'I'm going to die. Someone please save me.' You think as the arms around you tighten, handsome face nuzzling your cheek. You didn't dare move, blushing heavily, listening to his breathing. Phone, you could message for help. No, that was on your nightstand. You'll just have to free yourself then. You tilt your head away but that makes him move even closer, nuzzling your neck instead. You shiver slightly, touching his arms to move them off but they tighten around you. 

        '... There's no escape… I'm going to die here…' You think frowning briefly. 'Well, if this is how I'm going then might as well…' You shift and turn to him, cuddling him warmly, closing your eyes in bliss. He wakes up now, blinking sleepily before his eyes start to widen slowly, pink capturing his face. He closes his eyes to calm his blush before pulling away slightly, making your eyes open.

        "... Why are you in my bed..?" He asks quietly.

        "Because you pulled me into it and wouldn't let go." You blink at him before pulling him closer, making him stiffen slightly. "Then when I woke up just now, you still didn't let me go, and I really did try to escape." 

        "... I apologise for the inconvenience then." He says. It felt like he was trying to pull away again so you bring him even closer.

        "It's too late for apologies, now you gotta cuddle me." You inform. He pauses before holding you tightly against his chest, meeting your gaze calmly.

        "As you wish." He murmurs. You stare into each other's eyes for a few moments before you turn red and turn away to cover your face. He sighs silently at that, putting a hand over his face briefly. "Okay. Let's get the day started… You're getting Kuroo's memories back today right?" 

        "Right." You nod sitting up. He peers up at you before sitting up.

        "Then I'd like to name my price now. If that's okay?" He murmurs. You blink at him and nod, becoming curious.

        "Of course." You smile a bit.

        "Then if today goes as planned. I want you to go somewhere with me tomorrow. But no one else gets to know about it." He frowns now. "I mean it. I don't want them interfering." He tells you seriously, leaning forward.

         "O-okay. I understand." You manage, blushing a bit from the proximity of his face.

         "Do you?" He leans even closer, eyes narrowing. You blush more, nodding quickly in response. He blinks at your face before smirking slightly. "What's wrong?" He inquires.

         "N-Nothing. Why would anything be wrong?" You respond looking to the side. He hums leaning closer so his nose brushes your cheek.

          "In that case. Good morning ___." He whispers before pecking your cheek and getting out of bed. You touch your cheek as he walks into his bathroom and closes the door. 

          "Nsfjdjd…" You mutter before going to your room, pausing as you look to the bed finding the guy's all cuddled up. You gush quietly, swiftly going to grab your phone from the nightstand and getting a few pictures before Osamu stirs and wakes up with a yawn, fox ears flickering a bit. He blinks sleepily at you before peering around and pausing, swiftly hopping off the bed and changing back. 

         "Aww… Samu…" You snicker quietly making him blush lightly. 

         "Shush." He huffs pecking your cheek. "Good morning." He adds pulling you in for a hug.

         "Good morning. You guys look like you slept great." You comment. He pauses before starting to tickle in retort. "Bahaha! Nu!" You laugh pulling away.

         "You done teasing now?" He chuckles quietly.

         "Y-Yeah! I wasn't teasing though it was an observation!" You snicker.

         "Sounded like you were teasing. Lil troublemaker." He rumbles pecking your cheek. 

         "Sorry sorry." You breathe as his forehead pressed against yours. His eyes lock with yours and he cups your cheek.

         "You sleep well?" He asks.

         "Mhm. I got Akaashi cuddles." You whisper.

         "That's rare." He raises an eyebrow.

         "Right? Guess he's cuddly when he's tired." You hum. 

         "Oi. Get off." Atsumu pushes his brother away before hugging you warmly. "What's up with that? Hogging ___ first thing in the morning…" He grumbles.

         "I was just enjoying some time with ___ since it's Kuroo's day." Osamu sticks out his tongue. "I'll make breakfast." He touches your back as he heads out.

          "Can I come?" Atsumu asks you.

          "No. We discovered last night that you can't afford to miss class." You remind him.

          "You missed more classes than me, how do you know more?" He scoffs.

          "Kiyoomi is a great note taker." You smirk. 

