S.O comforts you for feeling clingy

*knock on door SFX*

Hey hun, have you seen my jacket? Oh, you have it. [pause] Why do you have it?

"no reason", huh? Something tells me the real reason is something embarrassing... Hmm... You were kneading it, weren't you?

*laughs* "No"? From how red you're getting I think the answer is "yes". Were you going to take a nap? You know, you could've asked me to cuddle if you really wanted to.

I know I've been busy lately, but like, I need breaks too! Come on, put on my jacket and we can cuddle.

What? Of course, it's okay! Honestly, it's kind of adorable; I've never had someone take my jacket before. Go on, put it on, I bet it'll look super cute on you.

Awh, I was right! Come on, put the hood up, too!

*sigh* [rapidly, excitedly] You're so cute, you know that? Your ears even hold up the hood and tent it *just* right and-- and-- god you're just so damn cute! And look! It fits you almost perfectly!

Come on, don't pout. It really *does* fit you super well.

Hey, it doesn't mean you're *that* small; it's a little big on me, to begin with, so... Anyway, let me get into bed with you so we can cuddle, okay?

There we are, now wrap your arms around me.

That's it, squeeze me as tight as you'd like.

[surprised] Not that tight!

I know what I said, but I didn't think you'd try to crush my ribs!

I'm just teasing, hun. You seem really uptight today, what's going on?

Buddy, I've known you for long enough to know when you're not having a good day. So, there are two options, you can either talk to me about it or I'm gonna have to give you some ear scritchies.

[teasingly] I'll take your headbutts as you choosing the scritchies.

*scritching SFX*

Yea, right there's the good spot; I've learned the spots you like the most, haven't I? Now, are you feeling any better?

No? Oh jeez, you must really be down in the dumps if even scritchies aren't helping. So, what's going on? Just not feeling it today or did something happen to knock the wind out of you?

It's me? [worried] Oh? What did I do?

Not like that? So, what is it then?

Honey, I can't help you if you keep being cryptic and talking in riddles. I *really* want to help you feel better.

It's about something you've done? Uhm, I don't remember you doing anything to upset me or anyone else in this house for that matter. Did you mess up with one of your friends or something?

You're worried you're clingy? How could you be clingy?

Well, yea, whenever we're doing something together we're usually cuddling, holding hands, you getting headpats or some other physical contact, but that doesn't make you clingy.

It doesn't because I say so.

No, that's actually the end of that conversation. *I* get to determine what's too much for me, okay?

Yea, I'd let you know if you were ever being too much. It'd be unfair of me to expect you to read my mind, you know?

I know you were worried about overstepping your bounds, and I can appreciate you thinking of me, but really, you shouldn't have to worry about being too much if I haven't said anything, okay? I don't want you to feel like you're walking on eggshells.

Uhm, this might be slightly off-topic, but does this have anything to do with why you took my jacket? Were you wanting to cuddle with me but were afraid of appearing clingy?

Oh, sweetheart... no... Like I said, you don't have to worry about overstepping some boundary that I haven't told you about. It's always okay to ask for what you need, okay? I never want you to feel like you can't come up to me with what you're feeling.

I know I've been busy lately, and I'm sorry that I haven't been able to chill with you as much as I want to, but that doesn't mean I suddenly don't want to cuddle my adorable little kitty friend. I've honestly missed this *so* much.

Oh, but you *are* my kitten. I saw that little smile you had. You like me calling you that, don't you?

Aw, don't be so bashful my little kitten, I *know* you love that nickname. Your blush is simply too adorable.

Yea, yea, hide your face in my chest. Surely I can't feel the heat from your cheeks if you do that.

Uhm, is that your tail I feel wrapping around my leg? Are you trying to claim me?

No, no, it's fine. Your tail's really soft and fluffy. Just, wondering what your -- 'intentions' are you little flirt.

Hun, I told you, it's not you being clingy; you're just really affectionate, you know? I like it; it's much better than you being distant and not wanting any physical contact at all. Dated someone like that for a little bit, was *not* fun.

I know you worry a lot about how you're coming off, but I promise you that you never come off too strong. I see you as a squishy, soft, and lovable little neko that needs physical touch to feel safe and wanted. How could I ever dislike that?

Oh, more headbutts? You're wanting some headpats now, aren't you? Well, you know, if you want something you're gonna have to use your words.

Ah-ah; don't talk to my chest, look me in the eyes and say it.

Oh, that's too hard? Well, I guess someone isn't getting any more scritchies.

There you go, now, tell me what you want~

That's a good kitty.

*scritchies SFX*

Such a loveable little neko. I couldn't have you any other way.
