The girls dorms get a tour and the first winner of the room decorating contest is announced. Suri is drawn to the UA grounds and makes a discovery that could make a big difference. But first Mina.

"What the hell was that poster doing in my room," Suri whisper-screamed into the phone.

Meanwhile she briefly peered into and marveled at Jirou's room and now saw why she and Dante had gotten along with each other so well. Her mom, Alexis, would have been in awe as well. She had called Hunter after the discovery of her Ragdoll poster, somewhere between embarrassed beyond belief and furious that she hadn't been warned.

"Hehe, umm.. Well," her little brother chuckled nervously and thought of something to say. "So… I was going to steal it and put it in my room. Ya know, like you passed it down to me or something but… Dad wouldn't let me. Said I was too young for that kind of thing."

"And you brought it here?" Suri exclaimed.

"Mom knew I had it. And I put it up before I came outside. She was setting up your altar and laughed when I hung it up. So… I thought it was a good idea," he replied sheepishly.

Of course mom had okayed it.

Suri sighed and closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose as she calmed down enough to continue speaking and not whisper scream into the receiver. The group had now moved to Ochako's rooms and Suri let her mind clear as she took in all of the space and NASA themed posters and decorations. It had never occurred to her that the gravity girl had an interest in space but now that she had thought about it, Ochako's hero costume had a very futuristic space suit kind of feel to it.

"Yeah, you're right," Suri said calmly. "Mom would be all for it being in my room here. I just… I wasn't expecting all of my classmates being the first ones to see it, ya know? I could have warned them that it was there before we all started taking tours of everyone's rooms."

"Your classmates saw it?" Hunter snorted and began laughing on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Munchkin," Suri sighed and shook her head. "Anyway, I gotta head out. Gotta finish the tour."

"All right. And sorry I didn't warn ya but you gotta admit that's too fuckin funny," the younger boy snickered and Suri could picture the massive grin on his face. He then sighed and calmed down enough to keep speaking. "Anyway, have a good night."

"You too."

"Hey sis," he said quickly, making sure Suri didn't hang up.

"Yeah?"

"Love you."

Suri smiled wide, getting that happy fluttering feeling in her chest as she took a deep breath and sighed happily.

"Love you too, Munchkin."

With that the call ended and Suri was staring directly at Tooru as they toured her room. She was happy and felt wonderful. Happier than she had in a long time. Not to say that she hadn't been extremely happy dating Tooru and Mina. Because the two of them had had her in the highest of spirits ever since the three of them became friends and then lovers. Happy still when they added Izuku to that mix and she happily leaned into his touch because he had come up behind her and cupped his hand on her shoulder. He checked on her and it earned him a big, loving smile from the beast girl. She shoved her phone back to where she normally carried it - trapped snugly between her breast and her bra strap - and turned her gaze towards the greenette. He gave her a worrying glance that was mixed with a hint of humor.

"So the poster was his bright idea," Suri chuckled, moving her hand to cup his on her shoulder. Her mind happily replayed the feel of his touch on her last night and she shivered happily and bit her lip.

Gods she wanted to have him roll her up like that again.

No! Down Suri!

"Hehe y-you know, if I had a poster like that," he smiled and turned so that he could explore his invisible girlfriend's room. "It makes sense why you were so nervous around her at camp."

"At least someone shares my pain," Suri chuckled.

She then grinned wide as Tooru began smacking the hell out of Mineta and chased him out of her room. She was pissed at the gremlin for whatever he had done, but knowing him it was probably something stupid. With her chasing him out, it was the end of the tour of her room. To which, Izuku was slightly sad because he hadn't gotten as long of a look as he'd wanted. All three of his girlfriends picked up on it and it was the room's owner herself who squashed that sadness in him. Tooru happily laid herself into Izuku's side, wrapping her arms around his right and leaned up on tip toes to whisper into his ear loud enough for just the four of them.

"Don't worry, cutie, you'll see my room plenty. I can give you your own tour later if you want."

