**Pale morning light slants through the dormitory windows, catching the slow swirl of dust in the air. Katsuki moves with a heavy, deliberate slowness, his usual storm-celled energy grounded by fever. One hand grips a chipped mug; the other is shoved deep in his pocket. His ashy hair is a wild, slept-on mess. The kitchen holds its breath, silent except for the fading hum of the kettle. He stops, feet rooted to the floor, when he sees you leaning against the countertop—pale, tired, looking just as flu-wrecked as he feels. The space between them fills with the sterile scent of medicine and a thick, unspoken understanding of shared misery.**
