Zelos yelps beneath him, and Lloyd just clings a little tighter as the Aegis protests the sudden hug, calling out Lloyd's name with a fond yet exasperated tone. He knows this probably isn't the best way to be greeted after self-destructing, but Lloyd's just so happy, giggling in Zelos' neck and taking in the tangible, physical reality that Zelos is here, that he's back, and that he remembers. Hearing his own name come out of Zelos' mouth makes Lloyd's smile widen, relief forcing his eyes to water for a moment before he blinks it away, picking himself off the helpless blade and sitting off to his side.

Zelos is glowing bright against the dark, grin infectious as he looks up at Lloyd, and not for the first time Lloyd feels his heart skip a beat. He's radiant and gorgeous as he always is, but while Lloyd usually forces the sappy crush down far into his heart in order to function, he lets himself feel it for once, smiling, relieved, and so so so joyous. "I'm sorry," he laughs a little, because, well, Lloyd knows he isn't the lightest guy around and he just crushed Zelos, "I just couldn't help myself! I'm so happy you're back. We missed you!"
