Connor had told you to shut and cover your eyes shortly before you both arrived to your first destination of the day. You stepped out the car once you heard your door open, Connor carefully helped you out. You quietly laughed as he urged you to keep them closed tightly and to not take a peek. He lead you inside a building and it was so hard not to take a single peek, but you trusted in the android that it'd be a pleasant surprise if you didn't. He took your hand and guided it before placing it against a surface in front of you. You felt at the cold surface before rolling your fingers over it,
"I-Is that...glass?"

"You can open your eyes now." he instructed and you did, your eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful and florescent sight in front of you. You gasped quietly and your mouth fell agape as you soaked in the sight of the bright fish.

"They're so pretty." you whispered, you watched as the fish swam up to where your hands were placed and you giggled to yourself.

If Connor didn't know how lame it'd sound, he'd say something along the lines of 'not as pretty as you'. Based on the films you've watched he knew the female always found that approach lame and 'cheesy' in a sense. He watched as your smile brightened the scene in front of him. He spoke quietly,
"They are very nice," he finally commented on the fish, "Let's go see what else they have to offer." he spoke before leading you down the aisle, you looked to both sides of you guys; the walls made of glass so that the fish was all you could see. You guys stumbled upon the section of the aquarium where kids could touch the different types of fish, even though you were indeed not a child, who could resist touching a fish?! You quickly approached the short glass tank and smiled as you watched kids giggle at the way the fish felt against their small hands before you stuck your hand in yourself; you quickly pulled out your hand at the foreign sensation. It felt very odd, different than what you'd expect but you returned your hand in curiousity. You quietly laughed and called Connor over from his previous distance he kept to watch you from, he came close and the much younger kids gawked up at him;possibly knowing he was an android. He looked at you; puzzled as to what you wanted. You grabbed his hand and stuck it into the tank,
"Don't they feel funny?!" You asked in disbelief at the feeling

He smiled and nodded at your joy,
"They do have quite an odd sensation to them."

You grazed you hand over a stagnant starfish,
"Have you ever touched a fish before? This is my first time."

"Yes, I have...not like this though."

"What do you mean?"

"I saved a fish once, returned it to its tank. I didn't really get to savor the touch, though."

"I see, that was very sweet of you." You smiled before pulling your hand from the tank and shaking the liquid off your hand back into the tank as best you can, Connor did the same. You both decided you'd move on so you headed to where the bigger fish would be, and you audibly gasped at the huge creature. You'd been to an aquarium before but nothing this fancy or this large a scale. You hurried to the glass, squeezing in between the crowd of people that stood around the spectacle as it swam around. It seemed happy as it looked down upon the people who crowded around it's home. Connor hesitantly joined you after having been waved over by you. He paid most of his attention to you and the joy in your eyes, you noticed that he was looking at you instead,
"Connor, are you even paying attention?" you nervously laughed under his intense stare, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He turned his head to peer up into the large tank,
"I am paying attention. I just...I'd much prefer to look at you, that's all."

You felt your face warm up just a bit,
"What? Why?" you looked away out of anxiousness
