If the sudden way Mohinder curled up with him was surprising, his words were decidedly moreso. Matt looked down at him, feeling stunned, and for that reason accepted the proximity with some uncertainty. But he still wound up with his chin somewhere on top of Mohinder's head. It felt natural.
"I didn't think you did", he said after a moment's of silence, voice close to the other man's hair. "Appreciate that, I mean. You always seemed happier with your numbers. Well, and Molly. You light up with her."
He lifted his free hand to rub over his eyes.
"Sorry I kept giving you such a hard time about that, by the way."
The whole Company thing. His criticism had been justified in the end but Matt wouldn't pull an 'I told you so' even if he'd get paid for it. In hindsight, it just seemed unnecessary, the few dozen fights, hushed voices if Molly was close by or all-out yelling if she wasn't. That, if anything, had been one hell of a strain on them. They could've handled that better. Done away with all that hostility.
