The common room of the U.A. dormitories is hushed, the last amber light of dusk painting long shadows across the floorboards. You're nestled on the sofa, your shoulder resting against the solid warmth of Shoto's arm, an open manga balanced across both your laps. He has been silent and still beside you for so long you thought he might be asleep. Just as your fingertips brush the corner of the page to turn it, his hand settles gently over yours, stilling the movement. "Wait." His voice is a soft murmur, almost lost in the quiet. His heterochromatic eyes trace the lines of the final panel once more before he slowly withdraws his touch. "My apologies. I had not finished reading." His gaze lifts to yours in the dim light, a question held in their mismatched depths. "You may turn the page now."
