"Bokuto!!" You call up to the sky as you all reach the dorm, at three in the morning. 

           "Shh they're sleep-" You can't hear the rest of what Ryuu was saying as you're swept up into the air. 

          "You took so long to come home!" Bokuto gasps hugging you tightly. You return the hug, nuzzling his neck. 

           "Midnight and Death crashed the test we couldn't leave until they investigated everyone." You tell him as he lands on the dorm with you. 

           "Really? Are you okay?" He pulls back, cupping your cheek.

           "Yeah, everyone is safe and sound. I just… Really need a Bokuto hug right now." You smile tiredly. He blinks, lighting up and hugging you close at that, kissing your cheek.

            "Did you pass at least?" He asks.

           "... I think so." You rest your chin on his chest, looking up into his eyes. "They didn't say anything about it." You pout. He blinks and chuckles, nose brushing yours. 

            "Don't pout, you'll get it either way." He breathes.

            "Were you waiting for me?" You ask. 

           "Yes. How did you know?" He smiles. 

           "I didn't, I just hoped you missed me as much as I missed you." You shrug. 

           "I love you so much." He grins before kissing you deeply.

           "___!-- Bokuto! Get off! ___'s in trouble, remember!?" Oikawa bursts onto the roof. Bokuto holds up a finger to him, humming as he tightens his other arm around you. Oikawa's eye twitches and a rattling sound starts to resonate the area. 

            "Alright alright." Bokuto breaks the kiss grumpily. You blink in a daze before looking at Oikawa in confusion.

            "What did I do?" You ask Oikawa.

            "Come and see." Oikawa gives a chilling smile. You frown uneasily and follow him downstairs and to the lobby as the other first years enter, shooting Bokuto glares. 

            "Hey guys." He waves with a big smile.  

            "You have a guest in the main room. Get rid of him." Oikawa points. You blink at him before going into the main room and finding Ushijima curled up on the couch.

             "Wakatoshi…" You murmur going over and touching his arm kneeling beside the couch. His eyes ease open. ".. What happened? What's wrong?"

           "I cannot sleep at Kuri as punishment…" He says half asleep. You blink, recalling what Shirabu had said during the test. "Tendo said to come here. But if I'm not welcome-"

           "You are. I'll take you in." You smile, rubbing his shoulder. "Come on, this couch isn't big enough for you. You can stay in my room." 

           "Whaaa.." Oikawa objects, as you help Ushijima sit up.

           "Stop being mean." You tell him, helping the big guy pass and going up to your room.

           "I'm sorry for this." Ushijima murmurs to you. 

           "I don't know what you're apologizing for. I don't mind at all. I'm glad you came here." You rub his back. "Stay as long as you need."

           "... Thank you." He looks down as you reach your room. 

           "Need any clothes?" You ask.

           "I brought some, Oikawa wouldn't let me bring my things inside." He murmurs.

           "I'll get them, go ahead and get comfortable." You show him to the bed with a soft smile before heading out and closing the door.

          "I'm not okay with this." Oikawa frowns.

          "Then you can sleep outside. Heartless jerk." You respond with a smile. Your words pierce him and he touches his chest giving you a hurt look. 

          "Jerk…?" He echoes.

          "He got kicked out of the dorms idiot. He tried talking to the headmaster about the quirk biased." You tell him stalking past. He gaps after you before looking to the twins. 

          "Do something!" He whispers pointing after you.

          "Nah. I'm sure it's fine." Osamu shrugs.

          "The guy's huge though, kinda worried he'll flatten us in our fox forms." Atsumu murmurs. They look at each other. "... Yeah let's do that." He nods before they both go downstairs leaving Oikawa utterly lost.

           "What's going on?? I'm the dorm president…" He grumbles, going after you. 

          You pull the luggage inside with a huff, it was heavy. He probably had work out gear in it. "Can't believe this. If I wasn't so damn tired I would give that headmaster a piece of my mind." You growl.

           "So. We'll find a place to sleep for now. But if he's staying we should get him a bed." Osamu says picking up one of the bags.

          "Why not just get him his own room?" Atsumu scoffs grabbing one as well. 

          "Thanks guys. He seems like a nice roommate to have, he's mostly working out half of the time." You smile as you all carry everything upstairs to the room. You place his things in your closet and hug the twins before they head out. You yawn, grabbing your clothes before taking a quick shower.

