The Demons within

"Wait...
Deku's back!?" Eri shouted in dismay.

Sero and Kaminari gritted their teeth as they watched Eri drop her bookbag and go running up the stairs.
She ran all the way to midoriya's room and knocked on the door.

"Go away" Midoriya groaned.

"Deku!?" Eri shouted.
Midoriya jolted his head up, "Eri!?"

"It's me! When did you-" Eri was cut off when Midoriya removed the demonic lock and opened the door, allowing her to come in.

Once she was in he shut and locked the door again.
Aizawa had to reinstall the door due to privacy reasons.

Tears were streaming down Eri's face as she hugged Midoriya.

"Why are you crying...?" He asked.
"I m-missedd you s-so much" Eri hiccupped.

Midoriya hugged her back and sighed, "I'm sorry Eri"

"W-why are you saying sorry? I-its t-the class's f-fault y-you jumped"

"Because I left you here to deal with the class on your own.
It was selfish of me."

Midoriya patted Eri's back and handed her a napkin.
Eri wiped her face off and stopped crying.

"Now.
How was school...?" Midoriya asked trying to lighten the mood.

"Same old same old..."

"They're still picking on you??" Midoriya asked, anger filling him up.

"..." Eri didn't respond, she just looked at the ground quietly.

Midoriya sighed, "alright Eri.
Disregard everything I told you about holding back in the past.

Beat them up"

"Eh!? I can't do that!"
"Yes you can"
"No I can't"
"Yes you can, and you will the next time they mess with you"

"But I can't! I'll get in trouble..."

Midoriya sighed, "I guess you aren't wrong.
Fine then.

You won't be fighting them back" Midoriya said tapping on her head, activating demonic power.

He wasn't casting a spell on her to make her violent, it was actually quite the opposite.
He casted a protection spell.

If anyone tried to hurt Eri a demonic bubble would incase her and save her.

"I'm sorry Deku, I just can't fight them...
What if my quirk spirals out of control and I kill them like how I accidentally killed my dad"

"I understand, you don't have anything to worry about anymore." Midoriya checked the time, it was 4:30pm.

"You should go to your dorm room and get changed up, you're still in your school uniform."

"Okay Deku, thanks for coming back" Eri said, walking out the door.
Midoriya let a sigh escape his lips as he crashed back down onto his bed, looking the door again using his demonic power.

"You were so sly with casting that protection spell even I wouldn't have picked up on it if I wasn't paying attention" demon Izuku scoffed.

"That'll teach the stupid kids." Midoriya grumbled.

"So what're you going to do?
If the class supposedly goes back to bullying you?" Demon Izuku asked.

"I'll fight back, though something tells me some individuals won't try to mess with me"

"Oh?
Like who?"

"Kacchan.
He sure does hate me, but he feels guilty to the point where it thickens the atmosphere he's in.
I don't forgive him, he was my second reason for a reason.
