What does it mean when a guy says “you owe me a hug”?

Anonymous
I’m good friends with this one guy and honestly I’m not sure if I want to be more than friends or not but I’m not sure if he’s interested either. He was feeling down so I was trying to help him over text. I really miss him too, so I threw in “I would hug you right now but I can’t”, and he said “you owe me one then”. It’s probably nothing and I’m just overthinking, but that really made me smile and now I know that as soon as quarantines over and I see him at school, I can hug him. But from a guys stand point, what else does it mean? He wants a hug, is there any meaning behind it?

We hugged! I wish it went longer but we met um after not seeing eachother for 5 months and hugged. I’m really glad it happened but to be honest I still don’t think he likes me. Got any ideas of how to tell for sure?