Izuku flustered and blushed wildly at the offer before rapidly nodding his response. A muffled squeak was all he offered, not trusting his voice to be louder than needed. What was funny was that Tooru kissing his cheek actually seemed to calm him down and his nerves fluttered away slowly. He went from that adorable spastic ball of nerves and jitteryness to the warm, caring, and gentle boy. The side of him that made Tooru swoon every single time. That swooning led to her having a wide cheshire grin on her face, one that only Suri could see, staring up at Izuku.

As Mina led everyone into her room, showing them around the vividly decorated space, Tooru held Izuku back for a moment and softly pushed him against the wall. Suri grinned wide as she slipped into the room behind everyone. Her last sight before going through the door being Tooru pressed tight against their boyfriend, their lips softly melding over each other's for a brief happy moment alone together. It made Suri giggle at the thought that a tour of her room might not be the only thing planned for tonight if the invisible girl got her wish. Which was perfectly fine with Suri because if they planned on spending the night together, she would happily sweep up the pinkette happily dancing around in front of her.

"Isn't that the alien from that one movie?" Ochako asked, leaning over the bed and picking up the xenomorph stuffie.

"Yup! That's Xeno," Mina happily cheered, watching Ochako squeeze the plush toy tightly.

"Weren't you trying to name yourself after it when we picked hero names?" Kaminari asked.

"Yes! But Miss Midnight wouldn't let me because she hates the Alien franchise, or maybe she just hates the queen," Mina shrugged. "I guess she's not a fan of sci-fi or horror movies."

"So, do all girls sleep with stuffed animals or something?" Mineta asked. "Why do you like them all so much? I mean I'm about the same size, you could sleep with me."

Every girl paled at the thought of that.

"Momo, can you whip up some duct tape?" Suri asked as she turned to the taller girl.

Momo looked at Suri, understood what she asked for and why, and an elegant, yet evil smile curled over her lips. She then turned back to Mineta, hand on her hip with that same look in her eyes as she towered over him.

"Shouldn't be too difficult to create, I suppose," Momo said with a sing-song voice that didn't match the look in her eyes.

Mineta squealed and ran out the door and up the flight of stairs to the next level. Needless to say, all of the girls laughed and giggled at the display. Suri couldn't help but let a smirk cross her lips as she saw Jirou look up into that sweet and yet menacing look in Momo's eyes and turn a shade of pink from the blush that ran over her. It made the beast girl do a double take on their resident heiress because suddenly the thought of Momo being a firm top was a very intriguing idea to be had.

It gave Suri a small insight into what Jirou and Momo's bedroom life might be like. She sort of wished she could be a fly on the wall because trying to imagine the elegant, sometimes soft spoken Yaomomo as more than just the big sister of 1-A and more mommy dommy? Now Suri was looking forward to seeing Momo's room and hoping to find some secrets like what had popped up in Suri's room.

Speaking of which.

"So I should warn you," Momo said as she made her way to her door and nervously held the handle. "I um… I overestimated the size of the room. So…"

The door opened and everyone was shocked to see the other side. The far wall was lined end to end with bookshelves, an amount that rivaled Iida's, but the mass of the dorm room was spent on one thing. In the middle of the room - because it took up nearly the entire room alone - was a giant four poster bed complete with sheer drapes hanging from the canopy. It made Suri freeze because she was used to sleeping on a king sized bed and this was easily doubled. Was there such a thing as a double king sized bed? Because if so, this was probably it. Honestly, the girl was lucky that anything else fit inside her room.

"It's a tad cramped," Momo said shyly after a long moment.

"It's so cramped! You barely have walking space," Kaminari said, shocked as he peered in and was flabbergasted by what he saw. He then turned to look up to Momo who was idly running her fingers through her hair in a nervous gesture. "What happened?"

"It's… all the furniture I've always used at home. I didn't think we'd be so limited on space," she replied innocently. She looked downright embarrassed. "Honestly, I'm very grateful for the help I was able to receive from Kuroyashi's family. It would have taken a lot longer than it did."

No wonder Suri's moms had been so flustered.

"All right," Mina said with a grin. "Last up is Tsu's room!"

"Oh um," Ochako said, scratching the back of her head nervously and not meeting anyone's eyes. "Tsu's not really feeling well and went to bed already."

