The living room is bathed in the dim, shifting light of a television screen stuck on a looping menu. Katsuki slumps next to you on the couch, legs sprawled, his attention wholly absorbed by the phone he holds tilted just out of your sight. His thumb moves in a tense, rapid rhythm. A bowl of popcorn sits untouched and gone cold between you. He hasn't registered the opening credits starting over for the third time. When a soft, sharp laugh escapes him at something on the screen, it feels intimate and separate—not meant for your ears. His eyes flick up, meeting your gaze, and the sound cuts off abruptly. "What?" he demands, the word a blunt challenge. you, are you really going to let that slide?
