Soft. Is the only word that comes to mind as Katsuki wanders down the hallway trying not to stumble. He feels soft. His legs feel like jelly and his hands are tingly. His brain feels as if it's been replaced with a stress ball that some annoying kid won't stop squeezing. He smacks his lips. It feels like he hasn't had a sip of water in centuries.
Hefeelshefeelshefeelshefeels
All he is doing right now is feeling.
A wave of annoyance crashes over Katsuki's chest at the out of control state he's in. He can't really think straight but he knows he feels stupid, and all his thoughts feel like clouds slipping between his fingers. The blonde squeezes his eyes shut leaning a hand on the wall beside him. Why the fuck couldn't he just sort his thoughts out like a puzzle? Why did he even feel so disoriented?
He should feel relaxed, but right now he just feels overwhelmed. His fingers keep twitching involuntarily, he curls his hand into fists digging his nails into his skin setting off a prickly sensation against his palms.
Katsuki shakes his shoulders in an attempt to rid himself of this feeling before coming to a stop in front of a familiar dorm door.
Huh, he didn't even really plan on coming here. It's like his body just moved on it's own, his feet guiding him to safety's doorstep.
"Zukuuu." The blonde calls not bothering to knock before bursting into his boyfriend's room. Deku glances up from the comic book in his lap to give Katsuki a warm smile. "Kacchan! I was looking for you earlier but I couldn't find you. Did you finish the math homework I don't really understand it can you-"
"Shuttuppp." Katsuki moans, flopping down on the bed and putting an end to Izuku's rambling. The nerd was being too loud for Katsuki's liking. He felt sleepy.
Izuku looked like he was about to retort before his eyes shifted to Katsuki's form in worry. "Kacchan? Are you okay?"
"Yess Nerd go away." He mumbles burying his face in the pillow. When Izuku doesn't respond, Katsuki lifts his head to meet his eyes. Fuck his head felt so wobbly, it was kind of making his eyes hurt. But did he actually hurt Izuku's feelings? Izuku was his boyfriend, he loved his boyfriend. He didn't want to make him sad on purpose anymore.
"I'm sorry, I don't want you to go away. I don't want you to ever ever fucking go away. I love your stupid face too much." He confesses, reaching a rough hand out to cup Izuku's cheek. He giggles. "You're face so squishy. Pretty baby."
Izuku's eyes widen at the words as his face flushes red. "K-kacchan?" He stutters, at a loss for words.
"Mhm?"
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yesss nerd shush."
Izuku squints at him, a look of disbelief etching across his features. "Are you high?"
Katsuki blinks. "Hi?"
"Yes Kacchan, high."
The blonde grins dopily. "Hi."
Izuku huffs scooting closer to the boy to brush the hair out of his eyes. "Did you smoke some of Sero's weed or something? Kacchan I thought you hated drugs why would you do that? Or are you just sick. Oh Christ maybe you have a fever. But even then why-" The greenette cuts off his rambling at the sight of Katsuki nuzzling his head into Izuku's palm like a cat. He stares into his lover's crimson red eyes as a realization dawns on him.
"Kacchan...did you take your meds today?"
Katsuki frowns slightly, looking up to the ceiling in thought. "Meds?...oh yeah! I took them a little bit ago. Are you proud of me?"
"Yes baby very proud but, did you happen to take them with food?"
"Nah, I wasn't hungry. Also the old hag was rushing me out the house saying I was gonna be late for afternoon classes. You looked so handsome and cute and shit last class by the way. Fucking distracting."
Izuku bites back a smile. Oh God. "So...you took the meds on an empty stomach?"
"I guess so. Why?"
"Kacchan, do you feel wobbly at all maybe? Like disoriented?"
Katsuki scrunches his face in thought, mouthing the words silently before answering. "Disoriented...I...I think so, yeah. I don't like it "
"Oh baby, it's because you didn't eat with the meds. That's why you feel all funny." Izuku informs him, sympathetically running a hand through his hair.
"Oh." Katsuki practically whispers shifting his gaze down to his hands. Why did he do that? He should've known something would happen but he just assumed he was strong enough to not be affected like always. Tears well up in the boys eyes, he tries to scrub them away with his fist. Why the fuck was he crying? The stupid meds shouldn't make him this emotional.
"Kacchan?" Izuku questions softly, craning his neck down until his was eye level with the other boy. "Are you?..."
"No." Katsuki answers immediately, turning his face away.
"Kacchan." Izuku repeats, sympathy painting his expression. Katsuki scoffs in embarrassment. He doesn't need Deku to feel bad for him.
