A guy I like called me a brat. Is this a bad sign?

Um so a guy I like called me a brat.

I haven’t seen him in over a week. We go to the same coffee shop. Long story short we met there and exchanged numbers but we don’t text frequent and we have never gone on a date.

I hadn’t seen him at the coffee shop. I usually go to the shop Monday Thursday and Friday to do some work there on my laptop and he’s there too sitting with his laptop as well doing work. He’s a teacher.

So he texted me Friday night “hey”. And I replied with “hi lost friend😂” I was just being silly cause I hadn’t seen him get his regular coffee.

He replied with “lol brat” 1 minute later he came into the shop and he hugged me twice. The second time he held on to my head like if I was some baby and said “I feel like I haven’t seen you in 500 years friend”

Like I know I called him friend too but when he called me friend I was butt hurt 😂😂 so childish I know. I feel so cheesy saying this.

We talked and caught up and he said he was busy remodeling the bathroom.

But is being called a brat bad?? I don’t see how I was being a brat.
