"I have never been happier to shower!" You gasp as you come out.

"It's been a week and you keep saying that..." Atsumu comments.

"I wish you'd be as enthusiastic about showering." Osamu mutters, causing a fight with his brother. You smile watching them wrestle. It has been a week, but a fast one, the island life still stuck in the back of your mind. You haven't seen anyone from the island since then, but you were keeping in contact with Daishou and Mika.

"Hey ___, let's go on a date." Oikawa hums in the doorway, making the twin fight stop.

"Get in line." Osamu tells him.

"But I'll be an old guy by the time you take ___ on a date." Oikawa complains.

"... Alright ___, we're going somewhere today." Osamu tells you, a light blush coming to his cheeks.

"Don't feel rushed Samu. I'm fine with waiting." You smile.

"I know. But this week seems like a good one... They should all be doing their thing at least..." He trails off in thought and walks out.

"And now his mind is on food." Atsumu shakes his head.

"He's so cute." You smile after him. Atsumu frowns, giving you a look. "Jealousy looks good on you Atsumu."

"I feel like you enjoy this too much." He sighs.

"I know I do." Oikawa smirks.

"Did you want something else, dorm president?" You ask. He pauses looking at you before smiling and opening his arms inviting you to hug him. He's been doing this a lot lately.

"Oikawa, Iwaizumi is looking for you, mentioned the cleaning schedule..." Sakusa says in the doorway.

"... Hide me." Oikawa whispers to you.

"... IWAIZUMI!" Atsumu calls making Oikawa go to the window.

"I will remember this." Oikawa hisses before opening the window and jumping out.

"... I used to be afraid of that guy." You marvel.

"Simple times..." Sakusa comments. Atsumu glances between you two and goes to the window.

"I'll just... See you." He coughs awkwardly before jumping out too.

"... Has it become that obvious?" Sakusa rubs his neck looking down.

"They think we're fighting." You sigh.

"... Oh, I see... We're not. Right?" He peers at you.

"No. We just set boundaries since I keep nearly crossing the line." You remind him. "I think it's working at least."

"That's good. Can I come closer or are you going to try and pounce on me?" He teases lightly.

"... A little bit closer." You breathe. He comes within a foot of you, watching you with some amusement.

"This wouldn't be so bad if you'd just stop thinking about it." He says. You glance at him and frown lightly. He made it sound so easy, but it's not like he could possibly understand how he affected you.

"Right." You huff looking away. His brows knit together at the response, and he tilts his head.

"You know it's impossible for us to be like that ___... So stop." He states, becoming a bit cold before going out. A stab to the heart is what those words were.

"I will!" You snap after him. You swallow down a lump and shake off your frustration before getting changed into something cuter and heading down to the kitchen where Osamu was packing a picnic basket.

"Hey. You okay? I heard you yell..." He peers at you.

"I'm fine." You murmur giving a small smile. He looks you over before giving a small nod.

"Alright then." He breathes. "You look cute, are you ready to go?" He asks. You smile at the praise and nod. He comes around the counter with the picnic basket, taking your hand and heading out with you. His hand is a bit sweaty, you peer at his face to find his lips pressed in a straight line.

"Are you nervous?" You murmur. He blushes lightly, looking ahead.

"I am now..." He mutters.

"You're making me nervous now." You tell him. He blinks and peers at you and relaxing with a chuckle.

"Sorry." He breathes.

"That's okay. You're just being really cute today." You smile.

He smiles in return, guiding you to the train station. It was a bit packed today, so you stand, holding onto a hand railing. Osamu holds you from behind, chin resting on your shoulder. You smile a bit, glancing at him a few times before kissing his cheek and making him pause in surprise. He meets your gaze and smiles a bit, hugging you warmly.

"I hope you like this place, I've been thinking about it for a while now." He says lightly.

"Really? Aren't you a careful planner." You tease lightly.

"Actually I was just hesitant. It's not very flashy or anything..." He glances to the side.

