A lot of things change when you lose three of your closest loved ones in less than a year, Minato. Junpei's ability to be serious was one of the things that did.
And somewhere out there was a Junpei who knew Minato as well as he knew Minako, and missed him just as much. It was the right thing to do, for both Minato's sake and this 'other' version of himself. At Minato's okay, Junpei gingerly brought his arm to rest on Minato's shoulder, giving him a squeeze. Just to remind him that hey, you're here now, you're safe now...
Junpei was surprised somewhat that he didn't find it awkward at all; maybe he'd been in Saeng Seong too long.]
Just tell me when ya want me to let go, okay dude?
