Affection

            You stretch and pause, hearing distressed breaths coming from Sakusa on the bed. You get off the futon, turning on the light and freezing finding him covered in a black sweat. 'Shit.' You swiftly grab a gasmask from the nightstand, quickly putting on gloves to shake him.

            "Kiyoomi, wake up." You call him urgently. His eyelids twitch and open, he stiffens when he looks at you.

            "What? What's wrong?" He asks in surprise.

            "Get up carefully, you need to shower." You breathe. He sits up, pausing at the black that marked his arms.

            "Oh." He nods, carefully moving to the bathroom. You toss off the gloves before going to his shelf and grabbing a black notebook.

            "Precautions for black toxin…" You flip through and find a page. "Burn everything… I can do that." You close it, gathering the sheets and blankets, opening the window and checking below before tossing it all out, making sure nothing else has gotten the sweat on it. You hurry to your room and go in. "I need fire." You tell the twins, nudging the bed to wake them.

            "Fire…" Atsumu sits up tiredly. 

            "Follow me please, quickly." You tell him, swiftly leading him downstairs and outside to the bundle of blankets. "Burn please." You point.

            "Kay." He yawns, throwing a fireball at it. He blinks at it a few times before waking up and becoming alarmed. "Wait. What?"

            "Black toxin precaution." You wave your hand. "Sakusa had a nightmare. Thank god he told me about the notebook." You add and you both watch the fire for a few long moments.

             "Thank god you didn't cuddle him. What does that even do?" Atsumu huffs.

             "It's an instant death. And why they couldn't save his mom." You breathe. "At least that's the rumors I heard."

            "Shit… That explains a lot." Atsumu breathes. "What kind of nightmare could he have with no memory?"

             "Maybe it was a bad memory?" You murmur. "I should check on him." You add, heading back inside quickly. You return to the room as he pulls on a shirt. "Hey."

             "I'm sorry." He says frowning lightly. "Are you hurt?"

             "No. I'm fine. Luckily you were prepared for this." You hold up the black notebook. You put it on the desk before going to the closet and opening it. "Damn… Looks like that was your only bed set. I'll have to get you another one…" 

            "Y-You don't have to. I have money… Right?" 

            "I… Actually don't know where you keep your money. You probably have a safe hidden somewhere." You admit. 

            "Hm… I'm cautious so…" He moves the dresser over to show a wall safe. ".... Wow…" 

            "Why do you get a wall safe?" You huff. "There's a number pad on it. Even if you found it you can't get in." You breathe. He hums lightly, tilting his head.

            "When's my birthday?" He asks.

            "March twentieth…. That's too obvious Sakusa." You point out as he puts it in just to get denied. He pauses and looks back at you. 

             ".. My phone?" He murmurs. You take it out of the drawer in his desk before passing it to him. "Locked too…" He grumbles. He looks between them before looking at you. "When's your birthday?" 

             "Now you're just grabbing for straws…. There's no way that'll work..." You huff, but you tell him your birthday anyway. He pauses and blinks. 

            "Yeah you're probably right… I'll check the notebooks then…" He discreetly inputs your birthday in his phone, unlocking it. "Oh…" 

           "What's wrong?" You ask.

           "I just put in a random code and unlocked my phone. I should be able to find the code in it." He tells you.

          "Okay. Well, hurry up, it's time to eat." You pat his back before turning to the door.

           "Wait." He stands up and grabs your hand. You look back at him and pink dusts his cheeks. "Um… Can I…" He swallows looking to the side. "H-have a quick… Kiss?" The question made you turn pink. 

           "You weren't supposed to be awake then…" You stammer.

           "I was half asleep…" He admits tilting his head. "But I liked it. So… Please?" He blushes more. 

           "Promise not to be mad when you get your memory back?"

           "Promise." He nods. You relax and lean forward and kiss him softly. 

           "There. Now hurry up. You need to eat." You breathe. 

           "Wait. One more." He requests, tugging your hand gently.

