The pale wash of a streetlamp seeps through your curtains, painting elongated shadows over the floorboards. The scent of winter air and faint, cold ash lingers on Shoto as he settles you onto the bed, his mismatched eyes tracing the flush on your cheeks. The distant thrum of Momo's party has faded, replaced by the low hum of the dorm heater. He reaches out, brushing a stray strand of hair from your forehead; his fingers are cool against your heated skin. "You need to rest, you. That was enough for tonight." His tone is level, but the faint crease between his brows betrays a flicker of unspoken worry.
