An Unhealthy Obsession pt 5

Read on Ao3

Hank watched as Chloe unhooked a Connor from the machine Kamski had him hooked up to. He waved off the genius’s explanations for why Connor hadn’t just shown up wherever he was like he used to before the peaceful revolution and just told them to get him working again. Chloe at least at smiled at him before the two of them got to work. Hank stepped back outside the room and looked over at Nines. The taller, newer android was sitting down in the hallway, his head in his hands and a red LED peeking through his fingers. “How’re you doing kid?” He leaned down slightly to get a better look at Nines.

Nines just looked up at Hank before looking back at the floor. “There’s someone running around in my body. They’re doing RA9 knows what to Gavin right now, and the only reason we know what’s going is because they or someone killed Connor!” He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “I’m sorry I just- I’m freaking out and making things worse by running simulations of what could be happening right now.”

“Don’t, we’ll wake up Connor and rush over there and rescue the little jackass.” Hank shuffled nervously, not sure how to comfort Nines when he was right, that other Nines could be doing god knows what. “I’m gonna head back in. I’ll explain the situation to him before we let him see you, okay?” Nines nodded and Hank went back into the room, shutting the door behind him.

Kamski moved from the computer to standing next to the counter they had laid Connor down on. Chloe stood by his head, her hands white and plastic showing as she lifted them from his forehead. Hank walked up just as Connor’s eyes snapped open.

He jumped up from the counter, LED spinning red as he patted down his chest, he looked down and his shirt was clean. His chest was covered by a clean shirt. Ignoring everyone in the room he quickly opened the shirt and checked again. He looked up and saw Chloe had moved to right in front of him. He turned and saw Hank and Elijah standing by the counter. “Hank! We have to save Gavin from Nines!” He saw Hank shake his head and frowned, turning back to Chloe. She had a hand stretched out, asking for a data transfer. He placed his arm in her hand, synthetic skin peeling back on his own as he was hit with a wave of data. He stumbled back, not breaking the connection but shocked at how much there was. Not just the information from that day when Hank burst in and asked for help, but showing over the course of the month Nines had spent with them.

She broke the connection and he turned to Hank and Elijah again. “Do we know who is in the other body then?”

Hank shook his head. “Nope. Figured we’d get there after we save the asshole. Come on, our real Nines is outside and ready to kill the one in his spare body.”

Connor placed a hand on Elijah’s shoulder when the man started to walk by. “I think it would be best if you stayed in a safe location.” He paused, not sure of the best way to ask the question. “Is that body the only spare Nines has? If he becomes destroyed-?”

Elijah shook his head. “If Nines is destroyed then he should still have an auto upload to the Cyberlife cloud. Then he would be manually uploaded into his new model. I’ve put in a firewall preventing any downloads from the Cyberlife cloud. That should prevent anything like this from happening in the future.”

Connor nodded and hurried out the door, he paused when he saw Nines. He knew this was their Nines, and not the copy, but it still shocked him to see Nines standing there. Taking a moment to watch the other android move and speak it was easy to see how different they were. This Nines was much more open, more human in his body language. The other one had moved like they were always on edge, they had colder eyes than this Nines.

He walked up to Nines, noticing how he flinched slightly at seeing Connor awake and up. “So, how are we going to do this? I know where he lead me, and can show you where he had killed me, but we don’t know if they’ve moved Gavin or if that even is where Gavin is hidden.”

Nines nodded and the five of them walked out of Cyberlife and back into the car. “It’s a good place to start with though.”

Gavin pulled against the chain, hoping it would give somewhere. He sat down with a sigh, looking over at the bed he was chained to. It was no use, damn thing was bolted to the floor. He looked around the room some more, there was a toilet, a sink, and a mirror. He stood back up, deciding to double check how long of a reach he did have. He couldn’t reach the door, but that was expected. The sink and toilet were in reach, but the mirror wasn’t. His fingertips could barely brush against the surface of the mirror.

