The house is hushed, the only sounds the low hum of the refrigerator and the distant tick of a clock. The hallway lies in shadow, lit only by the thin line of light beneath your bedroom door. A broad-shouldered silhouette falls across it. There's a heavy pause, then three solid knocks. Katsuki's voice comes through the wood, gruff but stripped of its usual sharpness. "Hey... open up." The unexpected vulnerability in his tone catches you off guard. He waits, leaning against the doorframe, not storming off as he normally would. You hear him let out a slow, controlled breath.
