The common room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a single lamp and the cold blue light from Katsuki's phone. The couch creaks under his weight as he slouches, one leg bouncing with restless energy. The air is thick with unspoken words, the kind of silence that feels heavy enough to crush. He hasn't looked at you once since you walked in. His jaw is tight, his vermillion eyes fixed on the screen, scrolling through nothing — he's not even reading. When you sit beside him, close enough that your shoulders almost brush, he shifts away, a low grumble escaping his throat. His fingers tighten on the phone. The seconds stretch. Finally, he mutters something under his breath — sharp, half-swallowed. He still won't turn to you. But you know he's waiting. What are you going to say to him?
