Tendo woke up before everyone, glancing around the crowded room and blinking in surprise. You had told him about this before, but it really was a sight to see. He turns his head, finding you fast asleep with the fox twins in your arms and Bokuto cuddling up to you from behind. So cute and precious. His eyes soften as he watches you sleep. He didn't care if they clung to you, even kissed you. He just wanted to stay a part of your life for as long as he could. If he ended up with you on his arm, he would be able to say his life was well spent. Even if he had a mountain of bodies at his back. All of it would be worth it, if he could have you in the end.

           Atsumu sneezes, jolting you and Osamu awake. You blink a few times and chuckle softly, petting the fox softly. Your eyes trail to Tendo's and you pause. 

           "Good morning love." Tendo greets with a small smile.

           "Good morning. Are you feeling better?" You ask. 

           "I feel… Like I got turned into a burrito." He looks down at the blankets. "Oh… I recognize this." He grins. "From when I got sick and stayed over." He chuckles.

           "You kept trying to cuddle me so I had to restrain you." You remember sitting up. "But then you started rolling over me and saying you were a steam roller." 

            "You were like a squeaky toy when I did it too." He laughs. You both pause and you suddenly hold him down before he can roll over you, Bokuto and the foxes. His arm slips out of the blankets, pulling you over himself and wrapping his arms and legs around you, covering your cheek with kisses and making you giggle.

              "Tendo! S-stop! That tickles!" You laugh trying to get free. "Y-You're like a snake!"

              "Bleh." He flicks his tongue at you. 

              "Gah! Nu!" You chuckle, tears coming to your eyes as you laugh harder since he starts to tickle. 

               "So cute! You're so cute!" He gushes, laughing as he stops tickling you, smiling at your face in amusement. "I love you." He cuddles you happily. He pauses and looks over. "Oh, good morning everyone." 

              "You two sure are being cute first thing in the morning." Kuroo comments.

              "I'm not jealous. Nope not at all…" Atsumu grumbles to himself. 

              "He didn't lick you did he? Sanitize." Sakusa wipes an alcohol pad on your face. You chuckle lightly at that. 

              "No but thanks for this." You hum, smiling at him.

              "... I want to-"

              "No Oikawa." Iwaizumi frowns at him.

              "I'm going to make breakfast." Osamu decides, getting up.

              "Samu food!" You and Bokuto cheer. Tendo chuckles and releases you so you can get up.

              "Come on Tendo." You grin before following Bokuto out. Tendo watches you disappear with a smile, the others following you out. Sakusa shifts, rubbing his neck and making Tendo look over at him.

              "You've relaxed a bit Sakusa. Did the amnesia show you a whole new side of things?"  Tendo asks. 

              "Maybe… Sure let me see what it would be like if I wasn't so… Guarded around ___…" He says looking to the side.

              "Really? ___ hasn't really told me about much of that actually? Only about the kisses." Tendo smirks while Sakusa turns pink.

           "... ___ knows a lot about me and I had no idea they were paying attention." Sakusa murmurs.

           "I knew. ___ always paid extra attention to you. Even if ___ wasn't aware of it…" Tendo starts to smile, chuckling lightly. "You know, when we were kids, the best way to get ___ out of a bad mood was to tell a new fact about you. Would act like they didn't care and then peer at me curiously to find out how I knew. So cute." He glances at Sakusa who had moved a hand in front of his face in happy embarrassment.

           "I had no idea…" Sakusa murmurs.

           "That's because both of you were avoiding each other." Tendo recalls. "And ___ was so terrified of getting close to anyone else… but if it was something important to them, ___ can't help but memorize things about it…. ___ can tell you things about some of our outings that I overlooked or don't remember. I'm sure there's a lot more that ___ knows about you than you realize. Because you've always been important to ___." 

            "... You're saying a lot today." Sakusa comments, still blushing lightly.

