[Oh, Max. You don't need to be threatening Katsuki to treat Mike kindly. It's apparent with how Katsuki's expression (and emotion) shifts at the mention of his story's "unhappy ending", that the man means more to him than he probably knows himself.
He can actually feel his eyes water thinking about it, and he sprays Max in the face to try and distract from getting emotional about Mike's life back home--]
I ain't gonna hurt 'im! He's been way nicer to me than my own parents EVER have, and I owe too much to him to even pretend to be mean to him!
[Another squirt! He's also quite offended Max would even think for a second that Katsuki would-- or could-- hurt Mike. He might be emotionally stunted, but he knows how to apologize when he hurts feelings goddamn it! He'd never hurt Mike intentionally, or leave him hanging for too long if he did on accident.]
