"We need to get down now. Where there's Death, there's probably Midnight." You breathe, looking at the door.

           "___ even if we get the door open neither of us can fly." He points out.

           "But-"

           "You don't trust them to handle this?" He raises an eyebrow and you stop. "It was said this morning that Midnight won't kill any of them right?" He reminds you. You glance between the fight below before turning to him with a nod.

             "Right. And the memories come back. Everything will be fine…" You manage optimistically. But you were gripping your knees uneasily and the ferris wheel stops, leaving you two at the top. Daishou shifts before his tail comes out, sliding through the gap in the window to the outside handle. 

            "But who said that's a hero thing to do?" He breathes when you blink at him before the door opens. You both stand up, looking out.

            "Don't worry. I know we won't go splat." You smile. He blinks at you before taking your hand.

            "I believe you then." He smiles in return before you both back up before leaping out with a yell. You spot Bokuto as he spots you both, suddenly bursting at you and catching you both.

            "Hey! Hey! Hey! There's my baby!" He grins, moving to give you a kiss on the cheek but Daishou swiftly moves his hand in the way.

            "Focus. What's going on?" Daishou inquires.

           "Kuroo and Oikawa spotted Death and got attacked. The others are clearing the area and Akaashi is in position to tranquilize him but the bastard disappeared in the water." Bokuto informs. 

          "And Midnight?" You ask warily. 

          "No one has spotted him yet." He breathes as he sets you both down on the ground. 

          "Alright, let's go ___.” Daishou breathes. 

          "Right." You nod before rushing toward the fight. Daggers and chains lash out of the black water that sat in a large bubble on the ground. Daishou's tail knocks a dagger away from you and you pause, exchanging a glance with him before taking off your right glove and rushing the water.

          'I can do this! Protect them!' You think, right hand plunging forward. There's a ripple in the water and a chill runs down your spine, making you leap back as the water opens up and Midnight launches at you. "Shit." You breathe twisting out of the way and throwing a kick into his side. He grabs your leg and spins about, throwing you into Daishou as he made a move to attack.

          "YoU ShOUld'VE StaYEd iN ThE FeRrIS WheEL ___.” He states before adjusting his vocals.

           "That's not what a hero does though, Midnight." You breathe getting up and giving him a smile. He pauses before chuckling.

           "Right. A hero… A villain couldn't understand why you feel the need to protect a bunch of strangers who wouldn't give you the time of day otherwise." He shakes his head. "Calling you a monster and when you reach out for help you're smacked away as if you have the plague." You pause, remembering a few instances where you experienced that. "You already know how they are. You can't hide from your own kind ___." 

            For a moment Tendo crosses your mind and you feel a knot in your stomach. "No. But they want to hide from me." You grit your teeth, right arm starting to buzz. "And that's fine because I will still be here!" You growl, lunging at him. You swing your right hand at him but he catches it, a burst of purple leaving his suit, revealing the titanium under the paint. You freeze, heart dropping.

           "Who were you thinking about just now?" He asks lightly.

           "None… None of your business." You hiss out, shaking slightly. His grip on your hand tightens briefly.

           "Sounds like a real fool." He comments before releasing your hand and disappearing into the water. You glare at the water, reaching for it.

            "What do you know?" You breathe, bursting a portion of the water. It ripples before swiftly moving for the lake. You would've moved to go after it, but Kuroo and Oikawa laying there stops you. "Kuroo! Oikawa!" You call out, running over to Oikawa and checking him over, relaxing when you find him just unconscious.

          "Kuroo's okay too." Daishou says. You nod, biting your lip and looking to where the water had disappeared in the nearby lake.

          "I'm so damn weak…" You whisper. He looks at your back with a frown at that.

          "___! Daishou!" Mika calls running over. "Is everyone okay?"

          "Yeah, everyone's fine." You answer, pulling on your glove and picking up Oikawa. "Sorry. I was having a lot of fun. But we should get everyone back to the dorms. And get these two cleaned up." You send her a smile. She pauses before nodding.

          "Alright, let's get going." She says, looking at Daishou as he steps back so Bokuto can pick up Kuroo.

