A few months ago, no one would have suspected Yondu was capable of being cuddly. His barriers too tall. His heart too hard. He'd tried to reach out and was rebuffed time and time again. He'd become calloused both in body and in soul.
Being able to just hug someone he worried about to make them feel better is a novel experience. Something he only got to appreciate with his old group before. It's an easy habit to fall into and he's still pretty terrified of it.
But he pulls the small pink-haired teen into the side-hug. Because sometimes you can't fix shit. Often you can't fix shit. All you can do is remind someone they ain't alone for it. "Tell you what, we'll make somethin' worth it today, even if it ain't the river."
