[It doesn't matter at all to Bro if Murdoc isn't very good at hugging. A few months ago, neither was Bro, even though he's become somewhat of a natural at it by now. He'd just never realized how much he needed them. How good they felt. To him it was perfect because it's exactly what he needed right now, it didn't matter how it happened. A hug was a hug.
When Murdoc spoke, he just squeezed him tighter for a few long moments. Murdoc was slightly taller than him and he couldn't rest his chin on Murdoc's shoulder, so he just settled for turning his head to the side and laying it against Murdoc's chest. It was a few seconds longer before Bro was able to speak, and when he did his voice was quiet.]
Just stay here with me...for the night?
[He wasn't asking for anything more than Murdoc's presence. He just didn't want to be alone. He couldn't be alone. It would drive him crazy. He needed someone who understood and who would just be there. Murdoc was the only one he could possibly think of.]