          "Tch. Damn cactus." He grumbles. "I'm going to help Samu. Be down soon." He tells you before heading out. He soon comes back in and gives you a kiss before going back out. You chuckle a bit before crawling in between Bokuto and Kuroo, settling in. Bokuto hums, cuddling you instantly, kissing your cheek in his sleep  before nuzzling your neck. 

            Kuroo shifts closer, hugging your arm. You blink at him, fingers running through his hair softly. "Time to wake up guys." You tell them lightly. Kuroo stirs at that, eyes easing open. "Good morning." You smile. He blinks before pausing and releasing you with a small blush.

           "Sorry." He manages.

           "That's okay." You chuckle while Bokuto nuzzles your cheek. 

           "Mornin…" Bokuto murmurs, kissing your cheek. 

          "Good morning. You two sleep well?" You ask. 

          "Yeah." Bokuto nuzzles your shoulder. "Though you weren't here…" He grumbles.

          "I slept good… But where did those cute foxes go?" Kuroo sits up looking about. You and Bokuto look at him before exchanging a glance.

           "They got hungry so they went to get food." You inform.

           "Yess. Samu food!" Bokuto gasps, getting out of bed then and heading out quickly. You chuckle and get out of bed, passing Kuroo the cat plushie before going to his side as he gets out of bed with a stagger. 

          "After breakfast we'll change and head out." You tell him. He hesitates at that and you pause, looking back at him.

          "... Thank you." He tells you.

          "Huh? What for? This is what friends do." You blink in confusion. He shifts closer hugging the cat plushie, taking your hand.

          "I know… Thank you for being my friend." He murmurs looking down with a blush.

          "You know. I didn't think you could get cuter. But then you did that and now I fear your power." You chuckle. He looks at you confused now. "Let's just go eat." You shake your head, leading him downstairs.

           "Good morning." Kenma greets you both when you reach the dining room.

           "Good morning." You both return the greeting before sitting down.

          "Are you excited, Kuroo?" Oikawa asks.

          "... Not really…" He murmurs looking down. "I think I'm nervous…" 

          "Eh? Why? Don't you want to remember?" Oikawa tilts his head.

          "Of course… But what if these places don't do anything? What will I do then?" Kuroo asks.

          "We'll figure something out Kuroo. Don't worry about the possibilities. Just focus on what you can do now.. Which is to eat." You smile rubbing his back. He blinks at you before nodding slightly.

          "Okay." He breathes.

          "That's my babe." Bokuto grins cheerfully.

          "___ isn't yours. Selfish owl." Atsumu growls.

          "Jealous." Bokuto chuckles.

          After breakfast you go upstairs and change before leaving your room to head back down, pausing when you find Kiyoomi waiting in the hall. 

          "You have your new K.K?" He inquires. You nod and hold it up. "What about your phone and sos bracelet?" You hold them up as well.

          "I really worried you last time huh?" You guess.

          "Of course… I feel like you were holding back the truth too. So I'm still worried." He says, glancing over to make sure no one was coming upstairs. You shift at that, looking down at your right hand.

          "You're right. I was holding back. But I didn't want to upset anyone. And I'm feeling a lot better now." You admit quietly, rubbing your right hand. "My mind is clear again."

          "Why didn't you say anything?" He asks softly. You frown and look to the side. He steps closer to you, tipping your chin to meet his sad gaze. "I know how those thoughts work. You can't listen to them ___, they lie. You are loved. Next time please talk to me." He cups your cheek, forehead pressing to yours. "Please…" He whispers in a tone that makes you tear up.

         "Okay… I'm sorry Kiyoomi…" You sniff. 

         "I'm so glad you're still here." He takes off his mask before hugging you close and kissing you. "Don't forget that."

         "Okay…" You nod.

         "___! We're ready!" Bokuto calls up and you both separate at that.

         "I'll be back later, see you." You move toward the stairs.

         "___.” Kiyoomi says after you, making you stop and look back. "I…" He trails off unable to finish. You blink at him, feeling like you had heard his thoughts.

         "Yeah. You too." You smile before heading downstairs. Kiyoomi sighs, turning red and bumping his forehead on the wall.

         "... Ow…"

         You reach the lobby, meeting the other three before Kenma leads the way out. Kuroo instinctively takes your hand, peering about uneasily.

         "You haven't been outside yet have you?" You guess. 

