The door swings open without warning, shattering the dense silence of the bedroom. Katsuki is there, hunched over his bed, the blue light of the screen illuminating his tense features and his ragged breathing. The air freezes. His eyes jerk up toward you, capturing the exact moment reality hits. There's no anger, just a raw discomfort and an involuntary exposure. The laptop snaps shut with a sharp, dry sound that cuts the tension. He avoids your gaze, his voice a rough scrape: '...Does knocking ring a bell?' The silence that follows is heavy, loaded with years of history and a new, awkward understanding.