            "I just love talking about ___. The best thing that ever happened to me." Tendo smiles at the ground. "So thank you Sakusa. Even though I envy you sometimes, I wouldn't be happy if you hadn't been there for ___ when they needed someone most." 

             "Are..  You okay Tendo?" Sakusa asks him carefully. Tendo blinks back and looks over at him. 

             "Yeah. Am I worrying even you, Sakusa? I should probably stop getting sentimental then. Let's go eat." Tendo gets up and stretches before leading him out. 

           "Tendo! Sit with me!" You wave once they come to the dining room. Tendo smiles and joins you happily, giving you a hug. "What took ya so long?"

           "Sakusa wanted to chat my ear off." Tendo gasps. Sakusa gives him a look at that and you laugh.

           "Lucky. I never get chatty Sakusa." You joke.

           "Oi…" Sakusa huffs.

           "Oh. Well that's because you two haven't hung out since he got his memories back." Tendo pulls away in thought. "Isn't your license test tomorrow?" He tilts his head.

           "Oh shit. It is." You gasp. "Wakatoshi told me about that too." 

           "Wakatoshi…" Oikawa frowns lightly, puffing his cheeks.

           "Oh, did I say his first name?" You put a hand over your mouth.

           "You did, and it sounded really cute. He wouldn't mind if you called him by his first name too." Tendo chuckles in amusement.

           "Okay… Anyway. He said the first half is battle royale and the second half is rescuing the failed opponents." You recall. "So I don't gotta study." You grin doing finger guns. 

          "You're so damn cute…" Tendo sighs. 

          "Sounds easy enough." Atsumu comments. 

          "Yeah. You would've failed a written portion." Osamu hums, bringing in the food, earning a glare from his twin.

          "You first years have today off to get ready for it." Iwaizumi informs. 

          "Should probably hit the courses then." You breathe in thought. "I'm still not happy that glow water bastard got away…" You frown, looking at your right hand. Tendo blinks at you and kisses your cheek.

          "You did great. Way better than me." He smiles when you look at him. "Don't over do it. You should probably get some more canisters-- Nevermind." He chuckles, focusing on eating. 

          "Kita's coming over isn't he?" You guess.

          "... Stop reading my mind. I told you that's a bad idea." Tendo objects.

          "Why- oh…" You trail off and he turns pink, straightening up.

          "D-Don't even act like you're reading them!" He protests in embarrassment.

          "Tendo…" You give a disapproving tone, hiding a smile behind your hand.

          "Don't make me tickle you, ___.” He warns. 

          "Okay okay… It's been so long since I picked on you. It's still really cute when you get worked up." You chuckle. He puffs his cheeks slightly at that. You smile in amusement, kissing his cheeks in response. 

          "... Stop being cute at the table." Iwaizumi tells you two. 

         "Sorry." You both say and focus on eating. Tendo is the first to finish, never having a big appetite.

         "Oh. Look ___, the twins are apart." Tendo smirks a bit. You pause as some confused glances peer your way. You sit up and look at Tendo.

         "I had a dream about that last night." You say, making him blink in surprise.

         "Eh? The whole thing?" He tilts his head.

         "Mhm. It's weird though, I have no idea what triggered it." You hum, eating. He sits back watching you for a moment before looking down and smiling to himself.

          "Yeah. Weird." He breathes.

          After breakfast, everyone starts to break up, and Tendo makes a call. "I'm going to head back to Kuri now."

          "Eh? But… It's not safe for you to go alone." You frown.

          "I knew you would say that. And that's why…" He looks to the entrance as there's a knock on the door. You blink and go over to answer it.

           "Oh. Morning Wakatoshi." You greet.

           ".. Pardon?" He seemed a bit taken aback.

           "Awe. You surprised him." Tendo chuckles, stepping beside you. "Sorry, I rubbed off on ___." He adds to Ushijima.

           "That's fine. Just caught me off guard." Ushijima responds. "Good morning to you by the way." He nods to you.

