"kacchan, i'm home!" izuku called, walking through the door with many bags in his hands. he went to the store to buy more food for katsuki.

it'd been a week since katsuki had shifted. as he was in his human form, his appetite seemed to grow and change as well. izuku began to find that his meats were disappearing from his refrigerator and when he'd asked katsuki if he took them, the catboy would deny it all despite the bones he'd left behind.

and so izuku had to buy more, making sure they were the freshest cuts. he only wanted the best for katsuki. he hummed as he began putting the groceries away before noticing that katsuki hadn't come out.

"kacchan?" he called louder than before.

still, no response.

this only made izuku worry, this was the first time he'd left katsuki home alone since he shifted.

he quickly put everything away before walking down the hallway. he didn't even hear a single shuffle as he did, more concern only bubbled up in his chest yet he continued walking.

izuku stopped outside of his bedroom, opening the door slowly. he walked in to find katsuki on his bed, clad in one of his white button-down shirts. he'd usually wear them to work so it was rather large over katsuki's body, making the boy look even smaller.

the shirt hadn't been buttoned at all. it was obvious that katsuki put it on himself, not knowing how to use the buttons. though he looked so adorable in it, izuku could find himself staring for hours.

though, he looked up at katsuki's face to see that the catboy's eyes were glassy and the loose collar of his shirt was wet.

"deku, do you love me?!" he asked frantically, nearly leaping off of the bed. his tail was curled around his body, his face flushed from crying.

"wha-... what do you mean, kacchan?" izuku asked, walking over to his bed where katsuki sat, hovering over him.

"when the people on the television touch each other like you touched me.. they said 'i love you'! but, you didn't say that to me!" katsuki expressed, completely hysterical.

izuku's eyebrows furrowed for a moment. it was at this time that he began to wonder what exactly katsuki watched while he was away.

"you - you don't love me! when you kiss and touch someone, you're supposed to say that. but you didn't!" katsuki hiccuped, nearly sobbing.

izuku immediately went into panic mode at this. "kacchan, i do! i love you so.. so much." izuku said, hugging the catboy tightly.

"then why didn't you say it before?!" katsuki asked, tugging at izuku's shirt. oh, how izuku felt awful. truly, he wanted to say it. though, he wasn't sure if katsuki would understand.

"it's because i didn't think you were ready, okay? i'm sorry, kitty." he said softly, kissing the tears away from katsuki's face.

the blond only sniffled, clinging to izuku tightly. he was still feeling upset. the guilt of hurting katsuki draped over izuku's mind then.

well at least that was until the next words left katsuki's mouth. "you better say it next time." he whispered.

"next time?" izuku hummed, pulling away and looking into katsuki's eyes.

katsuki paused, thinking for a moment before nodding slowly. "next time..." he said, now shy.

"lay down," izuku instructed simply, releasing katsuki from his hug so he could fall back onto the bed. "how about i say it this time? i'll say it lots for you, kitty."