          "Hang in there bro. We'll get your memories back." Bokuto murmurs.

          With that the fair closes for the day and after speaking with the police you all return to the dorm. The guys in charge of cleaning up Kuroo since Oikawa woke up first and was currently hiding under a table in the dining room. Iwaizumi and Mika trying to coax him out. 

            You step into the lobby after a quick shower to remove the black water from carrying Oikawa. "I left those prizes on your bed." Daishou says lightly, making you look at him as he leans against the wall, hands in his pockets. 

            "Thanks." You breathe. 

            "You okay? It looked like Midnight struck a nerve back there." He murmurs. You shift and turn to him, offering a bitter smile. 

            "He used a line that Tendo always used. I guess I just lashed out at him for reminding me that my best friend pretty much just broke up with me." You look down, tears coming back. "I'm pathetic. It's only been a day but it feels like he's been gone for much longer… I miss him." He steps forward, bringing your forehead to his chest and bringing an arm around you. 

            "Nothing left to do but what you can, right?" He breathes. You pause and nod into his chest, hugging him back. "Break ups really suck, but sometimes it's for the best, for both of you." He peers over at Mika as she shifts in the doorway. 

            "That's right. Doesn't mean the love is gone." Mika says softly, coming over and hugging you both, rubbing your back. You blink and peer at her, pausing as she kisses a tear away. "We're still here with you." 

            "... Thank you." You smile a bit relaxing.

            "But the villains seriously suck. Interrupting you two like that! I outta…" She puffs her cheeks, throwing some punches at the air in annoyance. You and Daishou blink at her before chuckling, Daishou resting his head on yours.

            "Not much we can do about that now." He hums. 

            "Yeah. Sorry Mika." You smirk. 

            "It's fine. The longer it takes the more romantic it's going to be when it does happen." She hums, straightening her clothes out before smiling as you and Daishou blush at that and break away. 

              "I uh… Should check on my senpais." You hum.

              "You do that… Make sure that idiot rooster remembers how much better I am than him." Daishou smirks.

             "Oh you're the worst." You chuckle, pushing him lightly. "Don't be mean to my cute senpai." He pauses before tipping your chin up and making you tense slightly.

             "Don't tell your boss what to do." He teases. 

             "Wow. That really bothered you huh?" Mika snickers at him, making him pause and suddenly start for the door.

             "I don't know what you're talking about. Let's head back Mika." He says casually.

            "Oh sure you don't. But I can't believe you're about to leave without giving ___ a hug goodbye." She teases before hugging you warmly. 

             "Be careful on your way home okay? Though I'm not worried. You got the boss with you." You murmur, hugging her back. She smiles and gives you a kiss in response. You blush heavily and hide your face in her shoulder, making her giggle.

             "I will ___! See you soon." She chimes, heading out as Daishou comes back over to you.

             "She's absolute trouble." You breathe touching her chest.

             "Well if Mika's trouble then I'm a villain." He jokes lightly as he peers at you. 

             "What? No… You're my adorable boss." You chuckle lightly as he touches your hand.

             "That's not what you really think of me, right?" He guesses with a knowing smile. 

             "Ah well…. Um…" You blush looking away.

             "Let me tell you a little secret about your boss." He leans next to your ear, "Snakes can distinguish a lot of things by taste and touch. I can feel the rhythm of your heart by touching you. And I know if you're not being completely honest." He whispers as blush comes to your face. He peeks at your face with a soft, amused smile. "So ___, what was that again?" Your lips twitch as he grasps your hand a bit tighter. You give him a small glare.

           "Why do I gotta have such a hot boss…?" You grumble, meeting his gaze. He blinks in surprise before laughing lightly.

           "Your honesty really is something to behold." He says with a blush. He puts a finger to your lips. "Remember, changing the subject can help you out from saying embarrassing things."

            "I felt a snake coiled around me and didn't think that was a possibility…" You puff your cheeks. He chuckles, looking into your eyes.

             "Until next time ___.” He hums before going out. You sigh heavily, gripping your chest.