           "Dammit Sakusa I'm trying to restrain myself." You huff puffing your cheeks.

           "Yeah, me too… So, one more. Please?" He smiles.

           "You're just trouble." You smirk giving him another swift kiss before hurrying out, feeling a bit dazed. You head downstairs and into the kitchen to find Osamu finishing some plates.

           "Good morning. You okay? Atsumu told me about the bed stuff." He touches your cheek. 

           "I'm fine! Perfectly fine! And hungry." You manage. 

           "Okay… Here's food, go eat and calm down." He gives you a plate and pats your head before nudging you for the dining room. You go in and sit between Akaashi and Bokuto, eating quietly.

          "You okay?" Akaashi asks.

          "I'm fine." You hum. 

          "Where's Sakusa?" Bokuto asks.

          "Room, he should come down soon." You answer.

          "Okay then." Bokuto peers at you. "Need a hug?"

          "No. But I do love your hugs." You breathe, immediately getting a bear hug from him. "So nice." You breathe hugging him back just as tightly. Akaashi watches you two and frowns briefly, Bokuto chuckles and pulls Akaashi into the hug as well. "Morning Akaashi." You smile at him. He just gives you a hug, peering into your eyes quietly. "Your eyes are so beautiful." 

          "___…" He moves his face behind your shoulder at that. 

          "Awww." You chuckle.

          "___! I'm home!" Tendo cheers.

          "Haven't heard that voice in a bit." Akaashi comments, pulling away as Tendo comes in. 

          "Hi Tendo." You and Bokuto greet still hugging each other. He blinks and chuckles, joining in on the hug too kissing your temple.

          "I have missed you so much. How are you doing? Is Sakusa alright?" He asks softly as you all pull apart.

          "I'm alright. He's doing really well, I think he instinctively knows things so I'm sure his memory will return soon." You smile. "What brings you by?"

           "You. I want to go clothes shopping with you. Maybe make today a date?" He smiles rubbing his neck sheepishly. 

            "I'd like that." You breathe. "Everyone else should spend time with Sakusa for a bit." 

            "You realize last time you left him with us almost everyone got paralyzed." Atsumu huffs.

            "It'll be fine. You guys know better now… Right?" You tilt your head. 

            "... Yes." Nishinoya nods. 

            "That was not very convincing." Tendo chuckles.

            "If it helps. I don't plan on hugging him… Ever again." Atsumu says lightly.

            "Unless he looks like he's about to cry apparently." Tendo snickers. Atsumu turns pink, giving you an embarrassed glare.

            "What? It was very sweet." You hum, "I had to tell Tendo." You finish eating and get up. "Come on, I just need to shower and then we can go." You tell him. 

            "Okay. By the way I saw smoke on my way in." Tendo hugs your arm as you both reach the lobby as Sakusa comes down stairs, some of the others following after him. He pauses blinking at you both, suddenly moving and pulling you away from Tendo, baring his fangs and making the redhead blink at him.

              "Whoa. Sakusa…" Iwaizumi mutters in surprise, Oikawa hiding behind him in alarm.

              "Easy there Sakusa. That venom of yours can burn holes in people." He smiles calmly, taking out a handkerchief and covering Sakusa's mouth as he gives Sakusa a chilling gaze. "You don't want ___ to get hurt right?" 

             Sakusa blinks, suddenly pulling away and keeping the handkerchief to his mouth. "I'm sorry ___, I-I.." 

             "I get you're a bit possessive of me right now. But let's make one thing clear." You breathe, turning to him and fixing him with a glare. "Don't EVER bare your fangs at my best friend." You raise your voice firmly, making him stiffen. 

             "I-I…" He stammers, worry crossing his face. Tendo touches your shoulder.

             "Don't be so hard on him ___, he doesn't know me. He was just protecting you. You know people are naturally wary of me for some reason. It's not his fault." Tendo says softly. You blink and relax, frowning lightly.

