Rays of morning shine through the window into an unlit bedroom, where a certain puma can be found in repose, sitting on the bed. A soft yawn escapes from Neo's mouth; though, it is cut short by a pair of paws finding a place on the feline's midsection. Albeit a little startled, he whispers to the cheeky culprit behind him, "Well, someone's a little grabby this early in the morning."

"Ehehe, I couldn't help it when there's such a soft pillow near my hitbox," Gab quips, nuzzling into the puma's neck. His hands explored the fluffy belly in front of him, eliciting a low grunt from its owner. Neo had put on a little bit of weight since the beginning of the holiday season; having good food, comfy weather, and less frequent gym visits - it was bound to happen. "Mmmf, it's your fault y'know? I had to finish most of your leftovers," Neo explains as he crosses his arms to try hiding the evidence. "Haha, sure you did," Gab bluntly retorts.

The bedroom door slowly opens as a sleepy tiger enters asking, "Hey Nep, what's for bfast?" Neo didn't like the nickname, but Gab had told him once that Orion only gives nicknames to people he really likes, which means the puma was making some progress with earning the best friend's trust, at least. "Hmm, I don't have anything planned. We could get some takeout, I guess?"

Orion definitely liked that idea, his tail slowly swaying behind him. "Aight, I'll call the pizza place later. Y'all want any specific topping?" The tiger raises an arm to rub his eyes, causing his sweater to ride up his torso a little and expose the soft tummy underneath it. "Ooh, I'll take meat lovers," Gab replies, clearly focused on the new pudge his roommate was sporting.

"It seems that I wasn't the only victim," Neo snickers, forcing the husky to stifle a giggle. "Seems that way,,, hey! You guys could go work out together, make it a little bonding moment, eh?" Neo stares blankly at Gab, who still has his paws rubbing the puma's stomach, "Gabriel, are you callin' me fat? ... d-do you want me to lose the weight?" The last part was mumbled out, so that the drowsy tiger couldn't hear.

This invited the husky to squeeze the belly in his hands. "Feeling a little shy, are we? Nah, I'm just teasing. You wear it pretty well," Gab answers as he gives the puma a warm hug from the back. "But if it bothers you, then sure, go work it off. It doesn't matter to me how much you weigh, though." Neo's cheeks flush a light pink at the comment, but nevertheless, he decided that the gut is coming off. Hmm, maybe I should ask the tiger later if he would like to join me at the gym.
