Katsuki took a bite out of the apple, sharp teeth cutting through it.
“Isn’t that just… a regular apple?” Izuku asked.
Katsuki looked at him. “Yeah,” he said. “Never said I couldn’t eat human food. Just that I don’t need to. I still like it sometimes.” He took another bite, the sound sharp in the otherwise quiet space.
“Oh.” Izuku said. “What’s it taste like?”
Katsuki blinked, staring at him blankly. “Like an apple, Deku. The hell do you think?”
Izuku frowned, averting his eyes. “I don’t know.” He mumbled. “I was just asking…”
A beat of silence.
“Wait.” Katsuki said. “Do you… do you not know what an apple tastes like?”
Izuku laughed nervously. “Well, I don’t know what most things taste like, uhh… you know. Because I don’t remember anything from when I was human, Kacchan.”
“Okay…” Katsuki narrowed his eyes. “But you can still eat, can’t you?”
Izuku nodded. “Sure, I mean, technically. I usually don’t, though.”
“Why not?”
He shrugged. “No one really mentions it out loud, but it’s sort of… frowned upon.” He said. “Angels are supposed to be above human desire. There’s no stigma around drinking water or tea or things like that, but eating… well, no one wants to look like a glutton, I guess.”
Izuku wasn’t sure why he decided to tell him all of that. It felt like he’d just opened his mouth and dumped his thoughts out, but he was too mentally worn out to really think about it.
“That’s ridiculous.” Katsuki flatly stated taking a step toward him. “I mean, what’s the point of existing if you can’t even enjoy it?”
