DISCONTINUED If Only Memories Could Be Erased(A Shoto Todoroki X Oc Fanfic)

Ch36: Eri, the new sister

Tamaki's pov(3rd time in a row. Sorry)

I sat in dad's house, looking at my phone. I was waiting for Shoto to text me. He said he'd message me when he was going to meet me so that we could go over to his house for dinner. I had been really skeptical about going. Especially since its kinda clear in the way Shoto's dad glares at me when I've seen him that he hates me. Shoto had arranged a day where his brother and sister could come over and his dad wouldn't be home. Dad had asked me to come over to his house because he wanted Hitoshi and I to meet another kid he adopted but I didn't feel up to interacting with everyone else. My mind was on full gear with me taking the back seat.
"Why are you sad?" someone asked. I looked up from my phone to beside me. A little girl with long white hair was kneeling on the couch next to me. She had a little horn on the side of her head and bandages wrapped around her arms and legs.
"I......" I trailed off. How do you explain depression to a 6 year old?
"Mr Aizawa said that you're sad a lot when I asked him" she explained. I sighed.
"I'm in a bit of a bad place. Ever felt like you can't feel anything?" I asked. She hesitates.
"I think so..... I haven't been able to feel my arms and legs sometimes because of.... Mr Chisaki" she explains.
"It's kinda like that but instead of just my body being affected, it's all of me, including my mind. Do you understand?" I asked.
"I think so" she mumbled.
"Do I make you sad?" she asked.
"No. I just wasn't feeling to up for much interactions. Especially with someone new" I sighed, fiddling with my hair. She looked at my arms.
"You have bandages too?" she asked. I panicked and pulled my sleeves over the part of my bandage that showed and stuffed my hands in my pockets, bunching my shoulders and staring at my feet.
"Did I say something bad?" she asked.
"N-no" I responded, not looking up. At this point I'd started to scratch at my arm again. Or I tried. With the hoodie, shirt and bandages on, it was kinda hard to get to my actual arm.
"What's going on over here?" Dad asked.
"Aizawa has bandages like me" Eri States. I cringed, gripping onto the sleeve of my hoodie. I saw dad bend down next to her.
"Eri. We try not to mention the bandages. They are a bit of a sore spot. Alright" Aizawa explains.
"Did you hurt her?" Eri asked. Dad flinched.
"No. He didn't" I assured her. Eri looked at me.
"So who hurt you?" Eri asked.
"Eri, that's no-"
"I did" I cut in. Eri looked confused.
"Why would you hurt you?" she asked, not sure how to grasp what was going on. Both Hitoshi and Yamada were cringing in the background, probably feeling really awkward.
"It's complicated" I replied. Just then I felt my phone buzz. I looked. It was Shoto. He was outside.
"I've got to go. Bye dad" I explained, getting up and hugging him.
"Love you Tamaki. Be safe" he told me. I nodded.
"Bye Eri. Be good for dad. Bye Hitoshi. Bye Yamada" I told the each of them, leaving the house to meet Shoto outside.
