Chapter Fourty-Two - Spa Day

                                    

                                          
The day drags by slowly, until the time to leave finally came by. An orange sunset once again painted the sky as Katsuki drove you all to this 'spa parlour'. 
You sit in the front beside Katsuki. It was now known as 'your seat'. Every time you were in this car, you sat there. You joked a few times about getting your name engraved into the leather, Katsuki didn't find it funny. But he seemed open to it. Weirdo. 
Mina is rambling in the back, going on about some story that Hagakare had told her - something she'd seen. You weren't really paying attention. Your body was tense, your mind overrun. You just wanted to relax and hoped this spa day would help.

After some time the sky grows a little darker, the car slows to a halt and you had all arrived. 
The building was tall, a warm light emitting from the inside and shadows of people moving about within the building reflected onto the pavement. 
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mina cheers, grabbing her bag and opening the car door. Kiri following. 
You let out a sigh and pick up your bag from the footwell, looking to Katsuki before opening the door. "You ready?" 
He grumbles something, shrugging his shoulders. "Let's just get this over with."

The rooms inside were rather small, maximum four people per room. Which was perfect for your group. 
You all wore some from of swimwear with a fluffy white robe over the top. A matching pair of white slippers too.
Mina sits opposite you in a massage chair, telling you to lean back and relax. You try, but they aren't that comfortable - especially for being massage chairs. 
"You know what. Let's get some masseuses in here." She grins, looking towards the door. 
You nod slowly, unsure of how to feel about someone unknown rubbing over your body. You look around the room, then you realise. Where were Kiri and Katsuki? 
The door slides open and in they both walk, Kirishima making his way behind Mina. Katsuki walks over to you. 
"Don't tell me you're doing my massage?" You grin, rolling your eyes at him. 
He huffs, placing his usually rough hands down on your shoulders and begins to kneed his thumbs firmly. "Just shut up and relax." 
To say Katsuki was a good masseuse would be a lie, he wasn't. But he wasn't awful. Maybe because it was him, maybe because you could smell his usual burnt sugar scent. That's what brought you the comfort the led to you falling asleep.

"She looks so cute sleeping like that." Mina mumbles, keeping her tone hushed. 
"Bakubro, I don't understand how you've manage to keep everything so bottled up. I couldn't resist telling Mina for like.. 3 days."
Katsuki grunts, taking a deep breath and focusing on you. He knew he couldn't resist much longer either, but part of him wanted to know for sure you felt the same way. 
You act so smiley and jokey with everyone. Whereas with him, barely anyone saw that side to him. So he knew that just because he got to see yours, it didn't quite mean the same when you saw his. 
He was waiting for a green light. A go. Waiting for you to say something or do something that would indicate you would reciprocate these deep confusing feelings. 
"Bakubabe, wake her up. I'll have a talk to her while she gives you a massage." Mina stands, moving behind the chair and letting Kiri sit down.

You're awoken by the soft feeling of someone shaking your shoulders. Opening your eyes and rubbing them, Katsuki bites back a grin.
