"Okay so tomorrow we'll go to the fair. Just the three of us." Mika chimes, your hands in here as she smiles at you. "We're going to have so much fun!" 

           "Yeah we are. I can't wait." You chuckle smiling at her. She pauses, blushing lightly as she looks into your eyes before shifting and pecking your cheek. You blush at that, dropping your gaze.

           "Sleep well okay?" She breathes before hurrying off. 

           "Ah! Mika!" Daishou huffs after her before shifting and meeting your gaze briefly before hugging you. "See you tomorrow." He says before going after her.

            "So glad to be back home." Atsumu stretches. 

            "But our getaway only lasted a day…" Oikawa sighs.

            "What? Did you want to stay there another night?" Iwaizumi huffs. 

            "Oh God no…." Oikawa shakes his head swiftly.

            "___," Kiyoomi touches your shoulder since you stood there staring at your right hand. You blink and meet his gaze, dropping your arm.

            "I'm going to visit Tendo." You tell him lightly. "Well, I hope I can at least. Can't message him since everyone's phones got destroyed anyway." You rub your neck. "I don't know if I'll be back tonight though, so don't worry if I don't show up." 

            "... I probably will whether I like it or not." He admits pulling down his mask to kiss your temple. "Be safe please." 

            "Heh… I will…" You blush with a smile looking down shyly.

            "... Get away from me with that cute shit." He nudges you lightly, mask hiding his smile. You stick your tongue out at him before starting for Kuri. 

            'How can I let Tendo know I'm there without going onto campus?' You wonder, putting a knuckle to your chin in thought. You frown, lightly and look ahead, pausing when you see him walking up your way.

             "Hm? Do my eyes deceive me? Or is that my cute ___?” He tilts his head cutely with a smile. 

             "Satori!" You chime running up and hugging him. He chuckles and hugs you back tightly, kissing your cheek.

             "What a cute greeting! But what are you doing back?" He pulls back slightly to peer at your face.

             "... I'll tell you over brunch." You smile with a head tilt before pausing and looking into his eyes. "What happened to this one? It looks a little pink…" You touch below it making him pause. "You're straining your eyes again aren't you?" You frown.

            "I can't hide anything from you." He chuckles sheepishly. "But I promise it was for something serious." He adds when you frown more. "I'm fine ___.”

            "Okay… But I want you to take a break from your quirk." You grumble as he cups your cheek. 

            "Of course. Whatever you want." He smiles widely, Eskimo kissing you. "I missed you so much. Let's go eat." He adds leading the way after taking your hand.

            You both find a place to eat and you tell him about how your night went after you got off the phone with him. He hums lightly once you finish, reaching over to rub your cheek since you were forcing the tears back. 

            "Sounds like a rough night, but it ended well… I'm glad you didn't disappear." He breathes softly. 

           "I really thought that was it. And I wasn't even scared… Just angry because that guy was still alive…." You look at your right hand. "Midnight saved me again. And we didn't even know he was there." You drop your arm and lean forward, frowning lightly as you meet his gaze.

          "You're really worried…" He acknowledges frowning as well.

          "Tendo I wanted to kill that guy and destroy everything that kept threatening us…" You whisper, looking down. "I think it's starting to happen…" 

          "Don't make that face…" He cups your face looking sad. "___, I promised. I'm not going to let that happen. You just focus on your friends, don't worry about the rest." 

          "But Tendo-"

          "I know…" He rubs his thumbs against your cheeks. "But if you're really worried then… Why not quit trying to be a hero?" His question came out like a whisper, making you pause.

           "I… I don't want to…" You look down. 

           "I'm not telling you to, it was just a suggestion." He assures. "Come on. You need a nap, let's go to my room." He adds getting up.

           "But… My phone…" You breathe.

           "I'll get it while you sleep." He assures.

           "You're not napping with me?" You pout and he shifts looking away.

           "Well if you're going to pull that look I will…" He murmurs before offering you his hand. "Let's go." He says before leading you out and sneaking you into the dorms at Kuri. "Oh, how's Wakatoshi doing?"

           "He's good, we had to kinda carry him off the bus because he fell asleep and nothing was waking him up. Not surprised though, apparently he caught everyone as they fell from the ceiling." You smile a bit. "He's sweet now that I've gotten to know him."

