Irregular updates my guy.
I have made a bonus side story! It's at the end of the chapter. Very hard to miss.
Weeks have passed after Inori's 'kidnapping' fiasco and the household has calmed down since then. It took about five 4 am parking lot fights with her three friends and one picnic with the Midoriyas.
'I don't fucking need your stupid doggy whistle, bitch.'
Inori glared at Queenie who was shoving another silver whistle to her face after she threw the previous ones out of the window.
'It's not a doggy whistle! It's my rape whistle!'
'That doesn't make that more appealing! I know you got spit in that!'
The two wrestles each other in the middle of the living room while Alfonso hands Izuku his pancake tower.
'we've got fruits and syrup over there if you wanted to put some of those. Here's the butter.'
Alfonso handed him a saucer with soft butter on it before turning back to the stove.
'You better eat lots, kid. Today is UA entrance exams.'
Mun-Hee grumbled as she sat beside Izuku, a coffee mug in one hand and a half-eaten pizza from last night's slumber party. It's the asscrack of dawn and once again, Alfonso oversees breakfast only because Inko took extra work hours last night and just got home a few hours ago. Queenie helped Izuku pack for the entrance exam earlier so right now, the only thing left to do is to go and meet All Might before going to UA. After eating of course.
'I'm off!'
'Do your best!'
The four chorused as he headed out. With his chin held up high and his stance wide and confident, he prepared himself for the day ahead of him. It's going to be a great day!
It's now noon and Inori is exploring the shopping district, several blocks away from university. Her phone buzzed with messages from Alfonso who was left inside the study hall to attend the rest of the class. Yes, Inori is cutting classes with Queenie and Mun-Hee but the three of them decided to spread out instead of sticking together. Just in case Alfonso decides to hunt them down after class.
Inori didn't expect to see a familiar face when she entered a cozy bookstore.
'Welcome- '
It was the crying propagandist from weeks ago. As the two of them dumbly stared at one another, the male's co-worker came out from the break room.
'If you got time to stare at chicks, then you've got time for extra hours.'
The co-worker said as he pushes a cart filled with books.
'N-no! I already told you! I have something to do later!'
The oddball cried out at his co-worker who ignored him.
'Argh! Listen to me!'
Yup, Alfonso was right. Cutting classes is indeed a bad idea. Inori nodded to herself as she slipped out of the bookstore, vowing to herself that she's not going to come back to that place anymore.
And so, Inori continued exploring the rest of the shopping district until sundown. With two bags of useless clutter, two paper bags of baked goods, and a container with a 12-inch cake roll that was on sale, Inori decided that it's time to go home. Well, she was supposed to go home if not for this dork who is currently blocking her way. It was the same guy from the bookstore, who is now wearing a jumpsuit version if his 'villain' outfit. That's a thing now huh. Weird.
'We meet again, gutsy civilian! It's me- '
She walked around him, determined to go home.
'Wha- hey! Don't just ignore me!'
She continued to walk, ignoring the noisy guy behind her.
'-tice me! Notice me! Senpai!'
Inori stopped walking. What the fuck did this creep just said? She turned around with a fierce glare. The male visibly gulped.
'The fuck did you just say to me?'
He was now trembling. His co-workers were scary but not this scary!
'AAH! I'm sorry! I just wanted to thank you for not letting the pro-heroes catch me and to apologize for the 'kidnaping' fiasco after that.'
Inori sighed and shook her head.
'I don't accept apologies through words. It's either cash or credit.'
The male paled at that.
'B-but I don't have much money! Most of it goes to my small apartment! Please! Don't rob me!'
He was crying hard as he kneeled in front of her.
'Fine then. I will accept labor.'
The man looked up and beamed at her as he stood up from his position.
'Okay! I will carry your stuff until you get to your house!'
He's overly enthusiastic, that's for sure.
Inori spent the rest of the way listening to the oddball complain about how his co-workers are abusing him, by making him do their shift for them but not getting the overtime pay for it and how his landlord is milking his money with unnecessary maintenances in the building.
'-honestly! They're nothing but money-grabbing assholes!'
And so, this continued until she's in front of the door to the Midoriya Household.
'We're here now. Thanks for carrying my stuff.'
Inori said as she grabbed her bags from the man who is once again beaming at her. Fucking weirdo.
'No problem!'
Inori dug around the baked goods bag before handing him a star-shaped Danish bread.
'Here.'
'…huh?'
'to energize you on the way to wherever you're going after this. Duh.'
Inori grumbled, redness blooming on her cheeks. This is just plain embarrassing! They look like shojo manga protagonists. The light blush on both of their faces face didn't help their case.
'T-thank you.'
He accepted the bread bashfully before running away, face as red as a tomato.
'Inorin…?'
Someone called out from behind. Inori turned around to see her aunt standing behind her. There is no way Inko didn't see that but Inori is going to remain hopeful on this one.
'Auntie! Look! I bought food!'
Inko ushered her inside and helped her put away the food.
'So, who was that nice young man, hm?'
Fuck.
'Oh, just some dude, no biggie auntie.'
Inko smiled at her fondly as the two of them sat down and drank tea.
'It's alright if you have a boyfriend. I wouldn't tell your mom, you know?'
Inori hid her face behind the cup.
'B-boyfriend?! Big sister Inorin has a boyfriend?!'
Great. Now Izuku heard.
'No Izu-bean, I don't. Here, have some.'
Inori handed the boy the basket filled with the baked good she bought.
'Her 'not boyfriend' helped her carry those! My, what a strong boy!'
Inko teased as Inori pouted.
'He's not my boyfriend! I don't even know his name!'
'Future boyfriend then?'
'No. Just- just no.'
It was a fun afternoon for the Midoriyas (at the expense of Inori) but the recent events had Inori thinking. Is her quirk getting dull? Why are all these embarrassing things happening to her? Isn't she supposed to be lucky?
'this is the total opposite of good luck!'
Bonus Round!
Mun-Hee is a part-timer!
After Inori's 'let's cram ourselves in a giant box to surprise my cousin' plan, Alfonso, Queenie, and Mun-Hee moved into an apartment near the Midoriya family. This isn't their first time to bunk in one place together, they've had sleepovers before. But this will be the first time they will pay and stay in a place together. The three of them have already set some rules like helping with the expenses, respecting each other's room privacy, and doing household chores. The only thing left to do is find a part-time job to help with the bills.
And so, Mun-Hee has been employed (part-time of course) at a nearby cat café for a week now. It's a little bit boring but talking to cats telepathically made each day bearable.
'-and then this biped asshat poked my ass hole! Can you believe it?!'
Cleopatra, a female American wirehair complained as she lounges on the giant cat condo, partially hidden away from the customers. She was pissed and no amount of high-grade tuna will appease her. She was harassed at work!
Mun-Hee nodded absentmindedly as she checks on the food and water dispensers at the edge of the 'on break' pen for cats.
'You should've scratched the fucker's face.'
Mun-Hee replied as she continued checking the dispensers.
'Oh, I would if those nutfucks didn't cut my claws off! Don't they understand that it hurts?!'
Cleopatra hissed; annoyance evident in her tail's movement.
'They're idiots.'
Mun-Hee replied. Cleopatra was about to reply when Glitters, a female Pixie-bob hopped in the pen.
'Hey y'all! What's poppin'?'
'My anger towards those fucking bipeds!'
Cleopatra hissed once more as Glitters climbed the cat condo Cleopatra was in to chat with her about the 'stupid bipeds' outside the pen while Mun-Hee finished cleaning the litter box. It was just a typical day at the cat café.
aaaaa not gonna lie, that bonus side story is long as shit. sorry 'bout that.
