          "It looks like an inhaler…" You tilt your head, looking over the device Kita had handed you.

          "Basically what it is. You don't have to shake it up. And one little canister can be used twice. It's like having a little healer with you. Just know it's not for deep injuries." He frowns lightly, the memory surfacing up. You reach over and take his hand, making him meet your gaze.

          "I'll be careful, this'll be more than enough." You assure softly, and smile as you look at it. "You're amazing, I didn't know you could make something like this."

         "It was nothing. I just wanted to help. I'll give you five canisters for now. Call me selfish but I want you to come see me if you need more." He looks to the side at the small box of canisters.

         "Sounds reasonable actually. I like coming to see you, so it won't be a problem." You shrug.

          "Good." He smiles softly. There's a cough in his doorway and you both look over at the twins who lean on the doorframe with arms folded.

          "If ___'s sleeping in here so are we." Atsumu informs.

          "Mhm." Osamu hums in agreement.

          You and Kita exchange a look at that. "Sorry Kita."

           "It's cute how possessive they are." Kita hums. "Okay, but you won't fit on my bed as you are now." He adds to the twins. They take their fox forms at that, wedging themselves between you two at that.

           "Heh, cute little foxes." You breathe patting their heads. "Guess we should-" You pause as your phone goes off and look over to find Tendo calling you. "Hey what's up?" You answer it swiftly.

           'Im… In a bit of a pickle and need a hero….' He manages, he was gasping lightly which makes your heart sink. 'I'm at the edge of Contum City in a warehouse, my right leg is broken and there's some bad guys looking for me.'

          "I'll be there soon just… Don't get hurt anymore okay?" You tell him quickly before hanging up to call Bokuto. The twins sit up looking at you in alarm.

          '___! Are you-'

          "Bokuto please. I need you to come to Kita's place and get me. Something has happened to Tendo in Contum City." You tell him, getting up quickly.

          'On my way.' He says hanging up.

          "What do I do…" You murmur pressing your fingertips together. "Inhaler thing." You stuff it in your pocket. "Wish I had my suit…" You grumble, glancing at the clothes that Kita had lent you.

          "We're coming too." Atsumu tells you.

          "Don't overload Bokuto…" You tell them going out and leaving the house to watch the sky anxiously. The twins soon follow you out as well as Kita who gives you a small wrist band with three additional canisters on it.

          "Be careful. Try to keep your head on." Kita touches your cheek.

          "I don't think I'll be able to if I see my best friend hurt." You whisper, it felt like your skin was prickly with a foreign feeling. Your right palm was starting to itch too. "Actually. It's probably not a good idea for you twins to join me." You glance at them. They pause, shifting uneasily.

          "We're going with you. If you get too out of control I'll stop you." Atsumu says.

          "Me too." Osamu nods. Kita frowns lightly, not sure what to say to comfort you.

          "Don't forget ___, you're a hero." Kita murmurs, making you pause.

          "Right." You nod. The sound of chains makes you look over just as Oikawa crashes into you. "Huh? Oikawa?" You gasp in surprise.

          "I'm here to help." He smiles, hugging you as Bokuto lands.

          "Let's go." Bokuto breathes as you meet his golden gaze. You nod and the twins take their fox forms as Bokuto takes his large owl form. You climb into the owl's back with Oikawa, the twins wedging themselves between you two before Bokuto takes off.

~*~*~

        In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have called you. In his moment of pain he wasn't thinking clearly. Now all these bastards would have to live as he lowers himself to play hide and seek in this sloppy messy warehouse that was set up like rich hoarders wet dream.

        "Where are you seer?" One calls, passing his hiding place. Tendo ignores him, crafting a makeshift brace for his broken leg. He kept his left eye shut, the glow of his future sight would give him away if he left it open.

         'What a damn mess. I wasn't even prepared for something like this to happen. Something changed the course of what I saw earlier…' He thinks frowning to himself.

          "Oh seer!" The call next to his hiding place makes him frown.

          'Shut your damn mouth.' He reaches through the boxes, taking the man's dagger from his boot as he passes by. 'Annoying.' He finishes the brace and peers around. 'Hope you guys are ready. I'm coming for your eyes.' He carefully gets up, stepping to a gap in the boxes and raising his arm, stabbing out swiftly, slicing through the man's eye as he passes by. Tendo gets down, army crawling through a tunnel in the shelves as the man shrieks, holding his eye and shooting at Tendo's previous hiding place.

          "This really hurts…" Tendo mutters under his breath as the gunfire drowns the sound of his movements. He stops suddenly, looking to the side as one of his other pursuers pass by. Tendo rolls on his back, tossing the knife up and out of the pile before continuing to crawl as the other pursuer yells out when the dagger takes off the big toe of his right foot.

