"I thought we agreed that you would stay inside. You know you could have at least had the decency to leave me a simple note explaining you were going to spend the day at the arcade!" Korosensei snapped angrily.

"H-How-" she had never mentioned where she had gone off to.

"After I realized you weren't home, I scowered the town for you. Then I saw this." Korosensei held out a cellphone with the image of Akiko practically destroying the test of strength game with Kayano cheering and Nagisa nervous facial expressions for the outcome of how this was going to end and Karma clearly the one who had taken the picture, taking a selfie with them in the background while displaying a peace sign.

"Karma sent this on the E-class chat. I was relieved to see that you were safe and sound but I was furious that you hadn't indicated that you were leaving the house at all when you said you weren't going to."

Akiko looked down to her feet. Her cheeks turning red, feeling both bad and embarrassed that she had upset him. Clearly she hadn't been thinking at the time but looking back on it now she felt as though she really should have.

"I'm sorry, Korosensei..."

Korosensei's natural yellow colour had returned as he cooled down. "You are forgiven. I suppose I shouldn't get too mad about the whole ordeal. At least you didn't run off to run away or anything. I shouldn't even be giving you this but I need you to alert me if and when you decide to leave the house on your own. You can even use it to communicate with me and your classmates if you're taken out of the E-class. I've already taken the liberty of inserting all thier phone numbers and contact information as well as my own." he handed her a brand new cellphone with a purple cover. Turning it on Akiko covered her mouth, trying her utmost to hold in her laughter. The wallpaper had been a picture of Korosensei with cat ears, attempting to pull a cute kissy face look, edited with assorted hearts, sparkle and octopus emojis.

"Th-Ank...heh... Ou.. S-So m-m-much..." Akiko quickly zipped past Korosensei into the bedroom shutting the door behind her, quickly dropping her prizes to the floor and shoving her face into a pillow, rolling on the floor with laughter. The pillow was meant to muffle her giggle fits but to no avail as Korosensei could still hear her inside, seeming quite confused as to what the laugheter had been about. He smiled anyway, she was back safe and sound. Which meant he wouldn't have to worry about Karasuma hating on him.

After laughing herself silly Akiko got up, stomach cramping from the giggle fit, looking at the wallpaper again but instead of laughing she proceeded to just smile. Feeling that if she was ever down, looking at this picture could always brighten her day. The girl got up, gathering her prizes, plopping them all down and cuddled the biggest plush she had. They were pleasing to have, they brought a bit more colour as well as a soothing atmosphere in the room. She was happy, even if she did get in trouble she learnt for next time.

Just on the other side of the window had been a spider but upon closer inspection one would be able to see that the spider was electronic. Its eyes sending live video feed of Akiko's activities.

At a distance away from the apartments, that same car had been parked along the road. Both men from earlier watching the video live through what looks to be a mini laptop. One of the men had a similar laptop which he had been working on.

"So she's staying with that monster from the assassination assignment. From the reports I've gathered thus far, he's been the hardest assassination target ever recorded in history."

"Yes, well that 'thing' is the government's problem. Our main objective is monitoring subject, XXZ." the man adjusted his glasses, keeping his eyes set on the video feed while his partner continued to research on Korosensei as so they know what they're up against ahead of time to know what they're up against.

"So why exactly is this little brat so important anyway?"

"Don't you ever read the subject reports? Subject XXZ was one out of the handful of subjects that survived testing. She was made to be a killing machine. She and a few others were going to be put into the final stage of testing in creating ultimate war machines but everything went south after the lab was found by government agents. So far we've managed to move and contain the other subjects but as soon as the lab was raided this one tried pulling the great escape, knocking everyone who got in her way down like rag dolls."

The partner looked up from his screen to the video feed of Akiko who appeared to be taking pictures of her plushies.

"Pffft... For a super soldier she seems like an easy target to me." with that comment the man groaned after getting back handed by his colleague. "What the hell?!Butch!!"

"Don't be ignorant, Franklin! She's smarter and stronger than you think. Compared to where she grew up this is paradise to her. So for now we let her enjoy her little vacation, till then we monitor for weaknesses." the man known as Butch continued to watch, seeing Korosensei walk into the room to bring Akiko a bowel of ice-cream. The man raised a brow at seeing the two interacting with one another. "Interesting..."