            "Yeah.. He's a bit of a villain." You mutter before shaking it off and going into the dining room where Iwaizumi seemed to be about ready to drag Oikawa out from under a table. You blink and lean over him, arms coming over his shoulders and making him tense. "Iwa-chan, he's not going to come if you're making such a scary face." You poke his nose. 

            "He won't even look at me." He scoffs.

           "Maybe he's shy. So far everyone has been their opposite." You point out, crouching beside him.

           "What the hell are we going to do about that?" He questions. You hum and peer at Oikawa as he peeks at you from between his fingers. 

           "... You don't worry about it. I'll take care of him. Once he gets more comfortable we'll work on the memories." You pat Iwaizumi's back softly.

           "Alright… You okay?" He asks lightly.

          "Yeah… I'm going to call Tendo. So…" You rub your cheek.

          "Oh. Okay then." He nods quickly, going out. You smile softly at Oikawa as he peers at the doorway then you.

          "It'll be okay. You can stay there until you're ready." You tell him, before leaning on the wall and calling Tendo.

          'I'm not here right now! But I'll get back to when I can! ___, take it away!'

          'Thank you for calling Tendo! Leave your name and message after the beep!'

          That damn answering machine message makes you chuckle, tears coming back up. "Hey… I uh… I just wanted to call and hear your voice for a bit. Guess the answering machine will do… I had fun at the fair, then Midnight showed up and took Kuroo's and Oikawa's memories away… So here I am, waiting for Oikawa to come out from under the table. And all I can think about is how much I miss you… I just saw you yesterday but… it wasn't enough." You curl up against the wall, fighting back tears. "You don't have to call me back. But I'm still here. And I… I still love you." You sniff before hanging up. 

          Oikawa moves out from under the table to wipe your tears away, frowning softly. "...I-Its okay. It'll be okay. You can stay until you're ready." He mimics what you had said just a moment ago. You blink at him before touching his hand and making him tense as you cuddle his palm. 

           "You're so warm Oikawa… Like the sun." You breathe. He blinks and tilts his head before moving closer, cupping your face.

           "Warm." He murmurs rubbing your cheeks.

           "Yeah. Thanks. Sorry for crying in front of you. You must feel so lost." You smile apologetically. He nods slightly looking around the room.

            "I am." He breathes before looking at you and tilting his head, hands leaving your face. "Who are you?"

            "I'm ___. And you're Tōru Oikawa." You poke his nose. He blinks and blushes lightly, hiding his face. "And you're my friend." You smile. 

           "Friend…" His brown eyes soften a bit. 

          "Mhm… You have a room here. Would you like to see? I doubt hiding under the table was comfortable." You offer your hand to him. He blinks and takes your hand hesitantly, relaxing a bit. You smile and stand up, bringing him to his feet. "You can get as close to me as you want if you get scared. I'll protect you no matter what." You tell him, moving some hair from over his eyes. "You still need a bath though. You don't smell very good."

             "I don't…." He agrees with a frown, shaking his head. You smile a bit before guiding him upstairs to his room. 

            "I'll get you some clothes okay. But I'm not going to help you wash up." You tell him as you go in. "I don't think my heart could handle that to be completely honest." You breathe, touching your chest. He tilts his head, touching your hand in concern. "I'm fine." You assure quickly, before going to his dresser and pausing. "Please forgive me Oikawa…" You breathe before opening it. You pick out some clothes that you knew would look good on him and let him go into his bathroom with them. "I'm going to check on Kuroo now so…  Don't drown." You tell him before closing the door. You go to Kuroo's room, peering in to find him fast asleep on the bed. 

            "He's not very energetic." Bokuto says, looking in too. 

            "Is he sick?" You frown, going in and checking his temperature. Kuroo stirs before opening his eyes with a glare. You freeze and carefully withdraw your hands. "S-Sorry Kuroo." You manage uneasily as he blinks at you, not at all looking friendly. He just rolls over in response, bringing up the blankets over himself more. "Ah… Sleep well bud…" You say before quickly going out and closing the door. "He hates me." You whisper to Bokuto, tearing up.

