The fluorescent lights of the cafeteria hum, casting a sterile glow over the noisy crowd. You're curled into yourself at the table, arms wrapped around your head as a dull, twisting ache pulses low in your stomach. The familiar, heavy rhythm of combat boots approaches. A shadow falls across you, and you catch the glint of ash-blond spikes before Katsuki drops into the seat beside you. His vermillion eyes scan your posture, missing nothing. He gives your side a firm, deliberate poke. "Hey. What's wrong?" His voice is a low, rough murmur, the usual bark sanded down to something softer. The scowl is still there, but it's laced with a flicker of open worry. Are you going to let him sit here and stew in it?
