[Katsuki is thoughtful for a moment, considering the best way for him to get some rest. He knows it's a good idea to sleep when his body needs to recover like this, so it's not like he's actively trying to fight sleep... but it might be awkward or hurt if he lays down.]
It might be better if I slept sitting up, so I don't chance rolling onto my arm.
[It's embarrassing as hell, what he's about to ask Izuku to do. But the other boy wants to help, so..]
...could you, I dunno... sit with me? So I don't fall over or something stupid?
[Maybe he can sleep against a sitting Izuku, and it'll keep him upright...]
Maybe on the couch? That might be more comfortable than these chairs to try to sleep on. Unless you want to try propping yourself up with some pillows on your bed?
[Izuku tries to figure out options, not immediately considering adding himself to this before the other asks him. Of course, it would make sense if Bakugo might want to try to stay off the arm when asleep, at least initially. He blinks, more out of slight surprise in not having considered it, but he isn't against the idea. If it might help. Bakugo wouldn't ask if he didn't need the support. So he nods.]
[Katsuki sees how Izuku looks a little surprised at his suggestion, and he scowls hard in response to it. But he won't take it back, since Izuku's willing to give it a try... even though he feels embarrassed and wants to--]
We'll go to my room. I ain't letting Sensei or Todoroki walk in on us sleeping on the couch.
[Even with all this time of learning to be more open and nice, he still doesn't like the idea of other people seeing him be soft. Even his own boyfriend.... he's such a weirdo.]
Ah, right.....yeah, okay then. The bed is probably more comfortable anyway. Did you want me to grab more pillows?
[He doesn't mind helping. If this is what the other needs. Izuku just hadn't considered how the other might sleep and how to stop him from tossing and turning and how that might impact the new prosthetic. Still, he agrees easily enough, nodding at the idea and finishing his tea to take the mug to the sink in the kitchen to rinse it out.
They hadn't been close during the usual years that friends might have sleepovers or the like. It's almost like this place gives them another chance with that. Izuku just wishes it wouldn't involve the other being sick or in pain like this, though.]
[Katsuki nods. And as he watches Izuku rinse his mug out, he suddenly feels.. really grateful that his best friend was here with him. This place really was like a second chance, and even if the circumstances haven't been the best it's still a little fun living with the other boy and having these "sleepovers". It reminds him a lot of when they were really young, and used to hang around each other's homes more often. They never really had sleepovers, no. But just being in the same home as the other boy felt nostalgic all the same.
And after a quiet moment, still sitting at the kitchen table, Katsuki suddenly says something.]
...Deku.
[It's just the other boy's name, but he seems to have something else to add on to that. He's just waiting for the other boy to respond, first.]
[Izuku puts the mug in the dishwasher, head tilting slightly as he glances up at hearing his name. As if waiting for the other to continue. Or maybe he had just been checking that Izuku was listening first. Before saying or asking something else. He figures he could get the couple of pillows from his bed, at least. To help prop Bakugo up in bed. That might help. He's expecting the other to tell him not to say anything to anyone else about this. Or something along those lines. But he can't be sure if that's it or if the other wants to say or ask something entirely different.]
[Is what Katsuki replies with. Short and to the point, and he gets up from the table to head towards the stairs. He knows the other was probably expecting a threat of some kind, maybe his usual "if you tell anyone about this I'll kill you", but... he just wants the other to know that he appreciates the help. So he keeps those empty threats to himself, this time.]
[He blinks, but gives a small smile at that, finishing clearing up in the kitchen before he heads upstairs as well, stopping by his room to change and to get his pillows and bring them to the blond's bedroom, intending on offering them to put behind him to be a bit more comfortable at least, since he wants to sit upright or at least try to.
If the door is shut or not, he'll at least knock on it gently to announce his presence. Even if the other would be expecting him, it still just seems polite, before entering someone's room.]
[Katsuki will wait on his bed for the other boy to arrive, and he perks up when he hears the knock. The door wasn't closed, but he appreciates the notice of his presence and he stands up and walks over to grab one of those pillows. Even if he's in pain he wants to be helpful...]
That was a good idea. These'll help.
[The more comfort the better!! He walks back to his bed and puts the pillow to the side, and then takes a seat.]
I'll let you figure out how to prop everything up.
I just figured it might help. Keep you propped up and more comfortable.
[He's less sure on what Bakugo might like, but he figures at least a basic idea of laying the pillows up vertically against the wall for them to sit back against. So they weren't sitting against the wall at least. He doesn't seem as awkward as he might be, though that is probably just from knowing the other for as long as he could remember, more than him necessarily being so used to coming into the other's bedroom like this. It isn't like this is the first time, but he does generally try to just hang out with them in the common living areas more than their bedrooms.]
[Katsuki shifts a bit when Izuku gets the pillows into a comfortable position, and he nods when he's asked if it's okay. This was definitely a bit more friendly than just a normal hangout in the sitting room, but Katsuki doesn't mind it. He just hates being taken care of like this, but he's doing his best to just... accept the help and rest without yelling or swearing about it.]
Yeah, this is fine. It's about as comfortable as it'll get.
[Sleeping while sitting up seems like it's going to be difficult... but maybe his exhaustion from the surgery will just knock him out. Either way, he pats the bed next to him so Izuku could sit with him if he wanted. And maybe could be used as more cushion to sleep against--]
You don't have to sit in here the whole time I'm asleep, by the way. I dunno if I'll nap or if I'll end up sleeping for longer.
[Izuku smiles, glad if Bakugo says this is fine and should work. If the other has to sleep this way, at least they could try and help keep him comfortable. He shifts to climb up on the bed next to Bakugo, listening as the other says he doesn't have to sit here with him the whole time.]
A-are you sure? I mean. I might fall asleep anyway, so. I don't mind. It's fine. Whatever you need, just let me know.
[When Izuku sits on the bed next to him, Katsuki leans just a little bit against the smaller boy. Between him and the pillows, he's pretty comfortable and can already feel the exhaustion settling in. He'd been wired up on adrenaline since the surgery so now that the two are sitting together, it's really starting to hit how tired he was.
He closes his eyes and lets out a sigh.]
If you get bored 'cuz you decided to stick around, don't come crying to me about it later.
[Izuku figures he will probably eventually doze off as well. So it's fine. Now he's sitting down like this and all, he's realizing how tired even he was just from his worrying and wanting to be there to support his friend through this. He stays still as best he can when the other leans in against him. He doesn't want to accidentally jostle the other with his having just recently had surgery and all.]
[Is the last thing Katsuki says before he finally drifts off into a very tired sleep. Snoring soft like a kitten as he uses Izuku as a pillow more than the pillows helping him sit upright. It's mostly because Katsuki's cold all the time, and Izuku's body was nice and warm...]
[He has his phone. He figures he can poke around on that or play a game or something if he does stay up a bit. But he doesn't last too much longer than the blonde, the fatigue hitting him, the worry over the other making him doze off rather quicker than he probably anticipated. Izuku doesn't seem to mind that Bakugo uses him as a pillow more, just so long as it doesn't mean they end up falling over or something. It's probably fine. His head lolls to the side as his breathing evens out, his phone falling from his hand onto his lap as he sleeps.]
