To The Murder Train
"Alright, I just got the reminder, we have our bags ready right?" You look from your phone to Tendo.
"Yep! Did you finish eating?" He hums with a head tilt.
"I did. Samu food." You give a thumbs up.
"Thanks Samu!" Tendo calls handing you your backpack. "Got the location pulled up?"
"Mhm. Apparently there's a sub station near Sakura. If we leave now it should be like twenty minutes early. Give us time to evaluate the competition." You tell him.
"Ooo someone is in a winning mood today." He rumbles kissing your cheek.
"I think if we get the prize I can repay Nishinoya for the idea." You purse your lips. "I can't see the rounds taking four hours, so maybe there's more prizes."
"Oh I see. Prizes to gifts then?" He nods in understanding.
"Mhm. Depending on what they are." You smile. "Ready?"
"My dearest, I've been ready since we woke up." He chuckles happily. You smile and lead him downstairs and to the lobby.
"We're off!" You call.
"Have fun! Bring back snacks!" Bokuto glomps you happily.
"Take care!" Nishinoya chimes hugging you too.
"Make sure you eat." Osamu says.
"Guys. I'm not going for a week. I'll be back soon, don't worry." You give them a smile.
"Just take care okay? And stay clean." Kiyoomi hums.
"Of course." You chuckle lightly.
"Okay let's get going." Tendo takes your hand to leave but you hesitate, peering about.
"Atsumu?" You call lightly, not seeing him. No response, the others peering about for him. You frown and take off your backpack, opening it to find the fox shrinking down. You pull him out with a huff. "You really can't help yourself huh?"
"I don't want to go… It's just… I'll miss you…" The Fox's ears droop.
"Aww someone really wants to go on a date with you." Tendo nudges you playfully.
"Later Tsumu. Change back and give me a hug so I can go." You say, putting him down before zipping up your backpack and straightening up with it. He does so, giving you a big hug for a few moments before releasing you so you and Tendo can go. "I'll see you guys later." You wave as you and Tendo leave.
"Alright. I called us a ride to cut the time in case the tracks go out." He smiles cheerfully, nodding to a rather expensive looking car as you both leave campus.
"... Wow Tendo…." You blink in surprise. He just hums, opening the back door for you before climbing in after you settle in, blinking at the tinted glass that obscures the driver. 'Death?' You wonder curiously.
"I just want today to go smoothly since you were sweet enough to plan this for us." Tendo rumbles in response, quick to cuddle up to you happily.
"Of course. You always took me out on little dates and little adventures… I probably owe you like a hundred dates now…" You remark. "But it was hard just figuring out this one…"
"Not true. You thought of The kiddie pool one." He points out kissing your cheek.
"You're the one that said kiddie pool… I just added to it." You remind him. His arms come around you and he cuddles his cheek with yours.
"Don't worry about it! I'm really just happy like this! Cuddling you… Kissing your soft skin." He whispers, pecking your cheek again. He rests his chin on your shoulder with a soft smile. "I love you." You meet his soft, warm gaze and let out a breath before kissing him in response. He hums in surprise as you press him against the car door.
"_-_-___…" He stammers, breaking the kiss, pink covering his face. "W-We should behave a bit. The driver…" He chuckles sheepishly with a small smile. How cute he seemed now.
"He'll be fine." You breathe making his eyes widen as you lean forward again. You smirk before covering his face in kisses until a small laugh leaves him.
"That tickles!" He chuckles covering your mouth and making you pull back, eyes glimmering in amusement. "What's gotten into you?"
"Hmm… Don't know. Just feel like cuddling and adoring you." You smile before cuddling his chest. He blinks before softening and holding you close, cuddling you in return.
"Ah…. I love you so much… You make me so happy." He sighs in content. His eyes narrow slightly before he runs a finger down your neck, finding the chain and tugging it up so the ring can tumble from your shirt. He peers at the ring, holding it up between his fingers. Another blush rises to his cheeks and he shifts. "Hey ___? Could you wear this for me? Just for today?" He whispers carefully as you peer at it.
"Okay." You hold up your left hand as he removes the chain and frees the ring. He hums biting his lip slightly as he slides it onto your ring finger. He lets out a breath before kissing the ring and cuddling his cheek against your palm.
"So happy…" He smiles softly, closing his eyes. You smile watching him before you both drift off into a nap.
"We're here! Hm? Doesn't look like anyone has arrived yet." Tendo peers about the empty train station.
"Well we are pretty early." You hum peering about as well, pausing as he hugs you from behind.
"Fine by me, means I can kiss you all I want for now." He kisses your cheek happily.
"Heh. You're too sweet." You hum as he kisses the ring on your finger softly.
"Oh. Hello?" Someone calls making you both look over at the guy as he approaches.
"Hello." You and Tendo greet.
"You're here for the murder train too right? I'm Iizuna." He nods as a familiar face peers over his shoulder.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Tendo and this is ___."
"Hm? Komori?" You blink as the other male steps out from behind Iizuna.
