In this oneshot, Aizawa adopted Eri. Hopefully theres no more confusion.

Managers. They can be your best friend and your worst nightmare all wrapped up into one. Managers are the golden tickets to success in the difficult world of show business. Getting your hands on one of those golden tickets will cost some their entire lives. With more than ten years invested into the business, (Y/n) has found herself in a rut as a struggling actor who has no choice but to listen to her ‘friend’ drawl on and on about the many ways one could land more jobs. It was all disheartening as (Y/n) would gladly sell off her own soul before even paying mind as to leak a sex tape, assalt an innocent or fake a disease. No, never in a million years would she do any of those things heartless acts.

It’s been hours now and almost all offers were off the table until only one remained and by golly did (Y/n)’s manager despise her client more than ever before. “Okay fine,” the manager pressed her lips into a fine line as she whipped out her laptop one last time and sat the device before her client. “If you won’t agree to anything… We aren’t left with many choices dear.”

(Y/n) was dreaded what choices sat for her evaluation. Her quirky eyes studied the brightly lit screen and it made her heart ache the most it ever has is all her life. The images of Pro Heroes bonding with their families, famous couples being intimate and of course hit scenes from the latest box office hit all had one thing in common: Love. Her lips retain no memory of a foriegn’s embrace. A heart that’s been empty too long for comfort. Those pictures made it dawn on (Y/n) that she’s been yearning for the attention it desperately needed.

“Honey… You’re gonna have to date a famous face if you want to stay relevant.”

The last resort as the manager liked to call it. (Y/n) snapped back into reality. “Wh-what!?” She snapped. “No! No, no, no! There’s only like one or two REAL famous couples out there. The rest are fake like Dolly Parton’s boobs! I want to date REAL people… Not fans who only like my work or a pretty face,” and this here is why (Y/n) begrudgingly fled the dating market long ago. As a beginning actress ten years back, she found it difficult finding decent partners let alone dates. Most of the men were crazed fans or just creepy jerks in general. Ten years later, her heart yearns for the attention that’s dearly missed. The last time she was kissed was by her cat for crying out loud!

“(Y/n) I understand,” the woman gave her client an apologetic frown. “It’s either you date someone more famous than you or say goodbye to acting.”

Clearly only one of those options are gonna work. “Well you’re not very good of a manager,” (Y/n) tuts. “You’re the one who hired me to act in movies that totally flopped,” (Y/n) put up her index finger and lifted another. “Most of your publicity stunts involve me doing horrible things! Why can’t I compete on a game show or do charity work?” Charity works for everyone!!! Why not now?

“Look,” the manager pulled up a different tab on the computer with a few keystrokes. The screen changed over to the impressive bio of one of Japan’s most currently famous pro heroes: Eraserhead. “I tried hooking you up with Hawks but I think you can settle on Eraserhead here. He’s a pretty face, a teacher AND a pro hero. Not to forget he’s been on the news more times in one year than you have in the last five.”

“Gee thanks…” (Y/n) rolled her eyes and focussed on the man at hand. Too bad the manager couldn’t land a deal with Hawks but Eraserhead is the last resort afteral. “Shouta Aizawa, 31… Same age as me,” the girl found that little fact to be intriguing as she took him to be in his late thirties or forties at the initial glance. He’s a rugged man as his eyes held signs of a lifetime of stress and fatigue. He’s dedicated to his job as a teacher given he’s earned a reputation as UA’s most strict teacher who hasn’t missed a single day of work in his life who can miraculously find the time to also protect the public as a pro. As of the current… Awe. (Y/n) found herself awing as she read through his bio to find that Aizawa’s taken it upon himself to be the guardian of a little girl who only goes by the name Eri. Kids… That’s another thing (Y/n) wants to experience from life. Kids of her own. All those times she played the role of a mother in a movie, the kids she pretended to raise and care for had her yearning to keep them for herself. Maybe Aizawa is everything she’s looking for in a man. Plus, the manager wasn’t kidding. He has a pretty face compared to that of most of the masculine pros out there.

“I’ll give him a try,” (Y/n) finally gave in. “I’ll give in and do one last publicity stunt.”

The woman snapped the laptop shut. “I’ll give him a call.”

Over the next few days, (Y/n) readied herself in anticipation for the day she meets Eraserhead face to face. Being she’s been out of the dating game for nearly ten or more years, she knew the initial meet wasn’t gonna go very well. Leave everything to fate she told herself. Just be yourself. (Y/n) dressed in her usual loungewear but made sure to keep her hair tidy and make up at a bare minimum. Besides the manager, (Y/n)’s never dressed this casually around someone in forever unless the cat counts. If Shouta doesn’t like (Y/n) at her not necessarily worst, but rather in a state she isn’t as attractive, then he can leave right through the door he entered. Even now, (Y/n) wonders if Shouta will dress nicely for her or do exactly as she’s doing and go casual. Who knows? People can be completely unrecognizable behind closed doors.

When the time came, the manager of the penthouse called up letting her know that Shouta had arrived and arrived he did. The elevator of (Y/n)’s penthouse suite opened up in a sliding motion. (Y/n) sat at an odd angle on the couch so she couldn’t exactly watch her date exit the floating box of steel as she had planned. The man stepped around her long L shaped couch to stand before the celebrity with that of an unexpectedly bored expression occupying his face. While Shouta’s face was a little unsettling, she couldn’t help but to stare at him in return. His raven locks were pulled back into a low ponytail with a few strands purposely left astray. This man could really work a ponytail…

“Good afternoon Shouta Aizawa,” (Y/n) smiled as she welcomed the man into her home. Actually, he invited himself in so was calling it an invitation even appropriate now? With that in mind, destroying her train of thought in the meantime, (Y/n) retained her smile but it wanted to falter all so badly. “It’s such a pleasure meeting a hero such as yourself.” The actress managed to pull though with perfection.

