[the two words burn into him, and makes him grow quiet.

his thumbs moving across the screen, trying so desperately to get something out. just a sliver. maybe it would relieve this growing pressure that was wrapping tight around his chest.

'i'm sorry i'm like this'

he holds his thumb on the backspace.

'can i see y'

backspace.

'i want'

more backspace, this time a strained exhale flaring his nostrils. it was the most frustrating thing in the world, to feel so much yet being incapable to voice how he felt.

so. finally. after what feels like ages, he resigns himself to a lighter:]


'hot' might be pushing it, though.

[katsuki doesn't want to pressure izuku into replying or to stay quiet. telling him "it's fine if you don't say anything" would just imply he should stay quiet. telling him more would make izuku feel like he had to say something. neither of which are useful. it should be izuku's decision.

he understands he just dropped a lot on him, and crashed into something the other boy's spent years believing. so fucking what?! he'll crash into it and see what happens! catch izuku if he calls or watch him keep standing. either's fine!

well, it's not like he expects izuku to pour out a report. the guy freezes up on interviews and can flub over shit during presentations. and listening to him ramble about this crap would be annoying...

...

...

... so much "..." typing! ... and finally comes out with... that.]


no. you reach it. when your angry, focused, or letting your mind wander.
