[Ah - With Hiro moving slowly, he can prepare himself for the breach in personal space, enough that even hugging back doesn't feel too unnatural. It still comes across unpracticed (too used to tiny baby brother hugs or someone much taller and bigger) but he's still in disbelief he's home to do it at all. He wishes he could tell Hiro what took so long. Where he was, what happened, wishes he could tell him everything. But his thoughts stall, hitching not only for his own sake - not wanting to think about those things at all, not wanting to recount the things done to him or that he'd done - but also for his brother's safety.
Now that he's here, Tadashi isn't sure what will happen. He and Callaghan had spent so much time just trying to get out and clean everything up that he never really thought this far ahead. Or maybe he just didn't think he'd make it this far. They'd stopped in front of the cafe, once, in the dead of night on their way to a different safe house and he'd looked up at the window, wanting so, so badly to come in, but it just wasn't the right time yet.
Tadashi gives his brother a little squeeze before loosening his hug, not really wanting to lose the contact now that it feels safe, but not knowing what else he should do.]

I'm-- I'm really glad too.
