Ruca was surprised by that and to be honest, he wanted to push the other away at first, but he hesitated and gave up on that. Badou wanted to help him, the boy knew about that, yet he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at least at first and it took him an extra moment to actually relax.

Badou felt warm, which was such a relieving change for poor Ruca, who just a moment ago was more than sure that he'd end up freezing even under all those blankets. The boy never returned the hug though, simply because it would be just too embarrassing for him to do so.

"...I feel better." he muttered shyly. "...Thank you."
