「Chapter 6」
Once (Y/n) had gotten settled in, Hank came back with Chinese takeout and walked into the kitchen and Connor had stood from the couch, "Do you need help setting up the table...?" (Y/n) asked softly as Hank set the bag down on the table. He looked up at her before nodding.
"Sure, the uh bowls are in that cabinet over there." He said while pointing to one of the cabinets as he took out the food. She nodded while walking over to the cabinet, "Hey, Connor, can you grab me a beer?" He asked as the android nodded.
"Of course, Hank." He said while walking over to the fridge and then looking over at (Y/n) before opening the fridge, "Is there something you would like, (Y/n)?" He asked as she glanced over her shoulder at him.
"Anything you guys have is fine..." She said softly as she took the bowls over to the table and Connor looked back into the fridge.

Connor bit his cheek softly before grabbing two bottles of beer, as he thought she might need something to relax her from the rough day she has had. Once the two humans sat down, the android walked over and gave Hank one bottle and (Y/n) the other. "I though you might have wanted something to ease your mind a bit." Connor said with a soft smile at (Y/n), who blushed faintly and nodded.
"Thank you, Connor... I appreciate your concern..." She said softly as Connor nodded. Hank and (Y/n) begun to eat as Connor sat and watched. (Y/n) noticed that he wasn't eating, "Do want to eat...?" She asked as Connor looked at her with a slight head tilt.
"For what reason? There's no need for me to eat." He said.
"Oh... But can you eat...?"
"Of course." Connor said, "My body just doesn't need the nutrients and energy food gives for humans."
"I see..."
"Well, make it seem like you're having dinner then." Hank said while putting food in his bowl, "And quit staring at us." He said and Connor nodded as he began to eat. The three ate in silence as the TV is heard in the living room, a hockey game was on as the announcer was explaining what was happening play by play.
"Thank you for letting me stay for the time being, Hank..." (Y/n) said softly as Hank nodded.
"It's not a problem, (Y/n). It's the least I can do to help you get back on your feet." Hank said, "But I think it's Connor that you should thank since he's the one who suggested that you stay here." She looked over at the android, who paused from eating to look over at (Y/n).
The young woman nodded as she looked over at Connor, "And thank you too, Connor..."
"As I said before, it's my pleasure to help in anyway I can." He said as she nodded and they all fall back into silence once more. Sumo walked into the kitchen and laid down by Hank's chair. The android looked over at (Y/n), who shifted a bit at the awkward atmosphere.

Connor's LED turns yellow and swirled before turning blue, "So, (Y/n), what do you do for a living?" He asked, Connor could just analyze her profile for her information but just wanted to hear it from her. She perked up a bit and looked at him in slight surprise before looking back at her food.
"U-Uhm... Well... I-I'm a graphic designer..." (Y/n) said softly as Hank made a face of being impressed.
"Really?" He asked as he swallowed down his food, "So you're pretty good in art and whatnot then?"
"I mean, I-I suppose so..." She said with a rather flustered face, "It was a r-requirement in college to take art courses as I studied graphic design..."
"Cool, you should show us some of your art stuffs sometime." Hank encouraged and she rubbed the nape of her neck sheepishly with a nod.
"Maybe someday..."
"So, with all that's been going on through your relationship with Alex, you still managed to get work done?" Connor asked as she nodded.
"Well, it p-put more stress on me mentally... So it was difficult to work... But I still managed to get the clients' requests done in time..." (Y/n) admitted softly, "It was j-just difficult with Alex... Constantly berating me..." She said quietly after a short pause as Hank grunted.
"I can't even imagine being put through all that for days on end. But that is what makes you strong, you were able to still get the job done and make money even with his constant bullshit because you didn't let that stop you." The older man said as she thought over his words before nodding.
"I-I suppose you're right..."

"What do you enjoy doing on your free time?" Connor asked with a slight head tilt.
"Hm... I g-guess before Alex became the man he is now... I guess I used to enjoy reading on my free time or draw... I enjoy a bit of painting... I used to love traveling..."
"Where have you been?" Hank asked.
"Um... I've been to Canada... California, New York, Pennsylvania... Florida... Maryland and Washington D.C.... I've also been to France, Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain... What else...? Italy... Korea... China... And the last trip I was on was in Brazil..." She said as Hank nodded.
"Wow, that's impressive. Heard Italy's beautiful this time of year." He said as she nodded.
"It is... But I had to travel to a few of the states and countries I listed to meet with some clients overseas or out of state..." (Y/n) said as she ate as the Hank and Connor nodded.
□「PERSONAL」
○「CONTINUE EATING」
"Do you mind if I ask a rather personal question?" Connor asked as she paused and looked over at Connor.
"It depends on the question..." She said as Hank looked between the two.
"What am I not allowed to ask?"
"Hm... Nothing about my relationship with Alex or my past..." She said softly as Connor's LED turned yellow.
"Alright," He said with a nod as he thought, "Have you ever regretted being with someone?" He asked, the question made Hank almost choked on his food while shooting Connor a slight glare as (Y/n) looked to the side with a grimace. There was an awkward silence as she shifted a bit in her seat. Hank cleared his throat as he looked over at the woman as Connor's LED stayed yellow and continued to swirl.
"I'm sorry about Connor, (Y/n). He's unaware of what's the right thing to say when it comes to normal conversations." He said as (Y/n) shook her head a bit.
"N-No... It's fine... Um... Almost all the time for the last couple of y-years..." She said as she and Connor made eye contact, his LED turning blue once she answered.
"I see." He said as she nodded and finished her food.
"Alright... I'm gonna take a shower... You can leave the dishes in the sink and I'll wash them when you two are done..." She said as she stood up and Hank shook his head.
"It's fine, (Y/n). Go get yourself situated and I'll handle the dishes and stuff." He said as she nodded and walked off. The older man looked at Connor, whose eyes watched (Y/n) leave the kitchen before back at Hank. He sighed and shook his head as he went back to eating, "Oh Connor, we really need to work on your ice breakers..." Hank said with a swig of his beer and Connor only looked at him with a confused head tilt.
