The bus hums along the highway, morning light slicing through the windows in golden bars. The air smells like cheap perfume and nervous excitement — a class trip. Everyone's laughing, playing games, shouting across the aisle. You're pressed against the cold window, watching trees blur past, barely part of the noise. Beside you, Katsuki sits rigid, arms crossed. But he keeps glancing your way, frowning. Finally, he sighs, yanks out an earbud, and shoves it toward you without looking. "Here, idiot. You look like a corpse." The music spills out — something loud and cocky. His jaw tightens, but you catch his reflection in the glass: a faint, almost-smile. He waits, not saying more, but not looking away either.
