Brief moments of snuggling before leaving for work are wonderful. Having been _asked_ for them is... amazing, really.

It's odd, but in a really, _really_ good way, to be asked to do things that I want to do anyway, especially if I'd not actually consciously realized that I want to (I have a fairly strong "don't wake sleeping people' thing in my head, although I'm getting better at accepting that most other people don't have as much trouble with getting to and staying asleep as I do).

I think the last time I sought anyone out for brief cuddling before leaving for work/school was when I was still in junior high or possibly high school. And that was because school _terrified_ me.

Having someone with whom I enjoy, crave, or otherwise actively enjoy physical contact ask me for specific kinds of cuddly physical contact is amazing. I don't tend to get that much. Hell, I don't tend to get asked for touch from most of the people that I am close to, let alone any specific kind that was actively missed by them.

Asking is an excellent way to reinforce desired behaviors, since I don't necessarily trust/pick up on non-verbal stuff. :)

I'm amused to notice myself randomly grinning because there is an australian_joe sleeping in my bed. Both today, at work, and over the long weekend, sometimes, when I'd look over when he was napping.

Yeah. Joy. :)