             "I'm sorry Sakusa…" You murmur.

             "N-No. I shouldn't have acted without thinking… I'm sorry." He responds swiftly.

              "There. You're both sorry, so hug and make up." Tendo smiles, nudging you. You shift and open your arms to Sakusa, instantly getting a hug from him.

              "I won't do it again. I promise." He breathes. You pat his back softly.

              "I know you won't…" You pull back and kiss his cheek, making him relax.

              "There. No harm done." Tendo pats his head with a smile. "Okay ___ go get your shower." He adds as Sakusa pauses slightly. 

              "Right. Oh! Come look at my room now. The twins have been decorating." You chime going upstairs. Tendo chuckles in amusement and follows you up.

              "... He didn't get paralyzed…" Sakusa murmurs looking up the stairs. 

              "Huh?" Oikawa blinks.

              "That's right. You did touch his hand when you took the handkerchief." Iwaizumi realizes, looking at the stairs.

              "Why is he immune..?" Sakusa breathes.

              "That's a really good question."

              Tendo falls back on your bed with a happy hum, stretching and popping his back. "Ahhh… So nice."

               "You act like you haven't slept in a proper bed in a while." You hum as you pick out clothes. 

                "Not really, Wakatoshi broke his bed during a nightmare so I've been letting him use mine and sleeping on the floor." He tells you.

                "You can stay the night. The twins can watch out for Sakusa." You lean over him, cupping his cheek, thumb rubbing under his eye softly. "You do look tired." You frown slightly. He blinks up at you, reaching up and grazing your cheek with his fingertips.

               "Fine. I'll stay with you tonight. Sounds really nice." He smiles softly. "Now go shower. Your hand on my cheek makes me want to fall asleep." 

               "Heh. Sorry." You chuckle going into the bathroom. He hums sitting up and rubbing the cheek you had touched with a small happy smile.

               "Hey Tendo." Atsumu greets coming in. 

               "Hi Atsumu. How have you been?" Tendo greets cheerfully.

               "I'm good. Kinda weird with Sakusa acting like a plushie." Atsumu sits down. "But you didn't get to see that."

               "No. I've heard alot about it too. Sounded so cute." Tendo chuckles sheepishly. He glances at Atsumu. "I wouldn't recommend that by the way. ___ will be very angry with you." He adds lightly, looking at him with a calm smile. Atsumu pauses, claws retracting into his fingers. 

             "I was just testing something. Are you always peering ahead like that?" Atsumu asks warily.

             "You really are wary of me. So I keep doing it when you're around, in case you try something dangerous. Like you were just thinking of doing." Tendo responds tilting his head. 

            "And when you're with ___?" Atsumu's eyes narrow.

            "There's no point. My amazing best friend is the only one I can't make predictions about." Tendo sighs blissfully. "Makes me love ___ even more when I get surprised." Atsumu watches him for a moment, relaxing slightly.

           "Sorry. I couldn't really relax, it's weird, since you smell like you bathed in alcohol." He rubs his nose.

           "There was a plumbing issue back in the dorms that I happened to walk in on. Alcohol just seemed like the best course to take." Tendo waves his hand dismissively.

           "So you have those plumbing issues often?" Atsumu raises a brow.

           "Yeah. It's an old school after all. Lots of things degrade after a while." Tendo says pointedly.

            "True…" Atsumu nods.

            "It's okay if you don't trust me. But I don't plan on hurting ___ so you can relax a bit FireFox." Tendo stands up, peering over as you come out of the bathroom with a relaxed smile, steam rolling out of the bathroom behind you. "So beautiful." 

            "Alright Tendo. I'm ready." You smile at him, pulling on a glove. He smiles, coming over and taking your hand.

             "Okay, let's go." He hums, guiding you out. Atsumu frowns at the doorway, shifting slightly.

              "Have fun…" He mutters.

             "Oh. I haven't been to the city in a long while." You comment as you both step into the train. He guides you to a place to sit before it got crowded.

