“I’m not cool. I’m hot. Lupin already claimed cool, but whatever.” A dismissive wave.
The knot relaxed and the fugitive grinned in appreciation. “I owe you. I owe you more than one, y’know. Cash in any time and I’ll see what I can do.” He turned to face the other and gave him an appreciative hug.
“A week was a lot worse than you’d think. Do YOU wanna be stuck in a 9-year-old’s body, constantly under supervision, going to a lower grade? You thought you were bored at school before…
Kid’s smile widened when the knot finally went away. And while he probably should have been expecting it, he still ended up blinking a few times in surprise at the hug, though it was only for a moment. After which, he gave a softer smile and returned the hug some. Not sure if he’d ever really need to call in the favour, but he’ll keep it in mind.
“I can’t even imagine school for that… though, it wouldn’t be too hard to get out of supervision normally. Tantei-kun seems to run off on his own often enough… But no. Being a smaller version of myself is bad enough, but being tantei-kun specifically I’d rather avoid more.”
