Every time had been different. Every time had a different moment to it. Allison waited the longest because when Ben got there other things had happened. Diego and Luther was that middle ground kind of moment. Five as well. Klaus stumbled into a hug. But both times with Vanya it had happened fast. In a blink, with all the nerves and unsure motions to boot.
Ben didn't mind. Ben liked it. Liked being reunited with her. He was heartbroken when she left first time around. Regretted not spending as much time as possible with her, and he had spent a lot of time with he as it was.
When she ducked in for a hug, he wrapped his arms around his shortest siblings shoulders and clung to her in return. His head lowers to rest at the top of hers and he holds on tightly.
"Hey, yeah. Yeah. I'm real. Alive and kicking." He whispered into the hug. "Really here." He said again, ignoring the world for a moment and soaking up the hug from Vanya.
"It's so good to see you, Vanya." He said softly, loosening his hold only a tiny bit, but allowing her to make the first move to detach, because honestly, he'd stand here hugging her as long as she needed.
