He sniffs a little while still in the hug at those words. Like he's already cried himself dry, but still feels the same as he does when the tears usually start running down his cheeks. Tidus's words just feel so powerful. It's like they somehow skipped the past two weeks, all the days between the last platform day and today. Isn't it nicer to think of it that way? That rather than shutting each other out, they just came to each other on the first day of hurt and said let's stick together.
Because Inigo too likes it when they do. It's evident too, even to himself. Because even though today he is technically in a worse position than he was last time he saw the platform - with Gerome gone, with any confidence he had left squished by Reno, with all the hurt of mission in his heart - he somehow feels better right now than he did on that day. Here in Tidus's arms, rather than seperated by a shut door.
He's quiet, thinking about it. But then he sits up a bit more again, not pulling out of the hug, but only moving his head back far enough to be able to look at Tidus.
"If you want.. we could try what we did back when Yuki disappeared." It's a careful suggestion, and something about Inigo's face looks pretty shy as he says it. He's not sure how Tidus feels about the idea, after all, and today of all days is a day he absolutely wants to make certain to not hurt the other.
But when Inigo thinks of that day, all he can remember is how much he was comforted by it. His only fear here is that maybe it isn't comforting to Tidus at all, not when he always seems so much less touchy than Inigo. Not when those last words sounded a bit jokey from Tidus.
"Y.. You know what I mean, right? That made me feel a lot better last time.. And then we wouldn't have to go anywhere either. Or think about anything." His gaze dips, and when he adds one more thing, it's even more quietly. ".. Only if you think it'd help you too, though.."