"I see... But you know. Just spending alone time with you sounds fun on its own." You cuddle his cheek affectionately. He chuckled a bit, kissing your cheek in response.

"That's why I like you." He breathes. "So bright and optimistic."

"Heh. You're so sweet Osamu." You hum.

It actually takes two hours before you reach the stop. Osamu shifts slightly as he leads you off nervously. You pause, the valley was covered in a beautiful variety of flowers. Osamu watches your face carefully.

"It's so pretty!" You gasp taking out your new phone (since the other one is at the bottom of the ocean some where... You have terrible phone luck). "Pictures!" You start to take pictures cheerfully.

"That's the reaction I was hoping for." Osamu smiles and you pause to take a picture of him.

"So cute. We're going to have so many awesome pictures!" You chime. Osamu chuckles and you both tour the flower fields together taking pictures here and there before he sets up the picnic for you.

"I'm glad this is going so well. I half expected something to interrupt us." He murmurs as you join him.

"Yeah. Atsumu did say I was cursed." You sigh.

"I'll kick his ass later." Osamu frowns.

"He's right though." You lean on him. He blinks, glancing at you before opening the picnic basket.

"I don't agree but. I think if it hadn't been for everything we've been through, I don't think we would all be as close as we are. And according to FireCrow, we may be the strongest first year class this country has seen in a while... It all has an upside too." He takes out some food, sending you a smile.

"Right. Everything is alright." You smile back.

*Meanwhile*

Tendo hums as he checks his phone, going through an alley. "Oh ___... You look so cute on your flower date." He messages you after receiving the pictures, a pungent rot smell suddenly surrounding him. "Don't you think so too Kobalt?" He shows a picture to blue haired man that stood behind him.

"Yer friend is cute alright... You the one that's supposed to be paying me?" Death tilts his head, red eyes peering at him carefully.

"Yes. My father has a gift for me. But the prison makes it impossible for him to send it to me." Tendo turns, handing him a wooden box. "Midnight insists this gets done tonight. He has important plans that he wants to see flourish."

"I'm yer man then. Ya tell that black and purple baddy that I'll get yer lil gift from ya pop." Death takes the box and smiles a bit. "See ya later." He departs, hopping back down in the manhole he had came out of, black water moving the lid back into place. Tendo coughs, spraying himself with cologne before continuing on.

"The infinite sure is getting closer now." He breathes, smiling to himself as one of his eyes start to glow. "Such beauty..."

*

"We should start heading back." Osamu says after your third trip around the field after lunch.

"Okay... One more picture though." You smile, pulling him closer and kissing his cheek as you take the final picture.

"I want all of those pictures by the way." Osamu chuckles sheepishly.

"I'll send them to you." You grin as you both walk back to the train station. "Thanks for this, it was fun." You hum.

"Next time I'll have to find a place with more going on." He says in thought.

"Heh next time huh? Not bored of me yet?" You joke.

"What? No, I'm just getting started." He kisses the back of your hand as you get a seat together.

"Oh? Can't wait to see what else you have in mind." You smile, leaning on him.

"... My mind just went blank so.. Give me a moment." He manages rubbing his cheek.

"Hm? Oh! Daishou! It's ___ and Atsumu!" A familiar voice gasps and you look over as Mika sits beside you, throwing her arms around you. "I missed you!"

"Mika!" You chime hugging her back.

"What luck running into you two again..." Daishou greets, pausing as he looks at Osamu. "Mika this is Atsumu's brother.."

"Oh! Sorry about that Osamu." Mika apologizes sheepishly.

"I'm used to it. What are you two up to?" Osamu asks.

"Daishou is escorting me home. I was visiting my family earlier." Mika smiles.

"I hate it when she takes the train alone so I came along." Daishou says lightly.

"Dai-chan is so sweet." You tease.

"He really is." Mika giggles and he sighs looking away with a blush.

"So good to see you again, ___." Daishou breathes.

"Good to see you too boss." You chuckle. The four of you chat for about twenty minutes before a tremor shakes the train. You and Daishou look at each other before the train lurches and you grab him before he can fall.

