If Umemiya was the type of leader who liked to tend his garden on the rooftop, then Sakura was the type of leader who enjoyed his time napping in his free time.
Light snores from the heterochromatic teen accompanied the quiet atmosphere as he curled his body on the swinging hammock of the rooftop. His long, dark green Furin coat was thrown haphazardly on the picnic chair, yet another jacket was already draped on his body to block the still-cold spring breeze. Sakura dipped his nose further into the warmth and sighed.
What a sight.
Suo smiled behind his cup of warm tea he just brewed. He could see the imaginary tail behind his captain swayed in contempt and a pair of cat ears twitched at the sound of Sugishita snipping some wilting branches on Umemiya's tomato garden.
"Sakura-san looks very relaxed lately," Nirei immediately slotted himself next to his teacher when he entered the rooftop. He put down his notebooks to receive the small cup that Suo offered to him. The shorter teen took a small sip before he melted at the calming taste. "Thank you for the tea, Suo-san."
"I'm glad Sakura-chan finally lets his guard down with us after all this time," Kiryuu sneaked in to take numerous angles of Sakura's sleeping figure before he uploaded them on their class's group chat. He let out a silent giggle at the hundreds of chaotic responses he received from their classmates because of the photos.

Tsugeura sat across Nirei and Suo with a satisfied groan. He clicked the protein bottle he had brought open and drank the entire content in one go. The way his upper muscles flexed at the motion almost made Suo choke on his tea with much cringe.
"It's a good virtue to relax sometimes! I guess yesterday's fight took a lot of energy from him," the orange-haired teen licked his lips and laughed.
Everyone on the rooftop recalled how Sakura went batshit crazy last night when someone managed to trip Suo down as he tried to cover Nirei from a stray punch. Their captain turned the tides of the fight in an instant, taking down almost all of their enemies with his agile, kickboxing-fighting style.
They didn't even get the chance to process the situation.
"I'm not actually that surprised to see Sakura-san reacted like that. After all, nobody ever caught Suo-san off-guard since our first year," Nirei absentmindedly scribbled something on his small book. The blonde teen shuddered when he remembered the feral look on his beloved captain's face.
"Tch, weak," Sakura's smirk dropped before casually spitting out the blood in his mouth. His mismatched eyes glinted dangerously under the moonlight at the fallen bodies. The long Furin uniform that flew behind him got stained with so much blood, turning its proud green color into a mess of murky brown.
"And you!" The teen suddenly turned his body around to point his finger and scrunched his nose with much dissatisfaction towards a smiling Suo with the oh-so-Sakura-like attitude. "I can't believe some stupid assholes got you like that!"
"It warms my heart that Sakura-san is really protective of us, but I don't want to see that again in the near future," Nirei took another small sip of his tea to ease his nerves.
An audible whine interrupted their small conversation all of a sudden. They turned their heads towards the source of the sound with panic visible in their eyes.
Sakura stretched and twisted his body around the hammock to find a more comfortable position before staying still again. One of his legs dangled off the swinging bed while his left arm propped under his head. Another small rhythmic snore sent a sign that the teen was still in his dreamland. They let out a relieved sigh.
"I could feel my heart drop for a second there," Tsugeura whispered so quietly that the others had to strain their ears to hear him. "It's not a good virtue to disturb his rest."
Suo chuckled at the younger teen's antique. His eyes softened at Sakura's sleeping figure. "Sometimes I still can't believe that this Sakura-kun is the same as the Sakura-kun who charges into fights without much thinking."
Indeed, Sakura really acted like a cat most of the time. He could be as docile as a house cat yet could turn as prickly as a stray in the next second.
Kiryuu finally joined the other three on the wooden picnic table and tucked his knees onto his chest. He pulled out his wireless earpods from his pocket and logged in to the game on his phone. "At the end of the day, that's just how Sakura-chan is. Let's just enjoy today's weather and loosen up-"
"Oi, you Furin punks!" A loud shout came from the ground. "Come out of there, you rats!"
"...or not," Kiryuu's smile immediately got wiped out. His usual emerald irises darkened at the sudden interruption.
The four of them, minus Sugishita who didn't give any fucks on the commotion, stepped to the edge of the rooftop to see the culprit.
An older man, clearly the leader of the huge crowd behind him, smirked when he noticed them peeking out from above. He dropped the butt of his cigarette and crushed it using his boots before swinging a metallic bat casually on his shoulder. An obvious shiner colored almost half of his face in different shades of purple. Nirei blinked his eyes and gasped in recognition.
"Oh, he's the one from yesterday!"
"Now that you said it, I'm getting embarrassed that someone like him got me," Suo lightly laughed. "Your pill-bug stance is definitely way cooler, Nirei-kun."
Kiryuu whistled. "That's one good punch Sakura threw right there."
"Shall we play another game?" The leader continued his provocation. "I won't let you brats off the hook easily after beating my men down like that. Especially that shitty captain of yours!"
"Eh? What a hassle. You guys started it first," Suo's eyebrows knitted in polite annoyance. "We gave you the chance to not embarrass yourself further yesterday, so why are you acting like you have the upper hand now?"
Ouch, that rubbed the person's ego at the wrong spot. The person's face flared red in anger. "Cut the crap, fuckers. Get the freak out so we can give him the lesson he deserved."
Only silence answered his outburst. Even Sugishita stood still at the foul statement.

