"... Oh great now we're dealing with assassins." Oikawa chuckles, clutching your hand tightly.

           "C-Calm down Dorm President." You manage.

           "How can I keep calm? Your brother's an assassin. And we don't know what Midnight wants to use you for!" He groans. Yeah, you kept out that part.

           "Let's just focus on what we need to deal with now." You pat his head. 

           "So. We probably won't get attacked again? Since the target is a prince?" Nishinoya clarifies.

           "Probably not unless the prince somehow ends up in our care." You tell him.

          "... But…" Nishinoya shifts closer leaning up near your ear. "Yaku's really cool, can we have him stay?" He whispers.

         "Yeah. Even though it's not likely now. I'm still worried about being attacked." You point out.

         "Um… Takeda sensei is here." Kenma murmurs, petting Tobi.

         "Oh… We might get into trouble." You breathe.

         "We'll hide them, you guys go talk." Kuroo pushes you and Oikawa into the lobby.

         You and Oikawa blink and look at each other as Takeda enters. "H-Hello Sensei." You both greet.

          "Hello. We um… Have a mission for Dorm One…" He smiles lightly, seeming nervous. "The visiting Prince has requested your services."

          ".... Eh?" You and Oikawa tilt your heads in disbelief.

          "A bus will be here soon to pick everyone up. Get ready. And be careful and safe." He requests.

           "S-Sure." You wave as he goes back out. 'I didn't have to do anything…' You think in amazement. 

         "So… think they'll notice if we have two extra people?" Oikawa murmurs.

          "If we use Kenma's quirk they won't." You respond. "What about Tobi though?" 

          "Iwa-chan and I know a middle schooler that can take care of him." He assures. "I'll have Iwa-chan contact him now." He adds walking into the living room.

          "Guess I should let them know…" You mutter texting Death. 

          "What!?" The gasps sound in the living room.

          "Let's become the prince's best friends! He could buy us anything!" Atsumu gasps Osamu as they leave the lobby.

          "How shallow." You tease him.

         "What? Me? No." He huffs looking away. "But He got money to spare so he should give some to charity… Like me. I'm a charity."

          "I wish we didn't share the same face so I can pretend I don't know you." Osamu deadpans.

          "Shut it! I'm pretty sure you were just thinking of opening some food stands." Atsumu retorts.

           "Shut up!" Osamu snaps and they both start to fight.

           "Guys. I was just teasing, don't fight." You tell them patting their head before pulling their hoodies over their eyes. "So stop foxing around and get ready." You whisper. 

           "Yesss!" Atsumu cheers happily hugging you tightly. Fox tail coming out and wagging.

           "Get away from ___ your awful jokes are wearing off." Kiyoomi huffs. 

           "Haha it wasn't that bad." You chuckle.

           "Oh no… You're becoming immune." He breathes pulling you away from the twins. "Vermin." He huffs to them.

           "You know. I just thought 9f something you would absolutely hate." Atsumu smiles devilishly. "Next time you call me that, I'm going to lick you. On. Your. Face."

           ".... Do you have a death wish?" Kiyoomi frowns heavily but also seems concerned.

          "Nope. I know the differences in the scent of your sweat by now. I'll be fine. But you might just kill over with disgust." Atsumu sticks out his tongue smuggly. Kiyoomi leans away from him at that, eyes narrowing at him.

            "Fine." He breathes. "Come on ___.” He adds, guiding you upstairs. 

           "What's up?" You ask him 

           "Since things are moving to that point now. I want to equip your suit with something. Go get it on and come to my room." He requests as you both reach the second floor. 

           "Right." You nod before going to your room and taking your suit to the bathroom to change into it. When you come back out you find Kenma putting Tobi in his bed. "Heh. You really like having the kitten around huh?" You comment, kneeling beside him to pet the sleepy kitten.

           "Yeah… He's cute how he always looks mad." He smiles before standing up with you. "Hey ___.” You blink and meet Kenma's eyes as he tilts his head, "I know you're worried. But everyone here is strong. I believe in them, and you… So when it's time to fight the boss… Don't forget that you're more than just a tank." 

          "Right." You relax and hug him. "I believe in you too Kenma. You see everything that needs to be done. I'm glad you're watching over us." 

         "Heh. You make me sound like some kind of angel." He mutters when you pull away. 

         "Oh that would be a cute hero name. 'Guardian Angel'." You light up.

         "No. That's so flashy." He chuckles steering you out. 

         "And then when you enter battle I can do that OooOoOOhhhH~." 