Back in the room Akiko had held her head in agony, rapidly rubbing her temples through gritted teeth.

"I told you to eat slower. Now look, you've given yourself a brain freeze." Korosensei mocked, baring a sly expression.

"How can something so sweet cause so much agony?!" Akiko moaned, the brain freeze she had experienced by spooning in large amounts of ice-cream in her mouth finally began to fade away. "Well that was new and...intense."

"Just eat slower my dear. You should be fine." he warned. Korosensei cleaned out his bowel almost immediately, the creature had noticed all the books Akiko had piled up on the desk. If not fantasy novels then history books to science to geology to things he doesn't even teach, even a beginner's guide to art book. Its interesting at how diverse this young girl was with her reading material. The octopus creature had assumed that she might be trying to catch up on current events of the world. Being locked away from it there was so little she experienced and now that she's free, its heartwarming to see her take everything in for the first time, to experience new things, new feelings new people. For that is what it means to live and to grow.

What path she'll take as she grows he may not know but it will be a journey he would be honored to be a part of as her teacher and to help guid her toward the stepping-stones of life till she's ready to leap out into the world on her own.

A light chuckle under his breath, he watched the girl finish the last of her creamy dessert, with a twinkle in her eye at the sweet flavours flooding her taste buds.

It was oh so cute...but he would keep this thoughts to himself.

After she was done he had collected her bowel and left as she prepped for bed. Akiko crawled into bed using her big plushie as a pillow. Korosensei had come returned with an extra blanket.

"Seems it's going to be a cold night, I'd hate for you to catch a cold." he through the extra blanket over but only up to her waist, incase she isn't feeling as cold.

"Koro?"

"Yes?"

"Why don't you just sleep here, it is your bed after all."

Korosensei smiled sheepishly at the thought. "N-No no no... You'd be uncomfortable. And I wouldn't want that."

Akiko raised a brow in confusion. "We slept together on the couch. And I wasn't uncomfortable there. What makes this any different? Besides you are quite warm. Sharing body heat is the best way to stay warm."

"Yes...well that was a different circumstance. You were upset that night and although that may be true I don't think me sharing a bed with my student would be so wise..."

Akiko stayed silent for a minute in thought. "Hm...Are you trying to uphold a form of professionalism of some sorts between us. Because even though you are my teacher you've showcased on many occasions an unprofessional and unprecedented behaviour. And I've slept with you before, I'm not seeing the issue now."

Korosensei turned a variety of dark pinks.

"Don't say it like that, without context that could be taken the wrong way..."

"Slept with initially means-"

"I'm well awrare of what you mean, Akiko! You are honestly going by the literal terminology, bless your innocent soul if I may add. But rather not fraze it in that manner. Especially to anyone in the E-class. Karasuma is already quite the sour prude towards me but he might not enjoy hearing such a thing, especially from the student who I, an educator offered my home to."

Akiko puffed up her cheeks, slightly annoyed and upset. She still wasn't exactly seeing the big issue with what she was saying and what she was asking.

"I still don't understand what you mean by that but fine. Obviously you don't enjoy my company." Akiko through the blankets over her head, fuming like a small child under the sheets. "Stupid octopus..."

Korosensei felt hurt by those words. Although it was a mix of hurt and light laughter at how articulate she could be but when angered her insults are that of a toddler's.

"Don't be like that...And believe me I enjoy your company very much. You're quite an interesting person. But fine...i-if you want... I will lay beside you just until till you fall asleep."

Akiko poked her head out from beneath the blanket, holding it just below her eyes. She nodded, accepting the compromise. In all honesty she just felt that she slept better if he was in the room with her. Korosensei sighed, still very pink. It was as if this girl was determined to make him flustered with embarrassment, to which if that were the case she had succeeded in doing so. He had come to realize that her social skills are quite...one sided in a way. She's not fazed by explicit things for example when she saw the CD box of what he had planned to watch also when he cornered her when she was naked, nor is she familiar with certain frazes used to describe certain situations. Her frazing of things would occasionally have a literal meaning to them but in social situations that would be taken the wrong way without context. Its not as if she was to blame for that, she hasn't been exposed to much of these social situations, which also seem to cause lack of boundaries.