Nirei turned off his phone just as Suo let out some weird aura around him. The fists behind his back tightened while his patience was clearly hanging by a thread. Nirei sighed and turned his phone back on.

You know what
A prayer does sound good
"Ah, the ancient creature in my eye tries to take control of me," Suo broke the chilling silence first. His lone reddish-brown eye stared down emotionlessly. "Should we really entertain them?"
Kiryuu hummed contemplatively before giving his earpods and phone to Nirei. His usual smile bloomed a little bit too sweet for the blonde's liking. "Nirei-chan, can you hold this? I don't want to break them for the hundredth time."
"Man, I just finished my daily exercise a few minutes ago," Tsugeura cracked his neck loudly, followed by each of his knuckles. "I guess another round won't hurt anyone."
Nirei sweatdropped. "That's actually a weird thing to say, considering your virtue, Tsugeura-san."
"Whoever speaks badly about Sakura-kun is against our virtue, right, Tsugeura-kun?" Suo replied airily. The curly-haired teen barked a laugh and patted Suo's shoulder enthusiastically.
"You got it right, Suo-kun!"
Nirei never thought that the idea of Suo entertained Tsugeura's way of thinking meant that shits were really about to go down. He stepped aside to let his friends make their way towards the door.
The crowd below went rowdy when they noticed their retreating figures from the edge of the rooftop. Curses and degrading words got thrown around, creating a cloud of incoherent blabbers around them. The riot managed to stir their slumbering captain awake. Sakura's heterochromatic eyes blinked lazily towards the door, looking at his friends while still in a daze.
"Huh, did something happen?" He slurred, rubbing his eyes open. An inaudible yawn escaped his lips, letting his small fangs peeked out adoringly.
If it weren't for the unfavorable conditions at the moment, the combat trio would definitely melt at the sight of their captain's not-yet-fully-awaken state. Kiryuu was so ready to snatch his phone back from Nirei's possession to capture the scene in front of them.
The current Furin's representative tried to sit up but Sugishita put his big palm on his mismatched eyes, easily covering them away from the bright reality. Sakura let out a confused noise, almost sounded like an annoyed mewl.
"Rest," the blue-haired teen hissed. "Someone just needs a small lesson for yesterday's homework."
Sakura grumbled yet complied at Sugishita's words. He unconsciously tightened his hug on the Furin jacket that blanketed him and made himself even smaller than anyone could imagine. "Whatever. Wake me up when patrol starts."
Sugishita only let out a huff when he saw how tight Sakura's grip on his uniform was, crumpling the fabric in between his fingers. He gently ruffled the younger's messy bedhead before joining the rest of his classmates.
"I see you didn't manage to retrieve your jacket," Suo commented. "Sugishita-kun do care for Sakura-kun after all, hm?"
"..." the tall teen jutted his lower lip out of annoyance and shoved his way into the entrance, leaving the other three snickering at his attitude.
"Well then," Suo turned his head towards Nirei. The blonde teen straightened his posture at his teacher's charming smile. "We trust the rooftop to you, Nirei-kun."
"Leave it to me!" Nirei raised his fists in front of his chest. His eyes burned with determination.
"Take care of Sakura-kun for us!" Tsugeura exclaimed, waving his hands cheerfully. Nirei shouted back a simple okay before pushing the door closed. He leaned his body on the rusty door and let out another sigh. His honey-like irises stared at the moving clouds in the vast blue sky above him as his ears tried to tune out the raging fight below.
"I hope they don't make such a mess on the school grounds."
He only received a snore from his captain as an answer. Nirei felt his laugh erupt from his throat at the silly timing of Sakura's grunt.
"Well then," he flipped his phone out. "Maybe I should do my partake in this case."
He started typing some short, yet questionable emails with some attached pictures to spread. Nirei hummed in satisfaction.
They were all aware that Sakura Haruka could fend himself off just fine. Despite his small build, the youngest of them packed one hell of a kick that could easily send his enemies to another realm in an instant.
Sakura Haruka himself was just the kind of force that should not be underestimated.
But that single fact didn't deter his friends' desire to protect Sakura from the society that already failed him in the past at all costs.
"Let's see if you can still show your face around Makochi after this," Nirei chuckled darkly as he pressed the send button.
Nobody should mess with the current Furin's top cat.
After all, Sakura Haruka was, and would always be their precious captain.
