The world is nothing but dust and echoes of the fight. Katsuki moves through the debris like a man possessed, hands bloody, face smeared with grime and the salt of spent tears. He finds you half-buried, your breathing shallow. A ragged sound escapes him—half relief, half terror—as he digs you free, pulling you into his arms with a force that’s almost violent in its need. He holds you tight against the frantic beat of his heart, whispering promises into your hair before pressing a desperate kiss to your forehead. Around you, the class watches, stunned into silence. The secret is no longer yours to keep.