"Ah well that sucks," Kaminari said, putting a hand on his hip and looking at Ochako with concern. "Hope she feels better soon."

Suri eyed Ochako cautiously, noticing her movements and body language. Let alone being able to scent the nervousness that surrounded her more and more. Ochako was lying but was trying carefully not to show it or let on.

"Yeah," Suri smiled, giving Ochako a careful glance. "Hopefully she feels better in the morning. Honestly, I bet her room is cute as fuck but we should probably let her sleep."

"If that's all the rooms," Mina said with a wide grin. "Let's go vote!"

Once everyone made it back downstairs to the common room, Tooru managed to find a small box and Iida provided notebook paper to be passed out. He, of course, meticulously ripped each piece into perfect, even strips for everyone. The rules stated that you couldn't vote for yourself and as Suri thought about it, she decided she probably shouldn't vote for any of her lovers. It would be biased on her part. She asked everyone if they viewed it as biased and they had said no but Suri still didn't feel right throwing a vote at Izuku, Mina, or Tooru. She thought about her picks and it came down to a three way tie. She grumbled loudly, closed her eyes and, without thinking, let her hand do the work and write down her answer. Without even looking at the answer she tossed it into the box and waited for Mina to count out the votes.

"And the winner of the first annual King of Dorms is!"

Mina shouted before holding up a slip of paper and presenting it proudly in front of everyone. Suri chuckled softly because she recognized her own handwriting on the slip.

"Koji Koda!"

The reason he'd won? His pet bunny had been a big hit among the girls.

As everyone congratulated him on the win - Kaminari and Mineta teased him for bribing the girls with small cute animals - the class turned to head for the stairs while Kirishima began leading Shiozaki towards the door to walk her back to her dormitory. Everyone was relatively or positively tired by now and they just wanted sleep. Before everyone could leave however, Ochako rushed forward and stopped a handful of the group.

"Todoroki, hold on. You too, Deku, Iida, oh and, Kirishima and Yaoyorozu. Oh and Kuroyashi. Can you guys come with me real quick?"

The group of students she'd called looked from one to the other, all slightly concerned and completely confused. It was Suri that shrugged and followed Ochako first, with the group plus Mina, Tooru, and Shiozaki trailing just behind them. When they got outside, they found Tsu standing on the lawn waiting for them.

"So… Tsu has something to say," Ochako said nervously as everyone lined up in front of her girlfriend to listen to her.

"I don't usually hold my tongue but sometimes I find myself at a loss for words," Tsu started, not meeting anyone's eyes. "Remember what I said at the hospital? That if we break the law, we're no better than the villains? I didn't hold back then and it came out a little harsh. So when I heard this morning that you went anyways, or in Kuroyashi's case, would have, it… I-I was shocked. And It made me feel worthless that I couldn't stop you guys from going. And when you add in everything that I heard and felt after everything that happened with Kuroyashi. It made me feel even worse."

Tsu looked up then and everyone saw the tears beginning to well in her eyes.

"I had no idea what to say or feel anymore and I couldn't go on chatting like nothing happened. And it broke my heart. So now," she began fidgeting nervously. "Even if I'm not sure about everything, I had to say something because I want to be able to go back to normal and hang out with everyone again."

"Tsu, it's not just you," Ochako said, reaching her arms around the frog girl's shoulders and holding her close.

"No, it's not," Suri said softly and walked towards Tsu. She held her hands out and waited a moment before Tsu finally took the beast girl's hands in hers. "If I'm being honest, I think we're all still uneasy about everything. We all want to go back to how things were before, right?"

"That's why we do stuff like the King of Dorms," Mina added, smiling softly at the small group.

"Because we know how everyone's feeling." Ochako continued. "Which is why we're not gonna get mad. I know it's probably hard to explain but… we just wanna go back to when we could all laugh and smile together."

"Tsu," Kirishima spoke up, tears welling in his own eyes as he rushed up towards the frog girl and hugged her tight. "I'm so sorry! Thank you for opening up!"

"Tsu," Suri said, smiling softly as Tsu began to weep, finally letting out all of the pressure that had been built up inside her. "I promise to be a better class rep and a better friend. No more secrets okay?"

"Ribbit!"