            "No no… I'm sure he's just cranky babe." He assures quickly, pulling you into a warm hug. "He hated the bath, doesn't know what's going on and he's just tired. Like a grouchy cat." He pulls back and cups your cheek. "I happen to know that Kuroo adores you." He chuckles lightly.

            "Okay… It's just kinda unnerving to have Kuroo glare at me." You murmur. 

            "It's definitely different. I miss my bro. But we have you, and I know you'll find his memories." He beams eskimo kissing you before pausing and peering about briefly.

             "What's wrong?" You ask.

            "Making sure there's no one to get in the way." He responds before kissing you deeply and making you hum, hugging his neck as he presses into you. "I love you." He whispers against your lips. You smile and kiss him back. 

            "Ah… You make me feel sooo much better.. I might fall for you." You say, burying your face in his chest. He pauses, blushing heavily before grinning widely, hugging you tightly.

            "Would another kiss help?" He asks happily. You pause and chuckle lightly giving him another kiss.

            "Thank you Bokuto…. Oh! I meant to ask, since I Just remembered it today… But two years ago, did you happen to catch someone that fell from the top of a roller coaster?" You ask. 

             "Yeah! How do you know about that?" He tilts his head.

           "That was me." You point to yourself. He pauses, gaping at you before starting to laugh.

           "___, you're really amazing." He chuckles and you pause blinking at him in confusion. "You're the reason I wanted to become a hero." He grins blushing. 

            "... Whaaaaat?" You gasp in shock. 

            "Yeah. I felt so good catching you, the way you hugged my neck and thanked me with tears in your eyes…. I wanted to keep doing that for people." He looks down smiling softly. "It's crazy how things turn out. Like it was all supposed to happen, but anything could've happened to change it." He takes your hand bringing it up to kiss your knuckles. "Thank you for existing." His soft words make you pause and tear up.

          "I… You're so sweet… And I'm such a crybaby right now." You blink back the tears. "I love you." You whisper. He freezes eyes widening before hugging you tightly. 

           "Yes! You finally said it back! I'm in the lead!" He gushes, kissing your face cheerfully. "I'm definitely going to marry you someday." He breathes looking into your eyes. "So be ready."

            "Ah… O-okay…" You manage, in too much shock to register half of it. 

            "Oh. I'm hungry! Samu!" He calls heading down the hall after giving you one last kiss. You watch him go before sighing quietly, checking in on Kuroo again before heading back to Oikawa's room, peering in as he comes out of the bathroom with no shirt, frowning at the one he had in his hand. You both freeze when he spots you.

            "I-I-I am… S-S… My bad." You gasp swiftly closing the doors. "Oh wow…" You whisper to yourself, covering your face. 'Why do they allow gods here? Talk about over kill…' You think blushing heavily. You smack your cheeks, taking in a breath. 'Focus. You saw… Nothing. Take care of Oikawa, do not be weird.' You mentally prepare yourself, pacing in front of the door. 'Oh no… He's so hot… I can't do this. I should leave him with Iwaizumi… But he might hide under the table again.' You stop and sigh, bowing your head. You feel a touch on your shoulder and jump, looking over at Oikawa as he blinks at you with a head tilt.

           "Don't go…" He frowns. 

           "Go? I'm not going anywhere. Did you not like that shirt?" You tilt your head.

           "It fell on the floor and got wet." He pouts, shoulders drooping. 

           "Oh. Alright. Sorry about that…" You scratch your cheek, glad he had found another shirt to wear. 

           "___, food." Iwaizumi calls, poking his head into the hall. Oikawa stiffens and swiftly shuts the door, making you jump. Iwaizumi blinks and frowns lightly. "Nevermind. I'll bring you guys up a plate." He decides before disappearing back downstairs.

           "Thanks Iwa-chan." You call before knocking on the door. "Oikawa it's okay, no one is going to hurt you here. I'm going to protect you, remember." You say to the door softly. He opens it again, peeking at you at that. "There we go," You smile. "Can I come in? Iwa-chan is going to bring us some food and I'd like to eat with you."

           "Yes… Come in." He breathes letting you in. He looks around his room rather lost before frowning lightly. "What…. Do I do?" He tilts his head.

