Uraraka POV:
"
Dear Diary,
It has been a while since I have written in here. I have been extremely busy these past few months since the Culture festival, it is finally December and it is the 21st. Eri's birthday. But not just that I have been so happy! Izuku is so kind, caring and he is the most perfect person ever. He wakes me up when I sleep in and he helps me to improve being a hero. But most of all he makes my heart leap out of my chest by doing little things, holding me, talking to me. Nothing has changed between us other than when we are alone, and we sit together making sure we are in physical contact. He makes me feel special.
But what is amazing is how he is with Eri, she loves him, and I think when we give her our present, she is going to be the happiest little girl."
I write into my diary, pouring my heart and soul onto the page, even though it's short I feel like I have spilled my entire heart on the page. I stand up cracking my stiff neck, as I do, I look over to my phone to see it is around 6:30 am.
Izuku should be awake now a bit to do his morning workout!
I think as my heart turns into a little girl of me jumping for joy. I stretch my arm and smile at the thought of my little green boyfriend in his workout clothes. As I do my cheeks explode with heat, to stop it I slap my cheeks and decide I might as well help him get ready for his workout and send him off.
I stand up closing my diary and wandering out of my dorm and down to the kitchen. As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I hear a loud bang. As I hear the bang, I see a ball of green, fly across my vision and into the wall. It takes a second for my brain to compute the vision of green before my eyes go wide with shock.
I look over to the crater in the wall seeing my loving boyfriend in a smouldering heap on the ground. My heart as I look tightens and I race to his side. My legs moving before I could even make them. I kneel to look at his face covered in black soot. As I touch his face, I watch his eyes slowly flutter open. I watch as his eyes go wide with shock.
"Ochaco?" he squeaks out,
"Yes, it's me," I say running my hand through his broccoli green hair, "What are you doing at 6 am?" I ask as I sit down properly placing his head into my lap still staring into green eyes.
"I was baking a cake for Eri's birthday, but something went wrong and the oven exploded sending me flying," he says smiling making my heart jump, I watch his head turn to look towards the kitchen when I see the devastation, "Oh no!" he cries as I notice that almost all the ingredients have been in one form or another been destroyed. Then I feel something wet on my lap, I return my gaze to my boyfriend to see tears starting to fall from his eyes,
"Izuku?" I ask concerned still stroking his hair,
"I ruined all the apples, all the other stuff we have spares, but the apples are the most important bit!" he cries out, returning his gaze to my eyes. His eyes filled with fear and sadness, making my heart sink and my body to go stiff. "We can't make the apple pie or the apple cake," he says as he continues to cry.
I pick him up and hold him, seeing him like this makes me extremely sad and extremely emotional. I feel like my world has shattered around me. I feel his tears drip onto my shoulder as I hold him trying to recompose myself.
Eri is going to be so upset, she loves Izuku if she sees him like this it would ruin her. Izuku no doubt will feel extremely guilty and feel like he has ruined her birthday. I must do something,
I think to myself as I rub my boyfriends back ignoring how muscly and toned it feels. "Izuku, if we leave now, we might make it in time to make the apple pie and cake with the help of Momo, come on handsome let's go get ready for a quick outing," I say starting to separate us.
As I do my gaze wanders to Izuku his eyes no longer watering and his eyes wide as if someone had given him a surprise birthday party. "Really?" he whispers in disbelief,
"Yes," I say kissing his forehead and watching as my green Broccoli races away leaving only aqua lightening.
His lightening he leaves behind is so cute!
I think as I quickly run upstairs and start getting changed ready for a quick outing with Izuku. I put on long jeans and a long-sleeved pink shirt, as well as grabbing my green winter jacket.
I then race as fast as I can back downstairs, as I reach the bottom, I see Izuku in his green leather jacket he wore on our first date. I smile at him before I go to stand next to him,
"Ochaco…." He starts stuttering out my name, "You look beautiful," he quickly whispers just loud enough for me to hear. Causing my cheeks to explode with heat and a smile to print itself onto my face.
"Thank you handsome," I say taking his hand trying hard not to let my heartbeat out of my chest and all over the floor.
Aizawa POV:
I am sitting staring at the pink present on the table, it is 8 am and my entire body is nervously fiddling. First, it was the forks and then the plates then the knives.
Why am I so nervous? It is a birthday present for Eri I don't understand why I am so nervous! Emi and I picked it. So, it should be perfect.
I think as I hear the sizzle of another pancake behind me being made, so with that, I start to fiddle with the present. As I start to touch the wrapping, I hear a sigh from behind me.
"Babe, please stop fiddling, let's talk about the wedding so you stop fiddling with everything," Emi says clearly done with my fiddling, "I love you babe but not your fiddling,"
"Alright, let's do that then," I say turning around to stare at the back of my sea green fiancé, as she moves gracefully through the kitchen, "Let's start with when," I say,
"Hmm, I want it to be a spring wedding, outside near the cherry blossoms," Emi starts as I imagine the cherry blossoms falling as she walks down the aisle, which sends shivers down my spine.
