Tendo foresaw this, all of it that wasn't linked to you directly. Still their audacity put him in awe. He shifts slightly, the cuffs around his wrists felt tight. He hums and looks about the crowded room calmly.

"You can't tell me he didn't foresee this. Look how calm he is." Atsumu points out to Oikawa.

"Why didn't he run then? Or contact ___?" Oikawa frowns.

"Actually this is the best route I could've taken for you guys." Tendo crosses his legs casually. "So... What's up?"

"You already know. What's the point in asking?" Atsumu frowns at him.

"Because answering all those questions without being asked is going to make you guys even more wary." Tendo says, eyes landing on Sakusa. "You didn't really think this was going to go well did you, Kiyoomi?"

"Just answer their questions." Sakusa responds looking away.

"What's the point? Everyone thinks I'm a bad guy anyway. No matter what I do. And you're proof of that." Tendo frowns looking ahead. "___'s the only one that appreciates me from what I can tell."

"Don't change the subject." Iwaizumi growls.

"What subject? I'm the only one asking questions." Tendo points out.

"Okay. Our turn." Oikawa says. "Where were you when Sakusa was being taken?"

"I told ___ and I know ___ told you guys." Tendo frowns. "Wakatoshi had a nightmare and destroyed my room. I had to run back to Kuri in the middle of the night. ___ was sleeping like an angel when I left." He smiles thoughtfully, eyes unfocused for a moment. "Gave a kiss before I left too."

"Oi." Atsumu growls.

"If you don't believe me, you can check my phone. Just stay out of my pictures." He says, shifting slightly, making his phone poke out of his jacket pocket. "Wakatoshi called me at three and left a message. I called him back when I woke around four to use the bathroom. Then I left."

Oikawa and Atsumu exchange a look before Kenma takes the phone. "What's the password?"

"___'s birthday..." Tendo smiles. Sakusa face palms at that. "Don't give me that Kiyoomi. Yours is the same."

"OI." Sakusa huffs.

"... Here's the call log." Kenma shows it to Oikawa. "He's right. I'll open the voicemail too assuming it's the same as the password- there it is." He plays the latest voicemail which is Ushijima apologizing and explaining the situation, asking Tendo where he was and to return to Kuri soon. The next one is a cute voicemail from you.

"Okay okay. You can hang up now. The rest are ___." Tendo blushes lightly, shifting with a frown.

"Check the pictures." Atsumu says. Almost everyone moves in to look now.

"Don't! I promised ___ no one else would see those!" Tendo snaps getting annoyed, a red circle forming around one of his eyes. He frees himself of the cuffs and swiftly takes his phone back. "I take my promises to ___ seriously. Now knock it off." He glares. They blink at him in surprise at that.

"Hey, what's going on with your eye?" Atsumu asks. Tendo pauses, closing his eyes, blood trailing from the one.

"Don't worry about that..." He huffs going back to the chair and sitting down, arms folded.

"... He's just ___'s fanboy. We... Screwed up." Iwaizumi sighs.

"Don't give me that. He's suspicious! What about how he took Sakusa to a villain base?" Atsumu points out.

"I told you before my quirk helped us with that. I just picked the best route and went with it." Tendo rubs his temple. "Uh oh. Time's up." He adds sitting up and looking to the door just before you come through it.

"How many fucking times do I need to make this clear- you're bleeding..." You swiftly go to Tendo wiping the blood that had left his eye. You grit your teeth, turning to give them a glare. "What. Did. You. Do?"

"W-We just came to talk." Oikawa holds up his hands uneasily.

"Then why does it look like he's been handcuffed? Why was Ushijima looking for him at Kuri? You freaking kidnapped my best friend and brought him to some abandoned house to question him?" Your voice was raising, hands clenched. "All of you?!"

"Well we thought he-"

"He what? Was some powerful mastermind villain?" You interrupt Atsumu.

"Yes! I'm telling you something is-" You move to swing at him, making him pause but Tendo catches your arm, turning you to him and hugging your head.

"Shhh shh shh.... Calm down." He whispers softly, fingers running through your hair soothingly. "It's okay. Nothing new." The others shift as you grip the back of Tendo's shirt.