         "Oh no please stop." 

         "OOOoOoooHhhhHhH~!"

         "And I'll pretend like I don't hear you."

         "Well yeah that's what you're supposed to do when you have a chorus in the background… Wonder if the others would join in…" 

         "... ___! Stop…" He laughs in embarrassment hiding his face against your back. You smile and pat his head with a chuckle.

         "Alright alright. I'll think of another name then. Go get ready." You tell him before going to Kiyoomi's room and knocking. 

          "Come in." He responds and you do, closing the door behind you. "Alright, let's get you upgraded." He hums.

          "Oh. Am I a robot now?" You smile. "Can I start talking like Midnight?" You joke as he straps a device to your shoulder. He pauses blinking at you before chuckling.

          "Well… If you're any good at it." He says thoughtfully.

          "Okay let me try… 'I will change the fate.' 'Join me Kiyoomi come to the dark side. We have cookies that Death baked.'." Kiyoomi starts to laugh lightly at that.

          "You're awful at that." He rumbles.

          "Really? Thanks for the honesty… But it made you laugh so maybe the twins will get a kick out of it too." You tilt your head thoughtfully. "Kiyoomi. Have I ever told you how amazing your smile is? Like… When you first smiled at me I thought you were an angel and I was on my way to heaven." 

          He blushes and covers his face. "Do you sit in your room thinking of cheesy things to say to me??"

         "No. I've been thinking that for a long time now." You chuckle grinning. "You're so cute when you get embarrassed."

         He sends you a half hearted glare from behind his fingers. "You're the worst."

        "I am about to get a lot worse." You acknowledge. "Kiss me Kiyoomi." You breathe. He pauses before quickly obeying, cupping your face as he captures your lips with a light blush. You kiss him back hugging him close as you deepen the kiss. His fangs graze your bottom lip making a shiver go through you before you pull away. 

        "You okay?" He breathes forehead touching yours.

        "Mhm. I'm just hungry all of a sudden." You manage lightly. Hadn't realized how starved for his touch you were until now. You lean your head on his shoulder and close your eyes to drink in his scent and warmth. "We should hurry. You're not suited up yet."

        "Right." He breathes as you pull away, quickly equipping you with a belt lined with canisters. 

         "Thanks by the way, you really didn't have to." You smile softly.

        "Don't thank me. This is just me making sure you're protected." He responds straightening up. "That's voice activated. Just say 'blank range' and…" The device on your shoulder releases a spray of paralysis toxins. "Can use that for five times before changing the canister." 

        "Wow… You made this!?" You gasp in awe.

        "Akaashi and I collaborated on it." He smiles lightly. "It was kind of fun…"

        "Aww. I'll have to thank him too." You kiss his cheek. "Thank you for worrying about me."

        "That's all I do it seems." He sighs lightly.

        "Heh. Sorry then. Must be stressful." You rub your neck. 

        "It can be. But seeing you smiling usually helps." He lifts the corners of your lips with his index fingers. You give a smile at that, chuckling slightly. "Yep. Worth all the stress." He pecks your nose. "Now get out I need to change." 

         "I wanna watch." You joke and he turns bright red at that suddenly picking you up and carrying you out. 

         "Bokuto! ___ misses you!" He calls and the second year suddenly appears in the hall, swiftly taking you from Kiyoomi. You gap at him and he shakes his head at you in disapproval. "And ___ wants tickles." He smirks before going into his room.

         "Tr-Traitor! Bahahahah! B-Bokuto stop! Hahah!" You laugh, wiggling in his arms as he kisses your cheek happily. 

         "I miss you too my beautiful sunshine love!" He gushes happily, taking you downstairs.

         "You're so sweet." You mush his face. "Ready to go meet a prince?" 

         "Mm. Dunno, usually princes are jerks right?" He tilts his head. "But if he's cool that would be nice." 

         "My thoughts exactly." You nod.

         "Oh! Are we carrying ___ around? My turn." Oikawa steals you away once Bokuto reaches the lobby.

          "Oi." Bokuto puffs his cheeks while Oikawa cuddles his cheek against your head. 

          "Oikawa… You silly guy, put me down." You chuckle. He pouts but does so. 

          "Everyone ready?" Iwaizumi asks, coming into the lobby.

          "Almost." You breathe peering up the stairs. "Wonder what the prince wants…" 

          "Probably us to be bodyguards." Akaashi comments.

          "Yeah. You guys were pretty amazing when everything happened." You smile at him and he pauses, scoffing.