"Hey ___," Komori smiles before giving a slight bow. "Tendo-san." He adds.
"You can drop the honorific… Been a while Komori." Tendo waves his hand.
"You know each other?" Iizuna comments to Komori.
"Yeah. We all grew up near each other with Sakusa." Komori answers him. "I spoke to him a few days ago. I'm glad to see you doing well." He tells you.
"Heh… It's been a long week." You respond sheepishly.
"Long month too.." Tendo agrees and you both look at eachother.
"Should we just mark the year as long?" You tilt your head.
"Yeah. It's gonna be a long one." Tendo nods.
"Ah. I see." Komori chuckles with a nod.
"Still it's good to see you. Wasn't expecting to see a familiar face." You tell him.
"You too. Iizuna-senpai won the trip in a raffle. So he brought me along." He tells you.
"Eh? Lucky." You chuckle.
"For once." Iizuna laughs lightly. "I didn't know they had a murder train here until I won that. But I checked it out and found that this one is actually shown on live television." He says with a smile.
'Awe… He's adorable…' You blink at him.
"Live tv you say?" Tendo blinks and you pause and look at eachother. "Did you know about that, Paradise?"
"No. I should have guessed though with the prizes… Wonder if Nishinoya knew." You murmur, bringing the knuckle of your left index to your chin in wonder. Iizuna blinks at your hand before smiling.
"So you're here on a date with your fiance then?" He guesses. You blink at him in confusion and Tendo straightens with a small blush, eyes wide before he grins happily.
"Ah… You're wrong but I do like that…" Tendo chuckles sheepishly. "I asked ___ to wear our promise ring on that finger for our date today…." He informs lightly.
"I see… That's really cute actually. Good for you." Iizuna smiles. "Is it okay if I still refer to you as that?"
"... I like this guy." Tendo grins to you. He seemed incredibly happy about the situation, so you couldn't help but smile thoughtfully.
"Yeah. He seems cool." You hum before looking over as more people join.
"Hey! ___!" A young blonde woman waves coming up with a blond guy. You blink at her, tilting your head.
"Ah! You must Saeko nee-chan!" You gasp.
"That's right." The woman grins.
"Tendo. This is Ryuu's big sis." You tell him happily.
"Really? Couldn't tell. Nice to meet you." Tendo gives a nod.
"I'm Akiteru Tsukishima. It's nice to meet you ___.” The blond guy with her gives a smile. "Thanks for watching out for my little brother back on the island." He rumbles as you gap at him.
"It's nice to meet you too!" You give a bow.
"Um… Hello." A girl with short black hair waves to the group.
"Hey! It's Kanoka! How ya been?" Saeko greets enthusiastically.
"I'm good… How have you been Saeko nee-chan?" Kanoka responds, playing with her hair.
A few more guys soon join up, Akagi, Udai, and Mami. There was still ten more minutes before the train arrived so everyone mingled and chatted.
"You did well in the tournament." Udai comments to you thoughtfully.
"Oh. Thanks Mr. Udai. But I could've done better." You breathe sheepishly.
"I believe it… So what are your thoughts on internship? Got any agencies you would like to study at?" He inquires curiously.
"Um I don't know… Weren't a bunch just attacked?" You tilt your head.
"The ones linked HQ were. They don't take in interns anyway. I'm from the Little Giant agency." He points to himself.
"Ohh. I remember that Hero. Don't you ___?" Tendo beams.
"Yeah. He's the one that threw a villain into our picnic when we were little." You nod.
"Oh that's right, you were so grumpy over it. You were puffing your cheeks out like an angry hamster." Tendo chuckles.
"Of course I was. That took me all morning." You grumble.
"... I'm so sorry…" Udai gives you both a guilty bow. You both blink at him in confusion. "That… was me…" He says straightening up.
"Oh." You breathe before you and Tendo blink in shock.
"Eh? Really?" Tendo breathes in surprise before you both look at each other.
"We're very sorry." You tell him in unison.
"There's a lot of apologizing going on here…" Saeko comments, coming back over with Akiteru and Kanoka.
"Heh. Alright. Let's take a step back." You straighten up. "I wasn't mad at you. The situation was just unfortunate."
"Yes. But I used to be very reckless and didn't mind my surroundings so it was my fault." He frowns.
"Then I forgive you. So we're good." You give a thumbs up.
"... I am so confused." Saeko breathes.
"Don't worry about it. We're good." Udai gives a thumbs up to you as he responds to her.
"I see the train." Akagi points making everyone look over.
"An old fashioned passenger train…" Tendo tilts his head.
"No wonder they need their own tracks for this." You mutter. The train squeals to a stop and the conductor hops off with a clipboard, checking everyone over before checking the papers.
"Good. Looks like everyone is here. Here are the keys to your rooms. Go change to start the game." He passes everyone a key. "Board there." He adds pointing before heading back to the front of the train.
