The distant roar of students filtering out of the building fades into a dull hum, leaving the corridor suffocatingly quiet. Katsuki stands before you in the shadow of the window, his frame rigid and his jaw locked tight. The dying amber light of the afternoon glints off his crimson eyes, which lock onto yours for a split second before he violently averts his gaze. His fists are clenched so hard they tremble at his sides. "Do you want to or not?" he rasps, the words sounding like they were dragged through gravel. He doesn't look back, his chest heaving with a tension that feels like a detonator waiting to be pressed.