As Tsu and everyone began to sob or tear up, the entire group collapsed around the frog girl, pulling her in and holding her close as they all let out their feelings and emotions. They cradled and vented to each other for several long minutes before one by one everyone started to break from the group. Todoroki, unsure of how to deal with the sudden emotions poured around him, scratched his head nervously and excused himself off to bed. Only Suri and Izuku seemed to notice the minute tears in the corner of his eyes even though his face showed no expression of being close to tears. Iida and Momo soon followed behind him a moment later followed by Kirishima and Shiozaki heading towards the 1-B dorms hand in hand.

Suri thought about heading to her room but she turned back to look outwards on the grounds surrounding the dorms and campus. She felt a pull, wanting her to run and spend the night in the wild, wanting to explore. She remembered the note from Principal Nezu and took in a deep breath of the night air, her skin rising in goosebumps as she took in the wonderful scent and a faint hint of magic in the air. She looked back down at her friends and lovers in front of her and then she remembered Gemini and her hands curled into fists. Looking over Izuku, Mina, and Tooru, her heart thudded just being in their presence. It was a feeling she felt the need to protect and preserve. Then she looked to Tsu and Ochako, her friends, and the protective urge surged even harder. So much so that her power leaked out and washed the group in the electric warmth of her and Atiena's shared energy.

"Suri?" Izuku asked quietly.

All eyes turned on her and she watched the shiver of electricity run up everyone's backs as they took notice of the soft breeze of power. Moreover, it made Tooru gasp and shiver more than anyone. It meant that Suri was more powerful now. But was she powerful enough? Was this boost enough to take on Gemini and win one on one?

"No more secrets," she whispered to herself and sighed. "I'm going to be up a little late guys. I… You know the note we got from Principal Nezu this morning? There was a line in there that applied to me specifically and… I need to investigate a hunch. It means I've got to do some roaming around the woods."

"Come to think of it. There was a line that didn't make sense to me at all," Tsu said, curiously pressing her finger to her lip in her usual thinking gesture.

"You mean what you were saying about the ley lines? You really wanna go searching for a place of power tonight?" Mina questioned.

"Place of power? Ley lines?" Ochako asked curiously.

"I know ley lines carry magnetic currents. I researched them when I was younger because I was told you could follow them to water and… well with my Quirk being Frog," Tsu added.

Yeah. That totally made sense.

"Ley lines are more than just magnetic fields, they carry and circulate magic. Real, natural magic," Suri replied, her eyes looking out from the group and into the forests. "When our clans have Lupanars, we congregate at our Place of Power. It's basically a holy place for us where we celebrate our power and energy, our gods, and our beasts. It's a home base for us overseen by a clan's king or queen. Like, at home we have legit thrones made of stone and wood."

"But why do you need to go tonight?" Tooru asked. Ochako looked like she was about to ask the very same question. All of them looked at Suri with worry and confusion in their eyes.

"Because the sooner I establish a power base here on campus, the stronger I can become," Suri clenched her fist and looked down at it with determination burning in her eyes. "Right now, I'm weak. I barely survived facing Gemini and it put everyone in danger."

Suri growled as she thought about the werehyena and balled both of her fists tight and clenched her eyes shut as she dipped her head low. The memories and the events surrounding the last few weeks made her anger flare. One of her friends was about to say something when Suri continued, cutting them off even though she didn't necessarily mean to.

"I made a vow to myself that I would protect you. All of you. Tooru gave me the title of queen and by the gods I want to live up to that title. You see, in our culture, the titles are more than just a fancy word you call yourself. They carry weight and power. Right now, my title of queen means the world to me because of who gave it to me. But I'm queen to more than just my mates," Suri smiled softly at using the M word, barely able to hide the blush tinging her cheeks as she said it and looked into their eyes. "I laid claim to everyone in our class from almost day one. I have to be stronger to protect my claims and to do that, I need a place of power."

"You're pretty strong already aren't you?" Tsu asked.

"Yeah. I am," Suri shrugged. "I know what kind of potential I have in the long run but I need to achieve more of that potential here and now. If I don't..."

