Angel

While the school staff was having a meeting, class 1-A's students were busy taking care of the red eyed child in front of them. She had somewhat calmed down after a while, and the group had moved to another room, Recovery Girl insiting that the patients needed some calm. Uraraka was now holding the hand of the child.

"So what's your name? I'm Ochako Uraraka by the way."

"E-Eri Deku."

"Oh, Eri, that's cute. It's fine if we call you that right?"

"Yes! Everybody calls me Eri at school, only Daddy gets called Deku."

A bright smile illuminated her features. Added to the trace of tears from before, and the long white skirt she was wearing, she genuenly looked like a shining ice princess. The hearts of the class members melted right away.

'An angel! She's an angel! Aaaaah!'

Yaoyorozu was the first to recover.

"Eri, dear. You keep calling him 'Daddy'. Why is that?"

"Ah! Eeehhh... Ehm..."

Eri fidgetted, cheeks reddening by the second. The scene caused various reactionsamongst the students.

'She looks like she is being scolded... That's too cute!'

'What secret is she trying to hide now?'

'Now I understand why he was so eager to get home.'

"Eri? If it's uncomfortable you can skip on that one, okay? No need to pressure yourself over this."

"No! I'll say it, otherwise you will think we're weird. It's because... I read it in a book."

"You read it in a book? What do you mean?"

"I read in a book that when a boy takes care of a younger girl for a long time, they are called 'father' and that 'Daddy' is another way to call them, so I sarted calling him like that, but people were looking at us weirdly, so he asked me to call him 'brother' in public but now I've done it and-and..."

Now the child was starting to panick, thinking that she had ruined her guardian's friendships, only to get reassured immediatly by yet another bear hug.

"Shhh. You've done nothing wrong. You have a special link with your father and it's okay. There's no need to feel bad about it. Take it easy."

Meanwhile, a certain perverted prick was strapped to the roof outside of the room with a triple layer of tape.

Afterward, once the teens felt that the child had calmed down, they proceeded with presenting themselves. Once the introductions were over, the youths started talking about everything and nothing,learning more and more about the kid. Thirty peaceful minutes passed just like that, the previous tension dissipating into nothingness.

Finally, Midnight came back.

"Ah, heyo kids. Did you have a nice time?"

"Yes Midnight-sensei, Eri is adorable. Do you need something?"

"Yes, in fact, Eri, can you come with me ? We need to talk with you."

Eri hesitated, and glanced at the older girls, as if asking for permission. She had opened up a bit to them now, but her timid red eyes melted the teens' hearts yet again.

Yaoyorozu was the one to answer.
"Eri, you should go. It seems impotant."

"Okay... I'll meet you again?"

"Sure, promise, now go." interjected Uraraka.

As the little girl timidly followed the hero, the brunette wondered if there was anything more she could do.
