Oh, he remembers the question well, and gives a soft chuckle at Will's recovery, then sinks back down to the ground on his knees and wraps his arms around those much narrower shoulders. For the moment he doesn't tug him into a tight embrace, but instead tips his forehead forward, settling his cheek against the side of Will's head.

"Good. I keep wanting to. Other than Law I don't really ever want to hug anyone, you know, but... I keep thinking how good it would feel just to have you close."

Which is cute and sweet and all but pretty quickly he's rolling his eyes at himself. "And now you know all about the mushy garbage that goes on in my head. I had this image of how I'd do things, what I might say when I got the courage to say anything at all and instead... Well, so much for being cool and acting like I know what I'm doing."
