Erased Individuality

A Strong Introduction == Introducing the Strongest

"Ok...ready?"

After their detour, the pair had finally arrived at Midoriya Izuku's dorm room.

Izuku reached to open the door, but before he could turn the knob...

Izuku froze.

Because what lay behind this door wasn't simply Midoriya Izuku's dorm room.

This was also where a certain girl resided.

Ochako briefly gave Izuku a run down of who Eri was and how they met.

She was a little girl that Midoriya Izuku saved from hell.

She was someone who Midoriya Izuku cared for.

But more than that she was someone who needed Midoriya Izuku.

But Midoriya Izuku was gone.

The boy that saved her had died in the battle against the Hero Killer.

When he opened this door what she would see would only be a hollow shell, only something that looked like her saviour.

A fraud.

The knob finally turned, and the door creaked open.

"Ocha-ocha?"

A cute little girl no older than 7 timidly peeked behind the couch.

"Tadaima!" Izuku greeted with a smile.

Red eyes grew wide, and a little girl tumbled over the couch.

And Izuku was tackled into a hug.

"O-O-*SOB*-Okaeri Izuku!" Eri said as she cried into his arms.

Izuku gave a soft smile as he patted her head.

"I-I missed you too Eri." The words that came out of his mouth held no real feeling, they lacked the weight of the Midoriya Izuku that she cared for.

This was all a front to him.

How could he miss a girl he never met before? A girl he never even heard of until today.

But Eri still cried, she still cried tears of joy at his 'return'.

So even if he was a fraud, even if only lies came out of his mouth, there was one part of him that was genuine.

Izuku genuinely wanted this girl to be happy.

He pulled her deeper into his embrace.

So for a fraud who do nothing but lie...

"I missed you so much."

Izuku decided that he was going to make her smile with this illusion of his.

"Alright I'll be going!"

"Bye bye Ocha-ocha!" Eri waved the brunette goodbye, clinging onto Izuku.

"Thank you so much Ochako." Izuku expressed his gratitude with a small unicorn stuck to his hand.

"Eh, i-it was nothing haha..." Ochako's face turned red once again.

"You'll be back for dinner right, Ocha-ocha?"

Ochako chuckled. "Of course Eri." Ruffling her white hair. "But I have some training to catch up on."

"You don't have to if you're too busy y'know?" Izuku remarked, causing Eri to tug on his arm.

"It's fine! Gunhead gives me weekends off, and I'm stay in the dorms anyway for convenience." Ochako omitted the fact that UA paid for utilities as well.
