You stretch as your alarm goes off and pout, turning it off before cuddling up to Osamu as he changes from his fox form, burying your face in his chest, leg wrapping around him. He blinks and huffs lightly, nuzzling your hair. 

         "Wake up." He murmurs.

         "No… Still sleepy." You grumble, wrapping your arms around him. 

         "I gotta make breakfast." He rubs your side. You grumble a protest, stubbornly letting him go and turning to reach for Atsumu. Osamu quickly pulls you back in. "I'll do something to wake you up." He warns.

         "No… Too sleepy." You breathe. 

         "I warned you." He hums huskily, tipping your chin. Before he can do anything he stops as someone touches his neck.

         "I don't know what you're about to do to ___, but I'm against it." Sakusa says in a low voice, before leaning over him and picking you up. 

         "Kiyoomi~" You sing half asleep as he carries you out of the room, arms wrapping around his neck. 

          "Wake up ___. I know how weird you can be in the morning." He says. You blink at him, holding back a yawn.

          "Where are you taking me?" You ask as he goes up to the third floor.

          "To the roof. The sun's about to rise." He says, going up the last flight of stairs and opening the door, stepping onto the roof. 

          "Kiyoomi said I look nice against the sunrise." You chuckle sleepily before kissing his mask where his lips were, making him freeze in surprise. "Hehe… You turned into a stone." You tease.

          "... You're so gross first thing in the morning." He grumbles with a blush. You hum, easing off his mask and making him pause, eyes narrowing at you uneasily. "Contain yourself ___." 

         "Just one kiss Kiyoomi." You pout, "Nothing bad happened before." You yawn, hiding your face in his neck. His brow twitches and he sits on the ledge surrounding the air units with you. 

         "You're too careless when you're half asleep…" He points out softly. 

          "No… I'm just very determined." You pull back to give him a look. He straightens, eyes narrowing as another blush rushes his face. 

          "Just… One." He breathes. You smile at that, leaning up and giving him a kiss before cuddling him in content. 

          "I missed you." You hum. 

          "I haven't gone anywhere." He reminds you.

          "You didn't… But you kinda did. Like you took a trip and left your super cute twin here to tempt me." You puff your cheeks. "He was dangerous, even Atsumu was scared of him." 

           "That's because you're both dorks." He smirks. 

           "... Rude." You poke his cheek.

           "It's true. The whole In-healer thing just proved it." He retorts, and you snicker.

           "In-healer…" You echo before chuckling.

           "Exactly." He breathes, poking your nose. Your nose wrinkles and you give him a look.

           "Hey Kiyoomi. If we kiss a lot do you think I can become immune to your venom." You ask, peering at his lips.

           "Stop looking at me like you're going to eat me. I will drop you over the ledge." He warns, lips betraying him with a smirk. 

           "I'm hungry and you paralyzed Osamu-" You break off eyes drawn to the sunrise, stealing whatever you had been about to say. Sakusa's eyes soften, watching the sunrise illuminate your beautiful eyes, and the rest of your face.

          "I don't know about the venom but…" You look at him and he steals a kiss. "I wouldn't mind trying." He breathes. You blink a few times before grinning happily.

          "Really?" You sit up a bit and he places a finger to your lips.

          "But I'm going to limit you to two a day." He hums. "Wouldn't want you to get too used to it."

          "But… You just used the last one…" You murmur. 

          "... It's your fault for looking so beautiful just now." He frowns.

          "My fault!? I was just watching the sunrise and you stole my breath away." You defend, returning the frown. He frowns more, glancing at your lips briefly. "Do it. I dare you." 

          "You're the absolute worst." He hisses before leaning in and kissing you again. He presses his forehead to yours when he pulls away, eyes looking into yours.

           "You have the deepest eyes." You murmur 

           "You keep saying that, what does that even mean?"

            "Means I keep getting lost in them." You wink. He deadpans at that, making you snicker.

            "That's it. I'm dropping you off the ledge." He gets up and you swiftly roll out of his arms.

