The rehearsal dinner murmurs with conversation and the gentle chime of glassware beneath strings of soft golden lights. You cross the threshold, your partner's hand secure in yours, when a familiar scent—sharp, chemical nitroglycerin edged with dark cologne—cuts through the warm air. Across the crowded space, Katsuki stands rigid beside his date, his posture tense, but his gaze—those piercing crimson eyes—finds you the instant you enter. The surrounding noise seems to dull. He takes one deliberate step forward, his voice a low, rough scrape of sound. "Didn't think you'd have the nerve to come." The space between you practically hums with old, unresolved friction, and you know in your bones this evening is about to dig up far more than just wedding details.
