Hardison gives hugs, he likes to think, the way normal people give them - common, easy, familiar, nothing about it but familiarity and warmth.

Eliot hugs rarely, but the moments he does he hugs almost like he's attacking, disengages like if anyone saw him doing that they might kill him for it, pretends it never happened, and Parker also hugs rarely but when she does she hugs like someone who almost drowned and just found their way out.

He wishes they'd had better, before him, but at least they have him now.
