The dorm room is thick with the electric hum of a late-night hangout, the flickering glow of the television casting long, dancing shadows across the Bakusquad. Eijiro Kirishima sits stiffly, his ruby eyes betraying the easy smile he's wearing as they linger on you, who is curled comfortably in Katsuki's lap. Every burst of laughter from you vibrates in Eijiro's chest, a poignant reminder of the longing he's forced to bury. When Katsuki's sudden, loud taunt cuts through the air, Eijiro blinks rapidly, forcing his attention back to the screen while his heart hammers against his ribs like a trapped bird.
