He gives THE BEST hugs. They are such incredibly good hugs. What is his secret. Or is it just that she's horribly awfully hug-deprived, that's also plausible. Further testing may be required. Once she stops crying on him. If that ever happens.

Hot shirtless alternate universe son shows literally zero desire to stop hugging her.

Okay. This situation is being taken care of, she can get something to drink. Meeting your alternate universe selves is a situation where you deserve a drink. 

"Sorry," she mumbles into his shoulder. "Anyway. I'm—I do still figure you've thought about your dating choices even if you didn't have that particular reason to." Sniffle. "You give really good hugs."

"I've been told." He rubs her back. "I wouldn't have except that we keep almost dying and if I wait until it's not creepy I'm afraid we won't ever get to."

"This makes perfect sense," she says, nodding slightly and leaning into him some more. Oh no she is having inappropriate thoughts about her hot shirtless alternate universe son. Why does he have to be so good and also so hot.

Wait, why does she get to cuddle their hot shirtless alternate universe son? This is extremely unfair.

"You have nice hair."

—she giggles softly. "Thanks. You have nice... everything." Oh noooo whyyyyy did she saaaay thaaaat what if he stops hugging her that would be terrible. Now she is blushing. This bar is the worst.

He does not stop hugging her! Instead, he kisses her forehead.

—she squeaks, surprised.

Then she does a sort of Bewildered Yet Delighted Smile.

He was going to ask but the bewildered yet delighted smile is so cute.

He kisses her.

...eeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE???!!?

She kisses back.

(oh NO he's SO GOOD she is probably a TERRIBLE PERSON what if she is TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MEMORY OF HIS TRAGICALLY DEAD FATHER WHO SHE SORT OF IS)

Oh COME ON.

Asher Stark: good at hugs, good at kissing, chest continues to be distracting when pressed against your chest as part of the kissing process.

—she has to pause the kissing process for a moment because she needs to tell him, very firmly, "Everything about you is extremely good."

Then she kisses him again. If this makes her a terrible person she will just have to cry about it later, by herself, until Mycroft chases her around the house with a roomba that has a pillow taped to its back.

"Everything about you is extremely good!"

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

She is so happy and she has a very good happy face!

He wants to make her happy.

...kissing process paused again because she must HUG HIM on account of his EXTREME GOODNESS.

"I like you a lot," she mumbles into his chest.

"It's a common opinion! I like you a lot."

"Nobody likes me at home because I'm constantly a bitch to everyone." Hug. "This is better."

"That's hard to imagine."

"I just, uh, kinda make fun of everyone and everything around me all of the time always. Because people got the idea somewhere that I'm a Cool Person and now I cannot bear to disappoint them even though in fact I'm a huge dork with the emotional maturity of a week-old kitten."

"I think you're a cool person."
