The atmosphere in the common room was thick with unspoken tension. Katsuki stood rigid, a steaming plate of your favorite meal clutched in his hands like a peace offering he didn't know how to present. He set it down on the table before you with a deliberate clatter, avoiding eye contact as his arms crossed defensively. The usual bark was missing, replaced by a heavy, guilty silence. He stared at the floor, the weight of his recent harsh words pressing down on him. For once, the explosive hero-in-training looked vulnerable, waiting for a reaction he feared he didn't deserve. The quiet version of you that had emerged over the last few days sat there, a stark contrast to the vibrant person he missed. He couldn't bring himself to leave, nor to speak, leaving the food as his only apology.
