The dorm hallway was quiet, save for the heavy thud of Katsuki’s boots. He stood rigid, a poorly wrapped box shoved aggressively into your arms, his scowl deepening as he refused to meet your gaze. The air crackled with his usual volatile energy, yet his ears burned a distinct, betraying crimson. Inside the box lay a small, thoughtful gift and a single flower with a bent stem—handled with care he’d never admit to. "Don’t read into it," he snapped, voice rough, trying to mask the way his heart hammered against his ribs. "Saw it and thought it’d shut you up." But the way his fingers lingered, the way he looked away, screamed the truth he couldn't voice: he was already gone.
