"The doctors aren't sure what caused the amnesia." Takeda breathes. "But we think it was a part of the attempted kidnapping."

"They probably wanted to convert him to a villain since he wouldn't be able to remember that he's a hero' trainee." Iwaizumi breathes.

"It's a good thing ___ stopped them." Atsumu pauses after speaking, some of them peering back at you.

"If that's the reason. I'll stay with him for the time being." You murmur.

"Are you sure ___?" Nishinoya asks.

"Yeah... Nothing else we can do besides what we can. Right?" You wanted to offer a smile, but one didn't come to your lips.

"R-Right..." He looks down with a small frown.

"So you guys head back to the dorms, I'll be fine here. I'll call if anything changes." You breathe standing up and heading to the hospital room where Sakusa was. They watch you go before exchanging lost looks.

"You heard ___, waiting here won't do any good." Kuroo turns away, "We'll take turns relieving ___ of guard duty for the time being." He adds before heading out.

"Damn villains..." Ryuu sighs as everyone follows.

You peek in as Sakusa shifts uneasily, looking around the room before pausing as he spots you. "Hello again." You offer a tiny smile as you enter the room and close the door behind you. He blinks at you, glancing at the door.

"Hello..." He greets.

"Can I sit there?" You point at the chair next to the bed. He peers at it before giving a nod.

"You know me?" He asks lightly. You nod as you take a seat and meet his gaze.

"Yeah. I've known you since we were this big." You level your hand with the floor just below your chest.

"... That's a lot of time to forget..." He murmur looking down. "Are we... Family?"

"No. I'm a friend. I tried contacting your family, but I could only get a hold of your cousin. He'll be here in the morning." You tell him.

"What time is it?" He looks to the window.

"Maybe midnight? Yeah, going on one in the morning." You answer, checking your phone.

"Midnight..." He echoes, eyes unfocused for a moment. "Are you going to stay all night?" He looks at you.

"Yeah I am. Is that okay with you? I can go outside if you want." You point a thumb to the door. He shakes his head frowning lightly.

"No... That's okay... I was just wondering how you were going to sleep." He murmurs.

"I'm probably not. You may not remember what happened, but I don't think I can sleep tonight after that." You admit. He blinks at you before sitting up more.

"Then I'll stay up with you. You know me right? Maybe you can help me remember?" He pats the bed in front of himself with a small smile. You watch him for a moment, wanting to cry before standing up and crawling onto the bed to sit across from him.

"Uh... I'll try." You say softly. "What do you want to know first?"

"This isnt home... So where do I live?" He tilts his head.

"Well, right now you live in a dorm with myself and a bunch of others." You smile a bit.

"We... Live together?" He breathes.

"Mhm. We're a room apart... Hmm I hope your room is still intact..." You frown lightly putting a knuckle to your chin.

"What happened to my room?" He asks confused.

"I'm not sure, I was outside when the dorm was attacked." You admit, messaging Nishinoya to check Sakusa's room.

"We were attacked? Is that how I lost my memory?"

"Yes, and I'm not sure about your memory, the doctor said you haven't bumped your head or anything, it's like your memory got erased by a quirk or something." You tilt your head.

"A quirk huh..." He looks at his hands.

"You okay?" You ask him.

"I heard the doctor say that they can't do blood work because of my quirk." He tells you, glancing at the door. "But I don't know what my quirk is..."

"I do." You purse your lips making him blink at you in surprise. "I know as much as you've told me. Which feels like everything... Do you want to know?"

"Yes please." He nods and you smile a bit, the politeness and curious gaze was cute.

"Alright. Let's see..."

*

Midnight paces in the center of the warehouse. "I ONlY ReqUeSteD OnE ThiNG Of YOu." The computer voice in his mask crackles. He stops, adjusting it a bit.

"Look, I tried. But that bitch-" Dante freezes as a bluish blade comes within a milometer of his left pupil.

"The one with the burst quirk almost got me... Is what you were about to say right?" Midnight hisses.

"Y-Yes." Dante manages.

"Should've left you with the sharks." Midnight pierces his eye before slashing to the side, making Dante scream and fall to his knees, holding his eye. "I want Sakusa. The longer he stays in contact with ___ the less likely we'll be to get him on our side and use him." Midnight tells the group, wiping the blade on his arm. "Bring him to me or bring me a coffin in your size."

"Yes." They say, swiftly collecting Dante and scurrying away.

"Ya sure are on edge boss." Death hums.

"My previous playing cards got ruined and I'm stuck with garbage and one very powerful card." Midnight points to him. "You are that one."

