Chapter 19
Katsuki carefully adjusted the water temperature, his mind focused on creating a soothing atmosphere for Izuku. He poured the milk and honey-scented Epsom salt into the tub, the sweet scent filling the air. As the shower began to run, he turned to help Izuku undress, noticing his slight embarrassment as he attempted to hide his nether region with a towel.
" Deku, can you just fucking relax. This ain't the first damn time I've seen you without clothes, so quit acting all shy," Katsuki pointed out bluntly, his impatience shining through. He tested the water's temperature, ensuring it was just right before proceeding. Izuku blushed lightly, unable to find his voice, as Katsuki lifted him and placed him gently on the stool.
"Do you think you can sit up without me having to hold you?" Katsuki questioned, his hand resting on the small of Izuku's back. He adjusted Izuku's posture, allowing him to lean back slightly, and received a nod in response.
"Good. Let me know if you need the oxygen line," Katsuki added, his gaze never wavering from Izuku. He began to lather shampoo into his hands, the fragrant suds filling the air. With gentle strokes, he massaged Izuku's scalp, his touch surprisingly tender. His hair was in desperate need of a haircut, but he would do that another day.
Katsuki's attention was solely focused on Izuku, his senses attuned to every detail. He took extra care around the bruises, scars, and any sore or sensitive areas, his touch deliberate and gentle. The cast was wrapped in a protective film, but Katsuki used the shower head extension to try his best not to get it wet. The warm water cascaded down Izuku's back as Katsuki carefully washed him, making him shiver in delight. He made sure to keep a close eye on him throughout the entire process, ensuring that he was comfortable and safe.
"I'm gonna put you in the tub while I shower." He told him turning off the water, his arms enveloping Izuku as he effortlessly lifted him. As he walked over to the tub, he couldn't help but feel how emaciated Izuku was. He had lost so much muscle mass from the comma that he almost looked like he had been locked away for a long time. He carefully lowered him into the warm water, making sure to support his weak body.
When was the last time he actually had a proper bath?
Gently, Katsuki lowered Izuku into the warm water, ensuring his body was fully supported. The milky water enveloped Izuku he let out a contented sigh and closed his eyes. Katsuki placed the line over his face as steam curled on top of the bath; the milky water swirled around his body.
"I'm gonna take a shower now, so try not to drown or anything,"
He undressed quickly, leaving his ring on the counter, and stepped into the shower. He felt the hot water drip down his body, washing away the stress of the day. He would peek an occasional glance to make sure Izuku was ok, but he still took his time, enjoying the sensation of the water on his skin.
Reluctantly, Katsuki turned off the tap, the warmth of the steam-filled room embracing him. He grabbed a towel, running it through his damp hair, his piercing gaze catching Izuku sneaking peeks in his direction.
Emerald eyes wandered around his chest and abs, mostly at the scars, before darting back at the steam. A smirk played at the corners of his lips as he wrapped a towel around his waist and effortlessly slipped his ring back on. "Oi, quit staring like that, damn it. If you keep it up, I might just start to think you're either interested or a pervert," he taunted, savoring the flush that spread across Izuku's face. The moment was brief, as Izuku quickly averted his gaze, sinking deeper into the water.
