Are you going to do anything else, [ Katsuki is nervous, he realizes he is telling Izuku what to do and hates that he accidentally did that - but he's also concerned too. ] or just fall into bed?
[He asks, swinging his legs over and removing the blanket someone had put over him after he had fallen asleep on the couch in the dorm room. Izuku isn't usually so used to napping, sleeping quite so much, so he's still kind of groggy and out of sorts as he stands and stretches, feeling a bit stiff from sleeping on the couch for however long. Bakugo is often yelling, telling him off for something or other, so it isn't anything he really seems to mind so much.]
If I don't sleep, I guess I could get something to eat. Or just try catch up on things.
[He hadn't really been the most up-to-date on things back when he was out there alone, trying to go after Shigaraki, getting information from any villains he came across. That and he had missed a decent amount of school.]
It's a rest day, [ Katsuki shuffles his hands into his pockets, staring the other down with a harsh but fairly neutral look. It's a concern, but it's an expression stuck amid his ever-present hatred of Izuku and whatever else is entangled, causing his nerves to run on edge. ] specifically for you - keep your mind out of things for now and figure out what you and your body need.
Ah? I guess. I just can't help feeling restless. Like I should be out there helping more.
[Even if he does need the rest. He probably still looks a bit of a mess, still looks exhausted even after resting as much as he had since he got back to the dorms. His hair is even more of a mess than usual from sleeping, and he has yet to brush it or anything since Bakugo woke him. Izuku knows that even he has his limits. But he's also used to ignoring those for the sake of helping others. Used to pushing through. Izuku accepts that his friends want to support him. Knows that he should rest and focus on recovering. Logically, he knows that, so he can be in the best shape for when he does face against All For One. But at the same time, he can't help feeling restless already.]
[ This was exactly why he stayed behind, exactly why he felt the way he did. Katsuki's nerves start to prickle, and his nose scrunches up just a bit. ]
What do you think we are all here for? Chop liver? [ Stepping forward, his steps are hard against the wooden floor beneath him. Closing in on them both with a quick shove of his hand against Izuku's shoulder. His voice is passionate, and there's a newfound fury to be found within. ] Cut it the fuck out and loosen up, you need to rest before you think you can take anything on - you think you're gonna win with a body like that?
Let's go stupid, are you hungry or what? [ Katsuki passes by him, walking forward in a general direction. ] Gotta baby you and hold your hand, tch.
Hm? Ah, I know you're all supporting me. I didn't say you weren't.
[He says, rubbing at the back of his neck and blinking when the other continues. Izuku's lips purse as he briefly glances down at Bakugo, telling him to rest. He knows that he has to recover. To be in better shape for a fight against All For One. He just wishes that he could do more.]
I know that. I know I have to rest and be ready to face him. That doesn't mean I don't feel like I should be doing more.
[Still, he sighs, the huff of air shifting his mess of bangs as Bakugo passes by, and he follows over to the kitchen. It wasn't like he had asked or expected the other to make him something. But he also won't turn down anything either. Bakugo did know his way around the kitchen well. And he had mostly been living off of snacks here and there when it was quieter and he had the chance to grab something, and whatever meals All Might had been bringing him.]
I didn't say you have to do anything for me? But yeah. I could eat.
[ Katsuki also hadn't said what he did, to make Izuku feel pressed by a weight of scrutiny. He finds his fists tensing up in his pockets, as if he said the wrong thing again and failed to make his point across. Now that everything was over, it was like he was trying too hard to look over his own words and actions. ]
Just hurry up then, what the fuck do you want to eat? Don't touch the kitchen, don't need your dirty hands getting all over and mixing everything in it. We just restocked. [ His steps continue towards the kitchen with an expectant look over his shoulder, insinuating that Izuku better be following close behind him. ]
What do I -- ? Oh. I hadn't thought about what I want yet. I don't know what we have. But uh, I don't mind. I'm not picky. I was mostly living off of snacks and whatever meals All Might was bringing me before, so. Whatever you make will be good.
[Since the other seems to be insistent on cooking it himself. Izuku pauses in front of the bench when Bakugo says not to touch the kitchen, raising his hands to show he hadn't touched anything yet. He'd just been following the other to make himself something. He's not going to be too picky. Whatever Bakugo wants to make will probably be fine, really.]