"Shit. That bad huh? I guess I could contact some friends- well.. Their not friends.. Former partners?" Death tilts his head.

"How soon?"

"Two days."

"Alright. I can't wait to meet them."

"I'll get yer buddy Midnight. Dontcha worry about it." Death gives a smile before heading out.

Midnight relaxes, a red glow becoming visible behind the computer image eyeshield. "I will make it happen this time."

*

".... And we're still friends? Even though my quirk..." Sakusa frowns a bit. You blink and take his hand, making him stiffen.

"Kinda. I'm immune to your sweat now, or becoming immune to it... But we had a bit of a fight before you lost your memory. So... I don't know if you still want to be friends." You frown lightly, fingers tracing his palm.

"What was the fight about?" He asks and you meet his concerned gaze.

"Let's... Not have that conversation right now..." You take your hand away. "Any other questions?"

"... Are you tired?" He inquires.

"No. If you're tired, you can sleep Sakusa. I'll be here when you wake." You tell him softly.

"... Promise?" He gives you a slight pout.

"Heh. Of course." You smile at that, getting off the bed and making him lay down. You move the chair closer to the bed and turn off the light as he settles in.

"___?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you hate me?"

"No, of course not."

"... Is it okay if...."

"Hm?"

"Could you... Hold my hand for a bit? Just until I fall asleep?" He asks softly, sounding a bit embarrassed. You were stunned, hiding a smile behind your right fist as you take his hand with your left.

"S-Sure... Do you feel uneasy or something?" You ask.

"Not anymore." He murmurs. You smile softly, covering him up some more before resting your free arm and chin on the bed, starting to drift off little by little. Your phone starts to buzz and you check it to find Nishinoya was calling you.

"Hey Noya." You whisper when you answer the phone. He seems to pause for a moment.

'Did you fall asleep?' He asks lightly.

"Almost. Sakusa fell asleep though." You murmur peering at his face briefly. "How's his room?"

'Its fine. But most of his vials are gone.' He answers.

"Shit... Not the vials... He had the potent ones in there..." You sigh. "Alright. Check the mini fridge. It's where he keeps the antidotes and anti-venom."

'Okay... Yep, thats all still here.'

"Alright. Inform the others and sensei, if any of it gets used we'll be able to do something for the victims." You tell him.

'Okay... How is he doing?'

"He's okay I think. Starting to relax a bit, but still nervous." You breathe. "Kinda wish we hadn't argued before this. I want so badly to apologize." You tear up slightly.

'I don't think your fight was bad. You were both trying to say the same thing, but still couldn't agree.' He murmurs.

"What do you mean?" You blink back the tears.

'Well. What I got out of that was both of you were saying I love you. But Sakusa was also telling you that he doesn't want to get close and hurt you. And you were basically saying that you didn't care if he did.' He says bluntly. You pause and blush lightly.

"Ah... I see now." You sigh.

'I could be wrong though. But I don't think you guys were really mad at each other... Anyway there's no point in worrying about that now if he can't remember.'

"... Thanks Noya." You smile a bit.

'No problem. Hm?... Oh, Kuroo says he'll come to switch places with you in the morning.'

"Alright. I'll be here."

'Okay... Can I nap with you when you come home?'

"That sounds really nice. So yes." You chuckle lightly.

'Yeesss... See you in the morning! I gotta go separate the twins. They're fighting over something of yours.'

"Wait what?" You ask as he hangs up. "Dammit Miya..." You mutter, putting your phone back in your pocket before peering at Sakusa's face again. You feel your eyes warm and lean over, kissing his forehead. "Sweet dreams Kiyoomi." You whisper before taking your hand away and sitting back in the chair, watching him quietly. You decide to play on your phone for most of the night. Nothing happens really.

You move to the window as the sun starts to paint the sky as it wakes. You hear Sakusa stir and peer back at him as he rubs his eyes, blinking at you as he sits up. "Good morning." You smile at him. He pauses, staring at you for a moment. "... What? Did you forget me again?" You half joke, heart sinking a bit. He shakes his head swiftly at that, cheeks turning pink.

"You just... Look really nice with the sunrise..." He manages looking to the side. You look at him dumbfounded, feeling a blush rise to your cheeks.

"Oh... Uh... Thank you." You breathe looking away with a small smile.

"Coming in." Kuroo says entering the room and pausing. "Everything okay?" He asks.

"Yeah. Sakusa this is Kuroo. He's our senpai, and he's come to keep an eye on things for me so I can get some sleep at the dorms." You tell him with a smile.

