you walk into your bedroom, seeing katsuki sitting with his back facing you. he seemed to be doing something to his arm, or that’s what you assumed because he was looking down. he had lost his sense of sound during the final battle with shigaraki and all for one. still, it wasn’t something that was hard to manage around. he was still katsuki bakugo. his world as well as himself just became quieter.
you reached for the light switch and flickered it on and off so you wouldn’t startle him. katsuki’s shoulders twitched at the familiar signal that usually indicated you were in the room. he turned slightly, just enough for you to see the side of his face that was home to a scar on his cheek.
you stepped inside and shut the door. “what are you—“ you stopped yourself. stupid, he can’t hear. you sigh and shake your head. it was easy to forget the loud and abrasive man you fell in love with couldn’t hear or answer you back like he usually would given how much you’d constantly bicker back and forth.
you moved closer until you were sitting beside him on the bed. he was sitting on the edge, his shirt sleeve rolled up, fussing with a wrap on his forearm. it looked like he burned it again during training—the scar tissue there was always sensitive. you reached out and tapped his shoulder, then you signed. ‘hurt?’
his brow furrowed and he huffed out what might have been a laugh. it was just air, no sound. ‘no. fixing it’ he signed back with one hand. he was getting good at it.
you watched his fingers still fumble to try and wrap the bandages tightly, but they continued to come out loosely. watching him struggle silently made your heart ache. you bit your lip and let water fill your eyes. “stupid…stubborn brat can’t even ask for help.” you murmur.
of course, he didn’t hear you. the movement of your lips made him turn his head to see what you were saying, then he saw your eyes. his gaze softened and he shook his head. ‘you better not be crying because of me.’ he signed before he put his hands down.
you blinked rapidly and frantically held your hands up and shook them. ‘no, no i’m not.’ you insist.
‘i just love you.’ you sign.
katsuki stares at you. like really stares. you assume he can’t tell how hard he’s breathing because you can hear it. his heartbeat too. he raises his hands to sign, but drops them and leans forward to press his now pursed lips to yours.
you freeze for a moment, caught in the sudden tenderness of the gesture. his lips are naturally warm like every other part of his body. his hand finds the back of your neck and he pulls you closer into the kiss, making whiny/breathy noises he would usually suppress. he breaks the kiss and stares at you with nothing but love. this man LOVES you. and it’s clear he likes to show it rather than say it.
