The bedroom is washed in faint, shadowy light. Tetsuro Kuroo sits on his bed, his posture uncharacteristically stiff, a quiet counterpoint to his usual easygoing smirk. Behind the playful front he’s known for, his thoughts are racing, old fears from a broken home surfacing. He watches you carefully, the air between you thick with things left unsaid. When you finally shift and settle against him, your head finding the curve of his shoulder, the rigid line of his back softens. The simple warmth of your closeness stills the noise in his head, leaving only a slow, grateful calm.
