Mameigwess - dekubaku

Chapter 8

Katsuki groaned as he shifted, snuggling down into the warmth. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the light that was beaming on his face.

Did he leave the curtains open again?

His head felt muddled, thinking a lot slower than he would've liked. His body wasn't in any better condition, either. That feeling of low control still weighed him down, and his skin was sticky with his own sweat. There was another feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on, so he decided to ignore it.

He took a deep breath and wrinkled his nose as he was hit with a pungent scent.

A low, gravily exhale came from behind Katsuki, followed by hot breath warming his skin. He froze, eyes opening wide to take in his surroundings. Stone walls; dirty floors; moss and vines peeking out from crevices and dangling down from the ceiling. One vine was tied to another and had fur pelts thrown over it. The circle of stones in the centre of the cave were still piled up. A bunch of half burnt twigs and ash sat in the middle.

Katsuki dragged his gaze down. He was laying on a faux bed and covered in fur pelts, the same one he had seen in his dreams. Izuku's arm was draped over his waist, hanging over the edge. His husky breathing filled the quiet cave, warming the skin it hit on his back.

He tested a peek over his shoulder, instantly regretting it as he came nose to nose with Izuku's snout. The long teeth brushed his cheek as Izuku shifted in his sleep and cuddled closer.

Katsuki held his breath and stiffly turned his head back to face the cave's mouth. He inhaled shakily, braced himself, and slowly peeled the furs back. The cool morning air nipped his bare skin, which was how he realised was butt naked from the waist down. And the trousers themselves were sticking out from under Izuku. Fuck.

Well, no one else was going to see him.

Pushing his pride down, Katsuki put his feet down on the cold, dirty floor and tugged his shirt over his front. Even if he was only in a cave with his childhood friend turned monster, who had seen him naked more times than he could count, he would like to keep some of his dignity.

Ignoring the sticky wet feeling on his backside and down the back of his thighs, Katsuki waddled to the edge of the cave. They were higher up than he expected, the floor a good three or four meters down. The rocks were all over the place, so Katsuki didn't see himself having any hope of climbing down with what was going on with his body. Not that he planned on it with nothing to cover his ass.

It was about midday, judging from how light it was. Katsuki couldn't properly see the sun through all the trees, but he could tell from the light that seeped through. Some birds were chirping, but the noise sounded quiet, far away. The wind was strangely calm, the leaves on trees unmoving in the still air.

Katsuki peeked over his shoulder and simultaneously jumped out of his skin. Green eyes stared straight at him, his body pushed up onto his long arms. He looked half ready to jump up if he needed to, but was trusting enough not to get up fully and let Katsuki wander.

How was he so quiet?

Katsuki released a shuddering breath and pulled his t-shirt further down, trying to ignore that he was still almost butt naked in the middle of a forest. Izuku didn't say anything, just breathed heavily and watched his movements. His eyes were darting around his body at every small flinch and raised hair.

It brought him back to the issue that had first crossed his mind when he woke up. The cloud of confusion that hung over his head as he took in the strangely familiar surroundings and the weird throbbing that... nevermind, he didn't want to think about what that was.
