He doesn't really do 'hugs'...or much touching in general outside of combat. But she'd already offered him comfort, and it was rude of him not to offer the same--especially since she got it. The extra space is good, moving to take his seat back on the bare mattress, and squeezing her hand, before dropping it. His blush eventually faded, with the return to more serious things.
"See, I knew that was a possibility. So did mom." Gesturing with his hands, and they had indeed known the risk. "SO, remember how I said I think somehow I split off and changed the past, but not sure if it changed the future as my world stayed the same? Here's that point."
One hand spread out to one side. "This is the original time-line. Where when Frieza and his father came to Earth looking for revenge, Goku killed them." And his other hand placed beside it, "and here's my first trip back--when I took that place instead. I was there to meet Frieza and his father. Which is good because the other fighters on the planet, including Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan, and my father, were on their way to try and deal with Frieza too--and Goku would've been too late to stop them."
Okay, he probably doesn't realize his eyes are shining or his face is lighting up with the excitement, retelling this. Mostly he's just trying to make sure she understands. "So, I'm there. I take out Frieza and King Cold. Which threw everyone for a loop, not least of which my dad because at that point in time--he, Gohan, and Goku were the only saiyans around--and I'd just proven I was one but wasn't telling any of them who I was." A hint of wry-grin. "So, we all then went to where Goku was due to arrive, and when he showed up, I asked to talk to him. Alone. He was...really really surprised to find out who my father was too." Reaching up and rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "But I warned him. About everything. Including please please please do not tell my mom or dad who I was, because then I won't be born, and oh hey that'd be bad."
