Now that both hands were placed on his face, that seemed to ground the redhead a little. He snapped out of whatever cross-phasing he was just experiencing, finally meeting Katsuki's gaze in forced eye-contact. Ruby red searched Crimson red as they stared each other down. They were so close. The little bit of contact they had right now felt like a lot more. Like they were closer than just Katuski's hands on his cheeks. Was it just him or was it growing hot out here? He looked a little shameful for being caught trying to change the subject, his eyes gaining that kicked puppy look to clash with the panic and fear. He was just a whirlwind of emotions right now as his vulnerability shined through. "Sorry. . "
The longer he stared at Katsuki, the more he relaxed, the tension in his shoulders slowly slacking. His heart skipped a beat at how gently Katsuki said his name -- his GIVEN name--, listening to how it rolled off the other's tongue effortlessly to join the relaxed features of Katsuki's face.
The calming manner of Katsuki was doing wonders as he relaxed further, his own eyes starting to clear as his thoughts were slowly hushed. How could he have such an effect on him, he wondered. It gave him a warm feeling. A fuzzy kind. Kiri made a soft noise to Bakugo's next sentence, adverting his gaze for just a split second as his cheeks flushed lightly, resisting the urge to jsut nuzzle against his hand that patted his cheek now. Protect him? That wasn't his job though.
Ei frowned, meeting those half-lidded eyes of Katsuki with his own.
"But Why? . . " He asked without even thinking about it first, his face grim and almost pouty. "Why would. .? Why would you do that? I'm just your knight, Kats. I should be the one threatening that..not you."
Ironic indeed. But his words, he could hear the genuine, raw emotion behind them. He meant them. . . This was making him reconsider keeping his mouth shut. Maybe Katsuki could do something about the hemlock . . ? Or at least, be aware of it so he knew what spots to avoid after proper navigation? He could tell a half-truth, yeah! That seemed to be the most plausible here. He didn't really have to go to detail about it.
Inhaling some, Kirishima let out a hefty breath and spoke quietly between the two of them, spilling the most logical, lying, truth he could come up right now,
"I...I'm... I'm allergic to Hemlock. Deathly allergic. I found some..." He struggled to speak some, words catching in his throat.
"I found some on the outskirts, almost ran into them. . It just ermh, I just.
it just reminded me of an incident I had as a hatc....child. That's all..."
Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuck.
Maybe he could cover it up!
"I'm sorry man.. I didn't mean to scare you that way.. I swear. I dunno what got into me. . "