"I get it," Izuku said quietly, looking down at the ground with a determined glare while his fists began to clench as well. "I'm the same way. I have so much power coursing through me that I don't know how to control it all. My body can't handle the full output so I've been working it up little by little. But…"

He paused for a long moment.

"You and I both can only do so much right now," he finally said, breaking the silence that had begun to build. He smiled lovingly and she had to resist the urge to go to him and touch him. "And you'll get there."

"I know I will," Suri answered back with a smile of her own. "But for right now... I'm thinking of others like Gemini that might come looking for a fight. I'm not just wanting to be this big powerful wolpard, I want to put up a big metaphysical banner above UA that says Suri Kuroyashi is queen here. She and her clan are a bunch of motherfuckers you do not want to fuck with. Sorta, make them think twice, ya know what I mean?"

"So… like a giant Beware of Dog sign?" Ochako asked with a smile.

"Exactly!" Suri chuckled. She smiled for a long moment and then turned her eyes to look up at their dorm building, seeing lights turn off one by one. Suri sighed then and turned her focus back to the group. "Babes, why don't you go up and get some sleep. I can sneak into whoever's room y'all are sleeping in."

She gave her loves a sly grin and wink then. It made Izuku blush and Tooru and Mina giggle.

"And I'll see you two in the morning, yeah?" Suri added, smiling softly at Tsu and Ochako.

"Of course!" the two girls answered in unison.

"All right then," Suri smiled and came to her trio of mates, softly kissing each of their lips one after the other. "I'll be back in an hour or two. Love you."

Before anyone could protest, Suri turned and took off in a blur of speed towards the tree line and into the unexplored woods surrounding UA. Hers and Atiena's new home and hunting grounds for the foreseeable future.

The soon to be magical and spiritual source of her untapped potential power.

Suri hadn't ran the entire time since leaving the group of Tooru, Mina, Izuku, Ochako, and Tsu.

No.

She had literally taken off in a blur towards the treeline and then almost instantly slowed to a brisk power walk. Knowing her mates, they would have gone back and forth for another hour or two alone about how she should be going to bed with them. And really that was a fantastic idea. She so wanted to be in the middle of a cuddle pile with the three of them, to have their bare skin wrapped around hers in a blanket of love and warmth. To feel the softness of Mina or Tooru against her front with the hard line of Izuku…

Suri, no!

Down girl. Down!

She batted at the air and her lewd thoughts of her mates and tried focusing again. She scented the air and let her hands come back down to her sides. Her fingers danced on the gentle breeze of power flowing around her and then she marched forward through the trees and let her nose lead the way. She stepped through and over the brush, her hands grazing and dancing her fingertips along the trees that she passed. That familiar feeling and scent grew stronger and stronger as she made her way forward and she could physically feel that she had begun walking directly along a ley line for some time now. It was making Atiena stir and stretch towards the surface and she had a mental vision of herself and the giant creature inside her padding along in unison.

"The power is getting stronger," Atiena said softly as they walked together.

"Like the clearing back at the Pussycat's mountain," Suri agreed. "But it feels like somewhere else too."

"The grove," Atiena nodded.

Suri chuckled as she stepped through one last line of trees and into a wide clearing. A perfect view of the sky directly above the space that was a dozen meters wide in diameter. The amount of energy that radiated through the tall grass made Suri nearly buckle over from the pressure and feel of it all. The power danced and caressed along Suri's skin and prickled its way across every inch of her in ways that made her core begin to heat up and wind tightly. It was impossible to suppress the shuddering moan that leapt from her throat as she collapsed onto all fours. The beast girl panted and growled in frustration because, as much as she wanted to take care of that itch that was beginning to swell inside her, she had to focus.

The quickest way to focus?

She bit the inside of her bottom lip. Hard.

Blood began trickling onto her tongue, tasting the sweet coppery flavor of it as it lazily made its way down her throat and took all of the pressure off her desires. She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the night air and power around her and once she had steeled herself, she stopped biting the inside of her lip. The blood, even though miniscule in amount, managed to stave off one hunger for another and it allowed her to refocus. When she did, her eyes grew wider as she found where she had come to rest.

