NeoGamer93: I believe he's playing dumb so everyone will feel more relaxed around him and he's feeding information to the villains.
Anyway, I stepped away for a bit because I was hitting a wall on this chapter, not going to make it into a lemon if people were wondering, it's too early for that, even though this will be the eighth chapter, I still believe it's too early in their friendship/relationship for that, but because I needed time to think about how to approach the chapter in general. Enjoy.
Inko stepped into the living room and saw the trio of heroes lying on the floor, Mina's head resting on Izuku's right shoulder and Tsuyu's head resting on his left, their arms wrapped around his torso and Izuku's arms around them as the three of them slept. Inko slightly smiled before grabbing the cover off the couch and walked over to the three and draped the cover over them. Turning around, she began walking towards the kitchen as she continued to smile, "I'm glad that they're all okay and that they're looking out for each other, but I'm a little disappointed that Izuku doesn't want to go back to school for a while, but that was a decision the three of them have made together and all us parents can do is support them," she stepped into the kitchen and began making herself some tea.
Izuku moaned as he slowly opened his eyes, "What happened?" he looked down and his eyes widened as he saw Tsuyu and Mina lying on top of him, still sleeping, "How did this happen?" hearing the two moan, he looked down at them again to see them lightly stir before they slowly open their eyes.
The two looked up and Mina gave a tired smile, "You know you make a good pillow, Izuku," she yawned as she nuzzled closer to him and closed her eyes again, "Just give me five more minutes,"
"And why the hell aren't you freaking out?"
"It's too early for that," Tsuyu croaked as she sat up, "Ribbit…and besides, nothing happened last night, so why would we freak out?" Izuku sighed as he sat up and Mina moaned and pouted as she opened her eyes again and sat up as well, "So…now you know, Izuku,"
Izuku hummed as Mina yawned and stretched, "Okay, so now that we all know nothing happened last night, what now?"
"How about I treat you two to some breakfast and we'll figure out where to go from there," Izuku suggested as he stood up and stretched and Tsuyu and Mina nodded before they mirrored his actions.

The students sat in the cafeteria, eating their breakfast and talking to one another. Ochako frowned as she looked down at her phone, "They're not going to call or answer a call from any of us," Ochako looked up and saw Momo, Kyoka and Tooru sitting down at the table before Momo sighed and shook her head, "If they are alive, they're not going to want to talk to anyone of us because many of us just assumed the they were dead an-"
"I didn't!"
"And they don't know that," Kyoka sighed as she crossed arms and narrowed her eyes, "If they are alive then all they know is that a villain wanted to kill them, they were buried alive and no one bothered to look for them…the three of them are probably hurting," Ochako frowned as she looked down at her phone, "Like I said, we'll go to the teachers, have them search for them and if they are alive, they can try and convince them to come back to school,"
"Deku…called us unwanted company last night, so I doubt that would even work," Ochako looked up and let out a shaky breath, "They're not just hurting, they're angry…who would call their own friends unwanted company like that? We're heroes, damnit,"
"But no one can be sure on how they're feeling right now," Tooru spoke and Ochako looked towards the invisible hero, "Like Kyoka said, they were buried alive and we just wrote them off as dead. If they are alive, they might want to be alone to clear their heads before coming back to school,"
"Why do you three keep saying if they are alive?" Ochako frowned and shook her head, "I'm telling you I saw them last night…Kyoka, you were talking like you believed me an-"
"And thinking about it, they might be alive, or you believe that they're alive and you thought you saw them last night," Kyoka leaned back, "You're the only one who saw them last night, even the villains refused to talk, but that should surprise anyone, and after we kicked their butts, they ran off like a bunch of cowards, not surprising." Ochako narrowed her eyes slightly as her gaze fell.

