Gyro arrived at his usual hour to the lab. Usually, no one was here at five am. Fenton never arrived before six. And there he was, staring, waiting for him.

"Hello, Dr. Gearloose."

"Intern. Good morning. You're early." He placed his lunch and his bag on his desk.

"I am."

Gyro ignored him completely. He was good at that. Fenton frowned. "So, any interesting stuff you've done recently?"

Gyro sighed. "Intern, I'm not stupid. If this is about that rose bouquet I left to your mother, it was a get well gift. Because that's what you do for people in the hospital, right?"

Sometimes Fenton forgot Gyro knew how to read people and how straightforward he could be.

"Ugh! Fine! It's about that. Why did you do it?"

Gyro stared. "Because I damn pleased to do it, intern." He was getting a bit annoyed.

"You've been acting weird recently, Gyro." Fenton stood in front of him

"What is wrong with you? Should I check the neurotransmitters in the Gizmo suit?"

"Do you like my mom?"

"WHAT!?

Gyro dropped his documents. "What the hell, Fenton!?"

Fenton winced. "Wait, you're not-"

"No! What makes you think that!?" Gyro kneeled so he could pick up his papers.

"Sorry! It's just that, I mean, you saying she was gorgeous and then the flowers and you guys suddenly acting friendly to each other when all you wanted to do before was to gut each other to death and-"

Gyro held up a hand and Fenton stopped his rant. Gyro sighed. "Your mom is a beautiful woman, and even a blind guy would see it. Also, we started being friendly for your sake." He arched an eyebrow. "Is there another reason as to why you suddenly have it against me and believing I liked your mother in a romantic way?"

"I..." Fenton looked down. "Mom doesn't have the best track record in relationships." He quietly answered. "So I was kind of worried that you... well... didn't turned out to be what she thought or might break her heart."

"I would never do that."

"I know... I mean, all I want is for my mom to be happy."

"I see." Gyro looked away.

Fenton sighed. "Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acused you of something like that. Maybe I should just go and do some patrolling."

After Fenton left in the Gizmo suit, Gyro sighed.

"Can this day get any worse?"

Lil Bulb broke his coffee machine a few minutes later, but Gyro couldn't bring himself to scold him for it. He just felt... sad, per say.

He didn't really understood it, he thought it was because Fenton thought he would ever hurt Mrs. Cabrera.

But Gyro being himself, ignored these thoughts and proceeded to work. He was like that.

Excuse the tardiness for updating and why it is so short. This is mostly a fill-up chapter, the good stuff will come later. Review!
