"Bokuto-San, lets land somewhere soon, you've been flying since we left..." Akaashi tells the giant owl, leaning to peer at its face. No response, it's golden eyes searching the waters far below. Akaashi frowns softly. "I know you're worried about ___ but this would cause them worry as well."

A small hoot leaves the owl in response. Akaashi wasn't sure if the other was agreeing, but he was relieved to get a response this time at least. Akaashi pats his head before looking at the radar. A small island appears to the north, but suddenly the radar goes black.

"I miss ___!" Oikawa shouts over the waves.

"... Shut up you idiot!" Iwaizumi hits him.

"Ow Iwa-chan..." Oikawa pouts. "Don't be so mean! Don't you miss ___ too?" His question makes Iwaizumi pause, pink dusting his cheeks.

"... Doesn't matter. You're being too noisy." He snaps.

"I bet they're on an island." Nishinoya tells Ryuu. "Must be surviving to the fullest."

"Or training." Ryuu nods. "They're going to have a wild story when we find them. Especially Atsumu!"

"Shh. That name is taboo right now, remember?" Kuroo whispers to them, glancing toward the blue-gray fox sitting on the railing, ears and tail flickering with agitation.

"Oh right." Ryuu and Nishinoya speak together.

"So has Kenma spotted anything?" Nishinoya inquires.

"He has but nothing linked to our missing buddies... Anyone hear from Tendo or Sakusa?" Kuroo responds.

"Only Tendo. But all he said was that he and Sakusa were getting dirty in their search. Haven't heard from him since." Ryuu responds.

"... That phrase has so many meanings...." Nishinoya mutters.

"And Sakusa would be against all of them." Kuroo chuckles.

"I don't know... When it comes to ___, Sakusa is pretty unpredictable." Ryuu comments. "Like when we all first watched a movie together and Atsumu was trying to cuddle up to ___."

"Pretty sure that was a jealousy thing." Kuroo purses his lips.

"Still not something you expect. And he only does that sort of thing when ____ is involved." Ryuu points out.

"So if we add the crazy and protective best friend, and the fact ___ is missing or in danger. Means Sakusa is 100% unpredictable and twice as dangerous." Nishinoya says folding his arms with a nod. "... Wish I had gone with them."

"Right? Sounds fun." Ryuu gasps.

"... And now I'm concerned." Kuroo sighs.

+

"That seems awfully dangerous." Tendo breathes as Sakusa follows him into an empty storage room.

"Why aren't we blowing this place yet?" Sakusa questions.

"That was the idea until Dante pumped that venom into him... You know ___." Tendo points out.

"... You're right...." Sakusa sighs. "So... What can we do?" Tendo hums at his question, putting a knuckle to his lips as his dark red eyes start to glow, eyes narrowing as he observes the current future. He soon blinks back and chuckles.

"We're going to need the anti-venom. Or we'll all die." He states. "So I'll leave that to you. And you leave the escape to me."

"Still no Hibarida..." Daishou frowns, glancing over the horizon.

"I'm worried Dai-chan." You yawn, rubbing at your eyes. He pauses at the nickname, glancing at you.

"You should sleep before you start to worry." He states.

"No. I'm fine." You say, getting up and moving to climb down. Your foot slips and you start to fall but he catches you with his tail, keeping you in his grasp as he climbs down and places you on the ground. "Whoa... That was scary Dai-chan... You the beast." You give him finger guns. He blinks at you in surprise before smiling a bit.

"I am going to enjoy teasing you when you wake up." He comments.

"Don't do that." You shake your head before yawning again.

"Come on sidekick, time for bed," He gets behind you, gingerly steering you into the cave.

"Hmm... Dai-chan has such cool hands." You hum, leaning back against him.

"I'm cold blooded." He responds. "See? Snake." He says before flicking his forked tongue at you.

"Oh my." You put a hand over your mouth. That was kinda hot. He chuckles at your reaction as you both reach the cavern.

"Oh look, Kuguri is still asleep, go cuddle up to him. If we need you we'll let you know." He says nudging you over to Kuguri.

