Nines deviates because Gavin wears contacts?
Despite how much of a pain in the ass he could be, Nines always could admit the man was sharp. In so many ways, words, wit, and detective skills to pay the bills. Which was good because that was indeed how he paid them. The only thing he seemed to have issues on was doing his reports at times, and it was something that baffled the android considering how diligent he normally is.
It was a good thing Nines was able to help, but even with the android they were a good bit behind due to a mess of cases piling up.
“Detective, I do not think we are going to get through all this for a while.” It was a little annoying to think about, that such a skilled android like himself would be falling behind. Granted he could take a bit of solace in knowing it wasn’t entirely on him.
Beside him, he could hear the annoyed grunt from said human. "Yeah, shit’s gonna take a week at this rate.” It was getting close to the end of their shift, Gavin letting out a sigh as he grabbed his coat. “Fuck it, I’ll do it at home. You do your’s... where ever the hell you go at night...”
It would be a good idea, multitasking was a major function for Nines after all. But he worried about how well the detective would fair, not to mention possibly needing to converse about some of the cases they were tracking. It was enough to get him up and following after the man.
“Detective, wait. Perhaps it would be a good idea to work together.” Perhaps he shouldn’t be that surprised at the scrunched up face Gavin gave him.
“What? Why the hell would that make any difference? You got a computer brain, you can handle it.” He clearly wanted to go home, but just one more try...
“Yes, I can handle it perfectly fine, but it would be easier to be in the same place should we need to go over something. It could take a lot more time texting about it and I doubt you would want to do that over the phone.”
It took a few moments but Nines knew he had him when his shoulders slumped and he started to walk again. “You’re not letting this go are you...? Fine, just don’t mess with anything.”
That was easy, but perhaps it was just the man being worn out from so many things. Either way Nines would count it as a win on his part.
It didn’t take them too long to get to Gavin’s place, thankfully he lived fairly close in one of the apartment buildings. Nines can’t say he was really expecting the huge ass cat the man had, but it was intresting to see how the cat reacted to him while Gavin got changed into something more house worthy. Not unlike the owner, but not unlike Nines himself. How fascinating.
Clamoring from the next room drew his attention, prompting him to go check up on the man. Perhaps it wasn’t the best nor the most polite idea to peek in on him, but he really was just trying to make sure he was ok. What he didn’t expect to find is the man messing with his eyes.
Nines wasn’t a slow android but it took even him a second to realise what the man was doing, only seeing it once Gavin had removed it. ‘It’ being a contact. The man had contacts, and by that logic it meant he likely used glasses as well to some extent. And for a hot moment the Rk was confused. How had he not known the man needed them? He realized now that had he not been so work focused he might have gotten it sooner, that must have been why Gavin sometimes didn’t do his reports.
The sheer surprise at this and the fact he had missed it? And the thought of all the times that could have been a problem? Through a hazy vision he finally noticed the man was staring at him in his own state of shock.
They were quiet a moment, and Nines needed to break it. “You... wear contacts..?”
“Don’t you dare say a word about this to anyone.” Any venom in Gavin’s snapping was lost in his worry.
The confirmation that Nines was, in fact, not glitching was enough to clear the his sight as he retreated back to the living room without a word to wait and hope he wouldn’t get scolded for peeking. Great timing too, for he got to see the full glory that was Gavin coming out, red faced with glasses perched up on his nose. Thank fuck for deviancy, cause those were some snapshots for later.
