Error Heart

x

I spent most of time after school with leo. Trying to figure out things he can and cannot do.

I was also figuring out if he has any defects, it turns out that his eyes were a bit blurred and his right arm cannot function well. He also cannot stand too long for his lower body cannot support the weight of his upper body, so I have to strengthen his legs a bit more.

After successfully changing his right arm and cleaning his lenses, I asked him to take off his pants.

Yes, you read that right.

"What?" He looked confused after I asked him that.

"What are you going to do to me?" He stood up and levelled his face to mine.

"How am I going to check your legs if you are wearing your pants? Well, I gave you boxers to wear right?" He stepped back and nodded at me.

He unbuttoned his pants and slowly slid it off of his legs, he carefully placed his pants in the makeshift bed and looked at me as if to say 'now what?'

"Okay, now sit on the bed." He does as I say. And my inner self is currently so proud for bossing him around.

I bowed down in front of him and checked his left leg first. His left leg seems fine and needed just a little bit of adjustments. So I continued and examine his right leg next.

Bingo, I needed to completely change his right leg because I was stupid enough to forget to put on the metal needed.

"Leo, does it hurt when I touch you here?" I pressed hard at the area where I forgot to put the metal on.

He nodded slowly.

Leo was looking somewhere else and he seems to be avoiding any eye contact. What's happening to him?

He was really quiet when I started to examining his eyes a while ago. And it is making me nervous.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you alright? Does it really hurt?" I stood up and grabbed his left hand.

He simply shook his head and snatched his hand from my grip.

"What's up with you? I'm asking you nicely, and here you are bitching me off." I grabbed his left arm to catch his attention but he doesn't seem to bother.

"Whatever." I threw the phone that I bought for him before going home, on the makeshift bed.

It was supposed to be my gift to him, but damn he is pissing me off today.

Guess cyborgs have mood swings too.

"Call me when you're done being an arsehole." I was near the door when he spoke loud enough for me to hear.

"My heart is beating so fast lea." I was taken aback and started to walk as fast as I could to where he is.

"What?! Why didn't you tell me a while ago?" I was in a state of panic and started to type some codes onto the computer.

I was running like a mad woman around the laboratory looking for his cord so I can plug him onto the computer and check what is happening on with his heart rate, and when I finally found it, I quickly plugged it onto him and the other side of it on the computer.

"Since when was this happening?" I asked him like a doctor concerned with his patient.

"Whenever you are around." I instantly stopped typing codes and stared at him with my mouth wide open.

"What? W-why? Am I scaring you?" I sat beside him and grabbed his chin so that this time he has no other options but to look at me.

I saw his heart rate increase in the computer screen when I touched him.
