"Julian, would you please stop squirming!?"

Another squirm made the covers rustle.

"I'm sorry, but I've got an itch I can't reach."

Turning over and facing his bed partner, Garak asked:

"Then why don't you ask me, instead of preventing us both from sleeping?"

Julian shrugged in the dark.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just not used to having anyone around willing to scratch my back."

Garak's voice took on a tender aspect.

"Well, there's more to a relationship than sex, you know."

"I know, but- ooooohhhhhh.... right there..."

Garak smiled in the dark and scratched his lover's back.