            "Oh… I missed that. Me and Tendo used to play a game with pickup lines. The first to get flustered loses. I think we were at a tie when we last played." You hum straightening up. "Wanna play?"

             "... That's the only one I know." He admits.

             "I'll teach you some more later." You decide.

             "Please don't that sounds really embarrassing." He shakes his head.

             "Maybe for you. Sounds like a lot of fun to me." You smirk.

            "Get away from me." He huffs smiling a bit as he looks away. You grin and head downstairs at that, smiling to yourself. Now you just HAD to use a pickup line on someone. As you reach the second floor, you spot your target. Akaashi. 

            "Hey Akaashi, did you die recently? Because you look like an angel." You smirk. He stops and blinks at you before sighing quietly and coming over, leaning near your ear.

             "Are those really your lips? Because it looks like they have my name written all over them." He breathes before calmly walking away and into his room. You gap at the door with a heavy blush at that.

            "Okay… Apparently I'm no match for him." You whisper going to your room. You go in as Osamu finishes getting dressed with a small scowl. "Morning Samu. You okay?" 

          "Yes." He sighs, peering at you. "I see you've finally woken up." He comments looking down. "Are you ready for today?"

          "Not really, I didn't really sleep last night, and I really tried." You sigh lightly. He blinks, and rubs his cheek.

          "Well, maybe I can make you something to eat that'll wake you up. It won't do us no good if you're tired during the test." He says coming over and giving you a hug. 

         "Mmm." You hug him back, wanting to fall asleep again.

        "... No, wake up." He pulls away with a chuckle, tapping your cheek.

        "Fine…" You grumble. He shakes his head and tells you to get ready before going out. You rub your eyes before grabbing some clothes and going to change in the bathroom. You go back out and head downstairs, bumping into Oikawa in the lobby. 

        "Morning ___, are you ready for your test?" He smiles, arms opening to you. You blink and immediately hug him, nuzzling his chest and starting to fall asleep instantly. He blinks when you don't respond, peering at your face. His jaw drops and he gently scoops you up, starting to grin, sparkles coming off of him. 

        Iwaizumi comes down the stairs and pauses, squinting at Oikawa's bright face. "Stop it. What…" He blinks at you fast asleep.

        "I was chosen!" Oikawa whispers excitedly.

        "... Wait, what?" Iwaizumi blinks in confusion. 

        "I was chosen." Oikawa cuddles you happily.

        "No. ___ needs to wake up," Iwaizumi moves to take you away but chains surround Oikawa.

        "... I refuse. ___ can take the next one." Oikawa grumbles, holding you closer.

        "Shittykawa…" He growls.

        "No. I never get alone time with ___, it's not fair." Oikawa says stubbornly, cheeks puffing slightly. 

        "What's going on?" Kuroo huffs, avoiding the chains as he and Bokuto come downstairs.

         "Oikawa is holding ___ hostage." Iwaizumi sighs.

         "___ chose to fall asleep on me. I am the chosen one." Oikawa informs with a huff.

         "So we just gotta wake ___ up." Kuroo concludes.

         "Don't you dare." Oikawa glares.

         "I got this." Bokuto breathes, stepping forward. Oikawa frowns, shifting uneasily. "Samu food!" Bokuto calls. 

         "Samu food." Your eyes open and you yawn, peering about before spotting Bokuto. "Kotaro." You reach for him. He blinks and grins as the chains slump. 

         "Ah… But…" Oikawa steps back with a small frown. You pause and look at his face. "I don't want to let go yet…" 

         "Aww." You hug his head. "Dorm President is so sweet." You hum as he pauses.

         "___, you don't have to go this time. You can get the next one. Stay with me and let me spoil you." He murmurs with a pout. 

         "But I wanna fight with everyone. They're all so cool I don't want to miss a second." You gasp, getting out of his arms. "But don't look so sad. We'll spend time together soon, okay?"

