KARMA ๏ KATSUKI BAKUGO

real family

"Eri!" You practically kicked down the door and rushed to hug Eri. Midoriya and Mirio were right behind you, followed by Aizawa and two hospital staff. "We're sorry we couldn't see you sooner!"
"Here's a fruit basket!" Mirio held the basket in his hands. "You can eat some if you like. Is there a fruit you like? Can I try guessing? It's a peach, right? Cuz your a peach!"

"Apples." Eri said, holding the basket.
"That's what I thought!"

"I got you something." You rolled your eyes at Mirio, and revealed the stuff giraffe behind your back. "Just something to hold on too."

She took it in her hands and hugged it, running her hands along the softness of it. You tried to find something that eats birds, just as a hidden joke as Overjerk kinda looked like a bird, but you couldn't find anything. And a giraffe looked better.

"What is it?" Eri asked, shyly.
You sat yourself down next to her on the hospital bed.

Of course she doesn't know what it is. "It's a giraffe. An animal that lives in Africa." You told her, hoping she knew what Africa was. You knew you would be teaching her the basics as soon as you could.

"This whole time, even when I had a fever, I was thinking." She held the toy giraffe tighter. "...about when you recused me, I didn't know your name. I knew Y/n and Lemillion. I just wanted to know your name."

"I'm Izuku Midoriya. My hero name is Deku!" Midoriya smiled at her. "Um, maybe Deku is easier to remember, it's shorter. Deku. I'm Deku."

"Hero name?" Eri glanced at you, but looked at Midoriya for the answer.
"It's like a nickname."

"Deku." Eri repeated, and Midoriya nodded. "Y/n, Lemillion, Deku and...that man wearing glasses..."
You almost forgot you haven't told Eri about Nighteye. You glanced at Aizawa for a spilt of a second, but quicky trained your eyes back on Eri.
"All of you were injured badly because of me...because of me, you all suffered...I'm sorry." tears started to brim her eyes.

"It...It was my fault, that you...lost your power, Lemillion..." Eri closed her eyes. Mirio leaned froward, placing his hand on her head.

"No one thought they were suffering, all we are thinking is 'Im glad Eri is okay!' There is not point apologizing to someone who doesn't exist. Don't worry about it. Everyone fought so they could see you smile!"

Eri thought about that for a moment, before contorting her face into weird expressions and pulling her cheeks. She stopped, seeing how effortless she was. "I'm sorry...how do you smile again?"

You inhaled a breath, and wiped the tears from her eyes. She leaned into your touch, and you tucked her hair behind her ears. Even though she wasn't in Overjerk's grasp anymore, she was still scared of him.

"Mr. Aizawa!" Midoriya jumped up, running to said man. "Could Eri leave the hospital? For just one day?"

"It's not impossible, but even then she'll be-" Aizawa still had his frame leaning against the door. He looked as if he was about to pass out from lack of sleep.

"Then, can Eri come, too?" Midoriya asked. At first you were confused as hell for what he was talking about.
Eri, still being in the room, tugged on your shirt, silently asking what he meant. You just shrugged.

"The school festival? Can Eri come too?" Midoriya stepped aside, gesturing to the blue haired girl. You sat up, now thinking of how you could introduce Eri to Uggie.

"School festival?" Eri repeated, unsure of what it was.

Mirio spun around, the air pressure around him so fierce it blew you and Eri's hair back. You blinked, completely confused on how he managed to do that.
"Eri, this is a great idea! A school festival is a festival that takes place at our school!"
