'HUGO. You know I love you too.' He started warily, but eyeing him worriedly all the same. 'Is..everything okay? You don't look so good.' And are you sure you don't want to kill me?

Instantly, Issy wrapped her arms around him, staggering under his weight - he was much taller than her!
"Hugo!" she squealed, and then tightened her arms. "I saved you?" Her voice came out inquisitive and her curiosity couldn't be hidden. Glancing over her shoulder at Terry, she the shrugged. Or attempted. It was hard to shrug when holding up someone who was bigger than her. "Well, at the very least, I'm happy to have saved you. It's my job, y'know."

Terry pressed his lips tightly at the sight of Hugo swamping Issy's tiny figure, an attempt to swallow his strangled laugh. 'HUGO,' he barely managed to choke out, 'Please, you're completely squishing the poor girl!'
Hugo continued to flop in Issy's arms, smiling dreamily at Terry. "I do love you Terry. And I'm...." He paused to ponder. "No I'm rubbish. I've had the worst day EVER!" He moaned, sniffling self pityingly to himself.
Hugo let out a contented sigh as Issy wrapped her arms around him protectively, and immediately he knew that he
had been saved. Not only had she stopped him from falling forwards and landing SMACK on the floor, but his
friends had also allowed him to feel better, simply by being there. It reminded him of the time he'd broken his leg and was stuck in a cast for weeks, unable to run around after cute girls. He'd been thoroughly miserable, moaning about the weather and demanding cups of tea from his obliging mother every five minutes. It was only when Miles had paraded into his room with a box of chocolates and about five good films that a grin had stretched across his handsome features. Friends were there in EVERY bad situation.
"Oops, sorry Issy!" Hugo apologised, quickly straightening up and pulling her into an embrace that lifted her off the floor. "Boy I've missed you," He murmured, burying his face in her hair. And it was true; he'd missed her a LOT. "And yes, you've saved me more than you'll ever know. And you!" He nodded towards Terry with an affectionate wink.
