flatteries: (and if you close your eyes)

Honestly, he was hoping Tidus would say it wasn't strange. Inigo would have hated to have made him awkward just because he's an emotional crybaby at his core who can't go without hugs.

But this reaction.. is unexpected. Completely. The moment he's met with that sympathetic look, and the way Tidus' hands still linger.. it freezes Inigo up, though not necessarily in a rigid way. It's more just that he can't really move - can't do much more than stare back at Tidus as he listens to those words.

"You're sure?"

A blush starts to form on his cheeks, slowly creeping up to his ears. It's just weirdly touching. Tidus went from saying he's never hugged guys like this before all the way to making this offer. Just for him.

And a touching gesture like that when Inigo is already emotional to begin with is so much. He can feel his eyes starting to water up, and since he's looking directly at Tidus, there's no way to hide it. He just lets it do its thing.

"I mean.. If you wouldn't mind, maybe we could go over to my bunk and nap together..? I-- It probably sounds ridiculous, but it always helps me to do that with company."
