hey hey you you
WHO: Tinytetsu and Bittyjiro
WHERE: A park in Heropa
WHEN: during age plot shenanigans idk
WHAT: two non-child children try to get a cat out of a tree
WARNINGS: Probably nothing
[Being child-shaped is hard. It's hard and no one...well, okay, a lot of people understand, but it's still hard. For instance, he hasn't had a bedtime in decades, but he still gets tired at about the same time he used to when he was ten, and that's not even counting the spectacular sugar crashes. He's too short to reach the high shelves. He can't order pizza. Going to a bar would be frankly a laughable prospect, and he can't buy beer at the grocery store anymore either.
There's also the unfortunate problem of all adults in your general vicinity fretting about you, which he completely understands, considering he still remembers being a father, but it's still a thousand kinds of frustrating because he knows he isn't actually a child right now, even with the weird fuzzy sort of disconnect that sometimes has him worrying about timeouts or groundings.
He's playing in the park today, because one of the few perks of this situation include being small enough to fit on the swings and climb up slides without hitting his head on the little plastic tunnel, when he hears someone calling out for their cat. It seems the little rascal has gone up a tree, and won't come down.
So of course Kotetsu, not being a master of thinking things through at any age, and rather thoroughly devoid of impulse control now, climbs right on up. Which is a good sight harder when you're too little for any of your kickass parkour, and your arms and legs are in general very little and not great at reaching higher branches. But despite the distressed keening of the adult on the ground, he makes it up into the tree without falling or breaking any bones, hurrah. Only problem now is uh, getting back down with the cat.
...He really did not think this through.]

no subject
Which is why he's cutting through the park today, trying his best to ignore the actual kids running around and playing tag or jumping off the swings or spilling ice cream on themselves-
And he would have kept going if it weren't for the fretting man and the sound of low, uncomfortable meowing.
He glances up into the branches of the tree an adult is yelling up into, squinting for a moment... and then spotting the stuck child with the stuck cat, and sighs, dropping his backpack.]
The hell are you doing up there?
[Maybe the language is a bit harsh for someone who looks like a third grader. The tone, too, doesn't seem to quite match up with the high child's voice, as though he's expecting it to sound way different than it actually does.]
You stuck?
no subject
[Those are the first words out of Kotetsu's mouth as the other child approaches the tree. It's that childlike bravado that everyone displays at this age: of course he can get down from this tree, he's not a baby. Nevermind that he is, effectively, stuck, because he can't carry the cat and get down at the same time. Those details aren't important.]
The kitty's scared to come down.
[So it's the cat's fault, okay. He's not scared or a wimp or anything!!!!!]
