"So… Sounds like your brother has some… Issues." Oikawa comments. Everyone had gathered in the living room to hear your findings. 

           "A lot of them. I can't blame him. But I still don't understand why he's attacking me and why now." You sigh, shrugging. "Hibarida said to leave it to the pros but… We all know what good that does us… So let's get ready for a fight." You frown.

           "Right." They nod in response.

          "So let's list what we know about burst… Lightning has a bad effect on the user if you hit the hand it leaves. You cannot burst large objects without unraveling, though there have been a few times I was fine after, it's not very solid when I'll start to unravel. Unless he has a way to repair himself like I do he'll probably fight carefully. Unraveling also keeps me from using my quirk again until I'm back together. And even that hurts like hell." You touch your right arm.

          "So our goal in that fight is to force him to come undone. Burst is ineffective against plasma shields so we need to get some of those…" You murmur.

          "Wait. We're going to make him… Burst?" Bokuto clarifies.

          "Don't worry, I should be able to stop it. He'll be fine. Once I do we'll have to put a titanium mitt on his hand to keep the quirk out of the way. Like Claw did with mine." You tell them. 'But if he hurts any of you, I can just let him disappear.' You think silently. 

          "Oh okay good. I was worried about that." Bokuto relaxes with a smile. "I mean. He's still related to you even if he's bad. I'd hate it if we ended up killing him."

           The others nod in agreement with him and you blink. How sweet… How naive. You look down still thinking to yourself. 

           "Shouldn't you try to talk things out with him?" Akaashi asks you.

           "Did you see how he greeted me? If my instincts hadn't told me to stop him I don't think any of us would be here right now." You remind him. "If he was there to talk I would've done it in a different way…" 

           "... Let's not forget, he wasn't alone. And I'm sure that the meteor they came down because of a quirk. And if we hadn't reacted then we wouldn't be here either." Iwaizumi adds.

           "They came out to destroy. But I don't like thinking that ___ was the only reason." Kuroo frowns. "The fact they never showed up again means that they're wary of Midnight's involvement too. If they were set on ___ they would've attacked again or shown up."

           "There were a few rich people in the VIP lounge. That was located on our side of the stadium too." Tendo speaks up. "If Kage was taken in by an organization we should try to find out which one so we can narrow it down and find their true goal."

          "More fucking villain organizations…" You groan covering your face. "Why are there so many…?" 

          "Well, we know Midnight is at least on our side." Bokuto sits up. "And honestly, I'd like to have him nearby if ___'s brother- Kage shows up again. If there's another deadlock I don't think we'll be able to do anything even if we have a lightning quirk with us."

          "We can't do that. I'm sure he'll use it as an opportunity to get ___ on his side." Akaashi points out. You put a hand over your mouth in thought.

          "Let him." You drop your hand. "I agree with Bokuto… Besides Midnight knows how to deal with, burst. I'd feel better if we could get his help too." 

          "... I hate it. But… You're right." Kiyoomi sighs. "If we're taking on a villain with burst. Midnight might be our best bet to keep him at bay." 

          "So… How exactly do we get a hold of Midnight?" Nishinoya asks.

          "I'll look for him tomorrow." You decide nodding. "If I can find Death I can find him."

          "You're going alone?" The twins frown heavily. 

          "I'll be fine." You assure.

          "Yeah ___'s safe with them." Oikawa nods thoughtfully. "Oh. Mika left something with us." He tells you, going out and bringing you a wrapped box shaped present. 

          "Aw the paintings." You gasp as he sets it down. You rip the paper off to reveal a stack of canvases. The top one makes you stop and tear up. "Guys look...It's Marie." You breathe smiling as they gather around. It was a picture of Marie running forward through the darkness glowing with a golden light, transparent wings stretched out.

           "... Let's put it in the hallway." Oikawa whispers, picking it up and taking it to hang it up. You smile peering at the next one.

           "Look Tsumu, it's us back on the island." You murmur. "That's such a pretty sunset we're watching."

           "Yeah… Its going in the room." He grins setting it to the side. "And there's the Osamu one…" He scowls at the next one, setting it to the side to show the last one that makes everyone freeze and you blush. 

          "Oh…" You cover your cheeks to fight down the blush. It was a beautiful underwater painting of yours and Daishou's accidental kiss. 

          "I hate it." Kuroo and Oikawa say together. 

          "I love it. It's going in the room." You pick it up. 

          "Wait! When did you two-"

          "D-Don't worry about that." You respond.

          "Damn snake." Kuroo growls. 

          Tendo chuckles following you up to your room. "Mika sure put a lot of care in that one." He says as you both enter your room. He pauses briefly to close the door and lock it. 

           "Well, she says she ships us so… She probably just loved painting it." You hum quietly, finding a place to hang it up by the window. He moves behind you, arms wrapping around your waist, chin resting on your shoulder as you finish placing the painting. 

           "Think she would do one for us?" He asks softly.

           "Maybe I could ask." You tilt your head.

           "She really captured how soft your skin looks." He breathes looking at the portrait. "Can I compare?" He peeks at you, lifting up your shirt slightly. 

