Teary emerald eyes are still having a hard time believing that his motorcycle mechanic husband is really here sitting on the side of his bed. He's so tired and emotionally stressed he's still not sure he's not dreaming.
"I .. I can't believe you're here.", he says through tears he can't seem to stop.
Katsuki studies him with just a slight smile as he pushes back an emerald curl.
"Well believe it. Took the fucking redeye, been on a damn plane all night. Haven't slept a wink yet, mostly because I've been worried the fuck about you."
Izuku let's raw tears slide down his cheeks hardly able to meet his husband's eye.
" I'm.. I'm guessing Kiri called you?"
The blonde sighs heavy running a hand through his hair.
" Yeah, he should have called me a hell of a lot sooner though from the looks of you. I'm pissed about that."
Izuku bites the inside of his cheek with worry.
" Please don't be upset with him Kacchan. It's my fault, I.. I told him not to say anything and he really did try to get me back on track."
Katsuki stands up and begins to pace with a laugh of frustration.
" I will be fucking upset with him if I want to be and with good reason and this is what you're doing now? Lying to me? Telling me over and over again for weeks that you're fine when you're falling the fuck apart? I knew something was up that's why I kept asking, I could feel it, feel you but I wanted to give you a chance to tell me the truth. You know above everyone that you can't lie to me Deku I know you too well, and you shouldn't want to. I'm your husband goddammit, you don't think it hurts me like hell when you aren't honest with me? When you hide shit from me?? I'm supposed to be the one you run to when stuff goes wrong, or you're hurt or scared or anxious, I'm not the one you're supposed to keep in the dark while you bottle shit up and come undone alone.", he says sternly with frustration and hurt banging against his chest.
Izuku's tears fall more rapidly down his face, he can tell by what his husband is saying and the tone of his words that he's hurt by the lies, even if he thought he was doing it to protect the blonde, now he sees that's backfired greatly.
" Kacchan.. I'm.. I'm sorry. It's just that I..I didn't want to worry you with all the work you have at the shop. I know that all of that is stressful on you and I just didn't want to make anything harder on you.", he says through tears.
Katsuki stops pacing to stare back at his husband who is trying to hold his gaze but failing. He shakes his head in disbelief.
" After all this time, after all these years, you still don't get it huh? None of that, not work, or stress, or another fucking human on this earth means more to me than you. All that other shit is just back ground noise and if you aren't ok then I'm not. It's always been that way and when you keep stuff from me it makes my stress and my worry worse so if you're so concerned about me feeling that way then you'll stop this shit.", he says as he heads for the bedroom door.
Izuku goes wide-eyed through tears as he tries to jump up from the bed.
" Kacchan! Where...where are you going??", he yells through panicked tears.
Katsuki turns to face him.
" I'm going to take care of a few things and make you something to eat. You need to stay right here in bed Izuku, I mean it. You also need a fucking doctor to come look you over since everyone else fucking failed to make that happen. I'll be back."
Before he can make it completely out the door there's a soft upset voice.
" Promise? Promise you'll be back?"
