A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Well slap me thrice and hand me to me mother! The H cat just got in my lap!

Kidlet has been excited about the meteor shower since he found out about it yesterday. We've been fogged in though, can't even see the sky much less the meteors. Undeterred, kidlet wanted to give stargazing a try. So kidlet dragged a sleeping bag and I dragged a blanket out to the big rope hammock on the back deck. Kidlet and I had been there about 15 minutes chatting and fog-gazing when H wandered out.

Every other time H has joined kidlet and me in a seating arrangement like this (such as a couch) he's been careful to put kidlet in between us.

We were laying the short way on the hammock, with our legs hanging over the edge - easier to rock it that way. H looked at us for a moment then sidled in next to ME. I lifted a corner of my blanket and he snuggled himself under it. Think 3 people in a hammock now - arms and legs all jumbled together and gravity pretty much ensuring that H and I were cuddled up together. My head was on his shoulder, his arm interlinked with mine, full on total body length cuddle - and he didn't pull away - not one bit. He didn't reach to hold or caress me either but holy cow!! He stayed for maybe 10 minutes but with both of us in shorts and him with only part of a blanket it got cold for him out there. (Well, one side was warm anyway. ;))

When he went back inside, he went straight to the MBR closet and got a jacket, hence my thought that he was cold. However... said jacket rides low on the nether regions and I suspect he may be hiding a very positive reaction to the cuddle.

I am tickled pink and LMAO.

Edit: OMG - it's not a jacket; it's a bathrobe ... that goes to his knees. LMAO even more!!!

And no, I'm not snooping or stalking him. There are french doors from the MBR to the deck so I saw him get the robe but it was just a silhouette. He just walked by and he's got a bathrobe over his clothes.
