For Shisui and Gai?

(Gai would give the best hugs and i will die on this hill)

xoxo ~

#60- "You look like you could use a hug."

It wasn't a question, just an observation, and it wasn't shouted loud enough for the other side of the village to hear. In fact, if Shisui hadn't been facing Gai when he'd said it, he'd be tempted to think he'd imagined it.

And yet-

Shisui slowly lowered the water bottle from his mouth and replaced the screw cap. "I'm sorry, what?"

Gai didn't backpedal, not that Shisui had expected him to. He didn't flash a beaming smile either, though, and there was no thumbs up or passive genjutsu of a sunset glinting behind him. In fact... Gai looked remarkably serious.

Shisui wasn't one of those idiots who looked at people's facade, their eccentricities, and wrote them off as the character they often presented. Gai was his Nice Guy persona as much as he wasn't, he did feel anger and the 'uglier' emotions and he did indulge in periods of introspection and quiet. He wouldn't be Kakashi's oldest friend if the two couldn't navigate some kind of middle ground on occasion.

"You look like you need a hug, Shisui-san. As your friend and training companion, I would offer my services in this regard."

And there was a bit more of the usual Gai. It made Shisui's wrong-footed uncertainty more bearable. It made taking that step closer that bit easier.

"Oh. Well-"

Shisui, normally, might've said something to smooth this all over. A deflection, maybe suggesting that Gai was looking to grapple, or accepting the offer with a friendly grin and a line about never turning down his friends. Because Shisui wasn't touch-adverse like many Shinobi, he wasn't touch-starved like Kakashi or Tenzo; he'd looked out for Itachi and Sasuke all their lives, and reaching out to hold them had been a big part of that. He had plenty of demonstrative friends, ANBU Squads were often tactile together whilst avoiding others, and Inoichi had never shied from being affectionate over the years. Shisui's Crows preened him too.

But-

"I'd- ah, appreciate that, Gai."

It had been an extremely long week. Gai, for all of his - literal - flowery metaphors, was very astute. He was also built like a brick shithouse and Shisui very much needed to not feel like he was holding up the sky at the moment.

Gai grinned. He didn't lunge forwards, didn't swing Shisui up like a performance of affection; he stepped into his space, one arm slipping around Shisui's waist whilst the other wrapped diagonally across his back from over the opposite shoulder. His grip wasn't ribcracking but, instead, solid and reassuring.

There was no other possible response than to melt into it. Which was exactly what Shisui did.

Gai, as Shisui suspected he was also, was damp with sweat and smelled of that mingled with mud and grass from their taijutsu practice. It was still cool out, the kind of day that would've demanded a jacket if they hadn't been exercising, so the heat Gai surrounded Shisui with was pleasant instead of unbearable.

In all honestly, the hug wasn't magical, it wasn't the hug to revolutionise all hugs, yet-

There was a strength to Gai's hold on him, arms banded less like a cage and more like the reassuring fortification of a good bridge underfoot. With one arm over and the other under, Gai had also managed an illusion of security. Cocking his head, Shisui realised that Gai's bicep was perfectly positioned to cushion his cheek and, with an appreciative hum, brought his own arms up to mirror Gai's grasp.

Fuck, but Gai was a damn good hugger.

Shisui shouldn't have been surprised by this. He shouldn't have been.

"You give great hugs."

Shisui felt Gai perk up, but his grip never veered into too much and his voice, when he responded, didn't deafen Shisui in one ear.

"I'm glad you find the experience enjoyable, Shisui-san! Indeed, everyone deserves the simple pleasure of physical comfort!"
