The child runs from his spot and jumps in his arms and is caught by the guy. It takes you a moment to process how Kaito was afraid of you, but not of him!? Behind his red and long bangs, his eyes of the same wild color are watching you closely. He has two black spike piercings under both sides of his lower lip. And the fact that he's all dressed in black doesn't clear your suspicions about him.

"Why are you here all by yourself? Where's Yamada-san?"

"I got lost and this nice lady was about to help me find mommy!" You get up and your eyes meet again. The shivers are back. And then he makes a surprised face and his mouth forms an 'o' shape.

"You're the girl that served with both her hands and then fainted!" He seems excited while saying it.

"Oh... Um... yeah, that's me," now that you look at him closely, he seems familiar. He's not in your university, you would've recognized him immediately, there's no way a figure like his won't be forever implanted in your brain. Weren't you bad just at remembering names? Faces too?!

"I'm Tendou Satori, nice to meet you! We live in the same complex so I'll take Kaito-kun home myself if that's okay with you," there's no fucking way you're letting the child alone with this guy. Everything about him screams 'danger'.

"I think I'm going in the same direction. Mind if I join you?" This is such an obvious lie and you hope that he doesn't catch on. Luckily, he smiles—looking fucking terrifying—and agrees. Oh, thank God.

You pull out your phone and quickly text your roommates that something came up and you'll be late so they should either starve to death or eat some old food from the fridge. Tendou also calls Kaito's mother —guess that he did know them after all— and informs her about her son.

"I'm Ukai (Name), by the way," you introduce yourself. The child is holding onto Tendo's large hand and humming a song you can't recognize. He looks better than before, no longer pale or shaking. Tendo helped him wipe his face and blow his runny nose.

"I know your name"

"What?" You ask, taken aback by his sincere answer.

"Wakatoshi-kun and I are good friends. We watched your match together since it was all over the news and then he told me that he met you on the first day. He also said that you got reaaally mad at him when he gave you his opinion about the match. Knowing Wakatoshi-kun, he probably sounded rude and insensitive since he never sugarcoats his words or says something he doesn't mean just to make you feel better, hahaha. He'll give you his honest opinion without hesitating"

"You sound like you really admire him," just like the rest of your university, since girls have already started asking him out, but he refused every single one of them, without giving them any concrete explanation: 'I'm not interested in dating someone at the moment,' he says.

"Well, we've been on the same team for three years. He was my captain too!"

"You are from Shiratorizawa?" The gears in your head start working and you finally put two and two together. Now you realize why you had the feeling that he seemed familiar. "Wait, you're Guess Monster?" you gasp.

"Oh, so you know me after all!"

"I couldn't recognize you with your hair down"

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't have time to style it when I left. So, how comes that you've heard of my nickname?"

"My brother told me about you and I've also watched the match with Karasuno a few days ago. Though, I wish I could've been there in person," you lower your voice for the last part. You couldn't be there for the finals; you couldn't be there for the nationals... what a shitty senpai you are.
