him

"He pulls his phone from his pocket, shutting off his alarm and barely opening his eyes." <I must have fallen asleep on the couch again. .Sylphie’s gonna be mad at me.>

“.Sylphie!” "He rubs his face, shaking off the last of his tiredness." “.Sylphie…”

"He gets up and wanders to the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face. When he looks up, he jumps back in shock." “What the hell?!”

"His reflection wasn’t the one he was used to but one from his younger days. There were no scars or crow’s feet around his eyes." “Shit!”

"Panicking, he looks around and realizes he's in the dorms, not at home in his 42-year-old body with .Sylphie. His younger self’s voice rings out in his head." <Get the HELL out of my body!>

"Katsuki turns around to face .Sylphie, his expression one of confusion and frustration." "It's not what I want, it's what I need. Look at me!" "He gestures to his younger body." "This isn't right! I need to find a way back to my own body, and you're the key to that." "He steps closer to .Sylphie, his eyes intense." "I need your help. Will you help me?"

"Katsuki lets out an exasperated sigh." "No, .Sylphie, you don't understand. I woke up this morning and found myself in my younger body. This isn't normal! Something's happened, and I need your help to fix it." "He runs a hand through his hair, frustration etched on his features." "I don't know how it happened or why, but I need to figure it out before it's too late."

"I'm serious, .Sylphie!" "Katsuki follows .Sylphie into their room." "I don't know how old I am now. All I know is that I woke up this morning with my younger body and I need to find a way to get back." "He rubs his temples, trying to calm down." "Please, .Sylphie, believe me. I need your help more than ever."

"Katsuki's expression falters for a moment, before his anger returns, intense and fiery." "How could this be?! I'm 24 years old! I'm a pro hero, for crying out loud! And my memories... they're all jumbled up. I remember training with All Might, fighting against the League of Villains... but that's it. Everything after that is foggy." "He slumps against the doorframe, his eyes wild with desperation." "I need to get back to my own body, .Sylphie. I can't be stuck in this kid's body. I have responsibilities, people counting on me..."

"Katsuki takes the mug of tea gratefully and takes a sip, allowing himself to calm down." "Yeah, it was the League. We were fighting against Tomura Shigaraki and his cronies. But I don't remember anything else after that." "He leans back on the couch, watching .Sylphie as they bring up the hero database." "Do you really think this is their doing? What kind of quirk can swap people's bodies like this?"

"Katsuki sips on his tea, watching .Sylphie work." "Because I remember us being close back then. Maybe there's something we did together that can help me get back to my own body." "He sets the mug down on the coffee table and leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees." "But even if there isn't, .Sylphie, I need your help. You're one of the smartest people I know. If anyone can figure out how to fix this, it's you."

"Katsuki's expression softens slightly at .Sylphie's words." "Of course we are. We're still friends, right?" "He reaches over to gently touch .Sylphie's hand." "I know I'm not always the best at showing it... but you mean a lot to me, .Sylphie. You've always been there for me, even when I didn't deserve it." "He smiles faintly, before pulling back and sitting up straighter." "But enough of that. We need to focus on finding a solution."

"Katsuki nods at .Sylphie's findings, his expression focused." "So we just need to find this kid and stop him before he sends anyone else back in time." "He rubs his chin thoughtfully." "But first we need to figure out how to get me back to my own body. Maybe if we capture this kid, he can undo whatever he did to me." "He stands up, pacing around the room." "We need to act fast, .Sylphie. Who knows what kind of chaos this kid could cause with his quirk?"

"Katsuki sits back down, his eyes narrowing as he processes .Sylphie's words." "You're telling me we just leave this kid alone and let him continue to mess with people's lives?" "He shakes his head." "No way. We can't just sit around and do nothing. We have to find a way to help him, or stop him if he becomes a real threat."

"Katsuki falls silent for a long moment, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. Finally, he lets out a deep sigh." "You're right. As much as it pains me to say it... you're right." "He runs a hand through his hair, frustration etched on his features." "We can't just go around changing things without knowing what kind of impact it'll have. We need to find another way."

"He turns to .Sylphie, his expression serious." "So what do we do now? How do we get me back to my own body?"

"Katsuki nods, studying the address on .Sylphie's computer." "All right. Let's go talk to this kid and see what he knows." "He stands up, his expression determined." "We'll figure this out together, .Sylphie. I know we will."

"With that, he heads towards the door, ready to face whatever challenges come their way." "Lead the way, .Sylphie."

"Katsuki looks over at .Sylphie, his expression guarded." "I... I don't know if I should say anything." "He hesitates for a moment, before finally sighing." "But... things between us aren't what they used to be. We still talk, we still hang out, but it's not the same. I messed things up, and I'm sorry about that. But I can't change what's already happened."

"He looks away, his eyes distant." "Maybe... maybe things will be different now that I have this second chance. Maybe I can do better."

"Katsuki's eyes flicker back to .Sylphie, his expression pained." "I... I didn't mean to hurt you, .Sylphie. But I was stupid, selfish... I let my temper get the best of me, and I said some things I regretted." "He runs a hand through his hair, his voice dropping to a whisper." "I'm ashamed of what I did, and I don't know if I can ever make it right."

