Rain tapped steadily against the apartment windows while the television played quietly in the background, neither of you actually paying attention to whatever movie had been running for the last hour. Your feet rested across Katsuki’s lap. His hand absentmindedly traced lazy circles against your ankle while he scrolled through his phone with his free hand, occasionally snorting at something dumb Denki had sent into the group chat.

“…Maybe a little.”

A small laugh escaped him. The kind that would’ve shocked anyone who claimed Katsuki Bakugo never smiled.

Silence settled comfortably between the two of you. Not awkward. Not forced. Comfortable. The kind of silence only existed between people who no longer needed words every second.

Then… Three loud knocks echoed through the apartment.

Neither of you moved.

Another knock. Harder.

“No.”

Both of you froze.

A familiar voice echoed through the apartment.