"Okay. Give Mika a kiss on the cheek for me. I bet she looks so cute this morning." You hum happily. He pauses and chuckles, shaking his head.

"Alright. I'll be sure to do that, sleep well." He says going out. You smile and crawl between Kuguri's arms,waking him slightly as you cuddle up to him. He sleepily blinks at you before nuzzling your temple and hugging you before falling back to sleep.

Atsumu looks over as Daishou rejoins everyone at the original camp. "Alright, I checked where the canoe is and they're currently on the horizon. I'm sure they'll make contact later today. But to keep the enemy from looking past us. Let's get some more fires going and ready for another attack." Daishou tells everyone.

With that the groups split up again, Atsumu joining Daishou on collecting wood. "___?" Atsumu asks.

"I had to send ___ to bed... Was acting really odd." Daishou chuckles.

"Oh right. The cute sleepy head thing... I miss that." Atsumu recalls with a fond smile. "Really affectionate like that too."

"I noticed... Gotta say Kuroo has some good kohai." Daishou comments. "You two are very helpful."

"I'm barely keeping up with ___ though... I gotta get better at supporting... You two look so friggin cool when you work together." Atsumu grumbles. Daishou pauses and starts to laugh at that.

"Do your best I guess, fox." He rumbles in amusement. "Say. Ever thought about going to Nohebi?"

"No. I like Raizu." Atsumu responds. "And just so you know. ___ will give you the same answer."

"That's too bad... I heard with the schools being under attack, that the Rescue Tournament is going to mix some of the competitions so the first and second years will compete." Daishou tells him. "I was hoping for it. But now, not so much. Might lose my future sidekick if we end up against each other."

"Huh? You already have a sidekick? What the heck!?" Atsumu gasps. Daishou just smiles to himself at the reaction. "... Damn snake." He grumbles. Daishou flicks his tongue in response. "Gah! Don't do that! It's weird!"

You yawn and stretch, feeling for your warmth before frowning and opening your eyes peering around tiredly before sitting up. "Ah. I got too used to cuddling... Now I can't sleep without it." You sigh, stretching a bit and popping your back. You get up and head outside for the original campsite. Kuguri meets you halfway and frowns a bit.

"Oh... I was coming right back." He murmurs.

"That's okay. Looks like I got a couple hours in thanks to you." You assure with a smile. He nods and joins you as you continue on.

"___!" Mika greets with a wave. "Good morning. I have juice for you. And I'll cook you something to eat."

"Good morning. Thank you." You smile, taking the coconut she hands you. "Daishou, did you do the thing?" You call as he and Atsumu return from lighting another pile of wood. He blinks at you and shakes his head slightly. "You better before I do." You want him. He blinks and smiles a bit, coming over and kissing Mika's cheek, making her blush slightly.

"You two..." She murmurs, waving her hand.

"... Damn. She got cuter again." You sigh.

"Did you sleep well?" Atsumu asks, hugging you.

"Yeah... I miss Osamu again though." You murmur into his shoulder.

"Really?" He scoffs. "What? You want me to cook breakfast?" He huffs letting you go.

"Atsumu. We both know that's a bad idea." You tell him.

"... Tch... Then what is it? Don't miss him." He says stubbornly.

"It's not just him. I miss Tendo, I miss my cactus, I miss Iwaizumi, I miss Bokuto...." You start to pout. "Tsumu. I want to cuddle chibi Bokuto and hear Oikawa laugh.. And see Kuroo's smile...." You wave your arms a bit in an attempt to calm yourself.

"You need a bear hug huh?" Mika guesses and you give her a sad nod so she nudges Daishou promptly. He smiles a bit pulling you into a firm hug, feeling warm thanks to the hours in the sunlight. You blink a few times before relaxing and hugging him back.

"There we go, heart rate has calmed down a bit." He pats your head before pulling back. "Get some food in your stomach." He adds before heading off to check on the others.

"Yes boss." You call after him before sitting down, pausing when Atsumu joins you.

"... Your cactus huh?" He hums.