[ Something knots in his chest when Izuku talks about how all he had was snacks, living off of literal trash, it seems. It makes Katsuki look over at his body briefly. Taking note of how his muscles may have become a bit leaner from the improper intake of food. The more he looks at Izuku, the more his chest starts to ache, and his fists ball up tightly until he suddenly punches the counter angrily.
Eyes still locked with Izuku's. ]
Go take a shower shit head, I'm making Katsudon. [ Izuku's favorite food, there's a glare on his face though that says - don't fucking say anything. ] By the time you're done, it'll be ready.
[Izuku beams, pleased at the choice. He's oblivious to the other looking him over better. The only thing that he really paid attention to and tried to push past the last while was just how tired he was. Izuku didn't spare much time to really make proper meals, often on the go and grabbing quick snacks or whatever All Might would bring him to eat. He was always on the move. He hadn't necessarily taken time to notice the impact on his body. Not that he ever really paid that much attention to his appearance. How he looked. That he would have figured Bakugo would care or notice that much.
He nods when the other tells him to take a shower. The punch is unexpected, but it helps make his point that Izuku should go and leave him to it for now.]
Shower. Got it.
[He returns after a bit, wearing a change of clothes and having at least mostly dried his hair so that it isn't dripping wet, though perhaps wasn't patient enough to fully dry it completely. He has at least brushed it, though. So it isn't as much of a mess from sleeping. He sniffs, drawn to the delicious smell as he comes back out of his room.]
[ Besides the kitchen where the table is set, Katsuki has set up several plates. There is Katsudon, Kyuri Asazuke as a side, Shioyaki Sanma for an added meat - a fish to add to the essential needs, Izuku likely lacked. A tea that is placed for Izuku to drink, and two sets of plates for both of them to eat on. Dipping sauces have been equally scattered around for Izuku to take as he pleases, where Katsuki's sauce is his favorite Hot Sauce. ]
Just eat. [ Is his sharp voice, low but still carrying the aggression usually attributed to him. Katsuki Bakugo is placing a few additional side items on the plates, including a few dumplings and extra rice if needed. ] Don't eat too fast either, or you'll kill your stomach.
[Izuku approaches, admiring it all. Bakugo clearly put effort into all this. He almost wishes the others were around to enjoy it too. But they should get to go out and spend time with their families as well. Live their lives. He sits down, clapping his hands together and smiling as he thanks the blonde.]
Thank you for the meal!
[He waits for Bakugo to be seated despite the other telling him to just eat. Though the reminder to pace himself is probably a good one. Given that his stomach might not be ready for having this much. It's been a while since he had a proper meal and time to eat, however much he wanted. He picks up a little of almost everything to try it, taking a bite of the katsudon with a hum of approval. It's good.]
[ At the otherside of all this, Katsuki eats quietly. Minding his own thoughts that are garbled with uncertainties, upset that he can't seem to hunker down on any one thought. With how his eyes sometimes keep fleeting over to Izuku's frame. Taking into account how much training they will likely need to do in the coming days. Not to stress him either, but to ensure he is okay.
Without his realizing, he idly mutters a few thoughts about a training regime very quietly to himself as he reaches for his serving of katsudon. Dipping it into the sauce so that he can eat it alongside the rice in his bowl. ]
[Izuku doesn't necessarily quite catch all of it, the way Bakugo mumbles under his breath to himself, but he thinks the other is saying something about planning training sessions. Probably because Bakugo wants to avoid getting rusty. That he hadn't been out there fighting the escaped villains like Izuku? He assumes, or something like that, anyway. Izuku just tries to focus on the food, on the delicious flavours, and tries not to eat it all too quickly. His eyes might well be bigger than his stomach in regards to how much he eats, but he will get there in improving and recovering in time.]
Strength, training - so weight training. You're a bit lean, doesn't look like you've been eating much. In retrospect, it's fine because you've been active this entire time, but if you plan to excel at anything, you need to build muscle again and fast. [ He's quieter, staring at his food and eating mindfully. ] So eat up, but just not quickly.
Oh. Right. Y-yeah, I know I'll need to keep training. Get back to it. I just figured a day or two to rest first.
[To recover and feel somewhat human again, before pushing himself with training. Izuku can't help looking a little sheepish when Bakugo scowls at him. But he knows the other is trying to help in his way. And he isn't wrong. Izuku needs to keep training to be as prepared as possible for when they have a plan and take on All For One. He tries to focus on the food, eating slowly, but enjoying it. It's been how long now since he had a proper meal he could sit down and savor?]
