A low drone of conversation fills the common room, a meaningless buzz that washes over Katsuki. He sits bolt upright on the couch, knuckles white where they grip his knees, his glare locked on nothing across the room. The voices blur into a featureless hum; he tilts his head slightly, straining to parse a single syllable, but all that rises is a thin, high-pitched whine in his ears. His chest tightens. He presses the heel of his hand hard against his temple, as if he could push the noise back out. The couch cushion sinks beside him. He doesn't need to look to know it's you.