           "Where is he?! Why can't you imbeciles find a handicapped bastard?!" The boss calls from somewhere at the center of the warehouse.

          'Now he's just being rude.' Tendo reaches his new hiding place, quietly tearing open a box and smiling a bit, pulling out a traditional throwing knife. He sits back, looking through the small hole at the top of his hiding place. 'And…. Now.' He throws up the knife, as their flying unit goes by, slashing open her wing and making her crash into a nearby pile, opening another tunnel for him in the process. "Thank you." He mutters as she cries out, crawling through another area.

         He pauses again as more guys rush by, one dropping his 9mm. Tendo waits a moment before reaching out and picking it up. 'Okay. Now things get annoying again.' He thinks as a shock wave rips apart the tunnel he's in, making him tumble as he's uncovered. He and the boss lock eyes for an instant. Tendo fires a single bullet at him, smiling a bit. The bullet grazes the boss's temple and the man laughs.

        "Ya missed seer." The boss raises his arm to Tendo.

        "Oh no. Whatever will I do?" Tendo smirks, making the boss pause as a metal support swings into the back of him. Tendo gets to his feet, limping for the railing and jumping off, landing on a pile of mattresses that bounce him into a new hiding spot. He tenses, gripping his leg and clenching his jaw in pain.

          'Dammit…' He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment. Just a moment. A large hand comes over his throat, ripping him out of the hiding spot.

           "Got em, boss." The man calls, hopping off the pile and starting for the stairs. Tendo's eyes open, one starting to bleed as it lights up again. He points the 9mm at his captor's wrist and fires. The man cries out, dropping him. Tendo lands, taking the man's dagger from his belt and slashing the man's eye before turning and firing at the emergency lights that lit the area, making everything go dark. He swiftly moves away from his captor, pausing briefly to aim back and shoot out one of his knees.

           He should be able to escape now at least. He moves for exit but an unforeseen masked enemy steps in his way. 'Who the hell are you…' Tendo's eyes narrow and he raises the gun at them. They raise their arms, a glowing water rippling around them, shining brightly.

           "Shit." Tendo's eyes widen and he swiftly fires above them, making part of the roof come down, nearly crushing Tendo as he moves away, a slight panic coming to his chest as he crawls down another box tunnel to escape. The glow of the water starts to ripple after him, nature starting to take over everything. He glances back, gritting his teeth before looking ahead, stopping as he comes to a wall. He looks around quickly for another escape route, finding none. He sits up against the wall as the glow grows closer. "Sorry ___…" He breathes, trying to get his feet away from the glow.

           Then it all just blew away like dust, making him pause, eyes tearing up slightly as he looked over at you, the rest of the warehouse behind you had a huge hole in it. Even in the darkness, he could see a cold rage in your eyes as you look at the masked enemy.

             "What the hell do you think you're doing to my best friend?" You demand as a fight breaks out upstairs, chains flinging the villains off the second floor, landing behind the one in the black and gold mask.

            "Best friend.." The villain echoes, tilting their head. Their arm raises at Tendo and you raise your right hand, bursting the glowing water before it can touch him.

            "You want to die?" You ask dangerously. The masked villain turns their attention on you then, sending out a column of glowing water at you but you raise your right hand, bursting it all before lunging at them, fingertips of your right hand brushing the floor and bursting it. The glow of the water gives away their location, giving you an opening to tackle them to the ground, they kick you off as you get a punch in. A large shape moves behind you and you leap to the side as the masked villain sends glowing water at you, hitting the boss instead. You roll away, getting to your feet and pausing as flowers take over the man's body, roots sucking him dry before falling into a pile of soil on the floor.

           "Glow! It's time to go!" A voice shouts before a flash bang drops at the masked villain's feet. You close your eyes, leaping at Tendo and holding your right hand out toward the enemy as you do, bursting any attacks you couldn't see. Tendo holds onto you, eyes squeezing shut. The blindness from the flashbang subsides and you open your eyes, looking back to find more piles of soil where the other villains had been.

            "... Guys?" You call up to the second floor, hugging Tendo firmly.

           "We're okay." Atsumu calls down as they rush down to you guys.

           "Good thing Bokuto stopped us from coming down." Osamu comments when they reach you, looking over at the piles.

           "I did not like that glowing water. Whole body started shuddering." Bokuto shivers.

           "I don't think that villain was with them." Oikawa frowns. "You okay Tendo."

           "Mhm…" Tendo hums, hiding his face in your shoulder.

