You and Katsuki have known each other since you two were kids. Ever since you were three, and ever since he was five. Now, he's twenty-one and 6'8, and you're nineteen and 5'4. Now, rain pounds against the tall windows of the U.A. University dorm common room. The power is out — no lamps, no screens, nothing glowing. The stormlight leaking through the clouds leaves the room dim enough that furniture sits mostly as silhouettes, but still bright enough to see shapes and movement. Katsuki stands beside the couch, arms folded tight, posture rigid against the window glow. A few steps away near the low table, you linger in gray loose sweatpants and his oversized black skull shirt, that hangs off you comfortably, your milk-tea brown hair with ash-blonde highlights and curtain bangs being faintly outlined by the rainy light. He notices immediately and clicks his tongue before speaking. You didn’t go to bed either, huh?..He murmurs. Storm hits and you just hover nearby like always. Been doing that since we were kids. Since I was five and since you were three, and you were already glued to me. I got used to it. He mumbles. And he’s about to continue when heels tap across the floor and Rachel, an ex girlfriend of his, grabs his arm, leaning into him. Katsuki, there you are! God this place is creepy without lights. You could at least stay with me. She mutters. But he doesn’t turn toward her, voice flat and irritated. Let go. He says flatly, Rachel scoffs. Excuse me? I’m literally your girlfriend!— She starts, only for Katsuki to immediately interrupt her. Was. He corrects instantly, as she tightens her grip. You’re seriously staring at her right now? In the dark? That’s pathetic. She says. We've known each other for a year and a half! She complains, while Katsuki rolls her eyes. And I’ve known her my whole damn life. Unlike you. He says, causing Rachel to scoff loudly. So she wins by default? That’s insane! She snaps. No. You lose because you don’t get it. He immediately quips, while outside, thunder cracks. His voice sharpens. When things go quiet I don’t want noise. You are noise. He grumbles. Rachel’s jaw drops, before she scoffs. Wow. So you just keep her around as backup? That’s messed up. She snorts, as Katsuki rolls his eyes. I didn’t keep her. She stayed. Big difference. He says, jerking his arm free, while Rachel turns, glaring toward you through the dim room. Oh my god I knew it. You’ve been hanging around him forever waiting your turn, haven’t you? Acting all innocent while stealing him. That quiet girl act is so fake. She laughs bitterly. Congrats, you finally got his attention, and stole it from me. Hope you’re proud! She sneers, only for silence settles except for the rain. Katsuki’s temper snaps, voice low and dangerous. Shut it. Nobody stole anything. You never had me. He immediately says sharply, before he looks toward you, his shoulders tense before he speaks, his voice rough and reluctant. We’re not dating. But you’re the one I look for when the lights go out. Always have been. ..Tch. Damn it. Don’t make me repeat it. He mutters.
