You stretch watching the others eat and chat cheerfully as the sun starts to go down. "Ushijima still hasn't come back." You breathe, getting up,  making Kiyoomi look at you. "Kenma. Lend me your eyes to find Ushijima please." You call going over to him. He blinks at you and nods before his eyes change and he looks about. 

         "He's down that trail… Looks like he's pretty far actually…" Kenma points. 

         "Alright I'll go check on him. Osamu can you pass me a water bottle please?" You request.

         "Sure thing. I'll keep the food warm for him." He says.

         "Can I go with you? I love trails." Mika hugs your arm cheerfully.

         "O-oh sure." You blush a bit.

         "You wanna come Daishou?" She asks him, making you both pause. You and Daishou glance at each other before he quickly looks away.

         "No. You two have fun." He manages. Mika tilts her head at that and you quickly lead her off down the trail at that. 

         "...Did something happen between you and Daishou?" She asks, making you tense.

         "Ah… well… Why do you ask?" You try to play it off. 

         "Well… He's kinda acting the same way after we accidentally kissed during field day after we met." She puts a knuckle to her chin. She looks at you and you swallow, looking down guilty.

          "Yeah… Sorry about that." You murmur making her gasp.

          "Really? When!?" She asks curiously, shocking you.

          "Ah… When you crashed into us earlier." You admit.

           "Awww! That's so cute!" She gushes. 

           "... Huh…?" You manage, utterly lost. "But aren't you two…"

           "Oh we've been on break for a while. I still like him but… I want him to focus on his dream." She smiles. 

          "Oh. Okay makes sense. You're such a sweet thing." You chuckle relaxing. She giggles and cuddles your arm.

          "To be honest. I ship you two." She says lightly, making you blush.

          "... What??" You blink.

          "Yeah…" She blushes a bit. "I keep painting you two. Daishou thinks it's because I like you both. But you know… I really really want to see the day when the news comes on and you two are on it saving the day together." She breathes, drawing on invisible hearts on your arms. "... Do you think I'm weird?" 

            "No. I… Think you're full of surprises. Because everytime you come near me you just put me in either shock or awe. Or both. I'm feeling both right now." You ramble a bit.

            "Hehe. You're cute ___." She smiles. 

            "Me? You're cute." You huff. You both blink at each other before hugging and laughing. "Ah… I think you're bad before my brain."

            "You'll be fine. You think fast." She giggles. You chuckle, both of you leaning on each other slightly as you peer about. "I think you should talk to him about it." She says suddenly. You grumble with a blush. 

            "Y-You're right. It was just an accident." You rub your cheek.

            "I can't wait to paint that too." She breathes, taking out her phone. "Did I show you this one? Sorry I just made up your costume because I don't know how yours looks." She shows you the other painting she had done of you and Daishou, looking like a pair of heroes about to go into battle. 

            "I look so cool in that! Is that Daishou's costume!? It suits him perfectly!" You gasp in amazement, bouncing slightly. 

            She grins watching you happily. "Really? You really like it? I'll send it to you. I just wasn't sure if you'd be okay with the costume." She blushes, tucking some hair behind her ear. 

            "I love it! Thank you so much." You tell her. "You know, we can update our costumes at any time. Tendo designed mine, but I'd really like to combine yours with it. If that's okay?" 

            "Eh? Really? That'd make me so happy!" She chimes with a bounce. 

            "Then it's settled. Heh you're so cute." You chuckle. She blinks at you and leans up, kissing the corner of your mouth.

            "C-Come on. We're supposed to go get Ushijima right?" She hurries ahead in embarrassment. You blink a few times before nodding at nothing.

              "I love camping…" You mutter before rushing after her, someone running along the trees in your peripheral vision makes you freeze and look over. You search for a moment before frowning lightly and moving to Mika's side.

            "I'm sorry about that. I don't know what came over me." She covers her face.

            "That's okay Mika, I don't mind." You rub her back. "I'm really honored actually you're super cute and talented." You scratch your cheek. "It's just… Odd. I… I only had Kiyoomi and Tendo with me until I came to Raizu. Now there's so many people that think way more of me than I ever thought of myself… It's unreal…" 

             "Is it?" Mika tilts her head. "But you've been really nice and always putting everyone first. You think so much of people too. Who wouldn't want to love you for that?" You blink and blush lightly before frowning softly.

