"___! Oikawa!" Nishinoya cheers as everyone rushes out of the dorm to hug both of you as you walk up to the dorms just as dawn breaks.

        "We're back!" You laugh hugging him. 

        "What the hell happened!?" Iwaizumi huffs coming through the group. 

        "Iwa-chan!" Oikawa gasps and hugs him. Iwaizumi instinctively returns the hug, before pausing and pulling back with a glare.

         "What the hell were you doing? Getting switched with an imposter!" He snaps. 

         "I didn't want that to happen! I got knocked out!" Oikawa shoots back. You blink between them and smile, chuckling lightly.

         "That's so much better…" You breathe, hugging them both. "I'm so glad you're okay Iwa-chan." You murmur, kissing his cheek.

         "That's thanks to you." He whispers, hugging you back. Your eyes narrow briefly before closing. Just like this. With everyone there together safe and sound. You wanted to stay just like this. 

        "Alright. First things first… Apparently we might have some cameras and bugs hidden around the dorm. So let's hunt them down and destroy them." You say looking up at the building.

        "I have just the thing." Akaashi comments nodding to himself as he goes inside. You smile after him relaxing a bit.

        "Are you hurt? You're covered in blood…" Kiyoomi looks at your clothes uneasily.

        "Um… I'll explain everything after we clear the dorm of suspicious things." You tell him. 

        "Oh cool we're finally getting rid of the cactus." Atsumu sighs in relief. You and Kiyoomi look at him at that.

        "... Leave my plushie alone Atsumu." You chuckle lightly.

        "Then tell it to stay out of my bathroom." He retorts. 

        "Nehehe." You snicker looking away and bumping knuckles with Osamu. Akaashi soon waves everyone inside, everyone gathering in the living room as he turns on a little machine. 

        "This should show the location of any bugs or cameras." He breathes as a blueprint shows up on the screen, red spots showing up. "There we go." He hums. Everyone else separates to get the devices, you sit with Akaashi, leaning on him as you both watch the screen.

        "You're really amazing." You murmur.

        "It's nothing." He shakes his head. "You look like you've been through hell since this morning."

        "Yeah I should clean up…" You tug your stiff shirt and pause, peering at his ever calm face. "Wanna help?" You ask quietly. He blinks a few times, pink slowly spreading across his face. 

        "... I'll call Bokuto." He whispers the warning, not looking away from the screen.

        "I was just kidding. Wanted to see you make a face." You say carefully, getting up. He shakes his head and gets up as well. You pause as he leans near your ear. 

        "Pick your fights better ___. We both know you couldn't handle that." He whispers against your ear. You blush heavily and he peeks at your face. "I was kidding. Just wanted to see you make a face." He smiles lightly. 

         "... Lucifer…" You whisper moving away. 

         "Payback." He hums watching you go for the door. 

         "I apologise for that." You tell him. "I'll definitely restrain myself next time." You add before rushing upstairs. Akaashi sits back down and covers his now red face with a sigh. 

         "... Why do you only do that to me?" 

        You move to go upstairs to the second floor, pausing as Kuroo comes down from the third floor. He freezes, hugging the cat plushie tightly as he looks at your clothes horror.

        "I-Im okay. This isn't what it looks like!" You tell him quickly.

        "What happened to you?" He whispers, hiding behind the cat and moving back up the stairs.

         "I uh… Got into trouble. But I'm okay now. Promise." You assure, holding up your hands to him. 

          "... Are you hurt?" He steps toward you worriedly, looking you over.

          "I was. But I'm okay now. I'm going to clean up so… Don't worry about me." You tell him going toward your room carefully.

         "O-okay…" He murmurs. You offer a smile before hurrying to your room, crashing into Ushijima who was carrying out a handful of bugs and small cameras.

         "Sorry." You both tell each other. 

         "Are you okay?" He inquires.

         "Yeah. I just… Kinda traumatized poor Kuroo… I'm going to shower so… Thanks for clearing out the room of those." You tell him, moving to pick out clothes.

         "No problem. It's a bit alarming they could place so many without us knowing." He says.

         "Yeah. Put them all in a bag. I'll burst them once we have all of them." You tell him before going into your bathroom and taking a shower. 

          Once you're clean and dressed you go back downstairs, meeting everyone else in the living room. "Alright dorm's clean now." Akaashi informs you, holding up a sack. You take off your glove and burst it before sitting beside him.

         "Okay… So here's the rundown of my little… Outing." You start and tell them about what had happened.

         "God… Damn Claw…" Atsumu sighs rubbing his face. "But that facility is gone now. Along with that person with that glow water quirk." 

         "I'm going to mark that down as a win." Oikawa folds his arms. "And I don't know if it was something they wanted me to hear or not but… Midnight did say something about taking a break after taking out the facility." 

