[This isn't about winning right now. Not in terms of a victor. This is about Yuji's feelings. Whether he's vented enough to make it through the day without breaking down and stumbling.
Katsuki shakes his hand to throw the tingling feeling at his fingertips away. Not entirely successful. So he works on trying to pop his knuckle back into place. Takes a few painful attempts, but with a crack that sounds like he just broke something, the joint returns. It hurts, in a good way, and he curls his fingers thrice to flex the sensation away.
Now comes the difficult part. Yeah, not the battle. That part's simple. Slug away. This part's trying to suss out if Yuji's telling the truth or not. So many times he's told people "I'm fine" and finally Denji called Katsuki out on it in the simplest terms possible: are you hero "fine" or actually fine? It's been impossible to get that out of his head, especially with Katsuki's friends who do the same damn thing...
Yuji could want more and he'd give it to him. Until the sorcerer or himself is knocked out. Watching Yuji splay out like a starfish on the floor is only half assuring. Kind of tempting to jump him. But that's beneath Katsuki.]

Then you won.
[Against himself.]