        You come back out, crawling into bed as Ushijima turns over, eyes opening a bit as you move under the covers. He sleepily touches your arm before closing his eyes again. You pause, wondering if he was half asleep before smiling lightly and moving closer, fingers combing through his hair. "It's going to be alright. I got you." You murmur as his eyes peek open again. He blinks and moves his head, forehead touching your shoulder, letting you comb his hair. You nuzzle his temple and soon drift off at that.

+*+*+*

        "Yer happy boss." Death comments.

        "Of course… I think ___ likes Midnight. You should've seen how those beautiful eyes lit up whenever I restored what was destroyed." Tendo chuckles, smiling as  he scratches at the bandages over his eyes, spots of blood seeping through. "Gotta get used to this though, my eyes really hurt, and the bleeding hasn't stopped… Should've stolen that device…" 

         "Sorry boss, we don't have any doctors here…" Death frowns.

         "I know.. Hmm.. Message Kita." Tendo blindly holds out his phone. "Tell him I would like a spare device and cartridge for ___, just in case." 

         "Roger." Death says doing so.

         "I'll be by later tomorrow to get it.. Now I have an app that'll send that message in the morning. Looks like a clock next to the send button." Tendo instructs.

          "And… Got it boss." Death nods setting up the time. "Ya sure you're okay sleeping at my apartment? I know it probably reeks for ya."

           "I've gotten used to it. It's not much different from when mom was torturing people on the lower levels…" Tendo responds getting up and feeling about. Death tilts his head, watching Tendo for a moment before reaching over and taking the redhead's hand.

          "This way boss. It's the furthest from my room and has a fan in the window." He guides him to the other room. "Oh, and I found that new guy I was tellin you about. That looks like one of ___'s dormmates." He adds, taking him to the bed and putting his hand on it. 

          "Good. It'll be fun to use him." Tendo smiles pulling the covers back before crawling in. 

          "I'll introduce ya when yer eyes are healed, he's a bit green still, but he seems capable… I'll light ya an incense too. All the neighbors moved away because the smell kept them awake so… I hope this helps." Death trails off, lighting a few incense.

          "You don't gotta worry too much about it Kobalt. It doesn't bother me much." Tendo assures. Death glances back at him at that. 

          "Goodnight boss." He says lightly, putting Tendo's phone beside the bed before going out and closing the door. His red eyes soften a bit before he goes to his room, peering out the window and Raizu quietly. "Sleep well kiddos."

*-*-*-*-

          You scroll through the pictures on your phone quietly, fingers combing through Ushijima's hair as he slept partially on top of you, head on your shoulder. It wasn't time to get up, but you had a not so pleasant dream that prompted you to wake. Looking at your pictures was helping put you at ease.

          "I need more pictures…" You mutter, stopping on one with you and Tendo, a recent one. You blink, bringing your phone closer as someone in the background catches your eye. "Death…?" You squint. That was weird, wasn't that in the city? A frown crosses your lips and you set your phone to the side, turning slightly to put your other arm around Ushijima's neck, closing your eyes. You sigh quietly, frowning heavily to yourself. Ushijima's head tilts back and you open your eyes to meet his.

          "Something wrong…?" He asks quietly.

         "No… Just, tired still.." You offer a small smile. He blinks, hand moving up to comb through your hair quietly before shifting and bringing your head to his chest. You blink in surprise, blushing lightly.

          "Go back to sleep." He breathes, closing his eyes, fingers still combing through your hair, steadily easing you back to sleep. 

         "I hate it. Someone please do something." Oikawa pouts peering into the room.

         "Damn them.." Atsumu growls. "Not that they're cute together or anything." He grumbles. 

         "That looks like a nice cuddle sleep…" Bokuto frowns in jealousy.

         "You guys need to get out of my doorway." Osamu says with a slightly annoyed expression. They move and Osamu goes over to your bedside. "___, Samu food." He says lightly.

          "Samu food…" You wake slightly, looking over at him, making Ushijima wake also.

          "Yeah, I'm about to start cooking. So wake up soon so you can have it fresh." Osamu murmurs, kissing your temple before going back out. You stretch a bit at that, not really wanting to get up still, sighing quietly. Ushijima peeks at your face quietly before looking at the doorway, others peering in with glares. 

