Chapter 17 - After the Sports Festival

Yuna, Natsu, Zoey, Izuku, and Uraraka were walking to the train station together. They were talking about the U.A. Sports Festival.

"You were amazing in the sports festival Sakai. I can't believe you won." Uraraka said as Yuna chuckled.

"My win is mostly due to Natsu Dragneel and Zoey here. I couldn't have done it without them." Yuna said gesturing towards Natsu and Zoey.

"I see. Anyways, it's really nice to meet you Natsu, Zoey. I'm Ochaco Uraraka. I'm in Deku's class and I'm also friends with Sakai. Sakai has told me a bit about you guys." Uraraka introduced herself as Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"Deku?" Natsu said in a confused tone.

"Oh that's just a nickname some people call me." Izuku explained.

"Ah, I see." Natsu said as the five of them reached the train station. Natsu's face filled with dread as he realized they were going to get on a train. They looked different from the ones in Earth-land, but he still recognized what it was.

"Wait, urp- you have to take a train home?!" Natsu said, getting sick from the thought. Izuku and Uraraka looked at him funny.

"Yes, Sorry about that Natsu. I know you get really bad motion sickness on trains. But U.A. High is too far away to walk home from." Yuna said as Natsu held his stomach.

"That sucks. Is it just trains you get sick on?" Uraraka asked as Natsu shook his head.

"Nope... it's all forms of transportation." Natsu squeaked out as they waited for their trains. They said goodbye to Uraraka as their trains arrived. Natsu reluctantly got onto the train with Yuna, Zoey, and Izuku. On the train ride home, Natsu noticed Yuna wasn't getting motion sick. The more he thought about it, he realized she never got motion sickness back when she was in Earth-land. Once they got off the train and Natsu was feeling better, he asked her why she didn't get sick.

"Hey Yuna, how come you don't get motion sick on the train? I mean you're a dragon slayer like me." Natsu asked as Yuna thought for a moment.

"Huh, I don't know. Maybe it's because I never had motion sickness before I ended up in your universe." Yuna said, answering Natsu's question as best she could. On the way home, they stopped at the Tatooin Shopping District to get Natsu a new shirt because Bakugo destroyed it during the tournament match of the sports festival. He picked out a light orange collared shirt with white borders on the collar and sleeve ends and Yuna bought it for him. On the way out of the clothing store, she spotted a teal scrunchy she really liked. The store clerk approached them.

"They're buy one get one free today only." The store clerk said as he grabbed two of the scrunchies Yuna was looking at and dangled them from his fingers.

"We'll take them." Izuku said as he pulled out his wallet and paid for them. As they left the store, Yuna tied her hair in twin tails with the new scrunchies Izuku just bought her and Natsu put his new shirt on and tied his scarf and wore it like a sash.

"Thank you for buying this shirt for me. I really needed it." Natsu thanked Yuna as he wrapped his arm around her and nuzzled his nose in her hair, giving her a kiss on top of her head.

"You're welcome Natsu." Yuna said leaning against him. Izuku got jealous of Natsu being all touchy with Yuna and leaned in and kissed the side of her head.

"And thank you Izuku for buying me these scrunchies. I love them." Yuna said as she wrapped her arm around Izuku's waist and pulled him in closer to her. He blushed as she did so.

"So Natsu, how do you feel about Yuna?" Izuku said as Natsu looked at him like he asked a stupid question.

"I love her of course. I have since we were kids. I never mustered up the courage to tell her how I felt before she left. It was something I regretted ever since. When Yuna introduced you to me as her boyfriend, I was heartbroken. But I still had to confess to her even if it was too late. When I did, she kissed me and told me everything. She told me that you would allow her to date more than one guy. And while I don't really want to share her with others, I'd rather do that than lose her to someone else." Natsu said as Izuku sighed.

"I feel the same way. I'd rather let her be happy than let my own selfish desires get in the way. And if Yuna is happiest with dating multiple guys, then so be it. I've loved her since we were little, though I didn't realize it was love at the time because I was too young. But as I grew up, I continued to miss her so much while she was gone. All those years I thought about her all the time as if I were lovesick. And now that she's back, I want to cherish her." Izuku said.

