Chapter 7: An Unforgetting Experience

' Click '

I turned on the TV manually and sat down on the couch, with Luna plopping herself right next to me. She laid herself down quite close to me than I anticipated, but nothing that was too serious.

I looked at her for a second as she sat next to me, seeing her face filled with longing-excitement, waiting to experience TV for the first time. It looked as if she waited years on end for this moment.
"**Hm...**"
I clicked on the tv and switched to a channel that I happened to watch frequently whenever I got bored or switched to, to drown the silence of my home, and that was usually family guy, or some other cartoon that popped up on another channel.

It was an episode where Stewie and Brian went time traveling together on some quest. Of course I chuckled to myself at the horrendous yet funny jokes and cutaways they broadcasted on their show, but from glancing over to Lucy, a lot of the jokes seemed to kinda fly over her head, which in my case was a bit expected.
However, at moments when she did catch the joke, she did laughed!
And oddly enough... to me, it was kinda... cute.

"**Oh hey Dave, it's me your conscious again, uhhhh... remember when you let a scary monster from the back of a super-Walmart come into your house?!

I know, bu-...

A-a-ah! No! She is not cute!

But... her lau-...

NO!**"

My train of self-conscious arguing was briefly interrupted by her arm gently touching against my knee. Noticing from her previous spot, it looked as if she nudged herself closer to me.

"**. . . NO!!**"

I brushed my sub-conscious off to the side and continued to let my mind indulge into the show with Lucy and laugh a bit more. But It was about another 20 minutes when Lucy made the next move.

It got into an intense part of the show when both Brian and Stewie were having trouble getting back home with their teleporter. It hit the point of climax when they were bolting to get into the teleporter on time, making Lucy grip the couch with one paw and the other onto my hand, which happened to be laying right next to both her and I.

In an instant, my heart started to pump once I felt the soft padding on her palm and fingers touch the top of my hand, making me blush a hue of pinkish red. She probably must've not realized it that she was squeezing my hand judging by how into the show she was. Her eyes were focused on the event happening in front of her, not letting one detail go unnoticed. 
It was interesting to watch her become so interested into a show that was meant for laughs, but my sub-conscious on the other hand...

"**OH SHIT, OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK, SHES TOUCHING YOUR HAND OH FUCK CODE RED I REPEAT CODE RED, S H E   I S   T O U C H I N G   Y O U R   H A N D!**"

My body froze up along with the arm trapped under her, leaving my arm to become numb from the pressure being put on it.
The intense moment of the show came to an end, with Stewie and Brian making it home safely, and Lucy's tense body coming to a cease. You'd think a show like this wouldn't be so intensifying for a creature like her, but I guess it's just the thrill of the experience, I guess...
She looked down at the black couch that she was still hanging onto and realized that her hand was attached to mine. Her eyes grew wide as she looked at me staring right at her with my reddish pink face, quickly letting go of my hand.
"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't realize I was holding your hand! I thought it was the couch... heh..."
She gave a nervous smile while scratching the back of her head. A hint of red started to appear from her cheeks.
"...n-no no! It's ok! You're fine!..."
We sat there in silence for a few seconds, looking away from each other and hiding our faces until the theme song of Family Guy started to play.
"Ooh, another one!"
She turned herself around in amazement again as the show started to broadcast a new episode.

"Uh hey!... uh, imma go to the bathroom real quick!"
"Oh okay. Well hurry it up, a new episode is about to play!"

"Y-Yea yea, sure!..."
I got up and shuffled my way to the bathroom, feeling for a second that I was in another person's house.
"**Why did it seem so long to get to my bathroom?**"
Closing the door behind me, I leaned up against it and let myself slide to the floor, putting my hands on my head in disbelief.
I sat there, letting the only thing to fill the silence in the air was the tv playing in the living room.

"What the fuck just happened in there??..."

Hey guys!
Sorry again for the long wait! I've had a lot of things happen these past few weeks, including my first ever job and my first week of college starting. I haven't really had the motivation to do a lot since, especially writing this chapter, but I finally took the time to sit down and finish it up for you guys. Hopefully you all enjoy it so far and I'll see you all in the next one!🙂