           "I… Uh… I don't feel like I deserve any of it though?" You look down. "Like. I thought the world of my parents. Now my dad's gone and my mom left me alone. And Tendo's been there but at the same time it doesn't feel like it… It doesn't feel like the love being tossed at me is real. Because I honestly don't understand why I'm receiving any." You stop, looking at your hands, your mind trying to turn your thoughts self-destructive. 

          "___." Ushijima's voice sounds and makes you blink back, looking at him to find he was standing in front of you and Mika. 

          "W-Wakatoshi. When did you…" He pulls you into a tight hug and Mika takes your hand, wiping one of the tears that had left her eyes.

           "It's real. All of it." He states. You blink, tears flooding your eyes at that. You sniff and bury your face in his chest, one hand gripping his shirt while the other gives Mika's hand a squeeze. 

            "I-Im sorry… I didn't mean to say all those things out loud." You sniffle. 

           "That's okay. I'm glad you said something. Now I know we need to love you harder for you to feel it." Mika manages softly, gripping your hand firmly.

          "Heh… That's okay…" You breathe relaxing before looking up at Ushijima. "I uh… Brought you some water. You were gone so long I was starting to worry about you." You offer a small smile. He blinks down at you. 

          "Sorry for worrying you then… And thank you." He breathes releasing you. "I'm… Really glad you snuck onto campus and spent the night with me." He adds lightly looking down with a small blush. Mika gaps at that, putting a hand over her mouth and peering at you.

            "I-It wasn't like that!" You gasp. "We did share the bed, b-but I couldn't sleep without cuddles." You tell her.

            "Aww that's so cute." She giggles. "So who are you sharing your tent with then?" She tilts her head.

            "... I want to say Kiyoomi but that is very dangerous." Your shoulders droop. "I did not think that far ahead…"

            "Should I tell Daishou?" She teases.

            "N-No. Things are already weird with the boss right now." You swiftly shake your head with a blush. 

            "Well I would but I'd be too nervous or happy to sleep." She giggles. 

            "That's okay because you'd probably be bad for my heart anyway. That's just… Too much cuteness at night and in the morning." You wave your hand. "I'll be fine. I'm sure I can handle sleeping on my own in a tent… If I can't then.. Wakatoshi-"           

          "Yes." He nods without hesitation.

          "Thanks. Let's get going back."

*-*-*-*

          "... You okay boss?" Rakurai asks, peering at Tendo as he watches the monitor with you on it. 

          "Yeah…" Tendo answers softly. He couldn't hear what was said but he could somewhat read your lips and understand what it was from Mika's and Ushijima's reactions. His red eyes narrow slightly. 'You say those things sometimes. About things not feeling real…' He frowns heavily. "___'s about to have a break down…" He sighs, rubbing his face. "But I can't go unless I'm called. If I show up now it'll be suspicious…"

          "But you'll worry if ya dont." Death guesses.

          "Being there when I'm needed is my job. And ___'s breakdowns can be messy…" Tendo murmurs. "But… I can't see me being needed this time… And that bothers me way more." He raises his head to look at the screen, one of his eyes glowing. He pouts softly and sits back, fiddling with his fingers. 

           "So is something going to get destroyed? Or…" Rakurai raises an eyebrow.

           "Not normally… ___ actually gets really sneaky about them. And they're so quiet. Unless you know the warning signs you wouldn't know it's about to happen." Tendo hums. "___ doesn't like anyone knowing when the thoughts start to turn but sometimes it slips out like a quiet plea. If ___'s left alone that right hand starts to look like a really inviting friend." Tendo breathes and closes his eyes. "I know it tries to pull me in sometimes."

            "... Whoa boss…" Rakurai frowns.

            "I can't expect you to understand. You've never seen how easily that quirk can erase someone. And there's no pain when ya unravel… I think my teammate from Bloody Horizon said it was freeing in a way. It bothered him so much though.. So I had to wipe his memory of it. Then he had those really intense dreams of it, so I had to wipe his memory of it again... Memories really are odd. You can never completely get rid of them, your body still remembers feelings and instinctively dreads something you tucked away at the back of your mind until it's triggered…" He looks at the screens again.

         "Even with all those people there with them? They still going down?" Death tilts his head.

         "Yes. Even the most crowded places can make you feel lonely. It's not much different if there are family or friends there too. Those whispers start to grow into the loudest shouts and drown everything else out, convincing you that it'll be okay if you leave this world." Tendo swallows a bit. Death puts a hand on his shoulder, frowning heavily in concern. "I'm okay Kobalt. I'm just repeating what ___ has told me." Tendo pats his hand with a soft smile. 

