The sun setting on the water was kinda pretty, but Blue wasn't paying attention to that. He hurls another pebble off the pier and it hits the sea with a plop.
'What do they know anyway?'
The others had a knack for ticking him off, especially Green. Stupid Green and his stupid… Rgh, everything!
"Hey, Blue?"
Blue turns. Red is there, a few feet away. Whatever. "I don't want to hear it," Blue grumbles and turns back to the sea. He raises another rock over his head, but before he can throw it he's ambushed by a hug.
"Wha—ahh, come on, Red…" Blue sighs. "Let go."
"I know you're upset and I know you don't like to talk about what's bothering you, but—" Red squeezes a little tighter, "—I want to help you feel better anyway."
"I get it, Red, just…" Another sigh, this time in defeat. "Thanks," and Blue hugs back.
Somehow, as freakishly in tune with everyone's emotions as he was, Red always knew what to do to calm Blue down.
They let the hug linger for a bit, and it's actually kinda nice, but then it goes on a little too long. "Now let go before someone sees us, you creep."

A/N: This is over on AO3 now, so if you'd rather read over there then hop on over.
A/N #2: Every so often I'd like to make a recommendation to you all. Today I recommend you read Zelda12343's family friendly fluff fic We Are Family. It's a block of text but it's heartwarming.
