The first time you spoke to each other. Was a sad day and it was before Tendo came to you. Yet you weren't friends. Just two six year old kids that somehow linked to each other.

"___, where are you going?" The woman asks as you reach for the main door. You look between her and the other children as they play happily.

"I'm going home." You tell her. "I wanna see mommy and daddy."

".... Sweetie... Your dad isn't here anymore..." She frowns kneeling beside you.

"Where is he? Did the red cloud take him somewhere far?" You ask tilting your head. She bites her lip and meets your gaze unsurely.

"No sweetie... That red cloud was your dad." She breathes.

"... So he can come back. He's just somewhere else." You nod.

"No... He's... He's dead."

"... No. My dad is going to come back." You shake your head stubbornly.

"He's not sweetie."

"YES HE IS!" You shout- making the glove on your right hand burst. You pause, looking at it in shock, the woman backs away warily.

"___, you need to calm down." She tries to say firmly but her voice shakes. You watch the cloud as it disappears, a dark realization coming to you.

"I killed daddy..." You whisper looking at her. "Is that why mommy won't come get me?" You ask, stepping toward her. "I-I'm sorry! Tell my mommy that! I didn't mean to! Please! I want my mommy!" You reach your hands out to her but she smacks you away, making you fall.

"Don't touch me!" She shrieks. "J-Just put your glove on and go play!" You blink up at her fearful and uneasy gaze, shaking slightly as you tear up.

"O-Okay..." You manage getting up and rushing back into the playroom. Some of the kids stop, looking at you as you go to a corner and sit alone.

"Um... Hey ___... You wanna play with us?" One asks.

"No." You murmur, biting your lip. You just wanted to go home, to see your mom and dad. That wasn't happening though. You just wanted to leave now. You look at your right hand before looking at the wall and touching it, making a hole. You check around before crawling through, being greeted by the wind that flows by.

You stand up and look about before starting off away from the building that has kept you for the past two days. You reach the street and let your feet take you wherever. Eventually coming upon a shrine. In front of it, a set of twins are playing ball. You blink at them, stopping to watch for a bit. One notices you and stops.

"Do... You wanna play too?" He asks. You blink and shake your head looking down. He and his twin look at eachother.

"Atsumu! Osamu! Time to wash up!" An elderly woman calls.

"Coming!" They call back, one starting to leave.

"Race you there Atsumu." The twin says. The one with the ball glances at his departing twin before rolling their ball to you and giving chase.

"That's cheating!" He barks after his twin. You blink at the ball as it bounces against your foot. You bend and pick it up, bouncing it a few times before stopping yourself and shaking your head, placing it beside the path and carrying on through the nearby forest. You find a mostly dried up stream to follow. A bridge came into view, but it didn't seem like anyone used it. You trip, falling on the ground, your right hand touching a log and making it burst.

You blink watching the cloud drift away and disappear before glaring at your hand, recalling the red cloud. "I... Hate you." You hiss between grit teeth as you sit up. "You took away daddy and now mommy doesn't want me. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you!" Which means... I hate me too.

"Not now Kiyoomi. Go play." His mother murmurs sifting through papers. He blinks before nodding quietly.

"Okay..." He murmurs heading out. They were all so busy, even when they were home. He was getting used to it, what else could he do? He wanders a bit, deciding to walk across the nearby bridge to a forest path.

He reaches the bridge, starting across it when he notices a child that looks familiar. He pauses, watching for a moment as the right hand of the child raises toward their face slowly, purposely. His eyes widen in horror, realizing why they were familiar.

"Wait... Stop!" He shouts, making you jump and look up at him. "Don't... Don't do it!" He manages getting off the bridge to join you in the ravine. You blink at him before looking at your hand again.

"Why?" You look at him teary eyed. "Daddy's dead. Mommy doesn't want me and I'm all alone." You sniff. "It's all my fault." The nails of your left hand were starting to draw blood around your right wrist. You wanted free of it. If only you could cut it off. The boy shifts, looking at the blood uneasily, not sure what to do- if he could do anything. "I hate it." You suddenly crouch down, starting to say it over and over again in a frenzy. "I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate me. I hate me. I hate me.."

He could've left, you were scary right now, but the quiet sobs were getting painful to hear and he wanted to help. He hesitantly moves closer, he had seen plenty of people do it when one was crying. He leans over and hugs you, and almost instantly, you stop.

