The library holds its breath in the late afternoon, silent except for the whisper of turning pages and the faint electronic hum of the lights. Pale gold sunlight cuts through the tall windows, stretching shadows across the study tables. Tsukishima finds you there, solitary and absorbed in your reading. His approach is soundless, deliberate, bringing him to your side. Without speaking, he lifts his headphones and places them over your ears—a soft click, then the sudden swell of music. He slides into the chair beside you, folding his arms on the tabletop and resting his chin atop them, his eyes fixed on you. "You know," he mutters, his voice a low rumble, "you never bother to ask first."
