Fics like capsaicin

“Did you know that the spicy taste in food is really just your pain receptors going off in reaction to a chemical compound?” I mumbled sleepily, nursing the iced coffee he’d graciously slammed onto the laminate of the cafeteria table next to my avocado toast. Luckily, he’d had enough sense to put a lid on it this time. “Ain’t painful to me.” The blonde grunted back between inhales of his hot sauce covered eggs and rice. He’d dumped so much onto the plate I could feel the burn in my own nostrils, even over the heavy scent of black gold. I’d made the mistake of yawning, inviting his heat fumes to further assault my senses. “Yeah, because your brain counteracts the pain by releasing a bunch of endorphins in your mouth. They’re a natural painkiller, so instead it tastes good.” I nodded limply, unsure why I’d chosen such an odd topic at seven in the morning. Maybe I just wasn’t awake enough yet. “That so?” He had his eyes glued to his cell phone, propped up against his water bottle. The news played silently on the screen. “Somethin’ wrong with you or some shit? You’re never this talkative in the morning." “Are you a masochist, Katsuki?” He spit out his eggs.
