hours later
Eri heard the door opening and closing she didn't move still hugging her legs, her cuts long since rewinded and box cutter placed inside the book under the bed, Eri heard shuffling getting closer to her and a grunting sound as her father sat in front of her*
Eri:I'm sorry...
Eri mumbled softly making izuku give a small chuckle*
Izuku:it's not me who you should be apologizing
Eri:...i know...
Izuku:want to talk about it?
Eri:no...
Izuku just moved to sit next to eri puting his arm on her shoulder, Eri stopped hugging herself and cuddled closer to him still looking at the ground*
Izuku:you know when you were so young, remember? You were in the hospital and i would sneak in to you're room to make sure you weren't alone
Eri giggled at the memory since it what cemented in eri's mind that izuku was her father*
Eri:yeah Mr. Aizawa and nezu would be so mad the next day seeing you there with me sleeping on you're chest but every time you had to leave...
Izuku:i would look at you kiss your little horn with a smile and say "don't listen do them I'll be back tonight no matter what" i got in so much trouble doing that every night until they just gave up on me visiting you, me adopting you... boy that was a whole nother battle
Eri: you've never told me about that
Izuku:not much to tell, you wanna hear it?
Eri:please...
Izuku:well it was after classes ended me and you're mother went to Nezu's office and...
Flashback
Nezu:no.
Izuku:I'm not taking no for an answer
Nezu:well I'm not going to give you anything else, Mr. Midoriya you are far too young to raise a child not to mention it will affect you're studies
Izuku:pardon my french but bullshit, I'm a top A student in every subject, I'm ranked number 2 behind momo yaoyorozu, even if it does affect my studies i would still be in the top 5 which i couldn't give less of a fuck about my rank
Nezu: still no, you don't have any way of taking care of her
Momo:. . .you do realize I'm momo yaoyorozu right? Like the richest family in Japan? I have more then enough money to take care of her
Aizawa:still no, not only no but absolutely no
Izuku and momo turned around and saw his homeroom teacher Aizawa leaning against the doorframe*
Aizawa:she needs to be placed...
Izuku:with you?, Nezu sir you can't possibly think that's a good idea the man can barely take care of himself!
Nezu:. . . He's got a point there I've seen days where you're lunch is just cereal
Izuku:unlike me who makes every day homemade bento boxes for me and momo so i can cook
Momo;it's true and he makes sure they're nutritious
Izuku:we have the financial capacity, and we know for a fact that you can make my room big enough for 3 people you did it when momo "convinced" you to make us live in the same room
Momo:very true Eri needs a loving family not to be treated as if she's some dangerous super weapon
Nezu:you have a lot of good arguments by my answer remains the same no. If her quirk gets out of control
Izuku: oh don't give me that crap, her quirk only goes out of control when she is stressed and scared things she will be if she lives with sensei Aizawa i mean look at him and tell me there's a god
Momo:and that he is a loving god to make a man like sensei aizawa
Aizawa:uncalled for
Momo:i would say having the whole class and you're husband professor mic. Have to chase you down just to give you a bath and wash your clothes uncalled for and yet we were forced to do it,
Izuku:again he can barley take care of himself he is in no way fit to be a parent
Nezu:maybe but this isn't about parenting, Eri is dangerous and she will stay with Aizawa to neutralize that threat
Izuku: dangerous she's fucking 5!!
Izuku stood up slamming his fist to the table breaking it he never looked away from nezu giving him a hateful glare*
Nezu:and with an uncontrollable quirk
Izuku:listen you...
Nezu:this conversation is over Midoriya, yaoyorozu, please leave my office.
Momo was about to protest but izuku put his hand on her shoulder*
Izuku; honey wait for me outside for a moment trust me
Momo looked at izuku for a moments before kissing him for good luck and leaving the room, izuku gave a cold glare at nezu, playing nice was over it was time to go for the jugular*
Izuku:...answer me one more question before i go
Nezu:very well
Izuku: you say she's dangerous but tell me what's More dangerous, Eri or Japan and possibly the world going in to mass panic
The room got tense as nezu kept his neutral smile drinking his tea*
Nezu:oh? Could you elaborate?
