other fact: very few people can get adrien's expression shifting from confusion (towards nino's quick indication that he's going to go on ahead when they get outside the school) to obvious joy (when he sees just who nino's gesturing to with a slight tilt of the head as an explanation for his "i'm just gonna go, dude") so quickly; even then, no one can get adrien smiling quite like how steven makes him smile.
there's been text messages and phone calls and skype calls but it's never quite the same as having his older brother actually there, so it's after a quick goodbye to nino that adrien makes his way towards steven with a little more energy and bounce than is usual.
he's also vaguely aware that this is attracting A Lot of attention, but he's finding he doesn't much mind that right now. steven tends to do that—it's difficult not to pay attention to him, honestly. though maybe adrien's a little biased. ]
Steven! [ stopping just a few steps short of him, as he grips the strap of his messenger bag with one hand. ] Yeah... Yeah, it's been— [ way too long. forever, almost. ] —You're back early!