"It's fine."
"Baby, it's okay-"
"M'not a baby."
"You're my baby." Izuku kisses away a tear threatening to roll down his cheek. He pulls the blonde to his chest despite the muffled protests. "I don't need to be coddled." Katsuki rolls his eyes, yet every fiber of his entire being is screaming at him to bury his face in Izuku's neck and let himself be taken care of.
Izuku doesn't respond, instead he simply presses a chaste kiss to the blonde's lips then another to his forehead. Katsuki wrinkles his nose instinctively, causing the greenette to pull back slightly. "You don't want kisses?" He asks softly, innocently batting his lashes like he didn't know what he was doing to Katsuki. The little shit knew damn well what a sucker he was for his kisses.
He pouts distastefully at Izuku, causing him to giggle. "Okay it's fine if you don't want kisses, Kacchan."
"Noooo I want. Come back."
"Are you sure? Because-"
"Zukuu stop."
"Aw okay bubbas I'm sorry I'll give you kiss." Izuku coos, leaning in to pepper kisses all over Katsuki's face. The blonde blushes at the stupid nickname Izuku would call him sometimes. He's convinced he just does it to mess with him at this point.
"Ew don't call me that."
"Hm? What was that bubbas?"
"Ugh you're so annoying."
"Well that's what you get for calling me bunny all the time to annoy me."
"Yeah well bunny makes sense for you. Remember that stupid ass playboy bunny looking costume you had at first?"
"Hey! My mom worked very hard to make that for me-"
"Not even to mention the fact you hop around like a little bunny wabbit."
"I do not hop. I leap."
"Sure, bunny." Katsuki snickers lolling his head to the side. "Bunny bunny bunny." He repeats in a sing song voice grinning like an idiot. Izuku pretends to look annoyed but the fond glimmer in his eyes gives him away.
"You are so out of it." He smiles shaking his head.
"Noooo the fuck I'm not. I'm just a little." Katsuki motions in front of him waving his hands, Izuku giggles.
"Whatever you say, baby."
"I do say in fact." Katsuki yawns. "Zuzu?"
"Yes, Kacchan?"
"I'm sleepy."
"Mm you wanna take a nap?"
The blonde nods, pressing his cheek against Izuku's and burying his nose in his neck. "Mmnnn."
Izuku chuckles kissing Katsuki's ear making him squirm. "You're so cute, Kacchan."
"Nooo m'not. You're so cute with your...your little freckles and face and hair and everything." The blonde sighs.
"Kacchan, yes you are cute."
"Well you're the cutest. It's fucking annoying I just wanna..." Katsuki makes a squeezing motion with both hands.
"Aw my baby has cuteness aggression?"
"Mm but you don't like when I bite you so I give you face squishes." He babbles rubbing his face against Izuku's cheek earning a giggle from the other.
"Mhmm cmere gimme kissy." The greenette coos squeezing Katsuki's face in between his hand making his lips puff out like a fish. He presses chaste kisses to his mouth repeatedly, earning a pencilled whine from the other.
"Is that butterfly kisses?"
"Hm? No that's popcorn kisses. This is butterfly kisses." Izuku pecks Katsuki's lips lightly, chasing the other's kiss. He leaves more like a featherlight trail across his face before the other let's out a laugh.
"When did we get so fucking disgusting?"
The other boy cocks his head to the side with a sheepish smile. "I don't know maybe when you started to actually like me touching you." Katsuki's eyes soften at this.
"It's okay when it's you." He murmurs burying his face in Izuku's neck. The greenette body stills, before he cards his fingers through his boyfriend's hair.
"You're such a sweet boy, Kacchan." He whispers softly.
"Noo shuttup." Katsuki grumbles nuzzling further into Izuku's neck like he's trying to crawl into his skin.
"You are! You're such a little baby letting me cuddle you."
"Shhh I'm gonna explode your ass....when I wake up." He yawns.
"I know go to sleep, sweet boy." Izuku soothes, a fond smirk playing at his lips.
"Don't tell me what to do." Katsuki mumbles. Within minutes the only sound in the room is Izuku's breathing and the soft snores leaving the blonde's mouth.
Izuku spares the sleeping boy a glance before slowly reaching next to him to retrieve his phone from the bedside table. He quickly snaps a photo of Katsuki on top of him, curled up on his chest fast asleep. He sets the photo as his home screen before placing it back down beside him.
Katsuki would kill him when he saw it but that was a problem for future Izuku. He presses a kiss to the blonde's temple before drifting off to sleep himself.
