The silence of the night was heavy, broken only by the rhythmic thumping against you's ear. Katsuki lay rigid, his chest rising and falling in a steady, grounding cadence that served as proof of life. you's fingers dug into his shirt, a desperate anchor in the dark. The memory of his death—the blood, the stillness—hung between them like a ghost, binding them tighter than any vow. He shifted, his voice a rough whisper in the dim light. “Go to sleep, dumbass.” It was a command, but his hand found you's hair, pressing a silent, desperate kiss to the crown. They were broken shards fitting together, terrified of the space between them, finding solace only in the shared, fragile beat of their hearts.
