IzuOcha Arc 3 chapter 1:
Izuku POV:
"Midoryia!" says a friendly calm voice, "You need to wake up!" says the voice slightly more alarmed, "Now!" it says and with that my eyes snap open to see my half red, half white-haired friend kneeling next to me. As I turn my head slowly, I notice that I am not in my room but rather in the common area on the couch.
"Oh, hi Todoroki. What time is it?" I ask a little concerned before I notice there is a pressure on my shoulder, as I turn my head my heart skips a beat and my face grows as hot as Todoroki's fire quirk.
"7am, Only me and Momo has seen so we won't tell, Momo even scared Kirishima off before he could come downstairs. But if you don't get up soon Mina will be down, and you will never hear the end of this." He states and it takes me a while, but the logic sinks in and I go wide eye finally understanding what he means.
"Right. Thanks, Todoroki." I say as I go to wake up Uraraka, Shoto stops me,
"I am going on a date tonight. I know I don't usually do this, but I am claiming a favour from you." He says turning a little red, clearly embarrassed. "I need you to help me prepare for this," Todoroki says clearly a little pinker than before but not matching the shade I know I am.
"Todoroki. I am your friend, of course, I will help. No need to call in a favour." I say smiling, I never thought I would help anyone prepare for any kind of date it in the past all felt a little farfetched.
"Great. Let's talk later about this." He says, as I nod in agreement, I slightly move Uraraka a little and I see her eyes gently flutter open. Then slowly she rolls up on her own just sitting there like some kind of robot, "Go help Momo in the kitchen Midoryia, I will make sure these two wakes up properly."
As he finishes, I stand up and walk over to the kitchen where Momo is standing fully dressed, her hair pulled back in a ponytail looking as if it wasn't 7am. It amazes me that I have never seen her with bed hair or even a tiny lapse in her appearance. "Hello Midoryia, how are you this morning?" she asks moving around the kitchen slowly grabbing things,
"Good thanks. What can I do to help?" I ask moving around the bench and into the kitchen,
"Can you pour out the tea? I have been brewing it since we got down here ten minutes ago." She says pointing to the brewing pot,
"Of course," I say moving over and getting out five cups and start pouring the tea out as I watch Todoroki attempt to wake up Eri and Uraraka just sitting there staring off into space. Then I feel someone very close behind me,
"Please be quiet. I have a question for you, and I don't want Shoto hearing." Momo slightly whispers making sure the others can't hear her, "Your Todoroki's best friend, he has said it to me on multiple occasions. So, you would know out of anyone, what food does he like?" Momo asks her tone isn't like her normal tone but it is riddled with worry and concern in it. As I let the question sink in, I turn around to face Momo, her eyes wells of worry and fear.
"You are a good person and it makes me happy to know you want to make him happy but there is something you must know about Todoroki." I say taking a breath to pause, "Todoroki didn't have a great childhood. So, he didn't have a lot of friends when he was growing up, he has only left his shell recently understanding that not all people want to hurt him some want to look after him and care about him. His goal recently is to make those around him happy, he isn't selfish, he isn't stuck up. He just wants to make people happy and he wants to become a hero. So when picking where to go for your date tonight, pick something you would want, explain to him this is what you like to eat he will enjoy it a whole lot more." I say turning back to see Todoroki using his quirk to make something out of ice, "I have only seen Todoroki smile twice, once was eating my cooking and the second was looking at you laugh and smile, don't try and please him. Just make you happy cause that will make him happy to watch you smile." I say giving Momo a smile, I see her face as I finish go a similar pink to my own a few moments ago.
"Thank you Midoryia. I won't forget this kindness." Momo responds giving me a soft smile and taking her normal high-class tone. I nod and as I do an explosion occurs,
"COLD COLD COLD!" explodes a little girl from the lounge room, as I turn my head, I see Eri running around like a mad child, squealing at the top of her lungs. I see Todoroki have a small smile appear on his face when our eyes meet, he shrugs and goes back to watching Eri run around the room.
"Eri. Come here." Says Uraraka, motioning the child to come towards her, "It's just a piece of ice." Uraraka says pulling out a piece of ice shaped like a sphere. Which makes me look at Todoroki and roll my eyes.
"Eri come have some tea," I say walking over with two cups, handing one to Eri who has now lost all craziness and instead stares at the tea and starts blowing softly. "For you," I say handing Uraraka her own tea.
"Thanks, Deku." She says with her bright smile; with that, we mostly chat about hero stuff while watching Eri drink her tea in peace. With me finishing first I stand up to leave,
"Alright, I am going to take a shower and get changed, look after Eri for me until I get back," I say, getting a single nod from everyone in response, I activate my quirk and race upstairs in a flash. I pretty much use my quirk to race around my room grabbing some clothes for today as well as racing into my private shower.
It's nice and warm but I feel a slightly chilly breeze that seems to originate from my phone when I step out of the shower. So, I get changed into a set of green tracksuit similar to my original costume just more green and less aqua. As I finish my last shoelace I walk over to my phone and open it.