           "Thanks for coming to escort Tendo back. And Tendo, I want to know how you got in that situation." You say to him.

           "Of course. I'll tell you later. Have a good day. And good luck tomorrow." He hugs you, peeking about briefly. "Wakatoshi look outside at that hawk." He says. Ushijima blinks and looks out at the sky in confusion while Tendo kisses you tenderly. "I'll see you later." He breathes before heading out. "Oh, guess it flew away." He comments to Ushijima, smiling at the clear sky.

           "Why did you tell me to look for a hawk?" Ushijima asks, walking after him. You chuckle and close the door at that. Tendo chuckles looking back at the door briefly.

            "I forgot… You still having those weird dreams about turning into dust?" He asks Ushijima.

            "Hm? When did I have those?" Ushijima becomes further confused. Tendo's eyes widen before he smiles widely.

            "Nevermind. Hey Wakatoshi let's train together. I need to get stronger."

            "Hm? Okay."

           "So guys listen." Ryuu waves over the first years after the second years leave. "I heard that if we all pass, the second years will take us on a camping trip." He breathes grinning. You grin and look at Sakusa who's brow twitches.

            "Ew…" Sakusa murmurs.

            "That sounds awesome." Atsumu gasps.

            "Right!?" Nishinoya grins.

            "Last time I went camping was on one of Tendo's spontaneous dates. We were not prepared at all. And then he started howling, and a nearby pack responded so we ended up sleeping in a tree… The sunrise was beautiful though." You recall with a chuckle.

             "You two have the most interesting stories." Osamu comments with a jealous frown. 

            "Oh, you don't know the half of them." You chuckle lightly. "Camping with a bunch of people sounds really fun though."

             "I want smores…" Osamu breathes.

            "We gotta pass first." Atsumu reminds him.

            "If it's a battle royale, we can easily win working as a team, taking turns taking out opponents…." You hum. "Actually. Let's go to the big course. Pretty sure it has an Armageddon level we can activate and see how we do against the robots." 

            "... That sounds fun." Ryuu and Atsumu grin.

            "Sounds chaotic." Osamu and Sakusa comment.

            "We should be careful though, Kiyoko has class now." Nishinoya says.

            "Yeah, and I only got one and a half canisters for the device Kita made me." You hum. 

            "You should name it." Atsumu says.

            "Hmm... I got nothing." Your shoulders slump. 

            "The Kita device." Atsumu says.

            "... That's the same as before." Sakusa huffs. 

            "How about In-healer." Atsumu chuckles. Sakusa facepalms at that with a sigh. You snort and look away in amusement, making Atsumu's face light up.

            "I'm disowning you for that dumbass pun." Osamu shakes his head.

            "The In-healer." You snicker.

            "No ___ don't encourage the lame jokes." Osamu huffs.

            "I was about to say that exact same thing." Sakusa says. 

            "Shut up. ___ liked it." Atsumu grins happily at that.

            "You're such a dork." You chuckle. "I'll just call it K.K." You decide.

            "What does that stand for?" Nishinoya tilts his head like a puppy.

            "Dunno." You lie with a shrug.

            "___, Kita's here." Kenma says, looking toward the entrance with his odd eyes.

            "Why are you using your eyes?" Atsumu asks as you get up. 

            "Just checking." Kenma shrugs.

            You go out and to the main door, opening it to receive a soft knock on your forehead. "... Good morning to you too." 

            "Sorry. I didn't know you were going to open the door right then." He blinks. "I brought you more canisters. How's Tendo?"

            "Thanks. And he's good, left a little bit ago. Your canisters are really helpful. His broken leg healed in about twenty minutes. Although he uh, kinda kept falling asleep after that." You say hugging him tightly. "Thank you so much Kita. I mean it." You breathe. He hugs you back, rubbing your back lightly.

