Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ties

The next morning for Izuku, his third day with the League of Villains, marked several firsts for the teenager.

The first noticeable difference was the fact that he was not alone in bed when he woke up. Now normally this would not be unusual because Eri liked to cuddle- but Eri was also not almost as tall as him and she certainly did not have the...things pressing against his arm.

Izuku blinked his eyes wide open and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds as he tried to figure out what was on top of him. He quickly identified the object as some living thing due to the steady breathing, but couldn't understand why it was so...warm and smooth.

Slowly, his eyes slid down and he reddened immediately.

It was Himiko- of course it was Himiko, who the hell else?- and she had apparently decided not only to crash in his room, but to cuddle up practically on top of him under the blankets. She was still asleep and had her face smushed up against his shoulder, mouth open and the slightest bit of drool leaving the corner of her lips.

For once, she'd undone the buns on the side of her head and let her hair down. With her blonde hair splayed out in a mess over her face and his shoulder, Izuku gulped. Sh-she's cute. No, no, no, I can't think that! She's a villain! Well, I want to help her, but still...

She twitched slightly and rubbed her face against his bare shoulder, making a soft noise in the back of her throat. Izuku felt his whole body getting warmer. Dammit, she's cute! Can't she at least look like a villain?! Also, why the hell is she in my bed like this?!

"U-Um..." Izuku swallowed hard. "H-Himiko, c-can you wake up?"

The girl's nose scrunched up in a frown and her eyes opened into lazy slits "...huwah..."

"Pl-please, do you mind getting off of me?" He asked politely, praying she wouldn't notice his...teenager hormones getting the better of him. That would just be fun to deal with first thing in the morning.

Himiko whined, but then pulled away from him and lay on her belly, stretching her arms out in front of her and yawning like a cat. She slowly lifted herself to sit up and the covers fell away from her. She blinked at Izuku sleepily and he was ashamed to admit that, with her hair down in a messy sprawl around her face and those big, half-awake amber eyes, she'd officially gone from being cute to straight beautiful. "Morning..."

Izuku's eyes trailed down from her face for a moment. His vision was met by bare skin. A lot of it. Most of it, in fact, seeing as Himiko had apparently decided to crash in just her underwear.

He actually exploded.

"AAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Himiko plugged her ears with her fingers and whined. "You're loud..."

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NAKED?!" He screamed, pulled away from her and practically buried his face into his pillow to hide himself. The fabric legitimately started smoking from the sheer heat he was producing.

"Why...lemme think for a sec..." She yawned again and looked down at her mostly bare body, unashamed as she took her time to recall the night before. "Oh, right. You passed out from blood loss at some point and I was too lazy to go back to my room, so I decided to sleep here."

"THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!"

"I always sleep like this," Himiko seemed to be dozing in and out of consciousness. "It's comfy. Also, your body is really warm, so trying to sleep in clothes would've been too hot."

Izuku had a full body blush all the way down to his soul. What in the hell was with this girl?! Was he even a virgin anymore?! Would Katsuki murder him if he found out about this?!