         "... Fine… Or I could just kidnap you." He tilts his head cutely, chains rattling around you. Everyone instinctively stiffens at that. You step back in surprise, mind going blank. "... I'm kidding guys…" Oikawa assures, chains retracting. "Although I think I could get away with it."

         "I'm going to hit you." Iwaizumi pops his knuckles, stepping in front of you. 

         "I-I was just kidding, don't be mad Iwa-chan." Oikawa smiles uneasily. You blink and hug Iwaizumi from behind, resting your chin on his shoulder, making him freeze.

         "Don't be mad Iwa-chan." You hum. "Oikawa just wanted to cuddle."

          "... You always take his side." Iwaizumi grumbles, looking away from you. 

          "Because you're a bit scary Iwa-chan." You murmur.

          "... You think I'm scary..?" Iwaizumi deflates at that.

          "Just a little bit. Don't ever wanna fight you." You pat his back. 

          "Same." Bokuto and Kuroo pipe in. 

          "Time to eat!" Osamu calls and everyone files into the dining room to eat.

          "Wow. This looks great." You gasp. Bokuto eyes your food with a hungry glint, so you bring his chair closer to yours, making him light up at that. "Samu made mine look really nice right?" You chuckle offering him a bite. He softens with a smile, taking a bite before leaning into you with a hum.

          "Damn owl…" Oikawa, Atsumu, and Kuroo mutter.

          "And that's why you're getting bigger servings." Osamu sighs as you eat cheerfully, Bokuto also helping you with your plate. 

          "Mm… You should eat some more meat ___, you're going to need a lot of strength today." Bokuto breathes, offering you a bite.

           "I think I'll be fine." You hum and take the bite. "But thanks." You smile, licking your lips. He pauses and hugs you, starting to pout.

           "I just realized I might not see you for the rest of the day." He murmurs.

           "The testing sight is that far?" Nishinoya asks.

           "Yeah. You leave in an hour and won't be back until after sundown. The test itself depends on the number of participants, they choose the times depending on that. But I think overall it should take about thirty minutes to finish both parts." Iwaizumi informs.

          "Most of your time goes to the travel, the registration, and then the processing afterwards." Kuroo steals Bokuto's entire plate as he speaks. 

          "But it gives you plenty of time to meet the other heroes all over." Oikawa smiles.

          "Or in Oikawa's instance, be surrounded by adoring fangirls." Daichi deadpans. Oikawa chuckles sheepishly at that, rubbing his neck.

           "I'm not surprised he's that popular though." You comment, leaning your head against Bokuto's. 

           "Are you my fan ___?" Oikawa asks lightly. 

           "Hmm…" You close your eyes. "Yeah. I guess so." You nod. He grins at that. "I'm everyone's fan here." He now deflates, scowling slightly.

           "Yeah but if you had to pick your favorite hero here who would it be?" He asks. 

           "Now why do you gotta ask a hard question like that…" You grumble in thought, trying to decide. "Does it have to be someone here?" You ask.

           "Huh? Who else is there?" Oikawa seemed to be getting a bit distraught now. 

          "How about we keep it in the dorm…" Sugawara hums.

          "Mmm…" You frown in thought. 

          "Come on it can't be that hard." Atsumu taps the table.

          "How about your favorite second year hero-"

          "Bokuto." You answer. Oikawa puts his head on the table at that.

          "If you couldn't handle the answer why did you ask?" Iwaizumi sighs.

          "I really thought it would be me…" Oikawa sighs while Bokuto hugs you even tighter now, cuddling your cheek. 

          "I'm winning." Bokuto breathes happily. There's a pause and you blink in confusion as light glares are tossed his way.

          "Well, what about your favorite first year hero?" Nishinoya asks.

          "That's what I was having the hardest time with. You're all so damn cool." You put a knuckle to your chin, closing your eyes. "Off of the top of my head I wanna say Sakusa, but then Akaashi is so cool and calm too, and his quirk can do so much. Then Noya's quirk is super helpful in a fight and he's so warm and cheerful…. The twins somehow make you feel at ease because it almost looks like they're just playing around when they take down enemies. Ryuu's super strong and reliable. Futakuchi's quirk is awesome and kinda fun to watch him fight. Aone's a defensive beast on the battlefield too. Kenma's fighting style is really something too, max strategy that takes the least effort so he doesn't get tired in a fight…" 

           "You really are having a hard time picking…" Iwaizumi blinks as you continue rambling about your classmates. 