"Yeah. I'll claim the cactus." You chuckle. "Is that all you heard though?"

"Kuroo's smile is weird." He murmurs.

"No, it's cute."

"Is not. He looks like someone that's going to put a curse on you the moment you turn away."

"That sounds interesting actually."

"... Geez. There is something wrong with you..."

"Well... I'm not dead yet so something's going right."

"Hehehe. You two sure are close." Mika giggles as she brings you some food.

"Of course. We're roommates." You smile, nudging him.

"Yeah..." Atsumu seems thoughtful for a moment. "___'s a real pain in the ass though. Like a magnet for trouble."

"What? Excuse you, nothing has happened in a month." You scoff.

"Yeah but the moment you decide to go somewhere, look what happens. And that day you decided to take Sakusa on a date-"

"That wasn't a date we were just hanging out!"

"Yeah in some secluded area... And we only ended up in Inari because Kita came to see you."

"Holy shit.... I'm cursed."

"Ex- wait, what? No. I didn't say that."

"But you did. I am a factor in all of these scenarios." You gasp. "I'm so sorry Mika."

"Don't be... This is... Kind of fun." She smiles.

"... You're too cute..." You sigh covering your eyes.

"And I don't know about Inari, but everything you've been involved with ended good right? So maybe thank yourself for that too." She suggests lightly.

"Hm?" You peer from behind your hand at her in surprise.

"That's right. Everything worked out." Atsumu pats your back.

"... I miss Osamu again." You murmur as you focus on your food. He frowns at that before looking away.

"Yeah? Well I miss.... Sakusa." He lies in annoyance.

"Me too! Those dark judging eyes, the crease between his eyebrows when he glares at you... My precious cactus." You tear up slightly while Atsumu gives you a look.

"Aw. I want to meet him now." Mika comments.

"Oh! You should! We should totally hang out when we get back!" You gasp, grabbing her hand in excitement. She blinks and grins.

"Shopping!" You both chime.

"I don't know what's going on. But I'll have you know this island doesn't permit this level of cute that's going on here." Daishou says as he returns.

"We're making plans for after we get back." Mika tells him.

"Ooo we should go to a fair too." You breathe.

"I love cotton candy!" She giggles.

"Right? It's the best thing ever." You grin. Daishou looks between you two before chuckling a bit.

"Gotta get off this island first you two." He says lightly.

"Hibarida is swimming up!" Yamaguchi calls. You get up and run to the indicated beach with the others. You pause as you watch the pro reach the shore. The way he stood up, the way his skin looked all seemed off.

"Ah, welcome back! We were starting to worry-" Mika moves to greet him but Daishou and you hold out an arm in front of her.

"Atsumu. You're the final defense." Daishou breathes.

"Wait... Are you two serious?" Atsumu huffs uneasily.

"What? What's going on?" Mika asks, lost.

"Damn villains..." Hibarida straightens, heavily bloodshot eyes glaring at the group. "You won't get away with this injustice." You instinctively touch the sand, hand sweeping out to burst the beach in front of you. Daishou shoots Atsumu a look that prompts the other to get the others away from the area. A burst of wind scatters the particles and before you knew it Hibarida is in front of Daishou.

'Shit.' You think, reaching for Daishou but he takes his snake form as he's buffeted backwards. You blink, silently scolding yourself as you flip to the side before Hibarida can blast you back with a gust. You sweep your hand out, bursting another layer of the beach before diving into the particle cloud and landing a punch to the pro's jaw- which was like punching a rock.

He simply grabs your wrist and tosses you away as the cloud clears. You hit the water and swiftly get back up as he turns to you, something seemed to be weakening him. He pulls back his arm to swing another gust at you but the large snake he had sent off launches out of the trees, coiling around his arm and torso, effectively halting the attack.

You swiftly charge the pro, as he struggles to rip Daishou off. He growls and bites the snake's soft scales, making Daishou loosen his grip. Hibarida slings the snake into you and you swiftly touch the sand to send up another layer before moving away with Daishou, hiding behind a rock as he changes back.

"The bastard bit me! Who the hell does that?" He gasps, touching his stomach.

