The exhausted hero yawned as he led Eri down the hall and into the kitchen, stumbling over to the sink as he twisted on the cold water, letting it run a second before holding the girl's cup up under the cool stream of water, filling it to the halfway mark and handing it down to the pajama clad Eri with a still bleary expression, the small girl taking it with a yawn.

"Th-thank you, Eraser-San..." She murmured, Aizawa chuckling on spite of himself at the girl's oddly adorable tired expression, rubbing her dazed and bleary red eyes as she drank her glass, straightening out with a yawn as he ran his fingers through his messy and bed-headed black hair, staggering over to the refrigerator and pulling it open as the muffled sound of running water came from the bathroom, signalling Hizashi had started his shower, so Aizawa had ten minutes before he could begin his own routine.

"What would you like for breakfast?" He questioned, covering his mouth to stifle a yawn as he rummaged through the fridge's contents, searching or something edible. Eri looked up, reaching onto the counter and balancing on her tip toes to set her now empty cup on the cool metal counter of the sink, shrugging her shoulders with a still sleepy expression before peeking up, a small blush crawling up her cheeks.

"Fruit squeezies....?"

Aizawa snorted, making the girl jump as he started to laugh, turning to look at her over his shoulder.

"Look, kiddo, I'm in no place to judge since their all I ever eat, but ya know there's more to eat than just fruit drinks."

Eri blushed, bowing her head in slight embarrassment as Aizawa chuckled in amusement, reaching over and ruffling her hair affectionately with a smile.

"How's about you go get dressed, and I'll make us all some toast and egg sandwiches? Quick and easy." He suggested, Eri nodding her head with a quiet blush still dusting her cheeks as she twisted the hem of her night shirt.

"Okay, Eraser-San..."

Aizawa chuckled, nodding his head as he reached into the fridge and pulled out a carton of eggs, setting it on the counter beside the plastic encased loaf of bread, a small smile tugging at his mouth as he watched Eri run off to get herself dressed for the day. Chuckling to himself in quiet amusement he started on breakfast, letting the stove warm up as he started on the toast, letting himself zone out on his task of cooking as the sound of raspy, yet sweet singing came pealing out in muffled notes from the hallway. Aizawa smirked, shaking his head as he cracked eggs into the pan, tossing the shells into the trash and reaching over to scoop up the freshly ejected toast, setting the pieces on three separate plates he had grabbed out of the cupboard, hearing the water shut off from the hallway, followed by the whirring of the hair dryer over Hizashi's still raspy singing as Eri skipped back into the kitchen.

"I'm done getting ready, Eraser-San!"

Aizawa turned to face the doorway, smiling slightly when he saw the girl standing there, dressed in the dusty blue jumper they had bought for her yesterday, but her choppy white tinged pale blue hair was still a bit of a mess, probably because Hizashi had the hairbrush.

"You look nice, Eri. Breakfast is ready if your hungry."

The girl nodded eagerly, her bright red eyes glinting.

"Yes please, Eraser-San!"

The raven haired male chuckled as he picked up a plate from the counter and grabbed two fruit drinks from out of the fridge, setting one beside his own plate and handing the other to Eri, who grinned happily as she twisted off the cap and proceeded to suck out the contents, walking over to the table with her plate. Aizawa sighed quietly, preparing a plate for his cockatoo haired lover as well as himself, slightly annoyed when the sound of the bathroom door being flung open reached his ears, the very man swinging himself through the kitchen frame with his usual grin in place, gold tinted sunglasses in one leather clad hand, the other gripping the frame.
