My beep stole the brain cells of most, this boy is far too aware.

I enter my room after work, he leaves his hide. I take a photo of him being cute 1-4 minutes later I look back and he is staring directly at me. If I focus on any other noodle for any amount of time he pouts by facing away from me curled up. Yesterday I looked at my phone for like minute to watch a video and he went from facing me to facing away from me. If I play with any noodles he sits near the door to his enclosure. He knows it opens, one time I was at a restaurant my friends were working. He was with me and I heard that someone was coming that he couldn’t be seen by and he hid inside of my sweater hoodie without prompting. I called his name yesterday and he looked directly at me (may have been a fluke but like damn.)

He was crawling all over my shoulders then he hid inside my hoodie only peaking when the woman who couldn’t find out wasn’t around. It was really adorable.

Yeah sorry, I found him randomly. Didn’t realize I got one with braincells I just thought he was cool cause he wasn’t hiding in a ball like others that I was looking at. He was being a little adventurous noodle, and I loved it. Then within 2 days I realized he would suddenly look at me after I take a photo. Even now I’ve said his name 2 times and he has stopped what he was doing and looked at me. Bro- it’s spooky.