            "Tendo…" You blush lightly, pulling your shirt down.

            "I just want to touch ___.” He murmurs, turning you to him. "Please?" He tilts his head. "You can touch me too." He moves your hand under his shirt carefully.

           "B-Behave Tendo." You stammer blushing as he guides your hand up his stomach.

           "Just look at me. I want all of your attention right now." He smiles, removing his shirt. You blush heavily watching him.

           "T-Tendo what are you doing?" You question his sudden change in behavior. 

           "Making you look at me." He smiles, leaning forward. "Touch me ___. Please?" He hums bringing your hands to his chest. What was this? Was he feeling well? Why was he so intent on this? As if hearing your ponderings he leans near your ear. "I'm craving your touch right now, just amuse me for a bit." He requests softly. 

           'Well if that's it…' You purse your lips. "How about a massage?" You look at him. "Go lay on your stomach on the bed. So it's less…" You trail off. 

          "Erratic?" He guesses, making you blush. "Fine. Sorry it was a sudden urge. But a massage sounds great." He rumbles, crawling onto the bed and laying on his stomach. You sigh quietly and crawl onto the bed, fingertips pressing over his back as they travel up his spine, making him hum. 

          "And you said I was demanding today." You tease as you start to work over his muscles. "I'm glad you're all healed… I can't even see a scar."

          "Mhm… I was lucky you found me…" He breathes. You pause at that, "I know it was you. You're the only one who could've figured it out and brought the canisters I needed." He murmurs into the pillow. 

          "... Is that why you never showed me your home? Were you embarrassed?"

          "It was too close to your old home. I didn't want to make you sad." He responds lightly. "But why didn't you tell me? Is it because you brought Death there?" 

           "Yes." You look at his neck. Should you just admit that you already know he's Midnight? Nah. Let's leave that to him. 

          "I could tell… Smelt like rot in there…" He murmurs. Still playing it huh? Your eyes narrow slightly, rolling your palm over one of his muscles and making him hum. 

         "Sorry about that." You breathe, working the muscles on the small of his back. So pale. You blink thumb nail scraping against his skin and making him tense.

         "Ah… I think I'm okay now…" He manages, starting to get up but you put a hand between his shoulders and push him back down.

         "Who said I was done touching you?" You ask huskily, watching his shoulders and neck flush with red. "Heh. Your skin doesn't lie does it?" You hum leaning down and kissing his shoulder, peering at his red and shocked face.

         "I… ___?" He blinks at you innocently. 

         "I still need to punish you, you know… lets see…" You smirk peering over his skin quietly. 

         "W-Wait ___, what are you doing?" He asks warily. You look over his back again before leaning down and biting on a muscle on the small of his back, making him squeak out. 

         "There. All done." You get off the bed and pick up his shirt, tossing it to him as he hastily sits up, touching the spot. "Be more mindful next time." You smile licking your lips as he peers at you in shock. 

         "... You… Don't…" He pulls on his shirt backwards and covers his face. "That was so hot…" He hisses. "I'm leaving before you get to me more." He says swiftly unlocking the door and going out. After a while the twins come in looking confused. 

         "Did you do something to Tendo? He was all red when he left." Osamu asks.

         "I brought up something embarrassing from our childhood." You shrug slightly as they hang up their portraits. 

         "Oh okay then… Will you tell us? Because if that's his reaction-"

         "Nope." You answer simply. "Now let's start on battle preparations and tomorrow I'll find Midnight." You nod.

         "Akaashi's making tasers." Atsumu informs.

         "That might work, we can test it out on me." You nod. "But I really want some plasma shields for the school." 

         "I can contact Shirabu to come stay here for a bit." Ushijima offers coming in. 

         "I'd hate to bring him into this mess on just a hunch though." You frown. "But it's your choice. If he agrees we can pull the beds apart for him to sleep.." 

         "Alright." He nods messaging him.

         "What else should we do?" Osamu asks. 

         "Unfortunately we have to wait and see…" You sigh. 

         "Well, Tendo said we'll be fine for the night so. I believe him." Atsumu pats your back and gives a smile when you look at him. "You should call Mika and thank her." 

          "Right." You smile, taking out your phone and calling Mika, going out and climbing the stairs to the roof.

          'Hey! You got them huh?' She answers cheerfully.

          "Yeah. I loved all of them." You breathe. "They're… Almost as beautiful as you." 

          'Aww… You're making me blush… Hehe… Are you okay though? Daishou explained things and it all sounded intense.'

           "Yeah. I'm fine… Just worried about everyone you know? I'm… Scared to lose any of them." You murmur. "Since they're the closest ones to me they're in the most danger if we get attacked."

          'But isn't that also the safest place to be?' She points out. You pause and relax with a smile.

          "Heh… That's a good point." You murmur. "I'll do what I need to to protect them…."

          'I know you will. So believe in yourself… Believe in them. And after it's over… Let's go shopping together. Daishou's birthday is coming up,' She tells you.

          "Oh really? I gotta get him something good!" You gasp.

          'Hehe we'll look together, and… Call it a date?' She murmurs and you blush lightly. 