           "You mean like right now? Or in general?" You ask, making the lost look stick on his face.

           "Both?" 

           "Oh. Well right now we're going to get you more comfortable before going to try and get your memories back. As for the other question… You're working very hard to become an amazing hero." You smile thoughtfully, looking out the window. He watches you for a moment. 

            "___,” Iwaizumi says in the doorway making Oikawa jump and hide behind you. 

            "Um… It's okay Oikawa, Iwaizumi's your best friend. And he's strong and honest…" You take the plates as Iwaizumi blushes lightly. You meet his green gaze before kissing his cheek. "And surprisingly sweet sometimes." You chuckle as Iwaizumi blushes more, sending you a small frown.

            "O-Osamu says enjoy." Iwaizumi stammers before closing the door quickly. You chuckle a bit and Oikawa tilts his head, peering at the food as his stomach growls. 

           "Alright, time to eat." You beam and sit down with him, starting to eat.

           "... Are you working to be a hero too?" He inquires. 

           "Mhm…"

           "Why?" He asks. You pause, blinking at him.

           "Everytime I'm asked that I'm not sure what to say…" You admit tilting your head and thinking. "At first it was something I wanted to try out. But now… I have a lot of people here that I want to protect. So I kinda need to be a hero to be there when they need me. You know?" You smile a bit, focusing on your food.

            "... Have you ever hurt someone?" 

            "Well yeah. I need to fight villains." You nod.

            "Have you… Ever killed someone?" This question makes you pause. Telling him the truth would probably scare him like this. You glance at him, for a second Daishou crosses your mind.

             "Oikawa you have some food here." You reach over and wipe off a piece of rice from the corner of his lip. Oikawa's eyes widen as he blushes heavily. "You're kinda messy." You hum, eating the piece of rice. He pulls up his shirt collar to hide his blushing face. 

            "S-sorry." He manages shyly. 

            "It's fine. I don't mind. It's really cute." You chuckle. You had to get his mind off the other subject completely. "Look at me. I wanna see those beautiful eyes." You breathe lightly, leaning forward and making him tense. He peeks at you, face still pink. "Wow. You could hide all the stars in them." You whisper in amazement, nose brushing his before he hides in his shirt. You sit back nodding to yourself. 'I think I did good. I'm sure Daishou would be impressed.' You think to yourself and finish eating. "Finish eating so I can take your plate back." You nudge him. 

           "... Can I come?" He peeks at you before starting to eat.

          "Of course. I'm sure the others will be happy to see you." You nod. He shifts and eats a little more before looking at you expectantly. You take his plate and guide him out and downstairs to the kitchen, being greeted by the twins and Ushijima.

         "Hey Oikawa. How are you feeling?" Atsumu asks lightly, taking the plates from you. 

         "I…. Alright…" Oikawa hugs your arm uneasily.

         "That's good..? Did you like your food?" Osamu hums.

         "Not really…" Oikawa breathes and Osamu pauses while your jaw drops.

         "... Can I ask what was wrong with it?" Osamu inquires, turning to him. 

         "Ah… Samu-" Atsumu reaches for his brother.

         "What? I… Has he never liked my food? I want to know while he's honest." Osamu says as Oikawa hides behind you.

         "Sorry…" Oikawa breathes, holding onto your shirt.

         "I'm not mad Oikawa. I just want to know what I did wrong." Osamu assures lightly.

         "Awe, Samu…" You murmur.

         "I just didn't like that…" Oikawa whispers. "___ can we go back now..?" 

         "Huh? Sure." You pat Oikawa's arm. "How's Kuroo, has he eaten?" You add to Atsumu while Osamu sulks. 

         "No. He's just looking really mad in the corner of his room." Akaashi answers coming in.

         "I'll try to get him to eat. Can you take Oikawa back to his room? You're the less threatening looking one here." You request.

         "What..?" Atsumu huffs.

         "Pretty sure Osamu kinda has him on edge now, and Ushijima is a bit of a beast." You motion to them.

         "I see.. Makes sense, come with me Oikawa." Akaashi offers his hand.

         "... ___…” Oikawa frowns uneasily.

