Dabi increasingly got more concerned for Katsuki, he'd show up to the office late more so and at some point Katsuki just gave him the keys so he could open the doors to the office so people weren't calling him and bugging him that they couldn't get into the firm.

He just knew that the blonde wasn't getting enough sleep, which honestly could be beyond harmful to his body. He wasn't getting enough of anything, he was constantly working to the point he was harming himself and his unborn child, their unborn child.

He knew that he shouldn't be pushing it, but he needed Katsuki to get some rest. He was constantly groggy and half asleep at work, it just wasn't fair to himself. "Kat. You need to get some rest, I know I shouldn't be saying that.. But you can't live like this. This is dangerous, you're so sleep deprived. What if you get into a car crash?" He calmly asked, though he was thinking of all the bad things that could happen, he could lose Katsuki. "And the lack of food, I made you something last night and you will eat it."

"So now you're bossing me around? The tables have indeed turned I see.." said Katsuki as he began to just rub his eyes to stay awake. "I'm fine.. I have tea, and I'm making sure I don't hit over 300 milligrams of caffeine. Why can't you mind your own business, Dabi? I'm 23 years old, I can take care of myself."

"Obviously not. Please tell me, did you pack lunch? Did you eat this morning? Have you been consuming at least three meals a day to keep this baby fed? Have you paid any mind to what you're doing? You're going to cause a miscarriage if this continues." Dabi asked and grabbed out a bento full of different small foods and rice, though there wasn't any sushi because Katsuki wasn't able to consume any of his favorites. "Please. I want to help you, and you're just not letting me.. I know you don't won't it, and that's fine. But this isn't just an offer, I'm demanding you accept this from me because you're going to hurt yourself. Even worse, you'll hurt the baby."

Katsuki couldn't even deny how good the bento looked, better get how good it smelt as well. "Fine. I'll eat the stupid bento.. But this doesn't mean there's a single thing between us! I just want you to know, I'm simply accepting a meal that you kindly prepared with a lot of care because you're stupidly worried about me but I'll accept this because it's nice and it smells delicious."

Dabi sat there with a grin on his face, he felt like he was now getting somewhere, like he was winning his way back into the blondes heart. Slowly, but surely, sort of. He knew that Kat was around 2 months pregnant, he wasn't for sure but that was approximately the last time they'd been intimately involved. Which now felt like a really long time, and it wasn't great because it just meant he was getting sort of pent up. But he only had his eyes set on one extremely stubborn blonde.

They sat there in silence, besides Katsuki who was scarfing down his food. He wasn't necessarily a loud eater, but for someone who was a famous multi-millionaire law firm owner, he definitely could have a bit more class.

"Stop looking at me, this doesn't mean anything between us has changed. I'm eating for two! It's only fair that I accept any meal." Katsuki said and wiped his face with a napkin, looking over at the seemingly starstruck male in front of him. Of course he knew there was something between them, it was this awful sexual tension, pent up anger and some sadness all mixed into one.

Dabi scoffed a bit, Katsuki really did have a big ego, and it could sometimes be nasty, yet admirable because he just knew his worth. "Actually, no. I was just looking, you're just... tiny, and I would've assumed you'd be showing at least slightly, I mean I'm a whole foot taller than you! There is no way you wouldn't be showing by now."

A chuckle came from the blonde as he rolled his eyes with an annoyed expression. "I am, sort of. Not as much as I should, probably. But I'm holding these pants up with a hair tie to be honest. Not that it's any of your business, but thank you for that... bento, it was actually really good. Who knew you could cook."