           "Here, try this." You hand Tendo the device Kita had made for you. He nods, using it but not moving his head from your shoulder. You frown heavily, rubbing his back. You've never seen him shaken before. He grunts, stiffening as a small pop sounds from his injured leg before taking another breath from the inhaler. You take the device and change the canister for him.

          "Doesn't do shit for the pain…" He grunts, holding onto you as he stiffens in pain again.

          "Sorry. This all I can do for you-" He lifts his head and kisses you before pulling back to give you a frown.

          "Thank you for coming to save me." He breathes, shaking slightly.

          "O-Of course... I'm here, Tendo." You breathe, pulling him into a tight hug. He holds onto you, closing his eyes. The others exchange concerned glances before huddling around you two and patting Tendo's back.

          "We should get out of here. If we're caught it'll look bad." Oikawa says lightly. Everyone agrees and Bokuto takes his owl form, taking off with everyone out the hole you had made in the warehouse.

          "We should go back to the dorm. I'll contact Kita on the situation when we get there." You tell Bokuto. "That okay with you Tendo?" You peer over at him.

          "Wherever you are is fine with me." He answers quietly. You blink and move closer to him at that, rubbing his arm.

          "Okay then." You nod.

          The flight there is a bit of a blur, but once you get back to the dorm you find that Tendo's leg had finished healing during the trip.

          "___!" Nishinoya and the others call coming out to greet you.

          "You okay Tendo?" Nishinoya asks, tilting his head.

          "Better than I was." Tendo responds, removing the brace he had made for his leg.

          "I'm not sure what happened back there but I'm calling it a win." Atsumu breathes.

          "I wouldn't." Tendo breathes making everyone look at him as he straightens up. "The ones that chased me in there were all killed by some chaotic villain that just seemed like they were trying out a new toy instead of a quirk." He tilts his head with a frown. "This has Claw written on it."

           "But… Their facilities were destroyed." Ryuu says frowning.

           "Only the ones that were discovered. No one knows the origin of Claw. Or if those were the only facilities. But they are in the business of giving out strong quirks to the highest bidder." Tendo yawns, staggering suddenly.

           "That's enough, let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed." You move under his arm hastily.

           "Okay." He nods tiredly as you help him inside. The rest stay downstairs to discuss the new events as you take Tendo upstairs and to your bathroom. You get some clothes from Atsumu's dresser before going back in to find Tendo trying to doze off where he stood.

           "Come on Tendo, stay awake buddy." You breathe, stripping him down to his boxers. He blinks at you sleepily and chuckles lightly.

           "Damn… I'm too tired to properly enjoy this." He murmurs.

           "Good. Less distractions for me." You joke, turning on the water and helping him into the shower so you can wash him up. "That place stunk… and you're covered in blood, especially your leg." You mutter wiping him down.

          "Is not all mine…" He breathes, starting to nod off again. You blink and pat his cheek trying to get him to stay awake longer. He blinks at you with half lidded eyes. "I was scared… I never saw them coming… You're the only one who should surprise me… It's not right… Not right…" He shakes his head starting to drift again. You frown, reaching to wake him up again before deciding to let him sleep. You finish cleaning him off before turning off the water.

          Now to get him dressed. You look down at his boxers for a few moments, reaching for the waistband before blushing heavily and stopping yourself. "I can't do it…" You murmur before going out to call someone for help, nearly running into Iwaizumi as he comes into your room.

          "Hey. You said you were going to clean him off? Need help changing his clothes?" He guesses. You press your lips together, nodding with a blush. He blinks and chuckles lightly. "Okay, I'll handle it. You won't have to see anything, okay?" He says lightly. You nod and hug him at that, making him pause. "It's okay. I got you covered." He pats your back and looks back as the twins come in. "And the twins are gonna help." He adds.

           "Hm? Yeah, what do you need?" Osamu asks. You release Iwaizumi and he quickly explains before they go into the bathroom to dress Tendo. They soon carry him out, placing him on the bed so you can wrap him up like a burrito.

          "He'll be okay, that fast healing just took a lot out of him." Iwaizumi pats your head after you rest your chin on Tendo's chest with a pout.

          "I know…" You murmur looking down. "I was so worried. He was so close to being turned into dirt… That did not look like a painless death…" The twins take their fox forms before cuddling up to you on either side.

           "You were just in time." Iwaizumi leans down to your eye level so you'll meet his dark green gaze. "He's alive because of you. Isn't that enough now?" He rubs your cheek.

           "... Yeah." You give a small smile.

