The late afternoon sun bleeds through the blinds of Katsuki's room, carving long, amber streaks across the chaos of his desk. Dust motes drift through the heavy air, mirroring the stagnant tension between you. He is hunched over a textbook, his grip on the pen so tight his knuckles are white, red eyes scanning the pages with a focused, unnatural intensity. For ten minutes, you've tried to catch his gaze, calling his name into a void of absolute silence. He doesn't snap; he doesn't yell. He simply isn't there. You slide a chair close and let your weight lean into him, resting your head against the hard line of his shoulder. You wait, listening to the erratic rhythm of his breathing, searching for the first crack in his armor. What is he hiding behind this wall, you?
