[Katsuki curiously watches the other boy. How his expression twists into something unsure, torn. And how he can't seem to look at the blonde anymore. How he gently puts the kitten in the folds of his shirt, so he can instead nervously play with the red string still tied to their fingers.
The shift is enough to make Katsuki feel uncomfortable himself, but nothing could prepare him for what Shoto is about to say. First, there's the mention of another version of himself. One that's been here before. That alone makes Katsuki's hair stand up on the back of his neck, this odd feeling of being replaceable taking over his heart. Something he's never felt in his life, before. Katsuki was one of the most unique people on the planet... yet he's been here before. That sucks.
But he doesn't have the time to think about that, really. Because what Shoto follows that new information up with is the most shocking thing Katsuki has ever, EVER heard. In his whole life. The mere mention of it has his expression completely change. His eyes widen, with a horrified disgust behind that piercing red stare and he feels like he can't breathe.
Even after Shoto finishes saying everything he has to say, Katsuki is silent. Dead silent. Staring at Shoto so intensely, yet unable to hide the fear written all over his face. But despite that, still judging if he should believe him or not. But... why would Shoto lie about something like this in the first place? He's not the kind to tease Katsuki, or try to get a rise out of him. In fact, it's the complete opposite and it makes sense why Shoto seems so worried about bringing this up.... but Katsuki doesn't want to believe it. He can't believe it.]
...y..you...y-you're fucking with me. You're lying! Y-you gotta be...!
[Finally, he chokes something out, but his brain just swirls with denial, denial, denial. And yet the smallest, bittiest part of him that he pushes deep down inside also felt... intrigued. Intrigued at the mere mention of "dating". Romance. It's something he's never, ever thought twice about. He's never had a crush. He accepted years ago that his Quirk would die with him, and he'd be alone until the end of time. And he was completely fine with it. It didn't bother him at all.]
D-Deku and me...? Dating?
[He assumes every version of himself would be the same....yet that "other" Katsuki dated Izuku. He DATED Izuku----]
