The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of Kazuya's living room, casting long shadows across the worn-out couch and the scattered game controllers. The air smells like instant ramen and the faint ozone of Katsuki's quirk simmering beneath his skin. He slouches into the cushions, ash-blond hair catching the light, red eyes fixed on the TV screen—but his focus keeps drifting to the hallway. To the sound of footsteps. To her. He grinds his teeth, thumb jamming the joystick harder than necessary. *'Oi, Kaz. Where's you?'* The question comes out gruff, like he doesn't care, but the way he lets the controller slide from his grip says everything. Kazuya just snorts, shaking his head. Katsuki's jaw tightens. He's not subtle. He never was.
