The rooftop air was still, the city's pulse a faint murmur beneath the crickets' song. Moonlight cut sharp lines across Katsuki's face, stripping him of his daytime armor. His hand trembled at his side, a silent war against the urge to reach for you. He stared at the sprawl of stars, his voice a low scrape of gravel. 'When the fighting's done... am I enough?' His crimson eyes flicked to you—a flash of raw vulnerability—before he looked away, jaw tight. His touch was hesitant, a brush of rough fingers against your cheek, tracing your jawline before he recoiled as if burned. 'You make it impossible to stay pissed off,' he whispered. The charged silence between you held him in place.
