[The words are quiet but insistent. Why? It seemed like it shouldn't be a big deal, but suddenly it is. Suddenly it matters a lot. Why? Because he wants to hear Katsuki say the words. Why? Because the answer matters. Why? Because...because he feels that way, too, and as Katsuki finally meets his eyes, he feels a jolt of electricity down his spine.
I think I might...not hate you. It's a very Katsuki answer, but it almost wasn't. He heard that other sound, before he'd stopped himself and switched tacks. And he doesn't feel that way about anyone else. The warmth that floods through him then is a flood, drowning out anything he might have felt before. The shaky breath he lets out is somewhere between a laugh and a sigh, but his heart is pounding hard enough Katsuki might be able to feel the trembling of his fingertips against the nape of his neck.]

[The pulse in his ears drowns out everything else, but even if he can't hear the words he thinks maybe he should say them. So he whispers them against Katsuki's mouth, his eyes closed.]