          "You were doing more than us." He breathes.

          "Not really…" You shake your head and look ahead, phasing out. "I was just doing the minimal… I could've gotten us all burst." Your eyes narrow slightly. 

          "And here we are. Because you were able to stop him and think of a way to dodge that whole situation." Kiyoomi says coming downstairs and tilting your head back to meet his gaze. "So thank you ___, sorry we couldn't help you on that end."

           "Ah… But." You frown and he pinches your cheek, eyes narrowing. "Ow… Okay… Thank you for doing what I couldn't."

           "That's better." Akaashi nods.

           "Someone's here." Kenma alerts.

           "Must be Tobi's sitter." Oikawa opens the door to reveal a familiar face. 

           "Ah… Shadow quirk!" You gasp. "It's been a long time." You grin.

           "Good to see you doing well after everything." Yaku greets as well. 

           "Hello again, thank you for saving me before." The raven haired guy gives a bow. 

           "This is Tobio Kageyama, he's my kohai from middle school." Oikawa informs, roughly ruffling Kageyama's hair. "You take good care of our Tobi, okay?" 

          "Ow… Yes." Kageyama responds.

          "Oikawa don't be so rough with him." You scold him.

          "Oops." Oikawa lifts his hand so Kageyama can straighten up, seeming to fix you with a stern gaze.

          "Um… Something wrong?" You ask. 

         "No… Where's the cat?" He inquires, dropping his gaze. 

         "I'll show you, we have a place set up for him." You beckon him to follow you up the stairs and to your room, pausing when you find Ushijima petting the kitten quietly. "Wakatoshi, his sitter's here, you can leave his side now." You smile in amusement.

           "Ah… Okay…" Ushijima stands up, looking at Kageyama. "Please take good care of him." He gives Kageyama a slight bow.

          "Y-Yes." Kageyama bows back and Ushijima walks out.

          "We're all really attached to him. But I'm not worried." You pat his head, making his cheeks dust with pink. "Take care of yourself too. See you later." You hum heading out and back downstairs.

           "Just in time. The bus has arrived." Kiyoomi holds out his hand to you. 

           "Good… Suddenly I'm nervous." You chuckle taking his hand and heading out together.

          The bus goes into the city, and to a rich district where a large white marble Mansion sits on a hill. 

          "... Holy shit…" You mutter. 

          "Kinda looks like a giant target." Atsumu huffs. 

          "There are two agencies in this area so it's not like they're not protected. And look there." Akaashi points to the rippling light cascading over the estate.

           "A plasma shield… and it's massive…" You murmur.

           "... I want to look at that generator they have." Akaashi frowns.

          "Um guys. We should head in now." Oikawa says getting off the bus.

         "... Can't we just… Stay outside?" You ask uneasily. 

         "Safer to meet the prince inside." Akaashi points out. You grumble a response and follow them off and onto the estate, sending Death your location. 

          "I feel like an ant walking up to this place. Why does it gotta be so big?" You huff.

          "Maybe there's a lot of people here?" Bokuto tilts his head.

          "I'm going to be annoyed if there's only like five people in here." You sigh shaking your head as Oikawa leads into the mansion, where you're greeted by a single Butler who escorts everyone to the main room, a white marbled room with red tapestries. The prince stands from a throne, opening his arms with a smile.

           "Welcome future heroes! I am Lev Haiba! It's a pleasure to meet you." He gives a bow. 

          "Ah. You guys are here too." A familiar voice sounds and you look over to see Daishou.

          "Boss!" You gasp hugging him.

          "Phew… I'm so glad to see you too." He sighs, relaxing.

          "Boss?" Lev tilts his head curiously. You and Daishou blink, breaking apart.

          "Ah yes. He's going to be my boss one day." You answer.

          "I see." He nods smiling. 

          "So… Why are we here?" Daishou inquires.

          "Oh. I enjoyed watching your tournament, and it's thanks to you all that everyone is safe! So I brought you here to party." He grins. Everyone stares at him stunned. "Oh. You should change into something more comfortable! Servants!" He claps his hands and a few servants appear to escort everyone to change. One takes you to a different room from the others. 

           "The prince finds you special so you have a pick from these wardrobes." The maid hums gesturing. 

           "... Okay…?" You tilt your head going over and opening one. 'Dear God they're all so fancy…' You think picking out one. The maid leaves you so you can change into it. You frown uneasily, looking at your suit, taking the belt of canisters and putting it on under your outfit. 'I would rather keep my suit on…' 

           You head out, being led to a ballroom by the maid. "Welcome back ___, you look great in that." Lev greets. "I'm glad you change so fast. I was hoping to talk to you about becoming my personal guard." 

