Reader X TV

Chapter 4: What Do You Mean? (End)

I continued to stare blankly at Samuelsung. Words couldn't describe how I felt. I guess... confused. I have feelings for a TV. It's definitely not a "looks" related thing. It's more of a "love-for-compliments" thing. Though being complimented by a TV is still awkward. I felt it was best to come out and say it.
"Samuelsung..."

"Yes?"
"I think... I think I have feelings for you."

"I see," Samuelsung responded. "I feel the same." My heart started racing.

"But alas... I can't love you."

I froze. Can't love me? What does that mean? It's not like anyone has stepped inside my apartment yet. Or... is it another person or thing? Or is it just because I'm a human?
"What do you mean?" I asked, tears welling up behind my eyes. "I though we had something between us."

"I, too, think there is but... I just can't love you. I'm... I'm..." He stopped.

"You're what? Tell me!"
"I'm in love with Microsofia!"
I flinched. "M-Microsofia?" To my left, I heard my computer whir. I turned my head sharply. "My... computer?"
"It is true," my comp—I mean, Microsofia said. "When you would [insert-command: sleep], we would chat through the wires. We soon realized we were [insert-emotion: in-love]."

"But Samuelsung..."

"I am sorry. You are a wonderful human being. But I am incapable of maintaining a relationship with a human. It is not possible for something like me. I am deeply sorry."
"No, it's okay. I get it. You guys have more in common. You guys deserve a healthy relationship. I need a person."
"Perhaps we can [insert-command: work-something-out]. Like a three-way relationship?"
"You're really suggesting that?" I asked.

"I don't see why it can't work?" Samuelsung replied.
And with that, we had our relationship triangle. Samuelsung, Microsofia, and I never argued. We watched movies together (or at least, Samuelsung transfered the movie's binary code to Microsofia) and chatted for most of the day. Everything was peaceful. And that was how it stayed for years to come.

Until I got robbed and had to restart my life with a new TV. Rrrrrriiiiiipppppp.
