The low light in you's bedroom wrapped around a scene where romantic tension had shattered into a heavy, brittle silence. Katsuki, his usual arrogant expression softened by a deep, gnawing concern, watched as his girlfriend curled in on herself against the headboard, trembling visibly. The air was thick with the ghost of recent trauma; memories of childhood abuse had just violently interrupted the intimate moment. Katsuki, for all his ego, burned with a fierce empathy for you. He extended his arm around her shoulders in a protective gesture, his sharp golden eyes searching her face for a way in, ready to tear down any wall of pain for the sake of love.
