Hank X Connor- together forever

Breakfast

It was 5 am and the small kitchen clock was ticking. The tap was dripping, forming a pool of water in the sink. And sumo was lightly snoring. 

Connor had his eyes wide open and was looking around the room. He was still wrapped under Hank's arm, snuggled into his chest. The android didn't move in fear of waking his partner up. So he quietly lay there. 

He gently moved one of his hands to reach for the lieutenant's hair, which was still up in a ponytail. He pushed the short grey hairs out of his face behind his ear.

The more time Connor spent with Hank the more he realised he was a broken man. He had been damaged so much in the past and had contemplated ending it all so many times. Connor wouldn't let him do that, all he needed was a shoulder to cry on, someone to hold him close and care about him. Connor wanted to be that person... but... Connor wasn't supposed to want things. 

The android placed his hand back on Hank's chest and leaned against him. They both had small smiles on their faces, feeling the other in their embrace felt special. 

"You know Connor... you're too f*****g adorable. I should've told that to Kamski when we-" Hank started, opening his eyes

"Lieutenant, you're awake? You don't need to be it's only 5:18. Did my shuffling wake you?" Connor replied

"I'm normally up this time if I hadn't had too much too drink the night before"

"You didn't drink much last night?" Connor beamed

"Well... no... I suppose I didn't. You've been on my f*****g back about it for the last month Connor. Somehow you've built up that wall of trust but knocked down the alcohol intake" Hank blushed slightly 

Connor smiled, proud of what he had done. He had started to change Hank, for the better. He was drinking less, eating less high calorie foods and trying to better a better person. He was still swearing a lot but Connor didn't mind that. He considered it a nervous habit. 

"Lieutenant, you stay here, wake up a little bit more I'll be back" Connor smiled, standing up and walking into the kitchen 

Hank frowned slightly, unpleased that his android left his presence. After a few minutes of watching fumbling could be heard. Sighing hank got up and walked into the kitchen. 

"Connor got f***s same what're you-" he stopped mid sentence when he realised what Connor was doing "you're making breakfast?"

"I thought it would be a nice way to start the day. I should have asked where you kept all your supplies though so this would have been easier..."

"Well... what ya cooking good looking?" Hank laughed

"Just scrambled eggs and some toast. It's high in protein so good for a start to the day" Connor smiled, grabbing the food supplies he needed. 

Hank went in a cupboard and grabbed a bowl, then in a draw to grab a fork. He placed them on the side and grabbed a knife.

After 10 minutes of scooting around the kitchen, filled with laughing and girlish squeals from Connor the microwave finished, implying the eggs were ready. 

Connor grabbed the bowl and poured the eggs onto a plate while hank buttered his slightly burnt toast. He then came up from behind Connor, slid the toast on the plate and wrapped his arms around the Android. 

"Lieutenant, what are you-?" Connor asked

"I`m hugging you, obviously... you're too cute not to hug"

Connor smiled and placed his hands on top of Hank's hands, which were on his chest. After a small hug Connor spun around and gently kissed Hank then handed him his breakfast. 

"Enjoy your meal" Connor beamed

The two sat down at the small table. As hank dug into his food Connor whistled for sumo who cane running in. Sumo placed his head on Connor's lap as the android stroked him.

-30 minute time skip because I'm lazy-

Connor had his hand on Hank's as they sat in silence. Each other's presence was all they needed. Connor decided to break the silence. 

"Lieutenant, if it were to be okay I'd like to wash my uniform. I can wash yours too if you'd like? Or just some other clothes?"

"what're you, my maid now?" Hank laughed

"No lieutenant, but I am capable of preforming many tasks, as you discovered last night, which includes house work"

"Sure, you can wash your uniform... I've got a pile of s**t in my room that needs washing, you can do that as well if you want"

Connor nodded and went to receive the clothes. He then returned to hank to ask where the machine was and was pointed in the right direction. Connor placed the clothes in the washer then took off most of his own clothes before realising he had nothing else to wear. 

In his boxers and a shirt Connor walked back into the kitchen. 

"Connor!? What the f**k're you doing?" Hank yelled

"I took off my uniform then realised I have no extra clothes... could I borrow one of your shirts?" Connor asked

"Sure, whatever... I'll have to buy you some shirts and s**t so you don't have to keep borrowing mine" he sighed

"you'll buy me some?" Connor smiled

"Well yeah, I'm not going to leave you running around naked while your s**t is washing... although that would be fun"

Connor grinned again then left the room. He picked one of Hank's shirts, took off his old one and put on the new one. He gently sniffed it, it smelt like alcohol and sweat... just like hank. 

Connor waddled back to the washing machine and added his shirt to it. He then added the washing powder and put it on for two hours. 

Hank had made his way back to the sofa where he was shortly joined by Connor. The android sat on his lap, snuggling into his chest, looking up at hank. 

"Hey Connor?" Hank asked

"Yes lieutenant?" Connor replied 

"Thank you..." 

"For what?"

"For helping me out when I hit a rough patch. You've changed me Connor. I've been drinking less, eating better, acting nicer... all thanks to you. You've been there to support me. To hold me and to kiss me. To tell me it's going to be okay. And... I really appreciate it" he blushed slightly 

"I'm here to help you lieutenant. It may have seemed like completing my mission was my main interest, but... it seems you've changed me too. I've learnt how to care for humans, how to do things in a more peaceful way... and... I suppose you've taught me how to love. Because lieutenant... I love you" 

"You dumb s**t, I f*****g love you too"

Hank pressed his lips against Connor's, his cold embrace had started to become a pleasant feeling he'd learn to love. Those rubber lips had become a foreign object he mourned and craved. Every time he touched them he felt warm and happy. 

They sat there silently, gently kissing one another until Hank pulled away to get his breath. 

"I won't let cyberlife take you away from me. You're mine now. You're my f*****g android and I love you. If they try and take you, they'll have to go through me first"

"They won't take me Lieutenant. I know how to act as if I've not shown deviant behaviour so it'll be fine. But they won't take me from you"

"Good... I don't know what I'd do if I lost you"

Connor rested his head into Hank's chest again and they lay in silence, appreciating each other's comfort. Nothing could separate them. Not cyberlife. Not anyone. Without the other they would not survive and be forced into ending it all just to be with the other again...
