|Chapter 31:  Bonds Rekindled|

You sighed as Nezu smiled at you, "I assure you, Y/n, that it will be safer with this parental request," he explained whilst raising his paw.
"I understand, Nezu. However, I am not only concerned about Izuku Midoriya but also about my other classmates. They are my cherished friends, and their families may not agree," you said, gently rubbing your neck.

 After the police interviewed you, Nezu approached you to discuss relocating the class to the UA dormitory. Since you were under UA's custody, you had to comply. However, after Izuku's conversation with his mother, you were apprehensive about whether he would return.

"Do not fret, my dear. Your teachers will persuade them," he reassured you.

You furrowed your brows but sighed in defeat. "Very well, thank you, Nezu." As you rose to leave the police station, he reminded you, "Just be here on Friday afternoon."

Opening the door, you replied, "Alright, I understand. Thank you, Father." Closing the door and walking towards Izuku's house, you suddenly froze in mid-step, realizing something. "I called Principal Nezu 'Father'," you mumbled, gripping your hair. "Why is my life fraught with such complexities?!"

••●••

"Please take care of my boy, Y/n, and All Might," you leaned your head back on the branch you were lounging on, eavesdropping on Izuku's parent-teacher conversation. Initially, you felt saddened by Inko's reluctance to grant their requests, understanding her concerns.

However, after an extensive discussion with All Might, she finally relented. Nonetheless, you couldn't shake the feeling of empathy towards her. 'Is this how others felt when I ran away and caused destruction?' you pondered with a sigh, closing your eyes. These haunting visions of monsters plagued your mind too frequently.

"What are you doing?" you snapped your eyes open and jumped, startled. "A-Aizawa!" you stammered, sitting up and losing your balance, causing gravity to take its toll and making you tumble to the ground. "Ow, goddammit," you mumbled, dusting yourself off as you faced the weary man, who seemed less fatigued than usual. He was clean-shaven and had his hair neatly tied up in a bun.

"What are you doing here?" you asked, regaining your composure and leaning against the tree.

 "I should ask you the same," he replied, a mixture of amusement and weariness evident in his voice. "Well, before UA, I came here and found Izuku-kun. He allowed me to stay, not technically inside because I prefer the outdoors, but he and his mother provided me with food, warmth, and a place I could appreciate," you explained, rubbing your neck.

 "His mom is truly kind, and I understand her reservations about Izuku-kun going back. She's also concerned about my well-being. I couldn't be more grateful to her. Inko is like a mother to me, and I hold deep affection for her," you added, smiling, while observing Izuku hugging his mom through the window.

In agreement with your sentiment, Aizawa nodded, suppressing a smile. 'She genuinely values family, even after enduring so much. Such remarkable compassion,' he thought. "Anyways, now I ask, why are you here?" you inquired, crossing your arms.

"I'm here for All Might. He's been here for a while, and I'm already done dealing with the other parents," he grumbled.

"Really? Huh," you placed your fingers on your chin, contemplating. "Well, thank you for everything, Aizawa," you expressed your gratitude, surprising him with a hug and making him slightly flustered. "Whatever," he responded, somewhat reciprocating the embrace, before walking off to his car. "I'll see you tomorrow," he stated, departing. You instinctively nodded and glanced back through the window, catching a glimpse of Inko. "Like a mother," you murmured.

You and your classmates gathered around a building as Aizawa began to speak. "For now, I am just glad that we were able to reunite Class 1-A," you smiled, relieved that your classmates' parents allowed them to continue attending school together.

 "Now, I will briefly explain about the dorms, but first..." Aizawa clapped his hands, gaining everyone's attention. "For now, we will prioritize obtaining our provisional licenses, which we had planned to acquire during the camp,"

People started whispering about licenses, although you couldn't grasp their significance. "Listen closely, this is important. Kirishima, Momo, Todoroki, Midoriya, Iida, and Bakugo, these five went to save Y/n that night," you tensed at the mention, causing the ones who saved you to lower their gaze.

 "Your reactions indicate that you were all at least partially aware. I will set aside the number of individuals involved and say this: if it were not for All Might's retirement, I would have expelled everyone, including Jiro and Hagakure. Not just the five who went but also the twelve who knew but didn't intervene. They betrayed our trust, regardless of their reasons. I would be grateful if you could regain that trust by following our guidelines and conducting yourselves properly,"

 Aizawa's words hung in the air, silence taking hold.

 "That is all. Now, let's go inside, regain our energy, and have some fun," he stated, turning around and walking away.'How can we have fun after that speech?' the class collectively thought.

 You glanced over to see Izuku, Kirishima, Momo, and Iida on the verge of tears. 'This is all my fault,' you blamed yourself, feeling the weight of the situation and almost succumbing to tears.

 Bakugo noticed this, grabbing Kaminari and using his quirks to create a comical expression on his face. You couldn't help but crack a smile, while Jiro covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter. You tried to resist, but failed, bursting into laughter. Soon, everyone joined in.

 "Let's go inside our dorms!"