           "It breaks my heart everytime though." Tendo sighs watching you. "When the person you care about most starts thinking about getting rid of themselves. I can kill anyone else that threatens ___ without a second thought. But I can't do anything when it's me protecting them from themselves… All I can do is hug them and try to make my voice heard over the bad ones." His eyes narrow. "Where's my phone?" He looks about. 

           "Here boss. Me and Rakurai are gonna get some food. Whatcha want?" Death hands it to him. 

           "... Surprise me. I'm not very hungry right now." Tendo responds.

           "You're never very hungry boss…" Rakurai frowns lightly.

           "... That's probably why I can't bulk up more…" Tendo pouts. "Eggs. I want eggs." 

           "Good choice boss. Let's go lad." Death says turning to the door. Rakurai nods and gets up, giving Tendo a quick hug before going out after the other.

           "I'm so lucky to get such good partners this time around." He mutters before calling you.

*-+*-+*-+*

        "Oi! ___! Tendo's calling you!" Atsumu calls when you reach camp, bringing you your phone.

        "Oh, thanks… What timing." You hum before answering it. "Hey Satori."

        '... You know… Hearing you say that over the phone, just made my heart flutter…' 

        "Heh. I'll do that from now on… So what's up? Everything okay?" You ask, moving for the lake. Mika watches after you, fiddling with her hair before going over to talk to Daishou.

        'Nothing new. Just missing you…' He breathes, and for a moment you remember the last time you two had talked. 'I keep wishing I could be there… But.. I should probably stay away for a bit since I almost went overboard last time.' He says sheepishly. You pout slightly at that, blushing a bit as you peer at the water. '... I'm sensing a pout.'

        "I miss you." You grumble. 

        '... N-No ___, I can't…'

       "I didn't say anything else… But I haven't seen your face in three days and we'll be here for three days and I just…" You shift. "I want Tendo pictures if I can't see you dammit." You puff your cheeks. He chuckles softly at that.

        'You're so cute…' He sighs. 'I love you more than anything… You know that right?'

        "Yeah… I love you too Tendo." You smile a bit.

        'I'm so lucky for that.' He hums and you can imagine him smiling softly. 

        "So send me pictures of your cute smile you got on." You smirk a bit.

        'I will… Are you having fun?'

        "Yeah. We had a chicken fight earlier that kinda got out of hand." You chuckle lightly. "And someone here keeps messing with me. Keep making it sound like there's a little kid running around here." You huff.

         'That's… Really mean and creepy… Are you scared yet?' He snickers.

          "Nope. I'm not going to be tricked." You declare. You brush some of your back with your right hand before pausing and looking at it quietly, your mind starting to buzz a bit. "I got scarier things to worry about anyway.."

          '... The void is calling you again isn't it?'

          "... Don't worry, I'm fine." You put your right hand behind your back as if to hide it. "I-Im not alone. So I'll be fine," You assure.

          'Call if you need me. Okay? I got to go now, some friends are bringing me food.' He says softly. 'I love you.'

          "I will. Love you too." You murmur. "Send me pictures."

         'You too.' He chuckles. You hang up and smile a bit, kissing the top of your phone before putting it away.

         "Hey…" You look back as Daishou walks up, rubbing the back of his neck, other hand in his pocket. "You okay?" He avoids your gaze and you awkwardly look back at the water.

         "Yeah… I worried Mika didn't I?" You guess, rubbing your cheek.

         "Sorta… She's easily worried when it comes to certain people." He breathes, glancing at you. "But you know… if anything is wrong then…" He pauses as you look over at him, meeting his gaze. He reaches over, pulling your head to his chest and hugging you tightly. "I got you."

         "Thanks boss." You relax, hugging him back. After a bit you both start to tense and break apart with a light blush. You both meet each other's gaze briefly before turning away from each other. 

          "See ya." You both manage before you go back up towards the camp. Daishou glances after you and frowns lightly before a child's giggle makes him stiffen and look around. 

          "_-___ wait up…" He calls making you stop. You look back as he swiftly joins your side. "Did you hear something just now?" He asks casually.

          "... No. Let me guess. You heard a kid or something?" You raise an eyebrow. He blinks and nods with a small frown. "I'm pretty sure the others are messing with us." You step closer and lower your voice. "I mean with Akaashi's quirk and Kenma being able to see everyone it would be easy to mess with the ones that wander off alone."

