[Being kind is a choice. Honestly, sometimes he finds that it's the hardest choice you can make, because it leaves you vulnerable to so much. The more he makes the effort, the more respect he has for Midoriya, always putting himself out there. But this? This isn't being kind, or if it is it's a selfish sort of kindness. Katsuki is his friend, and he cares about his well-being, and he wants him around, and if Katsuki wants to let his own uncertainty and confusion get in the way, well, he's just not gonna let it.
The chewing stops for all of a second before Katsuki starts up again, and Shouto huffs another one of those quiet, amused sounds in response to that bark as he shifts his arms, holding Katsuki close but comfortably.]
Fine. If that's what you want to do, you can. Better than the floor, anyway.
[He doesn't sound mad, or resigned. He sounds affectionate. Weird, maybe, but Katsuki can't complain right now, especially since Shouto is 100% gonna sneak a kiss to the top of his furry lil head.]
