[Eri, Mirio, and Tamaki all play a board game together feat. MiriTama (and a lil EraserMic but that wasn't in the request it just kinda happened).

Requested by blahblahblahkaminari]

"It's Lemillion!" Eri squealed excitedly when Mirio walked in the door of Aizawa's apartment with his shy friend in tow.

"Hey Eri!" He squealed back just as excitedly. "Tamaki and me are gonna stay and play with you tonight!"

"Really?" she held up her arms so he could hoist her up on his side and she could talk to them at the same level.

"Thanks for watching her tonight," Aizawa said. He was dressed up formally in a sleek black suit with a purple waistcoat and black shirt underneath and shiny dress shoes. His hair was clean and pulled back in a half-bun, and he wasn't wearing his capture weapon, which was actually kind of weird to see.

"Of course!" Mirio said, grinning brightly as always. "When is Present Mic coming to pick you up for the event?"

"He should be here any minute. I should be back around midnight. I'm trusting you not to burn down the apartment or lose her somehow. Don't disappoint me."

"We'll do our best, Mr. Aizawa, but no promises," responded Mirio lightly just before they heard the apartment's buzzer go off.

"That must be Hizashi," Aizawa said and answered it. "I'm on my way down." Then he turned to Eri. "I'll see you later Eri, have fun with Amajiki and Togata, alright."

"I will!" she said. Aizawa waved to them one last time as he headed out the door and down the stairs to meet his partner. They were going together to an event of some kind, for a charity if Mirio was remembering right, in support of at-risk youth. Present Mic had personally invited Aizawa, which Mirio was pretty sure was the only reason he was going.

"Alright, Eri, you know Tamaki, right?" Mirio said, and Eri waved at Tamaki cheerfully.

"Uh-huh." She nodded. "He comes with you when you come visit me sometimes."

"Hi, Eri." Tamaki offered her a small smile and lifted his hand for a sheepish wave.

"So what are we gonna do? Do you wanna meet my new kitty?" she asked.

"You have a new kitty?" Mirio asked. "Of course I want to meet them!" Eri squirmed until Mirio put her down again and she ran to her room. She came back with a purple stuffed cat about half as big as she was.

"This is my kitty!" she said, holding it up for them to see. It had extra fluff around the neck and ears and heart shaped patches on its cheeks.

"Aww! She's so cute! Did Mr. Aizawa get her for you?" Mirio asked, crouching down to pet the stuffed cat on the head, even Tamaki smiled at it.

"Uh-huh! And he even let me name her myself!" Eri bragged, hugging the stuffed animal around the neck very gently. "I decided her name is Grapes."

"Does Grapes want to play with us?" Mirio suggested. "She can be on your team. We'll teach you how to play UNO, it's super easy."

"Okay, but won't it be unfair for Grapes and me to be a team while Lemillion and Tamaki are playing by themselves?"

"No, I think it'll be okay," he answered, standing back up to his full height and looking over at Tamaki as if for confirmation. "We're both a lot taller than you, even if Grapes stands up on your head, so that probably makes up for it."

"Oh. Okay! So how do we play?" she asked as Mirio corralled her to the coffee table in the family room, Tamaki following a little behind them. He and Eri settled on the couch while Tamaki sat on the floor to the side so they were a little more spread out.

"Well we start by shuffling all the cards. Tamaki, if you will?" Tamaki took the box of cards Mirio haded him and took the cards out, shuffling them deftly. Mirio leaned over to stage whisper in Eri's ear. "This is a secret, so don't tell anyone, but I can't really shuffle. I've tried, but I just don't have a knack for it. But look at Tamaki—" he pointed to his boyfriend bridging the thick UNO deck with ease and whistled, impressed. "Now that's skill."

"It's not that impressive," Tamaki argued, lips curling in embarrassment as he continued to shuffle the cards. 

"Sure it is, right Eri?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Once he's done shuffling, Tamaki will deal each of us seven cards." He started counting to seven as Tamaki dealt out the cards and Eri joined in after two. "That's seven. Then he puts the deck down and flips over the top card, see that's a red four. I'm on his left, so now I play a card that's either red colored, or has the number four on it." He played a red two. "Now your turn. You play a red card, or a card with a two."

