With nemuri

*it was finally time to go back to the B plot, as nemuri took a day off to finally go and take back her little sushi. She made it to the given directions and knocked the doors a little too excitedly. Since seeing Sushi wasn't the only thing on Nemuri's mind, as the thought of sushi's savior came into her mind. Nemuri felt her cheeks starting to get a bit warm.*

Nemuri" hm. I wonder if she'll come out wearing my sweater. Probably not, but a girl can dream"

*Nemuri thought as the apartment door was opened after only a few knocks. Nemuri smiled wide at the woman who opened it, now wearing a new sweater different from the one Nemuri had lent her, much to her disappointment.*

Nemuri" Ah well, she still looks cute in this outfit, though that mostly has to do with that smile on her face."

*nemuri thought. Though Nemuri was not one to stare, she found her eyes glancing over the light curve of the sweater. She had seen more in the bathroom of the coffee shop, and although this sweater was cute, her mind kept bouncing back to the curves and layers she remembered underneath. Politely, though, she bounced her eyes back up to meet her eyes and recalled the name on the "found" posters.*

Nemuri: Hello, Inko. Lovely weather we're having today, don't you think?

Inko: Yes. It was such a nice sunny day. Sushi is loving it right now she's in a spot on the couch where a ray of sunshine is hitting her just right

*inko said with a small giggle, though in the back of her mind, she was a little sad that sushi had to go back to nemuri, but it was the right thing to do. So Inko smiled at her, taking a step back so nemuri could come in.*

Inko: Come on in, Sushi's on the couch right now. As I already said

Nemuri: Thank you.

*nemuri said politely, as she was led through the house, she noted how neat it was. Though Nemuri wasn't a slob, this looked like the living space of someone who had their life together.*

Nemuri" Meanwhile, aizawa and my house look like we're a couple of college students, with how little we take care of it. I'm pretty sure he has a dead plant on his coffee table."

*nemuri thought as she was led to the living room, Nemuri immediately dropped on her knees in front of the couch. There, sitting on the cushion without a care in the world, was her little sushi. *

Nemuri: Sushi! Darling! How could you scare me like that?

Sushi: meow

*sushi said in an uncaring tone, as she just tilted her head to acknowledge Nemuri's presence and purred as soon as Nemuri started frantically petting her to make sure she was really here and okay. She didn't get up, though, apparently perfectly content to make herself at home in this new woman's living space. Inko must have treated her well then. Inko smiled softly as she walked behind nemuri.*

Inko: She's very cute. My son enjoyed having her around for a little bit, really one of the few things we could agree on

*inko muttered the last part, so nemuri didn't hear it, just like inko didn't notice how nemuri flinched and froze when she heard that this adorable woman had a child, she glanced at her fingers, and felt a little hope when she didn't see a ring on those fingers of her.*

Nemuri: You have a son?

Inko: Yes, he's at school right now. He's into robotic. You should see what he can built, it's simply amazing

*inko said with a small but very proud smile on her face as she spoke about it. Of course, nemuri couldn't know it was izuku, seeing as he wasn't in her class. Though Inko had claimed to be old, Nemuri hadn't stopped to consider what exact stage of life she might be in. and, more importantly, the potential for a partner. But if she didn't have a ring on that finger, that must be a good sign, right?*
