Work Text:
Katsuki walked in through the door throwing off his shoes as he yelled: “I'm home.” He only had a half day of work since he had been working overtime the past few days. Meaning he could come home and have a nice home-cooked meal instead of the burger place around the corner from the agency. He despised working overtime. Not only did he hate going home so late he hated not being able to have any downtime. It had felt like ages before he was able to have a relaxing day with his husband.
“Izuku?” Katsuki called out again when Izuku didn't respond the first time. He tried looking in the kitchen but everything was clean and there was no husband in sight.
“In here,” Izuku yelled back, the sound coming from the direction of the living room.
Katsuki hung up his jacket before walking in the direction of the voice. Katsuki's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Izuku sitting in the middle of the carpet surrounded by bundles of rope, and safety sheers. Izuku himself had a nice black and red rope chain running down his thigh. Katsuki recognized that bond, Futomoto, was one of Izuku's favorites to do. He loved having Katsuki's calf and thighs bond together keeping him in a kneel-like position.
“You're home early.” Izuku greeted looking up at Katsuki smiling.
“Yeah. I was let off because of how many overtime hours I put in. What are you doing?”
Izuku hummed in recognition going back to his activity, pulling the rope through the loop. “That's good. You've been working so much and you deserve a little break! I was watching that one show I love when the crime lord tied up the cop. Then I remembered it had been a while since I practiced my knots.” Izuku explained pulling the rope through another Knot.
Katsuki swallowed the lump in his throat as he watched Izuku's hands gracefully pull the rope, tightening and untightening it to get it just right. “Can I help?” Katsuki asked
Izuku then looked up at him offering a slight smile. “You want to? You're not too tired?” Izuku asked. He knew how hard Katsuki was working.
“No, I'm alright. It's been a while since you were able to practice and I want to help.”
“Alright. Let me take this off, and clean up a little here while you go get changed.” Izuku told, watching as Katsuki scurried off to comply.
When Katsuki came back into the living room Izuku had put all the rope away inside their box and only had what he needed; two bundles of rope, a pillow, and safety sheers.
“Ready? You don't need a snack or water before we start?” Izuku asked from the kitchen already running the box of strawberries under the water and putting them on a plate, along with grabbing two water bottles and a straw just in case Katsuki got thirsty during their practice session.
“No. I'm okay.” Katsuki responded as Izuku took a seat on the floor. Izuku sat down, his back leaning up against the sofa for support.
Izuku set the plate full of strawberries and the water bottles aside as he placed the pillow between his legs. He patted the pillow a silent ask for Katsuki to lie down and Katsuki did. He laid his head on the pillow smiling up at Izuku.
Izuku then picked up both of Katsuki's hands connecting both palms against each other. “Let me know if it gets too tight or if it hurts okay?”
“Yeah. Yeah, I know.”Katsuki teased. They've done this long enough for Katsuki to know to tell Izuku if he at any point felt any discomfort. If it felt like it was too tight or too loose he'd let Izuku know. He wasn't about to get his rope privileges taken away because he couldn't communicate his needs. He knows better than that.
“I saw you took down a tough villain today.”
“Please he was nothing.” Katsuki then began giving Izuku a play-by-play of what exactly happened during the villain's attack. It started as usual with the villain giving a long speech about why he was going to win and how society wronged him. If they skipped their little speech Katsuki thought they had a much better chance at winning. Well, at least if they were fighting another hero. If Dynamight was their opportunity there was no way they would win. Katsuki felt like their giving their speech was what made them lose the majority of the time. A lot of dumbasses spilled their plans during their long ass tangents and it wasn't hard for Katsuki to figure out how to put it to a stop.
Izuku hummed as when Katsuki took a breath to show he was still listening. “You should have seen how fast I took him down. He thought he was hot fucking shit. I didn't even break a sweat, no scratches on me. But it was kinda disappointing, I think I've improved my piercing shot and I wanted to try it out. But I'll save that for the next sorry soul who crosses my path.” Katsuki said a tad bit disappointed. “Too loose”
Izuku nodded then gently guided Katsuki's elbows closer together so he could fix the tightness of the knot.
“But the new intern we hired at the agency was fucking amazing. Even I was impressed. Their quirk might not seem like much but they sure as hell know how to put it to use. She's a smart kid and I can't wait to see when she makes it to the Top Ten. Then I can rub it in everyone's faces. Still can't fucking believe our agency was the only one who offered her a work-study.”
The new girl they decided to pick was someone who didn't make it quite that far in the sports festival but everything she had done was impressive. She was quick on her feet and knew how to hold her own. “Speaking of her she's really grown out of her shell recently. Do you know she called me a dumbass today?”
Izuku laughed at that as he picked up one of the strawberries and led it to Katsuki's mouth. Katsuki happily opened up and ate the offering fruit.
“We were arguing on whether or not All might worked undercover the first few months he debuted. I said no as any sane person would do. But I was wrong. We had to look it up and who would have guessed it? I was the wrong one. When she goes back to school they're not gonna know what hit em.” Katsuki knew talent when he saw it and that girl had it. It took her a while to not treat him like a celebrity but she got there. Katsuki liked to think it was his amazing personality that made her more comfortable around him.
Katsuki then coughed and Izuku slowly helped him sit up laying the rope on his lap while he got the water bottle open and placed the straw inside. He led the straw to Katsuki's lips and held it up as he drank the water. Once he was done he just fell back onto the pillows with the little ‘plop’
Izuku continued to feed Katsuki strawberries as he talked about his day, catching him up on all he missed throughout the week. Izuku took his hand and placed it on Katsuki's forehead, running his fingers down his hair. He could listen to Kacchan talk for hours. He loved their little moments like this.
“Oh, and you won't believe the shit shitty hair told me! Did you know…”
