MHA: Harbinger of Fear - Male Reader x Midnight

Part 12

"Alright." Y/N sighed as his cap slipped over his (Hair Color) hair. "Are you ready?"

With only food on his mind, Hopper's tongue slipped out to lick his own nose. He shuffled about, urgent to see what was outside.

"That's a yes." Y/N ignored his sore muscles and brought Hopper up.

With Nemuri and the girls out for a school day, Y/N was left with their new dog.

Walking down the main path, dog and a binder of papers in hand, they left. His flight to Musutafu was slow but a joy for Hopper.

In the same luxurious apartment complex Gulo stayed in, Y/N knocked on her door and heard her just moments later.

"What's the password?!"

Y/N held Hopper up to a peephole in the door, letting him sniff the bit of metal and glass.

Hearing a rush of clicking metal, the door swung open for Sophia to rush forward with a bright and wide smile.

"Hello there!" She gushed, squeezing Hopper's cheeks. "What's your name??"

Her fingers smoothed over his fur where she found his tag. It was two sizes too big for him, making it very visible.

"Hopper?? Is that you?" Coddling the puppy with gentle pets and scratches. She then turned to Y/N. "When'd you get them?!"

"Nemuri got him yesterday." Y/N said. "I was wondering if you wanted to do your thing."

"My thing?!" Sophia exclaimed with a hand on her chest. "I haven't done that in years!"

He gave her a deadpanned look, earning him a chuckle and murmur.

"Touché." Stepping forward to peeked both ways down the hallway and gave a rushed wave. "Come on."

"Is he house trained?" She asked while clearing the counter of papers and a laptop.

Her apartment was the usual but with a calm and upbeat genre of music playing from her computer. Y/N had a feeling it was shuffling through a random playlist.

"Would you like to find out?" Y/N joked.

"No!" She immediately replied with a pointed finger. "If he starts sniffing around, you better take him out."

"He hasn't had anything yet. It's fine."

Standing to a small island in her kitchen, Sophia sighed. She wiped her hands dry with a towel, having just washed them. "Alright, bring him over."

Y/N set Hopper on the granite counter top and held the binder up. It was thin and brand new, containing only a few pages of Hopper's record.

"Oh, good," Gulo commented. "You remembered."

Y/N watched as she checked Hopper over. From his paws she spread his toes, simply checking for disfigurement or bugs, as little a chance that was.

"You look like you're three months old, Hopper." Sophia said, speaking to the puppy. "A red-headed tricolor too. Aren't you just the most handsome dog in Japan... Has he had his shots?"

"Nemuri had everything done."

"Everything?" She got a nod in return. "Then why bring him here?"

"A lower chance of paparazzi." Y/N gestured to Hopper with folded arms. "And I wanted to see it for myself."

"Well, he's pretty healthy." Sophia shrugged and pat Hopper's back, causing his tail to curl with joy. "I think it's best you get him some of those dental chews, though."
