August Rush Day 6: Almost Human "Jerk"
Drabble written for Day 6 of the August Rush challenge over at 
1_million_words. Photo prompts are here.
Fandom: Almost Human
Pairings: John Kennex+Dorian+Detective Richard Paul
Rating: T for Kennex's potty mouth.
Summary: John and Richard have a verbal spat. Because Paul is a jerk.
Author's Notes; Double back flip drabble with a half twist. 257 words. Side note: I don't remember much about this particular character, but I think he was the one always giving Kennex lip. So, if I'm wrong, please feel free to let me know.
“Paul,” Kennex growled, “you’re an asshole.”
Detective Richard Paul shrugged, smug grin firmly in place on his troll-like face. “Not like you’re the first person to ever tell me that. I do what I have to in order to get the job done.”
“And steamrolling anyone in your path,” John added. “He may be annoying,” he continued, “but these are the reasons why my DRN is better than a human partner like yourself.”
“Oh yeah? Do go on and inform me why a synthetic is better than another living, breathing man.”
Kennex sat up, forearms pressing against the edge of his desk. “Dorian is always watching, observing, taking everything in. He’s learning, trying to be a better DRN, more human-like. He’s succeeding, too. At an alarming rate.”
“But?” Paul waited for the downside to this argument, one little glitch in the system so he could prove Kennex wrong.
“But, he has something you’ll never have. Loyalty. Now get out of my face you arrogant jerk. Go annoy some other detective. I don’t have time for this.”
Stunned, Paul stared at Kennex, unable to reconcile the words he’d said into coherence. “But?”
“But you heard the man,” Dorian said from behind him. “Go now before I remove you.”
He glared, first at the human, then at the android. “Fine, but this discussion is far from over, Kennex.”
John smiled and gave a little wave as Paul stormed off. “Nice timing, Dorian.”
“Thank you, John.” Dorian preened at the compliment, knowing his extra-keen hearing would come in handy eventually.
