Bella loves Pedro's hugs because they're the best. No warnings just fluff.

***

As soon as Bella spots Pedro, they rushes to him, throwing their arms around him. Pedro chuckles, hugging Bella back.

"Bellie, my blessing. How are you?" Bella grins, tilting their head back and just gazing at Pedro. Gosh they've missed his hugs!

"Hey, my Joel! I'm good but even better now you're here, giving me one of your amazing hugs."

Pedro gazes fondly at Bella. He's missed hugging them as well. He remembered how often when they were filming The Last Of Us how often Bella would come to him for a comforting hug. Especially when things got insane.

"Missed my hugs did you, Bellie?" Pedro teases and Bella laughs.

"Whatever gave you that impression?"

"Oh, I don't know," Pedro jokes as he kisses the top of Bella's head and they smile, snuggling closer.

"Maybe because you're practically buried into my chest?"

"I did miss your hugs, Pedro," Bella murmurs, reluctantly releasing him. Pedro grins, giving Bella's hand a gentle squeeze before they get ready to head out to do the interview together.

"And I missed giving you those hugs, too," Pedro murmurs.

"After we've finished with the interview, we're gonna see how long we can hug," Bella tells Pedro who immediately agrees.

"Sounds good to me, Bellie."

Bella doesn't love doing interviews but since Pedro's around, they don't mind it as much. Especially when they had those amazing hugs coming from Pedro.

The interview is pretty fun, although some of it gets a little boring at the parts when some of people ask about the technical parts of TLOU.

Bella turns, catching Pedro's eye and he gives them a wink. Bella grins and Pedro's eyes are dancing with mischief. They loved how funny Pedro could be. He especially seemed to enjoy making Bella laugh.

Even though Pedro always pretended to get annoyed every time Bella got a case of the giggles and couldn't seem to stop.

Soon the interview ends and Bella can't wait to see how long they can hug one another.

"How long have we been standing here, hugging?" Pedro asks. Bella doesn't reply. They're simply enjoying the feel of Pedro's hugs. It had felt like an eternity since they'd had this opportunity.

"Two hours?" Bella guesses.

"I think it's been closer to fifteen minutes," Pedro repiles, squeezing Bella more and they giggle.

"Two more hours then!" Bella demands and Pedro chuckles. God he missed this and them. He'd felt the effects of the loss himself and it felt amazing having Bella close to him again.

"I don't think I can stand for that long," Pedro kids. Bella just holds on to him, happy they get to hug Pedro.

"At least ten more minutes," Bella says.

"I think I can do that," Pedro says. Bella smiles. They knew that they could get Pedro to agree to that.

Unfortunately the time for the friends to go their separate ways comes far too soon and Bella is sad. They hate having to leave Pedro again so soon after only a few hours. But they also know they'll cross paths in the future.

Pedro gives Bella one last hug and they're grateful for that. Bella hugs Pedro tightly as he kisses her forehead.

"Until next time, Bellie," Pedro murmurs softly against Bella's hair.

"Yes, my Joel. Until next time. I'll be expecting more hugs from you."

"Why do you love my hugs so much?" Pedro asks as the two pull apart. Bella smiles.

"Because, Pedro, your hugs are the best."
