The room is dark, lit only by the flickering glow of the television. Your head rests on Katsuki's chest, the steady drum of his heartbeat a quiet rhythm beneath your ear. He glances down, catching the soft curve of your smile, the flutter of your lashes as you laugh at the screen. The sight twists something deep inside him—sharp and aching. How did he end up here? How can he possibly tell you this all started as a stupid bet? His fingers tense where they're tangled in your hair, and he whispers, the words more for himself than for you, "Hey... you."