Suri got back onto her feet and went forward those few last steps towards the end of the clearing she'd found. Her and Atiena mentally shared a glance of bewilderment at each other and then back to what they'd found just before the edge of the trees. The beast girl reached out and walked slowly around a large outcropping, her fingers feeling over the smooth stone structure that had been weathered down over centuries of rainfall. The two of them couldn't help but begin to chuckle as they moved in unison inside Suri's human form and took that step up onto the giant flat stone.

"Atiena, I think we found it," Suri sighed as she walked to the edge of the large surface and stood on the edge of it.

"I think we have," the beast laughed. "What are the odds?"

"Of finding giant flat rock beds like this?" Suri laughed, sticking her hands into her pockets as she surveyed her surroundings. "I mean it's natural stone so probably pretty often but positioned like this? Outside of the mind forest, I've only seen something like this occurring naturally maybe three or four times."

"There's so much power radiating from it too," Atiena chuckled. "And the scent."

"It's so goddamn faint but yeah," Suri sighed with a wide grin, taking in a deep breath of power and the scent of home, family, and ancestors. "That's dad's scent."

As they smiled together, Suri's eyes narrowed on a symbol that looked to be carved into the stone itself. She squatted down and couldn't help but smile even wider as she traced the carving with her index finger and it fit nearly perfectly inside the decades old groves. Her finger danced along and through the triangular design of the hand etched Volknut and then she moved her hand, finding more runes to feel over along the base of the stone perch.

Suri happily relished in the find and stood to slowly sway and dance in the moonlight like no one was watching. As she giggled and bathed herself in the moonlight she heard movement behind her. Hearing the movement she nearly readied herself to strike and go on the defensive until the breeze carried the wonderfully sweet scent that came with the onlooker.

It was a scent she knew and loved.

"I thought I told you to go get some rest," Suri grinned, turning to face Mina.

Mina, for her part, looked a little winded. The beast girl guessed the pinkette had probably been running around for the last twenty minutes or so trying to find her. Aside from looking a slight bit exhausted, the acid user had been looking around, taking in the view. Her expression was a mix of happiness and awe since neither of them knew a clearing like this had existed just beyond the school itself.

"This," Mina chuckled softly and then turned her eyes up towards Suri being haloed by the light of a crescent moon. She froze in that second, taken aback by the view and couldn't help the blush that covered her cheeks. "Wow."

"Honey, you okay?" Suri asked, her brow dipping in confusion at the sudden reaction. Not that she minded seeing her girlfriend openly blushing. Though, it was pretty rare for the pinkette to be left speechless.

"Y-Yeah," Mina replied, coming closer to the large flat surface that elevated Suri high above the clearing. "You look… just wow. And this place… It kinda reminds of that night at camp. W-When you died and I… I still have no idea how that happened."

"You mean when we pulled you into our mind?" Suri answered, smiling weakly and lowering herself to squat down and then seat herself on the edge of the flatstone. With her legs hanging off the edge, she extended her hand for Mina who took it gingerly. The beast girl pulled gently, and soon Mina was close enough to completely touch. "I don't think I ever properly apologized for dying on you. I… I would've said I'd promise you I wouldn't die on you again but I couldn't make that promise to you. Not until yesterday at least."

"I can't believe how much has happened in the last couple days," Mina smiled and moved up into Suri's arms. She happily placed herself between Suri's legs and let her arms wrap around the beast girl's waist. The pinkette let out a long sigh and leaned forward, resting herself against Suri's chest which she happily nuzzled herself into. "I'm still trying to recover from the whiplash. Like, I was all stressed and pissy having to deal with all of the drama Iida stirred up. All the hospital stuff. Then what happened with All Might and getting visits from Mr. Aizawa and All Might to ask for permission to move into the dorms. Packing for the dorms! Then the whole thing on the beach and meeting your family and all of that. And then last night! Which, oh my god that was totally amazing!"

"Yeah," Suri snorted with a wide grin. "Yeah it was. I'm really happy you and Tooru were there with me to share that with. Speaking of which," she frowned slightly and gave a careful, worried look to Mina. "I'm guessing they went to Tooru's room then?"

"Mhmm!" Mina grinned wide, her eyes full of mischief.

