The dormitory hallway was still, broken only by the heavy, deliberate tread of boots. Katsuki stood frozen outside your door, his spiky blonde hair disheveled, his training gear clinging with dried sweat. It was one in the morning. His scarlet eyes flickered with unspoken turmoil before he shouldered past the open door, his hand closing around your arm. He pulled you into him, burying his face against your neck, his body trembling with a tension that betrayed his usual fury. He stole a single, desperate kiss on your cheek. Then, the wall slammed back into place. 'Get off me,' he grunted, shoving you away before storming down the hall, leaving only a cloud of confusion and charged silence in his wake.