           "Good. Just so you know, everyone's missed you so we're gonna sleep in here tonight." He pulls away to give a smile in return as the others start filing in with their own blankets and pillows. Bokuto quickly crawls into bed with you, moving Atsumu out of the way so he can kiss your cheek and cuddle you. You chuckle and smile closing your eyes as warmth starts to surround you.

           Everything is okay for now.

~•~•~•

           "... Have you ever thought about getting married?" He asks as you both cross the river. You blink and stop on a rock, tilting your head at him as he stops, not looking back at you.

           "Why? I'm only ten." You frown in confusion.

           "Just wondering if you did." Tendo, pokes at the ground with his walking stick. "Do you think… You would marry me?"

           "Hm… I don't know. You're always breaking your promises." You fold your arms. "I don't think I'll marry someone that does that." He pauses and turns around with a hurt expression.

          "I'll start keeping them. I promise." He frowns lightly.

          "I don't really care if it's a little promise. But if we make a big promise you have to keep it- no matter what." You point at him. He blinks at you before holding up his pinkie in response. You hook yours to it and you both smile.

          "So will you marry me someday?" He asks, tilting his head.

          "I dunno. Maybe. Unless…" You trail off and blush.

          "Unless Sakusa asks?" He giggles knowingly.

          "Shhh! Tendo!" You gasp.

          "What? No one can hear us. We're in the middle of the woods." He laughs.

          "S-Still! I'm only ten! Let's stop talking about this and go catch beetles! We're going to beat the twins this time!" You move ahead stubbornly.

           "But we've never reached the twins. We don't even know what they look like." Tendo calls.

           "They're twins they can't be that hard to miss."

           "Unless they're alone."

           "Twins can do that…. Don't laugh at me! I thought they were always supposed to be together!"

            "You're cute. I hope we get married someday."

            "Ten! I'm ten, Tendo!"

          "Let's go." Bokuto breathes as you meet his golden gaze. You nod and the twins take their fox forms as Bokuto takes his large owl form. You climb into the owl's back with Oikawa, the twins wedging themselves between you two before Bokuto takes off.

You roll away, getting to your feet and pausing as flowers take over the man's body, roots sucking him dry before falling into a pile of soil on the floor.

           "Glow! It's time to go!" A voice shouts before a flash bang drops at the masked villain's feet. You close your eyes, leaping at Tendo and holding your right hand out toward the enemy as you do, bursting any attacks you couldn't see. Tendo holds onto you, eyes squeezing shut. The blindness from the flashbang subsides and you open your eyes, looking back to find more piles of soil where the other villains had been.

            "... Guys?" You call up to the second floor, hugging Tendo firmly.

           "We're okay." Atsumu calls down as they rush down to you guys.

           "Good thing Bokuto stopped us from coming down." Osamu comments when they reach you, looking over at the piles.

           "I did not like that glowing water. Whole body started shuddering." Bokuto shivers.

           "I don't think that villain was with them." Oikawa frowns. "You okay Tendo."

           "Mhm…" Tendo hums, hiding his face in your shoulder.

           "Here, try this." You hand Tendo the device Kita had made for you. He nods, using it but not moving his head from your shoulder. You frown heavily, rubbing his back. You've never seen him shaken before. He grunts, stiffening as a small pop sounds from his injured leg before taking another breath from the inhaler. You take the device and change the canister for him.

          "Doesn't do shit for the pain…" He grunts, holding onto you as he stiffens in pain again.

          "Sorry. This all I can do for you-" He lifts his head and kisses you before pulling back to give you a frown.

          "Thank you for coming to save me." He breathes, shaking slightly.

          "O-Of course... I'm here, Tendo." You breathe, pulling him into a tight hug. He holds onto you, closing his eyes. The others exchange concerned glances before huddling around you two and patting Tendo's back.

          "We should get out of here. If we're caught it'll look bad." Oikawa says lightly. Everyone agrees and Bokuto takes his owl form, taking off with everyone out the hole you had made in the warehouse.

          "We should go back to the dorm. I'll contact Kita on the situation when we get there." You tell Bokuto. "That okay with you Tendo?" You peer over at him.

          "Wherever you are is fine with me." He answers quietly. You blink and move closer to him at that, rubbing his arm.

          "Okay then." You nod.

          The flight there is a bit of a blur, but once you get back to the dorm you find that Tendo's leg had finished healing during the trip.

          "___!" Nishinoya and the others call coming out to greet you.

          "You okay Tendo?" Nishinoya asks, tilting his head.

          "Better than I was." Tendo responds, removing the brace he had made for his leg.

          "I'm not sure what happened back there but I'm calling it a win." Atsumu breathes.

          "I wouldn't." Tendo breathes making everyone look at him as he straightens up. "The ones that chased me in there were all killed by some chaotic villain that just seemed like they were trying out a new toy instead of a quirk." He tilts his head with a frown. "This has Claw written on it."

