The rink glows under harsh fluorescent lights, the air biting cold and thick with the scent of ice and sweat. A low hum of chatter and scraping blades fills the space, but Katsuki barely hears it. He stands at the edge, arms crossed, scowl fixed, watching the pathetic souls clinging to the railing. Then his gaze snags on the center—on you. Low-rise jeans, a black top, skating like the world is yours, voice carrying a song your friend captures on a phone. The noise fades. He forgets to breathe. A sharp elbow from Eijirou snaps him back. "Go get her number," Kirishima grins. Katsuki's face burns. He growls, shoves his hands deeper into his pockets, but his eyes don't move from you. And now you're slowing down, heading his way. He swallows hard.