         "Sounds like a trick." Atsumu deadpans.

         "Might be true." You shrug. "Midnight does take a break often. I don't know why but I think he was satisfied after killing Glow. So he'll probably lay low for a bit." 

          "Well… I feel reassured if that's what ___ believes." Bokuto says nodding. "All that's left is Kuroo's memories."

          "We'll get them tomorrow." You breathe, looking at Kuroo and touching his shoulder. He blinks at you and nods, hugging the cat plushie closer.

          "Tomorrow…" He murmurs.

          "Alright. I'll make some breakfast then." Osamu decides sitting up.

          "Yesss. I'm so hungry and your food sounds perfect right now." Oikawa gasps. Osamu blinks before giving a toothy smile. 

          "I got you covered." He chuckles heading into the kitchen.

          "He seems really happy to make breakfast this morning." Oikawa comments.

          "Ah well… While playing as you, Rakurai said he didn't like Osamu's cooking." You tell him, receiving a shocked look. "And it… Really bothered Osamu." 

           "I wish I had broken his nose." Oikawa growls, going to the kitchen and hugging Osamu, surprising the fox. "You're the best cook and that guy was a psycho." Oikawa tells him. You chuckle a bit watching them before yawning.

           "I've been up all night so I think I'll nap." You murmur. 

           "I was going to nap too…" Kuroo murmurs getting up. You blink at him, becoming thoughtful. 

           "You want to nap with me? It'll probably be just us today since everyone else has class." You hum.

           "Which you're missing a lot of." Kiyoomi says. "If you fail the exam you can't participate in the Rescue Tournament." 

           "Ah… I'll study after we get his memories." You clasp your hands together.

           "Don't worry too much Kiyoomi. If I can pass it ___ definitely can." Bokuto chuckles.

           "Don't be like that Bokuto. You're very clever." You send him a frown. 

           "Heh. You think so?" He smiles lightly before kissing your cheek. "Thanks babe." 

           "Of course. I have complete trust in you." You smile. He blinks and grins, suddenly hugging you tightly.

           "Aww! I want to nap with you now too!" He chimes. 

           "No. Go to class." Daichi tells him.

           "Fine fine." Bokuto kisses your cheek and lets you lead Kuroo up to your room. 

           "We can pull the beds apart if you don't want to be near me." You tell him yawning again. 

           "I don't mind…" He murmurs, looking at the cactus and snake plushies sitting on your dresser. 

           "Hm? You want them on the bed too?" You ask. He glances at you and nods quietly. A small smile comes to your lips and you move them to your bed as he crawls in. 'This is super cute.' You think as he cuddles up to the snake. You take out your phone and snap a quick picture before crawling in as well. "Sleep well Kuroo." You breathe. 

            "You too…" He says quietly as you swiftly drift off. He nuzzles the cat plushie, watching you for a bit before drifting off as well.

            You stretch with a hum, peering at Kuroo as he pauses what he's doing to peek at you. "Whatcha doin?" You ask, sitting up and rubbing your eye, pausing as you find half of the bed covered in pictures.

           "Looking at these again… Sorry… I would've taken them to my room but… I didn't want to be alone." He murmurs. 

           "That's okay. Can I look with you?" You ask, scooting closer. He hums, giving a small nod. You both look over the various pictures of Kuroo and Kenma, most of them as kids. "Aww you're such a little cutie in these." You chuckle thoughtfully. He smiles a bit at that.

           "There's so many. But I don't remember any of it…" He breathes. "I know there's something important missing, but I get a headache when I try to remember it…" 

          "Don't force it." You touch his shoulder. "We'll get them back Kuroo… I'm sorry for making you wait another day." You frown guilty. He blinks at you in surprise before quickly shaking his head.

          "No. That's not your fault. You almost didn't come back. And you looked very tired." He reminds you. "I don't mind waiting for you." He adds looking back down with a small smile.

          "You're so sweet Kuroo." You murmur with a small chuckle, relaxing a bit. He blinks and peers at you quietly.

          "You're sweet." He says, touching the cat plushie. "I'm just returning it…"

          "Nah. You're always sweet." You hum. He pauses and looks at you curiously now.

          "I am?" He tilts his head.

          "Yeah. You're… like the big brother here. You watch out for everyone and make sure they're alright." You smile. "And if they're down you usually help them feel better. You're really goofy when you and Bokuto are together and it's really cute." You chuckle a bit looking at the ceiling. "And when there's trouble you're always so calm. So strong too…"

           Kuroo watches you for a bit before smiling and looking at the pictures again. "Do we have pictures together too?" He inquires.

