[It hurts a lot. And Hinata can't even look at Faize after handing him the folder, instead squeezing his eyes tightly shut as his hands clench into fists. If Faize believes that it's true, then... that means everything Faize thought he knew about Hinata was wrong, wasn't it?
He's expecting disgust or condescension at the worst. Maybe derision? At best he's expecting disappointment, because who wants to waste time with some... nobody? There's a physical pain in his chest as he thinks about that, squeezing tightly like a cold vice and shortening his breaths.
He doesn't hear what Faize says, so when the other's arms wrap around him, he goes stock-still, eyes shooting open in shock. He almost doesn't know how to respond at first, mind racing through all the negative possibilities this could represent, but... it's just a hug, isn't it? So he leans forward, hesitantly, fully expecting the other to draw away. But when he doesn't, Hinata sucks in a breath and reaches with both arms, pressing his face against Faize's shoulder and doing his best to reach and drag him closer for a proper hug. He's not crying! He might not cry. But it does seem like Faize is doing something right with the hug.]
