on his feet, gun drawn and pointed perfectly at the androids head. One clean shot could hit right between his eyes. With how the android froze up, you assumed that the bullet would pierce through there, unlike the rest of him.