Izuku; I'll spell it out for you, either give me the papers to make Eri my daughter or i will tell the world the secret only a select few know, you're smart enough to know the chaos that will bring so what's it gonna be?
Present
Eri:you...you were willing to tell the world about OFA, to be my father?
Izuku:i was willing to watch the world burn to be your father, Eri the moment i saved you i knew you were my child and i would do anything for you, i would sacrifice anything for you, so would momo and so will tsuyu, she wants to be part of you're life she wants to be there for you but you need to meet her half way, I'm not forcing you I'm just asking you to have a bit of a open mind
Eri let those words sit inside her brain for a bit she knew her father spoke the truth, but that doesn't make things any easier, Eri sighed softly*
Eri:I have to apologize to he don't i...
Izuku:yes you do...
Eri:dad...do...do you remember the song?
Izuku didn't need any more explanation whenever Eri was scared or stressed at night he would sing to her a very special song one his father Chizome sang to him and the melody never left his mind when he was a baby, and later on in life he found the song and used it for eri. Izuku started humming the melody as Eri closed her eyes even if izuku was singing Acapella she could almost hear the music with the song as she slowly left this world and in to the world of dreams*
Inside Eri's dreams
Izuku:Dancing Bears...Painted Wings...
Eri opened her eyes and looked around she was back in the hospital back to her small self of 10 years ago only she was wearing a dress*
Izuku:Things I almost remember.
And a song someone sings
Eri looked up and there he was her father smiling brightly at her giving her his hand, which Eri takes*
Izuku:Once upon a December. Someone holds me safe and warm.
Eri hopes her little Feet on top of izuku's feet as they start having a father daughter dance*
Izuku:Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory...
The dream fades to black as izuku disappeared and Eri starts falling in to the abyss she could still hear izuku's singing as flashes of her memory flew by her*
Izuku:Far away,
Long ago,
Memories of eri hating izuku burning everything he gave her*
Izuku:Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Memories of eri warming up to shoto Todoroki as he trains her how to be a hero*
Izuku:Used to know
Once upon a December...
Eri finally reached the ground as she slowly got up she is horrified at the memory that laid before her, one of the memories that fills her with guilt. A memory that breaks her heart. the memory of herself calling shoto Todoroki "dad" while she hugged him, . Eri screams but no sound came out as tears start falling from her face and she closes her eyes tightly*
Izuku:Someone holds me safe and warm.
Eri felt someone holding her in a hug making her feel warm*
Izuku:Horses prance through a silver storm.Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.
Izuku's voice was but a whisper as Eri looked up and saw current izuku holding her*
Izuku:Far away,
Long ago, Glowing dim as an ember,
Izuku smiled at her not as brightly as all those years ago time took away that brightness from him but it didn't take away the lovingness she felt*
Izuku:Things my heart Used to know
Things it yearns to remember
Eri hugs izuku back hiding her face from the world, hiding from the memory that fills her with guilt and disgust as she felt izuku rubbing her back*
Real world
We see izuku holding eri's sleeping form and putting her in the bed covering her up with a blanket*
Izuku:And a song someone sings...
Izuku kissed her little horn as he turned on the a/c and walked away*
Izuku:Once upon a December...
Izuku softly closed the door, walking to the table he saw Tsuyu setting the table*
Tsuyu:is Eri going to join us? Kero
Izuku:nah just fell asleep she's going to need a big breakfast tomorrow
Tsuyu:i cooked today tomorrow's your turn honey kero
Izuku:i know i know still it's a shame what you made today smells just heavenly love
Tsuyu:you say that every time kero
Izuku:want me to stop saying it?
Tsuyu:not on you're life Kero
Izuku chuckle giving Tsuyu a peck on the cheek as they sat down and enjoyed there dinner while having light conversation enjoying each other's company*
