There was a dark and empty void inside of you that refused to fill no matter how many times you tried to fill it. Sure, everything was going great, you had wonderful friends, your career as a hero was going strong, and you had an incredible boyfriend who brought you nothing but joy. And yet, it was like no amount of good could ever fill the gaping hole that seemed to constantly consume your mind and emotions.

After a long and stressful night of trying to explain these feelings to your significant other, Katsuki bakugo, you finally were able to put your emotions into words. Katsuki had always been one to deal with things logically rather than emotionally, so he wasn’t quite much help with comforting you… but he did point out that you hadn’t been taking good care of yourself lately, you lacked sleep, and you needed to eat properly before making all these decisions about how miserable you feel.

He helped you clean up your dorm room and brought food to you while you showered and got all clean for the night, allowing you to finally relax and wind down. Although he didn’t say much during all of this, his actions spoke volumes. He was never good with words and didn’t nt exactly say affectionate things, but acts of service was definitely his love language because it said much more than he could ever say verbally.

you two spend the rest of the night together, relaxing in your bed in a position where katsukis back was to the headboard of my bed and your body was resting between his legs while he braided your hair, your hand mindlessly tracing shapes on his thigh. You seemed to have calmed down compared to how rash and quick you were to believe that things were hopeless for you just moments before he helped you for the night.

Katsukis hands eventually stilled before he tapped on your shoulder, his expression calm for once as he spoke up. It was moments like these where he seemed to feel content. He would never admit that though.

“Hair tie.”

he grumbled, referring to the hair tie you had on your wrist. He had finished braiding your hair and planned to tie it off. Once he tied off the braid, he tossed it over your shoulder for you to see, clearly proud of his work.
