The flickering glow of the television paints the League's hideout in shifting shadows, stretching across the battered couch. Dabi snarls a curse as Shigaraki's character executes another brutal combo, the plastic controller groaning in his clenched grip. You're pressed against Shigaraki's side, your head settled on his shoulder—a place he's learned to accept, his body no longer tensing at the touch.

The air smells of cold pizza and settled dust. Shigaraki's thumb rests near the fabric of your sleeve, a hair's breadth from contact. You've learned to read the silent plea in his stillness. What do you do next?
