Days later

it was a normal day for out green couple, tsuyu had gloves on while she was doing the dishes, izuku was reading the newspaper his fingers tips were all covered with band-aids which tsuyu was mildly curious as for the reason but she kept quiet as she trusted izuku to tell her eventually, while next to him Eri was doing homework, izuku glanced at his daughter with a small smile thinking at the events that brought her to his home*

Flashback

We see the 3 of them drinking tea at Momo's mansion*

Izuku:so what's this all about?

Momo:it's...about Eri

The room got a little less casual as izuku slowly puts his cup down he felt tsuyu's hand on his leg for a bit of support which he appreciated as he looked at momo*

Izuku:what about her?

Momo:i...might have scared her when i told her you were in the hospital she wants to live with you...

Izuku:i see...

Tsuyu:first and foremost she's not going to live with us permanently for a number of reasons the main one is your her mother you have as much right to see her and live with her as izuku and me so stop with the sad face you're not going to lose her Kero

as few involuntary tears fell from Momo's face as she took a breath of relief she didn't know she was holding, momo loves her daughter more then anything and would do anything for her even if it meant doing something heartbreaking like Eri living with izuku and not her*

Izuku:not to mention the minor stuff like her friends are here, we don't really have a room for her and would need time to make one or at least get a bed in the library/game room

Tsuyu:i think she might like the second option 14 years old and they get to sleep in a fully fleshed game room who wouldn't want that? Kero

Both izuku and momo raised there hands making tsuyu roll her eyes*

Tsuyu:you two don't count and you know it you're the exception Kero

Izuku:hey mom didn't have money for game systems and all that and with bakugo...being bakugo all i had was books from the library

Momo:my family wanted me to be well educated giving my quirk so they also didn't get me a game system

Tsuyu:which means your as bad as Zuku is playing he couldn't even get pass the tutorial stage

Tsuyu and momo giggled while izuku grew a blush and coughed annoyed*

Izuku:i still say you didn't give me the right instructions

Tsuyu:honey i told you move by move you're just bad Kero

Izuku:ANYWAY and the main reason is school how long does it take her to get from here to UA?

Momo:like 20 to 30 minutes depending traffic

Izuku:yeah where me and tsuyu lives is more like 2 to 4 hours

Momo almost did a spit take looking at the two*

Izuku:we live on the edge of the city for a reason momo that far away made it hard for people to find us

Momo: yeah i understand still it's... surprising but back to the main topic Eri really wants to start being with you more

Izuku: couldn't help but noticed you said "you" instead of the "two of you"

Momo winced at that giving tsuyu a sympathetic look*

Momo:yeah she's...not crazy about you she hasn't said anything but i can see she's struggling

Tsuyu:i saw it to and that's fine she just needs time to get used to me, but as for what Eri wants how about we go a little smaller and a bit more realistic, we pick her up on Friday and she stays until Sunday night Kero

Momo:that's sounds wonderful I'll have to move some things around but i can do that way better then the idea i had in mind

Izuku:oh? And what was you're idea?

Momo:...

Momo mumbled something blushing in embarrassment*

Tsuyu:Kero?

Momo:i...i thought you two could move in here ...

Momo said even more red feeling like a 7 year old in her answer her once polyamorous plan long gone when kyoka told her in so many ways why that would just not work with the 3 of them as momo would always feel like second best and that wouldn't be fair for her*

Izutsuyu:...

Momo:it was just a suggestion!!

Izuku:yeah...no offense mo, while you have been able to claw your way in to our live in the role of a friend us living here...

Tsuyu:is never gonna happened

Izuku:yeah...it has nothing to do with you it's more to the point of this place being to close to people we don't want to deal with not to mention i would have to move my shop and that's not happening the deal i have with the landlord is too good to pass up

After that the conversation became a bit more casual neither of the 3 noticed Eri hidding behind a wall with a small smile as she heard everything*

Back to the present

Izuku heard the ding of the washing machine and got up*

Tsuyu:don't use the dryer the fixer still hasn't come yet you're gonna need to put them on the strings out back

Izuku:got it

Izuku leave and tsuyu didn't miss Eri following izuku, tsuyu giggled as a picture of a mama duck izuku and baby duck Eri came in to mind*

With izuku and Eri

We see them putting the clothes out to dry when izuku stops and looks at Eri*

Izuku:alright spill it

Eri:huh?

Izuku:Eri honey i love you but you have a terrible poker face so just say it so that it doesn't eat you up inside

Eri: it's just... it's really bad you're not gonna like my question...

Eri mumbled looking away from him she felt izuku's hand on her shoulder as he kneeled down in front of her*

Izuku: you're my daughter Eri i promise i won't be mad please don't feel afraid to come do me when you need something

Eri:it's just...why do you love tsuyu...

Izuku:... You know a man by the name zachry K. Douglas once wrote "the broken will always be able to love harder then most. Once you have been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything that shines" that's what Tsuyu is for me I was in the darkest moments of my life in that jail i had specks of light around me like my mentor for the first 2 years, my mother, aunty and uncle when they found me but that wasn't enough. But then Tsuyu was there she was the biggest light i had while I was walking in the darkness if it wasn't for her? Well baby i would be a villain no 2 ways about it.

Eri gasped then gave an awkward laugh thinking izuku was joking, izuku glanced at Eri and with that glance Eri could tell he was telling the truth so she got quiet*

Izuku: i would've taken AFO's offer and taken his quirk and gotten revenge on everybody that betrayed me, on my former classmates and teachers i wouldn't have stopped until they were all dead

It got quiet for a bit as they both knew Eri would be in that kill list but they left it unsaid*

(*The author looking at everyone who wanted izuku to go down that path and take AFO*)

Izuku:if it wasn't for tsuyu i wouldn't have all this, no peaceful life, no annoying friends, no...well love in my life i would be a lonely miserable soul that got lost tsuyu found me and gave me the light i needed to stay on the path of good that's why I love tsuyu so much she saved me from going on a path i wouldn't be able to come back from and i feel like i did something similar to her. So i hope you can give her a chance honey

Izuku kissed eri's little horn like he did when she was young and got up and kept putting the clothes to dry. Eri just kept looking at him, she needed that she needed that light too she so wanted her father to be that light all she would have to do was to open her mouth and admit it, admit what she's been doing, admit what's been happening with her, admit she needs help, she opened her mouth but words won't come out fear started to set inside her heart as she just couldn't muster up the courage to ask for help not from his mother, not from aunty kyoka, and not from her own father. Eri just... Didn't feel important*

Eri"everyone has there own problems they don't need my useless problems to deal with my issues are nothing compared to what they all have..."

Eri thought as she rubbed her arm the feeling of wanting to use the box cutter started to itched through her body as it was slowly getting harder to control the urge but Eri was confident that she was in complete control of that situation so why worry about it. As Eri shook her head her mouth opened and another question came out instead of what she really needed to say, what came out of her made izuku stop what he was doing and look at her*

Eri:so you don't love mother?
