Did You Hear Something?

                                    

                                          
       Shouto had been avoiding Katsuki since the aquarium. He started spending all his time with Izuku again. He regressed a few times since that day but he didn't try to contact Katsuki. Even though Katsuki had texted and called him a few times to check in on him, Shouto hadn't replied.
While Shouto sat next to Izuku on the couch his phone vibrated.
                          
Papa:
Papa misses Shouchan. Hope you're okay.
                          
Shouto quickly put his phone back in his pocket. He had a lump in his throat, . He had meant to change the contact but every time he saw "Papa" pop up he found himself happy for a split second. He wanted to text back but he just couldn't. He had to leave it be. It wasn't like Katsuki would approve of the feelings Shouto started to feel toward him. He had to just put an end to it, it was for the best. Even if he wanted and missed his Papa so much. 
                          
"Are you okay, Shou?" Izuku asked quietly. They had a movie on, other people from class had been watching and chatting quietly.
                          
"I'm okay. Thank you, Izuku." Shouto didn't want to worry him. It would only upset Izuku even more.
                          
"You know, you're a bad liar." Izuku accused him with a raised eyebrow.
                          
"It's fine." Shouto want going to give in that easily.
                          
Izuku stood up and grabbed Shouto's wrist, taking him into the other room. Izuku stopped and looked up at the taller boy. Shouto was still in a bit of a shock from bring dragged off so quickly.
                          
"Is it Kacchan? Did he do something? You've been acting weird ever since the day you two went to train...on a Saturday," Midoriya questioned the validity of their story. 
"...you haven't hung out with him since then either. At first I thought maybe it was just him not wanting to hang out with you anymore, he does that. I noticed you've been more reserved again, like you were before..." Izuku trailed off, then picked back up, 
"You feel...cold again. What happened? What did he do?" Izuku's eyes filled with tears and he sniffled.
                          
"Izuku, I'm fine. Everything is okay. I just...want to spend more time time with you again." Shouto blushed, Izuku blushed too.
                          
"Okay." Izuku agreed.
"I'm sorry, if there is anything you want to talk about...you know I'm here right?" Izuku stepped closer to him, his big eyes never leaving Shouto's. He grabbed at the hem of Shouto's shirt at his waist. Shouto's breathing hitched when he felt Izuku's fingertips brush the skin on his lower stomach. Izuku had never acted like this before. He was someone who liked physical affection, sure, but he had never touched Shouto in that way before. Shouto stepped backwards, "I..uh...I'm sorry."
                          
       Shouto ran to his dorm room. He slammed the door behind him. He locked the door and undressed himself. He grabbed a pair of Pajamas his Papa bought him. He ordered them online, they were blue and had planets, stars and spaceships as the pattern. He put the shirt on and then the pants. He got some red and blue fuzzy socks from a drawer. He sat down on the floor and put them on his feet. 
                          
     He crawled to his bed and sat on his heels to pull a box from under his bed. Inside were things his Papa had bought for him. He grabbed the purple paci and the teddy bear he received the day they went to the aquarium. He climbed into his bed and then lay down under his blankets. He put the paci in his mouth and quickly regressed. As soon as he started to feel small he started to cry. He just wished he could have his Papa again. He wished his Papa were there to cuddle to him and comfort him. He wished the whole situation were easier.
                          
*Katsuki*
                          
     Katsuki, hit send on his daily text to Shouto. Hated feeling so needy and annoying. He really did miss his little. He really did miss Shouto. He wouldn't bother him in person though. Texting and calling him was already too much, he knew that. He just wanted to keep the door open for him, in case he wanted to come back. Katsuki felt stupid for even considering that as a possibility.