I am paralyzed, in complete shock at what I see.

Hi Izuku,
I got a message from the school that I must come in urgently, it's the middle of the night so I am displeased. If you have pulled a stunt like you did with Bakugou again. There will be hell to pay young man. I hope you're not injured though.
Best of wishes for the culture festival.
As I scroll down, I read more and more shorter messages about concern and then it devolves into telling me how grounded I am if I got into another fight with another student. Then I see another message, from Mr Aizawa.
Problem student,
I need you with Eri in my office 9am sharp. We need to talk immediately. I called your mother there as well. I expect you to be on time.
Reading that I am sent into panic mode,
"Maybe I am getting expelled for sleeping downstairs. Maybe they are gonna castrate me? What if they do? What do they want? What if I am going to be killed? What will my mother do!"
Until suddenly a beeping awakens me from my trance. I look over and see my clock saying 8am. As I see it my eyes grow wide and I race downstairs towards Eri. Quickly scoping her up and racing her back upstairs to get ready, finding a pretty white dress she brought for today.
Aizawa POV:
I heard my alarm go off about five minutes ago, but I don't want to move. Spending yesterday in that dam meeting almost killed me. Just thinking about it makes me grab Emi and hold her closer, even though I can't see her, I know Emi is what I am holding in my arms. Just her warmth next to mine is enough to calm me down and is all I need to know she is next to me.
Then like I was touching a live wire; a jolt of energy is sent through my body as I feel two lips press against my forehead. Which causes me to open my eyes.
As I do, I am greeted by the beautiful sight of Emi's eye's, they are like whirlpools sucking me out of my dream and into them. Just looking at them makes me feel like I have been lost for hours even though it has only been a second.
"Hey." Emi lets out with a smile, "How did you sleep?" she asks,
"Yeah alright. Better than usual actually." I respond, feeling happy as I stare into her eyes.
"I love you." She says, as she does, I feel my heart skip multiple beats as if it was a pebble skipping across a lake. I feel my face also grow bright red and it feels like it is on fire. So, I do the one thing I can I bring Emi right into my chest trying to hide the fact that she has made me all flustered.
"I love you too," I say,
"I have something I want to ask you," Emi says, as she does, I release her so we can both sit up properly. I have no idea what she wants to ask me hopefully it isn't like last time when she asked for ice cream at close to 3am.
"You can ask me anything. As long as it doesn't involve 3am and going to get ice cream or sorbet." I say pretending to be stern. In an instant, she bursts out laughing,
"Oh, whoever said you had no sense of humour!" Emi laughs out,
"You say anything I will deny it all," I say with a quick wink which makes Emi continue to laugh for a good few seconds to which I roll my eyes and just let her get it out of her system.
"Alright Alright." Emi heaves out after five minutes of constant laughing.
"So, what did you want to ask me?" I ask,
"Well." Emi starts, "Do you like my name?" she asks, which leaves me confused.
"Of course, I like your name Emi. It is a beautiful name. It means Picture beauty. Which I can say is accurate." I say as I stare at her sea-green hair and amazing figure next to me.
"Well, I don't. In particular my last name. I would prefer Emi Aizawa." She says but as she does my brain stops working. I feel like Midoryia when he gets embarrassed. I try to reboot but I just can't all I can feel is my cheeks grow hotter and hotter with every passing second. "So, when can we get married so I can change my name?" she asks suggestively,
I don't know what happened, but I know I froze staring forward for at least five minutes, trying to remember how to make my mouth work. All I can figure out is one word, "Soon."
Izuku POV:
"Alright. One last time." Says Momo. For like the fifth time in the past ten minutes, "You have your spare dress, your doll, your toiletry bag and." She bends down to Eri's ear and whispers something into it. Which causes Emi to jump like a jumping bean.
"Ok, Sorry Momo. We have to go otherwise Mr Aizawa will most likely kill me for being late." I say picking up Emi and placing her on my shoulders. "Thanks again Momo," I say giving her a quick smile and start heading towards the door.
"No, I don't want to go!" squeals Eri, as she starts to swing from side to side on my shoulders.
"Why not Eri?" I ask confused,
"I want Floaty to come with me!" she yells, to which I sigh.
Thank goodness this is an easy fix plus I wouldn't mind the company myself.
"Uraraka can you come with us both. Eri won't leave without you." I say,
"Sure!" she almost yells with a massive smile almost as big as Ms Joke's. A second later we are all walking towards the main offices for the teachers. We walk in comfortable silence except for Emi making smashing and punching sounds on my shoulders. "Any idea what this is about?" Uraraka asks breaking the silence,
"I have no idea, hopefully, I am not getting into trouble for something," I say as I think trying to figure out what I have done recently that could make me get called to Mr Aizawa.
"Oh well. I am sure it's nothing maybe he has a day planned for Eri, so he called you over early to make sure they have the most time out for their plans." Uraraka says clearly hopefully but it still concerns me.