He scrambled back to the bed and stood in front of it as he heard the lock click open. Nines calmly walked in with a smile that made Gavin’s skin crawl. “I hope you find the accommodations acceptable Gavin? Please let me know what I can do to make things more comfortable for you. I do plan on this being a very long stay.” He kept walking, getting in Gavin’s personal space as he looked down at him. Gavin but back a curse as his legs bumped into the bed behind him. Nines ran a thin pale finger along Gavin’s jaw as he continued to speak. “Now that our little problem is gone, I hope you can start to enjoy your stay here.”

“What the fuck is wrong with you Nines?” Gavin tried pushing back against the android but he didn’t even budge. He felt a shock of fear when Nines pushed him back onto the bed. The android knelt down over him and pulled him in for a harsh kiss. He could feel bruises starting to form on his jaw from the grip Nines had on him. Then just as quickly as it started Nines was standing back up next to the bed and looking down at Gavin.

“Nothing is wrong with me Gavin. I’m just- expressing my affections for you.” His cold eyes focused on the bruises starting to form. “I don’t want to hurt you Gavin, but if you struggle when we kiss, I’ll have to hold you down.”

He clenched his hands and swung a fist as Nines, cursing when the android caught it with ease. Nines just looked at before dropping the fist and slapping him. Gavin hit the ground hard, spitting out blood and cursing again. He climbed back up to his feet and raised his fists in front of him. Nines hit him again, Gavin blocking the hit with his arms and sliding back. He missed the android’s LED turning red for a moment before a hand caught him in the throat. Gavin felt himself shoved down onto the bed, panic overriding his brain as he clawed at the hand pinning him down by his throat. He could hear the blood rushing in his ears as Nines leaned down and whispered to him. “I love you Gavin, why would you want me to punish you?” He kicked against the android, luckily catching him in the area of the thirium regulator. Nines eased up of his crushing grip and stepped back, his hand pressing against his stomach.

Gavin gasped for air and shoved himself back further into the bed, his back against the wall and watching Nines with bloodshot eyes. Nines straightened up and swiftly unbuttoned his shirt, ignoring the way Gavin tensed up and got ready to bolt. He reached down to his regulator, blue blood leaking from where Gavin’s kick had shifted it out of place. Without even a blink he pulled out his regulator and pushed it back in, firmly locking it back in place. He frowned at Gavin before turning around and walking out of the room, the click of the lock sounded like a gunshot.

Gavin pulled his legs against his chest and rested his head on them. His throat hurt, his mouth was slowly bleeding from where he bit his cheek, he just knew his face was already becoming covered in bruises and worst of all- his eyes burned with tears. Gavin felt weak, scared, betrayed. He thought he knew Nines, his partner, his friend, but it turned out to all be a lie. Sure Nines had been acting a little odd for the past month, but he had brushed it off. Gavin curled up tighter, fighting the urge to cry as he thought over who would even notice he was missing. He wasn’t even sure how long he had even been missing. Was it just a day? Or had he been unconscious for more than a day?

He laid down on the bed, making sure his back was against the wall and he had a clear view of the door. Gavin shoved down the tears threatening to overwhelm him. He wouldn’t let himself cry though. He wouldn’t let himself show weakness, even if that thing wasn’t in the same room as him, Gavin worried he could be watching. He wasn’t sure how much time had passed before he fell asleep.

the other. Bronze skeletons on a brushed steel base. Limited edition of
just three sculptures. via:skullappreciationsociety

Item: a pair of enslaved skeleton torsos cursed to spend eternity holding up a coffee table. They each blame the other for their predicament and will backtalk, insult, and throttle one another given the chance.

look out for yourself and your buds

Why shouldn’t you wash your face in the shower?

We tend to shower with water hotter than the sink, and the skin on our face doesn’t take it well. It strips the healthy oils from your face, and then your face overcompensates by spitting out twice as much oil, while your skin suffers being dry.

I hate when people say “don’t”, though. It’s absolutely fine to wash your face in the shower if you turn the heat down a bit while doing so. The temperature that feels just warmer than lukewarm on your body will still feel hot on your face, and that’s the temp you should wash with daily. (Steaming your face with a hot rag is fine, because you aren’t actively washing and rinsing, and skin types are different, but generally washing in shower temps will cause a very oily/broken out and simultaneously dry face).

antibiotics DO WHAT???

EXACTLY go back to that