          "I think they're waiting for you." He comments, making you look over now. You puff your cheeks out at them before tossing a pillow.

         "Come on ___, we're supposed to be updated about the license test soon." Nishinoya tells you.

          "Fine… When do I get a sleep day…" You sit up with a grumble. 

         "Have you not been sleeping well?" Ushijima asks, sitting up and tilting his head. 

         "Not really? Been so tired when I wake…" You rub your eyes.

        "You should join me on a jog tonight then. It might help." He tells you. 

        "Sure we can try that." You nod.

        "So we're just going to keep Ushijima now?" Kuroo comments peering in. "That'll be different. What did you do big guy?" He asks.

         'Made him sound like a puppy…' You blink at Kuroo.

         "I may have angered the headmaster, but I haven't been kicked out of the school at least." Ushijima answers, holding up a thumb. They all blink at him at that. Oikawa suddenly makes a mischievous face at that.

          "Sounds like you should come to Raizu." Oikawa snickers. Ushijima's eyes narrow at him and the others slowly turn to look at him. "I might enjoy this after all…" Oikawa chuckles walking down the hall.

           "I'm concerned about Ushijima's safety now." Nishinoya tells you.

           "I see fire in our future suddenly." Kuroo sighs following after Oikawa.

           "Sounded like Tendo…" You and Ushijima mutter before looking at each other.

           "Is this really okay?" Ushijima asks you.

           "You have another option?" You respond with a head tilt. 

           "No…" He looks down. 

           "Then it's fine. I would worry about you if you were out on your own." You tip his chin up to get him to meet your gaze. "I think it'll be nice having you around the dorm. So don't worry about this." You smile. He blinks before nodding, resting his chin in your hand.

           "Thank-" You put a finger to his lips, silencing him. 

           "Let's eat." You chuckle getting out of bed and heading downstairs with him. 

           "Finally awake I see." Osamu gives you your plate.

          "Samu food." You give a thumbs up.

          "Mhm mhm. Samu food." Bokuto nods as Ushijima sits beside you.

          "Is that another language?" Ushijima murmurs to Sakusa.

          "No, that's just them…" Sakusa responds. 

          "Alright. Now we can talk about the camping trip!" Oikawa chimes.

          "But we don't know if we passed." You point out.

          "Of course you did." Oikawa and Ushijima state together. There's a brief uncomfortable silence between them at that. 

          "Pfft." Iwaizumi puts his shirt collar over his nose in a feeble attempt to hide his snickering. 

          "... If you're staying here then you get cleaning duty." Oikawa points at Ushijima.

          "Don't bully my guest Dorm President." You scold, bringing Ushijima's head to your shoulder.

          "It's fine." Ushijima blinks at you. "I can handle something minimal like that."

          "I still think he's being uncalled for." You scoff.

          "Uncalled for? He's uncalled for!" Oikawa protests. 

          "No you are. Ushijima is just sweet. Not a pompous jerk." You point at Oikawa. His brown eyes narrow, fingers tapping on the table. 

          "Okay. Let's take a step back." Iwaizumi speaks up. 

          "More like let's take a step outside." Oikawa breathes.

          "Fine." You get up as he does. 

          "Wait wait guys, come on it's too early for this." Atsumu grabs your waist.

          "___ just needs a bit of a reminder is all." Oikawa hums leading the way out. You pat Atsumu's head before going after Oikawa.

          "Geez…" Sakusa sighs.

          "Shouldn't we stop this?" Daichi looks at Iwaizumi. 

          "If they wanted to listen we'd still be eating." Iwaizumi sighs. Ushijima shifts and stands before following you out.

          You and Oikawa face each other, gazes locked. There's a rattle of chains as they leave his back. You shift and remove your glove. A gust sends some leaves between you two and you suddenly lunge at him as chains fly at you. You twist about, bursting them. Your hand touches the ground, bursting the area. You flip to the side, narrowly dodging a sweeping chain. Your foot touches the ground and you lunge forward at where you could hear the chains coming from, fist flashing out. He catches it calmly, chains wrapping around you in an instant.