The trio walked down the street, people walking past them and cars driving by, as the three talked to each other. Coming to a familiar street, the three stopped and looked at the pile of rubble still covered the crater and they narrowed their eyes, "Bastards," Tsuyu and Izuku looked at the usually bubbly girl as Mina shook her head, "Even if we did die, why wouldn't they do a search and rescue or a search and recover? Do they hate us that much that they're willing to let us rot in the hellhole?"
"Maybe the one who did it convinced the others that the attack had killed us while they were fighting the villains, ribbit," Tsuyu croaked and the two looked at her, "Maybe the fight carried out longer than they had thought and they just thought we died down there,"
"Maybe," Izuku sighed as he crossed his arms and glared at the mess in the middle fo the street, "But why the hell haven't they started clean up? It's been an entire day and a half. The city is usually quick to clean up messes like this," Tsuyu and Mina slightly frowned as they slowly shook their heads, "Anyway…let's go," Mina and Tsuyu looked up as Izuku turned and began walking away, "Being here is making me depressed and I don't want to ruin such a nice day because of something that happened the other night," Tsuyu and Mina hummed and nodded as they began following Izuku.
Izuku opened the door to a café at the end of the block and allowed Tsuyu and Mina to step inside before he followed them. Sitting down at a table, the three picked up the menus and began talking to one another. A waitress soon walked up to them and gave them a small smile, "Good morning, can I start you three off with something to drink?" after giving her their order, the three watched as the waitress turned and walked away from the table.
Mina sighed as Tsuyu and Izuku looked at her and she shook her head, "What are we going to do?" the two hummed in confusion, "Ochako saw us last night and who knows who else saw us. We're trying to avoid them until the time is right and having been seen by Ochako…it might not end well. And what was Kaminari doing out that late on his own?"
"It's only been thirty-six hours since we've been declared dead by the heroes," Izuku took a deep breath as he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, "We'll just have be more careful while we're patrolling at night, but I brought you two here to treat you to breakfast, not talk about being seen by Uraraka last night or why Kaminari was out that late," the two slightly smiled as they nodded and the three of them continued to talk to each other.

The students of 1-A through an obstacle course while Shouta watched from the distance. Seeing Ochako slow down as she hung her head, Shouta hummed and narrowed his tired eyes, "Uraraka has been distracted since Ashido, Asui and Midoriya have been declared dead after that mission. She needs to understand that, not as heroes, but as humans, we all have limitations to what we can do. It's a tragic accident what happened to those three, but this is the life they chose to live, and everyone is aware of what happens to heroes and villains on a daily basis,"
He inhaled slowly as he shook his head, "They've witnessed it when Nighteye passed. As heroes, we put our lives on the line every day to protect the world and the citizens from those who want to use their Quirks for destruction and murder." Looking down at his watch, he hummed, "I'll give them twenty more minutes, and then I'll talk to Uraraka," he looked back up and watched as his class continued to run the obstacle course.

The trio sat on a bench in the park and watched as people walked around, laughing and enjoying each other's company. Mina stretched as she leaned back and stared up at the blue sky and felt the warmth of the sun hit her face, "This is nice," Tsuyu and Izuku looked at her as Mina smiled, "We don't have to worry about schoolwork, homework, getting yelled at by Mr. Aizawa or go through hell to train. We will train, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying ourselves during the day,"
"We do have to train," Izuku sighed as the two looked at him, "Not right now, but if we don't keep up with our training, we'll end up growing weak and the villains will kill us when they get the chance,"
"Izuku's right," Tsuyu croaked as she leaned back, "Ribbit…there's nothing wrong with us enjoying a little freedom, but we won't be able to do this every day. We'll end up weak and the villains will walk all over us…besides, we want to prove to everyone at school that we're going to be the strongest trio of heroes ever, especially since they've left us for dead," Mina hummed and nodded as Izuku smirked and reached up and patted the top of Tsuyu's head.
Tsuyu croaked as she looked at him with wide eyes, "Izuku?"
"What?" Izuku shook his head as Tsuyu looked away and Mina smiled.
Well…this story is back. Enjoy.
