[ look, it isn't like Katsuki can't empathize - to a degree. when he had been a brat he had blown up a lot of shit. "a lot of shit" including himself until his body actually adjusted. Katsuki hurt himself a lot as a kid. burns had been pretty common on him too, though the blonde's advantage has always been that his body adjusted.
he does look surprised all the same when Dabi actually comes over and obliges. Katsuki hadn't expected that. but he tries the temperature and it's passable. ]
[good luck getting him to accept that. apart from a few exceptions, dabi wouldn't believe other quirk users suffered at the hands of their quirks. training periods? some stumbles at the start. sure. expected. but afterwards? he's never met anyone else whose quirk continues to be the death of them simply for using it.
glaring at his hand, he abruptly narrows his eyes and tries to flare up a single flame. but the attempt backfires and instead does little more than evaporate the water with a sharp jump in temperature. tch... yeah, can't make a muscle move when it's momentarily strained.
dabi drops his hand and heads to the sink. while katsuki washes off in the tub, he'll take a "bath" in the sink, splashing water onto himself and using a nearby hand towel as a wash cloth to clean off.]
[ Katsuki doesn't talk about it either, truthfully. the only person that probably knows how much he had struggled with it in the beginning outside of his house probably would be Deku. and he can't imagine that Dabi is going to talk to Izuku about shit like that. or at all.
and he almost tells the asshole to cut it out. that there's no need to actually do anything else at the moment. but his jaw snaps shut as he stops himself. Katsuki then just settles with the hot water and proceeds to clean himself up and out.
huffing in irritation all the while because that fucker had decided to fill him to the brim and then some. ]
[as if dabi would ever talk to that little green interference, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and stating obvious shit like it's something profound. should've burnt him up back then, but priorities. shouto was nearby. with the pleasure of sex and their little liaison drawing to an end, dabi drifts back into his normal mode of thoughts.
no apologies for whatever katsuki's got to deal with over there. he's made it clear at the start he's not one to pull out unless it's requested before hand. and that's usually just for his mouth. they're here to make a mess and cut loose. not to be all reserved and "nice" about shit.
dabi clicks his tongue before picking a staple off his chest. fucker was really rubbing there hard... he flicks it off his thumb into the toilet with a tiny 'plip' and gets back to washing off.]
[ honestly Katsuki's only in here until he can make sure that there's no evidence. clean enough to be able to get back and then actually take a bath.
just hopefully with no one else poking their nose into his business.
so he hurries and then huffs as he doesn't think he's going to get it better than that. then the blonde is out of the shower/tub combo and going back out to find his clothes. ]
[dabi finishes up himself quicker than katsuki does. since he's got less to deal with after all. plus doesn't really need to hang around while the kid fingers himself out. returning to the living room, he's mostly dressed by the time the blonde emerges out of the bathroom.
hope he pulled the damn plug to wash all that away. dabi already burned the towel up. not that he really cares about someone randomly testing a used towel for his dna...
a single glance towards the other boy and he shrugs his coat back on.]

Another time, if we're both still alive.
