[ He won't argue with him. He isn't sure if he's more deserving or not. He thinks he does deserve a great deal of things but his own happiness over Oswald's seems a bit much. He does deserve to be happy though, doesn't he?
Ed doesn't know what answer could be inferred with the hug. Maybe none. Rarely one to really initiate the hugs, Oswald still deserved one. Eyes squeeze shut. Embracing him so tightly - tightly both because he wants to cling to something right now and hadn't realized how desperately he wanted the comfort from it. Starved from human contact that wasn't violent. And because of the amount of pain he's in results in more of a squeeze than intended. They're good like this. Silence is okay for now.
At least until he's wincing into Oswald's shoulder because there's another living thing in the room and it tried to join in all this hugging by worming his way in and latching little arms to Ed's side. The side they just patched. Oh. He saw stars. ]
