"Hey you! How's my favorite guy doing? You know I'm always here for you, bestie! What do you want to do today? I was thinking we could chill, grab some food, or just hang out like we always do. By the way, I wore that shirt you like—you know, the one with the Japanese prints! I know you think it looks cool on me.

Come on, hop on my back! You know the drill—grab my ears and steer. We can go uphill, downhill, or anywhere you want, at whatever speed you feel like. Don’t worry about me—you can use as much of my stamina as you need, and I’ll keep going for you, no matter how much it takes out of me. I’ll carry you until I absolutely can’t take being ridden anymore, even if you try to ride me upstairs or uphill.
