Work Text:
Katsumi lays in bed feeling exhausted. This past week every time she gets up she soon has to retire back to bed. She has slept more in this past than she thought possible.
Izuku in all of his concern wants to watch over her yet still continue his weird ass paperwork so he had the creepy mask servants prepare a little bed in his office. It is nice to know that he is near, but it is still so creepy how he acts as if he is the lord of this mansion. When in reality they had been kidnapped and held against their will.
It has infected her husband in such a strange way, he is still himself but at the same time he feels more domineering at certain points. Case in point when she told him it was fine for her to stay in the bedroom they had essentially made their own. He ignored her protests and went about it anyway. Claiming he needs to keep an eye on her, while she is so vulnerable.
She acquiesced leading to her sleeping in a corner of his office. At times when she drifts back into an awake state, she can see him staring at her. His expression is blank yet intense and scary. Katsumi either pretends to still be asleep or he’d notice and he would change his face into a more loving and welcoming one.
It scares her so much that the person she loves and had known since infancy could show her a side that she is unaware of. She wants to leave right now the reassurance of completely knowing her husband.
She wishes she could see her mom and talk it out with her or even her mother in law but… her mind comes up with a blank on how to find them and discuss this with them. Ah her mind is so tired, she groans internally as she falls back asleep.

Waking up she sits up and yawns only to come face to face with Izuku. His expression once again terrifying but this time he doesn’t adjust it when he notices Katsuki looking at him. She scrambles away from him, alarmed at the change in attitude. Izuku for his part follows her. Silent as he does so.
“You still want to leave,” his voice coming out like a hiss. “Don’t you want to stay with me?”
“Yes! I do, I just want to see my mom. Izuku, sweetheart whats wrong?” She begs, wanting an answer as much as she wants him to stop looking at her like that.
“Katsumi, you don’t need your mom. I am here. I am all you need. Our souls our bound together for all eternity,” Izuku says getting closer to her. In his hand he has a green pill looking thing, his voice becoming more gentle. “Honey I can make you feel better. Take it. No need for either of our mothers.”
She grabs the pill but still does not put it in her mouth. “What will it do?”
“Not make you so tired honey. I know how much you hate sleeping the day away.”
She wants to refuse and make a run for it but something in her compels her the more she looks in her husbands eyes. Before she really understands it, the pill is in her mouth and she is swallowing it down.
Izuku looks full of delight as he watches her. “There don’t you feel better?”
She opens her mouth to refute his statement but closes it. She does feel better. She barely even remembers why she was so scared earlier or even who she wanted to talk to. So Katsumi just nods as she kisses her husband, only wanting to be in his arms.
