Normally, Namine didn't hug either. She wasn't used to a lot of physical contact, and it didn't come naturally. She knew other people that felt what she and Riku felt for each other did, though, and trying new things seemed to be the them for this week, so she'd taken a chance.

When Riku hesitated, she almost pulled back to let him go and apologize if it had made him uncomfortable. He hugged her back before she could. After a moment of surprise on her part she relaxed to enjoy it, despite the blush that was becoming all the more clear as more of her color returned.

It was new, but not bad. She could get used to this.
