“Ah! Interesting.” Niles wrote down the results of his latest scientific test into his notebook. Niles’ latest test subject, his boyfriend, was currently in the form of a curious squirrel monkey. They sat on Niles’ scientific table before him. They craned their head forwards in an attempt to peer at Niles’ notes. “Ah ah ah. I can’t have you looking at these notes, my kiss.” Niles noticed their head droop in response to his words. “Nothing personal, I just can’t have anything affect these test results. They’re too important.” He reached forwards and engulfed the top of their head with his hand. He gave them a soft stroke on the head with his thumb, petting their favorite spot between their ears. “Nothing personal at all. I love you, dear.”
