How I Met Your Father(Completed)

Chapter 8

Father and I came upon an alleyway. It was unoccupied. "Oi! Eri!" Father called. Suddenly a slender figure descended from the buildings. The figure was female, clad in a skin-tight suit with solid green and lighter green trims. Her white boots came up to the knees and a blood-red cape flowing in the wind. "Watchu want, boss?" She asked with annoyance. Boss!? Wait, is Dad really in a Yakuza? Oh god... Well, might as well join cuz I'd rather not die.

"Hey, Eri. How's Kota?" Father asked the hero. "None of your god damn business and who the hell is she?" She looked down at me, a burning passion or maybe hatred in her blood-red eyes. I slightly hid behind my Father, at least I felt a little less unprotected. "She's kinda cute..." She whispered under her breath. She called me cute... I can die peacefully now. She walked closer with a glare and then a scowl. She looked up at Father.

"You replaced me!? That's messed up, big bro!" She pouted, cheeks puffed and a blush rising through flesh. Big bro? Wait a minute. She then grabbed him by the arm and dragged him, "He's my brother and you can't have him." She fumed. Dad chuckled.

"Eri, firstly, shut the hell up. Secondly, this is my daughter." Father explained, breaking away from her and ushering me to his side. She was stunned for a moment but then squinted, examining my features. "She does look you..." She took a deep breath a released a beautiful, ear to ear smile.

"Hi! I'm Eri Aizawa!" She beamed. Aizawa... Izuku Aizawa. Eri Aizawa. "Oh my god, your siblings!?" I shouted allowed, momentarily covering my mouth after. "That's right! I'm your Auntie Eri!" She cheered with a wide smile. I flashed an awkward smile but then I felt her thin, warm arms encompass me. "I'm sorry Izuku left ya. He didn't mean to upset ya at all." She apologized, nestling her head to my back. "I-i'm not upset..." I stuttered as she released me. I glimpsed at Father, his eyes were fixated on me and... Auntie... "I'm just sad," I muttered. "Well, guess what. Since your Dad is letting me see you, that means you can meet the rest of our family!" The rest? She looked at father as if expecting objection. "We're getting to that, Eri," Father said softly. "So, tell me about ya self." My aunt demanded politely. "Well... I'm a really big fan!" I blurted. She chuckled. "Glad to hear. I assume your idiot-dad hasn't told you a lot about his side of the family, has he?" I shook my head. 

After a little time of talking passed when Father got a phone call. "I'm needed elsewhere." He announced. My heart panged with disappointment. "B-but, I t-thought..." My voice faulted as he stepped closer. I looked to my feet, my eyes almost blurring. He kneeled down to my height. I could stare directly into his freckled and scarred face, his cracked, jewel green eyes. "Hiashi has a field trip tomorrow so I'll pick you up from school tomorrow. It'll be just you and me," He offered. "Would you like that?" I nodded my head candidly. He smiled and kissed my cheek. "Love you, Nana."

"I... love you too, Father."

I'm not sure how to describe the relationship between Mei and me. Are we in love? Are we dating? Well, all I know is that... I'm happy. I placed her tray on the table and sat down with mine, across from her. "Thanks, Baby." She smiled. Am I one of her trinkets or machine perhaps? It doesn't matter. "You're welcome," I replied, taking a bite of my food. I felt her eyes burning into my skull, then her feet gently brushing against mine under the table. Her foot trailed up my leg, almost causing me to choke on my food. "Something bothering you, Baby?" She purred. "No." I lied. She giggled and began stroking my inner leg with her bare feet. She's teasing me and doing a good job at that. "So, do you enjoy our relationship?" She queried, beginning to consume her meal.

"It's pleasant." I replied promptly. "What about it is, pleasant." She further questioned. "You... Understand me. You listen to me." I answered. "That's not a relationship. That's therapy." She sternly stated. I looked her in the eyes. "I don't know what we are." I commented. "Izuku, you're my... Oh dear, I guess we didn't really define our relationship." She gasped, then placed her hand on her cheek and elbow on the table.

"Wanna be my boyfriend?" She asked casually with a slight bit of sarcastic tone. I paused. "Why are you interested in me?" I inquired. "Your hot, your strong, you a gentleman, you're kind, smart, sometimes funny and heck, you're like a lost puppy." She answered. Atleast she's honest. "Are you interested in me?" She asked in return. I nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

I flashed a small smile, much to her surprise. "Nothing." I said. She smiled back, without the usual insanity in her eyes. It was warm, soothing and most of all, genuine. I got up with my food, walked around and sat beside her. "What was that for?"

"Your foot is quite active." I replied. "Or did you just wanna hide the boner?" She teased. "It's takes more than a little tease to do that, Mei." I reminded her. "Oh really?" She whispered mischievously. She then leaned over and pecked my cheek. I left a tingling sensation on my skin.

She went back to eating. Before I could respond, Uraraka and Iida sat opposite to us. "Midoriya-kun, mind if we sit here?" Iida asked. "May as well." I grimaced.

"Hatsume-san, you look well." Iida noted. "Mhm." She hummed. "So, Deku," Uraraka called. "Yes, Uraraka?" I responded. "You two seem really close."

"So?" I asked. "I mean, we literally broke up last week. You can't seriously be dating so early." She said. I raised an eyebrow. "I could say the same about you and Iida." I responded.  He then gave me a pitiful look, as if saying, "Please, don't drag me into this. I don't even want to be here." I can respect that so I nodded.

"No. We're not. But, you are. Aren't you." She inferred. I was about to give another ambiguous question when Mei blurted, "He's my boyfriend." He tone was strict and formal. She was challenging Uraraka. "Excuse me?"

"He's my boyfriend. As a matter of fact, he's my baby. My little baby boy. Or would you prefer if I called him my toy? Hmm?" She taunted. "He's not a toy to be played with." Uraraka seethed. "Exactly. He's my toy to be played with. And what fun he is." Mei quipped suggestively. I couldn't help but stifle my laughter. I'm not going to lie, she's kinda hot when possessive. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyelids fell half closed but not in a sleeping manner.

Her mouth was ajar, ready to respond and criticize. "She's manipulating you. She's using you." Uraraka said to me. "We're using each other." I replied after some time. Mei snickered. "As if." She huffed. "The media won't stand for this y'know. They need a strong female paired with their war hero." Uraraka commented with a plain smile.

Mei smirked. "I lift twice my weight, girl. Don't test me." Uraraka growled, "Not what I meant."

Mei then stood up and shouted, "Hey!" She got the attention of everyone. "Yo! I'm dating this dumbass. Y'all got a problem with that?"

"Nah girl, you lucky!"

Mei sat back down.

"So can a girl take yo man?"

"Screw you. I bet he's the only guy you've ever dated."

"Mhm. That's right cuz I'm not a hoe. Maybe if you got rid of that yee yee ass bob-cut you'd get some boys running too ya. Oh, better yet, maybe Bakugo or Kaminari will call you bitch ass." I could barely contain myself but then Mei rose her middle finger. "Bitch-ass hoooe."

I bursted on laughing, much to the surprise of those around me. "I'm sorry... Bahaha.... I'm not making fun of you but dayum. Ahahahahahahababaha."

"Izuku, you need to stop laughing. It's not nice." Mei demanded, kicking my shin. My laughter died to fits chuckling. Uraraka left in a furious strut. Iida quietly excused himself.

"You went a bit too far." I said.

"Don't care."