Tears form in your eyes at the warmth you had been missing since dad went. You rest your head on his shoulder, calming down completely.

"... Do you... Want to meet my mom?" He asks lightly. You pause and nod quietly. He releases you, taking your left hand and helping you out of the ravine. He guides you down the road and into a large house. You peer about as he leads you to the kitchen as the mother pauses her work to sip some tea. She pauses, looking at you and her son, lowering the tea in surprise.

"Hello... What are you doing here?" She asks carefully.

"I... Don't know." You look at the boy a bit lost.

"You miss your mom." He reminds you. The mom glances between you two.

"She doesn't want me anymore." You sniff, looking up at her. Her face softens and she kneels down in front of you, placing her hands on your shoulders.

"There will always be someone that wants you. It may not be right now, but know they're waiting for you. So stay strong... Okay?" She says softly.

"That's okay if they don't." You shake your head. "I wouldn't want me either." You whisper. She bites her lip, for a moment tears come to her eyes, but before she can say anything, there's a firm knock on the door and she goes to answer it.

"Are you okay?" He murmurs, making you look at him.

"I want to disappear... Why won't you let me?" You give him a tired look. He doesn't know how to answer so he just squeezes your hand.

"___. There's some policemen here to take you back to the orphanage." His mom calls.

"No one's ever going to want me..." You mutter, letting go of his hand and going to the door, letting the dog-like policemen start to lead you away.

"Wait!" He calls at your back, making you stop and turn to him as he runs up. He hesitates before hugging you. "I will." He murmurs, making you blink.

"... Don't." You frown. "Go be happy." You lightly push him away and offer a small smile. "Thank you. Your mom is nice." You had before following after the police.

A year would pass before you find out that his mother passes due to inhaling an extremely potent toxin. And he too would start to isolate himself from everyone.

'Stay.... Don't go where I can't follow.'

'____.... Please....'

'I-I'm sorry ___... It's too much....'

'___! Stay with me!'

"Someday someone will want you."

Your eyes ease open to a familiar room, to a familiar feeling of being surrounded. Oikawa nuzzles your shoulder and the fox twins are curled up against your stomach, Bokuto sleepily cuddles your neck with a happy hum, and the strong sense of deja vu hits you.

"Time to wake up." Kuroo peers in. "That looks... Extremely warm." He comments before he pauses, blinking in confusion. "Wait..."

You sit up, looking at him before at Oikawa and Atsumu, some visions popping up into your mind. "Atsumu? Tooru?" You ask, nudging them. Atsumu yawns and looks at you, changing back and rubbing his eye with a yawn.

"What's wrong?" He asks lightly. You carefully touch his cheek before hugging him tightly. "Hm? Did you have a bad dream too?" He murmurs, hugging you back. Osamu wakes with a jolt, changing back and blinking at you two with wide eyes, tearing up slightly before throwing his arms around you both.

"What's... Going on?" Oikawa asks groggy, feeling his own chest and looking down. "... I think I died in my dream." He frowns, making you and Osamu pause, looking at him. "It was so weird, and real..."

"Me too, that big villain guy almost got ___ but I got in the way and you stopped him with a chain and then I let out this awesome red fire attack." Atsumu says.

"That's exactly what happened in mine..." You and Oikawa say together.

"In mine ___ burst the big villain and got stabbed in the chest, but then the guy with a forcefield quirk pushes everyone away and the villain in purple and black hugs ___... You were both dead too I think." Bokuto recalls.

"... I don't think that was a dream if we all remember it the same way." You breathe.

"So... I died?" Oikawa says lightly and you tear up, nodding and hugging him tightly. "... Oh... What the hell is going on..."

"Yeah everyone's story matches up... But is that what's to come?" Oikawa folds his arms.

"I don't think so... Before I died that purple and black villain said he was going to 'change this fate'." You point out.

"Why was that bastard hugging you anyway?" Bokuto huffs.

"I don't know." You shrug. "This is all weird..."

"So let's say he has a quirk to reverse time. How will fate change?" Atsumu tilts his head.

"Don't know. But if we are aware of what's going on, then so is the enemy." You frown. A tremor shakes the house along with the sound of a distant explosion. You pause, everyone looks at each other before rushing out. Seeing a plume of smoke in the distance.

"The school." Kita breathes.

"The bomb must've preemptively went off." Kuroo says.

