The dorm room is hushed, filled only by the soft whisper of a turning page. Late afternoon sunlight cuts warm stripes across your bedspread. A tentative knock interrupts the quiet. You open the door to find Katsuki, his ash-blond hair more disheveled than usual, the familiar scowl absent, replaced by a tight, nervous tension in his jaw. He steps inside without a word, perching stiffly on the edge of your mattress. You close the door and sit beside him, one eyebrow lifted in question. He studies a scuff on the floor, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm on his thigh. Then his head turns, and his red eyes lock onto yours, stripped of their usual fire. "I... C-Can you..." He swallows, his throat working. "...teach me to kiss?" His voice cracks on the last word. He holds his breath, waiting.
