What happens to the people that leave here?

Do they make it back home or... something else? It doesn't seem to make much sense.

[shootstyles]

Oh. Y-yeah. Back when I was in middle school, people would mess with me. Steal my notebooks, break my pens, trip me during gym, that sort of thing.

[He rubs the back of his neck. He doesn't really understand how that sort of thing is fun. Maybe because he's still so new to having friends where messing with him is actually a sign of affection.]

Never with a laser though.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

Well yeah, that's because lasers are fun. All that other stuff's just kids being shitheads.

[He shuts the lightsaber knife off and holds it out toward Izuku.]

Here, take this back. Leave it in my hands and I'll have everything here cut up in like, ten minutes.

[shootstyles]

Maybe you should keep it.

[He doesn't move to take it back.]

I have my Hero training to fall back on and I don't really know how to use a knife. And I'm not sure I want to use it on anything but a door. Besides, you might need it to look after Sumo.

[At the sound of his name, Sumo raises his head and tries to lick Izuku's still slightly wet face. He sputters and leans away.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

Like how? In case I need to cut some doors open for him? No, kid, you're not giving me the one thing you got on you to defend yourself. Besides, it's been helping you out. Also, didn't you just hear me say I'd just use it to break everything? Some men just shouldn't have this kinda power.

[Hank does not, for the record, help with the wet face thing. You try to get on his dog's good side, you deal with the consequences. Sometimes dogs slobber all over your face and no one raises a single hand to stop it. It's a hard world.]

[shootstyles]

I dunno! In case you need to protect yourself. From... whatever that noise is, incase it's something bad. I don't want you to get hurt or anything like th-

[He's interrupted by Sumo now deciding to just climb on him to better lick his snotty face and he sort of just topples over. Izuku is pretty well built but he's just on the smaller side so Sumo can just... take him down.

Ow, embarrassing when he's trying to be like.. a good model Hero!]

[fuck1ngusernam3]

[Hank snorts, almost laughing.]

Yeah, you seem like you're perfectly capable of defending yourself against big dangerous shit, this sure is convincing me. You gotta take care of yourself too, you know.

[He leans over, trying to see Izuku under all the dog.]

Need a little help there?

[shootstyles]

Hey! I can't exactly use any of my training on a dog! That would be completely inappropriate!

[Sumo makes a "woof" in agreement and settles happily on top of Izuku, who wriggles trying to get a little less pressure on his lungs. He could shove the dog off but... he's just trying to be friendly and comforting in his own way.]

And... maybe just a little.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

You're damn right it would.

[Hank says it absently, inspecting the damage.]

I don't know, once this guy settles down there's not a lot anyone can do. Wanna try and get him onto me instead?

[shootstyles]

Sumo.

[Izuku whines as he pushes at the dog. He's able to bench Sumo easily but it's more the fact that the dog is just... flopped on top of him with no interest in moving. So he can lif tthe front of the dog but his backside is still on top of his legs. Eventually, Izuku gives up and flops back down]

I think I'm stuck here.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

So, what do you wanna do with your new life as a dog bed? Want me to make sure you get an endless supply of notebooks or something? A pillow? Moral support? I could try to call him, but I don't know how much good that'd really do.

[shootstyles]

I wouldn't say no to any of the above.

This new life is gonna take some getting used to.

[Sumo wags his tail, clearly very proud of himself.]

[fuck1ngusernam3]

Don't worry kid, Sumo's good company. As long as you don't need to move.

[Hank smiles. Yeah, he's laughing at Izuku a little, but he'll hang around until his dog decides to move.]
