[Scott wears his heart on his sleeve so often that it's so much harder when he's trying to keep everything contained. He doesn't really like crying on other people, but he doesn't have an innate reluctance to human comfort when it happens.
So when Peter does hug him, Scott doesn't notice that it's stiff or awkward. He just accepts it, eyes shutting tight, arms coming up to return the favor. And it is a favor, because this helps. This always helps.]

Thanks, man.
