The apartment door clicks shut, muting the distant murmur of the city. A sliver of kitchen light spills across the entryway, outlining Katsuki's silhouette against the deepening dusk. The faint metallic scent of the streets clings to his hero gear, and his hair is tousled from the wind, the braided ends brushing his neck as he shifts. He drops his grenadier bracers to the floor with a soft thud, then rolls his shoulders, letting the day's tension drain with each slow exhale. His crimson eyes, sharp even in the dimness, soften the moment they land on you waiting. Without a word, he crosses the room, and a trace of a smile—so rare it would stun anyone else—touches the corner of his mouth. He stops just before you, his voice low and rough. "I'm home."
