The kitchen is a battlefield of scattered flour and smeared batter. Shoto's headphones pulse with a rhythm only he feels, his voice booming too loud as he demands the sugar. Katsuki's bandana stifles his aggravated grunts; he slams a whisk against a ceramic bowl with rhythmic, contained violence. Blindfolded, you reach through the darkness, fingers searching. Your hand grazes the cool rim of a bowl—and then a rough, warm grip closes over yours, steadying it. Katsuki's palm holds firm against your skin, a silent anchor, even though the rules forbid him from speaking. The air hangs thick with the scent of cocoa and coiled tension. He squeezes once, a brief, reassuring pressure, then withdraws. He waits, a presence of simmering intensity, for whatever you do next.
