@freckledfanboy said: "Kacchan are you okay...?" Emerald eyes lingered on the other teen, worry softening them. "You've been more quiet than usual."
Katsuki hadn’t really realized he had been quiet after returning back to the dorms. Recovery Girl had healed his injuries well enough, but Deku had been fussing over him for at least a good hour after he got out of her office.
He had been running the scenes back over and over in his mind. Deku’s terrified expression as he leaned over him. Deku insisting that he help him. Katsuki relenting and asking Deku to “be his cane”--God that was fuckin’ lame of him to ask--and the embarrassment that followed.
Why did Deku care about him so damn much? After everything Katsuki had put him through in elementary and junior high--
Deku butt in to help save him from that dumbass Sludge Villain. Deku helped rescue him from the League of Villains. Was it because Deku cared about him in particular or was it because Deku felt the need to save anyone who was in trouble, regardless of who that person was?
“Hah??” Katsuki finally spoke, tilting his head in Deku’s direction as they sat in the common area together. It was well after dinner and he had been caught staring off into space. “I’m fuckin’ fine,” he snorted. At least, he felt like he at least physically okay.