"Alright." Udai goes to the door and opens it. "Right this way I guess." He holds the door open to let everyone in. You move down the walkway to the door with a matching number to your key. You unlock it and pause as Tendo kisses your cheek.
"See you soon love." He smiles before going into his room. You smile after him before going into your room and locking the door. A wardrobe sits against the wall and you open it to find some classic 1920's attire. You blink at the drawer below as it pops open. You take up the envelope and open it, a hologram disc pops out and you catch it.
'Welcome ___! You're the murderer for round one! I'm your Host! Uzu! In the drawer you'll find your first weapon, and eye contacts. The eye contacts will show you things that you can use to help you succeed. They'll deactivate when you're no longer the murderer. Please try to refrain from destroying things during your reign of horror. Also. There's a timer and indicator that you'll see for a mail drop. You can grab those to find more useful items. But be warned, amongst the passengers is a detective. They carry a gun to stop you. And if the passengers find your identity. It'll be game over.' The small holographic host says cheerfully.
"Alright… The prize?" You ask lightly.
'The first prize for the first game is an all expense paid island resort vacation!' The hologram shows you images and you smile.
"Noya would like that…" You murmur and straighten. Actually any of the guys would like that. "I wonder if I can win it for one of them…" You blink. 'Though why am I the murderer right away?' You frown lightly.
'Meet the rest in the food cart when you're ready!' The host chimes before the hologram shuts off.
You nod and decide to dress in whatever would be more efficient for your role. 'So I gotta take out everyone…' You think it over before smiling. "Hope you're ready Midnight." You smirk tossing up the dagger.
After you get ready, you shut everything and head out, walking into Tendo. "Awe. You look nice in that." He peers over your attire.
"You too." You hum. He wore mostly black, slacks, button up shirt, and black trench coat and a purple tie.
"Thank you, Paradise." He beams at the compliment and takes your hand. "Let's go, the dining cart is this way. The contacts you had put in start to highlight things as you walk through the cart with Tendo. He opens the door to the next cart and you step over the gap, peering at the connector that was also highlighted.
'So I can disconnect the carts…' You note as you both continue through another cart.
When you reach the dining cart, you take a seat next to Tendo at a long table, peering over the others that were all gathering at the table.
"Welcome everyone! Please have a seat, your food will be delivered shortly." Uzu greets everyone, appearing in a hologram at the end of the table. "Just so you know, you may begin at anytime. There are hints throughout the train to find the killer. So do your best to survive until all pieces are found." He then snaps his fingers and small portals appear above the table, lowering the plates of food in front of everyone.
"Now that's a nice quirk." You comment.
"Mm it's alright." Tendo pokes at the food before taking a bite. "Not bad."
"So ___, how is Ryuu?" Saeko inquires happily as everyone starts to eat.
"Awesome as always. He's really looking more like a dragon whenever I see him fight now." You respond with a smile.
"Hm? A dragon quirk?" Udai hums.
"Yeah. Runs in the family. I think Ryuu will be able to take the quirk to new heights." Saeko grins. "My adorable little bro~"
"Aww." Tendo chuckles.
"How about Sakusa?" Komori asks you lightly.
"He's good." You grin.
"More than good, he's doing great. Never seen that guy so at ease." Tendo rumbles nudging you.
"Yeah. Raizu is amazing." You nod thoughtfully.
"I don't think that's it. But the school really has changed a few people." Tendo breathes. You nod and peer about, your eyes locking on a highlighted switch behind Komori.
'To turn off lights blink twice.' A text pops up.
'Ah. So that should give me an opening to kill… But who…' Your eyes wander before landing on Udai briefly. 'Yeah. It has to be the Little Giant first if I want to win.'
"Hey guys. Can I cast to the TV? Murder Train is about to come on." Nishinoya says coming in.
"Murder Train? Like where ___ took Tendo?" Ryuu asks.
"Mhm. It's a series on the Tubez. It's getting pretty popular and they should be showing today's contestants right now." Nishinoya smiles. The guys pause.
"Hurry! Put it on!" Oikawa and Atsumu gasp together, Oikawa falling over the back of the couch.
"I'll make some popcorn." Osamu says hurrying to the kitchen.
"So you guys wanna make bets on the killers or will that show?" Kuroo asks.
"They show the killers once they get started." Nishinoya says casting to the television.
"Looks like they're having dinner." Ushijima comments.
"___ looks so hot in those clothes!" Oikawa gasps.
"Nice." Atsumu nods in agreement.
"... That food looks good." Bokuto breathes.
"They're talking. Turn up the volume a bit." Kiyoomi requests. Nishinoya does so and they catch the last of your conversation with Komori.
"Looks like no one is dead yet." Nishinoya hums.
"There's my sis." Ryuu points.
"Lights are off." Atsumu breathes and everyone leans forward curiously before they come on again.
"Ah! That guy is down!" Bokuto points.
"Seems familiar…" Daichi breathes.
"Isn't that the Little Giant?" Sugawara breathes.
"Oh man. I can tell this is going to be a great round." Nishinoya chuckles excitedly.