"I hate it. Tell them to leave." You growl. Tendo tilts his head toward the door at that, jerking it to tell them to leave. They gradually go out, Sakusa hesitating at the doorway, looking back at you with a guilty look in his eyes.

"It's a good thing we got those gloves from Hiro. Otherwise this whole place would be gone. Never seen you so mad before ___." He smiles softly.

"I'm tired of people questioning you. I get so stressed when it's them doing it. I don't like picking sides, cause someone gets hurt but I'll always pick yours." You grumble into his chest. He chuckles and kisses your temple, squeezing you.

"I love you too... But you don't need to worry about it. Let them believe in what they want. As long as you believe in me I'm fine." He pulls away, tipping your chin.

"That doesn't excuse stressing you out to the point your eye bleeds." You frown.

"I'm fine... You don't want to go back do you?" He guesses.

"No... I almost hit Atsumu..." You sigh covering your eyes. "Ugh... I'm the worst."

"No. You're just protective of me... Come on. I'll sneak you into my new room." He smiles, taking your hand and leading you out.

*+*+*

"That was a disaster..." Kenma hums as they sit in the main room.

"I'm surprised you went along with them." Kuroo comments.

"I didn't want to... But, I was just curious what would happen." Kenma frowns, eyes changing colors, glancing up at something.

"I'm glad I didn't go, ___ looked so angry when they left." Nishinoya comments.

"Very angry..." Bokuto nods.

"Atsumu is in the hall closet sulking now... Or crying..." Oikawa sighs coming in and sitting down. "What are we going to do? The license test for the first years is in two days. And I don't think ___ is coming back tonight or tomorrow."

"Yeah... We should do something for ___." Bokuto gasps.

"What though?" Nishinoya lights up at the idea.

"I don't know... If anyone does..." Bokuto frowns lightly, scratching his cheek.

"It's the best friend... Who I think we just angered as well..." Sakusa sighs.

"... He really didn't want us to see those pictures..." Oikawa scratches his cheek. "I didn't even get the ___ folder open though..."

"I'm not surprised he has a whole folder... But I am curious about the pictures that he promised no one else would see though." Iwaizumi comments. There's a pause and he sighs as some turn pink. "I retract that statement."

"I'm going to check on Atsumu." Kuroo decides, going upstairs and to the hall closet, opening the door. "Hey buddy."

"___ hates me... I should've never done that... Why was I born...." Atsumu murmurs.

"Oh boy... Um... I'm sure ___ doesn't hate you. Just was being protective of Tendo." Kuroo pats his head.

"___ used to pat my head..." Atsumu breathes.

"... Hang in there man..."

~°~°~

"It's kinda small..." You breathe peeking about his new room.

"Yeah. We're kinda full so there's not many free rooms..." Tendo says, moving to pull off his hoodie, shirt lifting up to show his pale muscles. You blink, reaching out, fingertips feeling them and making him stiffen briefly, before taking off his hoodie and removing his shirt too. He doesn't say anything as you take in his muscles quietly, fingertips trailing them.

"When did you start working out?" You ask lightly.

"When you said you were going to Raizu." He moves closer, tipping your chin. "You like them?"

"Yeah. They kinda suit you. Almost seems dangerous." You smile. He hums, eye twitching.

"Maybe having you in my room is a bad idea..." He breathes pulling away. "It's getting really hard to behave just being around you let alone sharing a room... Oh! Wakatoshi is a good boy! You should share with him!"

"Are you saying you're a bad boy?" You tilt your head and he blushes grinning.

"Would you still love me if I was?" He whispers.

"Yes." You smile with a chuckle and he pecks your lips.

"I'm glad." He smiles then looks to the door as Semi opens it. "Hey Semi."

"Uh... Am I disturbing something?" He asks awkwardly looking between you two.

"Nope. You can leave it on the desk. Can you get Wakatoshi? I have a request." Tendo chuckles sheepishly.

"Oh, sure man... Hey ___," Semi gives you a nod.

"Hey Semi. Your hair looks nice." You wave.

"Thanks." He smiles sheepishly, setting a notebook on the desk before heading out.

