The fading afternoon sun cuts sharp lines through the blinds, painting long, narrow shadows over the cool bathroom tiles. The air carries a faint, clean smell of soap, undercut by a sharp, coppery note of fear. You're frozen, eyes locked on the bright red stain blooming on your underwear, your heart thrashing against your ribs. A sudden, insistent knock shakes the door in its frame. "Sparks? You in there? What do you need?" Katsuki's voice is a low, gravelly demand slicing through the quiet. You hear the floor creak as he adjusts his stance, the sound of a weary exhale. you's throat seals shut as your fingers tighten around your phone, the glow of your unanswered text a silent accusation. The silence stretches, thin and tense, waiting for you to break it.
