Alit relaxed on the couch with Gilag. He had done 5,000 push-ups, 10,000 sit-ups, and various other exercises. Now he was sweaty, tired, and bored. Gilag was infatuated with the American Idol showing on the TV. How they got that show when they were in Japan, Alit had no idea. Alit glanced over at Gilag and got an idea. With a sly smile, he moved closer to Gilag, then a little closer until they were touching at the hip. Gilag finally noticed and looked at Alit.
"Ummm... What are you doing?" Gilag asked.
"I just want to cuddle a little, kay?" Alit replied and snuggled up to the large barian.
Gilag blinked and slowly nodded before freezing up. "Uhhh... How do you cuddle?"
Alit rolled his eyes. His mating partner(aka boyfriend in human terms) could be a bit slow. "It's instinctual. You'll know what to do."
"If you say so, buddy." Gilag replied. Alit grinned and placed his head on Gilag's shoulder. Gilag put his arm around Alit and hugged him close. After a little bit, Alit turned his head and kissed Gilag's cheek. Gilag was so surprised he fell over in shock and Alit landed on top of him.
Alit giggled, "This is a little awkward."
"Sorry about that, Alit. I'll get up." Gilag apologized.
"Nah. I kinda like being like this." Alit plucked Gilag's suspenders like a guitar string.
"Um..." Gilag was at a loss for words.
"Hey, I thought you liked being close to me." Alit teased. He rested his head in Gilag's chest. Gilag rubbed the little barian's head and, much to Gilag's surprise and amusement, Alit purred like a kitten. Gilag did it again and Alit purred even louder.
"Heh, looks like Durbe isn't the only cat-like barian." Gilag laughed.
"Hey!" Alit started to protest before Gilag rubbed his head and he started to purr again.
"Did you have a crush on Cathy at one point or what?" Gilag teased.
"Not exactly, but I did stalk her a bit while I had a crush on Kotori. You know, since she's her friend and all. Don't worry, you're the only lover for me now." Alit snuggled closer.
"You stalked her?"
"Yeah, I guess her cats wore off on me." Alit shrugged.
Gilag rolled his eyes and kept rubbing Alit's head listening to the tanned alien's purring.
