back, yuuji gives choso a back hug !
he really has to give it to his little brother. his physical strength continues to grow and grow - and believe him, choso feels it the moment their bodies collide. he GRUNTS, surpise & shock causes him to loose his footing, - but it's brief. he's able to, albiet clumsily, plant his feet well enough to keep them from launching forward. Confused, he turns his head, trying to get a good look at his younger brother.
❛ - Yuuji !!? Wh- What are you - ? ’
he stands there still - unmoving - worried that so much as a breath will let the moment end. the contact is rare, especially coming from yuuji. their relationship has always been... complicated. so for him to have given such an open sign of affection, - it brings a warmth within choso's chest.
it's almost too much.
that same warmth now burns behind purple eyes, threatening to leak down his face through tears. he raises his arms to rest upon the ones around his waist, giving them a gentle squeeze. a message in return, that for as long as younger boy will allow him to, he will be there for him. for whatever he may need.
