A/N: now a Connor and Hank version where people forget Connor and Hank live together.

............

The precinct loved gossip.

They also loved any source of entertainment that didn't involve crime.

It's all exciting at first, but after a year working on the force, even murder gets bland. A weird thing to say in most situations, but a sad truth on the force.

The favorite topic for gossip was Connor.

Ever since the revolution, the force was shocked that Connor still seemed up for the job. Most androids turned away from jobs they used to do, besides a few. Teachers and Nurses and doctors seemed to go back, but for the most part, people left their original job.

Connor seemed eager to join again and he was... a sight for sore eyes. His presence brought a bit of sunshine in the darkness of their work.

The precinct was also glad that Connor turned the resident alcoholic back to normal. Somewhat. He made the guy stop drinking, convinced him to cut his hair, and shave his beard, taking years off. He even started working out with Hank in an effort to help him get in shape. He even got Hank to come in early. It wasn't surprising to see Connor and Hank arrive together.

In fact, it was weirder for them not to arrive together. On occasion they'd come in at different times, but it wasn't often.

"Morning Anderson, where's Connor?" Collins asked.

"He said something about one of his components not working and I believe he called in sick," Hank informed.

"Wonder if he broke the component somehow."

Hank shrugged, "I wouldn't know."

After that day, every once in awhile, always a Monday or Friday, Connor would be out of work, staying home.

It made everyone worried. Yet, for some reason, they never thought Hank knew.

They had wild theories, and people made betting pools.

Yet it all came tumbling down on a Friday afternoon when Connor arrived at work wearing a tight fitting white button up, sleeves rolled up and first few buttons undone, ditching his work jacket. His hair wasn't it's pristine self and his eyes were alive, and he breathed this sexy aura. He just seemed, different.

He yawned as he sat at his desk, "I'm exhausted."

"You don't look it," Hank snorted.

"I'm an android. Despite what Cyberlife does, they can never make us look tired."

"Don't get snarky kid."

Connor simply smiled, his bright sunshine smile that brightened up any room he was in.

Still, something felt off.

Gavin was the unfortunate soul who discovered what that was. He was getting a coffee and Connor just so happened to be there, getting a coffee for Hank when having noticed a dark bluish bruise just barely hidden by Connor's shirt. And when he saw that, he saw that the rest of Connor's skin was littered.

So many hickeys...

A mental image appeared in Gavin's head. His component not work...

Was he fucked so hard that his legs stopped working?

Gavin shook the very vivid image of a moaning Connor out of his head and got his coffee, saying nothing before going back to his desk and motioning Chen over.

"What's up Reed?" She asked.

"I ran into Connor getting coffee and the plastic prick is littered with hickeys."

"What?" Chen exclaimed quietly, trying to to attract attention.

Gavin nodded, "I couldn't believe it either, but it explains a lot, don't you think?"

"I wonder who he's with?"

"I don't know."

Chen hummed, "think Anderson would?"

"Possibly."

Word spread fast about the hickeys, and people really noticed them after they were pointed out.

"Hey Connor, by any chance are you dating anyone?" Chen asked, much to a lot of the precincts shock.

Connor tilted his head, looking at her quizzically, "I am actually. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, well," She was startled, not expecting an actual affirmative, "You Aren't very good at hiding hickeys." She gestures to an exposed one and Connor doesn't even flinch.

"Oh, I guess I'm not."

Hank glanced over, but really wasn't all that interested.

"How long have you been in a relationship?" She asked.

Connor thought for a moment.

"Seven months, eighteen days, 10 hours and five minutes. Or, to put it simply, one week after the android revolution."

"Pretty serious," Gavin snorted, "and only now we're hearing about it?"

"Well, no one bothered to ask before, and relationships do tend to get more and more intimate and serious the longer you're in them, though I suppose you wouldn't know anything about that, would you detective?"

That earned a chuckled from Hank.

"Why listen hear y-"

"So what are they like? Android, human?" Collins interrupted.

"If it was another android, there wouldn't be hickeys. My lover is a very possessive guy."

"So it's a dude?" Gavin noted.

Connor nodded, "I'm surprised none of you know who it is. I mean, Captain Fowler figured it out week two."

"What!?" Chen(among many others) exclaimed.

"To be fair Connor," hank interrupted, "he knows anything and everything that interferes with work."

"That's true."

"Do you know Anderson?" Collins asked.

"Of course I do."

"Well, what are they like?" Chen pressed.

Connor shrugged, "well, he's possessive. He acts tough but he's a softie. He's surprisingly charming and hilarious. Oh, and he has great taste in music."

"That's such a generic description," Chen sighed.

"I also live with them," Connor added.

The precinct perked at this, "Really?"

"Yeah," he said with a nod, "I've been living with them since the revolution ended. I'm still surprised none of you are connecting the dots."

Before Chen or anyone else could ask questions, Fowler walked out of his office, walking over, "Connor."

"Yes Captain Fowler."

His eyes were so tired, and it didn't take a genius to realize whatever Fowler just felt with was a usual occurrence, "can you try a bit better to hide what you do in your relationship. I just got a voicemail I didn't want to hear."

Connor flushed, "oh, I am so sorry Captain Fowler, won't happen again."

"God I hope not. I don't know which of you two is doing it, but I know you're doing it to screw with me."

"I have no such intentions."

Fowler sighed, "I know you don't. Anderson would though. So knock it off!" He scolded Hank before heading back to his office.

Hank merely shrugged, "I don't care what he says, I didn't send him any damn voicemail."

There was a beat of silence, since neither Hank, nor Connor really seemed dazed that Fowler revealed their relationship.

"When did that happen?" Collins snorted.

"I already told you." Connor hummed.

Chen looked between the pair, then at the many hickeys on Connor, "learnt something today I didn't want to know."

"Then you shouldn't have listened when detective Reed informed you that he saw I had hickeys. Then you wouldn't have felt that urge to ask me questions."

"I-"

"I'm not deaf, his desk isn't a mile away, it's about ten feet."

Collins looked at Connor with a quirked brow, "no offense to Anderson, but why? I'm sure you could snag much better?"

"No need to tear others down to hide your own insecurities," Connor hummed. "Besides, androids aren't attracted to physical appearance. We lack that physical attraction or Lust as you may put it. If we do fall in love, we fall more for the personality and moments one can give. I'm sure no one besides The Lieutenant can give me the emotional train wreck he gave. No one else was by my side during the android revolution."

"You're a sap," Hank snorted.

Connor tilted his head at hank, eyes curious. Sap. Hmm.

"Ugh, another person to end up with a cute guy besides me, I'm done with this," Chen sighed, leaving. Everyone eventually left since they really did have work to do.

Connor and Hank kept working.

Unlike others, they knew how to separate work life from personal life. When the work day was done, they headed out with a nice little gap between them until they left the office, where Connor grabbed Hank's hand as they walked to Hank's car, ready to head home.

There were a few members of the precinct who had very... very vivid images of Connor after that, now knowing things they didn't want to know. Though, all of them appreciated that Hank and Connor's romantic life never seeped into work, and the two, once again, remained professional.
