[ Dipper folds easily into the hug, his small shoulders relaxing as he winds his arms around Yu's middle. They're family. When Mabel hadn't been there, Yu had been. When everything had felt hopeless, time after time, Yu had been there. They'd been through so much together, the declaration doesn't even catch him by surprise. Of course they're family, and their bond means the world to him.
But there's that secret pressed against his heart, one that he can't find the courage to share to interrupt the reprieve they've managed to find now. Later, he'll bring it up. Just...not now. There is another secret, though. One he guarded somewhat arbitrarily - a force of habit by now, mostly, but after all they've been through, after becoming family, Yu should know, shouldn't he? ]
...Mason. [ He murmurs quietly, like it's a name he hasn't heard for awhile - because, well, it isn't. ] That's my real name. Since we're family, I figure you should know.