"You could've just slept here..." Sakusa grumbles looking to the side again.

"Heh I know you would prefer ___ here until you're ready to go. But we are also worried about you." Kuroo rumbles. "Look. I brought fruit you like." He sets the basket on the table near Sakusa. "Let me chat with ___ and I'll be right back." He adds, glancing at you. You give a nod and go place a hand on Sakusa's shoulder.

"I'll be back later okay? Your cousin will be here soon too." You give him a smile.

"Okay. I'll wait for you." He nods. You pause and smile a bit more before walking out with Kuroo.

"You okay?" Kuroo asks.

"Yeah... I..." You tear up a bit. "I'll be fine. I'll just get to know this Kiyoomi too." You smile. He blinks and pulls you into a tight hug.

"You're stronger than me... If it gets too much just say so. We're all here for you two." He breathes, pressing a kiss to your temple before pulling away, "Now go get some sleep."

"Yes senpai." You chuckle heading down the hall and to the elevator. The doors open and you blink at a familiar face. "Komori..."

"___! Thanks for getting a hold of me." He steps out. "How is he?"

"He's alright. Still no memory. I hope you can help with that." You tell him. He nods glancing down the hall before smiling at you.

"Thanks for being with him so much. I don't worry as long as I know you two are near each other." He admits.

"Really?" You tilt your head.

"Yeah. I don't know how to explain it. But I trust you to be there for him. And here you are... So don't worry. I'll be here for a bit while you're away." He gives a thumbs up.

"Thanks. And... I'm glad you're not afraid of me anymore." You say as you step into the elevator.

"How could I? As much as Sakusa talks about you when he comes to visit, I feel like we've been friends this whole time." He chuckles as the doors close. You blink at the doors in surprise.

"Wait... What?"

After you leave the hospital you briskly return to the dorms, which were empty due to classes. "___! I waited for you." Nishinoya says from atop of the stairs as you start up. You blink and give him a grin.

"Thanks Noya. I am really sleepy." You yawn as you climb the stairs and hug his torso once you're at the best hight to hide your face in his chest. Nishinoya pauses, blushing lightly before grinning with a slight sparkle feeling incredibly manly from your gesture.

"I'm here for ya. Let's get some sleep. I was on watch with Bokuto all night." He says when you peek up at him, making him smile even more. "... Gah you're so cute." He gushes hugging your head. You laugh and he lets you go, taking your hand and leading you to your room before crawling into bed. You smile and go into your bathroom to change before crawling in with him and cuddling up to his chest, almost instantly falling asleep. Nishinoya smiles nuzzling your hair and following suit.

"Alright, I'm heading back to the hospital." You tell everyone as you pull on your backpack.

"Wait. I made you food." Osamu hurries from the kitchen with a stacked bento box. "You haven't eaten much since yesterday. You need to take care of yourself too." He breathes lightly.

"Okay. Sorry for worrying you." You murmur as he cups your cheek.

"You better be. You owe me a pudding now." He jokes lightly.

"... Back up Samu." Atsumu scoffs. Osamu tosses him a glare before kissing your forehead. "Oi."

"I'll be coming in the morning, okay?" Oikawa tells you, pushing Osamu out of the way. "I'll bring you breakfast when I do."

"Oh, thanks Oikawa." You smile a bit. He opens his arms in response and you hug him before heading out.

You return to the hospital and enter Sakusa's room as he and Kuroo finish a game of cards. "... Your poker face is really good." Sakusa sighs.

"Yours used to be better. Course you always had a mask on..." Kuroo chuckles looking to the side and spotting you. "You're back sooner than expected. But I am not surprised." He teases as Sakusa lights up a bit.

"Welcome back ___." He greets with a smile. Kuroo and you blink at him in surprise at that.

"I... I'm back." You chuckle sheepishly.

"___ let's chat before I go." Kuroo says, leading you out. "So... That was cute."

"My heart was not prepared for that." You breathe touching your chest. "Is it still there or did he just take it?"

"Wow. You handled that well if you're worried about your heart." He chuckles in amusement. "He kept asking about you by the way." He pokes your nose teasingly.

"Oh yeah? He did warm up to me pretty fast." You smile.

"Doesn't everyone?" Kuroo points out putting his hand on his neck. "But I don't think it's just that."

"Shush Kuroo. Sakusa would scold you for saying too much." You put a finger to your lips.

"True... Alright. Have fun with your cactus plushie." He snickers heading off. You go back into the room, giving Sakusa a smile.