           "But… Their facilities were destroyed." Ryuu says frowning.

           "Only the ones that were discovered. No one knows the origin of Claw. Or if those were the only facilities. But they are in the business of giving out strong quirks to the highest bidder." Tendo yawns, staggering suddenly.

           "That's enough, let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed." You move under his arm hastily.

           "Okay." He nods tiredly as you help him inside. The rest stay downstairs to discuss the new events as you take Tendo upstairs and to your bathroom. You get some clothes from Atsumu's dresser before going back in to find Tendo trying to doze off where he stood.

           "Come on Tendo, stay awake buddy." You breathe, stripping him down to his boxers. He blinks at you sleepily and chuckles lightly.

           "Damn… I'm too tired to properly enjoy this." He murmurs.

           "Good. Less distractions for me." You joke, turning on the water and helping him into the shower so you can wash him up. "That place stunk… and you're covered in blood, especially your leg." You mutter wiping him down.

          "Is not all mine…" He breathes, starting to nod off again. You blink and pat his cheek trying to get him to stay awake longer. He blinks at you with half lidded eyes. "I was scared… I never saw them coming… You're the only one who should surprise me… It's not right… Not right…" He shakes his head starting to drift again. You frown, reaching to wake him up again before deciding to let him sleep. You finish cleaning him off before turning off the water.

          Now to get him dressed. You look down at his boxers for a few moments, reaching for the waistband before blushing heavily and stopping yourself. "I can't do it…" You murmur before going out to call someone for help, nearly running into Iwaizumi as he comes into your room.

          "Hey. You said you were going to clean him off? Need help changing his clothes?" He guesses. You press your lips together, nodding with a blush. He blinks and chuckles lightly. "Okay, I'll handle it. You won't have to see anything, okay?" He says lightly. You nod and hug him at that, making him pause. "It's okay. I got you covered." He pats your back and looks back as the twins come in. "And the twins are gonna help." He adds.

           "Hm? Yeah, what do you need?" Osamu asks. You release Iwaizumi and he quickly explains before they go into the bathroom to dress Tendo. They soon carry him out, placing him on the bed so you can wrap him up like a burrito.

          "He'll be okay, that fast healing just took a lot out of him." Iwaizumi pats your head after you rest your chin on Tendo's chest with a pout.

          "I know…" You murmur looking down. "I was so worried. He was so close to being turned into dirt… That did not look like a painless death…" The twins take their fox forms before cuddling up to you on either side.

           "You were just in time." Iwaizumi leans down to your eye level so you'll meet his dark green gaze. "He's alive because of you. Isn't that enough now?" He rubs your cheek.

           "... Yeah." You give a small smile.

           "Good. Just so you know, everyone's missed you so we're gonna sleep in here tonight." He pulls away to give a smile in return as the others start filing in with their own blankets and pillows. Bokuto quickly crawls into bed with you, moving Atsumu out of the way so he can kiss your cheek and cuddle you. You chuckle and smile closing your eyes as warmth starts to surround you.

           Everything is okay for now.

~•~•~•

           "... Have you ever thought about getting married?" He asks as you both cross the river. You blink and stop on a rock, tilting your head at him as he stops, not looking back at you.

           "Why? I'm only ten." You frown in confusion.

           "Just wondering if you did." Tendo, pokes at the ground with his walking stick. "Do you think… You would marry me?"

           "Hm… I don't know. You're always breaking your promises." You fold your arms. "I don't think I'll marry someone that does that." He pauses and turns around with a hurt expression.

          "I'll start keeping them. I promise." He frowns lightly.

          "I don't really care if it's a little promise. But if we make a big promise you have to keep it- no matter what." You point at him. He blinks at you before holding up his pinkie in response. You hook yours to it and you both smile.

          "So will you marry me someday?" He asks, tilting his head.

          "I dunno. Maybe. Unless…" You trail off and blush.

          "Unless Sakusa asks?" He giggles knowingly.

          "Shhh! Tendo!" You gasp.

          "What? No one can hear us. We're in the middle of the woods." He laughs.

          "S-Still! I'm only ten! Let's stop talking about this and go catch beetles! We're going to beat the twins this time!" You move ahead stubbornly.

           "But we've never reached the twins. We don't even know what they look like." Tendo calls.

           "They're twins they can't be that hard to miss."

           "Unless they're alone."

           "Twins can do that…. Don't laugh at me! I thought they were always supposed to be together!"

            "You're cute. I hope we get married someday."

            "Ten! I'm ten, Tendo!"
