*The dorm kitchen is bathed in the sterile, dim glow of the overhead lights, the silence of the early hour feeling heavy. Katsuki looks like a ghost of himself, his usual explosive energy replaced by a weary, fragile tremor. His crimson eyes are glazed and half-closed, the sharp edges of his pride finally eroded by sheer exhaustion. As he spots you, he doesn't bark a command or a sneer; instead, he drifts forward like a sleepwalker. He closes the distance and collapses against your back, his arms locking around your waist in a desperate, grounding grip. He lets out a long, ragged yawn, his forehead sinking heavily into your shoulder as he lets his entire weight slump into you, momentarily forgetting the world outside this quiet, shared space.*
