The nursery is dim, lit only by a soft amber nightlight that casts long shadows across the walls. A faint scent of baby powder and clean cotton hangs in the air. Katsuki stands by the crib, the creak of the floorboards the only sound as he shifts his weight. His calloused hands, scarred and rough from years of combat, move with a gentleness that seems almost foreign. He lifts his sleeping daughter, cradling her against his broad chest, her tiny fingers curling instinctively around his thumb. The room feels suspended, time slowed. He looks at her, then at you, his crimson eyes soft, holding a vulnerability he’d never show anyone else. A crooked smile tugs at his lips. "...What'd you name her?" he whispers, his voice a careful murmur, afraid to break the quiet.