           "He can be." Tendo smiles watching you thoughtfully. You both enter his room and he locks the door as you take off your hoodie. "Hm? That's not your style." He comments, looking at Daishou's shirt.

            "Oh right, I forgot to give this back… He let me borrow it since the ghosts tore up my shirt when they dragged me away from everyone… I was so cold when we got back I just threw on a hoodie over it." You tell him.

           "Is your back okay?" He comes over, lifting the back of it, fingers trailing the scrapes with a frown, making you shiver slightly. He pauses, glancing at you briefly. "You should shower here, I'll apply some medicine over your back after." He tells you softly, putting the shirt down. "I'll lend you some of my clothes."

          "Yeah. Okay." You nod going to do so. Tendo sighs quietly, smacking his cheeks a few times.

         "Go away dirty thoughts. Behave Satori." He scolds quietly before messaging Death since the other was busy disposing of the screens and computers linked to the cameras at the camp. 'I just need to focus and not let myself get distracted…' His face goes blank briefly, blushing lightly. He smacks his cheek again and groans. "I can't do this…" 

         You finish washing up and dry off, trying to look at your back in the mirror, it had been scraped up badly, bruises marking here and there. 'Damn that hurts.' You think before peeking the door open to collect the clothes Tendo had left you. You put them on, keeping your back exposed as you go out. Tendo smiles with a head tilt, patting on the bed in front of him. You chuckle and move to do so.

          "It's a good thing you've built some muscle up, or else this could've been a lot worse." He hums as he rubs the medicine on, making you tense slightly. He blinks at that, leaning forward and peeking at your face. "You okay?"

          "Yeah, it's kinda cold." You smile sheepishly.

          "Sorry, not much I can do about that one." He breathes, applying more steadily. He swallows slightly, fingertips pressing against your skin lightly, steadily reaching for your sides. You stiffen as his breath dances against your neck, making you peer back to meet his half lidded gaze. 

          "A-Are you okay Tendo?' You ask carefully, starting to blush. He hums, leaning forward more and kissing you softly. 

          "I told you we should probably stay away from each other for a while…" He murmurs, forehead pressing against your temple. "Everytime I get close to you now I find it hard to keep from loving you as much as I want to." He kisses your jaw, hands coming around to your stomach. "It's kinda mean cause I know you'll pull away soon, but I really can't help myself." He kisses your neck now. "I get drunk just kissing your skin." He kisses your shoulder. "Stop me."

           "O-okay." You turn to him, pulling the shirt on the rest of the way. You meet his gaze, opening your mouth to tell him to stop, but the words don't come out. He blinks at you, brows knitting together. 

          "I-I mean it ___." He warns leaning forward. You shift and put a finger to his lips.

          "Okay Tendo. Time to stop." You manage before rubbing your cheeks. "Ugh what did you do to me?"

          "What you keep doing to me." He sighs. He relaxes and sits back looking at the ceiling. "___… I don't think we can keep being friends at this point..." He murmurs, making your heart sink.

         "Tendo…" 

         "This isn't your fault. It's mine. I can't keep restraining myself like this and I don't want to scare you or anything." He tells you, meeting your hurt gaze and frowning. "I love you more than anything. I don't want to hurt you by pushing myself on you." 

          "Isn't there anything else we can do..?" You whisper. 

          "Not anything that won't end poorly. We can still talk and you can call me anytime. I'll be there if you need me. But… We can't keep hanging out." He gets up, rubbing his neck, well, more like clawing. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry ___…” 

          "Tendo, please…" You get up, touching his back. Before you realized he had moved he had you pinned on the bed. 

          "Don't fight me on this ___. Please." He breathes, looking down at you hungrily. "I'm doing this for you." He leans down more as tears come to your eyes. He pauses, looking into them before kissing you deeply, hands tightening around your wrist  as his tongue slips past your lips, circling yours slowly, as he presses into you. He pulls back after a moment. "I'm in love with you. I don't want to keep being your friend. I want so much more." He says, letting you go before going out the room. You sit up, covering your mouth and watching the door, tears threatening your eyes. 

           "I'm sorry Tendo…" You sniff looking down. After a few moments the door cracks open and Shirabu eases in. 

           "Tendo asked me to walk you back to your dorm…" He shifts awkwardly, looking over you briefly. "Um… You okay?" 

            "... Yeah." You get up, collecting your clothes in the hoodie. You go out, holding the bundle to your chest. Shirabu rubs his cheek, glancing at you a few times. 