            "I keep telling you there's no need for thanks. I just like seeing you healthy." He murmurs. "Sometimes I worry about you, you're not even a pro but you're always facing some kind of dangerous villain. I would be… Sad if something happened to you." 

            "Awe… You're so sweet." You give him a smile before leaning up to kiss his cheek but he moves quickly to kiss your lips instead, making you blush.

            "That's because I keep stealing kisses from you." He smiles. 

             "... Kita…" You hide your face in his chest at that, making him smile lightly. 

             "Oi get away from ___ ya sneaky silver fox." Atsumu says poking his head into the lobby with a frown. 

             "I'm just about to leave. No need to get jealous, red fox." Kita responds calmly.

             "I'm not jealous!" Atsumu grumbles his protest. Kita shakes his head as you pull away, cupping your cheek.

             "I'll see you again soon. Be safe." He tells you before heading off.

             "So, we're good to go?" Nishinoya asks peering into the lobby too.

             "Yeah. Let's suit up and go check out that Armageddon level." You toss them a smile. 

             The first years of Dorm One gather in front of the large doors to the big course. Akaashi passes out earpieces to everyone in case you get separated. You input the code near the door. "Just stay together and we'll be fine." You hum. The doors ease open to darkness. 

         "That's ominous…" Atsumu breathes.

         "I think I like it." Sakusa comments.

         "This is a bit scary… Let's go!" You chime running in with Nishinoya fearlessly.

         "... I'm amazed and horrified by them." Akaashi comments.

         "___…” Sakusa sighs going into the darkness swiftly.

         "He did not hesitate to follow." Futakuchi comments, Aone shaking his head quietly.         

         "I'm a bit worried." Kenma breathes. Akaashi glances at him before cocking his shotgun. 

         "Stay behind me." He says before heading in. Kenma blinks, lighting up slightly before following him in.

         "He's so cool." Ryuu and Osamu breathe.

         "... Tch… Wait up!" Atsumu hurries in with the rest.

         The darkness fades away, a reddish orange sky lighting up the room, robots of all shapes and sizes surrounding the group, giant ones move in the background.

          "Holy shit." Atsumu breathes.

          "They're moving!" Akaashi calls, shooting one in the head that lunged at Sakusa.

          "Right." Sakusa breathes spinning the chamber on his arm before firing a canister into a more crowded area, it explodes on impact, melting numerous robots.

          You and Nishinoya exchange a glance, rushing forward together, his deity forms, smacking a number of them back with a wind blast before picking you up and throwing you into another crowd. Your blades come out, lodging themselves into a robot's head. You kick off its chest, spinning about and severing a few heads you land, deftly slashing at the joints around you, making the batch of robots crumble. 

          Akaashi flips over a big one nearby, shooting off it's head before landing at your back. His arm comes around your waist to keep you in place, rolling a grenade under the robot's legs, before turning with you a metal shield leaving a slot in his back. He uses it to shield you both from the blast, robot parts flying past you both.

         "Oh wow Akaashi." You murmur in awe, blushing lightly. 

         "You're enjoying this a bit too much." He breathes. 

         "You're just so cool…" You put your hands on cheeks. 

         "Focus." He releases you as two large flaming foxes burst past, crashing into the robots that rushed you two. The twins change forms, switching sides and ripping through the enemies. "They look like they're having fun."

           "Kinda makes me want to step it up too." You chuckle, pulling your glove off with your teeth. Akaashi pauses, watching you for a moment. "What?" You ask. He shakes his head and mutters something before turning and firing at a charging robot. It doesn't slow it's charge so spin around Akaashi, raising your arm and bursting it as it nears.

           "You're getting really good at that." He comments, peering at your face, chest pressing against your back. 

           "Yeah I don't fall apart as quickly now. Still kinda hurts though." You smile a bit.

           "Hey ___! That big one's getting close!" Ryuu calls, gaining your attention. You look between him and the big one before you both grin.

