Elena laid on Katsuki's chest, a few tears staining her cheeks as he helped her breathe. "I wasn't mad at him, Katsuki. I just...I just began thinking of mom... and what she would think." Elena muttered, her voice sore from crying.

By now it was morning and Elena hadn't slept a minute. Her and Katsuki had stayed up and eaten Ice Cream while talking. They had two hours before school and Katsuki knew Elena needed some sleep. "I know. I think Aizawa knows too. Just talk to him after class later and sort things out." Katsuki told her, rubbing her back.

"As for now you Ice Cream Monster..." Katsuki began. "How about you go into the cave of Ice Cream and sleep?" Katsuki asked, running his fingers through her hair as he eased the mood. "Very well. I shall fall into a slumber for two whole hours." Elena joked back, only for both of them to laugh briefly.

"Goodnight Katsuki." Elena said, her head nuzzling into his bare chest. "I love you. Goodnight." He said, hugging her close.

"I love you."

Waking up, Katsuki looked around. His eyes landed on the beauty that laid on his chest, fast asleep. "Hey, wake up beautiful." Katsuki said, shutting his alarm off. Elena slowly awoke, her head rising as she looked at him, her eyes groggy. "Good morning, princess." Katsuki said, ruffling her hair.

"What time is it?" Elena asked, her voice raspy as she spoke. "Time to wake up." He said and lifted her off his chest, putting her beside him as he covered her with a blanket.

Elena grabbed the blanket tightly around her, falling back asleep. "I'll make us breakfast, when I get back up here you better be awake." Katsuki said, kissing her head. "Or I'll wake you up." Katsuki whispered in her ear.

Elena laughed with the friends of hers, holding her backpack as Mina and her talked about the trip. Just as they were about to walk out of the classroom, Elena spotted Shota laying comfortably in his sleeping bag, however he was hiding, buried into it as he hid.

"I'll be right with you guys. Eat without me." Elena said, kissing Katsuki's cheek. "Alrighty!" Mina exclaimed, kissing her cheek before she skipped away with the group. Katsuki nodded at her with a faint smile before he walked away.

"Dad?" Elena asked after closing the door. Shota stayed quiet in his sleeping bag. "Dad? Come out." Elena said, crouching down before him and shaking him. He had been hidden in the sleeping bag almost the whole lesson, just hiding.

The sleeping bag slowly zipped up, only to reveal Shota. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair more messy than usual as he looked at her. "Oh...come on, get up." Elena said, grabbing his hand as she pulled him up from the sleeping bag. He stood in front of her, shame on his face as he refused to look at her.

"Let's talk." Elena said, grabbing his desk chair and sitting down on it. Shota refused to look at her. "Look, I'm sorry. I never meant for that to happen. I'm s-" Shota began, only for Elena to interrupt him. "No, I'm sorry for lashing out. I wasn't mad at you. I was just in shock, and well...I thought about mom and what she would think..." Elena said apologetically.

"I just miss mom. Or rather, I just wished she was here. I am absolutely not mad...it's your life.." Elena said, scratching the back of her head. Just as she was about to speak more, Shota had hugged her tightly.

"I-"

"Trust me, its not that serious. You're my daughter and I'd never put more attention on someone else. You're my first and only priority." Shota muttered, rubbing her back. "I felt ashamed. I didn't want you to think I wasn't thinking about Yuko anymore. I think about her every day. Nobody will ever be like Yuko, nobody." Shota chanted, holding Elena tight.
