Char could honestly say he hadn't seen that one coming. Not just the whole scritchies thing, because scritchies were generally not a thing covered in his course material. But how it felt, too.

See, Char'd been around for a while, sure. And he'd gotten comfortable enough with Green that the dude could take him by the horns and live to tell the tale. But getting to be okay with touch had taken a long, long time. So long, that nobody had ever really gotten around to trying chest scritchies out.

So Char froze. Char stared up at Blue like he wasn't sure whether he was outraged or irritated or just incredibly bewildered.

Char's tail made a loud embarrassing "thunk" sound as it started wiggling like mad down below his desk.