"That sounds perfect so in Spring break after school has gone out," I say agreeing with my lovely Fiancé ideas.
"Yes, and we must invite some or all your students, it will be nice, I know you have grown attached," Emi teases, "Especially Izuku, he is a good kid," Emi says which surprises me,
"You like him without even speaking to him that much?" I ask confused,
"Yeah, I can just tell he is a good kid," She says just as I hear small footsteps, as I turn my head I am greeted by the sight of a very half-asleep Eri in her little white nightgown, trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes.
"Good Morning Eri," I say turning fully around and bringing the present closer to the empty chair next to me, "Happy Birthday!" I say giving her a small smile.
As I do, I watch her eyes go wide in surprise, then she points to the pink box, to which I nod. She climbs up on the chair next to me and starts tearing apart the wrapping paper. I watch as the pink wrapping paper flies around and then floats to the ground like little pink paper snow. As the last piece of paper is torn away from a large soft toy All Might can be seen.
"It's from me and Emi, we hope you like it, apparently they are really popular this year, Midoryia I know will like it when you show him," I say just as Emi places a large plate of pancakes with a sliced apple on top in front of Eri. Her eyes go wide with surprise,
"Happy Birthday Eri," Emi says as she wraps her arm around my shoulder as we both watch her shovel pancakes into her mouth, as she does she starts crying.
"What's wrong Eri?" I ask leaning forward,
"So happy, no one has ever given me a present on my birthday!"
Momo POV:
"Alright so who is staying the day since it is a Saturday," I say wandering downstairs,
As I enter the room, I see my boyfriend breathing fire from his mouth in the kitchen, causing a small giggle to escape from my mouth. I turn to see Iida using his quirk to race around the lounge room, hanging streamers and balloons. So, I wander over to my boyfriend and see a list next to him, clearly written by Iida.
"Did you finish wrapping your present for her?" Todoroki asks, breaking my concentration on the list,
"Yes, I did, you are adding your part was really smart she is going to love it," I say just thinking of that tiny angel opening her presents tomorrow. "So, we have us, Mrs Midoryia, Mr Aizawa, Miss Joke and All Might attending Eri's birthday party," I say returning to look at the list,
"Yes, Kirishima wanted to be here but his brother is here and so he caught up with him before he goes back to France or was it Finland? Also, Nejire and Mirio are off to see Mirio's Parents since they are in town for one night," Todoroki says, just as I hear a bang,
I turn my head to see Midoryia and Uraraka hand in hand at the door, looking like popsicles. Then I notice what is in Midoryia's hand, a bag of apples. I watch as he marches towards me like a soldier almost dragging Uraraka along,
"Please help me make apple pie and Eri's cake!" he pleads bowing his head before me causing me to raise an eyebrow at Shoto to which he just shrugs.
"Of course, let's get to work,"
Izuku POV:
It was about midday when we returned, but the hours flew by after that. Hours in the kitchen, making apple-based products and a stew. Momo's help was instrumental, she helped me make the apple pie in record time and monitored the oven to make sure no more explosions occurred. As we worked in the kitchen, I would steal gazes as my friends would race around the room hanging streamers and balloons from anything and everything they could reach or float to.
"Midoryia, mind passing me the next batch of Candy apples so I can cool the toffee on the apples?" my half red, half white-haired friend asks, snapping me out of my own little world.
"Sorry, I am off with the pixies," I say handing him the next batch of mini candy apples, just as I hear the front door unlatch.
As I turn my head, I see the bright blonde hair of my idol, All Might, with a bright yellow pinstripe suit. Then I see a hair just like mine, as my eyes wander down, I am greeted by the sight of my darling mother,
"Izuku dear come here!" she calls holding her hands out for a hug,
"Hey mum," I say walking over and giving her a big hug,
"You have grown! For sure your almost taller than me!" she exclaims releasing me from our embrace.
"Thanks, mum, you should go take a seat on the couch, you too All Might, we are just preparing dinner and waiting for the birthday girl herself," I say motioning to the couch, which they accept and I head back to the kitchen to make another batch of mini candy apples,
"He has grown so much since I met him. He is quite an amazing boy your son is, you raised him right! I am proud to think that one day soon he will be my successor," All Might says extremely loud so everyone can hear, which gets a nudge from Shoto. As I look over to him, he grins,
"Secret love child," he whispers causing me to go red in embarrassment, but before I could say another word, I hear the front door again. I look up and I see Mr Aizawa, Miss Joke and Eri all walk in, not a second later we begin to sing.
"Happy Birthday to Eri!
Happy Birthday to you!"
As we sing, we all move closer together to surround the little angel all at once, I see her cheeks grow red and she tries to hide her face. As we finish, we all give her smiles brighter than the sun.
"Hey there, would you like your presents?" Momo asks, as she pulls out a box from behind her back, which as a response Eri gives furious nodding. "Here you go princess Eri, this is from me and Shoto," she says handing over the box.