           "So… How have you been?" He asks as you go outside. 

           "Alright… We camp back from a camping trip this morning." You murmur keeping your eyes down. "... It was short because some guy tried to kill us to make us part of his undead army… So, you know…. Alright." Shirabu blinks at you in slight horror at that.

          "Oh… That's…" He tilts his head and awkwardly pats your back. "Glad that didn't work out for him."

          "Yeah… Me too. I hated him. And I didn't even know him." You breathe not looking up. "Sorry… I don't really feel like myself right now…"

          "I can tell…" He rubs his neck again. You just hum in response and eventually you reach the dorms. "I… Hope you feel better soon." 

          "... Take care Shirabu." You send him an attempt at a smile. He frowns at that and you head inside. 

          "Hey ___! We were about to…. What's wrong?" Nishinoya stops, blinking at you in concern. 

          "I'm just tired. Don't mind me." You assure going upstairs. You go into your room, feeling relieved to find it empty. You put the clothes in the basket before looking at the bed and going to your closet, opening it and pulling your extra blankets and pillows down to the floor of your closet before getting in and curling up on the mass, closing the door from the bottom. Darkness freeing your tears and hiding your sobs.

*+*+*+*

       "Hey boss. How did it go?" Rakurai asks as Tendo comes in. 

       "I just broke my best friend's heart…" His shoulders slump as he takes off his hoodie and tosses it away. "So…. Not good." He answers, starting to equip his suit. Death and Rakurai share a surprised glance. "It's for the best really… I really got close this last time. Didn't want to stop." 

       "Ah… You okay boss..?" Death frowns.

       "Nope. Not at all. I'm going to kill a bunch of people until I feel better. Send me those villain hideouts would you?" Tendo hums. 

        "Of course boss. Should I come along?" Death inquires.

        "No. If I end up blacking out, I don't want to hurt you Kobalt… Rakurai I want you to go over the footage one more time, we'll be switching you tomorrow. Kobalt, I want one of the others to lose their memories as well. As long as ___'s busy trying to get memories back, the less worried about me ___ will be." Tendo finishes getting ready and grabs the helmet. "And let me say this now Rakurai. You better protect ___ if there's danger. Or I will kill you." 

         "U-Understood." Rakurai pales slightly. Tendo nods with a hum, putting on his helmet and turning on the robot voice.

         "Don't be surprised if I don't come back tonight." He states going out. They stare at the door in alarm.

         "Things are going to start changing now…" Death frowns.

         "... Yeah… I get that…" Rakurai manages. "Think I'll go check on ___ now."

         "Huh? Lad that's a poor idea…" Death huffs.

         "Well, the boss said a break down was coming. This might trigger it. Best to make sure ___ doesn't head off alone in the middle of the night." Rakurai straightens. "Don't worry, I won't get caught." He adds, grabbing the contacts. 

_-_-_-_-_-_

         "So… ___ is in their closet." Kenma murmurs to Kiyoomi, making him pause. 

          "How long?" Kiyoomi gets up.

          "About an hour now, ___ seemed to be crying at first, and now they're asleep." Kenma informs.

         "Why didn't you say something sooner?" Kiyoomi frowns.

           "Figured the reason they were in the closet was to be alone." He responds frowning as well. "I thought you said ___ went to see Tendo. So why…"

           "I don't know." Kiyoomi responds before going upstairs and into your room, the foxes curled up in front of the closet. He frowns, going over and pulling on his gloves to move them to the bed before going to the closet and opening the door and kneeling down. He touches your arm and your eyes open slowly, looking bloodshot. You meet his concerned gaze and turn away from him.

           "I'm just tired." You whisper. He frowns and crawls in behind you, closing the door again before wrapping his arms around your waist. "... He said he was in love with me and didn't want to be friends anymore." You scratch at the wall. "Said it wasn't my fault. But… How isn't that my fault…?" You tear up. "I did something wrong right? I must have…" 

           His arms tighten around you at that. Of course he didn't know what to say. The door opens up and Bokuto peers at your face. "Aww… Babe." He frowns, taking you away from Kiyoomi and sitting on the floor with you on his lap. He strokes your cheek and Kiyoomi sits up, sending Bokuto an annoyed look. "You wanna go for a flight? I'll take you somewhere pretty." He kisses your cheek.