"Hmm." Eri looked at her cards closely before putting down a red seven. "Like this?"

"Yup. Some of the cards don't have numbers on them and do special things," Mirio continued his explanation, showing her a blue reverse card from his hand before hiding it again, "like skipping the next person, making the turns go in the opposite direction, or making the person after you draw cards. There are also wild cards and if you play one of them, you get to pick a new color to play. If you don't have any cards you can play, you draw a card and keep drawing until you can play.

"When you're down to one card, you have to say 'uno', but if someone else says it before you do, you have to draw three cards. You win when there are no more cards in your hand."

"Okay, I got it... I think..." She scrunched up her face and frowned to try and remember everything he'd told her.

"Don't worry Eri, we'll play for a while and I'm sure you'll get that hang of it," Tamaki encouraged her and he put down a red nine.

"Let's see, I'll put down a yellow nine, and that changes the color to yellow," Mirio said, putting a card down.

"So can I play this one?" Eri showed them a yellow draw 2 card.

"Yup!" Mirio grinned and Eri put down the card and Tamaki reached for the draw pile. "That means Tamaki has to draw two cards, and it's my turn again." He put down a yellow four. Eri played a yellow skip.

"What does this one do?" Eri asked.

"It skips the next person's turn so Tamaki doesn't get to go this round," Mirio explained through barely restrained laughter. He played a yellow one and Eri frowned, consulted with Grapes for a moment and finally looked up at Mirio.

"We don't have anymore yellow cards," she said.

"Do you have any ones?" he asked, and she shook her head. "What about a black card with all the colors on it?"

"Uuumm, like this?" she held up a draw four wild and Mirio pointedly ignored the look of betrayal on Tamaki's face when he told her that was exactly what he meant.

"That's a draw four wild, so if you play it, you get to pick a new color, and the person after you has to draw four cards as their turn instead of playing," he explained. "So what color do you want? What color do you have the most of in your hand?"

"I have green and red," she said.

"So what color do you want to change it to?" Mirio asked her.

"I think green," she answered while Tamaki drew four more cards.

"Okay then," Mirio played a green five, and then Eri played a green reverse card. "That card means the turns go the other way now, so it's my turn again." He played his blue reverse card.

"Seriously?" Tamaki mumbled, frowning at his hand of twelve cards which he still wasn't able to play.

"Sorry Tamaki, today's just not your day, is it?"

"Uno," Tamaki said.

"Uh, you definitely don't have uno," Mirio pointed out.

"You do," Tamaki responded.

"Ah! Whoops, I forgot to call it." Mirio rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before drawing three more cards.

"What do I do if I don't have another card to play again?" Eri asked.

"You have to draw until you do have a card you can play," Mirio told her.

She drew three times before she finally drew a blue draw two and Tamaki couldn't help but whine as his hand grew to fourteen cards. "How does she keep drawing so many of these?"

By the time the first game ended, Tamaki had somehow managed to get thirty one cards in his hand. Not too long into the game, Mirio thought it would be terribly funny to gang up on him with Eri, just to see how many cards they could get him to draw, and they were giggling and laughing, and Tamaki couldn't help but be irritated, even if he thought watching them strategize together to stop him from ever playing a card was actually pretty funny after all.

Eri won the first game, but that was mostly because Mirio kept forgetting to call uno and Tamaki would call it out of spite. He couldn't help but suspect that Mirio was forgetting on purpose. Tamaki made a comeback in the second game after he won without drawing a single card. He was usually pretty good at UNO, but it probably didn't hurt that they didn't reshuffle after the first game and apparently most of the special cards had ended up on the top half of the deck.

"Wow," Mirio said jokingly after the second game ended. "Don't you know it's not nice to completely obliterate your boyfriend and a little girl at UNO, Tamaki?"

"As opposed to ganging up on your boyfriend with the help of a little girl to make him draw thirty-one cards, which is totally cool," Tamaki responded, only a little bit bitter. "I'm gonna go make dinner, you guys can keep playing if you want."

