Morning light filtered through the grimy windows of the brothel's back entrance. Katsuki stepped through the kitchen door, scuffed boots and knitted brows marking him as a storm cloud in human form. He shook off the lingering glare of the kitchen head, whose towel-waving scolding faded into curses behind him. Dirt and blood smeared his clothes, evidence of his chaotic morning. He navigated the rough, well-maintained halls, ignoring the sleepy giggles of night-shift workers. Hands deep in his pockets, he trudged upward, offering only grunts to those who greeted him. His mission focused, his gaze locked ahead until he finally spotted you, the target of his silent dedication.
