Jim is not the most affectionate person, not on duty at least. Sure, he flirts with aliens, but with his close friends, on the Enterprise, he's reserved with his affection. He saves it for special occasions and for private.

If you were ever to hug him on duty or in a very public place, he'd know something was wrong. He'd hold you and quietly ask what was wrong before bringing you somewhere more private where you could talk.

When he does hug you, though, you can bet anything it's a big, warm, long bear hug. His arms would go around your waist, hands splayed against the small of your back, and he'd lean his head against yours. His hugs would feel like being wrapped in a warm, thick blanket on a cold night: comforting, peaceful.

He'd have different kinds of hugs, though, for different occasions.

When you're sad, he would engulf you and hold you tight, rubbing your back slowly as he hummed a nursery rhyme in your ear.

When he's sad, he'd nuzzle his face into the crook of your neck. He'd stoop over a bit, leaning his weight against you for literal support.

When either of you are happy, the hug would be shorter and looser, but he'd still engulf you. His arms would always go around you the same way; always around your waist where he felt like he could hold you best. Also, by having his arms around your waist, you would be able to have yours around his shoulders/neck which he'd love. He would love for you to have a hand on the back of his neck while hugging him.

Sometimes, you'd get side hugs from him if he was teasing you about something. He'd just laugh and sling an arm around your waist, pulling you closer and jostling you a bit. You'd laugh with him, but push him off playfully, which would just make him laugh more.
