Katsuki took a bite out of the apple, sharp teeth cutting through it.
โIsnโt that justโฆ a regular apple?โ Izuku asked.
Katsuki looked at him. โYeah,โ he said. โNever said I couldnโt eat human food. Just that I donโt need to. I still like it sometimes.โ He took another bite, the sound sharp in the otherwise quiet space.
โOh.โ Izuku said. โWhatโs it taste like?โ
Katsuki blinked, staring at him blankly. โLike an apple, Deku. The hell do you think?โ
Izuku frowned, averting his eyes. โI donโt know.โ He mumbled. โI was just askingโฆโ
A beat of silence.
โWait.โ Katsuki said. โDo youโฆ do you not know what an apple tastes like?โ
Izuku laughed nervously. โWell, I donโt know what most things taste like, uhhโฆ you know. Because I donโt remember anything from when I was human, Kacchan.โ
โOkayโฆโ Katsuki narrowed his eyes. โBut you can still eat, canโt you?โ
Izuku nodded. โSure, I mean, technically. I usually donโt, though.โ
โWhy not?โ
He shrugged. โNo one really mentions it out loud, but itโs sort ofโฆ frowned upon.โ He said. โAngels are supposed to be above human desire. Thereโs no stigma around drinking water or tea or things like that, but eatingโฆ well, no one wants to look like a glutton, I guess.โ
Izuku wasnโt sure why he decided to tell him all of that. It felt like heโd just opened his mouth and dumped his thoughts out, but he was too mentally worn out to really think about it.
โThatโs ridiculous.โ Katsuki flatly stated taking a step toward him. โI mean, whatโs the point of existing if you canโt even enjoy it?โ
