Izuku had a bit of a hard time enjoying his family's moment. The back of his mind was clouded with intense thoughts pertaining to his complex situation with Bakugo.

Izuku slowly got up and went to get himself some water from the faucet.

"Izu~" Mina said gently grabbing his waist from behind "Are you okay?"

Izuku was just about to say he was until Mina cut him off. "Oh... and don't lie..."

The following was a few seconds of silence until a sigh escaped Izuku's lips "... I... I'm worried..."

"...About?" Mina replied sharply.

"... Bakugo... He's not going to apologize. He said, even if he's forced to, he won't mean it." Izuku said slowly. The fact that he didn't call him Kachan told Mina how serious this was.

"......... Izuku, I think it's fair to say that we both saw that coming right?" Mina sounded calm but her grip on Izuku was slowly getting stronger.

Izuku turned around fully and hugged her as she let out a deep breath "Yeah... but... what are we supposed to do about it?"

"...I don't want that bastard to get his way anymore... Let's tell the teachers tomorrow." Mina stated.

Izuku nodded "Let's do our best to end this."

Mina kissed his cheek "Thanks, Izu~"

Izuku blushed and kissed her forehead "You're welcome, Mina~"

Little did they know, a young Unicorn overhead the whole thing without being detected.

At bedtime

Izuku and Mina had set up a smaller bed from the other rooms up in theirs

Eri looked confused "Why is there another bed, Daddy?" She asked while pointing at the bed.

Izuku crouched beside her nervously "Well Eri... Th-This is your bed... We wanted to see if you'd be okay sleeping in your own bed tonight."

Eri gulped and tried not to cry 'Why? Do they not like me anymore?! Are they going to get rid of me?!...... NO! They love me! I... I have to trust them... They only want what's best for me, right?' "O-O-Okay" Eri forced a smile as she tried to hold back tears only to fail.

Mina and Izuku quickly hugged her tight. "It's gonna be okay, Eri." Mina whispered.

"It's just for tonight. Then you can spend tomorrow night in our bed, okay?" Izuku assured.

Eri wiped her tears and hugged them back "Y-Yeah!"

Later that night, everyone was in bed trying to sleep. Izuku and Mina felt bad... They'd discussed it at the gym but telling Eri not to sleep next to them hurt them as much as it hurt Eri. They wanted to hold her, hear her small snores and feel her little limbs clinging between them.

But they knew, they knew Eri would eventually need her own bed, not now of course, but it was an idea brought by Izuku to see if she could sleep through a night without having a nightmare.

So far it was working but... That's because Eri didn't go to sleep yet. Eri looked at the dresser, the ceiling and the edges of her parents' bed. She tried to close her eyes, but it just wouldn't happen. She then felt scared, paranoid that something would come out of the darkness and grab her. She grabbed the closest thing she could and was immediately relived to see the plushies of her parents. She gripped them tight as her eyes finally began to shut from both exhaustion and relief.