          "Ah S-Sure, I… I would like that." You smile.

          'Good… I'm glad you called. But it's getting late. You should sleep.' She murmurs.

          "Right, you too… See you later Mika." You tell her before you both hang up. You smile a bit, looking up at the sky quietly. 

          "Hm? Babe!" Bokuto greets coming into the roof and immediately coming over to kiss your cheek and hug you.

          "Hey. You're flying tonight right?" You hug him back. "Take me with you." You request and he lights up.

          "Yes! Okay! Let's go." He grins, wings bursting out. 

          "Ah… AAAHHHH!"  You cry out as he suddenly bursts into the sky with you.

          "Shh you're going to worry the others." He chuckles as you hug his neck.

          "Give me a bit more warning." You whisper.

         "I said let's go." He points out with a chuckle

         "So where are we flying?" You ask him.

         "I was just going to circle Raizu… But since I have you… Let's go on a mini date." He decides.

         "Let's not go too far okay?" You breathe.

         "I know you're worried about everyone, but I want you to focus on me right now… Oh! Let's go there!" He chimes, taking off. 

         "There?" You blink in confusion, peering about as he leaves the city area. 

         "I found this place a while ago." He murmurs going to a nearby mountain. "It's really nice and secluded." 

        "Oh?" You look at him curiously. He nods and starts to land, covering your eyes with one hand. He chuckles to himself, feet touching down on sand he sets you down and backs up, hands leaving your eyes. 

        "Ta da!" He opens his arms to showcase the beautiful mountain lake behind him, the stars reflecting on the calm waters like a mirror.

        "It's beautiful." You breathe.  

        "Right? I was saving this for our second date but… I think this will help you relax after everything." He gives a soft smile, tilting his head as his golden eyes look at you warmly.

         "You're so sweet." You relax and return the smile. "So. Are we swimming? We didn't bring anything to change into." You comment.

          "What's wrong with going in with our underwear?" He tilts his head, taking off his shirt and shorts, showing off his gray boxers with black cats on them. 

          "Awe, that's cute." You comment and he pauses blushing lightly.

          "Kuroo got me them." He murmurs.

          "He did?" You blink in surprise.

          "Yeah, as a joke he got me a whole black cat themed outfit last year for my birthday." He admits.

           "Aww that's cute." You chuckle, "I want to see you in it now." You add starting to strip down as well. He pauses, watching you and starting to blush.

           "Sure." He nods as you straighten up and approach the waters with him, wading into the water together.

          "It's so clear.." You marvel. 

          "Yeah. It is." He comments, peering at you quietly. You look at him and he stiffens swiftly looking up at the sky. 

          "Whoa… You got nervous." You tease splashing him. He blinks and chuckles, splashing you back.

          "Shut up… You look so nice in the moonlight." He says sheepishly with a blush. 

          "Awww you really like me huh?" You chuckle.

          "Nope… I really love you." He gives a wink. You blink and you cover your face laughing lightly.

          "Ah… You're so sweet." You murmur as he comes closer, kissing the backs of your hands. You uncover your face and meet his warm gaze. 

          "I can't help it. I like seeing you smile, and I'm so happy when we get to spend time together." He grins. "Even if you end up picking someone else… I'll be happy." He shifts and pouts. "But I would really like it to be me."

          "Heh… I'm glad to hear that." You chuckle. He smiles and pulls you close, kissing your cheek. 

          "Wanna look at the moon from under the water?" He asks.

          "Yes." You grin, taking in some ear before you both dive down, swimming deeper before stopping and looking up at the moon dancing against the water. Bokuto takes your hand, pulling you close and starting to turn about with you as if he was attempting to dance under the water with you. A chuckle rumbles in your chest and you give him a kiss before you both swim up to the surface for air, starting to chuckle together happily, hugging each other.

           "I love you." He murmurs happily.

           "I love you too Bokuto." You smile cupping his cheek. "Thank you for this."

           "I should've just brought you on a surprise date to begin with. If Akaashi can steal you then so can I." He says covering your cheek in kisses and making you chuckle. 

           "Okay okay I get it…" You laugh trying to pull away so he focuses on your neck instead. "No! It tickles!" You chuckle, turning your head and capturing his lips. He hums happily, smiling when he pulls away.

            "Your laugh is so cute." He smiles at you.

            "So is yours." You smirk and he pauses.

            "Nope!" He gently pushes you away and swims for the shore. 

            "Get back here!" You chase after him as he scrambled up the bank, sticking his tongue out at you. 

            "Nope!" He laughs. You scramble onto the shore, chuckling a bit and removing your glove to burst the area, pulling it on. "Hey! Hey! That's dirty!" He objects opening his wings to disperse the particles, freezing as you suddenly leap at  him through the particles. You chuckle as you crash into him. 

            "Got you." You snicker kissing his chin.

            "So sneaky babe." He gasps, holding you close. "But really amazing too." He smiles. You hug him tightly, looking into his eyes. He meets your gaze, spinning about with you. "Let's get back to the dorm."

            "Right…. After we get dressed Bokuto! Go back down."

            "Oh! Oops!"