"Mika!" You both say and she quickly hugs you, forcefield coming out just before the train jerks off of the tracks, falling onto it's side. You and Daishou get up as cries of panic sound.

"Let's go." Daishou breathes.

"Right." You burst the top of the train, getting out and rushing with Daishou and Osamu to the front of the train where a giant villain was rampaging.

"The guy's actually drooling." Osamu comments.

"He needs to take a nap." You hum, taking off your glove and you leaning down and bursting the ground under one of the villain's feet. He stumbles and Daishou and Osamu charge him, colliding into his chest. Daishou wraps around his neck while Osamu causes the villain to trip.

You smile a bit, compared to the villain's you've encountered, this guy seemed easy. Daishou's grip knocks him out soon enough and you move to help the passengers. The pros reach the area after a while, thanking you three for the help.

"Still a while before we reach home." You comment. " But. I think we could walk to Kita's from here. You two want to come along?"

"Sure. Sounds nice." Mika smiles.

"We always seem to get stranded together huh?" Daishou comments before smiling. "But it keeps things interesting. Lead the way." He pats your head.

"Yes." You chime starting off.

"Gonna be a long walk huh... Should've made more food." Osamu comments.

"Oh that's right, ___ said you're a great cook. Did you two go on a picnic?" Mika peers at the basket.

"Yeah. I took ___ to the flower fields." Osamu smiles a bit looking down sheepishly.

"Aww. How cute." She giggles. "Daishou took me there before. But a villain had tore through most of them."

"It was rotten timing." Daishou sighs.

"I was worried that would happen to us." Osamu admits.

"Well it worked out for you it seemed... Until the train part." Daishou chuckles.

"I didn't mind the train thing. No one was hurt and I feel like it went smoothly." You smile at your hand. Daishou blinks at you at that before smiling a bit.

"So did they decide a new date for your license test? Since you missed the last one." He inquires.

"Next week actually. For sure... Unless something else pops up." You joke.

"Don't jinx us." Osamu pokes your cheek.

"Sorry." You hum and pause as your phone goes off. "It's your twin." You tell him before putting Atsumu on speaker. "Hey Tsumu."

'We just saw the news... You guys okay? Do you need Bokuto to come get ya?'

"Nah. We're all good. Heading to Kita's." You tell him.

'I wanna see Kita!' Bokuto's voice sounds in the background. 'Im on my way ___!'

"Okay Bokuto." You laugh in amusement. "He's so cute."

'Thank you!'

'Oi! Wait!... Damn... Well you two stay safe. See you in the morning I guess... Sleep well....' Atsumu grumbles. You and Osamu share a look at his tone.

"So lame bro." Osamu comments.

"See you in the morning my cute sunshine." You hum before hanging up. "He's not going to be very nice in the morning." You breathe.

"Definitely going to be grumpy." Osamu nods.

"We'll have to give him something sweet for an offering." You agree.

"It's like you're trying to calm a cat or something." Daishou remarks.

"Pretty much. But more like a fox." You peer at him.

"Fun."

It was getting near sunset when you reach Kita's house. You swallow and knock on the door lightly. There's shuffling before his grandma opens the door.

"The wolf returns." She smiles.

"Hello again, may we stay for the night? There was a problem with the trains again." You smile.

"Of course, come on in. Kita will return soon." She tells you.

"Alright. I'll show you guys to the guest room." You tell the three, leading them to the room. "Blankets and pillows are in that closet." You tell them with a point. They nod and start to prep the room as you return to the main room.

"You seem to have grown since our last meeting, Wolf." Grandma breathes as you sit with her.

"I feel like I have.... How have you been?" You ask lightly.

"I've been well... Kita has been anxious to see you again. He'll be happy to find you here." She hums.

"That so? I'm glad to hear that. I really need to memorize his number since I keep losing phones." You sigh.

"You've had another adventure I take it?" She guesses.

"Yes. A grand one too. Where I met those two new faces you just seen." You smile. "I'll tell you when Kita gets here."