I watch Eri tear through the paper, watching her tear through it makes my heart start to swell up in my chest and start feeling truly happy. As the last piece of paper falls away a collection of small apple beauty products, then something that makes my heart skip a beat.
A smaller version of me with Eri on my back. I watch Eri as she ignores the beauty products and picks up the doll of me, "DEKU! DEKU WITH ME!" She squeals and jumps for joy while my heart squeezes almost stopping all blood from being pumped.
"Would you like another present?" Iida asks, kneeling to Eri's height and pulling out a rather book like present,
"More?" she asks confused,
"Yes, Eri it's your birthday," Miss Joke says encouraging the little girl, which causes the little girl to nod to Iida and take the book like present. She tears through the paper as she did with the present before. She holds up a book, which the title says,
"Heroing basics, for young inspiring heroes,"
"I thought you may want to be like Deku when you are older so I thought you could start learning now," Iida says as he adjusts his glasses on his nose again and giving Eri a small smile before stepping back into the group.
"I have a present for you," All Might says kneeling on one knee in front of Eri,
"I got a Mr Funny hair doll today," she says nodding furiously at All Might, causing me to sigh at Eri's nickname for my idol.
"That is wonderful Eri, I hope you like it," All Might says giving her a nice big grin before handing over a small box and an envelope. "Now I got inspired by watching Deku training and since he is your favourite, I hope you will like it,"
As he speaks Eri opens, to show a necklace with a fist attached made of red and green gems, my eyes go wide with shock as I look at the extremely expensive piece of jewellery. The chain and everything else is silver.
"Wow," I say,
"The red is like when Deku activates his full cowling and the green is like his hair," Eri says smiling, causing my heart to start wanting to thump out of my chest.
I am not sure how much more adorable Eri I can take!
I think as I watch her open the envelope, as she opens it, I feel the entire room stops moving all eyes locked on the slip of paper. My muscles all frozen into place; my eyes glued to the check.
"Well this I thought would be a good idea, it's not much in the grand scheme of things for me, two million US dollars. I think that would be enough for her entire education," All Might says shattering the silence that had enveloped myself and the room. "I doubt that Eri Midoryia will stay with Mr Aizawa and Miss Joke when Young Midoryia graduates, and I know how hard it is for a beginner hero lacking funds and resources, it would be even harder with this little angel. So, it is just pocket change for me so don't think much of it," All Might say chuckling as I start to regain control over my body,
"Well I am going next," My mother says walking forward and placing a small present in front of Eri.
If I know my mother this should be a jumper or sweater, she made me one at the same age and at the time it was way too big for me.
I think, remembering my seventh birthday many years ago. As I do, I watch the little girl tears apart the paper, to reveal just that a sweater that looks way too big for her now. "Wow Eri," Momo says as she holds up the Sweater, it is red with a green "Midoryia," written across it.
"I thought since she is part of the family now she should have one of our sweaters, I have been knitting it for close to two months now so I hope you like it," my mother says giving Eri a warm smile before stepping back into the circle.
"Uraraka is our present down here?" I ask her, stepping to stand beside her.
"Yes, I put it over by the kitchen so she wouldn't see it straight away," Uraraka says pointing to the side of the kitchen I wasn't working in. So, with that, I quickly collect the present and step forward with Uraraka,
"We have a joint present for you," I say bending down to Eri to hand her the large present, as before she tears through the paper to reveal Uraraka and mines present.
"We didn't know how many new clothes you had so we found a large collection of our old clothes and put them together," Uraraka says as Eri holds up my old All Might onesie, causing me to blush a little out of embarrassment.
"FUNNY HAIR ONESIE!" Eri yells before she suddenly stops and begins to tremble violently, her eyes latched to the bottom of the present.
She has spotted it already.
"We also have another part at the bottom which I think you have already spotted, we had Mei make a kid's friendly version of both of our hero costumes," I say smiling as I watch her continue to tremble and pick up a smaller version of my hero costume.
"Please Please Please let me put it on!" she asks Mr Aizawa as she starts to jump for joy,
"How about tomorrow, I can let you go and train with Midoryia and Mr Funny hair and he can wear his hero costume together," Mr Aizawa says rubbing Eri's hair, making her eyes start to sparkle like the millions of fireworks I watched with Uraraka at the Culture Festival.
"Ok," She says as Mr Aizawa wanders over to the kitchen and Eri starts racing around the room giving everyone a big bear hug before getting to me.
She stops staring at me with her sparkling eyes, before racing at me, forcing me to catch her and pick her up. Before she snuggles into my neck,
"Thank you Deku, I love you," she says wrapping her little arms around my neck,
"I love you too little one," I say as she gives me a small peck on the check getting an awe from everyone in the room. But I am too caught up in this little girl's cuteness to be embarrassed or notice Uraraka's arms wrap around my waist.
"Happy Birthday!" Mr Aizawa says placing the apple birthday cake Infront of Eri and I.
"Happy Seventh Birthday!" we all say as I bend down just enough so Eri could blow out her seven candles.
