[Does Katsuki know this for sure? 99% yeah. From what he knows of Yuji, the feelings of comfort and relief he feels in his own body when Denji returns home from work, or the quiet security he feels when around Raidou and Yuji, how the hell could it be any different for the sorcerer when his boyfriend comes to his side as he struggles? Even if he does wipe at his tears and tries to pretend he's doing okay. Raidou should know by now not to accept that bullshit...
Denji learned that a while ago. When he confronted Katsuki one time with "are you 'hero' fine or 'normal' fine?" after the blonde dismissed his own struggles with those damnable pair of words.]
If it were too much, he'd have crumbled by now. You held up the entire Capitol and didn't break. [Even as he tries to process the horrible betrayal and unknown possibility of his own death back home, Raidou is still here, unbroken and operating. After being the only summoner in the Capitol handling all those cases... He's been at it far longer than Yuji has. If Raidou was that strong, he should trust Yuji to be strong too. No matter how overwhelming it seems.]
Tch, screw what you don't know; focus on what you do. Yuji's gonna endure this a lot better with you encouraging him rather than gaping at his burden. [Perhaps it's rude or blunt, but Katsuki was never a "sweet nice guy" in the first place. Admiring the problem won't help anyone. Saying it's overwhelming is fine, once, but then you buckle down and start breaking it down until it's no longer overwhelming.]
No matter what disaster or villain All Might faced, he always reassured people with a smile and said, "It's all right now. Because I am here." [Okay, full disclaimer, Raidou should NEVER, under any circumstance, try to replicate All Might's smile. Please don't. Unless you wanna scare someone... Pretty sure we can assume Raidou knows about All Might by now. Katsuki looks at the other boy.] Simply being "here" comforts people.
[Just like holding a hand. The sheer relief on people's faces when a hero arrives on the scene, knowing their struggles are soon to be eased, their burdens lifted, their fears assuaged. Not only heroes, but when friends arrive during a hard day. When someone was scared about a monster and then Raidou arrived on the scene, didn't he also see the looks on their faces?
Katsuki clicks his tongue and glances to the side, embarrassed.] Yeah, yeah...
