Izuku opened his eyes, sunlight directly glaring at his eyeballs. A growl left his lips as he tried to get up to start the day, but he felt something clutching at him making it hard to rise from his bed. Looking at the sheets - yes, he used sheets. They were comfortable - he frowned and flipped it over, revealing a very naked Himi snuggling against him. She was also fast asleep, mumbling something about scars and blood and other mundane things as her fingers stroked against his scarred flesh.

Sighing, Izuku poked Himi's cheek but got no response. Undaunted, he poked her cheek again, this time eliciting a light groan from the girl. Her eyes fluttered as she looked directly at him, a grin slowly floating up her face as her clinginess grew even more.

"Zuzu~" Himi brought her face close and sniffed at his chest. "Sleep more?"

"Nope, we have class today." With his usual one-track mind, Izuku pried the clingy girl off of him and got off the bed. Himi pouted, but he paid it no mind and went directly to the bathroom just down the hall.

As he let the cold water drip down his body, Izuku thought back to the time when Nezu called him back after testing Himi about things.

"Finally done with your testing, Nezu?" Izuku opened the door to the principal's office and blinked. Toga grinned at him while her legs swayed in the air, the couch too large for her tiny frame. Nezu was sipping his tea while focusing intently on the pieces of paper, shuffling them one by one as he read through them at a brisk pace.

"Just a minute. Why don't you chat with Miss Toga for a minute while I parse through her answers." Nezu placed his cup of tea back down to hold the papers with his two paws. Shrugging, Izuku sat right next to Toga, feeling the soft cushions underneath him.

"So, how'd you think you do?" Toga tilted her head, before her grin grew even more, her fangs peeking out of the corner of her lips as she leaned forward.

"I don't know. But Nezu really likes me, so good, I guess?" Toga schooched over and leaned her head against his shoulder. Not seeing anything wrong with the action, Izuku let the girl do her thing and waited quietly for Nezu to finish his paperwork.

Izuku was content to sit in silence, and judging from Toga's mannerisms, she was as well. The only sound audible within the room was the shuffling of papers as Nezu continued to mark Toga's answers with narrowed eyes.

It took about half an hour before Nezu was done with checking everything and he called out to the two of them sitting on the couch with nary a sound save for their rhythmic breathing.

"Midoriya, Toga, please come here for a second." Nezu motioned his paw in a come hither gesture. Izuku and Toga looked at each other for a moment, before getting off their asses and approaching the pensive looking rat. "Now then, Toga, allow me to congratulate you on passing my exam, however sudden it is."

"Oh, nice!" Izuku gave Toga a thumbs up, before being glomped on by said girl with a manic grin.

"And as I have said earlier, I can only slot her into the General Course." Nezu's words caused Toga to pout. "However, you two can still interact with each other during lunch break and free times. I expect you both to hold proper decorum as students of my fine academy, so no overt PDA, Miss Toga."

"Aww, but I want to hug Zuzu!" Toga pouted even more but a strict glare from Nezu silenced the teen. "Fine."

"By the way, what about Toga's blood intake?" Izuku tapped on the girl's shoulder, causing her to snuggle even further into his body. "Since we won't be seeing each other for most of the whole day, and this girl likely needs a daily intake to not go off the deep end, what are we going to do?"
