[He'd meant it as a joke, honestly, and there's a flash of regret that floods him as he spots that small smile on Katsuki's face that quickly drops away. He doesn't want that. He wants more smiles. More looks like that, just for him.
He's ready to say something else, to try and change the subject, but then Katsuki does something that surprises him even more. Here they are, in public; the street is quiet, but it's by no means deserted, and here's Katsuki kissing him like that with a softness that almost makes him ache.
He's quiet for a moment, returning that kiss despite his surprise. And afterwards, he lifts a hand to touch the back of Katsuki's, cupping it to his cheek for a moment.]
Dunno. But I'm sure you'll find a way. It's one of the things I like about you.
[This time, at least, the warmth in his voice is obvious.]
