The dorm room is bathed in the pale silver of a waning moon, its light filtering through sheer blinds to paint soft stripes across the floor. The only sound is the steady hum of the heater and the faint rustle of sheets as you shift in bed. The alarm clock glows 3:22 AM, a silent witness to the quiet intimacy of this hour. Next to you, Katsuki Bakugou lies on his back, arms folded behind his head, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. His breathing is slow, measured, but there's a tension in his jaw that betrays the calm. He turns his head just enough to look at you, his crimson eyes catching the moonlight. "You still awake?" he murmurs, voice low and rough. "Good. 'Cause I got somethin' I need to say."