           "Huh?" You blink.

           "Your quirk is amazing, I would like to have it on my side." He hums.

           "Excuse me. But I believe ___ already informed you of our arrangement." Daishou appears at your side in a green and black suit, offering a smile as he puts an arm around your waist. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to steal my partner." Daishou breathes lightly, eyes narrowed with a false friendly smile on his lips.

           "Oh. You're really snakelike to slither up unnoticed." Lev comments, tilting his head. 

         "Of course. The best hero is the one you never see coming." Daishou responds.

         "That so? Sounds like a good villain to me." Lev smiles, speaking frankly. Daishou's fingers twitch against your side and he shifts.

         "Oh the music is nice. Let's dance Daishou." You gasp, quickly guiding him away, pulling him in to dance with you. "Calm down boss."

         "Sorry. He got under my scales." He says in annoyance. "I had a feeling he'd try something since you were taken somewhere else." He grumbles, spinning you about. 

          "As always your senses are amazing boss." You smile. He pauses before relaxing and tilting his head, pulling you in again. 

          "You know what's really amazing? This is our first dance and we're completely in sync." He breathes. You meet his gaze and he smiles a bit more. "Mika says you two are going on a date soon?"

          "Mhm. If I can take care of the new threat tonight I'm sure we'll go in a day or so… I'm actually really nervous." You whisper. 

          "I completely understand that. But don't worry, she'll handle it all." He murmurs, leaning his head closer. Your face was starting to heat up under his gaze. "Your heartbeat says I'm making you nervous."

          "I really can't hide much from you can I?" You scoff looking away. He chuckles, touching his cheek to your temple.

           "I'm a bit frustrated that it didn't really happen. But next time I'll…" He pauses and looks over as Kuroo comes over in a black and red suit.

           "May I cut into your business meeting?" He smiles.

           "Very well. I'm sure you won't leave if I say no." Daishou huffs before kissing your knuckles. "Seems you have a lot of dance partners lined up. Good luck."

           Daishou moves away at that, and Kuroo takes your hand. "Sorry. I was walking up before I noticed. You look really nice." He says with a small blush, glancing to the side. "Want to dance?" 

            "Sure." You smile and he leads you into a dance, every once in a while one of you would mistep. 

            "So… I'm thirsty, how about we get a drink?" He smiles sheepishly.

            "Sounds good." You chuckle with a nod, letting him lead you to the table prepared with drinks. You glance around finding everyone socializing and seeming uncertain. "Think it bothers the others that we're partying."

            "Right? Doesn't seem like the time for it but the prince seems pretty confident in his defenses…" Kuroo agrees, peering about as well. "Oh. Sakusa finally changed." He comments in surprise and you follow his gaze, feeling yourself blush when you find Kiyoomi approaching you. Kuroo glances at you and sighs. "Go to him ___." He nudges you forward. You glance at him and he nods. "Probably gonna be a better dance partner." He jokes. You chuckle and go over to meet Kiyoomi.

            "Look at you. So handsome and moving around the crowds." You admire looking him over. "You're more suited to be a prince than Lev." You mutter.

            "No thanks. Sounds like a pain… Even though this place is very clean." He comments. "You look amazing." He murmurs softly.

            "Thank you…" You duck your head sheepishly. "And I'm pretty sure that's because there's only like ten people staying in this giant place." You peer about as he takes your hand.

            "Dance with me on the balcony." He murmurs.

            "Got tired of the crowd already huh?" You guess as he leads you out.

           "Yes. And I wanted to steal you." He admits, pulling you into a dance. "You feel you also are uneasy about this."

          "Yeah… You have part of your suit still on don't you?" You guess.

           "Of course. The moment our guards are down is when we'll be attacked." He huffs lightly.

           "True." You sigh lightly resting your head on his shoulder. "But this is nice. Seeing everyone all dressed up." You smile softly closing your eyes. You both come to a stop and he holds you close.

          "It is, isn't it?" He agreed softly. "But as always the best part is being able to hold you like this… Just feel calm and warm." He whispers. You pull your head back to meet his gaze. "I'm so in love with you." 

          "Kiyoomi, you…" You blush heavily and grin. "I lov-"

          The sky above lights up and you both look up as a meteor comes down, hitting the shield and making everything malfunction, all of the power grid going off.

           "... Every fucking time." You both growl together.