            You twist, kicking him back as you burst the chains. He touches his stomach briefly before pointing at you, sending out a dagger. You point back, the dagger meeting your fingertip and bursting. You flip to the side to avoid another burst of chains and pivot to swing at him again. He dodges grabbing your wrist and flipping you over his shoulder into a waiting net of chains. You twist your right hand about, bursting the chains as you hit them, swiftly spinning about and swiping his legs out from under him. His chains catch him and he flips away chains coming out more rapidly, striking you and putting your right arm behind your back to keep you from bursting anything else. 

          Oikawa suddenly steps toward you, making you flinch and close your eyes. He blinks and cups your face. "I'm not going to hit you silly." He smiles softly when you open your eyes again. "Sorry if I got rough. I just wanted to remind you who I am." He tilts his head as the chains release you. "Ushijima can stay forever for all I care. But I'm not going to try to get along with him." His eyes narrow slightly. "He's still someone I'm going to beat." 

          "Okay…. I'm sorry…" You frown.

          "Give me a kiss and I'll forgive you." He beams.

           "Not with Ushijima watching…" You grumble with a blush. He blinks and looks over at Ushijima.

           "Go away! We're having a moment!" He snaps. 

           "Sorry. Just wanted to make sure ___ didn't get hurt." Ushijima raises his hand slightly before heading inside.

           "Honestly why do you people think so poorly of m-... Mmm.." He relaxes when you lean up and kiss him. 

           "Better? Are we good now?" You ask, pulling back.

           "Maybe… After like… Ten more of those." He smirks leaning forward.

           "Oikawa!" You cover his mouth swiftly. He grumbles against your palm and you can feel him pout against your palm. "Really you're the worst."

           "Why do you always gotta hurt me like that…" He pouts more, hugging you close. He hums a bit, before deciding to sing to you quietly, making you blush. "Let me love you~ And I will love you~ until you learn to love yourself~" You hide your face in his chest and he chuckles softly with a smile. "Stop being cute, I'm trying to serenade you."

           "You stop. I didn't get to finish my breakfast." You murmur, hiding your face in embarrassment. "My god you're such a sap."

           "Yeah. That's why you're stuck to me now." He chuckles, holding you and hobbling for the door. "I'll make you a new breakfast then." He grins as he pulls you along inside. He cuts through the dining room and into the kitchen with you cheerfully.

            "... Weren't they just fighting outside?" Nishinoya remarks.

           "They were. Oikawa won." Ushijima hums eating.

          "They made up fast." Ryuu remarks.

          "I thought it was going to be worse than when ___ and Sakusa were fighting." Atsumu admits.

         "We weren't fighting, we were just… Loudly disagreeing." Sakusa says.

         "Pretty sure ___ almost obliterated a course because of that last disagreement." Nishinoya mutters. Sakusa twitches and looks away at that.

         "And the toxins Sakusa was letting off were very potent." Osamu rubs his nose at the memory.

         "Think you two fighting was worse than when ___ was mad at us for kidnapping Tendo." Iwaizumi tilts his head.

          "I'm surprised he hasn't come by yet since Ushijima is here…" Atsumu comments.

          "Probably a lot going on at Kuri too." Ryuu hums.

*+*+*+*+*

         "Hey boss, I made ya break--" Death freezes, eyes widening as he opens the doors. "Shit. Boss!? Boss!" He puts the plate down going over to Tendo and removing the blood soaked bandage from around his head. "Tendo! Open yer eyes!" He tries to clean off the other's face, making Tendo grunt swiping his hands.

          "What?" Tendo's eyes open into slits, heavily bloodshot eyes looking up at him, both of his irises are a whitish color. 

          "Shit… Can you see me?" Death breathes.

          "Not really…" Tendo closes his eyes. "How bad do they look?"

          "Not good boss… Ya also look like you were dunking yet head in blood." Death informs.

          "I figured. You sounded worried, Kobalt." Tendo teases with a smirk. 

          "Well yeah it looked like yer freaking head exploded. Gave me a fright for a moment ya goblin." Death scoffs standing up. 

          "Goblin? Heh that sounds weird coming from a reaper." Tendo chuckles.

          "That woulda been a much cooler name." Death tilts his head in thought. "Anyway I'ma get a rag ta clean ya up a bit so ya can eat. You should probably sleep today too." 

           "Alright. Just message back ___ if they send anything."

           "Yes boss."
