[Katsuki tries to keep it away, but he has a hard time fighting the little smile that creeps up on his face while he watches Shoto gently nuzzle at the little kitten like that. It just feels good to be able to give him this experience, okay?! And... alright. Maybe it's kind of cute that the first thing Shoto decides to do is shove his face into it's face. It's really obvious this is his first time.

That tiny smile on Katsuki's face doesn't last long. Because as soon as Shoto accuses Katsuki of really liking Deku and naming his kitten after him because of it-- it has the blonde puff up like a cat himself. So angry and loud all of a sudden.]

It's not because of that!! I only named him "Deku" because of his eyes! Their eyes are the same!!

[He points at Deku, accusingly almost.]

I don't give a shit about that nerd otherwise! He and I have our own lives, okay?!

[That's obviously a lie. Izuku is his best friend, realistically speaking. And he's been worried about him ever since he arrived here, but he's been doing his best not to.]
