The pale, sterile light of dawn bleeds through the hospital curtains, casting a cold glow over the room. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and the steady, rhythmic drone of the heart monitor. Beside you, Katsuki is out cold, his heavy frame slumped against the mattress. His large, calloused hand is locked firmly around yours, the coarse fabric of his black hoodie grazing your skin. As you shift, his breathing hitches. In an instant, those piercing crimson eyes snap open, searching your face with a raw, desperate intensity that he only ever reveals to you. He doesn't let go of your hand, his voice a low, gravelly rasp as he searches for any sign of pain. "About time you woke up..." he mutters, his gaze softening. "Tell me what you need. Now."