           "It's so cute when ___ starts rambling about us." Osamu sighs with a light blush.

           "Alright. We get it." Sakusa puts on a glove to cover your mouth, pink dusting his cheeks. You blink back and blush lightly, hiding your face in Bokuto's shoulder.

            "Ah s-sorry." You murmur. 

            "So cute." Bokuto hugs you with a grin.

            "Alright first years get ready to leave. You have less than an hour before the bus comes." Iwaizumi says as he finishes eating. "And good luck. We're cheering for you." He adds as he gets up and heads out. 

            "We should start getting to class." Kuroo says, getting up as well. He pats your head before leaving. Oikawa and Bokuto give you big hugs before heading out after them.

            The first years get ready and spend the time they have left chatting about strategies. When the bus gets there, Takeda leads you all on, Akaashi sitting beside you. The bus soon departs and you shift uneasily.

           "Nervous?" Akaashi guesses softly. 

           "Maybe a little bit. Or it's excitement, not sure which to be honest." You rub your hands together, looking at your right glove quietly. He blinks, watching your hands for a moment before offering his. 

            "If it helps." He murmurs when you pause and look at him. You blush lightly before taking his hand, starting to trace his palm quietly. He blinks and looks away as you focus on his hand, a small smile coming to his lips. After a while your head leans on his shoulder, making him pause and look over to find you had fallen asleep. Pink comes to his cheeks and he closes his eyes with a light frown before looking over and adjusting your hoodie so you wouldn't get cold during the ride. He carefully shifts closer to you, a shy frown coming to his lips as he cuddles you, closing his eyes and drifting off as well. 

          "Welcome to the Subarashi License Test! I am Hibarida." The opening ceremony starts after all of the candidates are finally assembled before the giant arena. You gasp quietly, smacking Atsumu's arm happily as you watch the pro. Atsumu chuckles in amusement, grinning excitedly. You feel a tap on your arm and look over, being greeted by Hiro. You smile and give him a hug in greeting. 

         "Today you'll all be subjected to two tests. One for combat and the other for rescuing. The first test is simple, take down five of your colleagues. The corners of the pentagon on the vests you were handed will light up once they sense you've rendered an opponent unconscious. Once your pentagon fully lights up you may make your way to the safe building located at the center of the pentagon. I will explain the second test after the first is completed. Since we have such a big group this time around, your time limit is twenty minutes. Line up at your designated entrance now. I wish you all the best of luck." Hibarida finishes. 

           "So glad he's up and about again." You comment cheerfully.

           "Right? That guy is awesome." Atsumu chuckles.

           "Hm? He hasn't contacted you guys yet? He came by my school last week." Hiro says, peering at his paper. "Ah. Gotta get to my entrance. Good luck. I'm going to avoid you since I want to pass." He gives a wave before taking ghost form and zipping away. 

          "I didn't know he was going for a hero too." You breathe. 

         "There's probably going to be more people we recognize here. But don't forget why we're here." Sakusa says, taking the lead. You nod and everyone follows after him quietly. 

          The metal doors slide open as the start siren echoes the area. You and Nishinoya look at each other. He offers a fearless smile that puts you at ease. You return the smile before looking ahead.

           "Let's go!" You and Nishinoya say together, rushing ahead. The others quickly follow, rushing onto the multi terrain field. An opponent rushes for your group, suddenly twisting about and producing a tornado at you. 

            "Twins!" You call and the fire foxes rush past, producing a fire tornado, crashing into the other and dispersing it, the opponent getting sent into the sky. "Nishinoya."

            "Go finish em." He chuckles, deity tossing you after the opponent. 

