TW: Mentions of self harm and gender dysphoria, mentions of transphobia, Discussing of age gap relationships?

After New Year Katsuki's throat was really sore, he joked that he was out of practice. Michiko offered him to go into the mountains for 'training', whenever he felt the need to just scream. Katsuki said that he would take her up on this offer from time to time.

The first time was in February when Eijiro posted pictures of him and his girlfriend Hitomi. He saw the pictures and immediately asked Michiko to go into the mountains with him. A bit confused why this came all of a sudden, she followed him.

They hiked up the mountain, deep into the forest to a cabin. They would stay there for the night. Katsuki started screaming as soon as all the bags were secure in the cabin. He went into the forest with Michiko and she let him scream.

After a while, Katsuki had calmed down enough and Michiko asked him again, why he was so upset.

"Because of Eijiro's girlfriend Hitomi!" he growled.

"Oh, how come?" Michiko looked at him with a quizzical look.

He sighed. "It's a stupid omega jealousy thing. I don't know" he sounded beyond frustrated. "Look, I used to date Eijiro and I am still in love with him. And ... I-I am fucking jealous of Hitomi! But my fucking problem is, she's a damn nice person! I don't want to hate her! She's pretty, she's polite, she's a god damn sweetheart! How can I hate her? She's so nice, it feels wrong to hate her! But my stupid omega part still fucking despises her! She's perfect for Eijiro, I know that. She makes him happy and I am happy for him. But still, I am so fucking pissed that she's the one who makes him happy! And not me! I ... it doesn't make any sense! I swore to myself that I was over Eijiro! It's pointless to still be in love with him!"

Michiko leaned against a tree and observed him quietly. She let him ramble, he really needed it.

"Why am I such a fucking bad person? Why am I jealous of Hitomi? She did nothing wrong!" He paced through the forest.

Michiko pushed herself off the tree and walked over to him. She smiled at him. "Hey, now that you screamed, take some deep breaths to calm down."

Katsuki tried his best to breathe calmly. "Okay, well, I get it, it must be absolutely terrible to see the person you love with someone else."

"Yeah, it is!" Katsuki growled. "I thought I had it under control. Hero work should come first and all, and the Agents of Khaoz et cetera, but every time I'm with them and they act all lovey-dovey I just can't help it!"

"Hm, you know that you should be careful with your thoughts around Hitomi? She's a mind reader." Michiko mentioned.

Katsuki froze. "What?"

"Yeah, her quirk is Mind Reader. She can't turn it off and she reads all the thoughts of the people around her."

All color faded from Katsuki's face, he grabbed strands of his hair and he looked down to the ground. "Oh shit! Oh fucking SHIT" Katsuki murmured. "Why did Eijiro not warn me, that she's a mind reader?!" He was slightly panicked.

Michiko raised her eyebrows. "They didn't tell you?"

"No! Fucking hell, what have I thought with her around? Dammit!" He growled. "That's just great."

"Hey, calm down! I'm sure Eijiro warned Hitomi, that you are his ex. Maybe you can just apologize in your mind when you're around her, for any inappropriate thoughts or something ..." She walked closer to Katsuki and put her hands on his shoulders.
