"Okay Eri you need to sleep now" Midoriya groaned.

"But I'm not tired and I don't...
I don't want you to leave" She cried.

"I'm not leaving you forever I'm going to be back" Midoriya sighed as he tried to force her off gently.
She was hugging the side of his leg not letting him move.
Midoriya had already changed into his hero outfit so he knew she wasn't burning.

Eri had gotten attached to Midoriya quite fast, it was the first time anyone had ever treated her with care.
It was the first time she wasn't thrown to the side.

She didn't want to lose him...

"How do I know you're going to be back?"

"Because I live here and you live here too??"

She still refused to let go.

Midoriya sighed as he used telekinesis to force her off his legs.
He squatted down beside her.

"Eri.
I'm not abandoning you.
I just have to go to work."

"I wanna come"

"You cant.
You're 4 and need sleep."

"I don't wanna be alone!"

That when it hit Midoriya, "she doesn't want to be left alone because she's scared no one's going to be able to protect her.
Hm"

Midoriya plucked out one of his feathers and gave it to her.

"You see this feather?" He asked.

She nodded her head.

"If you're ever in trouble, blow on it and I'll find you.
Besides.

You're worried about being alone, right?" Midoriya asked.

She nodded her head as she took the feather.

"I'll get Hawks or Kacchan to babysit you.
However, I need you to make a big promise"

"What is it?"

"Don't bring up anything about what I told you earlier.
Pretend I never told you anything.
That way, you'll never be alone.
Alright?"

"I promise!!"

"Okay then.
Give me a minute to call them.
Which one do you want to come over?"

"Who?"

"Do you want the other guy with wings or the guy with blond spiky hair to come over?"

"Uh...
Both...?"

"I'll see if that's possible I guess".
He pulled out his phone as Eri looked at the feather in her hand with awe.
It had so much detail and it was kinda sharp.
It was like a dagger.

She had to keep transitioning it from hand to hand however, despite the fact Midoriya made sure the feather wasn't on fire, it was still hot from previously being on fire.

(Btw.
The flames on Midoriya aren't like endeavor's.
Instead it's like the bottom tip and the inner edge of his black wings that are a glowing light blue.
However, when the feather becomes individual it does have flames like endeavor's)

Midoriya noticed her struggle and took it from her until it cooled down.

"Hey Hawks"

"Izuku it's 11:55pm...
Why are you calling.
I'm a morning bird" Hawks groaned.

"I need you to watch Eri, I'm about to go on shift and I can't leave her alone or take her with m-"

"I'll be there in 3 seconds"
Hawks ended the phone call.
