Mm. Since we don't treat them appropriately. Much safer in your hands.
[ This is a nice reversal of positions; in the past it's been Gregor doing the hair stroking. He decides immediately that he likes it, enough to blindly grope for the notebook and drop it behind him on the night table without looking. Fortunately, Gregor doesn't keep anything there but a lamp set far back toward the wall, so the journal teeters on the edge but lands safely.
This leaves him with more of Miles accessible, and him free to snuggle into him more closely. There's years of unexpressed desire to cuddle behind it, with just enough experience with Cordelia encouraging it for Gregor to know how to express it. Nonetheless, it's a drastic difference from his public persona, which has a personal space bubble a full meter in radius even with people he knows. ]