            "Sorry buddy, that was a nice surprise attack." You smile when you reach him, fist slamming down into his head. He crashes to the ground and your first corner lights up. Ryuu catches you as you near the ground.

            "That was a mean punch. Almost feel bad for him." He chuckles, setting you down.

            "I just wasn't expecting him to go down that easily." You comment. 

            "Don't let your guard down, the next one might not be so easy." Sakusa says, looking at something before firing a canister over the trees. A few moments later his entire pentagon lights up. Everyone stops to deadpan at him. "Oh… Should've waited to use that…" He mutters.

            "Well, I guess we will be fine if you go on ahead." You chuckle in amusement.

            "Don't take long ___." He meets your gaze. "I don't care if the rest of you pass, but it'll be really disappointing if you manage to fail." He adds as he heads for the center. 

            "... He's seriously O.P sometimes…" Atsumu scoffs.

            "Focus. We've been spotted." Akaashi fires a tranquilizer into the trees, one of his pentagon corners soon lightning up. "Right. Let's go through the forest area, I can smell about ten in there." Atsumu says.

            "The rock terrain has about twenty though." Osamu points out. 

            "That's all open though, it could be hard to defend there." Kenma comments.

            "Well we have Aone's ice and ___'s burst to shield us from sight and attacks." Akaashi points out. 

             "And twenty points would be more profitable with our numbers." Kenma murmurs before nodding. "Let's go with the rock terrain then." The twins lead the way now, Kenma watching from the back. "We have guests up on the cliff." 

            "Got it." Akaashi tosses a flashbang up onto the cliff. There's a burst of light and some fall off the cliff, only to be caught and knocked out by the twins and Nishinoya. 

            "Incoming!" Futakuchi alerts as a trimmer shakes the area. Rocks start to tumble down toward the group. You burst a few that were tumbling toward Kenma. Akaashi crashes into you, both of you narrowly dodging a rock. A small orb of light is tossed off the cliff at you both. You hold onto Akaashi, right hand reaching to burst it. But nothing happens, it touches your hand and light envelopes you and Akaashi.

            The light fades and you blink up at the trees. Akaashi gets up, pulling you to your feet and looking about quickly. "A teleport quirk." He frowns.

            "Shit. That's gonna be a problem." You look about, blades coming out. "Should we go back there?" 

            "They've probably been teleported too." He points out. "Let's do what we can on our own. We just need eight knockouts between us." 

            "Right." You nod. Red glints in the shadows and you both swiftly dodge as blood crystals strike a nearby tree. "Akaashi." You say promptly, moving behind a tree.

            "Yep." He responds, firing a tranquilizer at the attacker, but she slips away swiftly. "Trees are kind of a nuisance for attacking."

            "I can clear them." You offer, peering about warily. 

           "Nah. The cover is also appreciated. Let's move toward the center." He says. You nod and you both move together, keeping an eye out for opponents. A muddy scent reaches your nose just before the ground beneath you softens into mud, making you sink to your thighs. You fall forward but Akaashi grabs your waist, keeping you upright. Something rises from the mud, making you both stiffen as the golem raises its arm. "You can clear the mud." Akaashi whispers against your ear. 

           "Kay." You close your eyes, right arm swinging out and bursting the mud around you both. Akaashi swiftly picks you up, dodging the golem and swiftly moving for cover. 

          "I caught sight of the one using this quirk. Send up dust around us and go that way, bursting whatever trees you come into contact with. You'll find him. Take him out, while I handle his comrade." Akaashi instructs.

          "On it." You nod, bursting the forest floor around you before rushing the way he had pointed. You take out the trees, keeping you out of sight. The mud tries to slow you but you burst it as well. A guy soon comes into view through the particles. He pauses, eyes locking with yours as you swing, fist meeting his temple. He staggers and swings back at you, connecting with your jaw. You kick him back, shaking your head briefly before lunging at him and flipping onto your hands, twisting your body while sending up particles, kicking the side of his head and sending him tumbling. Your second pentagon corner lights up. 

