Partially because they both probably need one at this point, yes, but also since Inigo has always been so much better at expressing himself this way. He fumbles over his own words so often, saying the wrong thing, just letting himself ramble.. but it's hard to do that with hugs. Especially when Inigo gives them so often.
So he stops holding back his desire to just hug Tidus already when the other initiates the embrace. Tidus wouldn't do this if he didn't want it. So Inigo's arms move up until they wrap around the other guy in turn, hands landing on his back, digging into the fabric of his shirt. Inigo's hold is rather on the tight side - like he's worried Tidus may just leave if Inigo doesn't keep him rooted right here to the spot.
But that desperation isn't all there is in the hug. There's something about it that's so naturally loving. It's hard for him to express how much Tidus's friendship means to him or how worried he was about losing it into words. But it's all there in the hug, as Inigo lets his head lean against Tidus's shoulder, crying against him now since the tears still refuse to stop.
"I missed you.." It's said so softly that even if others would have been nearer to them, it only would have been audible to the two of them. Because it's a little scary to say. It feels too selfish, considering everything.
But it's just true. Somewhere along the line Inigo got so used to Tidus's presence. To them hanging out. Being so far apart from each other, not talking for days and days.. it felt wrong.