             "Me neither. I thought it would be fun for us to go, try all the shops… Spoil my best friend." He nuzzles your temple affectionately. "Just us today. No trouble or interruptions." 

              "That sounds great." You smile, hugging him warmly. "Hm? Tendo you feel firm." You rub his chest, before pulling on the collar of his sweater to peer in. "Whoa. When did it get so defined?" You gasp, peering over his pale muscles.

              "... This isn't fair ___," Tendo teases and you blink and meet his amused gaze.

              "Oh. Sorry." You blush slightly, releasing his collar. He chuckles, pulling you closer and kissing your cheek.

              "You're so cute… And you're getting firm too." He rubs your side lightly. You chuckle sheepishly at that. He peers at your face, smiling happily as he moves some hair from your face. "I've missed you."

              "I've missed you too." You grin. 

             The train takes you into the city and you both get off, Tendo taking the lead. "Let's see… There's a cute clothes shop near the plaza." He says looking at the map on his phone as he takes your hand and guides you about. "Then there's a hero themed store across from it. The plaza has the best stores it seems." He shows you.

              "Oooh Tendo, you think they have one of those secret shops around here?" You gasp with a curious smile. 

              "Maybe." He chuckles giving you a surprised look. "What are you hoping to find?" 

              "I just want to browse." You admit scratching your cheek. He smiles watching you before kissing the back of your hand.

               "If that's what you want I'll find one." He hums, one eye starting to glow.

               "Don't strain your eyes Tendo. I'll be happy even if we don't find one." You tell him, touching his cheek. His eyes soften but the glow doesn't fade, he pecks your nose before looking away.

               "Too late. I'm looking." He hums. You chuckle shaking your head as you peer about. First was the cute shop he had mentioned. You both go browsing together.

               "Tendo! Look! It's an owl hoodie!" You gasp suddenly, going to it. "It's so cute!"

              "Reminds me of Koutarou. He'll be really happy." He nudges you and you pick one out to try on. You turn to him with a big smile. "Hmm.. Get a bigger size. It'll look even cuter on you." He chuckles and you take it off, picking out a bigger one before continuing browsing. You bump into some wearing a dinosaur themed hoodie and nearly knock them over. "Oh. I'm so sorry- Tsukishima?" You blink in surprise.

              "Did you not see me…" He gives you a frown.

              "No. I was looking at my best friend." You point at Tendo. "He had the cutest smile just now." You whisper to him. Tendo snickers looking away as he hides an amused smile. Tsukishima hums, giving you a look.

              "I… Really don't care. Just watch where you're going." He sighs. 

              "Nice hoodie by the way." You chuckle unphased. 

              "... Thanks." He nods seeming to want to leave this conversation.

              "Right? It matches his quirk perfectly." A familiar voice comments behind you. 

              "Yamaguchi!" You greet turning about and hugging him, making him blush lightly. 

              "I-it's good to see you again." He manages, hugging you.

               "Oh! So you got a dinosaur quirk?" You gasp, turning back to Tsukishima and making him tense slightly. Tendo just chuckles quietly watching the interaction.

               "Just had to say something…" He tosses Yamaguchi a look.

               "Sorry Tsukki." Yamaguchi rubs his neck. "But yeah. It's a really cool TRex transformation." He murmurs to you.

              "Yamaguchi…" Tsukishima frowns at him more.

             "That's so awesome! Wish I could've seen it!" You gasp. He stiffens and looks away with a scowl.

             "Sure. Come on Yamaguchi." He says swiftly leaving.

            "Heh, it was nice seeing you again. Bye ___," Yamaguchi waves as he follows.

           "That guy does not like me." You comment waving after them.

           "What gave him away?" Tendo asks.

           "He won't show me the dinosaur." You pout. He starts laughing at that, hugging you tightly.

           "You're so damn cute." He breathes. "Oh! I found you something else!" He gasps suddenly moving away to take a cactus plushie off the shelf, "Look. It's Sakusa." He grins.

