Sweet Home with Darling
“Darling!”
The image of her flickered and wavered on the television set, her face pushed up against the lens of whatever extraterrestrial camera was recording her likeness. It made it look as if her right cheek was squished against the glass of the set, as if someone had opened up the television, folded her up, and dropped her inside.
Sitting cross-legged on a cushion before the set, Moroboshi Ataru sniffed airily, folded his arms across his chest, and looked away.
“Darling!” cried Lum from the other side of the galaxy. “Darling! I’m sending kisses to you!”
She made little gestures at the screen, blinking and blowing kisses, her entire body tensing and relaxing as she did.
With another sniff, he replied, still not looking her way.
“Yes, well, that’s just as may, but really I’d much prefer the real thing, you know.”
“Oh, darling, don’t say that!” Lum called back with a pout. “You know I have to be here for the conference with the Astromians, otherwise I’d be there with you now! It’s enough that I’m sending you kisses through the stereovision. Right, darling? Darling? Right?”
“Well, Lum, I don’t know,” Ataru said, still looking away. “I might be driven into the arms of another woman in your absence, I might be forced to seek solace in the arms of the next major babe who crosses my path.”
He chuckled to himself, his eyes bulging as he imagined the scene, his hands fondling the air.
On the television set, Lum giggled girlishly.
“Oh, darling, don’t be silly. You know my kisses can home in on you. They’ll find you no matter how far away I am.”
Ataru’s face paled, and for a moment, he was frozen in place, hands mid imaginary grope.
“W-What did you say?” he asked, his head slowly turning to her.
From the kitchen, there can the sound of breaking glass as something travelling incredible speeds punctured through the window.
On the television set, Lum smiled and wink.
“Oh, darling, you know I’ll always find you. You’re my darling, after all.”