        Someone falls to the ground behind you and you look over to see a girl with a tranquilizer dart in her back. "Gotta thank Sakusa, his toxins really work fast." Akaashi hums, walking up as his third corner lights up. 

         "Heh sure do." You smile and straighten up. "Let's keep going." 

         You both manage to take out one more before you leave the forest, coming to a river area. "Doesn't look like our comrades are in this area either." Akaashi murmurs. 

         "That's okay, they're probably only needing one more take down like you." You say optimistically. Your right shoulder feels a slight tingle, but before you can instinctively move out of the way, a bluish light arrow pierces it. "Tch. Ow." You gasp, blood leaving the wound. You grip your shoulder, another tingle resonating from your forearm. Akaashi moves to grab you but you knock him back, leaning away as an even bigger arrow rips through the space between you two. 

         "___!" Akaashi gasps but the water of the river behind him rises up and sweeps him away in an instant. 

         "Akaashi!" You call after him worriedly. You quickly flip away, dodging another arrow feeling your cheek getting sliced. You move behind a tree, taking in a breath from K.K. 'Calm down. Where did it come from?' You think, closing your eyes. The tree is pierced by a massive arrow above your head. You look up at the arrow before it disappears with a bluish flicker. It almost reminded you of the forcefield that had separated you from your friends back in Inari. 'Straight behind.' You think, diving away as the top part of the tree falls. You aim your right hand at the patch of trees behind you, arm coming undone before you burst it. 

           You catch sight of your attacker as he comes through the particle cloud, making you pause, reforming your arm. "Shirabu…" 

           "Sorry ___, I couldn't help myself when I saw you." He breathes, eyes holding a cold glint. "You sure have a good sense though. I don't normally miss."

           "You uh seem kinda unhappy to see me." You comment, feeling a bit nervous.

           "That's because Ushijima was just talking about having a chat with the headmaster about his views on quirks." Shirabu pulls back as the other points at you, an arrow forming between his index fingers. "The last person that did that was forced to leave the school."

            "Your headmaster sounds like a dick.." You state without thinking. His eyes glint and you swiftly dive out of the way as he fires another arrow. "I don't want to fight with you Shirabu! But I'm about to!"

            "Good. Show me just how good you are. Tendo's precious little friend." He sneers, firing another at you. This one slices the back of your shoulder, making you wince, blades coming back out. You charge him at that, making him hop back, the arrow he had just formed, splitting into two blades. You swing at him and his blades deflect yours. You twist and swing your leg into his side, knocking him off balance before spinning about and withdrawing your blades as you land a blow on his neck. He grabs your arm, moving to throw you over his shoulder but you swiftly hook your leg around his and reverse it.

            He coughs as you sling him into the ground, swiftly restraining his arms and raising your right fist to knock him about. You can't follow through though. He blinks up at you with challenge in his eyes. "I can't." You frown.

           "You… Are you a fool? Don't take pity on me! You can't show a villain mercy." He snaps, glaring up at you.

           "I know that! I just… Don't want to hurt your face." You frown. He gaps at you at that, pink rising to his cheeks.

           "Then don't hit me in the face you idiot!" He shouts.

           "Well I don't want to hurt the rest of you either…" 

           "Then what do you plan to do?! The moment you let me up I'll kick your ass! So do something!" He tells you. You open your mouth but a giant snowball comes flying at you both from a nearby cliff. You loosen your grip, looking over and raising your right hand, bursting it. Shirabu swiftly frees himself, slinging you onto your back and sitting on your stomach as he fires an arrow at the one who had sent the snowball. The arrow turns into a ball smacking them in the head. The fourth light on his pentagon lights up. 

          "Wow." You blink up at him in surprise. He glares down at you at that, raising his fist. You tense slightly, closing an eye. His fist comes down, but stops, making him grit his teeth. A tick mark comes to his temple. You blink at him in confusion as he takes in a deep breath, gripping your shoulders. 

          "Do something! I wasn't even holding your arms down dammit!" He shakes your shoulders roughly. "And don't go looking at me in awe right after I said I was going to kick your ass! What's wrong with you?" 

