The Absorbing Hero

School Festival

Y/N POV

Eri runs to me hugging my legs.

Eri: "I missed you."

Y/N: "I missed you too."

Blond: "I've never seen her like this."

Deku: "No kidding. Seems she likes you."

Asui: "Stands to reason. He was the one to rescue her."

Y/N: "So how've you been?"

Eri: "Sad when I didn't see you at the hospital. But now I'm happy."

Bakugo: "Who's the pipsqueak?"

She hides behind my leg as I face Bakugo.

Y/N: "Easy Bakugo. She's with me."

Bakugo: "Alright then."

Mina: "Aww, she's so cute."

Her and some others surround her.

Momo: "What's your name little one?"

She barely peeks past my leg.

Eri: "E-Eri."

Y/N: "Easy everyone. She's doesn't like new people."

Eri: "Are they your friends?"

Y/N: "Yes."

Mineta: "So you do care about someone other than yourself."

I glare at him thwipping my head. He's then electrocuted.

Mineta: *coughs out smoke* "Not cool."

Eri: "If they're your friends,"

She comes out of hiding.

Eri: "Then they're my friends too."

She holds out her hand.

Eri: "Hello. My name is Eri, nice to meet you all."

Everyone: "She's so cute!!!"

Deku: "Say Y/N. You gonna be in the school festival?"

Bakugo: "Look at his arms nerd. He can't do much."

He develops a smile.

Bakugo: "By technicality this means I'm now stronger than you."

Y/N: "In your dreams nerd."

Bakugo: "That's my line!!!"

Everyone laughs. We then hear groaning. We look to see Eri struggling.

Y/N: "Whatcha doing?"

Eri: "Trying to smile."

She keeps trying before hanging her head.

Eri: "I don't know how to."

I kneel down causing her to look at me.

Y/N: "You'll smile when the time's right. So don't force it okay?"

She nods as I stand looking at the others.

Y/N: "As for your question, no. Since my arms are out of commission I'm reduced to a watcher."

Mina: "That's fine. We're just glad you'll at least be there."

Y/N: "While we're on the subject. What're y'all even doing?"

Kirishima: "We're gonna put on a totally awesome music show!!!"

Y/N: "I feel bad the audience's ears."

They all roll their eyes except Bakugo.

Bakugo: "Say what you want. But everyone's gonna be speechless after I'm done."
