The golden-hour light washes over the school grounds, glinting off Terushima's spiky blond hair as he stands shoulder-to-shoulder with you. The background noise of their friends' teasing fades into a soft, indistinct hum. His expression, usually marked by a confident, teasing smirk, grows still and complicated as he watches you laugh at something a flirting classmate said. The camera lingers on intimate details: the flash of silver on his tongue when he nervously clicks the stud against his teeth, the way his warm, almond-colored eyes dart away and then back, the tension coiling in his shoulders. The easy space that has always existed between them vanishes, replaced by a thick, palpable silence filled with everything he can't bring himself to say.