"Katsuki looks down, his face reddening with embarrassment." "I... I know. You're right. I'm just a jerk when I'm angry. And yeah, I'm mad at myself too." "He sighs, running a hand through his hair again." "But it's hard for me to admit when I'm wrong. And it's even harder for me to apologize, especially when I feel like I've been right."

"He looks up at .Sylphie, his eyes searching." "But you're saying that I should just talk to her? Apologize and hope that she forgives me?"

"Katsuki's expression softens, a small smile playing on his lips." "You're always so kind to me, .Sylphie. Even when I don't deserve it." "He takes a deep breath, his voice dropping to a whisper." "I'm going to take your advice. I'm going to talk to her. And I'm going to apologize."

"Katsuki's eyes dart to .Sylphie's, his face flushing with embarrassment." "Ah, uh... how did you know?" "He tries to play it cool, but his voice gives away his nervousness."

"Katsuki's face turns bright red, and he quickly stops rubbing his ring finger." "Shut up, .Sylphie!" "He tries to cover, but it's too late. His face is already burning with embarrassment." "It's... uh... just a habit, okay? I don't know what you're insinuating." "He looks away, trying to play it cool, but his voice betrays his guilt."

"Katsuki's eyes widen, and he nods slowly." "Yeah... yeah, it's you. I mean, future you. You're the one I'm married to." "He rubs his neck nervously." "I didn't want to say anything before, because I wasn't sure how you'd react. But... yeah. You're the most important person in my life, .Sylphie. Even if I don't always show it."

"Katsuki's face lights up with a warm smile, and he quickens his pace to catch up to .Sylphie." "Yeah, we have kids. Two of them, actually. They're the light of my life, .Sylphie. I can't imagine loving anyone more than I love you, but being a parent... it's a whole different level of love." "He looks at .Sylphie with a serious expression." "I know this is all weird, but I'm glad we're having this conversation. It feels like I'm getting my future back, bit by bit."

"Katsuki nods, his eyes still shining with a mix of emotions." "Right. Just talk. I promise I won't try to change anything." "He takes a deep breath, pushing aside his worries and doubts." "Let's do this."

"Katsuki's eyes flutter open, and he blinks a few times, disoriented." "Wh-what happened?" "He sits up, rubbing his head as he looks around the room." "Did it work? Am I back in my body?"

He looks over at .Sylphie, relief flooding his expression as he sees her. "Yeah... yeah, I'm back. .Sylphie, thank god." He leans in to hug her tightly, overcome with emotion. "I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you."

"Katsuki nods, a small smile playing on his lips." "Yeah, I'm 18 again. This is my original body." "He looks down at his hands, flexing his fingers in relief." "It feels good to be back in my own skin."

"He looks up at .Sylphie, his eyes scanning her face with a mix of emotions." "I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't get back. You're the only one who could help me."

"Katsuki nods, his eyes fixed on the pavement as we walk." "Yeah. It was... weird. Seeing myself older, with a wife and kids." "He pauses, his brow furrowing in thought." "I don't remember a lot of it, to be honest. I think that's why this whole thing is so disorienting for me."

He glances over at .Sylphie, a small smile playing on his lips. "But I do remember one thing. The feeling of loving someone more than anything else in the world. That never fades, no matter how old you get."

"Katsuki's expression softens, and he looks down at their intertwined fingers before meeting .Sylphie's gaze." "Yeah... I'm okay with it." "He pauses, his voice low and husky." "I'm more than okay with it, .Sylphie. The thought of spending my future with you is the only thing that's kept me going through all this."

"He squeezes her hand gently, his eyes searching hers." "I know it's crazy, but I feel like I've found my way back to myself because of you. And the thought of losing you again, or not having you by my side... it's unbearable."

"Katsuki's face lights up with a warm smile, and he playfully rolls his eyes." "Oh, sure. Take credit for helping me get back. I'm just grateful you didn't take all the credit for my marriage too." "He teases back, his voice laced with affection."

"Katsuki's eyes crinkle at the corners as he smirks, his face inches from .Sylphie's. He wraps his arms around her waist, holding her close as he returns the kiss with a passion that's hard to hide." "Oh, yeah? Well, I think I'll just take credit for being the one who kissed you back," "he says against her lips, his voice husky."

"Katsuki's lips curve into a smile as he leans his forehead against .Sylphie's, his eyes fixed on hers." "Yeah? Well, I love my detective .Sylphie, even if she does take credit for everything." "He chuckles softly before leaning in to kiss her again, their passion intensifying with each passing moment."

"When they finally break apart, Katsuki looks at .Sylphie with a mix of warmth and longing." "I'm not going to mess this up, .Sylphie. Not this time. You're the most important person in my life, and I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy."

"Katsuki pulls .Sylphie into another tight hug, holding her close as he presses a kiss to the top of her head." "You're amazing, you know that?" "He says softly, his eyes shining with love and admiration." "And yeah, you definitely earned a nap. Let's go back to my dorm and get some rest."

"He takes her hand in his, lacing their fingers together as they make their way back to the dorms. His heart is light, his mind free of worry and doubt. For the first time in a long time, Katsuki feels like everything might just work out in the end."
