Warnings for this chapter: Small amount of cussing.

    "Look at how pretty those boys are!" The shadow woman exclaims, leaning further towards the television screen. The masked man glances up from sharpening his sword to see who the woman is talking about.

  "Who? You're looking at a crowd," The man asks in confusion, narrowing his eyes. The woman giggles and points to one of the student viewing areas where Katsuki and Hitoshi sat next to each other.

  "The pretty blonde and the pretty purple haired one! The purple one reminds me of Insomniac," The woman sighs dreamily, remembering the day she met the ex-vigilante.

  "They gonna be our volunteers?" The man asks curiously, focusing back on his sword. The woman giggles and shakes her head.

  "No... I hope not. Lady's talking about them being great for our cause already," The woman says cheerfully, leaning back and tilting the chair off the ground.

  "You crazy... We'll keep an eye on 'em," The masked man states affectionately. The woman giggles again, slightly unhinged before staring up at the shadow covered ceiling.

  "Thank you, Therris."

  "Anything for you, Vilis."

    "Hitoshi-kun, are you alright?" Momo asks worriedly, noticing Hitoshi covering his eyes. He nods his head and yawns loudly.

  "Just tired. 'm fine," He says tiredly, leaning back and scratching his eyebrow. Momo frowns slightly before pulling up her shirt. Her skin glows pink before a pair of noise cancelling headphones and a sleep mask falls into her lap.

  "Here." Momo hands Hitoshi the items she created. He blinks down at them before tilting his head. Momo giggles before placing them in his hands.

  "Go back there and take a nap. I'll make you another pillow and a blanket," Momo says with a smile. Hitoshi sighs dramatically before getting up and walks behind the seats.

  "What are you doing?" Eijirō asks curiously while Momo makes another blanket and pillow. Hitoshi sits on the ground and places the pillow on the ground, laying back.

  "Sleeping," Hitoshi answers pulling on the sleep mask before pulling up the blanket and putting on the headphones.

  "Uh, Okay?" Eijirō says with furrowed eyebrows. It took only five minutes before Hitoshi fell asleep.

  "Momo!" Himari signs, jumping into Hitoshi's seat. Momo looks down and smiles warmly at the three year old.

  "Yes, Hima-chan?" Momo asks and signs at the same time. Himari smiles brightly and giggles.

  "Is Hito-nii alright? He never sleeps during the day," Himari asks, glancing at the passed out teenager in worry. Momo smiles and nods her head.

  "He's just tired. Yesterday took a lot out of him," The black haired teenager says, making Himari frown.

  "That girl is a meanie."

  "She is. Don't worry, I'll make sure she doesn't try to harm Hitoshi-kun again," Momo says reassuringly. Himari bites her lip and glances at Hitoshi again.

  "Promise? Hito-nii tries his best to protect us from Mama and the other bad people, but he can't do that all the time. He won't let us protect him..." Himari stares at her hands, sniffing loudly. Momo sighs and places her hands on the girl's.

  "I promise. I'll protect you and Yate-chan too," She says in determination. "I take my promises seriously."

  Himari nods her head, rubbing the tears away and giving the black haired teenager a bright smile. "Thank you."

  Momo smiles softly and places a hand on Himari's head before focusing back on the arena. The fight is about to start.

  "The fight is about to begin," Momo says, nudging the three year old girl towards her twin. Himari grins and quickly scrambles out of the chair, skipping over to Hayate.

  "This fight is going to be interesting, at least." Momo leans back and gets comfortable in her seat, crossing her arms.

    Hitoshi is startled awake from a huge explosion vibrating the stadium. He bolts right up and rips off his sleep mask and headphones. A rush of dust and smoke suddenly surrounds him, the wind pressure pushing him against the wall.

  "Holy fucking shit." Hitoshi blinks rapidly when the wind calms down. He quickly stands up and gapes at the dust covering the entire arena.

  "What the fuck happened?" The indigo haired teenager asks incredulously, making many of his classmates jump in fright.

  "Midoriya-kun and Todoroki-kun sent one last attack at each other and caused an explosion! So manly," Eijirō explains, eyes wide with awe.

  "The dust is clearing!" Present Mic exclaims, his voice echoing loudly through the silent stadium.

  "Izuku-kun, what the hell did you do?" Hitoshi snarls when the dust clears and he sees Izuku passed out, slightly imbedded into the wall, and Shōto breathing heavily, still in the arena.

  "Midoriya is out of bounds! Todoroki wins the fight!" Nemuri calls out, swinging down her whip. Hitoshi, covers his ears at the sudden and loud cheering screams of the audience. Goddamn.

  "If he breaks his bones one more fucking time," The insomniac mutters internally, walking back to his seat. He notices he had carried the blanket with him and wraps it around himself, frowning.

  "I didn't expect you to be awake so soon. Only ten minutes have passed," Momo says, slightly surprised when she sees Hitoshi slouching into his seat. Hitoshi grumbles and wraps the blanket tighter around himself.

  "I didn't expect to be woken up by a fucking earthquake, but here I am." Momo giggles and pats his shoulder.

  "Hey, Dead Eyes! Tame your fucking brat!" Katsuki shouts angrily, trying and failing to get Himari to let go of his waist.

  "She can't be tamed, but I'll try," Hitoshi states, huddling into his blanket. "Himari, come here." The girl pouts and reluctantly releases her hold around the blonde before stepping over to the chair next to Hitoshi. He opens his arms and swallows her in a hug.

  "Hmph!" Himari struggles to pop her head out of the blankets, glaring up at her older brother.

  "You cannot escape. Now be calm, my child," He says, placing his chin on the indigo haired girl's head. She pouts and crosses her arms under the blanket.

  "This is your own fault, Hima," Hayate signs, sitting next to Katsuki. "You could have just asked Momo-nee to make you a blanket."