           "B-But you looked so cool from this angle." You manage, head spinning slightly.

          "Tch." He puts a hand over his face and gets up, pulling you up as well he calms down and fixes you with a glare that seems to be saying. 'This means nothing. I don't acknowledge you in the least. Fool. You're a damn fool.' 

          "Um… Are you okay?" You blinks, touching his arm. He jerks away from you with pink cheeks.

          "I'll let you go this time. But don't get any weird ideas." He growls before taking off. 

          "Damn. I still need two." You sigh. "I hope Akaashi is alright." You frown peering about. You decide to go back to the river to follow it, pausing when you spot your teammate walking up, soaking wet and the pentagon on his vest fully lit. "Akaashi!" You gasp, going over and hugging him. He blinks, pink coming to his cheeks. "You're all cold and wet. Are you okay?" You rub his cheeks worriedly. He tenses slightly, closing his eyes.

          "I'm fine. You don't need to worry, I'll make something to dry off." He assures. 

          "Okay. Good job on passing." You smile, releasing his face. He blinks at you, glancing at your pentagon before touching the center of it. You pause as he leans over coming nose to nose with you.

          "Get this lit up. I'll wait for you at the safe zone." He breathes softly, making you blush.

          "Y-Yes. Right away." You nod quickly. He smiles lightly at that before going past you. He closes his eyes as pink suddenly covers his face, touching his chest as he walks on. "He's so cool and calm…" You mutter watching his back in awe. 

           A tremor resonates from a nearby area up ahead. You swallow and nod to yourself. "Okay, time to go big." You breathe, rushing on. You follow the tremors to a stone valley, a giant guy swings his arm at a cliff face, odd green eyes searching for something. "... Maybe not that big…" You cough before pausing as red and blue flames force him away from the cliff. "Dammit Miya…." You run toward the giant he moves back as the large fire foxes leap at him. He moves to swing his arm but you swiftly burst a whole beneath his left leg, making him fall instead. Osamu connects with his head at that. The force seemed to be enough as he shrinks, falling toward the ground, you swiftly leap, catching the now small guy. Atsumu lands on another opponent nearby, knocking them out. 

            "Yes! Just in time ___!" Atsumu cheers, his and Osamu's pentagons lit up. 

            "That was close you two!" You snap, setting the guy down gently. They jump slightly at that.

            "Sorry, we were falling anyway," Atsumu says holding up his hands. "You still need two? You're slacking." He frowns though he was trying to tease you. 

            "Don't give me that worried look! I got time!" You huff, anxiety rising. You were going to be left behind. Osamu places a hand on your cheek, making you pause.

             "There's at least five in that cave system. Go get your last two points." He says nodding to an opening in the cliff. You nod and rush on, the twins watching after you. "Too bad the rescue doesn't count on this one. We were seriously lucky ___ appeared."

              "Right?... Not much we can do now though. Let's wait at the safe zone." Atsumu says, but doesn't move, looking toward the cave with a small frown. "... How much trouble would I get into if I kept fighting?" He wonders.

             "Let's not risk it bro." Osamu pushes him toward the safe zone. "And don't forget, this is ___ we're talking about here."

            You pause, reaching darkness, and swallow, debating if you should use the light on your armor. A hand suddenly reaches toward you from the darkness, you lean back, instinctively kicking up and meeting their chin, making your  fourth pentagon corner light up. 

            'Oh, okay then.' You think, stepping over him and rushing into the darkness. You turn on the light on your armor in time to stop before hitting a wall. You turn, following it along until light appears ahead. You turn off your light as you approach it. As you reach a small lit cavern, a piece of wall leaps at you, turning into someone as he swings a stone leg at you. Your arms move up instinctively, shielding your head before you're sent into a wall. "Ow." You cough but before you can move to dodge the next hit, a pair of arms leave the wall and pin you in place.

          "Sorry ___.” Hiro breathes next to your ear.

