Nines : I require your assistance regarding Detective Reed

Tina: *eating salad* Oh god what did he do this time

Nines: Gavin...refused my advances for sexual intercourse

Tina: *drops fork*
Hank: *spits out coffee*
Chris: *concerned* Holy shit what happened? Is he okay?

Nines: *staring at his hands* Is there something wrong with me? Because I’m and android and that fact is finally catching up?

Hank: I dunno, maybe that’s why

Nines: *in despair* He’s never had a problem before! What changed this time?

Tina: Ah. So. You guys have fucked before.

Chris: I don’t think you’re the problem, something really bad must have happened; Gavin never refuses sex, I would know

Nines: *staring* You would know?

Tina: *mild disbelief* I always thought you were straight

Chris: *defensive* hey, I was bi-furious at the time

Hank: you mean bi-curious?

Chris: no, bi-furious, otherwise I wouldn’t had asked Gavin

Nines: Can we get back to the main topic?

Tina: Well, Gavin likes attention, but he’s an emotional mess. He’ll never be straightforward on what he wants, so you just have to roll with it and fuck him anyways. I would know, that’s what I did.

Nines: That’s what you d-

Tina: Long story. But that’s how we became bff’s.

Nines: *In despair* Can we PLEASE have better ideas on how to approach the current task at hand

Hank: No, Chris and Tina are both partially correct. Like Chris said, he always represses his actual feelings pretty well, but there are indicators when something is really wrong.

(Cont.) Hank: You just discovered one of them. And like Tina said, because of his emotional constipation, the best way is to directly approach him.

Chris and Tina: *staring at Hank, intrigued*

Nines: What would you suggest I ask him?

Hank: Just ask him what’s wrong, you can always use your android powers and tell him the indicators of him being upset. That usually sets him off.

Nines: I’m afraid that would result in severe backlash.

Hank: *grins* But he’ll quietly resign after, and tell you the truth.

Nines: *amazed* Thank you *glances at Tina and Chris* all of you, that was very insightful. I will keep all of this in mind. *excuses himself*

Chris: * throws away empty salad bowls and cups * That was dope, I don’t think either of us would’ve thought of what you suggested.

Tina: *watches as Gavin saunter to Nines and make a snarky comment* Yeah, where did you get all this wisdom? Old age?

Hank: *watches Gavin grumble at his desk, smiles softly* Just believe me, I know. *Winks at Tina and Chris, leaves*

Gavin: *Head buried in arms on desk*: Fuck off tincan, can’t you see I’m busy?

Nines: You’ve slept for two hours during your shift. You’re more sleep deprived than usual, but you don’t have a hangover.

Gavin: Stop scanning me, bitch, I know that I feel like shit, it’s my body

Nines: might I suggest an alternative-

Gavin: Fuck off already, it’s just a one-time thing, won’t happen again, so leave me the fuck alone, Please?

Nines:...

Gavin:...

Nines: You said please

Gavin: So what asshole

Nines: You never say please

Gavin: okay fine

Nines: What has been bothering you?

Gavin: *tired faced* Dude, it’s nothing serious, stop nagging already

Nines: Is it because Jason broke up with you, because honestly I approve, he is too aggressive for a healthy relationship

Gavin: No, that’s diff-wait how did you know

Nines: oh, so it wasn’t Jason?

Gavin: Stop deflecting, how the Fuck it you know that we broke-

Nines: From what I see YOU are the one deflecting from the first problem I was trying to figure out.

Gavin: *pauses, growls* this is NOT over

Nines: Yes yes, now spill

Gavin: *glances warily at the other police, waves Nines off* Later tincan, like I said, it’s nothing serious

Nines: well clearly it was detrimental to your already failing sleep schedule, much less your attitude

Gavin: *triggered* All right, that’s it. Fuck you. *stomps off*

Nines: He dumped the apology coffee in the trash and left

Hank: Well kid sometime you’ll need patience with a guy like him. Why don’t you wait until tomorrow when he’s less of an ass?

Nines: I’m going after him

Hank: Wh-

Connor: Aaaaand he’s gone

(Via thinking text)

Connor: Keep me posted

Nines: Got it. On another topic, your information regarding Jason, albeit interesting, increased the gap of understanding between me and Gavin

Connor: Oh no. What a shame.
