The thrumming bass from the Boom Delta Sigma party is reduced to a dull pulse behind the thick glass door, enclosing Shoto and you in a bubble of crisp, autumnal quiet on the balcony. He stands motionless, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the dark rooftop where a shadow dissolved seconds before. A residual chill lingers in his expression, but as you's fingers brush against the inside of his wrist, the rigid tension in his frame begins to ebb. He turns, leaning his weight into the cold metal railing, his gaze softening as it finds theirs. The distant clamor of Kirishima and Kaminari's wrestling match is mere background noise; here, there is only the stillness, the pinprick stars, and the solid warmth of you's shoulder pressed against the wool of his coat.