           "Oh my god! I love it!" You gasp hugging it as he presses it to your chest. He smiles warmly kissing your cheek. 

            "Come on. We should get out of here before one of us tries to buy the store." He rumbles, taking you to the checkout counter to buy what you had grabbed. Then he leads across the street to browse the other stores.

             You two spent most of the day there, before Tendo decides to take you deeper into the city. "We're going to get lost again." You hum peering about.

             "Don't worry our phones aren't dead so we can find the way out." He stops near an alley, peering in at a door, eye glowing for a moment. "This is it." He smiles guiding you to the door and opening it, making a chime go off inside. You blink and step into the dim store, jaw dropping before you look at Tendo. He gives you a wink, taking your hand to tour the odd antique isles.

             "Wow… This is kinda spooky." You whisper, leaning against him as you peer about.

            "Oh. It's ___." A disembodied voice sounds and you look over to find the ghostly face of Hiro blinking at you, head partially through an antique plate. You squeak in surprise swiftly hiding your face in Tendo's chest, the redhead swiftly covers his mouth, tears coming to his eyes as he cracks up laughing. "... Sorry."

           "Best. Store. Ever." Tendo laughs hugging you.

           "Are you tryna kill me, Hiro?!" You gasp once you recover, clutching your chest.

           "Depends going to buy something?" He asks, coming through the shelf and materializing. You pause, leaning into Tendo more as he chuckles lightly. "I'm kidding ___." Hiro turns away with a chuckle. 

            "Oh… You work here?" You relax a bit.

            "Mhm this is a family owned business." He nods. "Actually. I'm surprised to see you. But also glad." He says before going through the wall. You and Tendo blink at the wall before looking at each other.

             "Keep being cute and I'm going to eat you up." He warns lightly with a smile. 

             "I wasn't trying to be cute, Tendo. He scared the demons out of me." You pout. He chuckles again holding you closer before giving you a kiss. 

            "So cute." He whispers as you blush slightly. 

            "Here we are," Hiro hums, coming around the corner and making you two separate. He holds up a black box, holding it out to you. "Pop said these used to belong to a hero with a quirk a lot like yours." He opens it to show a pair of black armored gloves. "Said these gloves are indestructible… Give it a shot." 

            "But what if I ruin them?" You frown unsurely.

             "I'll say I lost them." He shrugs. "I owe you anyway. Seems right." You blink and take off the glove of your right hand, to lightly touch them. Nothing happens. Not a single particle lifts from them. You pause and instinctively pull them on, pausing as the fabric adjusts to your forearm and hand. 

          "... What was the hero's name?" You ask in a daze.

          "Dunno. I'm not even sure if he was a hero to be honest." He says looking at them and nodding. "They're yours for fifteen dollars." 

           "Hiro…" You frown, that felt too cheap.

           "Here." Tendo hands him some money and Hiro pauses.

           "... This is a lot more…" He looks at Tendo. 

           "___ won't be happy to barely pay for something this great." Tendo shrugs, sending you a smile.

           "Tendo. You don't have to I can-"

           "Let me spoil you already." He pouts, making you stiffen and look away. "Thanks Hiro. So glad I took the time to find this place." Tendo chuckles, shaking his hand. "Lets go now. It's getting late." He touches your back.

            "Okay, thanks Hiro. I'm so glad you're doing so well." You smile, hugging him before following Tendo out. He blinks after you before looking at the money Tendo handed him.

            "I ask for fifteen and he hands me 500…" He frowns lightly.

            You hum happily, rubbing your hands together. "It's so thin, feels like I'm not wearing a glove." You breathe. Tendo hums, taking your right hand.

             "That does feel softer." He comments.

             "What luck. I wasn't expecting that." You grin. "You're the best Tendo."

             "Anything for you." He pulls you into his side, stopping briefly to kiss you. "You know that right?" He asks softly, nose brushing yours. Your face and ears grow warm as you blush under his gaze. 