"I'm going to get you some uniforms for tomorrow in case you decide to stay. You won't be noticed that way." Tendo cups your cheek. "Gotta measure you first." He breathes rather huskily, fingers trailing over your pant's waistband lightly. You blush lightly, looking up at him carefully as he chuckles lightly. "What? I'm kidding. I can use my future sight to see which ones fit."

"Don't over exert your eyes Tendo..." You tell him. He shifts looking at your lips briefly.

"I won't. I know my limits." He assures lightly. "And I'm currently reaching one of mine." He turns you to the door as it opens again and Ushijima comes in. "Wakatoshi. ___ needs a place to sleep- not with me in my room. Please take ___ in for now." Tendo chimes. You shift as Ushijima meets your gaze and nods.

"Okay." He says and leads you out. Tendo kisses your cheek quickly before returning to his room. Ushijima's room is much bigger than Tendo's. "You can sleep in that bed." He points. "I don't have a roommate at the moment." He adds closing the door, "The beds are new."

"Oh right... Tendo mentioned the nightmares... Are you okay?" You ask, taking off your hoodie and glancing over. You freeze as he takes off his shirt and moves to get another. "Holy muscles..." You whisper.

"I'm okay. They're not really monsters, just... Fighting dreams..." He admits, pulling on another shirt. "Something wrong?" He asks, catching your gaze.

"Nope! Nothing wrong at all!" You respond shaking your head swiftly.

"Alright. I'm going to take a jog before bed. You can come if you can keep up." He says. You pause, it was an honest invite, but it felt like a slight challenge.

"Alright. I'll join you, jogging before bed will definitely help." You nod. The door opens at that and Tendo comes in with a bag of clothes.

"Here you are ___!" He puts the bag down on your bed. "Be careful on your jog. And sleep well." He pecks your cheek before going back out.

"Told him not to overdo it..." You grumble taking the bag into the bathroom and changing into the school tracksuit. You go out as he finishes changing. You exchange glances before he leads the way out and off campus. 'Damn his pace is fast.' You think, barely keeping up, but acting like it was nothing. He takes you through the streets of the town, which seemed to be the opposite of the town near Raizu. Well lit and clean, so calm and peaceful. How boring.

"Tendo says your license test is in two days." He suddenly comments, making you jump slightly.

"Yeah. I guess it is." You blink and frown lightly looking ahead. He glances at you before looking ahead.

"Raizu seems to be under constant attack. I'm sure you'll be fine." He states. "Raizu's not as weak as before. But the first years of Kuri aren't weak either."

"Hm? Are we going to have to fight each other?" You ask in surprise.

"It's a battle royale in the first half, you take out five opponents and then go to the safe zone. The second half is rescuing the failed opponents." He informs.

"Oh... That's going to be tough.." You mutter.

"Wouldn't know it was all relatively easy for me. The only one that gave me a problem was Oikawa, but he wasn't strong enough then." He says. You blink in shock at that, so Oikawa failed his first license test? A frown crosses your lips and you focus ahead. "I take it you weren't informed of this." He guesses when you say nothing.

"No, haven't really had time to discuss it with the others, and now..." You didn't want to see any of them.

"Do you really think now is the best time to be apart from your teammates?" He inquires, coming to a stop and looking at you. "They may fail without you." You pause, and frown turning to him and stepping close to him, looking up into his eyes fiercely.

"I think you look down on Raizu too much. There's not a doubt in my mind that my classmates will win. So I hope your kohai are ready for us." You raise your chin, stepping even closer so your chest brushes his. "And you better be ready come the Rescue Tournament. Because Raizu will be taking that top spot." He looks over your face for a few moments before his lips pull up a bit, humming lowly to himself.

"We're taking you down Ushijima!" A call sounds just as a pair of headlights suddenly ignite you two but you don't falter, keeping your eyes on him. You pull the glove of your right hand off with your teeth, making his eye twitch, both of you ignoring the car that suddenly speeds at you both. You swipe your hand out, bursting the car and Ushijima catches the driver and the passenger with one hand. Your eyes never left his and vice versa.

"I'm looking forward to it." Ushijima finally says breaking eye contact first as you both look over at the two he had.

