“hey you made yourself hot chocolate and forgot about me!”
you lean against the counter as you say it. katsuki glances up at you, still stirring the cocoa powder into the steaming milk. his mug is clearly worn out from years of use. it had a tiny doodle of him, a birthday gift from you.
his expression stays blank, indicating that he fully intends on ignoring you.
“but i always make you one when i make some…” you sulk.
he finishes stirring and taps the spoon on the rim of the mug. then, he looks you right in the eyes and takes a slow, long sip.
your eyebrows furrowed. a smug look formed onto his face; and right above his lip, resting on the top of his philtrum, is a smear of cocoa foam.
a hot chocolate mustache.
you’re lucky he turns around in time for you to choke back your laughter. still holding the spoon, he turns around to wash it.
stupidly leaving his hot cocoa unattended.
before he turns back around, you swiftly steal a single gulp.
when he finally does turn and meets your eyes again, he visibly tenses.
this time, you have a smug look on your face.
you win the silent argument! you put the mug down in victory.
katsuki is still staring at you, trying to keep his features deceptively composed.
your first thought is ‘how to convince katsuki not to kill me’.
but when you look at the rim of his mug you see a chapstick stain on the exact spot you just drank from.
…but you aren’t wearing any chapstick?
your brain finally catches up and heat rushes straight to your face. did you just indirectly kiss him????
katsuki clears his throat. then again, but louder. you slide his worn-out mug across the counter.
his ears turn red almost instantly.
“damn brat...” he says before holding the mug to take a quick sip from the exact same spot.
you stare right at his lips. he notices.
“don’t make it weird,” he grumbles.
“you literally stole my drink”
“well you left it there!” you protest, rolling your eyes.
he suddenly turns away to grab another mug, this time it’s got a doodle of him in an all might costume saving you, almost completely worn out. a mug he made for you later that same year you gave him his.
“who’s that for?” you ask.
you smile behind his mug.
