Last night, watched the hockey games, and when I'd lean the other direction (still sitting beside him - at his request after the fight)... he'd reach his hand out and put his hand on my leg.
He also likes his back scratched and I have a cool horse type brush that makes for a good back scratcher. Since touch is something that can make a bond without the other person even realizing it... and he "lets" me... I spent an hour scratching his back, massaging his neck etc.
