XIX: The Big Twenty-Eight

Third POV

That evening, Katsuki had come home wiped.

Aiming to just shower and slip under his blanket was the goal for tonight.

Though his plans were redirected when he made his way to the primary bedroom to see Izuku, ogling himself in the full length mirror adjacent to the closet doors.

Wearing a black Averil satin chain cut out dress, he twisted his body, taking a full view of the dress on him.

"...What do you think, Akiko?" Izuku inquired softly, as Katsuki's attention turned to the little girl who sat at the head of the bed, with pillows on either side of her body.

She was without a care in the world, merely vocalizing random sounds as she chewed on the ribbon of her own black dress.

"Black suits you." Katsuki complemented, watching how Izuku jumped in the mirror, whipping around to see the alpha leaning against the main door frame.

A faint blush spread on Izuku's freckled cheeks as Katsuki walked towards him, "How long have you been standing there?"

Katsuki shrugged, "Long enough to hear you ask Akiko what she thought."

Katsuki then let out a snort, "I don't think you'll get much of a response at this age, so how about a third opinion?"

Izuku casted a glance at Akiko, watching her flail her arms in excitement over seeing Izuku and Katsuki.

"...You have a point there." Izuku sighed in defeat, as a strong scent of cologne hit him, "In any case, this was Ashido's idea, considering she wanted me to match with Akiko tomorrow. Something small considering I can't exactly do much."

"Not that that I'm complaining, of course."

Silence proceeded to fill the room, with Izuku avoiding Katsuki's gaze, fidgeting with the hem of the dress.

"I can take Akiko and leave if you want to be alone." Izuku mumbled, feeling one of Katsuki's hands reach for his chin and tilt it back upwards.

He leaned forward, feeling Izuku shiver under him.

Katsuki couldn't blame him, not after everything done.

"...Figure out what you want to do for your birthday tomorrow and let Ashido or whoever know so you can do it." Katsuki whispered just as quietly, his index finger drawing directly around the deep groove of where Izuku's spine was.

"I..." Izuku fidgeted, trying to figure out what Katsuki's thought process was from his eyes.

Though, that only made him even more nervous.

"I have to go and shower." Katsuki grunted, pulling away and heading into his closet when he heard Izuku ask,

"Why are you..." Izuku trailed off, mouth agape as his breath became heavy, "Why are you acting like this now..?"

"Being nice to me, I mean..."

Katsuki stuffed his hands in his pockets, still trying to figure that out himself.
