(did I use this pic already it's hard to keep track lol anyways)

Shoto makes his way to Izuku's room later that evening. Part of him couldn't help but worry at the fact that Izuku hadn't messaged him at all but he could only assume he was with Katsuki and was okay.

"Hi Sho," He smiles lightly as he opens the door. He seems to be in a better mood than the last time Shoto saw him, the therapy must have been helpful.

"Hello Izuku, I just wanted to check and see how your session today went, and I brought you some cookies I picked up from downstairs." The dual haired male holds out the bag.

"Ooh thank you, come on in," Izuku takes it and takes a cookie out immediately to start munching on it.

Shoto steps in and his eyes trail towards Izuku's bed that was being occupied by a wolf almost as big as Izuku was. By the scent Shoto knew immediately who it was, even though he had never seen him in that form before. "This is different,"

"This is Kacchan! We discovered that I don't get anxious when I touch him as a wolf and he's stayed like that ever since," Izuku explains. Katsuki only glances up at them for a moment before closing his eyes as if he's taking a nap.

"That's great news," Shoto leans down to pet Katsuki. He may be relieved that this is able to help Izuku, but he just can't help but take advantage of an opportunity where Katsuki is unable to talk back to him. "Finally, a relaxing evening with no rude remarks."

Immediately his eyes are open again he lets out a growl at Shoto with his canines.

"Oh? I think he's saying he likes me,"

Katsuki lets out a shut up bark and moves to the other side of the bed where Izuku is sitting, trying to get him to speak up on his behalf.

"Aw stop bullying him he's just a cute baby," Izuku buried his face in Katsuki's fur as he throws himself on top of him.

Katsuki, completely done with the both of them but not wanting to turn back, lies down with his head facing the wall.

"On a more serious note... how did the therapy go? Do you think it helped you at all?" Shoto looks back at Izuku, sitting down on the other side of him.

"I think so, but even the way she seemed to understand what I went through and validated all my current symptoms made me feel a bit better. I think I'll be ready to go by myself next week."

"That's amazing love,"

He then continues to explain what the therapist said about touch, and to take things slowly. "Can I try...?"

"Of course, here I'll keep my hand warm for you," Shoto puts his left hand out, activating his quirk that allowed him to radiate some heat, keeping it controlled so it doesn't accidentally burn his soulmate.

Izuku looks down at the hand he is holding out patiently. He thinks back to what the therapist said, to study his hands and focus on finding the differences between his and Dabi's hands.

Their fingers touch, Shoto's long porcelain skin fingers are soft and just slightly warm. Dabi's hands were always rough and stained with ash and grime, he rarely washed them. They smelt like cigarettes. Shoto's didn't, Izuku pulls his hand closer to his face to study it and it smelt like the soap Shoto used, he must have had a shower right before coming here.

He moves the hand to cup Izuku's cheek, like Shoto had tried to do at the hospital. It helped that Izuku was in control this time and his body wasn't as shocked by the sudden contact.