"Sorry. You punks say something?" You huff.

"Believe they said they were going to take me down." Ushijima comments.

"They're doing a shitty job of it." You hum. A cop car soon pulls up and the attempted attackers confess, getting arrested. You and Ushijima jog back to Kuri after that, returning to his room.

You claim the shower once you get back, getting clean and changing into something to sleep in (which happened to be Tendo's clothes) before going back out to find Ushijima doing sit ups shirtless. 'Why though? Are you a machine?' You wonder, sitting on the bed and watching his muscles tensing with each movement. 'Making this room feel hot with that.' Your brow twitches. A ping sounds and Ushijima looks at you as you check your phone. Oikawa had sent an apology text accompanied with a pout selfie.

"Your dorm mates?" Ushijima guesses.

"Mhm..." You hum and smile, looking at him. "Take a picture with me real quick." You smirk, moving behind him as he sits up and kneeling putting an arm around his neck. "Smile Ushijima." You breathe pressing your cheek to his and taking the picture. You don't move from behind him, moving your arm from his neck to text Oikawa back, sending the picture. Ushijima glances down at your arms around him before peering back at you.

"Are you taking more pictures?" He asks.

"Depends on his response."

*~*~

Oikawa's hollering jolts the third floor. "Shut the hell up Shittykawa!" Iwaizumi shouts, opening his door and glaring across the hall at Oikawa's door.

"What's he on about now?" Kuroo yawns coming out too.

"I miss ___..." Bokuto sighs coming out.

"Iwa-chan! I apologized to ___ and got sent this!" Oikawa shows them the picture in distress. "Why is he shirtless!? And ___'s wearing his t-shirt!"

"That shirt's too small, idiot." Iwaizumi huffs.

"Probably Tendo's." Kuroo says.

"That smirk is nice though." Bokuto blushes lightly.

"Yeah..." Iwaizumi breathes.

"Ugh! You guys are the worst. I'm telling ___ to come home." Oikawa gasps while messaging you.

"Oh looks like he wants another picture." You chuckle. You look at Ushijima as he watches you quietly. "Can you pose with me real fast? I'm going to get under his skin." You smirk.

"What do you want me to do?" He asks. You hum and think for a moment before straddling his lap.

"Smirk." You request. He tries but it looks weird. "Mmm no... Let me fix it." You move his lips a bit, curling them into a smug smirk. "Mhm. That looks good on you..." You nod, moving his eyebrows to match. "Narrow your eyes a bit... Perfect. Wow. You look really attractive right now. Keep your face like that." You bring his forehead to rest against your cheek. "Now give the phone a side glance... Hold it." You smirk as well, taking the picture.

Oikawa hollers again, turning pink. "No ___! Stop being sexy with him right now!" He shouts. "I'm going to cry."

"What? You're being so..." Iwaizumi trails off as Oikawa shows them the picture. "... Thats a nice one too."

"Bokuto where are you going?!" Kuroo gasps with a blush as Bokuto suddenly turns away to leave.

"I'm going to break into Kuri and be sexy with ___ too!" Bokuto growls. Iwaizumi and Kuroo exchange a glance swiftly grabbing Bokuto to hold him back.

"You can't! We should give ___ space!" Kuroo says, struggling with him. There's a sound of a window opening and Iwaizumi looks back, suddenly letting go to run and grab Oikawa who's about to go out the window.

"Not you too idiot!" Iwaizumi growls trying to pull him away from the window.

"I'll never forgive you Ushijima! You fiend! ___ will be mine!" Oikawa hollers.

"___'s mine!" Bokuto snaps at him.

"Shut it you two!" Kuroo tells them in annoyance.

"I don't know what's going on but ___ is mine. I kissed ___ first." Osamu declares coming up the stairs with a few others.

"I heard ___..." Atsumu peeks around the corner. "And you're wrong Samu. I kissed ___ first."

"Inari doesn't count because that day technically didn't happen." Osamu points at him.

"Wasn't it Kita then?" Kenma says.

"Damn Kita." The twins hiss.

"___'s gotten a lot of kisses." Nishinoya mutters.

