Cuddles with Gally were the literal best thing in the world. He was like a huge thick teddy bear and when he wrapped his arms around you, every scary thing on the planet ceased to exist. Woe to anyone who interrupted Gally when he was cuddling with you. The last time one of the Medjacks tried it, they ended up in the Glade's lake.
Gally liked being possessive and clingy when you two were cuddling, and you didn't mind at all. But today you could tell that he had a lot on his mind.
"What's up?" You asked him, playing with his fingers.
"Nothing."
"Gally..." Gally needed to be prodded sometimes to get him to open up to you, but you had mastered the art of getting him to talk.
"Tell me what's wrong." You gently ordered.
"Just Hank and some of the other guys."
"What about them?" You encouraged.
"Hank found a book that came up in the box about some workers who formed a union and went on strike. Alby took the book away before anyone else could see it, but Hank spread it around. Now the guys are demanding more time off or they'll go on strike. Alby's mad because this could ruin everything, we've worked for... I'm mad because the lazy bums have enough time off... and nothing is getting done in the process of it all." Gally explained.
"I'm sorry. That sounds difficult," You sympathized.
"It's awful... I feel so powerless and you know I hate that feeling."
"Yes, I know. Can I help at all?" You asked.
"I don't think so, but thank you, princess," Gally said, kissing the top of your head.
You weren't usually very physically affectionate with Gally. Of course you loved his cuddles and hugs, but you rarely initiated them. Gally had a very demanding personality and liked to take charge. Today, however, to cheer him up, you reached over and pulled Gally closer to you.
He looked at you trying to pull him closer, straining at the effort, and laughed.
"Need something, baby girl?"
"Cuddle me," You ordered.
He laughed aloud and held you tight.
"Thanks, princess," He mumbled into your shoulder.
"You're welcome," You replied.
