Aizawa woke thanks to the girl jumping on the bed.
"Good morning uncle!" The girl chirped happily
Aizawa opened one eye slowly trying to adapt to the shining lights. He found himself surrounded by what it looked like several stuffed dolls.
"Get away from me and get ready to go out" Aizawa commanded without looking at the girl in a blue pajama.
Michiko pouted and tilted her head.
"Booooo, I wanted to play with uncle" Michiko said as she started rolling on the bed
"That's it. I'm sending you back to your mother's place" Aizawa got up and tried to catch the girl without success
(Is going to be a long day) the UA teacher thought as he brushed his teeth with a small girl observing him
"By the way, I don't know how did you enter in my apartment yesterday but it can count as illegal trespassing " Aizawa glared at the girl remembering that somehow, the girl's stuff was already inside when they entered yesterday with Toshinori
"I can unlock doors with my quirk. My mom hates it but papa says is useful! " Michiko replied from the kitchen
(My sister must had been getting crazy) Aizawa yawned while he saw the girl cook using her quirk
"Won't you get tired if you start using your quirk now?" Aizawa asked annoyed
"Maybe! But cooking with it is really easy" the girl jumped happily
"By the way, I think you didn't bring enough clothes. I believe you packed in a rush" Aizawa pointed at the little suitcase the girl had
"I did pack in a rush but still, I don't have many clothes here in Japan... we moved from France recently and I couldn't bring everything I wanted. Mom was getting insane with the time and so" Michiko's expression changed every time she talked about her mom
(They got discovered... probably someone recognized them) Aizawa thought as he observed the cheerful girl
"You need to get enrolled in a school if you plan to stay here. You can't just abandon your studies"
"I know!" The girl crossed her arms and showed her tongue to her uncle
"Whatever" Aizawa smiled at the girl for the first time in the morning
Toshinori was walking down the subway when he received Aizawa's text:
"She is killing me. I can't control her. I have a busy morning today, please help me look after her"
Toshinori's heart stopped. He would meet his daughter again earlier than he expected. The girl probably inherited his energy and that's why Aizawa was having troubles with her.
The blonde men with blue eyes and skeleton face awaited inpatient at the UA entrance. He saw when his girl arrived holding Aizawa's hand reluctantly.
"Uncle believes I am a child" the girl complained
"I know you well little brat. You would run in the very moment I took my eyes off of you" Aizawa replied using his big eyes to treat the girl
"Uncle is boring. You are a pro hero but you are boring" the girl protested
Aizawa rolled his eyes while Toshinori smiled widely. He couldn't love more his daughter cheeky personality.
"Anyway, you will be hanging around with him today ok? Behave" Aizawa gave the girl to the blonde men
"Who is he?" The girl asked as he pulled Toshinori's blonde hair
"Mr Toshinori, you should remember it" Aizawa yawned again.
"What a weird last name" the girl commented making Toshinori laugh
(You should get used to it, young girl) the blonde men thought
"You take care of her. Don't take your eyes off of her... she is... you will find anyway" Aizawa shook his head and left all Might with the young girl.
"Your uncle gave me a list of things to do with you this morning... we should get going ok?" Toshinori wanted to break the ice
"I guess so" The small girl replied as she held Toshinori's hand
The blonde men got surprised for a moment. Then he understood that probably the girl did it automatically since she was used to hold hands with her care takers.
"Maybe we should start with the clothes thing... shops must be almost emptied at this hour so it would be easier" Toshinori wanted to keep a conversation with his daughter but Michiko seemed to get distracted with everything she saw. Apparently, everything was more interesting than him.
"Ok" was the girl's distant answer
There was an awkward silence. The blue eyed man wanted to connect with the girl so badly but it seemed she had no interest at all. After all, for her, Toshinori was nothing but Aizawa's friend... and maybe not even friend.
"What kind of clothes you like?" The blonde men asked trying to make the girl speak a little more
"It doesn't matter. We can buy the first ones we see"
"You want to end this soon umm? Maybe, I am not the right person for this job after all... would you like to wait for Aizawa then? I guess your uncle can take you shopping after he finish his classes" Toshinori felt broken-hearted but he wasn't going to force the kid to love him.
"Why? It's not because of you... it's just that I don't like shopping. Just walking around lot of stores trying on clothes ... its not for me. I never get to pick my own clothes anyway; mom always choose whatever she likes" Toshinori could feel the girl's resentment towards her mother despite she was just talking about shopping and clothing.
"Is your mom that strict?" He asked without thinking twice
(I never would have guessed that pretty girl would get so strict with her daughter)
"She is a 'Helly' parent" Michiko replied pouting
"Helly? Sorry I am not familiar with the term"
"Helicopter. She keeps following me everywhere and she doesn't let me take my own decisions. I always do what she wants but..." Michiko frowned. It was evident: her relationship with her mother wasn't the best.
"Maybe she just love you too much" Toshinori tried not really knowing what to say after the girl's revelation
"Papa loves me ! And he doesn't try to change me! He likes the way I am! I don't know why my mom dislike me so much. She says she loves me but... it doesn't feel like that" the girl's eyes were teary.
