[Though Izuku doesn't say anything, the contact makes him pause and tense up a little. He remembers all too well what happened the first time they kissed, but right now he's supposed to be making sure Shouto's comfortable, not thinking of that.
Trying not to shift, Izuku carefully wraps his arms around Shouto's body, rubbing his nose against his boyfriend's neck. Calm as his movements might feel, his face is still undeniably red.]
[Shouto's thoughts fly immediately to that. He was warm then, but this might just be some weird cold. It's easy to just look down and see the blush on his boyfriend's face.
You're awful. [He gives Shouto a little shove at the shoulder in retaliation. The effect is totally ruined by the blush and the smile threatening to break through.]
You know what. [Izuku mutters as he settles back down. He's at least 99% sure Shouto's thinking the same thing he is.]
[Though Shouto's making Izuku squirm with his straight forward answers, Izuku also knows that that's exactly what they are: straight forward. Shouto's never been one to dodge around his feelings.
Nervously, he slides a hand up to cup Shouto's cheek.] You want this?
[Admittedly, it's definitely one way to help his boyfriend with the cold, when even the blankets aren't helping. He just has to make sure, first.]
[You'd think after getting so many truth bombs dropped on him up until now, Izuku would be more used to Shouto's honesty. He isn't, though, and this still takes him by surprise.]
Oh. [Izuku exhales shakily, letting that sink in.] Why didn't you say anything?
[Another embarrassed sound escapes him.] I...wouldn't want to say that in public either. [At least he and Shouto are on the same page about this. Small mercies.
He grows quiet then, gently stroking Shouto's cheek for a moment before finally leaning in for a tentative kiss.]
[Kissing isn't new for either of them at this point, but everything that comes after it.. definitely is. The nerves kick in, making Izuku tense up a little despite his best efforts.
It's surprising, how different it is from that other time, when things had flowed so naturally from one thing to the other. Then again, Izuku supposes knowing what they're planning to do would be more nerve-inducing, in hindsight.]
[Kissing is a familiar activity. But there's a lot more to this whole thing they're doing than just that. It's so easy to notice the way Izuku tenses up.
Not that Shouto can really blame him. Shouto's been anticipating this for a long, long time. He'll gently pull away from the kiss, resting their foreheads together.]
[There's a warm smile, even when the rest of him feels so uncomfortably cold. With that in the air, it feels a lot less awkward to do the rest of this.
He presses close, rubbing their crotches together.]

You worried?
no subject
I haven't done this before. [Izuku murmurs as he rubs their noses together fondly.] But I trust you.
[Just like he's trusted Shouto with every part of himself he's given over before this.]
no subject
You think I have?
I trust you too. That's why I'm okay doing this.
no subject
[The trust is what matters in the end, Izuku thinks, as he tilts his head up for another kiss.
This time, he doesn't pull away after a little bit, cupping Shouto's cheek in one hand as he lingers.]

Hey... I love you.

I love you, too, Shouto.
[But he already knew that.]