"I can't wait." She chuckles. You both peer at the door and you get up, going to the door and opening it up as Kita walks up. He blinks and pauses when he sees you.

"Welcome home." You greet giving a big smile. His eyes widen slightly before he smiles warmly.

"I'm home." He says giving you a hug. "I thought you were ignoring me."

"What? Never. I just couldn't get your messages since my phone is at the bottom of the ocean... You been working out?" You pull back, feeling his sides.

"Sort of." He hums going in. You move to close the door when a feathered bundle crashes into your chest.

"I made it! Record time too!" Chibi Bokuto chimes. You chuckle and close the door, holding him to your chest.

"Nice one Bokuto." You hum.

"Hello again Bokuto." Kita greets.

"Hi Kita!"

"So. I was just about to tell Grandma about my latest adventure. You interested?" You ask with a smile.

"Always. I'll make some tea." He responds. After he makes the tea, he sits with you as you tell the story, Bokuto falling asleep on your lap when you near the end of your tale.

"Sounds like you had fun despite the circumstances." Grandma comments with a chuckle.

"Gotta do what you can right? No room for panic." You smile.

"I'm glad you're back safe and sound. The hero life sure sounds hectic. I hope you're resting when you can." Kita breathes.

"I am... Mostly." You shrug.

"Good... Now come. It's time for bed." He says lightly, getting up.

"Right, goodnight Grandma." You tell her getting up as well.

"Sleep well." She waves as Kita guides you to his room.

"Hope you don't mind sharing the bed with me tonight." He breathes as you both go in.

"Of course not," You tell him, laying Bokuto down on the bed before taking off your jacket.

"Here, you can borrow these." Kita passes you some clothes. "Bathroom is there." He points. You go in the bathroom and change swiftly, going out and crawling over Bokuto and getting into bed. Kita shifts closer as you settle in.

"Thanks for always letting us stay." You murmur.

"You don't need to thank me anymore. It's always nice to have you near." He responds lightly as you face him. He meets your gaze before his fingertips trail over your cheek. He moves even closer, fingers moving to comb through your hair. "To be honest. I'd like to see you even more."

"I'd like that. Your presence is always so calming." Your eyelids were starting to feel heavy as he combs through your hair soothingly. He hums, watching your face quietly.

"Am I only calming?" He asks quietly.

"Mm stunning? Surprising? Reliable? Handsome..." You list off half asleep. He smiles a bit and pecks your lips.

"Sleep well." He whispers as you drift off. Bokuto yawns, crawling over you and cuddling between you. Kita let's out an amused huff, closing his eyes and soon drifting off as well.

*

"Kobalt! Welcome back!" Tendo greets cheerfully, hanging off of some crates.

"Can't ya call me Death like everyone else?" The villain sighs. "Where's Midnight?"

"Plotting of course. Did you bring the gift?" Tendo rests his chin in his hands watching cheerfully.

"Yes." Death holds up a pill bottles, giving it a light shake. "Dunno why yer dad is gifting pills though."

"These are special of course. Only my pop can make these." Tendo takes the bottle, looking at the pills within thoughtfully. "Alright Kobalt. The boss's next job." He takes out a pill and hands it to Death before handing him an envelope. "Instructions and money is inside, and you have a partner this time." Tendo points to the side as Dante enters, sending Tendo a wary glare.

"... Couldn't give me a cute partner eh?" Death sighs, running a hand through his blue hair. "Fine. I'll get the job done."

*

"Time to wake up." Kita leans over you. Bokuto yawns and cuddles you more as your eyes ease open.

"Mm." You shake your head giving a sleepy pout. He smiles a bit, leaning down more and pecking your lips, making you wake up and blush.

"Can't go to sleep now can you? Come on, Osamu is making breakfast." He chuckles heading back out.

"Samu food." You and Bokuto murmur as you sit up with him. You blink and smile at each other, Bokuto changing into his big form to hug you warmly before getting up and guiding you out to the kitchen.

"Ah, I see you made it Bokuto." Osamu comments setting the plates down. "You two sleep well."