          "Yeah. Check it out, everyone has their own folder and I have ten with you so far. I lost some because I didn't upload my pictures at the camp and lost them when our phones got destroyed." You tell him, pulling up the pictures with him. 

          He goes through them with a small smile, tilting his. "I wonder if I have any of you…" He murmurs, getting up. "I'll get the phone." He decides going out. You smile and gather up the pictures, pausing as you pick up one with a hero in it, a small Kuroo and Kenma smiling with him. You blink a few times, looking closer at the picture. The hero's smile was really familiar.

          "... Dad…?" You whisper. You set the picture down blinking at the wall in confusion, trying to remember him. "Shit…" You sigh, rubbing your cheek, nothing coming to you. "I… Can't remember…" You close your eyes. 

          "___?" Kuroo asks, coming in and blinking at you. You open your eyes and sit up, giving him a smile. "Are you okay?"

          "Yeah, just… I guess I forgot something important myself." You shrug, setting the picture down. "You find your phone?"

          "Yes… I do have pictures of you." He sits with you. "Says there's thirty." 

          "Really? Are you sure you want me to see them?" You ask lightly.

          "Why not? They're nice pictures?" He replies, blinking at you innocently.

          "Alright let's see." You lean over and he swipes through them. Most have you laughing with the others or being goofy with Nishinoya and the twins. The rest are you with a nice background behind you. But you're not looking at the camera, either staring off or looking to the sky with a smile. 

          "I like this one." He breathes, stopping on one with you leaning on a railing looking out as the sunsets. You were blushing a bit, feeling flattered by the collection of sneak pictures he had. 

          "Yeah.. That one is really nice." You agree, rubbing your cheek. 

          "Hm? Something wrong?" 

          "Nope… You're just… Too cute." You cover your face. He tilts his head, watching you in slight confusion. You peek at him with a shy frown and he blinks, pink coming to his cheeks.

         "Ah… Um… Are you hungry?" He asks. 

         "Yeah. I should make us some food." You nod getting up and stretching, back popping. 

         "... Can I help?" He gets up as well. 

         "Of course. You do help me sometimes as well." You chuckle, heading downstairs with him. Some of the others come in during lunch as you and Kuroo make food.

          "Hey Kuroo, ___, how is everything going?" Kenma asks. 

          "It's going well. Right Kuroo?" You look over at him as he reaches to put up the seasonings, accidentally making the flour fall  over and spill out on him. "Oh no." You cover your mouth to keep from chuckling as he quickly fixes the flour. 

         "... I'm sorry…" He looks down at the floor.

         "That's okay," You go over, and wipe off his face. "It happens. I'm just glad the whole thing didn't fall on your head."

         "That's a mess…" Osamu blinks, coming into the kitchen. "But I'll clean that up, go get him cleaned up." He adds when you look over.

         "Thanks Osamu." You send him a smile before taking Kuroo upstairs to help him get cleaned up. 

          "It's everywhere." He grumbles, taking off his shirt. You pause and shift, looking over his back briefly before looking away as you go over and help him clean off his face. 

         "Heh, you're going to have to shower now. There's so much in your hair." You chuckle trying to comb most of it out with your fingers. He blushes lightly and starts to laugh.

         "That feels weird." He rumbles lightly. You smile at him in amusement, wiping off his cheeks again. He pauses meeting your gaze. "You have very pretty eyes." He whispers.

          "Thanks. You have nice eyes too. And your smile is one of my favorites." You whisper back. 

          "Really?" He chuckles sheepishly.

          "Really. Now go shower and then come eat." You nudge him toward the bathroom before returning downstairs. 

          "He's really relaxed now." Kenma comments when you return to the kitchen. "Thanks for that."

          "No problem… It's kinda sad that I'm getting so good at this." You sigh. 

          "I'm amazed by you for it… If you hadn't handled the others so well I would've felt helpless when Kuroo forgot me…" He admits looking down. 

          "Yeah. It hurt like hell with Kiyoomi so I understand. But don't worry. We know what needs to be done now." You put a hand on his shoulder. 

          "Right." He offers a small smile and nods.

          "___ I covered up your food, don't forget to eat." Osamu tells you, kissing your temple.

          "I won't. I'm waiting on Kuroo to come back down." You assure with a chuckle. He nods and rubs your back before handing Kenma a plate and grabbing his own. 

          "Come on Kenma, we need to eat now or we'll be late." He adds. 

          "Right. See you after classes ___." Kenma waves before they go to the dining room. 

          Kuroo returns as they finish and gives Kenma a small smile and wave as they head back to class. "Sorry. Did I take too long?" He frowns softly.

          "No. They just hurried so they wouldn't be late." You respond grabbing both of the plates before heading to the dining room to sit and eat.

          "It feels weird when everyone's gone…" He comments glancing around. 

