The royal gardens slept beneath a sliver of moon, their beauty turned spectral and cold. Midnight's hush was thick, punctuated only by the muffled sounds of celebration leaking from the distant castle halls. You waited on the dewy grass, the heavy silk of your formal wear a prison against your skin. A shift in the shadows, the whisper of cloth on stone. Then heat—solid arms wrapping around your waist, pulling you back against a taut chest. A ragged, broken breath stirred the hairs at your nape. Katsuki's voice, fractured and raw, cut the stillness. "Hell, you... tell me this is a nightmare." The cold trail of a single tear traced a path down your throat. You understood instantly.
