"HOLD ON THERE LITTLE BUDDY." I snatched Abby from Leo and we both went inside my room.

I hope mom doesn't kill leo with her baseball bat.

"What did you do to him?" I asked Abby straight to the point.

"Nothing." She carelessly answered.

"Seriously?" I'm starting to get pissed.

"Yeah." She flipped her hair. And played with her doll.

"Then what's with the 'You're finally awake', 'All thanks to you.'" I fired back at her.

Abby exhaled loudly.

"A while ago when you were at school and I was playing inside your laboratory, I was startled to hear some noise when I noticed that he was half awake and was reaching for something on your table. I walked towards him and handed him the connector, he then connected it to his neck and I also left him some clothes to wear, that was it." My little sister ignored me after and continued to play with her doll.

I exited my room and looked for leo.

"Leo?" I peeked through my mom's room. No cyborg.

 I headed directly on our kitchen where I can hear some murmurs.

A blasted laugh greeted me as I enter our kitchen. Mom's baseball bat was lying on the countertop which was a good sign, I guess.

Well, she can easily snatch a knife in the kitchen if she wanted to.

"Oh, there you are honey! You made a very funny cyborg! Oh God. He was tearing my stomach away from my soul. I-I just- Hahahaha." My mom clutched her belly and eventually, her laughter died down.

"That was hilarious leo." Mom smiled warmly at leo.

"Mom, look. I can keep him in my laboratory if you wanted to." I worriedly told her.

"What are you telling sweetie? Keep him here. He's now a part of the family." Mom opened the fridge and looked for some food.

"Are you- are you sure it's okay?" I was greeted by a confused mom when she emerged after being swallowed by the fridge.

"Of course I'm! Why not? I mean look at him... And we also have a spare room upstairs." I did look at him.

Leo was just casually standing beside the fridge looking at me.

Hands inside his jeans, messed up hair and hungry eyes.

"Why did you name him leo by the way sweetie?"

He looked out of place in this old house, looking like a Greek God fresh from a runway show.

"Sweetie? Are you okay?"

How did I even create someone as flawless as him?