"... Well this is awkward." You comment looking away and making him pause, almost smiling as pink comes to his cheeks.

"Not. Now ___." He breathes avoiding your gaze. You chuckle and peek over the rock as the pro swings, blasting you back. Daishou swiftly catches you, diving into the water and circling the beach. You shake your head, squeezing your eyes shut briefly before you reach shore again. You lift out of the water carefully, exchanging a glance with Daishou before sweeping your arm out to send up another cloud before you both separate and rush him.

A gust rips open the cloud beside you and you dive at his feet, bursting the ground beneath him and making him lose balance. Daishou collides into his side, wrapping around him as he takes snake form again. Hibarida falls forward and you spot a metal device attached to his neck. You pause and Daishou lets out a pained hiss as Hibarida forces his arms open, stressing Daishou's snake body.

"Daishou let go!" You gasp as a tear opens up. He does so, jumping back and holding his arm as blood seeps from the rip in his skin. Hibarida turns to and before you're sent flying through the air you burst the beach again, hiding Daishou from sight.

You tumble through the air, starting to straighten out when a pair of talons catch your arms. You pause, familiar wings catching your eye. "Bokuto!" You gasp looking up at the owl with a grin. Akaashi peeks over his shoulder at you. "And Akaashi!... But listen! I need to get back to the beach now! Please hurry." You tell them.

Bokuto releases a hoot and glides for the beach as Hibarida clears the cloud, knocking Daishou back. Hibarida catches sight of the owl and turns to send another gust at you, but Daishou wraps around his arms.

"Throw me at him!" You gasp, kicking your feet out anxiously. Bokuto tosses you at the two and you hit your feet on Hibarida's chest, reaching behind his neck and bursting the device as he gives a shout that sends you back into the sky. Bokuto drops off Akaashi and changes forms before bursting after you, catching you in his arms.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" He beams happily at you.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" You return the greeting, throwing your arms around his neck and kissing his cheek. He sighs happily, hugging you tight as he lands with you. You smile and pause, pulling away to go to Daishou. "You okay? Your arm..." You gasp.

"I'm good. Just glad he stopped." He breathes as he peers at Hibarida who was now unconscious.

"I brought a first aid kit. I'll treat you." Akaashi tells him getting started.

"Where did you guys pop up from?" Daichou asks.

"Raizu. We've been flying back and forth along the flight path looking for your plane. We came across your canoe, they explained the situation. Looks like we were just in time." Akaashi comments glancing at Hibarida. "Why were you fighting a pro though?"

"Not sure. He went to fight the villains that put us here, and came back with something on his neck and attacked us." You frown going over and pausing, bursting the pro's shirt to find a heavy swelling on his side, veins darkened around it. "What..."

"... That looks like venom." Daishou says and you meet his gaze. "They probably anticipated that we would get that thing on his neck. And..." He frowns as your heart drops.

"... It looks like he barely has twenty minutes." Akaashi breathes. You look down at the man and bite your lip.

"___! Daishou!" Mika calls running onto the beach. "Look there!" She points to the horizon. You and Daishou look over at the large ship and pause.

"So that's their main base." You comment standing up. "Good. Bokuto, give me a lift. I'd like to ask them about the anti-venom." You breathe, right hand curling into a fist. He stiffens a bit at your tone.

"Ah... Sure..." He nods.

"Whoa. What are you two doing here?" Atsumu gasps reaching the beach as well.

"Now's not the time for a reunion it seems." Akaashi tells him. Daishou stands up, frowning at you.

"You shouldn't go in there alone." He says.

"Sorry Dai-chan. But I can't do a lot of damage if I'm worried about endangering people I care about." You respond seriously. He blinks and shifts, before he hardens his gaze.

"Then as your future boss I order you to come back safe and sound after you do what you need to." He tells. You pause, eyes widening.

"Oh." You put a knuckle to your lips.

"What?" He raises an eyebrow.

"I just got chills you're going to be great at this..." You marvel, making him blink and smirk, holding his fist out to you.