"But," Suri shook her head, still smiling but still concerned about the implications of what that meant and what was possibly happening right now. "I thought you were going to be next? That's what we decided, right?"

Mina smiled then, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes but she never let up. Instead she wrapped her arms tighter around Suri and pressed herself tighter into her girlfriend. Close and tight enough that Mina closed her eyes and softly laid a kiss at the hollow of Suri's throat and let Suri's chin press into her mess of pink curls.

"I know," the pinkette said quietly, laying another kiss along Suri's skin. "But it felt right to let Tooru and Izuku be together tonight, ya know?"

Suri frowned softly and laid her head into Mina, burying her face into the thick brush of cotton candy colored hair. She nuzzled and rubbed her face into the thick curls and let her hands come up to carefully cup the back of Mina's neck. The beast girl took in a deep breath, filling her lungs with the scent of citrus and cotton candy. Mina gave up her spot in line and that was okay because all three of them were with Izuku and the four would happily share each other. It wasn't that, no, it was the fact that Mina came after her for a reason Suri felt guilty about assuming.

"You… You know I'm not going anywhere, right?" Suri whispered softly into Mina's hair.

Mina stayed silent and instead squeezed Suri even tighter, her hands clutching at the back of her girlfriend's tank top. Then came the shaky breath that told Suri the girl in her arms was scared, possibly about to cry, and probably fighting off a slew of negative thoughts.

"Mina?" Suri whispered again.

Another long moment of shaky silence followed before Mina took in a quick, deep inhale of air and held it in to calm her nerves. Another moment saw her pulling back ever so slightly, enough that the pinkette could look into Suri's eyes.

"I… I don't want to lose you again," she finally said weakly.

Atiena stepped forward in Suri's mind, letting the acid user see that the beast itself was just as sorry and remorseful as Suri was. Mina, Tooru, Izuku, her classmates, none of them were meant to see how ugly the monsters could truly be. She was hoping to shield them for as long as she could from that possibility but ultimately that plan had fallen flat. It was Atiena that carefully moved Suri's hands to cup Mina's cheeks, holding her as she kissed the pinkette's forehead.

"And you never will, my love," Atiena said with soft, caring devotion. "We will always come back to you. We will claw our way through hell itself if it means staying by your side. And that goes for our Tooru and Izuku as well."

"Look at you," Mina smiled softly, her eyes sparkling as tears began to pool in them. "The big scary beast being all lovey dovey and mushy."

Suri and Atiena shared a grin that spread ear to ear as they looked down at the girl in their arms. Suri ran her thumbs across the corners of Mina's eyes, wiping away the tears that were threatening to fall before she leaned down and nuzzled her nose against the pinkette's forehead this time.

"And look at you, being all gorgeous and beautiful."

The sultry delivery of Suri's words made Mina squeal happily and she giggled as she buried herself back into Suri's chest. Atiena, however, took advantage of this and let out a soft, husky chuckle against the pinkette's ear before the beast herself spoke next.

"And best of all; mine."

Mina shivered and her breath hitched sharply at that. Her hands gripped tight and flexed their hold on Suri's tank top. The pinkette took a shuddering breath and swallowed hard as she kept her face buried in Suri's breasts. She stayed there for a long moment, which made Atiena begin to chuckle, happily amused by Mina's reaction.

"So unfair," Mina groaned against Suri's skin.

Of course Atiena knew the reaction her voice had on their shared girlfriends. It was wonderful amusement for the inner beast. That said, it also helped to tell Atiena that yes, even though she could be considered a different entity altogether, she shared more than Suri's body and soul, she shared everyone's love.

"And what are you gonna do about it?" Atiena and Suri asked in unison, a shared tone of snark and arrogance there. It was a blatant challenge to their alien queen.

Challenge accepted.

Mina let out a growl, something she'd picked up after being with Suri over the last few months and turned a serious glare up towards the beast girl. The pinkette showed off her own strength pushing Suri's back hard to bend her down into Mina's range of strike. With a blur of pink, Mina crashed into Suri, making the girl take in a sharp breath and groan loudly. Suri's lips became married and melded to Mina's who was quick to force the beast girl's mouth open. Their lips smacked for a few short moments, their mouths working and dancing against each other before Suri felt a slick, powerful muscle swiping over her bottom teeth. The permission for entry Mina's tongue was begging for was answered with a throaty growl and then a rough, passionate dance routine with Suri's tongue.

