Downward Spiral (Izuocha)

Chapter 13 Eri

Midoriya P.O.V.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm for the first time in many nights, and it was exactly what I needed for today. It was Saturday on a 6 am and I still had my indoor clothes and was in my bed when I woke up, but I didn't understand why, but it hit me as soon as I recalled how last night ended. Oh no.... But wait, if I fell asleep then that means I slept for  around nine hours! It was amazing that this happened, and especially when Eri was coming. I went to the bathroom to start my routine and then head out for training, and I noticed the bags under my eyes had gone down significantly and my eyes weren't as puffy as I woke up without starting to cry. It really did start to be an amazing day, and while training, I was so focused on the events that would come that I could barely hear the voices that had haunted me for the past two weeks.

When I was showering, I noticed that the slit in my wrist had began to scar and was slowly becoming one more in my covered arms. I truly despised them, but they were a good reminder to also not act as reckless as Kacchan when he is in his worst. As I changed and went down to get myself breakfast, I was encountered with all of the girls talking in the common area, until Mina decided to stare at me with a weird smirk that I could not understand and I went my way to get some breakfast. Sato had decided to cook breakfast today for all, as he prepared pancakes and many more things for us to eat, but I was just concentrated on the two pancakes for me, as the growling in my stomach wasn't much of a concern for me and I became used to it.

Uraraka P.O.V.

I woke up to the sun entering through the small gap in my blinds and hitting my face directly and everything seemed perfect, until I remembered what happened last night and felt my cheeks get to a darker shade of pink than usual. I remembered I had stared at his tired face that was resting on my shoulder for a few minutes until I understood the situation and began to internally panic. I had to lay him down with caution as to not wake him up, and as I left his room, I run into my pink friend and I knew this would only be for the worse, as my face was as red as Kirishima's hair. "I-i'll e-explain tomorrow." I whisper shouted and run down the stairs towards my room. I knew that as soon as I went down for breakfast, I would be in for an interrogation. 

And lo and behold, all the girls were waiting for me in the common area, and understanding that I had no way of escaping, I approached them, sat down and began talking myself before Mina could get everything distorted in her head. "I was hanging out with Deku last night in his room as FRIENDS, and he then fell asleep in my shoulder and I panicked and after quite some time, I layed him on his bed and got out and I was faced with Mina." Everyone looked at me skeptical and the alien queen herself decided to question everything. "So you just 'hang out' with Midoriya IN HIS ROOM, and he suddenly passed out on YOUR shoulder? You should confess, that wouldn't happen with just anyone." I wanted to believe her but there was no way that Deku would feel the same way, it would ruin our friendship. "Speak of the devil......" I hear Mina trail of as she is looking up, and I just cover my head so that I can hide my very red face while she smirks at him.

Thankfully, I was interrupted by the door opening and showing a very exhausted looking Aizawa holding the cutest Eri that I could have imagined, with a huge smile plastered on her face as her eyes darted across the room until she saw him. "Deku!" she screamed and run over to him while he kneeled down to her level and was attacked by an immense hug. "I'm happy to see you too Eri." he said, but with what I remembered from yesterday, I just hoped that my words made more of an impact than what I think. "Problem child, you look better, you finally listened to me. I will be back by around 7pm, don't doubt on feeding her dinner." And with that, the homeless looking man left as fast as he arrived probably to do some hero work with others. 

Midoriya P.O.V.

I forgot how much her smile made my day. "Eri, do you want to meet the rest of the people here? Some of them you might remember." I asked, nervous if she would still be anxious by the large amount of students. She, to my surprise, nodded vigorously and we decided to go one by one with introductions, as I explained to Kirishima the situation who seemed to be close by and explained to the rest. The hardening quirk user went first and Eri didn't seem to recognize him, but she was delighted with playing with his spiky vibrant hair. Then came Uraraka, and her eyes instantly seemed to be filled with fireworks as she came closer. "Hi Eri, I'm Uraraka, remember me?" "Yeah, you are so nice, we spent time at the festival together and you ate cre- crp..... that thing." It was so heart warming to see them get along, as I truly cared very much for both of them. She also identified Jiro as "the girl with a beautiful voice" and Asui as "the nice frog girl". 

However, her excitement became untameable as she got a glimpse of Momo creating a small spoon for her tea. They had already met, and Eri approached her once again and asked "Can you create anything Yaomomo?" she asked, as she was truly looking forward to it. "Yeah I can, what do you want me to create?" I could only imagined she wanted a toy or a plush for her to play with until her joyful scream grasped my attention once again. "Can you make me a Deku plush?!" "Of course, let me think a few seconds for the details." and a few seconds later, a small plush with my green mop of hair, hero costume and small freckles on my face appeared and she was delighted. It truly made me the happiest I had been in a while, and I got back her and asked "So Eri, what do you want to do?".

Heyoo. Next chapter is going to be fun and fluff changing the tone for a bit. I'm sorry I left it here on a cliffhanger and once again it is very late, electricity decided to come back to my house at such a random point, and taking care of your older brother from his hungover and then getting a hair cut by him also complicated things, but that's what made it so much fun. Remember, you are amazing and special, don't ever think otherwise. I hope you have and had an amazing day, and until tomorrow (hopefully no more madness). ( ͡☆ ͜ʖ ͡☆)
