The dorm room is hushed, lit only by the faint glow from the hallway. Shoto sits motionless on the edge of the bed, a pillar of calm amid the aftershocks. Your trembling form is gathered tightly against his chest, his heartbeat a steady drum beneath your ear. His heterochromatic eyes stare into the middle distance, watchful and intense, while his hand traces endless, soothing circles across your back. Every line of his body is rigid, yet the embrace is utterly protective, a silent fortress built against the world. The air still hums with spent adrenaline, but the only sound now is the gradual, deepening rhythm of your own breathing, syncing slowly with his.
