[Hinata manages a dry, humourous inflection even though his voice sounds weak. It's not trembling, he's not crying nor does he want to, but he feels like he's one step away from it. He hopes Tenka doesn't say anything to push him over that one little step.
After all...
He at least wants to welcome back this guy with a smile. Hinata grips his hand in the back of Tenka's clothes and pushes himself away enough to look at him, lips drawn in a tentative smile.
Some part of him, the realistic part says no-one can truly promise that they'll come back but the rest of him still wants to believe. No, more than that, he wants to keep living in the present, not anticipating the worst, but walking toward as good a future as he can try to create for himself.]
I missed you, Tenka, [he'll say plainly.] I'm glad you're back.
