Hinata fell asleep again after having a long play with his friends and their mothers. Semi held him in his arms as he walked back to his home. The others walked behind him looking at the cute child. Goshiki yawned and stretched his arms.

"That was a wild day today,"Tendo mumbles looking at Ushijima who held the basket and looking upset.

"What's wrong?"Shibaru asked Tendo who sighed.

"I...I don't want to lose him."He said standing there looking at the floor.

He felt an arm around his shoulder with a hand pat on his shoulder arm. "We won't. We never will and you know that Tendo."

"Shibaru is right, he is still with us even if he goes back to normal. He was when he was four he is now when he is seven."Semi told him making the male gulp.

"But he doesn't know about his life, he's remembering his life, what if he changes right after he finds out about himself that he kept it away from us!"Tendo's voice shakes making Ushijima stare at the child still sleeping.

"We will be there for him Tendo. He has so many people with him. He has us. We are his family. It's our job to protect him and keep him happy."Ushijima told him then took Hinata into his arms from Semi.

"Right...holy shit he looks so cute. Look at his smile."Tendo asked excitedly looking at Hinata.

"Now he's back."

Once they made it to the apartment. Seno came out with pink pajamas. He saw his son and smiled.

"How was it today at the park?"He asked as he took the picnic bag from Shirabu who just smiled.

Hinata groans moving his head to make himself comfortable as they watch. "He was taking too many naps, is that okay for him?"

"Uh...I would think so."He mumbles then opened the door wide for them to come inside.

Once they took off their shoes, they walked in and went to Hinata's room. Ushijima put him on his bed under the blanket with a smile that wouldn't come off his face.

"Next time, I'll dress him in a pumpkin costume. We should dress him like a pumpkin!"Tendo whispers to Goshiki who agreed.

"Would you guys like some sweets?"Seno asked coming to the room.

"Winner gets the last slice of sweets!"Yamagata called out and the rest ran out of the room.

Ushijima looked at Hinata one last time before leaving. Semi stared at pulled his blanket closer to his shoulders. He smiled and kissed his forehead then walked out to smack Yamagata's head.

"Hey! What's your name?"Hinata looked up to see a child with no face.

"I'm Hinata Shoyo! What's your name?"He asked excitedly to which the child chuckled.

"I'm Imamura Mari! Nice to meet you."He said smiling then held out some blocks.

"My friends and I are going to play hide and seek, would you like to play?"He asked and Hinata nodded.

Hinata had never had friends. He was surprised he met someone today. He looked at the other kids then smiled. He noticed they had some weird auras coming from them but he ignored them.

"I'm it! You hide okay."

"Count to ten this time, not five."One said point a finger at the blue shoes child.

"Okay! Now I'm going to count!"He said and Hinata looked at Imamura.

"How do we play?"He asked and Imamura smiled at him.

"You have to hide somewhere when he is done counting to ten and he has to find us. If he found the first person, after everyone if found they are it."He nodded and looked at the kids.

Hinata walked around and found a closet. He walked to it and closed it then hid. He started to get scared, just as if his mother was going to run to him and chase him or his father ready to beat him up.

"Come out come out wherever you are."He heard and covered his mouth.

He was starting to fear his life, he was sweating, he was hyperventilating. He was scared for his life. He started to wipe the tears that were falling and wanted to hide forever.

Semi walked back to his room after having some sweets. He wanted to wake him up to have some dinner. He made it to his room to see the child in distress. He quickly ran to him and hugged him in his arms. He rubbed his back softly until he calmed down.

"Semi Mama?"He mumbles as he opens his eyes to see Semi in front of him.

"It's me. You're okay."He said as he moved his hair off his face.

He smiled ruffling his curls. He pushed them back and walked to out of his room with the child looking the other way. He was busy smiling and forgetting where he was.

Hinata looked at the others talking in the living room. He looked at Semi who raised an eyebrow. He was surprised to get a weird look out of Hinata.

"Let's prank them. Shh."He whispers and looks at the people in the living room.

He pulled himself down which made Semi put him down to his feet. Hinata slowly and tiptoed to the side of them. Semi went beside him turning on his phone to record and Hinata went closer to scream at them.

They jumped and turned to see Hinata laugh. Ohira picked him up and tickled him. He continued to laugh making them smile. Seno got up and walked to the kitchen to get something then came back as the laughing calmed down.

"Chicken nuggies! MY CHICKEN NUGGIES!"He yelled excitedly as he sat close to the table.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome,"Seno said and Goshiki fainted from the cuteness.

"Man down, man down suckers,"Yamagata mumbles as he shakes the body to wake him up.

He slapped Goshiki's face that woke him up sitting. Hinata looked down at his nuggets and smiled. Ushijima pointed at one of the chicken nuggets smiling.

"What is that one?"He asked and Hinata picked it up to look at it.

"It's a star!"

"And that one?"He asked pointing at the other chicken nuggets after he ate that one.

"Dinosaur!"He said excitedly as the male kept playing the game until they all ate and left for the night.
