Hello! My hero doesn't belong to me. I wrote this because I needed more dadzawa in my life and decided to share. These will be a series of one shots that i'll update sporadically.

Chapter 1: Night time interruption

The glow of the screen cast a soft light on Shouta's face. It was midnight and he should have been in bed by now but he had to finish his report. Tired eyes scanned the screen when a knock at the door broke his concentration. The only person it could be was Eri. The child that was rescued from Overhaul's hands.

"Come in Eri." His deep voice was soft usually reserved just for Eri. The door opened slightly and a little silver head peered through the crack. Her large eyes gazed at his until she looked away and down. Shouta smiled and leaned his body slightly back. "You can come all the way in Eri." His voice now with a hit of amusement. Eri's eyes widened and she stepped through the door her light purple pajamas had little stars and a little pink kitten curled up on the moon. She fiddled with her shirt as her eyes hit the ground. Shouta frowned at the little girl when he saw her lips tremble and eyes well up with tears.

"What's wrong Eri? Did you have a nightmare?" He fully turned to her now and waited for her to calm down. Since the day she was rescued Eri avoided all human touch. Shouta's heart constricting and rage rose when he thought of the reason why. He constantly had to stop himself from going after Overhaul. The though of Overhaul being quirkless and in jail eased his rage slightly but the thought of sneaking in and ending him filled him with a sense of retribution.

"Are…are you sure you can stop me from hurting people?" Shoutas chest tightened at the thought of the abuse this little girl must have gone through. He rose from his chair and squatted in front of her. Not too close to make her uncomfortable but not so far from her he couldn't properly talk to her. Eri's face was slightly red and looked like she was about to burst out crying. This little girl he had come to know barely made any noise. A product of the abuse that was dealt to her by her abusers.

"Yes Eri. With my quirk I can stop yours." Her head lowered and both her hands were wringing the bottom if her pajamas. He slowly lifted a hand, making sure she saw it as he raised it to her head. She tensed and flinched when it softly landed on her head. "I'm a pro hero and I'll make sure nothing happens to you Eri." A tear escaped her eye, "But… what about other people? Am I going away to? Are they going to take me away because I'm bad?"

His hand caressed her head as he tried to calm her. If anyone hurt her or even thought of making her cry he knew he would end them. Anything for this pure girl crying in front of him that had been through so much. "Eri you're not bad. I'll always be here to protect you." She looked up and stared at him with her large woeful eyes. "Are you sure? I'm not going to hurt people?" Shouta looked at her and said," Eri I promise you. You're not going to hurt anyone and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you."

Eri burst into tears and shot forward hugging Shouta to her. She clung to him wetting his dark blue pajamas shirt with tears. He hugged her to him as she let all her hurt and fears out. He held her until her cries stopped and her breaths deepened. He promised everyone what ever God there was he would protect her.

This little girl was taking a hold on him. She was worming her way into his heart and he never let anyone see. There would have been several people in shock at the tenderness in his eyes as he spoke to Eri or the way he always watched her favorite Glitter Force anime. How he would prepare her apples as a snack and made sure she ate even when he never cared to eat himself. Yes, Shouta Aizawas world was changing and for someone so smart the poor sucker had no clue.

Thank you for reading! If you have time to review please do! I would love to know what everyone thinks.