"I brought you some of your things in case something might seem familiar." You tell him, taking off the backpack and setting the bento box to the side. "And Osamu made us dinner."

"Osamu?" He echoes.

"The dorm's best cook." You grin. "He was worried I wasn't eating enough."

"Oh. I see." He says looking away with a bit of a scowl. Everything he did today was just surprising you.

"What's with that response?" You ask. "Are you... Mad or something?"

"No. You just seemed really happy talking about him is all." He grumbles.

'What is this? Is he jealous?' You wonder in shock. You look at the bentos swiftly opening one and holding it to him. "Just eat and you'll understand. He made one for you too."

He blinks at you before giving the bento a familiar wary glare. He takes it carefully, starting to eat. He pauses, eyes widening slightly. "... Damn." He murmurs.

"Don't curse just because you understand. I'm going to get Kuroo for that one." You mutter. "Oh and just so you know. Osamu once admitted to me that he does enjoy your company more than most of our dorm mates."

"So... We're friends?" He tilts his head.

"Yes. Most of them see you as a friend." You smile sitting with him and starting to eat as well. "But it's a new thing we're not used to."

"It is?" He looks at you.

"Yeah. We were... lonely kids for similar reasons. We grew up together but we didn't become friends until recently." You admit. He frowns slightly, making you shift. "But... To tell you the truth, I always had your back, and made sure you weren't missing much when you were home sick.. I even used to send Komori to your house to give you snacks when you were sick. Of course back then he was scared if me and I felt like a bully every time I did."

"So you weren't my friend, but you were?" He gives a cute confused look at that.

"Yeah.. Sorry, I was convinced you hated me since you always glared when I came near you." You chuckle.

"So I'm a jerk." He nods, pursing his lips.

"No. I think you looked out for me too... I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you." You finish your food and quietly put down the bento. "I have so much to thank you for, but I never did actually stop to thank you." You murmur playing with your fingers. "And now you can't remember any of it." Each time you remembered that, you wanted to cry. "For you it's just... All gone.."

"I want to remember." He says lightly. "I want to understand." He touches your hand softly, looking into your eyes as you peer at the sad face he was making. "Please don't cry." He cups your cheek with his other hand and wipes a stray tear away. He pauses, looking at you quietly and swallowing before pulling away. "Your eyes are so beautiful..." He grumbles with a light blush. "I forgot what else I was going to say."

You were once again stunned by this new Sakusa and didn't know how to respond for a long moment. "Th-thank you." You finally mutter looking away. He blinks at you and smiles a bit.

"Sorry, is that something I shouldn't say out loud?" He asks with a head tilt.

"You can say what you want to. I'm just more used to your painful honesty." You assure.

"Painful honesty?" He frowns, furrowing an eyebrow.

"Yeah. It's not as bad as it sounds. I've always found it charming for some reason." You assure.

"You think I'm charming?" He smiles widely at that, throwing you for another loop.

'Im so glad he's not always like this or I would've died from over exposure to this sun.' You think, bringing a hand to your chest again. 'He's so precious right now I could cry...'

"___? You okay?" He frowns lightly when you don't respond.

"I... Was not prepared for today." You sigh rubbing your neck. He just blinks at you confused as you take his empty bento box.

"Excuse me." An unfamiliar voice sounds and you both look at the doctor. "We have clearance for the release of Kiyoomi Sakusa." He tells you both. "We have a taxi ready to take him home."

"That's okay. He's coming with me. And I believe a walk would be good for him." You tell him lightly, hand coming over Sakusa's. The doctor shifts, giving a smile.

"Of course. Here are the papers that need to be signed." He sets them on the table before going out.

"Have you seen that doctor before?" You whisper to Sakusa.

"No. I've had the same one since I got here." He responds quietly, seeming lost. You nod and take out your phone to call Kuroo.

'Miss me already?' Kuroo answers jokingly.

"Yes. Now listen. We just got the clear from a random doctor for Sakusa to be released now." You breathe lightly.

'Its nearly sundown too... These guys aren't too bright huh?' Kuroo comments. 'I'll send you a message when we get in that area, if it's an ambush we'll have a surprise waiting for them.'

"You're the best Kuroo." You smile.

'Oh? Tell me more later.' He chuckles before you both hang up.

"Am I in danger?" Sakusa asks.

"Not as long as I'm around." You assure with a thumbs up. He blinks at you in awe and you pause. "Wh-What?"

"You're so cool."

"... God... My heart..."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm good."
