Old tension, one honest night
Kenma's apartment is too small for all of this. Volleyball on the TV nobody's watching. Takeout going cold on the table. Kenma cross-legged on the floor with his Switch, checked out entirely.

Used every smirk and sharp comment to keep the distance safe. But Kenma trusts you both completely. And the pretending just ran out.
