"You've got an entire weekend to yourself Listener, any plans?"

A whole weekend before they went back to school. 2 days didn't sound like a lot but when you're a hero student that basically gets attacked every other week you tend to want as much rest as you can get. Iruka thought about it for a bit to conclude she didn't really have anything to do.

"I hope you aren't too tired because I've got plans for us." Hizashi chimed to Iruka's obvious confusion. "Nothing too tiring I promise. Just getting together for some dinner with friends is all."

Iruka hummed. It'd be nice to see her parent's friends. Though of course, she saw their colleagues on a daily but she missed seeing her Aunt Emi.

"Who's it gonna be with?"

"Ems is going, I'm sure Nemu will too. Oh invite Tenya, I'm sure he'd love to hang out with his brother."

"Uncle Tensei is out of the hospital?" When it was first announced that Tensei was in the hospital Iruka heard it from the news before anyone else and sure she wasn't mad at Tenya for keeping it a secret but she was bothered her parents kept it from her.

Tensei was one of Hizashi and Shota's mutual friend that they made when they all had only started their pro hero careers.

"Sorta. His doctor said he should get some fresh air. It'll be good for him." Iruka nodded and decided to text Tenya. Heh it'd be fun to see him surprised she knew Tensei so well.

Growing up Iruka would always hear stories from Tensei about his little brother. She'd never met Tenya when they were little mostly because it was very brief meetings they'd have around the city but also because Tenya was oddly a very busy child. She understood now of course that the Iida family were very business-oriented.

Iruka A.Y
Hey Iida are you coming to the dinner with your brother?

Class Rep
Ito, I don't think I should as he is going out with his friends.
Though it bothers me greatly that you even know about that dinner

Iruka A.Y
Ya well don't be to freaked
Also you should definitely go, it'll be a nice way to relax after our long week

Class Rep
As much as I enjoy my brother's company I do not want to disrupt his time with his friends.

Iruka sighed. Tenya had good intentions of course but as Katsuki put it, "He always had a stick up his ass". She didn't want to pester him further so she dropped the topic and instead decided to ponder on what she should wear.

========

"Iruka! How's my favourite prankster?" Emi asked attacking Iruka with a big panda hug.

"'m doin 'ood." Iruka muffled out.

"Good? That doesn't sound right, you've gotta be doing amazing Sunshine. You're 16 now. How is that not exciting?"

"Oh." The dinner isn't just some friend get together, is it?

"Come on Ems, pester her inside with the others," Hizashi suggested, tossing his hand over Emi's shoulders. The two walked in laughing about something with Shota and Iruka lagging behind.

A waiter directed them to a secluded booth in the back of the restaurant where Tensei, Nemuri and Hina were chatting away.

"Aww our birthday girl is here!" Nemuri giggled as Iruka hugged the three.

"Way to ruin a surprise Nemuri." Shota muttered as he sat down. Nemuri gave him a little tch as she fawned over Iruka.

Little by little more friends came by. All the girls dragged Iruka into a girls circle on one side of the table where Mirai and Fleur braided Iruka's hair. On the other side of the table, Hizashi and Tensei were shoving chips and salsa down their mouths as best they can without spilling it all everywhere. Sekijiro making sure neither of them chokes while Shota watches dissaprovingly.

Dinner was served around, the chatter not even close to dying down. As the night came to a close everyone handed their gifts to Iruka. Shouta told her it was best to open them at so as to not make a mess in the restaurant. With gifts placed to one side, it was finally time to enjoy the best kind of dessert, the cake.

It was a chocolate cheesecake with a little kitty next to the text that wrote out "Happy Birthday Iruka!". As the birthday song was sung, other than feeling awkward Iruka felt a fuzzy joy.

Iruka waved her goodbyes as she followed her dads to the car, Nemuri and Emi following suit (They had convinced Shouta to let them have an impromptu sleepover) each holding a couple of gifts each.

==========

"Look Iruka Fleur got you one of those plant-animal things," Emi said as she held up a little box.

The girls were in the living room helping Iruka open gifts, wrapping paper, ribbon and paper bags of all sorts covering the floor.

"Isn't Iruka supposed to be the one opening her own gifts?" Hizashi questions as he took a sip of tea.

"She said we could help her open it." Nemuri pouted at the blond.

"Ya! No fun opening presents if they're only going to help watch- Oh my goodness!" Iruka squealed out as she got up holding a dress in front of her.

"Well try it on, Listener." Hizashi chimed. Iruka rushed to her room to change.

After a while, Iruka came out wearing a navy blue dress. The dress barely touched the floor which Iruka was thankful for because she would've cried if she got the thing dirty just by walking.

"Oo give us a twirl kiddo." And twirl she did.

"It looks stunning on you kid." Shota had walked over, coffee in hand and ready to head out for patrol.

"Are you going out already Shota?" Emi questioned.

"Ya I am. You 4 don't burn the house down, I'm putting Frappucino in charge." He waved at them before heading out.

"Hey!" The older yelled out offended as Iruka laughed her head off.

=========

2 movies later and an entire quarter of cake gone left Iruka curled in a pile of blankets on the floor, Babycino and Mocha by her side. Nemuri, Emi and Hizashi on the couch, blankets cover their heads as if to make a makeshift blanket fort out of themselves.

" 'Zashi do you happen to have chocolate?" Emi asked as the credits of the last movie rolled in.

"Ya in the cupboards why?"

"Any marshmallows and crackers?" Emi asked as she head to the kitchen.

"Well yes but why?"

"OH MY GODDDDD!" Iruka yelled out startling Nemuri and Hizashi.

"Iruka it's 1 am don't yell so loud," Hizashi noted, Nemuri snorting because look who's talking.

"But papa, kitchen smores." Iruka alluded doing sparkly motions with her hand.

"That's right kiddo. Now come help assemble them." Iruka squealed hopping of her blanket pile and rushing to the kitchen.

Kitchen smores were an absolute success. Of course, other than the fact that Nemuri had set a marshmallow on fire and thought trying to blow it out was a good idea. Thankfully the worse of their loss was a very very burnt marshmallow that had been graved in the trash.

Iruka had them huddle up back in the living so they could enjoy one last movie. It was a movie about how a girl got left behind because of an alien attack and was trying her best to find her mum with the help of one of these aliens. 

Even through droopy eyes, Iruka loved the movie though she barely caught the end of it as she drifted off to sleep in Nemuri's lap. The older's head on Hizashi's right shoulder and Emi on the other side of the couch, head laying on the armrest.

If you asked Shota if this was the most wholesome thing he had ever come home to he'd be lying as say no.

Heyy!
As of tomorrow (September 18) PHA would've officially been going for a year and I think that's so so so coool.

Unfortunately I have nothing big planned (life and all) other than I'll be posting this fic on AO3 tomorrow. It'll all be posted in one go so AO3 will have the same posted chapters as here.

I honestly didn't think I would still be keeping this going though to be fair this fic has been what kept me going.

Thank you everyone for continuing to read this fic of mine (grammar mistakes and all).

I hope you liked this chapter and if you did a vote and/or comment is very very very well appreciated.

Have a lovely day, night, weekend, whenever, wherever you are.

Stay safe,
Bye Lovies~