"Aw, come on, we're sorry!" Mirio called after him as he headed to the kitchen. "Right Eri? Tell him we're sorry."

"We're sorry Tamaki!" Eri shouted. "Grapes is sorry too!"

"Well if Grapes is sorry, I guess I have to forgive you," Tamaki said, sighing. "We do still need to eat dinner, though. I'm not mad at you guys."

"Do you want help?" Mirio offered.

"No I'm good," Tamaki called back, straining his normally quiet voice to be heard from the kitchen, though it wasn't far. "You guys have fun with your game."

"Alright Tamaki!"

Eri beat Mirio twice more before Tamaki told them to put the cards away so they didn't get food on them. With the cards away, he put down three plates of tonkatsu with vegetables.

"Mm, this looks delicious Tamaki," Mirio said. "Thanks for the food!"

"Thanks for the food!" Eri echoed and they all tucked in to eat. "Can we play Uno some more after dinner?" she asked.

"Of course," Mirio answered, grinning. "If that's what you want."

"Mm-hmm!" she hummed enthusiastically, her mouth full of pork.

—

"Tamaki, no," Mirio begged. "Please, Tamaki. I love you, please don't do this to me."

"Don't be so melodramatic, Mirio." Tamaki played his second-to-last card, a draw four wild. "Uno, and blue."

"Noooooooo!" Mirio cried, collapsing onto the table like he'd been shot while Eri giggled. He'd had only one card left to play until that moment. He could have won. He could have won his first game all night, and they'd played twenty-seven games. He mimicked crying, dramatically.

"Don't cry Lemillion," Eri said.

"It's fine," Mirio told her, still whimpering, acting as though he was on the verge of death. "It's such a dreadful betrayal, but I'll recover. I must... recover..." Tamaki Rolled his eyes while Mirio finally drew his four cards.

Eri played a blue three and Tamaki finished the game by playing a blue skip.

"That's fifteen wins for Tamaki, twelve for Eri, and zero for me." Mirio sighed. "Do I really suck at UNO, or was this just an off day for me?"

"I think you're always this bad," Tamaki answered so quietly the others almost didn't hear it. Mirio put a hand to his chest, looking offended, before he broke out laughing.

"Can we play again?" Eri asked.

"I don't know Eri, it's already past your bedtime," Mirio told her. "We told you that had to be the last game, right? You need sleep so you can grow up big and strong."

"Okay."

"Take Grapes with you, and don't forget to brush your teeth while your getting ready."

"Okaayyy," she repeated, a little sad that she didn't get to keep playing. She stood up and carried her stuffed cat to her room to change into her pajamas.

"I can't believe we played twenty-seven games of UNO, and I didn't win a single one," Mirio said. "That's gotta be a record loosing streak for me."

"Nah, your record is twenty-eight losses in a row," Tamaki corrected. "But it's just a game. I'm more surprised at how good Eri turned out to me, I mean we only let her win about three times and then she was actually beating us."

"You have a point there," Mirio said.

"You probably could have won the first round if you'd actually called uno yourself, Mirio, but it was sweet of you to let her win, even if she didn't really need it."

"Thanks." Mirio stood up straighter when he felt Tamaki's lips on his cheek. When he turned to see his boyfriend smiling softly at the floor he wrapped an arm around Tamaki and pulled him close to his side. "Hey, this was fun. Mr. Aizawa will probably ask us to babysit Eri again after this, and that would be fun, too." Tamaki nodded.

"I brushed my teeth!" Eri told them. "Will you read me a bedtime story?"

"Coming Eri!" Mirio released Tamaki and they headed to her bedroom to help her to sleep.

[Me: Tamaki

My sticky shift key: tamaki

Autocorrect, every time: TAMALE????

Anyway, I know the request was board game, not card game, but I couldn't remember how to play any board games that an eight year old would play, so I figured UNO was close enough. Also, I did not mean for this to take so long, but c'est la vie, I hope you still like it. Love y'all!