Before laying down beside the girl, Korosensei had closed the curtain to the room, the camera spider quickly jumping off its perch to the ground.

Akiko shifted over, moving all the plushies to either the night stand or beside the bed to make space for Korosensei. She parted the blanket tapping the free space, playfully inviting the yellow octopus to lay beside her.

"You are truly a strange child, do you know that?"

"What do you mean? My mutations?"

"No, you're just quite the interesting odd ball of sorts." Korosensei replied and layed down beside her, a tentacle pulling the sheets over him. "Happy?"

Akiko turned to her side to face him and leaned closer, nuzzling her head into his chest which caused him to shiver lightly. "Yes, yes I am."

"The things I do for you~"

"I do appreciate it very much, Koro. Also Koro?"

"Yes?"

"I've been meaning to ask. Why are you pink?"

Korosensei flinched at the question, his face heating up more and more, he covered his face in shame, shaking his head not wanting to answer.

"I... Eh... I-I dont know!!" he lied.

"Why are you stuttering?"

"I am not!"

"Yes you are!"

"Well now I'm not gonna tell you!"

"So you do know!"

This went on for quite some time till they both just ended up laughing at the end of it. Korosensei noticed she was starting to get sleepy as she began to yawn more as well as attempting to rub the sleep from her one eye. Using a free tentacle he removed her eyepatch, dropping it on the nightstand on her end of the bed. Because Korosensei took up most of the space on the bed Akiko had to snuggle closer, practically on top of him. At this point he was more relaxed to be this close to her. Her natural scent wafted through his highly keen sensus till that was all he could smell. It was intoxicating as it was...somehow...somewhat intoxicating as you will. He nuzzled his chin upon her head taking it in, letting out a calming sigh. This was...

It was...

It was nice...to have this again.

But...

The octopus creature twitched upon Akiko's light movement to reposition for comfort. This broke the creatures peaceful state, which now in its place he felt both grim and disgusted with himself. Korosensei looked back to the girl who was now finally asleep. It was the perfect time to get up and leave. But...did he really want to. What was the harm in this? Like she had said earlier, he'd just be sleeping by her not, 'sleeping' with her. Korosensei chuckled lightly to himself, realising he ought to give her right of mind of the context in which she'd use her words in a social environment.

It was just for now. Just for tonight. Right now, she might be getting better but she's still not in a good place and she needs him now more than ever. She needs everyone.

At that moment the spider cam scattered off into a hiding place. The two men had seen all that they needed for now. Their target was quite close to her mentor, information worth keeping toward there planning.

"Disgusting..." Franklin muttered under his breath. His partner chuckled lightly. "Each to their own I suppose." Butch commented. "This could prove useful." Butch rewinded back to just before they had moved the spider camera, pausing to where the two are laying together. Butch had a large toothy unsettling smile. Even his partner Franklin felt uncomfortable to be cooped up in such as small space with him, especially when he starts pulling creepy faces like that.

The next day, Korosensei woke up much earlier than he usually would, Akiko scent still lingering in his senses. Looking down at the blankets which covered his chest as well as the pressed down weight she crawled on top of him while he slept, similar to when they slept on the couch. A free tentacle raised the sheet to find her still fast asleep. Akiko seemed so peaceful like this. He didn't want to wake her up. Korosensei had thought to just let her continue to sleep on his chest... That was till he just realized something...

He squeaked quite loudly surprise and yet again...embaressment. He wasn't wearing his cardigan and his shirt was unbuttoned to which Akiko had been nuzzled into his bare squishy chest. One of her hands had been on the inner section of which the shirt still covered him while her other hand had been wrapped tightly around his loosened tie and his gown had been pulled past his shoulders.

The noise he had made had startled the girl awake to which she had proceeded to slap him without thinking as a response. Akiko was up straight, eyes still shut but her brow was furrowed which revealed her anger.