(Shit! No no no no, don't cry! I cant handle that!) Toshinori's mind rushed
"Shouta Uncle loves me too. He says I am a nuisance but he cares about me a lot. When I was little he used to visit us a lot! He bought me gifts everytime he saw me" suddenly the girl was in a happy mood again. Toshinori relaxed.
"Let's make a deal. I will let you choose your own clothes. I promise I won't complain" The blonde man offered
"Really?"
"Sure!" Toshinori ruffled the girl's hair with love. She replied smiling.
"You are uncle's friend right? " Michiko asked while they crossed the street
"I don't know if 'friend' would be the best adjective" the skinny man laughed
"Can I call you uncle?"
"Uhm? S-sure" Toshinori blinked several times in awe. Was he that close to his girl already? His heart was happy.
"Uncle Toshinori" the girl tried
"It doesn't sound that good... you see maybe you should try 'uncle Yagi' "
"Uncle Yagi~~~" the girl said cutely.
(She is so cute. How can someone call her a nuisance? She is smart, kind, cute... maybe a little cheeky but that's part of her charm)
Toshinori observed the girl picking clothes. She seemed a bit confused first maybe because she wasn't used to choose by herself but after a few minutes she started selecting her clothing.
(So that's her taste uhm?) Toshinori thought as he observed the girl's new clothes
T shirts, long sleeve sweaters, pants, overalls, different kind of socks and a pair of sport shoes. Also the colors... called the new father attention.
"Don't you want a skirt? " Toshinori asked
"I don't like skirts. I don't like dresses either" Michiko giggled
(Almost half of her clothes are blue or red. Does she takes after me in that aspect?) The blonde man chuckled
"What's so funny?" Michiko laughed too
"Nothing, young girl"
"Don't call me 'young girl', please" Michiko started acting cute again
"Young Aizawa?" Toshinori wasn't sure of the girl's last name or how to call her. He wanted to call her 'daughter' but it wouldn't be correct.
"So funny!" The girl laughed louder. Toshinori felt good to make the girl so happy... until he heard the people worrying about the lights. The lights. He stared at the ceiling and noticed the change... so bright! The lights were brighter as the girl laughed.
(Is she doing this? This quirk... she is strong...)
"Girl, maybe you should relax a little or the people here will need sunglasses" Toshinori shook the girl a little
"Sorry! It happens when I am happy! I can't control it!" Michiko chirped. She relaxed after a few seconds and the lights returned to normal.
"Can I ask you something? I'm curious about your quirk" Toshinori decided that in order to help the girl he needed to know more about her quirk
"Ask everything you want"
"Tell me more about the emotion related thing" Toshinori thought that maybe the answer for the control could be the girl's emotions
"When I am happy, I make the light bulbs to get brighter. When I am angry or scared, I break things... glass is the most susceptible. When I am sad... I turn off everything close to me. I believe there is more but I can't remember about it" Michiko explained as she fixed her cute beanie
"It's a pretty good quirk! I bet you could be a good heroine some day" Toshinori said proudly.
"I don't want to become a hero" Michiko replied sadly
"Oh... my bad. Don't worry! You can become whatever you want" Toshinori felt a little sad that the girl didn't share the same dream that him.
"My mom says I am not suited to be a hero... and I agree with her" Michiko said sadly
"Oh. It's because of your quirk? I think is good enough"
"I think is good enough to hurt people instead of save it. People may get hurt if I get involved" Michiko sighed with sadness
"I believe you can control it if you try. You only need a little bit of practice that's all. Sorry if I sound a little optimistic... "
The girl smiled a bit.
"I will re think it then" she said. She held the blonde man hand again.
"By the way, your uncle asked me to help you enroll in school... which grade should I search for? Since you are thirteen years old then it must be around the first year of junior high school right?" Toshinori asked with his characteristic smile
"Nuh uh! I am not in junior high school" The girl shook her head frenetically
(Oh... is she still in middle school? I thought she wasn't the kind to have bad grades)
"You know... I haven't told uncle yet because he will get stressed about it but...I managed to skip three years. I entered senior high school this spring" The girl smiled
(What the... what's going on here? So... despite her age... she could be Izuku's classmate?) Toshinori went crazy
"To be honest I came here to be closer to Uncle Shouta since he helps me a lot with my quirk. So I was thinking about applying for the school he teaches in... I wasn't thinking about the hero's class just for you to know"
Toshinori felt his world move. He was getting dizzy. What was that feeling? He was proud, worried, happy, scared, nervous and more.
He only returned to his senses when he heard a big explosion sound and people screaming.
"Uncle look! That thing is falling!!" Michiko shouted from behind
(Not now... hell no...)
" Do you think all Might will come and save them?" The girl asked nervous
Toshinori looked at the girl with fear. He was feeling anxious since the girl was right there close to him in a dangerous situation. Suddenly, he understood what it meant being a father.
(Right now, you are my priority. I have to make sure you are safe first)