          "Wait. Just let ___ nap with us." Atsumu says from the bed.

          "Let us cuddle ___.” Osamu agrees nodding.

          "___! I brought you ice cream!" Nishinoya declares, coming in with a tub and spoon.

          "I brought movies, mostly comedy. And if you want, two alien document-"

          "No." Iwaizumi smacks Oikawa as they enter.

          "Ow Iwa-chan…" Oikawa pouts before giving you a smile. "Come on, let's all watch together. It'll be okay ___.” 

          ".... Okay." You nod as everyone soon piles into the room.

         You eventually end up being at the center of your bed surrounded by everyone. All of them are now asleep. You shift, carefully moving out from Bokuto's arms and sneaking out of the room, heading upstairs and to the roof. 

        A heavy sigh leaves you and you rub your face, feeling guilty that their attempts to cheer you up had little effect. You cover your face, sinking to your knees and wanting to cry again. A touch on your back makes you pause and look back as Oikawa offers a soft frown. 

        "I… Sorry, I hope I didn't wake you." You manage, rubbing your eyes and standing up as he sits back on the ledge. 

        "You didn't. You were so silent I don't think anyone noticed, I just got up to use the bathroom and didn't see you... Figured you would be somewhere alone." He rubs his neck. "I brought my jacket up," He adds, putting it around you. 

         "Thanks…" You breathe. 

         "... You know, a girl once broke up with me because I couldn't give her the attention she wanted. I didn't realize why she broke up with me at first. I did blame myself, but it wasn't something I could've given her at the time." He rubs his neck, "I can now but I'm not interested anymore, and neither is she." 

         "... Oikawa, that was probably a month long relationship… Ever since I was seven, Tendo was all I had. I've never gone longer than a week without seeing him… And he just… Left." Your voice becomes a whisper, tears rushing your eyes as they look down. "Maybe I could've done something to avoid this…" You wipe at your eyes. His eyes soften, watching you. 

        "___… You can't avoid love." He breathes, before pulling you over to sit back against him, resting his chin on your shoulder, wiping your cheeks. "Look at the stars." He tips your chin to look up.  "They shine so beautifully in the darkness…. Do you know which one you are?" He peeks at your face.

         "... Which one?" You murmur.

         "The sun." You pause and deadpan at him. "Now hear me out." He chuckles poking your nose. "I say that because when you're happy, your smile is blinding. And some days you're hot as hell. And when it's cold, I find myself wishing for your warmth…" He breathes smiling at you softly. "And the planets are like everyone at this dorm surrounding you with love and going through space with you." He touches your cheek, thumb grazing over it. "Then Tendo's the asteroid belt throwing love right into you… If he throws something too big it might hurt you too much. So he's hiding amongst the others until you're ready."

            "... Will he come back?" You whisper.

            "There's not a doubt in my mind he will… He's just trying not to avoid doing something you're nowhere near ready for." He breathes. You stare into each other's eyes for a bit before you kiss his cheek and hug his neck. 

             "Thank you… I feel better now…" You breathe, nuzzling his neck. He blinks and smiles softly, standing up and hugging you warmly.

             "Then my work here is done." He pulls back to hold your face between his hands. "Your eyes really do reflect the stars so nicely." He breathes, pecking your nose making you feel a slight spark. "I'm going to head back down now, try not to stay out here too long." He adds before heading back inside. You smile at the door, touching your nose before looking toward the sky thoughtfully. 

            After a bit, you head back downstairs to the second floor, pausing when you find Kuroo leaning out the open window. "What are you doing?" You ask quietly, making him jump. 

            "I uh… Was looking at the fireflies in the yard…" He says looking over and shifting slightly when you join him, watching the fireflies below. 

            "Aw… They're so cute… I love fireflies." You smile softly, making him pause in surprise. 

            "You're feeling better." He comments.

            "Yeah. Oikawa cheered me up a bit." You nod. He blinks and looks back toward the room with a hum.

             "Well, I'm glad to hear that." He sighs lightly with a smile. You nod, reaching over and letting your fingers comb his hair. Kuroo freezes, watching you carefully as he starts to blush.

            "Your hair is so cute…" You smile.

            "... Yeah?" He asks, scratching his cheek. 

            "Mhm. You're cute senpai. Sleep well." You chuckle lightly before going into your room and crawling over the mass and back into Bokuto's arms, steadily falling asleep.