"Stupid noisey octopus!" she spat out. The first eye to open being her cat eye. Her gaze pierced him. At the angle he had seen this at...she was a fiesty kinda cute to the creature who was now just lost in the cold gaze of the cat eye. As if she was the cat peering down at her next meal and he nothing more than her helpless prey; not that he was scared of her, far from it in fact.

"G-Good morning, Akiko..."

The girls other eye opened, adjusting to the still dim light of the room. Akiko was angry to be woken up in this manner but that anger dispersed. The girl realised her Sensei was just staring at her with a gaze in which...the young girl could not describe. Was this in awe? Fear? Perhaps surprise...?

The girl pondered and the two continued to lock eyes. Akiko's exprision was no longer mad but was just lost in her thoughts. The girls head felt foggy and not just cause she was still tired. What was this? It felt unnatural and to to her that was saying a lot.

"Erm... Sensei?" Akiko broke the silence.

Korosensei blinked a few times before quickly jumping out from under her to the other side of the room, back to being embarrassed once more. Akiko fell onto the mattress, letting out a small squeak of her own from surprise. She quickly sat up again turning to her red teacher who was now banging his head into the wall. Not as if it was doing anything since he's super soft. It was like watching a marshmallow getting pressed down constantly and proceeding to retain its shape again. The girl was even more confused now. Watching her Sensei scowled himself was truly a sight to behold.

"Koro... What's wrong? Koro?!"

Korosensei stopped. Sweating with guilt and shame.

"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?!!! I AM YOUR SENSEI AKIKO!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT WAS JUST WRONG!!! IF ANYONE WERE TO SEE THAT I WOULD NOT OF JUST BEEN FIRED BUT I'D NEVER BE TRUSTED WITH YOU AGAIN AND LETS NOT FORGET!!!! I SAID I WAS GOING TO LEAVE AFTER YOU SLEPT AND I DIDN'T!!!! SUCH SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR!!! WHAT KIND OF EDUCATOR AM I???!!!! A SHAMEFUL ONE THATS WHAT KIND!!!! AND NOT TO MENT-"

"Hck..."

The creatures rant of self-loathing drew to

an immediate halt. His colour returning back to his original yellow. He turned back to the girl. He face wet as the tears came quickly rolling down. She herself didn't know what was wrong but she felt as though she had been the main cause of his outburst. And it stung her deeply... He told her last night he didn't want to sleep by her and she pushed him...

"I'm sorry... It was my fault..." she muttered out. Lowering her head onto the bed.

"I won't make you lay by me again... It seems I crossed a line without realizing it... I shouldn't have made you. I apologize!" she cried out. Quickly her head was lifted up but two tentacle-like hands on both sides of her cheeks lifting her up to look at him. Another tentacle holding a handkerchief proceeded to dab her wet eyes.

"No no... This wasn't your fault... I'm the one who didn't leave like i said I would. I'm the one whose at fault. Do not blame yourself." He assured here.

"I-I'm sorry... It's j-just that you being here helped me sleep better. I didn't feel like I was alone..." even though Korosensei proceeded to console her and telling her it wasn't her fault she continued to blame herself. Cursing herself in her head. She wished she hadn't of pushed him last night. Clearly he was uncomfortable but she only thought of herself. She felt as though she was just taking advantage of his kinds nature.

"I may have just overreact a tad..." Korosensei noted in a sheepish manner. "I am quite the impish yet eccentric of sorts. I apologise if I put you in such distress. This isn't at all your fault. I am your teacher and I should know better. Besides I honestly don't mind sleeping beside you if it means I'm helping you. That's what I'm here for. To help. To help all of my students. And you are one of them." he ran his hand from her cheek through her now curled up hair. Seems all her curls settled back into place, it was still cute. He would straighten it another time if she so wished.

The girl smiled at him, but that face wasn't fooling him he knew she still felt bad for what just happened. Korosensei began to neaten himself up and lifted her off the bed.

"Come, let go have some breakfast." he'd have to be careful as to what he does around her. He took full responsibility for what had happened but he needs to get her the help she deserves and needs. For now he'll monitor her.

A/n: sorry this took so long to do school has been hectic. Hope you all enjoy.