         "Will we be attacked?" He asks carefully.

         "Ah… Well. If we are, Bokuto and I will definitely protect you." You assure with a smile. "Actually, seeing a hero like Bokuto fight is really awesome. You'll be like 'whoa'! Or 'so cool'!" 

         "Really?" He blinks at you while Bokuto chuckles lightly.

         "Actually, ___ is way cooler in a fight." Bokuto chuckles. "The quirk is scary but… When ___ uses it, it's really amazing to watch." He smiles at the ground thoughtfully.

         "Though destroying a mountain was terrifying." Kenma states. "But thanks to that some of us are a bit richer."

         "... What?" You and Bokuto blink at him at that.

         "Me and the twins grabbed some gems that survived." He shrugs. 

         "I had no idea." You murmur, "And I share a room with them."

         "Yeah. You're pretty oblivious to a lot." Kenma comments.

         "... Kenma you're saying some mean things to my love." Bokuto frowns a bit.

         "He's right though. I am oblivious. Haven't been paying enough attention to everyone." You frown as well.

          "Well, it's not surprising when your task list is always full." Kenma tugs on his sleeves in thought. "I'm sure if you had less worries you'd notice a lot more." 

          "Yeah you got a point there…" You look at the sky. "Wonder why I can't get a break… Maybe I am just bad luck…" 

          "... I'm holding your hand right now and I feel pretty lucky…." Kuroo murmurs and you look at him in surprise.

          "Ah… That's so smooth and sweet at the same time." You blush, putting your free arm over your face. 

          "I was just being honest." Kuroo says quietly. 

          "Aww you're so cute babe." Bokuto chuckles.

          "Sh-Shush." 

          As with Iwaizumi and Oikawa, Kenma takes you to places that he thinks would help jog Kuroo's memories. You start to notice a growing concern on his face as Kuroo tries to focus on each place, only coming up with nothing.

         "There's a few more places. But I'm going to the last now. If it doesn't work then…" Kenma's hands start to shake as he looks at his phone. 

         "Don't worry about the possibilities." Kuroo echoes your words and Kenma looks back at him. "Focus on what you can do now." Kuroo gives him a small nod. Kenma's bottom lip trembles before he nods and looks ahead. 

         "Right." He manages. You let go of Kuroo's hand and go over, putting around Kenma's neck, making him turn and hug you shakily. Bokuto offers Kuroo his hand for the time being, Kuroo moves the cat plushie to his other arm to take it.

         "Memories come back. Kuroo's coming back." You whisper, hugging him tightly. "All we can do is wait and do what we can." 

         "Right… Status effects don't last…" Kenma whispers. 

         "Come on. Let's keep going." You breathe. 

         "Okay. It's this way." He takes the lead and Bokuto passes you Kuroo's hand as you all keep walking together. 

         Soon you come to a suburban area, waking down an unkempt street. "Not a lot of people here…" Bokuto comments.

         "It's always been like this. Apparently it used to be villain territory. When we were kids, Kuroo brought me here to play heroes. And a villain came across us. He didn't like what we were playing and Kuroo got hurt… Then that hero appeared and saved us… I think he's the one that made up Kuroo's mind then." Kenma stops looking at a certain spot.

         "... That hero in the one picture?" You ask carefully.

         "Yes. You saw that picture? It's one of Kuroo's favorites." Kenma smiles slightly. You look to Kuroo as his eyes narrow at the scenery, going from focused to desperate, squeezing the cat plushie slightly.

         "Don't force it, Kuroo. Your mind needs to be open." You touch his shoulder. The ground shakes slightly, and you pause looking over as a giant shadow comes over the group.

          "Get off my territory." The King Kong looking villain rumbles. 

          "Ah, could you give us some more time please?" You ask as Kuroo shrinks down in alarm.

          "Get lost or die." He responds, raising a fist. You and Bokuto exchange a glance at that.

          "If it's a fight you want…" Bokuto bursts for his face, talons coming out and slashing at the villain. He staggers back making the earth shudder. You turn to Kuroo with a smile.

          "Don't worry. I'll protect you no matter what. Just stay right here and I'll get you home soon." You breathe, touching his cheek. Kuroo's eyes widen as you turn and rush the villain, something flashing in his brown gaze.

