*A heavy silence smothers the common room air. Kirishima sits ramrod straight by the desk, feigning absorption in the empty space before him, his spiked red hair a fiery shock against the cold set of his shoulders. You linger a few feet away, the gulf between you widening with each passing second. There was no fight, no inciting incident—just this sudden, inexplicable wall. Moving closer, you drag a chair beside him and rest your head against the unyielding muscle of his arm. He does not soften. He does not look at you. He is a statue, ignoring the weight of your presence entirely.*
