Beast In The Woods

Tail? Tail!

"We are never to bring this up. Ever." Mina seriously said to the three boys after Izuku went off to do whatever her Mate does. "Pray that Izuku will forget about it because if he doesn't and brings it up then we are all royally fucked. Not Izuku because he is Izuku but US! Understood!" She hissed under her breath and made eye contact with each of them.

"Um..." Withering under the pink girl's glare, Kaminari went on. "Why wouldn't Izuku get in trouble?"

"Because he doesn't know what that was," Sero said in place of Mina. He was visibly exhausted from all the stress of the night.

"Who doesn't know what?" Jirou asked from the stairs to the girls' side of the dorms. She eyed all four of them and their disheveled looks. "The hell happened?"

"Crowds were so annoying! And it was boring, at least we're back." Mina stomped on Kaminari's foot and spoke over the blond.

Jirou raised an eyebrow and looked at each of them. "Uh-huh." She waited for the boys to disperse and then eyed Mina. She didn't have to wait for the unasked question to be answered.

Mina growled like her Mate unconsciously at the situation she was put in. "I have a favor to ask, no questions asked."

Jirou opened her mouth a few times before having to ask. "One question."

"Fine."

"How bad?"

Mina chewed on her lip and truly thought about it after the sheer panic subsided. "We'd get in trouble with UA but not expelled, probably."

Jirou grimaced and nodded. "What's the favor?"

"If you hear Izuku begin to talk about this night, change the subject. Make him forget it, it shouldn't be hard." Mina chuckled and ran her hand through her messy hair.

Nodding, Jirou agreed. "Easy enough, I'm making a sandwich. Want one?"

Meanwhile, Izuku greeted his Hounds and dropped off his bag of money. He opened it to see how much he had. He lost count after five million yen but he didn't care too much. He learned about economics and how to manage his money but Izuku never truly had to purchase anything. He had everything he ever needed at UA. So with a smile, Izuku tossed all the money into the bag and placed it in a cubby inside his den next to his extra furs in case someone wanted to sleep in his den. Climbing out of his home, he headed back to the dorms with his Hounds.

After getting some sleep, Izuku immediately went with his mother for breakfast. They frequently had breakfast together or at least a meal together throughout the day. The Hounds, getting big fast, followed Izuku to Nem's home on campus. He just knocked and walked inside with her in the kitchen turning to greet him with a smile. They sat together as the Hounds wandered the home and snacked on what the two gave them off their plates. He listened to her as she told him about her patrol and then it was Izuku's turn to tell her about his night.

Nem paused in chewing as she listened to Izuku talk about the place they went last night. Her eyes went from her plate of eggs to him and she saw the pure innocence that she loves very dearly about him. "Did the others like it too?" She probed.

Izuku nodded with a smile. "They did, but they were very worried about missing curfew the whole night. It all turned out well since we made it back!" He patted Daal's head on his lap.

Nem relaxed some after hearing that. She could already guess they didn't know where they were going until they were inside. She recalled all the adventures her group of friends went on during their time as students. The trio that now teaches in the very school they graduated from. She grinned at Izuku and then began to tell him about some of her stories about her years in UA. They finished breakfast and moved to the living room as they continued to talk. Izuku was at the feet of Nem as she brushed his ever-messy hair and told him about the time his teacher ran from the police for a dare. She would need to remember to tease the group that took her baby to a fighting ring. Making them sweat would be an appropriate punishment.