          "... You know… ___ is a lot like that hero." He murmurs, making Kenma pause and look over in shock. "Just said the same thing too. Of course he was a lot more intimidating than ___… Still, that's the kind of strength that makes you want to stop and watch…" Kuroo straightens up, looking down at the cat plushie with a smile before passing it to Kenma. "But that's not what a hero does." He chuckles, taking off his shoes and moving forward as the ape-man raises his massive fist over you, ignoring Bokuto's attacks. 

           "___!" Bokuto calls as you get ready to spring away, but a rock fist shoots out of the ground behind you, punching the ape-man in the face and making him fall back into a heap. You and Bokuto blink in shock at that, slowly looking back as the fist recedes back into the ground.

          "Sorry about that. Kinda felt like stealing your thunder there." Kuroo smirks. You pause before running to him, you and Bokuto colliding into him with grins. 

           "Kuroo/Broooooo!" You and Bokuto gasp hugging him. 

           "I'm back." He chuckles, patting your back. He looks over at Kenma as he joins the hug. "This is nice and all… But we should probably leave that guy's territory before he gets back." 

           "Right…" 

           So you leave the area and decide to stop at a sushi place on the way back. "Oh right… Thanks for not turning me into a cat." Kuroo hums to you as you grab a plate going by. You freeze at that and Bokuto snaps his fingers.

           "Talk about a missed opportunity." Bokuto sighs. 

           "Right? Maybe we can knock him out and do it anyway." You murmur.

           "... I can hear you." Kuroo deadpans while Kenma snickers.

           "I'm sure Sakusa's toxins will come in handy." The blond comments.

           "Oooh good idea." You point at Kenma.

           "I can hear you plotting against me." Kuroo huffs. 

           "Nah bro you're hearing things." Bokuto chuckles.

           "I'm sure I'm not." Kuroo frowns.

           "Ah man… I really wish I had thought of that… I mean amnesia Kuroo was already super cute, but if I had turned him into a cat…" You close your eyes to imagine it. "... Nevermind, that turned erratic somehow." You mutter with a blush. Kuroo sighs heavily, covering his red face.

          "I just got back…" He whispers.

          "Babe your imagination took a weird turn." Bokuto comments.

          "You try it then." You respond. He closes his eyes and soon turns red, putting a hand over his face.

          "Why did I do that…" He breathes.

          "See? It's actually a scary combination and I'm glad we forgot to do it." You comment. 

          "Can we change the subject now?" Kuroo grumbles.

          "Alright, how about this… Samu sushi is better." You whisper. He pauses blinking at you.

          "I was thinking the same thing." Kuroo responds lightly leaning forward.

          "Why didn't we just wait until we got back to the dorm?" Bokuto murmurs, leaning over too.

          "You're all being rude." Kenma informs.

          "Sorry…"

          After dinner you all start to walk back. Bokuto peeking between you and Kuroo. "Oh! Kenma there's something I want to show you!" He gasps suddenly, scooping up the blond. "We'll see you guys at the dorm!" He adds before bursting off.

          "... Kenma's already not enjoying that." You comment.

          "Nope." Kuroo agrees, before you both look at each other. "Ah… Guess it's just us." He blushes. 

          "That's awfully thoughtful of Bokuto." You chuckle, moving on. "Are you scared Kuroo?" You offer your hand. He pauses and takes it, blushing lightly.

           "Of course not. You'll protect me no matter what, right?" He teases making you pause with a blush. "Spoken like a true hero… Actually that's what helped me remember… He said the same thing back then…" 

           "Eh? Talk about luck." You huff.

           "I told you so." He smiles peering at your face. You meet his gaze and chuckle lightly.

           "... It was a yes by the way." You tell him. He blinks at you in confusion. "For that question you had back in the house of mirrors." You murmur, making him stop, eyes wide, blushing heavily. "Oh… You changed your mind huh-" His lips crash into yours before you can finish, surprising you before you kiss him back.

           "You… Provoking me all the damn time." He growls with a blush. "I'll make you pay for that one way or another." He warns, tipping your chin. 

           "Oh no…" You frown and he pauses.

           "W-What?"

           "I just pictured cat ears on you just now… it's actually cute when you're like this…."

           ".... Why am I so attracted to a demon like you!?"