"Well, it looks like we're on the same page. Let's get along then." Natsu said with a grin as he held out his hand to Izuku who smiled, shaking his hand.

"You know, I don't have to be the only one dating multiple people. If you want, you guys can also date other girls if you want. I don't want to be too selfish. Izuku, don't you also like that girl, Uraraka, in your class?" Yuna said.

"I like Uraraka, but only as a close friend. I couldn't see her as anything more than that. You're the only one I have eyes for Yuna." Izuku clarified as he grabbed Yuna's hand and squeezed it lightly.

"Same, my heart only longs for you Yuna." Natsu said with a warm smile as he gently grabbed Yuna's other hand. The three of them walked hand-in-hand together until they reached their apartments. Before Izuku opened the door to his apartment, Yuna called out to him.

"How about you come over for a bit Izuku." Yuna suggested as Izuku's face lit up.

"Really? Okay, but I should drop off my stuff and let my mom know first. I'll be right out." Izuku said as he went inside his apartment to drop his school bag off and tell his mom he was gonna be next door at Yuna's apartment. He came out a couple minutes later and joined Yuna, Natsu, and Zoey. When Yuna opened the door, they were greeted by streamers and confetti flying in their faces.

"Happy sixteenth birthday Yuna!" Yuna's mother, father, and sister all said in unison. It had been such a big day at school, Yuna completely forgot it was her birthday today.

"And congratulations on placing 1st in the U.A. Sports Festival!" Aya, Yuna's mother said.

"Oh yeah, it's my birthday today! I completely forgot!" Yuna said as Izuku and Natsu both got embarrassed looks on their faces since they forgot too.

"So Yuna, who are your friends?" Manami asked her older sister.

"Oh, this is Natsu Dragneel and Zoey from Earth-land that I told you about. Natsu, Zoey, this is my younger sister Manami and my mom and dad." Yuna said introducing everyone.

"Just call us Makoto and Aya." Yuna's parents said to Natsu and Zoey. Then they went to the kitchen and brought out the food and cake to the dining table as Manami brought in the presents into the living room. They all celebrated together, talking and laughing throughout the evening. Yuna had fun opening all the presents from her parents and sister. Once she finished opening all the presents, Izuku excused himself to go back to his apartment for a brief moment, saying he'd be right back. After he left, Natsu reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a little box and handed it to Yuna.

"I've been saving this for years, waiting for you to come back." Natsu said as Yuna thanked him and opened it. Inside the box was a gold chain necklace with two golden hearts linked together.

"Oh Natsu, it's beautiful! I love it!" Yuna said as she hugged Natsu. He took the necklace from the box and put it on around her neck right as Izuku walked in with a small box with a small bow on it.

"Yuna, this is for you. I got it a couple days back for your birthday, but forgot to give it to you earlier today because I was focused on the sports festival." Izuku said as he handed her the box. Yuna opened it to reveal a gold adjustable bracelet with a teal heart-shaped gemstone in the middle.

"It's perfect Izuku! Thank you so much, I love it!" Yuna said as Izuku took the bracelet out of the box and put it on her left wrist, gently tightening it to the right circumference.

"Oh and there's one more surprise for you Honey." Yuna's mother, Aya, said.

"Follow me." Yuna's father, Makoto, said getting up while gesturing for her to follow him. Yuna, Izuku, Natsu, and Zoey all got up and followed Makoto to Yuna's bedroom. He turned on the lights and revealed the surprise. Yuna's pastel pink room was now painted in a light teal color, her single bed had been upgraded to a black-framed double bed with new white sheets and dark teal spread, Her pink floral nightstands were replaced with white modern style nightstands, there was a new white larger dresser in place of the old plain wooden one, and there was a large flat screen TV across from her bed on a stand against the wall.

"We remodeled and upgraded your room. We figured you needed a room makeover since you're not a little kid anymore." Makoto said.

"Don't worry, we didn't get rid of any of your old toys or books. We put those in a keepsake box that we put in your closet." Aya informed Yuna who hugged her mother and father.

"Thank you so much Mom, Dad. It looks perfect!" Yuna said as she let go of her parents.

"Thank your sister too. She picked out the room color, furniture and TV." Makoto said as Yuna went over to Manami, thanking her and giving her a hug. Then she went over to Izuku, Natsu, and Zoey.