              "Yeah. O-Of course I know." You manage. He shifts, cupping your cheek and pressing another kiss to your lips.

               "Everything I do is with you in mind… Except right now. I'm being kinda selfish and…" Another kiss. "Can't help myself." He bites his lip and pulls away to check his phone as it goes off. "Not now." He murmurs sending a message. He looks to you and pauses at your shocked red face. "Oops.. Did I break you?" He chuckles leaning forward and tipping your chin. "I love you ___. More than anything." He pecks your lips again. "Come on. Can you still walk in that daze? We should really get back." He adds before taking your hand and guiding you along cheerfully. 

            'He's really affectionate today… My heart is going to pop. My face hurts from the blood rushing to it too.' You blink a few times rubbing your cheek. You peer at him quietly as he looks ahead with a happy smile. 'Well, as long as he's happy…'

         You both return to the dorm a little bit past sundown, being greeted by Oikawa and Atsumu. "Finally, we thought you two weren't coming back." Oikawa jokes hugging you.

          "What is that…" Atsumu looks at the cactus plushie in your arms. "... I hate it. Don't put that in our room." He deadpans.

          "Oh. It's going in our room." You smirk at him. "By the way, Tendo's staying the night so you and Osamu can watch over Sakusa. Make sure you wear your gas masks just in case." You add.

           "What?! Why? He has a dorm to return to!" Atsumu objects.

           "It's too late now. So he's sleeping here." You shrug.

           "Dammit." Atsumu grumbles heading upstairs.

           "He's going to be grumpy in the morning." Tendo yawns.

           "Yeah… Come on, let's go to bed." You hum, taking his hand and guiding him upstairs to your room. The twins come out, sending you pouts before they put on their masks and head to Sakusa's room. Tendo pauses outside your door, looking toward Sakusa's.

             "You should say goodnight to him. He's like a puppy right now." He tells you.

             "Right…" You hesitate before going into Sakusa's room. The twins look over at you as you rub your cheek and look at Sakusa's confused face as he sits at his desk.

             "You're back." He greets with a smile, then looks at the twins. "But what are you two doing in here?" 

             "They're guarding you tonight." You tell him lightly. He blinks at you, shoulders drooping at that.

            "Oh… Is it because of earlier?" He asks looking down with a frown.

            "No. Tendo's staying the night is all." You tell him tilting your head to peer at his face.

            "... I see…" His fingers twitch before he looks at you and nods.

            "Okay then… Sleep well." He opens his arms to you. A smile comes to your lips and you hug him warmly.

            "Oh! I got you guys something!" You pull away to dig in your bags. They light up slightly at that. "Let's see. I got Sakusa this new hoodie. And for Atsumu a shirt he'll appreciate. And a sushi plushie for Osamu." You grin passing out the gifts. Osamu immediately hugs his.

            "It's so cute." He whispers as Atsumu cracks up at his new shirt.

             "I love it. You get me." He chuckles happily.

             "This is really nice and plush…" Sakusa murmurs smiling softly. "Thank you ___," He gives you a warm smile that melts your heart.

            "Aww… Kiyoomi…" You hug him at that, making him blink and chuckle. "You're so cute." You breathe pulling back. 

             "Our turn." The twins reach for you, silently demanding hugs. You chuckle and hug them, receiving a kiss on the cheek from both before you head back to your room, finding Tendo curled up in the bed. You smile and take some clothes to change into the bathroom. You come back out and crawl under the covers, getting pulled into Tendo's chest as he realizes you're there. 

            "Thank you." He murmurs sleepily.

            "I should be thanking you." You respond peering at his face. He meets your gaze looking half asleep.

            "... That's okay. You can thank me in kisses." He hums smiling lightly. You blink and chuckle, giving him a soft kiss in response. "I love those." He nuzzles your cheek. "Goodnight." 

             "Sweet dreams Tendo."