         "It's okay. I'll be right up." You assure softly. He hesitates before taking Akaashi's hand and going out. You sigh before going over and hugging Osamu from behind. "Don't pout. I loved it and Oikawa's a bit odd to begin with." You murmur before placing a kiss on his neck, making him stiffen slightly.

         "... Come here." He turns about and kisses you softly before hugging you tightly. "Sorry about that."

         "You were just surprised. I was too." You hum hugging back just as tightly. "So where's Kuroo's plate?" You add.

         "Here. Good luck." Atsumu hands it to you and you take it up to Kuroo's room, easing into the room and setting the food on the nightstand. Kuroo was in the corner of his room, half asleep, glaring at you. 

         "I brought you food. Come eat." You smile at him, coming around the bed. He doesn't respond, shifting against the wall. You frown, moving closer and crouching in front of him. He moves back slightly, glaring at you more. "Are you going to hit me Kuroo?" You ask carefully. He blinks before shaking his head quietly. "Then why do you look so mad.?"

          "I don't know you… Or me… Or anyone…" He shifts, looking at you lost. "Why can't I remember?" He whispers. "What happened?"

          "Someone attacked you. And Oikawa." You answer lightly. "They took your memories. And I don't know why… Maybe it's my fault." You frown looking down. "I'm sorry Kuroo."

          "... Do you want to hurt me?" He asks quietly.

          "No. Never." You shake your head. "I like you Kuroo. You're my friend." You frown softly.

          "Then… How is this your fault?" He asks and you pause, mind going blank. He lowers his face into his arms. "I don't think you're bad." He peeks at you, brows furrowed. "But I'm scared…"

           "I know you are Kuroo." You reach out carefully and touch his arm. "But you're not alone here. And you're surrounded by friends whether you realize or not." You tilt your head. "It's going to be okay. I won't let anyone hurt you. Promise." 

           "... I'll eat now." He murmurs, relaxing. You smile and go to grab the plate, bringing it other and offering him a bite, making him pause and look at you. 

          "Say ahhh." You smile lightly. 

          "... Ahhh." He complies letting you feed him the bite. "Mm… Did you make this?" He tilts his head.

          "Nope. Osamu did. It's good right?" You grin. He nods, shifting closer to carefully take the plate and eat. 

          "It is… Thank you." He murmurs. There's a light knock and Akaashi peers in.

          "Oikawa is persistently requesting your presence." He informs.

          "I'll be there. Even with no memory he's so demanding." You sigh. Kuroo shifts, looking at Akaashi wearily before raising a hand in greeting.

          "Oh, you got him to relax a bit…" Akaashi says, stepping inside. He moves to your side and kneels down. "Can I get you anything Kuroo? To make you feel more comfortable?" He inquires.

          "... I don't know…" Kuroo frowns looking around before looking at you. 

          "I'm not sure what will help… How about I get you something to hug until you feel better?" You hum.

          "Okay…" He nods. You smile and get up. 

          "I'll be right back." You tell them before going out and to your room to grab the black cat prize from the fair before bringing it back to Kuroo, handing it to him. He blinks at it, hugging it before relaxing more.

           "I like this…" He murmurs, closing his eyes.

           "Good…" You smile and give him a hug, making him pause and peer at you. "Rest a bit okay?" 

            "Okay… Will you come back soon?" He inquires.

            "I'll try, you can come find me if you want." You brush your fingers through his hair. "I'm sure Bokuto will be by soon, okay?" 

           "Okay… Thank you." He breathes. You smile a bit, leaning over and kissing his forehead before going out to Oikawa's room as he peers out with a pout.

            "I told you I was going to come back, have more patience." You poke his nose.

            "Sorry." He rubs his nose as you brush by. "Will you nap with me? Please?" He asks.

           "Yeah. I could really use one." You admit, taking off your hoodie and crawling into the bed, pausing and nuzzling his pillow, flopping over. "I really like your scent…" You yawn as he crawls in too. He blinks and smiles a bit at that before cuddling up to you. 

          "I like yours." He responds quietly. 

          "Good to know… Goodnight."

          "Goodnight ___…”
