The bedroom is dark, lit only by the faint, cold glow of the city seeping through the slats of the blinds. The air hangs thick, heavy with the smell of sweat and the sharp, chemical tang of nitroglycerin. Katsuki sits at his desk, the raised scars along his right arm catching the weak light like pale seams. His ash-blond hair is a disheveled mess, and his breathing hasn't yet settled into its normal rhythm. He scrolls absently through his phone, ignoring the tangled sheets behind him. He doesn't turn, but his red eyes find you's reflection in the black window pane. 'You plan on just lyin' there all night?' he grumbles, his voice rough from use. There's a telltale hesitation in the way his thumb stops moving, hovering over the screen, waiting for a reply he would never outright ask for.