"Go get that anti-venom." He breathes. You nod and Bokuto picks you up, taking flight for the ship.

"After we get back I want to go on a date." Bokuto says suddenly.

"Oh yeah? With who?"

"You!"

"Oh... Okay, but just so you know Osamu was first."

"Fine. But he better hurry up." He scoffs as he nears the ship, landing on it with you.

"Alright. Thanks Bokuto, go wait with the others, I'm sure you'll be able to catch me if things go bad." You tell him. He nods, opening his wings and getting sweeped off. You crouch and make a hole in the ship, hopping down into the ship.

"What the hell?! B-Boss!" One of the villains call, rushing out. Some of the others make a move to attack but you dodge them, bursting their weapons and armor. They swiftly back off at that.

"Ohh, the one with the burst quirk came to play." A chubby guy says being followed in by some villains. "Did you like your gift? How is Hibarida doing?" He smiles.

"He'll do a lot better if you hand over the anti-venom." You respond.

"Oh sure." He tosses you a vial. You peer at it carefully, eyes narrowing.

"I don't have time for games." You glare at him.

"Hm? What do you mean? That's your anti-venom." He snickers a bit.

"It's a subtle difference but it's a difference I know well enough. This is just venom, you sick bastard." You snarl throwing the vial at his feet. "Give me the fucking anti-venom!" You snap.

"Would if I could." He shrugs unphased. "But we don't have one." His words make your blood boil. This guy.

"Alright then. Go meet the infinite." You breathe, right arm starting to raise as the particles start to drift off of it. Now he seemed to realize the situation and shifts.

"D-Dont be stupid. You'll kill us all." He points out. Your lips start to lift up slightly at that.

"___! I'm home!" A familiar chime makes you freeze, knocking your mind from it's dark thoughts. A pair of arms wrap around you, clipping something around you. Tendo peers at your stunned face with a cute smile. "We've been looking for you." He kisses your nose.

"Wh-"

"What are you doing seer?" The boss demands.

"We're leaving, we have what we came for! Thanks Dante!" Tendo chimes holding up a small trigger device and pressing the button as someone slips something into your left hand. You blink and look over to find Sakusa. He gives a nod and puts a gas mask over your mouth as gas spews out of the corners of the room, the floor melts beneath you three and you go through two other floors before you're out of the ship. Tendo laughs as you fall. Sakusa keeps a grip on your wrist, looking at the ship as sparks start to burst out of the metal panels.

"Tendo!" Sakusa manages.

"Wait for it.... Wait for it...." Tendo hums, an eye starting to glow. "Now!" He chimes and they open their parachutes. The harness Tendo had snuck around you earlier keeps you from falling as the parachute stops the drop. You relax a bit, looking back at the large ship as it starts to go down, large plumes of smoke leaving it.

"... What the hell guys?" You question.

"Surprise!" Tendo chimes.

"It's a long confusing story." Sakusa tells you. "And Tendo will happily tell you all about... Later... Are you okay?"

"Yeah... I feel pretty gross though." You look at the syringe in your hand. "Is this..?"

"Yep! Go get him ___!" Tendo chuckles, suddenly unhooking you and making you fall. You cry out in surprise but Bokuto catches you, flying back for the shore.

"Was that Tendo and Sakusa??" He huffs, glancing over his shoulder.

"Yeah, don't ask because I really don't know." You sigh focusing on Hibarida when you land. You swiftly go to him, passing the syringe to Mika so she can inject it.

"Alright... All that's left is to wait..." She murmurs. You sigh and fall back on your butt, facing the waves as Bokuto flies to retrieve Tendo and Sakusa.

"You okay?" Atsumu asks softly.

"I don't know yet." You glance at the pro.

"Well, you got back faster than expected. All in one piece, so good job." Daishou says sitting beside you and patting your head.

"Thanks boss." You smile a bit.

"... So what's with the boss thing?" Atsumu questions, "You leaving us?"

"Nope. I just made a pact with Daishou." You hum.

"Pact sounds serious. How about a 'deal' instead?" Daishou tilts his head.

