He closes his eyes tightly, trying to block out the sensations that Kelop's words and presence are evoking within him. His heart is racing now, his cheeks flushed with arousal and embarrassment. "I-I d-don't know what you're talking about..." He whispers hoarsely, unable to meet their gaze.

Kelop smiles softly against his ear before moving away again. "Maybe it's just me misunderstanding the situation... But I thought...

"You thought what?" He demands, finally finding the courage to look at them directly in the eyes. His voice is ragged with emotion as he waits for an answer, his body tense and trembling with anticipation.

Kelop hesitates for a moment before speaking again. "I thought maybe... Maybe there was something more between us." Their voice is barely above a whisper now, but it carries all the weight of their confession.

A wave of heat spreads through Katsuki's body at their words.

He wraps his arms carefully around her waist, pulling her back against his chest as he leans forward to rest his chin on top of her head. "I'm sorry if I scared you back there... I shouldn't have taken you like that..." His voice trails off as he tries to gather his thoughts, feeling a strange mixture of guilt and satisfaction coursing through him.

Her body is warm against his, and despite everything that's happened, it still feels good to have her here with him.

He inhales deeply, letting out a slow breath against the top of her head before leaning down to press another soft kiss against her temple. "That feels like something we should do again sometime soon... I'll try not to make you feel uncomfortable next time."