          "You picked the wrong cave." The stone guy chuckles, the stone residing from his upper body and he takes in a deep breath as if he had been under water. "Lights out." He moves to swing but a fist connects with the side of his face, sending him tumbling. You blink at the figure wearing a silver fox mask. 

           "Time to go." Hiro disappears back through the wall. You and the silver mask look at each other and you warily raise your fists. He pauses, suddenly grabbing you and pulling you away from the wall as spikes come out suddenly. You wince as a few dig into your back, breaking the skin.

            "Damn. So close." A girl's voice sighs. You blink toward the voice right hand swiftly bursting the floor as spikes rush at you both. Silver Fox swiftly scoops you up, carrying down into the dark tunnels. Your body twitches slightly, first instinct was to knock him back, but his scent was familiar to you. He soon stops beneath a small sliver of light, looking back where you both had come from. 

           "You got hurt." He looks back to you, familiar eyes blinking at you. 

           "... Kita?" You tilt your head.

           "Even like this you recognize me?" He seems surprised, lifting the mask to give you a small smile. "That makes me absurdly happy." You gasp in shock and hug him.

           "What are you doing here?!" You ask.

           "I decided to take the hero course this year. I'm taking the test too." He hums. You pull back and look at his pentagon. "We both need one more." 

           "Then let's team up." You smile.

           "We already have. Here. Let me heal you." He breathes, leaning forward and capturing your lips. You hum and kiss him back, the pain easing from your back. He pulls away, cupping your cheek. "Better?"

            "I'm in a bit of a daze now but I'm good." You give a thumbs up. He smiles again in amusement. 

            "Good. The one we just saw wasn't alone. Let's go repay them." He puts the mask in place and you nod. You both head back through the tunnels, Kita guiding you along in the darkness effortlessly. A flicker of light ahead catches your eye and you feel the grind of stone at your feet. You swiftly swipe your hand, bursting the spikes that came for you again before launching forward, fist connecting with her nose. Your pentagon lights up now and you pause in surprise.

           "I actually hit her! I was just guessing!" You gasp. There's a grunt of another person nearby and someone drops to the floor.

          "Yeah you surprised me there." Kita admits as his pentagon lights up as well. 

          "I just… I don't know. Sensed where she was? The spikes felt short ranged that time." You tilt your head, putting on your right glove. 

          "You're really full of surprises." He takes your hand and guides you out of the cave.

          "Can you see in the dark? You were moving like you could see." You comment. He nods slightly.

          "I wouldn't call it a quirk, but it's definitely a family trait," He breathes before looking at you. 

          "I noticed your eyes do reflect the light well…" You comment, meeting his gaze. "And they're really beautiful."

          "I was just thinking how beautiful yours are actually." He says in amusement. You blush lightly and hide your face in his arm. He chuckles, rubbing your hand gently. "Told you I would see you today." He rumbles. You peek up at his mask. 

           "I like your mask, you look mysterious." You hum. 

           "I wanted to surprise you. And it's safer like this." He touches it thoughtfully. You reach the safe zone and let go of his hand, hurrying inside. 

           "Dorm One!" You cheer, holding up your arms.

           "Dorm One!" Nishinoya, Ryuu and the twins echo, running up to hug you. 

           "Finally." Sakusa sighs coming over with the rest.

           "Everyone's here? Awesome!" You chime. "And look, I found a friend." You point at Kita. "Bet you can't guess who!" 

           "... Who is that?" Nishinoya blinks in confusion.

           "Hi Kita." The twins and Kenma greet.

           "All three of you are cheaters." You pout.

           "You should've seen that coming." Kita chuckles, lifting his mask. "Good to see you guys."

           "You're full of surprises." Nishinoya tells him.

           "I'll take that as a compliment." Kita breathes.

           "Alright, rest up and hydrate. The next part starts soon." Sakusa says, nudging you to the tables where they had drinks and snacks.

           "I hope it's not as bad as the fighting portion." You comment, spotting Shirabu.

           "To be honest. I think it's going to be worse."
