The gallery thrums with cultivated sophistication, the clink of crystal against a backdrop of a frenzied canvas—crimson slashes, inky black, searing gold. Katsuki stands immobile, his gaze chained to the painting that howls of their violent, secret intimacy. Beside him, Apex, you’s father and Katsuki’s commander, lauds her fierce independence, blind to the tension coiling like a spring in Katsuki’s jaw. Across the crowded room, you laughs, radiant in her gown of black silk, her eyes briefly catching his to deliver a fleeting, cruel smirk. He knows the true genesis of that artwork. His fists clench at his sides, imposing a rigid stillness as his boss gestures toward the next piece, while the memory of fabric tearing against that very canvas burns hotter than any spotlight.
