Lawn in front of the dorms, Thursday after first period

Eight inches? Jude didn't know imperial very well, but that just sounded insane.

So there was only one thing to do, one logical course of action to follow. The resurrection of a proud Fandom High tradition (hey, he'd done it once before, hadn't he?).

So now, Jude was standing in front of the dorms in his Awesome suit, jacket and skateboard nearby, holding aloft a sign that said simply, 'FREE HUGS'. A stack of similar signs was at his feet.

[[I have to go have blood tests done soon, but post is open for hugs and for people to grab a sign and join in.]]

"Hm?" Chad looked generally confused; that happened sometimes when he got to thinking about stuff like signs and ribs. "Oh. Hey. Things're good."

"Cool!" Ronan grinned a little wider. "So, free hugs?" he asked. "Doing your part against tyrannic rule?"

"What?"

Oh! Right! The sign! Chad looked down at the sign in his hand.

"I...I guess I am."

"Good!" Ronan said. "Hugs are an important part of one's emotional development." He stepped a little closer. "And they're a lot of fun."

"They're not bad," Chad said, nodding in agreement. And then he looked Ronan over. He was kind of little, after all. But most people were, for him. "Think you can handle it?"

He didn't mean it at all how it sounded. He didn't even realize it could have sounded like anything else.

Ronan laughed. "I can handle a lot. I'm quite capable of taking care of myself."

And healing himself afterwards, if needed.

"Okay, then," Chad said, and opened his arms to give Ronan a very Chad-sized hug.

Ronan was perhaps a little more surprised at the force of Chad's hug than he felt he should be, but it certainly wasn't as bad as it might have been. It was quite nice, in fact, to be in the larger boy's arms, and for a moment he felt himself envying Teddy.

"Thanks," Ronan said, smiling, as he went to pull away from the hug, uncertain if Chad's strength would allow him to do so easily.

Easily enough, because while Chad was big and (he felt) awkward, he was always really careful about everything. And it felt weird to be thanked for a hug. "You're welcome?"

Laughing, Ronan shook his head a little. "You're a good hugger," he said, half-changing the subject. "Teddy's a lucky guy."

Chad's head ducked, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "Naw," he said, a quiet rumble, "I'm the lucky one..."

"Well, yes," Ronan said, smirking. "You're definitely lucky to have Teddy, he's a great guy. But Teddy's lucky to have you, too."

Maaaan. Chad wasn't sure he could handle praise like that. If Ronan kept it up, he was going to rub the skin right off the back of his neck. "Maybe. Hopefully. I try?"

Ronan laughed. "You do a very good job."

"Did....he say that?" There was a small quirk of pleased hope in Chad's otherwise stoic rumble. "That I do a good job?"

Ronan shook his head. "Not in so many words, but it's obvious that he's crazy for you," he replied, smiling. "So you must be doing something right."

Okay, so that made Chad feel much better; he even grinned a little. "Yeah; I guess I am...."