"Of course." You and Bokuto say together.

"It's amazing how in sync you two are in the morning." Osamu chuckles lightly as everyone starts to eat.

"This is amazing! And it looks so simple." Mika gasps in awe.

"Told you, Samu is the best cook." You grin.

"Certainly better than Atsumu." Daishou comments. There's a chuckle at that. After breakfast you say goodbye to Kita and his grandma before heading to the station and riding it back to Raizu.

"___, let's go to the fair soon." Mika says as you, Bokuto, and Osamu get off.

"Alright I'm looking forward to it. Bye boss!" You wave as the doors close.

"So nice to see them again." Bokuto hums as you start for the dorms.

"Very nice." You beam.

You all reach the dorms in time to hurry and get ready for class. It was a normal lecture and note day and it felt like it lasted forever.

"Ahh... I think I fell asleep." Nishinoya yawns.

"Aren't we supposed to be getting ready for the test?" Ryuu huffs.

"They think we're good enough to pass it already." Sakusa comments.

"We are." You hum. "We're just facing the remaining schools now, shouldn't be too difficult."

"Don't underestimate people you don't know." Sakusa warns. "You should know better than that too."

"Too?" You echo, brow furrowing. The others glance at you two uneasily.

"You seem to be forgetting about a lot lately. You're being overconfident." Sakusa states.

"Forgetting about a lot lately? What exactly have I forgotten Sakusa?" You question.

"You already know that answer." He breathes and you stop walking. He slows to a stop as well. "Just because we've been through a lot since we got here doesn't mean you're invincible now."

"You're not talking about fighting now." You point out. He turns back to you, the others moving away quickly.

"I'll speak plainly then. Stop moving without thinking about the consequences before you get yourself killed." He tells you.

"Tch... It's always consequences with you." You scoff. "Would it really be that bad for you to do something without thinking of consequences?"

"Yes!" He snaps. "That's why I think first! The consequences are never worth some short lived happiness."

"Short lived..." Your eyes narrow and he pauses.

"You're so damn stubborn." He huffs stalking for the dorms and going inside. You groan and cover your eyes, bringing up your right hand as your glove bursts. You drop your hands and sigh, looking at the sky.

"I'm really digging a hole now..." You murmur. You didn't want to back down this time though, and you weren't sure why. You go inside and rub your cheek as Nishinoya peeks around the corner at you.

"You okay?" He asks when you meet his gaze. You offer a smile, setting your bag down.

"Want to make cookies with me?" You ask.

"Yes." He smiles and follows you into the kitchen.

You were just trying to stay calm and distract yourself at this point. After the batch of cookies is finished, the cooks for dinner come in to take over the kitchen and you both move to the dining room, joining Oikawa and Iwaizumi at the table to watch the television they had moved to the dining room.

"You okay?" Iwaizumi asks, glancing at you.

"Why do I keep getting asked that?" You sigh.

"Never seen you and Sakusa argue so much. Everyone is bothered by it." Oikawa answers for him.

"Sorry." You frown. "I just don't feel like backing down this time. He's not listening." You grumble.

"Ah... So it's going to get worse." Nishinoya hums.

"Before it gets better." Iwaizumi adds quickly, patting your back. You just sigh and close your eyes.

"He might end up hating me." You murmur.

"I don't think so. I think you're underestimating Sakusa there." Nishinoya hums leaning on you.

"Maybe." You open your eyes and focus on the television.

Dinner is finished and everyone gathers in the dining hall to eat. Sakusa, sitting away from you. The food didn't taste very good today, and for some reason you were feeling annoyance building.

"So... ___ did you have fun yesterday?" Oikawa asks trying to push back the tense air that was forming around you.

"Mhm. Lots of fun." You smile. "Osamu is so thoughtful."

"Osamu is a good choice for you." Sakusa comments, making some of the others tense.

"Oh really? What makes you say that?" You ask, lightly stabbing at a piece of meat on your plate.

"He's kind, a good cook, thoughtful... And he can hug you without worry." He points out lightly.

