The infirmary door closes with a soft click, shutting out the sterile smell of bandages and antiseptic. Bokuto stands before you, his tall frame a battered shield, fresh bruises mapping the violence he absorbed on your behalf. He moves with a heavy, protective hush, then stops dead in the corridor. His hands—large, warm, and trembling slightly—rise to cradle your face, his touch impossibly gentle against the rage still humming in his muscles. His golden eyes, glossy with unshed tears, lock onto yours, the cheerful ace nowhere to be seen, replaced by raw, shuddering concern. 'Are you alright?' he whispers, the words barely a sound.
