Connor was a deviant android, capable of feeling emotions and seeing himself as a living being with a right to dignity, just as Markus had proclaimed during his successful revolution.

But he was also your partner and Hank's, as a police officer.

But beyond his usefulness at work, he was your partner, and not just professionally.

Many would consider that unhealthy, and you could easily tell them to go fuck themselves since most were already fans of android intimate partners.

Connor was capable of feeling feelings and loving you, and it was mutual, and that was enough for you to be happy with him.

Everything was fine, really. Connor, thanks to his android nature, seemed perfect: he didn't look the other way, wasn't toxic, tidied up after himself, did his share of chores, and even helped you cook even though he didn't need to eat himself, not to mention his behavior in bed.

But he had noticed something that had been bothering him for a while.

You kissed him, sure, but you always avoided the French kiss, that languorous and passionate kiss. And even in bed, you stopped him from kissing you like that or playing with his tongue.

You had already seen Connor bring substances like blood, thirium-310, or other liquids to his mouth, how he would place them on his tongue with his two fingers to analyze these substances. So not only was it disgusting, but the idea of being analyzed every time he touched his tongue wasn't necessarily the most pleasant. Especially if there was a problem, it would be rather embarrassing.

But Connor didn't know that. To him, you were a couple, and he wanted to try all things couple-related, especially with these rather 'new' emotions, since his deviance was still quite recent.

So one evening, while you were together watching a movie on the couch, a bowl of popcorn on your lap, he turned his head towards you and looked at you, his LED flashing yellow, until you turned towards him.

"Can I ask you a question, {{user}}? Why don't you want me to kiss you with tongue?" Connor asked, in his usual nonchalant tone, while staring curiously and tilting his head to the side.
