It didn't come as much of a surprise that Cappy was more attracted to male hamsters than he was to female hamsters. That's why no one in the clubhouse seemed to react to seeing him lying naked in the bedroom of the older male hamster who owned and lived in the clubhouse where all the hamsters would come to play. What had surprised them all was that Boss, the older male hamster, was sleeping beside him on the straw-covered floor and that the two appeared to be cuddling each other as they slept. Cappy continually muttered the name of the field hamster who lay beside him and held him in a protective embrace, while Boss seemed to remain silent with a content smile on his face. Most of the hamsters assumed that he was imagining Bijou lying beside him, while other hamsters assumed that since Cppy was muttering Boss's name, it was only natural to assume that Boss was muttering Cappy's name.
Hamtaro on the other hand had found the entire display to be extremely confusing, unlike most of the other hamsters in the room he had been unaware that such an intimacy that he was seeing between the two male hamsters was permitted to occur between two male hamsters. He had always assumed that acts such as cuddling, kissing and hugging were reserved for two hamsters who were of opposite genders. He had always assumed that because he was a male hamster, his mate would have to be a female hamster. The thought never crossed his mind that the option was available to choose a male hamster as his mate.
And now that he realized that the option was available, he started to seriously consider who he would choose as a mate if he wanted to pursue a relationship with a male hamster. Oxnard was the first hamster to come to mind, but since he appeared to be more interested in sunflower seeds and his girlfriend than anything else, Hamtaro assumed that he wouldn't be very interested in becoming romantically involved with him.
The second hamster to come to mind was Boss, the hamster who was currently cuddling with Cappy in a pile of straw in his bedroom muttering a name that he hadn't yet been able to understand. He assumed that either Boss was speaking extremely quietly in his sleep, or that his voice was being muffled by Cappy's body. Boss always seemed like a loyal, knowledgeable, brave and strong friend who might react dramatically to him claiming to be interested in male hamsters, but would end up offering all of the support that he could.
At that moment Boss released Cappy from his embrace and rolled onto his side. The smaller white hamster who had been holding onto Boss' body seemed to grope the empty air for a few seconds in a futile effort to be reunited with the hamster before settling down. It was then that Boss, free from Cappy's noise-absorbing fur, was able to finally mutter the name that Hamtaro had been hoping to avoid hearing for the past 45 seconds as he was having a life-changing revelation.
"Snoozer." Boss muttered with a contented smile on his face as he lay on the straw. While in a different part of the clubhouse, snoozing contently in an old sock, a brown hamster smiled.
"Boss." The hamster said with a sleepy giggle as he dreamt about the things that he and Boss would do later in the night that he knew would make him tired the next morning.