"I am still not sure it isn't about me because they did call my mother in."
"Oh," Uraraka says a little disheartened. But before I can try and cheer her up we are at the door.
"Ah, Young Midoryia! And Uraraka lets go in together. Your mother has already arrived!" booms a loud voice that belongs to my teacher and my hero. All Might.
"Hello, All Might!" Uraraka says with a brief smile and before I can even greet him Eri starts wriggling
"FUNNY HAIR!" She yells exploding with joy, without seeing her I know her face is brighter than the sun.
"Yes. Funny Hair is here." Sighs All Might with a smile grin, and with that the door opens revealing a room filled with way more people than I was prepared for. As I enter my eyes are drawn to Mr Aizawa behind his desk with his usual blank expression on his face, Then I notice Ms Joke sitting on his desk with a huge grin that she is known for. Next, I see Principle Nezu sitting in a chair next to Mr Aizawa's desk with a cup of tea in hand, finally a person with their back to me with matching hair to my own my mother.
"Ah your finally here. Your thirty seconds late Problem Student." Aizawa says,
"Sorry, sir." Uraraka and I respond,
"My fault I distracted Eri while they were on their way here." All Might says walking over and taking a seat next to my mother.
"Anyway. Midoryia please put down Eri we need to speak to you and your mother about an extremely serious issue. We expect that you will hear us out and will do whatever is required but will also think about this since this is not a small issue and could affect you for the rest of your lives." Aizawa starts which scares me his tone is serious, and his eyes are like daggers trying to strike me every second.
"Yes, it is an issue we thought you both should be notified to. But Mrs Midoryia will most likely have the final say so." Principle Nezu says as I put Eri down and in a flash, she has run over to Mr Aizawa's desk.
"We have discussed this issue amongst ourselves, but we must ask one last person before we ask you to make a decision." All Might states as he stands up and walks over to Eri and kneels.
"Mr Funny hair. Please, I hope I didn't cause an issue for Deku. I only had a nightmare I didn't mean to wake him up or stay up so late." Eri cries out, to which All Might reacts instantly, hugging the little angel.
"No no no. We thought that you might ask you if you wanted Izuku's last name. Midoyria. You would be Eri Midoryia, like Izuku." All Might says pointing straight at me which causes my heart to skip a few beats. But then it melts as I see the smile erupt onto Eri's face, a smile so bright it has blinded me. "Midoryia come on. Why are you crying."
Oh, I am blinded from my tears shit. I must look like an idiot.
I think before wiping my tears away to find my mother also crying rivers of tears just like mine.
"Like mother like son I guess." Mr Aizawa says shrugging which gets a snigger from both Uraraka and Ms Joke. It makes me smile to know how similar my mum and myself are.
"So Eri what do you think?" All Might asks,
"Yes, Yes Yes!" squeals Eri in the highest pitch I have ever heard, who is now jumping for joy in the middle of the room.
"Well, Mrs Midoryia. We would like to ask your permission to use your name for Eri. Eri will, however, be kept on school grounds with myself and Principle Nezu. You could visit her if you would like to, we want to give her a better life and for her protection, we need to give her a new last name. One that her relatives or knew what her Quirk was can't find her and use her again. Izuku here saved her from Overhaul, she feels safe around him. But it is up to you." Mr Aizawa says bluntly,
"Oh, babe don't forget. I will be moving to the school so I can look after Eri as well give her a good laugh." Ms Joke says with a quick wink that I almost missed to Eri.
"May I speak to Eri before I make my decision?" my mother asks standing up, to which Aizawa nods in response and so my mum walks over to Eri and kneels. "Eri. Who is your hero?" she asks softly as if Eri was glass and would shatter if she spoke too loudly.
"Mr Deku. He saved me. I even have a doll of him." she says holding a doll of me out in front of my mother to which she smiles, and I notice a small fire in her eyes. A fire I haven't seen since I was younger.
"She can have the name as long as Izuku says it's ok. She is just like Deku at her age. I am sure that one day she will follow in his footsteps and become one of the greatest and kindest heroes. I will be happy to help you raise her in any way I can." My mother says leaving me in utter shock, then I notice all eyes on me. All staring waiting for my response.
"Why do I have a say?" I ask looking at my mum.
"Because you are the last male with that last name here. You should have a say in who has your name. As I am sure in the future you will pick someone to ask to take your name in marriage." My mother states clearing up a large amount of my confusion floating around in my head.
"Eri. It would be my honour to share the last name Midoryia with you." I say with a smile,
A few minutes pass with me and Uraraka being ignored as the rest went over some paperwork with my mother and Eri. Leaving us to our own devices.
"That was really kind what you did. Your so lucky to have such a cute family member now." Uraraka says elbowing my arm, but as I open my mouth Eri leaps in front of me.
"Mummy Daddy!" she says pointing at both me and Uraraka, which causes my entire brain to stop functioning and apparently my body because I feel my legs give way and I fall backwards. Blacking out.