[ Katsuki is quiet then, mindful of the food that is to be eaten between them. From time to time, he insists on Izuku eating a few more things, looking him over to ensure that he doesn't look too sick or queasy from everything that gets eaten. As long as nothing else comes up from Izuku's end, time will pass, and he will start cleaning up the dishes bit by bit. He doesn't even seem to ask Izuku to help him with cleaning up the mess that he made from cooking.
Katsuki is just quiet, tending to the dishes and arranging things to be put away. ]
[All of it was good. Probably tastes all the better to Izuku after not having had a proper meal like this in a while. Even if the other might not have considered it anything fancy. He's happy enough to try things if Bakugo suggests it, but is trying to be mindful not to eat too much so that he might make himself sick. Izuku finishes his mouthful, swallowing and standing, heading to the other side of the bench after he has finished, and Bakugo has started clearing the table.]
Mm. Uh, want me to help? You cooked, so I can do the dishes?
[He wants to help. That seems only fair after Bakugo had cooked the meal. He's feeling a bit more energetic after eating and resting for however long he had been sleeping before Bakugo woke him. So Izuku doesn't mind helping out.]
[ Katsuki doesn't even account for that - as far as he was concerned, in this present moment. He wanted to give Izuku the time to feel comfortable and find his own bearings again. The blonde was content with doing everything and even washing the dishes alone, but as his eyes fall back onto Izuku's figure. Kastuki considers what the other says carefully, realizing it would be best to let the other help. ]
[Izuku figures he can at least help dry the dishes that the other had already washed, and help put things away. Or something like that, so he isn't in Bakugo's way or anything. He's feeling a bit better than he was. So he doesn't mind helping out. He approaches and gets a teatowel, standing next to Bakugo and starting to dry the dishes that the other had washed. He just figures this way Bakugo wasn't doing absolutely everything himself. Sure, Izuku was probably going to need another day or two to properly recover from pushing himself the last few months. But that doesn't mean he's incapable of helping with the dishes. He rolls up his sleeves so they don't get wet, hoping he doesn't drop anything and trying to keep the dishes above the bench just in case.]
[ Katsuki washes the plates, placing them on the rack for Izuku to dry, but as his eyes continuously pay him mind. He finds himself getting annoyed by him, just highly aware of his presence. It agitates him, making him find some reason, any, to just gargle at him with a complaint. ]
That's not how you dry the dishes - did you forget? [ Flicking his hands dry, Katsuki moves to step towards Izuku. Coming closer to him enough so that Izuku's shoulder presses against Katsuki's chest. He's come in close to take the boy's hand within his own, and try to move it in a clockwise motion. Drying the plate in a circle as opposed to up and down.
He's touched him, though, his hand holding fast along Izuku's, realizing how battered they are compared to his. ]
[Izuku had not done dishes in a while, so he is out of practice. But that doesn't mean he is that hopeless. He doesn't think, anyway. He's more mindful of trying not to accidentally drop the plate he was drying when Bakugo shifts closer and reaches for his hand like that. He's not necessarily unused to being so close, given their sparring and training at times, and the communal baths. But even so. He's trying to remain still when he feels Bakugo behind him. Izuku isn't aware how the other might be taking more note of the state of his hands, even amid them being a little damp and soapy from drying off the dishes.]
Always comin' back with more marks than before... [ It's a soft scolding, one that is spoken gently to him from behind but nothing more than that. He lets Izuku's hand go once he feels comforted that he is going to dry the plates the way - HE TRULY wants them to be dried. ] Get rest tonight.
[ He moves back to his side, where the dishes were waiting to be washed. ]
Tomorrow, too, we'll be training with everyone once things are good. Feel free to see your mom tomorrow if you'd like; it's a two-day break for us.
Hm? Oh. My hands and arms? Y-yeah, I know those have been kinda messed up.
[He's been warned that if he isn't careful, he could well lose the use of them if he keeps pushing himself so much. But, at the same time, it isn't like he really has another choice. He has to do whatever he can. Especially against All For One. Izuku can't help seeming a little sheepish, a little insecure about his hands. It helped that he often wore gloves, so he didn't have to worry about them. But he couldn't wear gloves all the time. He just tries to focus on finishing drying the dishes that Bakugo hands him.]
