Blood and Air |The Sequel| {Bakugo X FemOC}

Remember Me Now?

I sat on Aizawa's sofa, a news channel on low volume on the TV I was facing, a cat resting by my right thigh. 

And laying down on my left, head resting in my lap, hands threading softly through her hair, was Eri.

The little girl I loved so much and thought died over a year ago.

The little girl who became an inspiration for me.

Someone that I broke over. 

Someone I rebuilt my future for.

And here she was, alive, sleep in my arms.

Eri cried in my arms, refusing to let me go. I struggled not to bawl with her, soothing her, hugging her tight. I have yet to place her down, and after the medication put her to sleep, I laid her on my lap and refused to let her out of my sight.

I don't know if my heart was breaking or if it was restoring. Eri was so much to me. I would willingly let them torture me, just to spare her a few moments of calm. I tried to break her out, but the damn curse worked against me. It was my dream to take her out of that place, to give her freedom and love.

Then the earthquake came. I saw her little arm in a pool of blood, crushed to death by metal cabinents.

I broke. It took me a while to recover.

I used her memory for inspiration.

And all of it was fake? They tried to break me more, by saying Eri died, by cutting her arm off for the damn illusion?

How I wish I could storm over to those maniacal assholes and rip them to shreds, piece by piece. 

I would enjoy it.

But I would have to enjoy it later. 

Two hours after I was brought her, I was still in Aizawa's home on-campus. He and Mirio - we decided to be on first name basis for Eri - explained this whole setup to me, before Aizawa went to take a nap and Mirio started on dinner - which I will be joining. I can't bring myself to even leave her for a minute right now. 

Aizawa decided to foster her. Not only was her lack of Quirk control a risk, he grew a bit attached to her after visiting her daily in the hospital. But to make sure no one else would go after her, considering the LOV knows she exists, UA created a safe-house for Eri to live. Here, they will have some select UA staff, really just Nezu, Midnight and Aizawa, along with Mirio, help teach her basic studies. Aizawa would be lead on her Quirk training, for safety reasons.

Apparently, no one from 1A knows she is here. Aizawa wanted to wait until she was not at risk with meeting new people, and was going to bring Izuku over soon.

But  Aizawa had told me, in some form, that Eri used to say my name while she sleep talked and has asked about me and if I was alive, every now and then. He felt as if I had to be introduced.

I was damn glad he decided it. 

 Slowly breathing, feeling my eyes burn, I look down at Eri. She was so small, so beautiful and cute. She had the personality of an angel, and deserved to be treated as one. I will make sure to treat her as one.

"So, Mira," Mirio spoke up. it was weird to have a stranger call me by my first name, but I looked over to him. "You are dating Bakugo, right? The guy who won the 1st year Sports Festival?"

I nod. "Yeah. Why?" 

He turned around, a spoon in the air, wearing an apron with abs. It was funny to me. "It's just funny to me - Eri looks like a mix of you two - kind of like a daughter!" He laughed.
