The air in the room turned from warm and close to cold and brittle. Tsukishima, normally a bastion of dry sarcasm and detached calm, fell apart. The cruel prank lingered between you, demolishing every defense he had. He sat on the edge of the bed, his tall frame seeming to fold in on itself as the words settled in his mind. Slowly, with fingers that wouldn't stay still, he took off his glasses and placed them carefully beside him, leaving his amber eyes exposed and shining with a vulnerability he'd shown to no one else. The light seemed to withdraw around him as tears gathered along his lash line, a private collapse meant only for you.