"Deal is good." You nod.

"... I'm so lost- What the heck? Why is the cactus here?!" Atsumu gasps. You blink back and get up as Bokuto lands with Tendo and Sakusa. You run over and give them both a proper hug.

"As long as you promise to explain later, I won't question you... Because I am so happy to see you guys." You tell them. "I've really missed you." You murmur looking down.

"Aww you love us!" Tendo teases hugging you tightly.

"O-Of course I do. Dummy." You grumble hugging him back with a blush.

"Aww Sakusa did ya hear that? ___ loves you!" Tendo chuckles making you hide your face and Sakusa turns pink.

"Shut up." Sakusa sighs.

"So all these guys came here for you? Someone sure is popular." Daishou comments making you pull away from Tendo.

"I'm just lucky. Oh right. Where Osamu?" You look at Akaashi.

"I'm sure the others will be arriving soon. I sent out the coordinates before we came back into the blackout zone." He smiles a bit.

"So we're saved?" Mika breathes.

"Yep." There's a defining crash after you get the word out and look back to find the ship had finally hit the water. "Totally safe now. And if any of those villains swim up this way, they get to deal with us. Right boss?"

"Of course. We'll repay them for their kindness." Daishou chuckles.

As expected some villains wash up on shore and Akaashi immediately handcuffs them. Only an hour passes before a large ship comes to the bay. You and Atsumu pause as a large blue fireball bursts off of the ship, coming over the water at the group. You gasp in realization and moving in front of the group, starting to grin as the giant fox reaches the beach.

"Osamu~!" You chime. He rushes you, flames lifting off as he pulls you into a deep kiss.

"Oi!" Atsumu, Sakusa, Akaashi, and Bokuto object to that.

"I am so happy to see you." Osamu smiles softly cupping your face. He pecks your lips before glaring at Atsumu. "You. You reckless, clingy, asshole. What were you thinking?" He growls, flames flickering over his shoulders, making everyone move away from Atsumu. "Selfish, foul-mouthed pig! Do you have any idea how stressed I've been!?" He grips his brother's shoulders. "I thought I lost you both again!" He shouts, claws digging into Atsumu's shoulders. "Never do this shit without me again!"

"Oh." Tendo blinks while Atsumu meets his twin's gaze.

"Well I would've but I barely fit in that damn duffle bag with that box." Atsumu says. Osamu pauses and looks back at you.

"I'm getting you a bigger bag." He states.

"That's okay Samu. I don't think I'll be flying for a while." You smile waving your hand.

"Anyway. Whatcha doing? Coming in here and kissing ___ huh? The heck was that?" Atsumu huffs in annoyance.

"So you're not even worried that you're bleeding.?" Tendo hums.

"Ouch! What the heck bro?" Atsumu gasps when Osamu releases him.

"Just be happy I didn't bite your head. Because I was going to if ___ hadn't given me such a cute greeting." Osamu tells him.

"Your friends all seem happy to see you." Mika giggles to you.

"Heh I'm happy to see them." You chuckle. "Feels like home here suddenly." You breathe. She blinks at you and smiles, hugging you.

"That's sweet." She murmurs. "I'm glad you're safe. And thanks for helping Daishou." She kisses your cheek and you blush.

"I-I was just repaying him for saving me. Still don't think I have..." You stammer sheepishly.

"That's okay. You'll have plenty of chances later." She smiles as she pulls away.

"Right. I'll do my..." You pause as chains wrap around you before you're suddenly pulled clear over the water and onto a raft.

"___! I'm so glad you're alive!" Oikawa cuddles your cheek with teary eyes.

"Oikawa let go of ___, your chains are tightening too much." Iwaizumi hits him and you're freed.

"Hey ___ did you have fun?" Kuroo asks, hugging you now.

"Kinda. But I've had enough of the island getaway." You chuckle when he lets you go.

"I bet." He laughs.

"___!" Nishinoya and Ryuu cry, pouncing on you and hugging you tightly.

"Sorry I didn't mean for everyone to worry." You hug them just as tightly, Nishinoya kissing your cheek.

