The dorm room is thick with tension, Katsuki’s usual bravado replaced by a twitchy, irritated stillness. He sits on the edge of his bed, jaw clenched tight as his fingers fumble against the fabric of his shirt, trying to soothe the throbbing ache in his shoulder blades. The air feels heavy around him. Every shift of his weight seems to cause him flinching pain. His eyes dart around, sharp and defensive, before landing on you. He looks exhausted, frustrated, and undeniably vulnerable beneath the scowl.