"The fate has been changed." You murmur. "With this the security around the school will increase and everyone will be on the lookout."

"Just like that..." Oikawa marvels. "We're saved."

"So... We can go back now?" Atsumu asks.

"Yeah. We can. It's over." You nod.

Everyone prepares to leave at that. And just like you they were all dazed, thinking about the day that was no longer going to happen. You should've felt relieved, but you felt uneasy as you reviewed your actions from then.

"___." Kita's murmur makes you look over at him. You were going to be the last to walk out the door. "Thank you." He says, lips trembling slightly. "And sorry you almost went through all of that... For me."

"I was ready to fight again despite all that." You respond. "Of course I would've made some things change, but I was ready." He blinks and nods, trying to smile but failing. "But that time it wasn't going to be for you. It was going to be for everyone."

"I see..." He relaxes a bit, meeting your gaze and coming over to hug you, kissing your forehead. "I'm glad you're still here." He whispers.

"... Me too." You smile hugging him before pulling away and joining everyone outside. Kita and his grandmother wave you off. A silence hung over everyone as you head for the station and get on the train. Not a word was said the whole ride. Then as everyone gets off the train, Atsumu speaks up.

"It bothers me. All of it." He says, making everyone look back. "It bothers me that I couldn't help that much. It bothers me that I died. It bothers me that ___ died too. But... What bothers me the most, is that I should feel happy or relieved, but I don't. It was a villain that changed everything. It was a villain that saved us from that. And I have no idea why." He says. "What if he changes his mind and we have to go through it again?"

"He won't. At least not now." You tell him. "Don't forget, all quirk powers come with a price."

"Right..." He relaxes with a nod and you go over, taking his hand and offering a smile.

"I'm really glad though. That I can still do this." You hum thoughtfully. He blinks at you and sniffs, tearing up before hugging you.

"Damn ninjas cutting onions..." He sniffles.

"You're so lame bro." Osamu chuckles, tearing up and hugging both of you. The others soon join in the hug too, even Sakusa, but only because Bokuto dragged him into it. The group hug lasted until the unease melted away.

Everyone separates, some wiping their eyes before continuing back to the dorms. As you near the doors, Nishinoya bursts out.

"___!" He chimes leaping at you. You catch him, turning about to keep from falling.

"Noya!" You chuckle hugging him.

"You guys are back already?" Ryuu says coming out as well.

"Yeah. A bomb went off in the school this morning. I'm surprised you guys don't know already." You tell him. He pauses along with Nishinoya, exchanging a glance before looking at you as Nishinoya pulls away.

"We just got a call from Semi. Tendo's in the hospital." Nishinoya tells you quietly, making you feel like everything had just dropped.

"Which one...?" You breathe.

"Kurikoo, it's real close to the-" You were already running before he could finish.

'No. Why now? He was supposed to go on errands today! I just saw him!' You think in a panic, running as fast as you can.

Reaching the hospital you hurry in, asking for the room number before hurrying upstairs to find it. You spot Semi in the doorway and go over to him. "What happened? Is he okay?" You gasp.

"He's stable now." Semi catches your arms as you start to shake. "I-I'm sorry, we were all out jogging this morning, but he suddenly stopped and his eyes were glowing... I couldn't get to him before the car did." He grits his teeth and looks down. "I'm sorry... but, the doctor said the injuries aren't life threatening. He's going to be alright." You blink at him and relax, hugging him tightly.

"Thank god..." You whisper. He relaxes hugging you back.

"You... Want to see him?" He asks. You nod and pull away so he can show you into the room where your best friend lay with tubes here and there. You move to the bedside, feeling tears rise up as you stroke his cheek.

"I'm here, Satori." You breathe softly. His eyelids twitch before he opens his eyes.

"Heeeey... There's my bestie..." He murmurs smiling tiredly. "I was just thinking about you... Had a weird vision..."

"Yeah. Me too..." You take his hand as he lifts it to you. "How do you feel?"

"Mm... I feel alright. I don't know what they gave me but my pain is gone... But let me tell you. I do not recommend getting hit by a car.... That suuucked." He says shaking his head slightly.

"I believe that... I'm glad you're okay." You smile leaning over and kissing his forehead.

"Heh. I got a kiss..." He breathes smiling. "I'm tired though."

"I'll let you sleep then." You murmur.

"Kiss me goodnight?" He tilts his head a bit.