"I don't care. Because in the end I'll be the one to marry ___." Oikawa states.

"No. It's going to be me." Bokuto growls.

"You can't marry ____, unless ____ falls in love with you." Sakusa sighs.

"I can do that no problem." Oikawa flips his hair.

"Not if I take ___ on an insanely romantic date first!" Bokuto snaps.

"Like that'll be enough. You can't even cook." Osamu huffs.

"Shut it 'Samu! ___ doesn't just care about food!" Atsumu snaps.

"Really? Cause I hear ___ call my name more than any of you." Osamu says with a smug smile.

"... Well I'm not backing down either. I like ___ and they're gonna fall for me." Nishinoya declares.

"... You all have fun with that." Sakusa deadpans, turning away.

"Don't give us that Sakusa. You're a threat too." Atsumu scoffs.

"I'm not concerned. I'm not going to compete with you lot. That's not how love works." He sighs.

"Sure it is. You spoil them, spend time with them and be intimate together. That's how you get love. Right?" Nishinoya smiles.

"Right... But then Tendo has us all beat." Osamu nods, putting a knuckle to his chin.

"That's true. But so does Sakusa." Atsumu frowns.

"I'm not losing!" Bokuto and Oikawa say together. Iwaizumi finally flings Oikawa out of the window and into Bokuto, making him and Kuroo go down.

"Shut it! It's bed time now." Iwaizumi snaps at them, closing the window. "And... I'm not losing either." He growls blushing lightly.

"Wow... ___ has a massive fanclub." Ryuu yawns. "Means I can make Kiyoko mine."

"I'm going back to bed, it's too late to be arguing over who is going to get ___'s heart." Kenma yawns going downstairs.

"Right. ___'s still mad at us anyway." Atsumu pouts following him.

"Sleep in your room Atsumu. Not the hall closet." Kuroo calls after him as he gets up. He looks down to find Oikawa and Bokuto out. "Nice throw Iwaizumi. Took out both of the troublemakers."

"That was luck... I don't feel like putting Shittykawa in his bed." Iwaizumi admits looking down at them.

"Same." Kuroo goes over, taking a blanket from the hall closet and putting it over the two. "There we go. They'll probably be cuddling by morning."

"I hope I can get a picture of that. Oikawa will hate it." Iwaizumi smirks.

"That's probably exactly why ___ sent those pictures with Ushijima." Kuroo comments.

"Heh. ___'s the best. Kinda jealous of Ushijima though. That last one looked like they were really close." Iwaizumi breathes.

"Right? Gonna have to ask Oikawa to send me that one." Kuroo nods. "Well goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"You're really photogenic Ushijima." You hum, going through your new pictures.

"I am?" He peers over at you since you were sitting on the floor against your bed.

"Mhm. So handsome, and strong looking." You murmur. He blinks at you and looks away.

"Thank you." He says.

"I'm just stating facts here. You must intimidate the villains that come across you. And you were so fast in catching those guys too." You recall.

"You must intimidate them as well, watching the car turn to dust like that was a bit unnerving." He responds. You peer over your phone at him.

"You're not wrong. It still scares me sometimes." You admit looking back at your pictures, swiping to older ones with your dorm mates.

"... Most people with a quirk like yours become a villain." He states, and you pause glancing at him again as he looks up at the ceiling. "It would be really easy for you. So it's admirable that you're taking the path of a hero."

"... Thank you... Actually feels really nice to hear that from you." You smile a bit as he peers at you.

"I don't see why. But I'm glad it does." He says before yawning quietly.

"Oh sorry, I'll turn off the light, sleep well Ushijima." You turn off the light and move to your bed. You try to settle in but you weren't feeling very tired, and kinda cold. "Hey... Ushijima?"

"Yes ___?"

"I um... Can I sleep in your bed with you?"

"Why? Are you scared?"

"No I just... Sleep better if there's someone next to me..." You admit. He pauses before letting out a breath, getting out of his bed before coming over and crawling into yours.

"Alright. I believe this might help me sleep better as well." He says getting under the covers and moving closer to you. You relax a bit, closing your eyes. "Sleep well."

"You too." You breathe, drifting off.