           "You're right. Those bastards." He huffs before smiling devilishly. "Well then. We should just return the favor," He rumbles, forked tongue curling out the side of his mouth. You pause blushing lightly as you narrow your eyes at him. ".... What?" He blinks before pausing and blushing himself. "Sorry that was…" He covers his mouth looking to the side.

            'Im boss can be so hot sometimes.' You think putting a hand over your face while the other pats his head. "I like that." You murmur as he blinks. You drop your hand to give him a smirk. "Let's make them all gather in one tent in fear." You snicker, making him grin. 

            "That'll make it all the better revenge." He rumbles, snake tail swishing behind him.

            "I don't like the looks of that." Kuroo mutters looking down at you and Daishou.

            "___ seemed down so I sent him to lift the spirits. But it looks like the wrong ones are being lifted." Mika hums. "Still it's super cute with them looking scary together." She giggles. "Oh…. They would look so cool as villains too." 

           "M-Mika-chan don't you think you should be a bit more concerned about this…?" Kuroo sweatdrops.

           "Nope. Whatever they do will be fun." Mika comments smiling. 

           "Hey! Let's tell ghost stories!" Nishinoya calls with a laugh. 

           "Guess I'll show you a specialty of mine." Daishou breathes as you both look toward the main campfire where everyone is gathered.

            "Oh please do boss." You snicker as you both head up to join everyone. He chuckles, putting an arm around your neck and smirking as you both reach camp. 

            "Scary stories sound fun." Daishou comments, letting you go. "Let's all take turns then." He adds, sitting next to Mika. He motions for you to sit on his otherside. Kiyoomi takes the other spot beside you, raising a brow slightly. 

             "I'll start then." Nishinoya decides cheerfully. The group seems to become more compact as everyone tells a spooky story. Daishou shifts and smirks a bit, both of you exchange a glance at that. You pause as you feel his tail brush your back briefly before Oikawa squeaks on the other side of Kiyoomi, making everyone look at him as he looks about in alarm. 

           "S-Something just touched me!" He gasps, gripping Kiyoomi's arm.

           "Oi. Don't cling to me. Get away." Kiyoomi growls. 

           "But I'm scared, Sakusa." He sniffs. 

           "Just get paralyzed already and shut up Shittykawa." Iwaizumi huffs, Bokuto holding onto his sleeve with a small frown. 

            "Yeah don't try to scare everyone." You hum, making Oikawa look at you with a pout. 

            "He's… Not getting paralyzed." Atsumu blinks.

            "I'm immune!" Oikawa chimes.

            "He did hug Sakusa an awful lot when he had amnesia." Osamu comments. 

            "This is your fault." Kiyoomi sends you a frown, making you chuckle sheepishly.

            "S-sorry Kiyoomi." You hum. 

            "Stop clinging to Sakusa. You look lame." Nishinoya says.

            "Bokuto's clinging to Iwa-chan." Oikawa points.

           "No. I'm not scared." Bokuto huffs. 

           "Now now. Let's continue with the story." Daishou smiles. Kuroo shoots him a look, eyes narrowing. "Hm? Why don't you go Kuroo?" 

           "Sure." Kuroo gives a polite smile and you lean forward curiously. He pauses shifting slightly and clearing his throat as he looks away casually. Daishou hums and leans his face against yours.

            "Give us a scary one if you can." Daishou hums. Kuroo sends him a glare at that.

           "Oi oi. Why do you gotta be so close to my kohai?" He scoffs in annoyance. "Go get your own." 

            "Ah but we've already bonded. ___ is going to be my partner after all." Daishou hugs you giving a grin. You blush and chuckle at that, glares starting to pierce Daishou. He just snickers, the glares fueling his mischievous side.

            "___, don't let him tug you around like that." Iwaizumi huffs.

           "But he's the boss." You smirk. "What's wrong? Is the boss too much for you guys?" You tease. They all pause at that, Daishou chuckling while Mika giggles. 

           "... He's a bad influence, get him away from ___." Oikawa tugs Kiyoomi's arm. 

           "Get off!" Kiyoomi growls in annoyance. You pause, glancing over them before reaching over and pulling Kiyoomi into your side, eyes narrowing at Oikawa when he blinks at you. He carefully releases Kiyoomi at that, holding his hands up slightly.

           "Okay. I'll stop." He murmurs. You relax, and pause, meeting Kiyoomi's surprised gaze.

