"Oh. I see her!" You whisper to Daishou as you reach the meetup spot. Mika pauses, looking over before lighting up. 

          "___!!!” She cries out, crashing into you so hard you fall back but Daishou swiftly catches you with an amused chuckle. 

          "Easy Mika." He breathes lightly as she covers your cheek with kisses. 

          "Sorry! Got excited." She giggles pulling away so you can regain your balance.

          "Sh-She's trying to kill me again." You whisper covering your blushing face. 

          "Hm? You seem fine to me." Daishou hums in amusement.

          "Your tail sure has been expressive lately." Mika snickers at him, making him blush and hide his tail again. 

          "Gah… It keeps coming out on it's own." He grumbles.

          "Aww how cute." Mika teases, eyes glimmering with mischief.

          'Ah… That feels familiar…' You and Daishou think. 

          "Ahem… Anyway, let's get going." Daishou rumbles, taking the lead as Mika hugs your arm.

          "How long are you staying?" She asks.

          "I'm going to be here a day or two… Everything with the enemy has been cleared up." You tell her, phasing out briefly. She blinks watching your eyes become distant. 

         "Something bad happened huh? That's why you came over here." She guesses softly.

         "Kinda. I did promise you… And I feel normal here." You look at Daishou's back. She hums, fingers lacing with yours. 

          "Stay as long as you want. We could even have a sleepover." She smiles up at you. 

          "Ah… Sure that sounds fun actually." You grin. "Never slept over at a girl's house before…" 

          "Oh? Well now I can't wait." She giggles excitedly before pausing as a pink glow catches both of your attention. "Oh…" 

          "Whoa. It's like a candy dream." You whisper as Daishou slows his pace, reaching the sweets shop. 

          "Oh cool, looks like we sit and order something on one side and browse the aisles on the other." Daishou smiles.

          "We're going in right?" Mika bounces excitedly. 

          "Mhm. This way." Daishou guides you both in, his tail wrapping around both of yours and Mika's wrists since they were clasped together.  You browse through the little aisles, peering at the displays and picking out somethings along the way and paying for them. 

         "What a cute little shop. Did you see the bunny cakes?" Mika comments as you all sit together.

         "They were too cute... How can someone eat those?" You murmur, then look at Daishou as he pauses, about to eat one.

          "What? I want to see what they taste like." He huffs taking a bite and looking away. 

          "Hopes and dreams probably." You pout. 

          "Monster." Mika shakes her head.

          "Strawberries! They taste like strawberries and cream." Daishou says in his defense. That did sound good. Daishou catches you licking your lips and smirks, tail wrapping around your leg and pulling you and your seat closer.

          "Take a bite of the bunny." He breathes, putting it to your lips. 

          "That's so mean." Mika gasps as you hesitate.

          "Come on. I promise it tastes good." Daishou purrs, tail tightening around your leg slightly. What a sadist…

           You hesitantly take a bite and hum. "Damn… It does taste good." You sigh as he releases your leg seeming satisfied. 

          "How about you Mika? Want to eat the bunny?" He hums. 

          "No way. It's too cute." She shakes her head covering her mouth.

          "Fine. More for us." Daishou sends you a smile.

          "Just had to pull me down too huh?" You deadpan. 

          "Yep. We're partners." He smiles, tail swishing behind him in amusement.

          "Here ___, try this snake gummy." Mika hums mischievously. Daishou pauses blinking as you take a bite out of it.

          "Mm." You lick your lips.

          "Now who are the monsters?" Daishou scoffs.

          "You made me do this." You point at him.

          "No I didn't. She already bought them, she planned it." He defends looking at Mika pointedly. She just snickers biting into another gummy.

           "Devil." Daishou frowns. "I can feel that in my scales you know." 

           "Yummy." She giggles making you both smile a bit

           "Don't eat it all… Let's sneak this stuff into the theater and watch a movie." Daishou tells you both.

           "Alright." You smile. 

           "Yes!!" Mika bounces up. "There's that new horror movie I've been wanting to see!"

           "Horror…" You and Daishou echo in surprise.

           "Yeah. I don't just like cute things you know?" She giggles. That mischievous glint was back in her eye, making you and Daishou share a glance. 

            "Alright. Let's go. I wanna see your scared face now." You smile, making her blush lightly.

           "I wouldn't mind seeing yours." She murmurs. You blush now and Daishou puts a hand over his face.

            "I saw it coming, but you're both still too cute sometimes…" He says getting up. "Let's go then." He gives a soft smile. 

           "Right." 

           You pack up and all head out again, Daishou taking the lead for the grand theater. You went to some with Tendo before, but not to the Nohebi theater. This one was big, luxurious even. You enter with the pair, finding the inside just as nice. 

            'I gotta bring Tendo here.' You think in awe. Daishou's tail wraps around your arm, pulling you along and making you blink back as Mika peeks back at you. 

        "You're so awestruck." She comments.

        "I've never been to one this nice before!" You blush lightly. 

