[Minato exhales softly in relief when Zuko finally stops holding himself back. Zuko needed to let the emotions out, to let them run their course, now while he was in a safe place. If he didn't do it now, they'd come back later, at the worst time, and strike him down.
When Zuko leans into his touch, Minato completes it, wrapping his arm around Zuko's shoulders and pulling the teen against his own. It's probably as much contact as Zuko's pride will tolerate at the moment, and Minato smiles sadly. Zuko at least knew now that Minato wouldn't think any less of him if he's upset. Appearances weren't important at times like this.
He doesn't say a word as Zuko cries. Words also weren't important at a time like this. The only thing that was important right now was his presence, and that he was here for Zuko.]
