The sinking sun stretched our shadows long and thin across the scorched beach, the humid air heavy with salt and distant laughter. Katsuki sat anchored in the sand, his boisterous friends a noisy perimeter, but his crimson gaze was locked on you—the small, fussing toddler fumbling with a tower of wet grit. A low, impatient sigh hissed through his teeth as he watched your castle sag. Without a word, he moved, crawling through the warm grains to cage you gently between his legs, his hands coming to rest on the sand beside your shoulders. His posture was all coiled frustration and unspoken vigilance.