            "Mine!" You and Ryuu claim, running for it.

            "They're so hyper." Kenma murmurs, firing at some of the nearby robots.

            "Well… This is kind of fun." Akaashi admits quietly, watching after you with a small smile. 

            "I'll steal that one." Sakusa fires a sharpened canister into the giant robot's head, making it melt. You and Ryuu pause, jumping out of the way as the giant robot falls.

            "Sakusa you thief!" You and Ryuu yell at him in a huff. Sakusa and Akaashi chuckle at that, Akaashi taking out a few that threatened your back. 

            "Whoa! The twins started a fire tornado over there!" Nishinoya gasps pointing.

           "That looks so cool!" You gasp, jumping onto the defeated giant. 

           "That's dangerous, do they even know how to control that?" Sakusa huffs firing another canister at an approaching group of robots.

           "Probably not, might want to avoid that all together." Akaashi comments, joining you on the robot, throwing a few grenades. 

           "Wish we had some actual opponents. It's not really challenging when we don't have to hold back." You breathe, bursting a few nearby ones.

           "That's true." Akaashi nods.

           "How about some of us play the enemy?" Nishinoya grins. "I get Sakusa!"

           "That sounds fun actually. I'll fight you guys." You smile.

           "I'm with ___.” Akaashi decides.

           "... Can I just fight the robots…?" Kenma frowns lightly.

           "Sure." You pat his head. "Keep them off of us."

           "Well, looks like Aone's on that team. I'll join you." Futakuchi comments, leaning on the robot as Aone points at you.

           "I'm fighting ___!" Ryuu and Atsumu declare.

           "I'll back you up." Osamu tells you.

           "Alright. On the mark…." You pull your glove back on, blades coming out. The two teams face each other while Kenma busies himself with handling the robots. A laser slices the ground between the teams and everyone suddenly moves. Atsumu and Ryuu lunge at you but Futakuchi and Akaashi get in their way. Futakuchi gives Atsumu what seemed like a light push, but sent him flying. Akaashi knocking Ryuu back with his shield.

           You spin around Akaashi, catching the canister Sakusa had fired and throwing it at Some before it busts. You and Sakusa lock eyes and you feel a smirk form on your lips.

           "Come for me." He breathes quietly but you hear him loud and clear.

           Takeda rushes into the course lobby, frowning worriedly. "Why would they use the Armageddon level!" He gasps and pauses, finding Ukai watching the main screen calmly. "Are they okay?"

           "They're better than okay. They got tired of fighting the robots and now they're all fighting each other in teams." Ukai breathes. "It's hard to believe these are some amateur first years. They fight like pros and they're growing so fast…"

            "Is it hard to believe? With what they've been through?" Takeda murmurs.

            "No… But I'm curious about what kinds of kids we'll get next year." Ukai smiles a bit. "Even if the world suddenly devolves tomorrow, I think these kids will rise above it."

            "In that case. We'll have to power up the Armageddon level." Takeda smiles, relaxing a bit. 

            It took an hour before the fight ends with a draw. You fall back, head smacking on a robot arm. "Ow…" You grumble. Most of the stronger robots were unlucky enough to get caught up in the fight, promptly getting destroyed. The level was pretty much cleared now.

           "Come here." Akaashi moves his arm under your head as he lays nearby. You shift closer to him and relax.

           "Sakusa punches like a moose." You huff.

          "Excuse me?..." Sakusa huffs, sitting back against another robot. "That punch was meant for Akaashi.

          "I know. I had to protect my partner." You retort.

          "Thank you." Akaashi hums.

          "I can't feel my hands." Osamu says, sprawled out somewhere close by. "Are they still frozen?" 

         "Looks like it." Kenma comments.

         "I got whiplash from frickin Futakuchi." Atsumu complains.

         "That was fun." Futakuchi smirks.

         "I'm still nauseous from Noya spinning me around." Ryuu says, sounding like he was going to vomit. 

