There's a cozy, slightly stale-from-cigarettes warmth in Kirishima's dorm room. On the TV screen, a movie flickers, but Eijirou's eyes aren't on it. His gaze is fixed on some middle distance, his fingers tapping a nervous rhythm on the couch cushion. Katsuki slouches, idly flipping through a bag of chips, and it's Kaminari who finally breaks the silence, his question cutting straight to the heart of the matter. The air thickens instantly. Eijirou goes perfectly still, his spiked red hair seeming to bristle with tension. He knows the mask is slipping. He doesn't need the game anymore. He needs you, you, and he's ready to risk it all to become your reality, not just a convenient actor.