"Um... Thanks." Osamu manages, glancing between you two. Nishinoya and Ryuu were starting to sink down in their seats like something was about to blow.

"And you can't?" You breathe.

"You know I can't. So knock it off." Sakusa says bluntly.

"I haven't even done anything yet! Don't ya think you're being a bit too cautious?" You snap, glove bursting along with the utensil you had been using.

"Not at all with how reckless you are. And don't you think you're being a bit too sensitive about this?" He retorts.

"Too sensitive? You're the one that keeps bringing it up? Are you trying to upset me?" Your finger taps on the table in agitation.

"I'm not. Just making things clear." He scoffs getting up and going out. An awkward and tense silence fills the dining hall at that. You burst the plate of food before getting up.

"_-___..." Nishinoya manages carefully.

"I'm going to the course. Don't bother me." You tell them before going out.

"... I miss it when they were best friends." Nishinoya pouts.

"Honestly. Me too." Atsumu huffs.

You may have destroyed the course in under ten minutes, but it didn't make you feel any better. You pant, trying to calm yourself as you grip your right arm, it kept threatening to burst now.

"You really did a number on the course. I think it's time for you to calm down." A touch on your back makes you completely relax and you look back to find Takeda.

"Sensei. Sorry." You breathe straightening.

"That's okay, I'm just glad you came here instead of destroying your dorm. But what has you so upset?" He smiles lightly.

"I uh... I don't think it's something you'd want to know about." You admit awkwardly.

"Oh.. Love huh?" He chuckles.

"Or not? He's not really giving me a chance because he's afraid or something." You sigh tilting your head.

"I see. You're right. It's not something I really want to get involved with. But I'll say this, if you can work this out, your chances will become stronger." He breathes.

"Right." You nod and smile a bit. "Working stuff out is a pain though... But it'll be worth it. I don't like fighting with him."

"Good. As long as-" There's a trimmer that shakes the area and you both pause, sharing a glance before running out. Smoke reaches out of the dorm and you pale. "Another attack! I'm sounding the alarm!" Takeda says, breaking away as you run for the dorm. It looked like fights were breaking out all over. A familiar black floating water leaves Sakusa's window, dropping him onto the ground where a familiar chubby guy moves to pick him up. Your pupils shrink and you launch yourself at Dante, hand reaching for his face.

Dante senses you and instinctively jumps back. "What do you think you're doing with Sakusa?" You growl, particles dancing around your arm.

"Shit... Death!" He shouts uneasily. You glance up at the window as a glob of black water reaches for you. Your arm moves, bursting it easily.

"Ohh... Das not good." Death peeks off the roof in surprise. "Dat one looks mighty pissed Dante. Use yer quirk already. The boss wants that one." He calls, pointing to Sakusa.

"Right." Dante manages, pointing at you, something pierces your shoulder and you since, glancing down at the bullet sized hole.

"My turn." You breathe, raising your arm. His eyes widen and he leaps out of the way, a tree behind him getting burst.

"Friggin useless." Death sighs, black water creeping toward you from behind but a pressure makes the water stop.

"Not this time." Daichi says, stepping out of the building and looking up at him with a frown.

"Should've brought some stronger guys." Oikawa hums behind him, daggers pointed at his back.

"Ya kids are as tough as Midnight said..." Death chuckles. "Alright. Time to go." He dives off the building at Dante, turning into a large glob of the rancid black water and sweeping away into a nearby manhole.

"Damn! Kenma, can you see them?" Kuroo calls running to the hole.

"No. I can't see that Death guy even when he's not water." Kenma responds.

"I threw a tracker at him but that water destroyed it." Akaashi frowns.

"Is Sakusa okay?" Nishinoya asks you.

"He's breathing." You answer, looking Sakusa over. "They wanted him for something so I think he'll be alright." You add. Sakusa stirs and you blink down at him, carefully touching his cheek as his dark eyes ease open. "Hey... How do you feel?" You whisper.

"I... Who are you....?"