           "You uh… Sounded like you were getting fed up…" You smile, letting him go and looking at the fire. Before anyone else can say anything, a mist swirls up around the group from the lake, the fire dying down to a little flicker, making everyone's heart sink.

            "... Guess that's it for story time. Let's get some-" A giggle sounds behind you, cutting you off. Everyone stands up at that, looking toward the sound. Nothing. You swallow slightly, trying to keep a straight face. (Which you've trained well to slow the onslaught of horror Tendo would put you through just to see your scared face.) "Let's get some sleep." You finish calmly.

           "_-_-_-___ can I sleep in your tent? You're so calm…" Oikawa touches your arm.

           "Sure. But ___ will be in my tent." Kiyoomi states, surprising you. 

           "Th-That's not fair… Please. I'm scared…" Oikawa gives you a look. 

           "Ah… Um…" How could you possibly reject him? He's really freaked out. Kiyoomi steers you away from the group before you can fold.

           "Good luck with that." He tells Oikawa.

          "Is that really good idea Mr. Cautious?" Atsumu huffs.

          "I'm prepared." Kiyoomi answers simply. You blink a few times before smiling a bit. 

          "Wait. Prepared for what exactly?" You ask. He just glances at you before opening his tent and getting in. You crawl in curiously, peering at him. He closes the tent, and you sit across from him. 

          "Before we get to that… Who the hell did that?" He jabs a thumb toward the tent zipper.

           "Not sure but I'm pretty sure Akaashi has a hand in it." You respond. 

           "I do not." Akaashi's voice sounds outside, making you both pause. Kiyoomi unzips the flap and you both peer out to find that some of the others had moved their tents to be closer to your platform.

           "Guys… Some of you are going to tumble down into the lake." You frown just before the twin's tent goes rolling down hill. "Like that…"

           "Dammit Tsumu!" Osamu snaps as they run after it.

           "Don't worry. I got this." Kuroo says, smirking, lifting his arm and lifting the ground up from around the platform and leveling it. 

           "Nice one Kuroo." Mika gives him a thumbs up. 

           "Probably should've done this first." Kuroo chuckles. 

           "You're all being ridiculous." Kiyoomi deadpans.

           "Yeah. Just sleep and you'll be fine." You wave your hand.

           "How can you say that!? This is really creepy!" Oikawa gasps.

           "Ghosts aren't real." You and Kiyoomi state together.

           "Anyway goodnight." You wave again before Kiyoomi zips the tent shut again . You sit back with a small chuckle and Kiyoomi smiles a bit. You lean over toward him, smiling as he pauses and meets your gaze, putting a finger to your lips knowingly. 

            "Behave." He whispers against your ear. "I just hated the thought of someone else cuddling you tonight." You blink in shock at that, sitting back a bit as a grin stretches across your face. 

            "Oh. I see." You chuckle before hugging him. "Does that mean I get to cuddle you all night?" You whisper hopeful. He nods picking up a pill bottle and opening it, taking a pill before putting one to your lips.

            "Yes." He smiles a warm smile as you take the pill and swallow it. 

            "Finally." You both breathe. You pause and chuckle together, foreheads touching. You smile and kiss his lips softly. He hums, fingers combing through your hair before bringing you closer to deepen the kiss.

            'Ew.' A child whispers next to you, making you both freeze and look over to see nothing. You carefully reach over to feel the air, only finding a cold spot.

           "... Time to sleep." You manage, making Kiyoomi hum in agreement.

*+*+*

         "Why are the screens all fuzzy now?" Rakurai frowns, trying to wipe off a screen.

         "Dunno, been like that since the mist rolled in. But look they all gathered on one platform now." Tendo chuckles eating popcorn. "It's really starting to look like a horror movie. I really love stuff like this."

          "Yeah. Did ya see how they all suddenly jumped up together? That was funny." Death snickers. "Poor lads are all terrified now." 

          "I wonder what's going to happen next. Do you think we'll see a ghost?" Tendo hums.

          "That would be so cool!" Rakurai gasps.

          "I hope they see the ghosts first." Death chuckles. 

          "Hm? Where'd that little girl come from?" Tendo points at one of the lake cameras, making the other two freeze and look.

         "... I regret…" Rakurai whispers, getting a chill.

         "Daz such a young lil thing…" Death whispers tearing up.

         "Pull yourselves together guys…" Tendo peeks at their faces in amusement.