        "We can tell. No worries. It's cute." Daishou chuckles. He pays for the tickets before leading the way to one of the viewing rooms and going in.

         "Not many people are here yet. Go pick where you want to sit." Daishou tells her. Mika hums peering about, before grabbing your hand and going to where she wants to sit she makes you sit, then has Daishou take the seat to the right of you, and Mika sits on your left. 

          "Feel free to cuddle up if you get scared." She snickers.

          "... Didn't we give you what you wanted?" You ask her.

          "You did. But then time got reversed so it doesn't count now." She smiles.

          "How stubborn." Daishou chuckles. 

          "Plus I need some inspiration for more paintings." She beams. 

          "So we're muses…" Daishou comments. 

          "Seems so." You smile.

          "Movie's starting." Mika leans on you happily.

          It was a suspense thriller, making you steadily shrink back in your seat. Mika holds onto your arm, eyes sparkling as she watches the screen uneasily. You glance at Daishou, his face hidden by his hand as he leans on the armrest between you trying to seem casual. 

         'Oh? Is he scared?' Curiosity makes you peek past his hand, eyes locking with his instantly. He lowers his hand, not looking away from your eyes. He leans in toward you, making you pause. He smirks and flicks his forked tongue, causing you to deadpan and blush. He snickers quietly and sits back, taking your hand as he watches the movie again. 

          You sit back, smiling slightly, pausing as Mika giggles quietly, peering at you. You blush lightly and put a kiss on the back of her hand in response. She smiles and snuggles up to you all of you tensing when a scream rips through the theater from the movie.

           "Hehehe! Your faces were so cute from that scream!" Mika teases you and Daishou as you leave the theater. 

           "I thought my heart was gonna pop." You puff your cheeks.

           "I thought a villain got in…" Daishou puts a hand over his face.

          "Such heroic instincts." You laugh while Mika giggles at that. 

          "Hehe that's Daishou for you. Always ready to jump into action." Mika muses.

         "Right? That's why he's so awesome. If I get into some sort of trouble he's instantly there to have my back." You grin. 

         "Yeah then when he gets serious he gets all intimidating and scaly!" Mika bounces.

         "Right! And his eyes kinda glow and you just can't look away!" You beam. You both pause and look back to find Daishou had stopped to cover his face.

         "Aww… Guess he got embarrassed that we started fangirling over him." Mika giggles.

         "Yeah we should really save that for our sleepover." You joke as you both approach him. He drops his hands, frowning with a blush.

         "Always ganging up on me." He grumbles. 

         "Right." Mika hums mischievously.

         "Left." You respond, both of you kissing his cheeks, making him turn completely red. 

         "Right again." Mika snickers.

         "Left again." You smirk. But this time Mika turns his head into your kiss, making your lips meet his. You and Daishou freeze as she giggles like a goblin backing up after taking a picture. 

         "Yesss!!!” She cackles. 

         "Unbelievable… Using our thing to make us kiss." You shake your head in amazement, blushing heavily. 

         "Mhm." Daishou puts a hand over his mouth still blushing. "We gotta get her back for this." 

         "Nope. Because that's my building there and I'm going home!" Mika laughs running away.

         "So fast." You blink in surprise. You and Daishou awkwardly glance at each other. "Sorry. I didn't know she was going to do that." You rub your neck. He drops his hand and chuckles. 

         "It's nothing that hasn't happened already." He responds, taking your hand and leading you back for Snake Den. "Did you have fun?"

         "Of course. The time I spend with you two is always so much fun." You chuckle leaning on him. He smiles more at that, peering down thoughtfully. 

         "You know… If things stay weird for you at Raizu you're always welcome to Nohebi." He says lightly, bringing your knuckle to his lips as he meets your gaze. "I'll take care of you." He breathes. Before you can respond your phone starts to go off. You look at it to find Bokuto trying to video call you. Daishou peers at it too. "Think they heard me?" He huffs. "Go ahead and answer it."

           "Hello Bokuto." You answer finding him pouting slightly.

           "I'm sorry ____. I should've never doubted you." He frowns lightly. 

          "We're sorry." Kuroo peeks in too, along with a few others that haven't said a word to you since everything.

          "Ah… That's okay guys. Don't look so sad." You frown. 

          "You're coming back right? I miss you so much." Bokuto pouts more.

          "Same. Tobi misses you too." Kenma holds up the kitten.

          "You have to come back for your cat right?" Kuroo breathes.

          "When did you get a cat?" Daishou peers at the screen. 

          "Like… Two days ago I think?" You murmur.

          "Alright. We can do a pet room." He nods.

         "Oi, Daishou, thanks for taking care of my kohai. I hope you're not trying to sway ___ to come to your school or anything." Kuroo rumbles, making you both pause.

         "They hesitated! He totally was!" Bokuto gasps. "Listen ___! You're ours! You belong to Raizu! Don't leave!... Please?" 

        "I…" You felt unsure.