The pinkette pushed herself tight into Suri, their bodies melding and grinding into each other as hands roamed and groped for better holds. One of Mina's hands dug into the small of Suri's back, threatening to pull her off the stone perch while the other found a place to grip at the beast girl's shoulder. Suri was happily enjoying the brash forcefulness that Mina's grip brought with it and was more than happy to cup the side of Mina's neck with one hand and sink her fingers into the pinkette's lush hair with the other.

Suri's and Mina's mouths wrestled and struggled for dominance over each other for more than a few minutes. Their fingers dug into each other tight as the clearing filled with the sounds of lips, tongues, soft moans, and growls. Then came the sharp hiss from Suri as Mina cheekily grabbed her bottom lip between her teeth and tugged hard. As Suri's lip snapped back to her mouth, Mina looked up at her with a bratty grin that stretched ear to ear, knowing exactly what the slight pain would do. And the acid user was more than happy with the low, rumbling growl that filled Suri's throat as the beast girl looked at Mina with pure love and hunger.

"Keep it up, honey, and we won't make it back to the dorm rooms tonight," Suri growled, bearing fangs with her grin.

"Hehe," Mina giggled and then stuck out her tongue. "You say that like I care."

Suri laughed then and shook her head, happily enjoying the bratty side of Mina that was clearly looking to push buttons and boundaries. The idea of fucking her in the middle of the clearing in the moonlight had its appeal. Lots of appeal. In fact, there was a part of Suri - and Atiena for that matter - that wanted nothing more than to drag Mina onto the giant flat stone and rail her until morning came. The rational side though said public sex the first night living on a school campus might not be the smartest idea.

In the end the rational side won out.

And oh look, the angel on her shoulder in the form of Shiozaki - still for some unknown reason - happily nodded in agreement. Of course, would Shiozaki actually approve of such carnal relations anyway? Only Kirishima would know, which made Suri think to ask him about it the next time she saw him.

"Mmm, honey, as much as I wanna rip your clothes off right now," Suri purred, briefly kissing Mina's lips again. "I don't think the teachers would appreciate us fucking out here."

"Yeah, true," Mina feigned exasperation and pouted her bottom lip. "Your room?"

"My room," Suri happily growled and pushed forward, slipping herself off of the stone throne she'd been perched on.

With another quick kiss stolen from Mina's lips, Suri showed off for her girlfriend. Of course she had to show the pinkette who was truly the queen between them. And what was the best way to do that outside of the bedroom? Suri flexed and, with so much ease, swept Mina off of her feet, laying her in her arms and cradling the pinkette's body to hers. She began marching towards the edge of the clearing towards the line of forest with a devilish grin.

Mina wasn't one to be the damsel in distress but gods did she enjoy being carried around so easily by the tall, confident, muscular girl she was head over feels for. Well one of the girls she was head over heels for anyway. Tooru was deceptively strong in her own right but only Suri was able to manhandle the two of them with so much ease.

Or would it be womanhandle?

Suri's speed began to pick up as they made it into the forest, making quick work of the trip from the forest clearing behind the dorms to the building itself. As they got to the girl's side of the dorm, they both grinned, seeing a lamp light still on inside Tooru's room and the movement of a rather male looking shadow hidden behind the drapes. They wouldn't disturb them because, as much as they'd love to break in and watch Tooru and Izuku, Mina and Suri had much different plans. Plans that may or may not include making sure their shared mates would hear them from the floor below. Suri grinned wider as she ran towards the building, leapt with Mina in her arms and caught her room's balcony with one hand. Mina watched Suri's muscles ripple with happy desire and couldn't help but grin ear to ear. Her cheeks and her core became washed with a burning heat that was more than excited for what was about to come.

"Oh, I'm in so much trouble, ain't I?" Mina giggled quietly as Suri stepped over the railing and opened the door to her room, still holding Mina up easily with one arm.

"Yeah, baby. You are."
