Chapter Text
“Ei, it’s fine,” Katsuki said, pushing his boyfriend back down onto the couch. “I’ve been on-duty without you countless fucking times.”
“Yeah, but-” Eijirou tried to speak. Katsuki cut him off with a kiss.
“Yeah, but,” Katsuki mimicked when he broke it off, earning himself a pout from the redhead.
Eijirou drew himself up as best he could. “Yeah, but usually I can come after you if something goes wrong.”
Katsuki traced a gentle line over the bandages on Eijirou’s shoulder. It was only a dislocation, but… He wished his big, stupid, wonderful rock of a man would be more careful sometimes. “Eijirou.”
“Don’t tell me not to worry,” Eijirou said, meeting Katsuki’s eyes. “Because I’m going to do that anyway.”
“I know you are, hair-for-brains,” Katsuki murmured. He gave Eijirou one last, lingering kiss before heading to the door. Katsuki stopped with his hand on the doorknob and called back. “I’m really lucky to have you, Ei!”
“Oh that’s mean,” Eijirou called back. “Being sappy when I can’t reach you!”
Katsuki snorted. “Me? Sappy? Never.”
“I love you, Katsuki,” Eijirou said. Those words always sent a tingle down Katsuki’s spine. “Don’t get hurt out there! Kick ass!”
“Fuck yeah,” Katsuki said, opening the door. “I love you, too.”