        "Of course ____ isn't leaving, you noisy owl." Daishou says bluntly, surprising you. He gives your hand a slight squeeze. "But make no mistake, the second you outcast ___ again I'll snatch them up and keep ___ all to myself." He smirks, baring his fangs to solidify his decree. 

         "Snake!"

         "Fiend!"

         They start to voice their objections at that, making him chuckle before leaning over and kissing your cheek. This causes any uproar and now the rest of the dorm is getting on camera as you blush heavily.

         "What? What's going on? Hey ___!” Oikawa waves happily. "I miss you! Are you having fun!?"

         "Hey Oikawa. I'm alright." You chuckle.

         "What are you guys up to?" Iwaizumi inquires.

          "Wouldn't you like to know." Daishou smirks again.

          "Stop provoking them." You whisper with a chuckle.

          "Kuroo started it." He huffs. 

          "What did I do???" Kuroo objects unhappily.

         "You know." Daishou responds. "Anyway we're almost back so say bye ___.” 

         "Bye guys." You wave.

         "Bye. Come home soon." They say before hanging up. 

          "... That timing was uncanny…" He grumbles. 

         "It was… but you gave the answer for me." You murmur peering at him. He meets your gaze, and smiles.

         "What's a few years? We'll be partners even if you don't come to Nohebi. I was just speaking selfishly there," He admits, and looks up at Snake Den. "I just feel so motivated when you're here."

         "Daishou it's late. Let's work on the next project tomorrow." You nudge him.

         "I know…. You caught me right when I thought that." He chuckles leading the way in. "I've made it so this place is more secure now. Once I power up the generator you'll be able to take a shower without worrying about anything else." His tongue flicks out as he peers about before latching the door shut. 

          "Nice. Not that I was worried though. I have a protective boss after all." You hum following him to the generator as he gets it started, the lights coming on. 

         "Damn straight. But this is way less… Awkward, so don't forget anything alright." He points at you.

          "Yes boss." You chuckle. 

          After you shower and get dressed you head back up and go into his room, which now had a television and dresser. He looks over from the television. 

          "Look at this shit. Midnight just struck one of the HQ branch agencies over near Raizu." He points at the television. You blink swiftly joining him as the reporters show the flaming building, Midnight appearing on top of it with an HQ flag. Standing for a few moments before raising an arm to the flag, a barrel of a gun sticking out of his arm brace and spewing flames onto the flag.

          'Tendo? What are you doing?' You pale slightly in wonder. Damn he looked cool right now. 

          "That's a very clear declaration of war… He's calling out HQ… Wonder what they did to piss him off." Daishou breathes with an uneasy smile. 

          "Yeah. Me too." You murmur, leaning forward, fingers hiding the wary frown on your lips. The television glitches and the agency is suddenly normal again with no sign of Midnight. 

          "What the fuck…" Daishou gasps as his television shuts off. He turns it back on the reporters seeming very confused as to what just happened. 

           "He reset time…. But we weren't affected." You whisper in surprise.

           "You fought him before, right? Can't he just reset things he wants to?" He points out. 

           "That's true. Resetting that whole area probably messed up the electronics." You nod. "He's really amazing… But that was clearly a warning to HQ… I got a bad feeling now." You frown. 

           "I think everyone does… Still, for a villain he is pretty cool." Daishou tilts his head. 

          "Yeah… I didn't want to say it out loud though." You breathe. He shuts off the television and turns to you. 

         "Let's not worry about that now. It's time for bed and you have enough on your plate." He pokes your nose. 

         "Right. Let's go to sleep." You nod. You crawl in and move under the covers. 

         "I'll be back after my shower." He says before heading out. You frown once he's gone, messaging Death briefly before curling up to try to sleep, only being successful when Daishou returns after his shower, getting into bed and pulling you close to him. 

°~°~°~°~°

       "___ saw it. Wants to know what's up." Death tells Tendo as he cleans off his face. 

       "I feel like monologuing my response. You can summarize it after I'm done." Tendo straightens, drying off his face.

        "Oh! Boss monologue!" Rakurai chuckles excitedly. Tendo sends them a smile, cocking his head for them to follow him to the rooftop. 

        "Since ___ desires to be a hero so much I'll try to support it. However, right now there are too many above them that will just use ___'s quirk for their own gain. And no one is allowed to use my dearest friend. So what I need to do is simple." Tendo reaches the rooftop, going over and hopping onto the ledge to watch the fires in the distance, his eyes reflecting the glow. He spreads his arms out with a smile. "It's time for a complete reform." He chuckles. "So let those HQ agencies burn to the ground! Hear my howl you greedy bastards!"

          "The news teams are getting their minds back." Rakurai says looking over the ledge.

         "Let's reset them again and leave. This way it'll show how useless those agencies are. Being taken out without the rest noticing." Tendo breathes.

         "They all rely on the news too much if they can't notice the fires outside." Death hums as they start down again, resetting the news building.
