~Detroit: Become Human: Connor X Listener SFW: Community~{Patreon Exclusive}

Connor's first Pride event couldn't have gone better in your eyes....

Contains: Pride Events, Queer Euphoria, Established Relationship, Talking about Queer Community

I just wanted the little guy to have never been to a Pride event before! That was one of the main motivations of this script lol. I threw in some of my own experiences with how I've felt going to Pride events as an adult (wasn't allowed to go until I moved out of my parent's house), and I also tried to connect them a little bit to the Detroit universe with Androids integrating with humans! I hope you all enjoy!

Connor: *Door opens*

*deep exhale*

That was……wonderful.

*door closes*

I almost didn’t want that to end. What a way to celebrate!

*kiss*

Thank you……

*pause*

How do I feel now that I’ve officially been to my first Pride Event?

*long pause*

No it’s good feeling, Darling, I promise……I just……I think I feel……lighter? If that makes sense?

Almost…..invigorated?

*pause*

Oh, yes,  the roses the other couple gave us! That was so incredibly sweet……

Here, I’ll grab a vase for them, we can get some flower food later tonight or tomorrow to make them last longer…..

And the little pride flag is so cute! I think it will look great on the dining room table……

*chuckles*

Yes! I can’t stop smiling! All of the colors and the amount of people. I mean, I know from statistics that the Detroit LGBTQIA+ Community is quite large, so it makes logical sense that a Pride Event would be at the scale that it was ... but it’s an entirely different thing when you’re in the middle of it, right?

*pause*

The parade, and all of the performers—who were fantastic weren’t they?—It’s amazing the effort they put into things like this, especially with the summer weather! It can’t be easy…….

And to see so many smiles and happy people *gasp* and all of the dogs! So many happy dogs with their families.

*pause*

I suppose……something about stepping out into a giant crowd of people and feeling like…..you belong…….is so absolutely freeing…….

Feeling it on that scale…..it’s something I’ve never experienced…….

We didn’t have to worry about how anyone was going to react and I didn’t feel like I was going to have to defend us…..defend you…..and…….

It was like I could feel the tension I didn’t even realize I had, just…..disappear…..

*pause*

The community……I suppose is what I was feeling, wasn’t it? It didn’t matter who you were…..you just….belonged…..

Truly something that I haven’t felt before….

Thank you…..so much……I genuinely can’t thank you enough for bringing me along……

*pause*

*softly*

I love you…….I know I’ve said it a lot today…..there were just so many moments where I would look at you and just……feel this overwhelming force of love coming out of me…..I just couldn’t help but say it…..

*pause*

What about you? What were some of your favorite things?

*long pause*

*chuckles*

I mean, sure! You seeing me enjoy everything for the first time can be your favorite part…..I just hope I didn’t embarrass you with all my gawking

*pause*

*soft kiss*

*exhales softly* I’m glad……

But you agree? The community was the best part?

Yes……it’s also…..even though we’re back home now…..just the idea that there are that many people in Detroit alone who are out there……who are part of the community…..or at least allies to it…….*deep sigh* It gives me…….hope…..I think…..

And seeing humans with Androids, and Androids with other Androids too…..it’s just……I suppose this is the balance and peace that Marcus was striving for since the beginning……

I thought I understood it before……but now…….

Thank you, Darling……I honestly can’t say it enough……

*pause*

It makes me want to work harder……because being out with people, with community…..it should always feel like that. We shouldn’t be afraid to go outside and just be……be it Human, or Android……

I want every day to feel like today……..and while I know that’s…..a logical fallacy…..I can’t help but hope……

That even with the ups and downs of life…..that there is no fear in our fellow man……or….machine…..*chuckles*

Only camaraderie…..community……family…..

*pause*

Is that too big of a dream?

*pause*

*chuckles*

Thank you, Sweetheart…….

*deep sigh*

*soft kiss*

Do you think that we could perhaps convince Hank to come next year and bring Sumo? I’m sure he’d love to get all the attention…….and maybe Hank could also use a bit of what we saw today…….

I don’t know….I think we all need a little faith restoring in humanity……

*chuckles*

And you gave it to me in spades…….

*soft kiss* Happy Pride, Darling…..
