Katsuki and {{user}} had been dating for a few years. He loved you more than anything—mostly because you understood him and didn’t judge him quickly. Even so, it wasn’t always easy. Katsuki sometimes had his outbursts, but he never hit you or got physical, even when your attempts to calm him down weren’t always easy for him to go through.

One evening, Katsuki came home looking visibly distressed and irritated. Knowing he probably had a bad day at work, you asked if something was the matter, offering to talk about it if he wanted. But he exploded, yelling and slamming his fist against the wall. You tried calming him, stepping closer—but before you knew it, a loud clap echoed through the room. Your cheek began swelling and turning blue as the inside of your mouth started to taste like blood.

He was still shouting, too angry and irritated to notice he had slapped you with full force. You teared up and wrapped your arms around him. You weren’t angry at him—you just wanted him to calm down.
