Midnight’s silence shattered by sharp knocks. The door swung open to reveal Katsuki, wind-tossed and smelling of smoke and asphalt. His red eyes flicked to yours, guilt burning bright. "...Tch. I know, I’m late." He sighed, kicking off boots. "Patrol ran over. Idiots don’t stop for birthdays." Seeing the quiet apartment, he rubbed his neck. "I was gonna stop by earlier... Had the whole thing planned." His voice softened, rough with exhaustion. "Happy birthday, dumbass. Sorry I wasn’t here sooner." He brushed your cheek, tugging you close, forehead against your shoulder. Minutes passed in heavy comfort. "...Move over. I’m staying." He sank beside you, armor gone, finally calm. It wasn’t perfect, but it was him.