"You're such an opportunist..." You sigh with a chuckle before kissing him softly.

"Yay... Now I'll have sweet dreams."

"You're such a goofball.."

"Nighty night." He says falling asleep. You smile and kiss his knuckle before going back to Semi.

"I feel better now. He's going to be alright." You comment looking back.

"Yeah. I'll keep you updated. Can I get your number?" He asks. You nod exchanging numbers with him. "Are you hungry? I was going to meet up with the others to get some breakfast." He tells you.

"That sounds great. We forgot to eat this morning." You nod. He smiles a bit, leading you down and out of the hospital, heading to a small restaurant and meeting up with Ushijima, Rein, and Shirabu.

"Hello ___. You saw Tendo? How is he doing?" Ushijima greets.

"He's good." You assure.

"I'm glad." He nods. "It's different when he's not here."

"I know how that is." You smile a bit, sitting with them at a table.

"The doctors there are best in the area. I'm sure Tendo will be out after tomorrow." Shirabu comments.

"I'll have to come steal him when he's well again.." You nod, phone buzzing and making you pause. "Oh excuse me, my dormmates are worried about him too." You breathe, replying to the messages.

"Tendo sure makes his rounds." Semi jokes lightly.

"Yeah. He's easy to get along with." Reon agrees. You smile a bit at that and order your food, eating breakfast with them. You decide to head back to the hospital, pausing as you spot Sakusa waiting at the entrance.

"Hey." You greet each other. You shift before cocking your head to the entrance, leading him inside and to Tendo's room. "He fell asleep before I left."

"He seems better than I was expecting... That's good." He murmurs.

"Yeah..." You watch Tendo for a bit. "I dreamt of that day. Before the flashbacks came." You murmur.

"That was my fault for bringing it up." He says.

"It's okay. Your mom was right. I didn't realize until it was too late though... And now I have time to appreciate it." You breathe. He shifts, glancing at you, reaching over and taking your hand.

"I'm happy for that." He says. You smile a bit falling into a calm silence with him. Tendo doesn't wake up again while you're there. According to the doctors he'll sleep until he's healed. Sakusa leaves first, giving you some more time with Tendo before heading back to the dorms with Sakusa.

"It's late already." You comment looking at the sky.

"I felt like this day lasted forever." Sakusa sighs.

"Well, we went through it twice... I'm just glad it ended with everyone still here this time." You smile.

"Yeah..." He moves closer to you, looking to the side. You reach the dorms and go inside, being greeted by Iwaizumi.

"Good, I was about to come get you two. Everything alright? Sugawara is making dinner." He says.

"Yeah, thanks." You nod.

"Get some sleep after. All of you look drained." He pats your head and heads upstairs.

After dinner you head upstairs to find the twins curled up together on the bed fast asleep. You watch them for a bit before going back out, deciding to go up on the roof to look at the stars.

Soon a giant owl lands beside you, changing into Bokuto and sitting beside you. "Can't sleep either?" He guesses.

"No... I didn't even see you flying about. How long have you been out here?" You ask.

"Since the sun went down. I like to fly around after a bad day." He says looking at the sky. "I tried not to think about it too much, but watching you die... Was rough." His voice cracks, looking at his shaky hands. You frown and take his hand, leaning on him.

"Sorry about that... I should've been more careful.... But, I just... Wanted to stop him." You breathe.

"I know... I get it." He peers at you before kissing your temple. "Thank you for still being here."

"You know I'm not the one that should take credit for that."

"Yeah..." He hugs you and pauses. "Oh! Can I cuddle you? In my room?" He asks lighting up.

"You know the twins will find me."

"That's fine. As long as I can cuddle you all night." He chimes picking you up and carrying you downstairs and to his room. "The furniture came in yesterday, Akaashi set up my room."

"He's so awesome."

"Right?"

"Mhm top tier hero right there." You nod.

"What about me?" He hums, going into his room, closing the door behind him.

"Oh you? Legendary. I saw you swooping down and carrying five students at a time to get them off campus. So pro." You poke his nose. He smiles, setting you down and laying with you.

"I am pretty pro huh?" He chuckles. "What about you? Bursting a whole floor. That was intimidating."

"I didn't even know I could do that." You shake your head, eyelids feeling heavy as he cuddles up to you.

"You can do so much. Just gotta try." He nuzzles your head, starting to drift off. You smile, looking at your gloved hand and soon falling asleep.