"Hey do you guys want to watch a movie or something on my new TV in my room?" Yuna asked as Izuku nodded, but Natsu and Zoey gave her a puzzled look.

"Oh yeah, you guys don't really have technology like this in Earth-land, do you? Well then, let me show you." Yuna said as she went into her room with Izuku, Natsu, and Zoey following behind her. She flopped onto her bed and patted the empty spaces on either side of her for Natsu and Izuku to come and sit down next to her. The two boys climbed onto the bed with Yuna, Izuku on the right and Natsu on the left. Zoey curled up on her lap as she reached over to one of the nightstands and grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. It was a nice 165 cm (65 inch) 4K smart TV. Manami really did a good job of picking out a good TV. She went to the Disney+ app and logged in on her family's account. Manami had left a list of all the usernames and passwords for the streaming services they had subscriptions to on the nightstand the remote was on.

"So what movie do you guys want to watch?" Yuna asked as she slowly scrolled through the movies and shows that were on Disney+ while Izuku and Natsu looked through them with her. A movie suddenly caught Natsu's eye. There was a lion, lioness, mandrill, warthog, and meerkat on the cover.

"I want to watch that one." Natsu said as he pointed at the Lion King cover.

"Izuku, are you okay with watching the Lion King?" Yuna asked as Izuku nodded his head.

"Sure, I haven't seen that one since we saw it together as kids." Izuku said as Yuna selected the movie and started it. As it played through the opening scene where all the African animals gathered at Pride Rock for Simba's presentation ceremony, Izuku cuddled with Yuna. He leaned his head against her. Yuna wrapped her arm around Izuku and held him close. Natsu then shot Izuku a jealous glare and cuddled with her as well, he grabbed her arm and nestled his head against her shoulder. Yuna rested her hand on Natsu's leg, caressing him with her thumb.

~Time Skip~

Natsu watched the screen intensely as the scene where Mufasa was climbing the rocky side of the canyon above the wildebeest stampede toward Scar, asking for help.

"Come on, help him!" Natsu raised his voice at the TV. When Scar let go of Mufasa, Natsu stared at the screen in shock with his jaw hanging open. But his shocked expression soon turned to anger.

"He killed his own brother, his family! How dare he!" Natsu said with rage as he held up a clenched fist which he set ablaze.

"Natsu calm down, it's a movie. It's just fiction so it's not real." Yuna said as she placed her hand on his raised arm. The fire on Natsu's fist went out and he put his arm down.

"Okay fine. But seriously, even though Mufasa decided to make Simba the heir of the throne instead of Scar, he still shouldn't have killed him. Family members should forgive one another when they've been wronged, not resort to murder." Natsu said as he returned to cuddling with Yuna again.

~Time Skip~

The movie had just ended and the credits started rolling. Yuna went back to the Disney+ home screen.

"So how did you like the movie, Natsu?" Yuna asked Natsu who raised his head and looked at her with a smile.

"It was pretty good. I liked it." Natsu said.

"It is a Disney classic after all." Izuku said as Yuna nodded.

"You know, there are two more Lion King movies. The Lion King Two and the Lion King One and a Half." Yuna said as Natsu's face lit up.

"Can we watch them?" Natsu asked, his eyes big with anticipation. Yuna couldn't say no to that face.

"I guess we can." Yuna said as she found the Lion King Two first and started the movie.

~Another Time Skip~

They had finished the Lion King Two and were now watching the Lion King One and a Half, but it was late, so the three of them were starting to get tired. Zoey had already fallen asleep in Yuna's lap a while ago. They were about halfway through the movie when Yuna started to nod off. When She fell asleep, both Natsu and Izuku looked at her and smiled at her softly. Natsu brushed a strand of hair out of her face as Izuku planted a kiss on her forehead. The two guys continued to watch the movie as Yuna slept between them. Izuku was the next one to fall asleep around three quarters through the movie. Both Yuna and Izuku had already seen the movie so they didn't really miss out on anything. Natsu made it through the entire movie and fell asleep shortly after the credits started rolling. Izuku and Natsu snuggled closer to Yuna as they slept. She smiled and shifted contently in her sleep as Zoey adjusted her position in her lap. They all slept soundly through the night together on Yuna's bed.