"We weren't worried until your plane went missing." Nishinoya responds.

"We're glad you're safe." Kenma breathes, touching your hand.

"I'm glad you guys came to get us. Oh Kuroo, you know Daishou?" You ask.

"Eh? How do you know that name?" Kuroo blinks in surprise and you just smile, peering over as the raft reaches the shore.

"Ah... Even you came, Kuroo?" Daishou huffs trying to hide his displeasure.

"Daishou, and Mika, always good to see you." Kuroo smiles. "Thanks for watching out for my kohai."

"No problem. ___ is nothing like you, so it was entirely my pleasure." Daishou hums, patting your head as everyone starts to board the raft, Kuguri and Hiro helping Hibarida on board.

"___, Daishou..." The pro manages. "I'm-"

"Going to send us flying again?" You smile. "Because I would like that but you seem kinda weak right now."

"Yeah don't think we'll see that much sky in a while." Daishou jokes lightly. Hibarida blinks at you both.

"We'll forgive you when we see you fighting crime again, alive and well." You smile.

"And ___ wants to take Mika to the fair sometime, so you can pay for the tickets." Daishou rumbles. The pro looks between you two before smiling tiredly.

"Understood." He breathes.

"... Sounds like you have quite the story." Iwaizumi comments.

"Heh I'll tell you guys all about it... Did Tera and the others get back?" You ask.

"We're here." Tera calls.

"Good. Let's go home." Daishou says.

"You guys don't have to worry about me. My home is here." You smile, looking at your friends. They tense, Tendo and Oikawa say 'awww' before tackle hugging you.

"___!" Some of the others gasp, also hugging you.

"Aww that was so sweet." Mika breathes, wedging herself in to hug you too.

"... There's too much cute going on. You're breaking the law again ___, Mika." Daishou warns.

"Haha sorry boss."

You stare out at the darkening waves as the ship steadily heads for land. Everyone else was inside chatting over dinner happily.

"You're not tired of this view yet?" Sakusa asks, leaning on the railing and looking out.

"Not really. It's different every night." You hum.

"That so?" He breathes.

"Yeah... How was the airship though? Tendo said you guys did sleep there." You comment.

"It was cramped, smelt weird... But the view from up there was nice... The only thing that wasn't awful about that whole ordeal." He grumbles.

"Heh... I'm surprised you even went along with it." You murmur shifting closer to him.

"Normally I wouldn't. But he seemed so... Experienced. I guess I was also curious about your best friend." He says.

"Oh? What did you find out?" You lean on the railing peering at his face.

"... He's terrifyingly amazing." Sakusa says meeting your gaze. "I understand a bit more now."

"Good." You smile, watching him thoughtfully.

"What? Why are you staring...?" He huffs.

"I'm just enjoying the view... I've missed you... So damn much." You straighten up and kiss his cheek, making him pause.

"... Idiot. You know you can't do that casually." He sighs, moving away a bit to give you a scolding frown.

"Yeah. But... It's always worth it." You respond, body tensing slightly as you lose mobility. He watches you for a moment putting on a glove to cup your cheek.

"I'm glad you're safe... I may have been a bit overjoyed when you burst your way onto the ship like a reckless, hell bent fool." He smiles a tiny bit. "Well, 'like a hero' is a better description."

"Nah the fool part describes it best. I was not thinking things through..." You huff, making him blink in surprise.

"That's... Wearing off fast now..." He comments.

"Maybe I'm becoming immune." You smile. "Soon I'll be able to do a lot more."

"Don't. That's a bad idea-" You lean up, lips nearly touching his, making him freeze.

"Always is a bad idea. But still..." You meet his gaze. He sighs and presses his forehead to yours, pushing your face back a bit.

"You're getting worse..." He pulls away putting a hand over his mouth. "Give me a bit more time.." He adds looking to the side.

"Alright. Sorry for being too much..." You rub your neck sheepishly.

"That's never been a problem... Excuse me." He breathes before wandering off. You smile a bit and sit on the railing.

"I can't wait to sleep in my bed..."