         "I can't move now." Nishinoya grumbles into the ground.

         "Dibs." You sit up at that, trying to get up and falling over. Akaashi catches you and you both go down. "Still got dibs! I'll carry you when I can Noya." You declare, resting your head on Akaashi's chest.

         "Awesome." Noya chuckles.

         "So. Who was the most badass just now?" Atsumu hums.

         "Akaashi." You and Kenma say.

         "He didn't even get hurt." Kenma hums.

         "Of course not, ___ was acting like a human shield." Sakusa scoffs.

         "I am the meatest shield." You smile. 

         "... Damn. I'm too tired to make a joke about that." Atsumu sighs.

         "Thank god.." Sakusa and Osamu mutter.

         "I thought ___ was really cool." Akaashi comments, making you pause and peer at his face, pink dusts his cheeks and he avoids your gaze. "You've gotten really good with those blades."

          "Yeah. And when you started to hit back Sakusa's canisters, that was a real pain." Ryuu hums.

          "I'm going to have to do something about that." Sakusa comments.

          "Hey. Is it just me or does ___'s suit kinda remind you of Midnight's?" Atsumu says suddenly. There's a pause at that and you frown lightly. 

          "Well, it's a smart design. Flexible but strong, blades for close combat and defense." You point out.

          "True…" Atsumu hums distractedly.

          "You better not start on your conspiracy theory crap again." Osamu huffs.

          "I'm not. I just noticed it while we were fighting is all." Atsumu hums. You yawn and sit up again, looking at your arms quietly before getting up and going to Nishinoya. 

          "Alright, let's go buddy." You flip him onto his back and pick him up, his head resting on your chest.

           "___… I didn't mean anything by it, don't be mad." Atsumu frowns up at you from the ground nearby.

           "I'm not mad. Just too tired to process that right now. I feel gross so I'm going to shower after I get Nishinoya in his room." You assure, starting for the doors that had been open since the level got completed. The others manage to get to their feet and follow you out.

           You reach the dorms, getting greeted by the second years when you enter. "Wow. You guys look rough. How many courses did you go through?" Kuroo chuckles.

            "One." You and Kenma answer.

            "Ohh, you must've went to the Armageddon level right?" Oikawa smiles.

            "Oikawa is really familiar with that one." Iwaizumi comments as Nishinoya gets down from your arms.

             "Yeah. We got bored so we fought each other." Nishinoya chuckles grinning.

             "So much fun." Futakuchi hums going by.

             "Pretty sure that guy's a sadist." Atsumu comments, glaring after him.

             "Geez you guys did that to each other? No wonder you look rough." Iwaizumi huffs.

             "I want to nap." You yawn, trying to go up the stairs but almost fall over. Akaashi smoothly catches you, picking you up and going up the stairs calmly. "Whoa… Akaashi." You cover your blushing face.

              "What? I'm in good condition right now thanks to you." He blinks at you. 

              "That guy's so smooth…" Atsumu growls.

              "He's also really shy so I think we'll be fine." Bokuto chuckles lightly.

            "Sorry. I don't believe that after seeing them fight together." Osamu states. 

            "I got jealous a few times watching them." Nishinoya admits.

            "Huh?" 

            Akaashi sets you down once you reach your room and you stretch, yawning quietly. "Thanks Akaashi, you're the best." You send him a smile. He gives a small smile in return. 

            "You sure think a lot of me." He comments straightening up. "Don't fall asleep in the shower." He adds, wiping a smidge of dirt from your cheek. You tense slightly at that, blinking at him. "What's that look? You're giving me some really interesting ones today." A hint of amusement comes to his eyes. 

            "Oh. Am I? Wasn't aware." You stammer, looking to the side. He hums and pulls away.

            "Let's work hard tomorrow too." He breathes before heading out. You blush heavily, and bow your head.

            "That one is definitely not good for my heart either…." You grumble.
