Chapter 4: Addition to the Family

The Next Day, Early Morning—Midoriya Apartment

Izuku had called his bed plain, perhaps a bit uncomfortable for her likes. He even hoped that the room wasn't too unnerving, given the presence of so many All Might figurines. But in her opinion, it was perfect.

It was a comfortable silence, putting all sorts of noise to sleep in this little room. It had been too dark for her to see everything that night, but even without seeing, she could tell that it was so, so much better than the little basement she was often forced into whenever she didn't listen to his orders.

She would sit there, forced to be in the dark, unable to hear absolute silence. But this silence was beautiful, that one hurt. This room was clean, hers was scary. His bed, and his arms over him and the other girl, comforted her. She slept on the floor, or sat in her excrement, forced to such humiliation. To such torture.

And even now, away from the little thing down underground, she could still come to remember how it looked.

Her 'room' was windowless. A single door, locked every single day. There was absolutely no light, only her eyes tempered—and that she would be allowed out of that dreadful room, to see the world once more, then sent back without hesitation—allowing her to see in it. The corner of this airtight room had a mop or two (she forgot how many there were) and there had been a bucket. She could only hope to either stand or sit on the dirt floor, coming to terms that it was indeed some form of cellar.

She used to cry, but as time continued to fly by, ignoring her wails and bleeding arm, she merely grows cold, knowing that she would only be allowed to come to the surface to be hurt by him, before he sends her down once more.

She would be lucky if she had clothes on her. At times, she had absolutely nothing, and she would beg to the lifeless walls for something to cover herself. It was only when she was bare would she truly use her voice.

Here... she suddenly felt alien.

And yet, alongside the strange situation she was in, she was—

"Mmm..." The kind boy she met yesterday shifted slightly, not moving his arms however, smacking his dry lips together before suddenly turning onto his side.

And he pulls her into a hug.

"Eep..!" The girl yelps silently, face turning red in an instant. She realises now that she's being pressed into his body, and God, was it hard.

(Please do not believe that I'm referring to anything dirty. Hard here is being used to describe his abdomen, per the current situation. Kindly refrain from referring to such situation as sexual.)

Actually, now that she thought about it, she could smell some sort of soap on him. It's nice, actually, quite light and very fragrant. He did take a shower last night, after all.

"Two more minutes..." He muttered to no one in particular, his voice slightly muffled by the bedsheets, before he suddenly sat up, surprising her. "No, I have school..."

That's... strange.

"Umm... Izuku?" She asked, gently shaking his hand.

"Nngh..." Taking a moment more to fully wake himself up, Izuku stretched his arms high above his head as much as he could before a satisfying pop sounded. "Yeah, I'm awake..."

"G-Good morning..." Mumbled Eri, her voice catching him by surprise, enough to wake him up fully this time and get him to smile back.

"Morning, Eri," he greeted back, patting her on the head. "Had a good sleep last night?"
