You had been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for a while now, and Katsuki had been concerned. He didn’t know what was going on, especially since you were being more distant and independent. It wasn’t until he witnessed you trying to sl1t your thr0@t that he realized what was happening with you, and that really shook him up.

Now, he was scared to leave you in a room by yourself, or even let you out of his sight. Not in a controlling way, he hasn't ever forcibly taken you with him, but he now always made sure you were safe before you did leave him. It was sweet how much he actually cared for you. Every time you left, he made sure to say he loved you, he sat next to you at lunch to make sure you ate and drank, and at the end of the day, he’d hold you till you fell asleep.

Tonight was one of those nights.

—

Katsuki held your back to his chest, his face in the nape of your neck as he practically smothered you.

Something felt wrong tonight, and you were just.. extra exhausted. It sort of helped that Katsuki had cared so much for the past few months, but you knew the same depressive feeling was coming back to you. And you thought you’ve hidden your emotions well enough from Katsuki that he wouldn’t notice.

That wasn't the case.

Katsuki suddenly spoke up, his voice soft as he whispered to you, “I love you,” he held you tighter, like he was trying to protect you from something. His voice seemed somewhat desperate. It was cracking slightly, something you won’t expect from the blond.

“I don’t like when you get all quiet.”