          "Doesn't it? Feels more at home when everyone's together." You smile a bit as you focus on eating. 

          "It does?" He blinks at you.

          "Mhm, home is where the heart is after all." You breathe, sending him a wink. 

          "I see." He smiles softly. 

          After you get done eating you decide to watch a movie with him, the others returning as it ends, some gathering up in your room. 

          "So listen to this." Atsumu says, patting your knees excitedly to get your attention. "I heard the second-years talking about sending us on another trip. Just us first years though." He smiles. 

         "Where to?" Akaashi inquires.

         "Dunno. But it might be the beach this time!" Atsumu grins excitedly.

         "... Oh…" You nod. You didn't mind the idea but that would mean all of them would be shirtless most of the time and that thought was enough to kill you. 

         "Are you okay ___?" Kuroo touches your back as you sway slightly.

         "The beach sounds hot…" You murmur. 

         "Well we don't know what it is yet." Atsumu reminds you. "I was just hoping for the beach."

         "We won't have to sleep outside…" Kiyoomi whispers. 

         "If they go the beach route then we'll probably end up in a hotel." Kenma smiles a bit.

         "You two really didn't like camping…" Akaashi comments.

         "Nope." They hum shaking their heads.

         "Hey! Hey! Hey! What's going on here? You guys having a meeting?" Bokuto steps in with a curious head tilt.

         "No, just chatting." Osamu tells him. You smile, opening your arms out to Bokuto. He blinks and grins, taking his chibi form to fly into your arms and cuddle you.

         "I missed you my love!" He chimes, receiving glares.

         "He shrunk…" Kuroo whispers in awe. 

         "Yep! It's a new discovery I made about my quirk! And it's all thanks to ___!" Bokuto tells him, cuddling your cheek.

         "Only because you wanted to cuddle up to me." You chuckle. Kuroo watches for a moment before shifting.

         "Can I hold him?" He asks quietly. You and Bokuto blink at him in surprise before Bokuto grins opening his arms to Kuroo.

         "Of course bro!" He chimes as Kuroo gingerly takes him and holds him, Bokuto hugging his neck with a chuckle. 

         "Heh… How cute." Kuroo chuckles lightly. You blink a few times before burying your face in Akaashi's shoulder. 

          "Yeah… How cute…" You agree, internally gushing over them. 

          "Alright Kuroo, here's your plushie. Let go of Bokuto before ___ can't handle the cuteness." Atsumu chuckles, passing him the cat. 

          "Awww, babe's so cute." Bokuto chuckles going behind you and changing into his original form, pulling you onto his lap and cuddling you. Kuroo chuckles, watching you smile and cuddle him back. 

         "Alright. Enough of the gross stuff. It's studying time." Kiyoomi states.

         "Awww…"

         "Fine. Don't study. It'll be easier for me to become number one then." 

         "... Alright let's study and prove him wrong." Atsumu growls.

         "Right." 

         You chuckle as you look up from your textbook, finding the others had fallen asleep. You get out of Bokuto's arms, laying him back before covering him up and clearing off the study materials from the bed before moving to Atsumu, touching him to pick him up and pausing as he unconsciously takes his fox form in response. You smile and stand up, moving him between Bokuto and Kuroo. You then move to get Osamu who does the same thing. A chuckle escapes you as you move him next to his twin and go to pick up Kenma and take him to his room, putting him down and covering him up.

           You return to your room for Akaashi and pause as you find Ushijima standing in the room looking a bit lost. "Ah…" You breathe, making him look over. "Bokuto's and Kuroo's beds are free. So take your pick." 

           "I see…" He nods. "I miss sharing the bed with you though…" He admits quietly. 

           "Soon Wakatoshi." You smile, patting his shoulder.

           "... Do you want a hug?" He inquires. 

           "Of course." You whisper, hugging him warmly. He returns the hug, nuzzling your shoulder quietly. Soon you pull apart and he goes out to find an open bed. You smile and go over to Akaashi, crouching beside him. 'So handsome when he's asleep…' You think putting an arm around his shoulders, waking him. You pause as his blue eyes peer into yours sleepily. "Ah… I was uh… Just moving you to your room." 

         "Mmm… Thank you." He leans on you, starting to get up. You help him to his feet and move toward the door with him. He peers at your bed as you both go out and to his room, going in and to the bed.

         "There you go. Sleep well-" You move to go out but he grabs your wrist, pulling you down onto the bed. 

         "Your bed's packed… Sleep here tonight." He whispers when you blush and look at him. He meets your gaze sleepily, pulling you closer and nuzzling your temple. "Just for tonight." He breathes.

         "Ah… O-okay…" You manage getting comfortable. "G-Goodnight Akaashi." 

         "Goodnight ___….”
