Work Text
Conner was sat at his desk typing up a case he and Hank had just been working on. It had been a long hard one and they almost hadn’t caught the perp. Conner was finding it hard to stay still and do his work at current, his sensory issues were driving him nuts because he was tired and just wanted get home, take a bath and cuddle with sumo and watch Pokémon. It didn’t help that right now there was a big commotion going on from the Sargent’s office. Conner glanced over seeing the Sarge arguing with some visiting government person. They were both very loud and in each other’s faces.Turning back to the computer Conner continued to type but his hands were shaking, foot tapping, and he was humming. From across the desk at his computer Hank could see Conner was starting to panic a little. He was worried That Conner was on the verge of a meltdown, and he didn’t want Conner to go through that again, especially not at work as he knew how embarrassed Conner got when this happened.Meanwhile the two arguing had come out the office and were now yelling at each other from the main offices. This sent Conner over the edge. He gasped and cried out whimpering and curled up on the floor rocking. Hank swore and hurried over to help Conner. He pulled the terrified android into his arms holding him tight hiding Conner s face in his chest. He felt Conner cling to him shaking and mentally winced as he felt the wetness of Conner having wet himself. This often happened when Conner got overwhelmed, it was another reason he hated the meltdowns at work, it was so embarrassing for Conner.Hank shot the two a death glare, the Sarge looked apologetic because he knew what the issue was, but the Government guy just gave Hank a smarmy look, tutted and mumbled something about “Funking androids” and walked off leaving the building. “Hank I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting him, it was a surprise inspection.”. Hank just shook his head and picked Conner up and carried him out to the car to take him home, the work could wait.When they got in Sumo hurried over happy to see them but then seeing Conner’s state gave a concerned whine and nuzzled Conner who was still cradled in Hanks arms. Conner stroked Sumo and pulled him close enjoying the softness of his fur. “Come on let’s get you cleaned up, we can then watch some cartoons and eat chocolate, how does that sound?” he asked, and Conner nodded quietly. Hank led Conner to the bathroom and ran a bath for him. when Conner had a meltdown, he couldn’t do such things as give himself a bath, he went into himself and so Hank had to help him. Hank didn’t mind though because Conner was his boy and he would always be there for him, always help him. Conner calmed as Hank cleaned him up and enjoyed the hair washing as Hank made his hair stick up with the bubbles. When the bath was done Conner dressed in his Pikachu onesie and curled up on the sofa and gratefully took the chocolate bar Hank handed him and then sat down next to him switching the TV on finding the kids channel where Pokémon came on. Hank grinned and saw Comers eyes light up at the sight. Conner of course knew the entire theme song and all the Pokémon names. Hank was happy to indulge Conner in this obsession and buy hi the things he wanted related to it. At least he wasn’t doing anything bad, at least he wasn’t hanging out with the wrong people like some androids had ended up doing once they got their freedom. Hank knew Conner could never be like that, he was just too sweet and kind-hearted.As the evening went on Conner started to dose off so Hank carried and now fast asleep Conner to his bedroom that was painted green and was plastered with Pokémon posters and Slytherin stuff as Conner had discovered that was his house. His bedroom filled with Pokémon plushies, bubble lights, glowing stars on the ceiling, a crazy patterned rug and patchwork duvet cover.Laying Conner in the bed Hank made sure he was all tucked in and watched him sleep for a minute before leaving him to rest. Hank was just glad that they had the next three days off. Tomorrow would most likely be Conner playing with Sumo in the yard all day long and hanging out with Markus while Hank and Carl sat chatting on the deck watching the two androids playing with Sumo together. Hank could not think of a better way to spend his time off.(Please leave comments and kudos greatly appreciated!)