“You don’t need to talk to me so formally,” Shouta sighed. Being a teacher and pro hero, you receive more than enough respect to go around. Sometimes, you want to be talked to like a regular person every now and then. “Where’s my manners?” Shouta questioned with a bow to his head. “It’s nice to meet you too Miss (Y/n).”

“Such a gentleman,” (Y/n) was intrigued as Shouta lifted his head back up. A few stray hairs fell into his face. “Go ahead! Take a seat Shouta,” the girl invited the man adorn in black a seat beside her as she scooted off to the side just slightly. Instead, Shouta didn’t read her cues and took a seat across from her on the opposite side of the L couch. With awkwardness in the air, (Y/n) wasn’t exactly sure how to pull forward with the conversation. “How do you feel Shouta?” (Y/n) swallowed the lump in her throat. Normally it isn’t this difficult for her to talk to other people especially when she’s an actor. Now that a man she’s interested in is sitting before her, her mind turns to mush.Gotta pull through somehow! “You know, It’s not everyday a celebrity asks you out on a date huh? To be fair, I’ve never actually met a Pro before today.” Bravo (Y/n)! You actually said something normal!

“Well,” Shouta lied his arms on the back of the couch but flinched to the sudden warmth to penetrate his fingertips. Shouta planned to pull further with the conversation but he was sidetracked by the presence of a cat that expertly blended into the couch. That ‘throw pillow’ that was on the back of the couch was actually (Y/n)’s pet cat. She could’ve sworn the man fell in love at first sight as he scooped up the being and plopped it down atop his lap. With Shouta dragging his hand down the cat’s back, he was one of those stereotypical villains you’d find in movie. “I’ve never been asked out by a celebrity if that answers your question,” Shouta answered as if the conversation wasn’t interrupted at all.

“R-Really!?” (Y/n) gasped, surprising the male and her cat in the meantime. “You’re so good looking, you’re dedicated to your job, you’re practically a celebrity yourself! I would’ve thought you’d be a hit with the women.” She’s even sure that the most disliked hero in Japan right now, Endeavor, has a large following of women who’d happily get in bed with him. Is Eraserhead not as popular as she assumed he’d be?

“That’s the thing,” Shouta leaned back into the plush cushions of the couch. “I normally cut romance out of my daily activities.”

Her head cocked “Why?” Isn’t one of the natural desires of a human is to find a man or woman and reproduce?

“Cause… I’m a teacher, a Pro, I have a disciple to train and a little girl to raise. I don’t have the time for it.”

“What made you make time for me?” (Y/n)’s chest began to flutter. Little by little, Shouta really does sound ever more perfect. He has a reliable job, he loves kids, animals too and he went out of his way to be here. You can say that (Y/n)’s getting ahead of herself here but she doesn’t date to entertain herself or her followers but to date with the end goal of marriage.

“Peer Pressure,” Shouta bluntly replied.

“Oh…” Of all reasons to go out and date someone… It had to be peer pressure.

Shouta was visually agitated. (Y/n) could not only feel it but a vein was beginning to form atop his forehead.“The staff at UA practically knows that I’m married to my job. After your invitation, they told me to take some time off and have fun. My students wouldn’t leave me alone either,” Shouta yawned. “Don’t take it the wrong way (Y/n). I’m not exactly thrilled to be here but I wouldn’t be here If I wasn’t willing to give you a shot.”

“Awe,” her insides began to melt.

“You’re quite expressive,” Shouta hummed. In such little time, he could trace how this lady’s face could change in the slightest way and make some of the most detailed and memorable expressions be it how the corners of her lips curled just slightly, how her eyebrows angle themselves or the shrink and expanding nature of her pupils.

“O-Oh,” (Y/n) flinched and pressed hands to her cheeks to conceal the blush that appeared almost instantaneously. “Oh god I’ve really been out of the game for too long,” because the blush is burning her cheeks horribly.

"Looks like we're in the same boat."

Now on the same page, (Y/n) and Shouta took this first date as a day to get to know one another. On first dates most want to make a lasting impression be it through extravagant activities, gifts bought or gestures made. (Y/n) figured if she likes him and Shouta likes her enough by the end of today, she’d happily agree to another. Shouta didn’t really have much to talk about but one thing for sure is that he’s dedicated to his professions. He wants to keep the country safe, be the man who builds the next generation of heroes, always be there to guide his disciple and raise the little girl who’s melted through his heart. Dedication, that’s what Shouta had. Hopefully, he’ll remain dedicated to the lonely actor.

It wasn't long before the press got a tip that Pro Hero Eraserhead was romantically involved with an esteemed actress named (Y/n) (L/n). They met up, in private, a few times and yet the news was buzzing with speculations that they'd be the nation's next best couple. Before she knew it, (Y/n) was finally the big talk once again for the first time in years and earned invitations to talk shows and interviews and more. Jobs were beginning to open up once more. For once, her manager's advice actually paid off! Although, Shouta and (Y/n) are confused as to how the news of them dating got out.Those dates were done in secret. Shouta had his assumptions though knowing that the UA staff suggested the date in the first place and Mic can't exactly bite his tongue being the loud mouthed idiot he is.

After hosting date after date, Shouta wanted to pick out today’s date instead of letting (Y/n) run the show. Actually, no he didn't. He promised (Y/n) that he'd take her out for a date but got too caught up with school work, training his Disciple Shinsou and promising Eri he'd take her to pick out a pet at the shelter. Shouta basically told (Y/n) that unless she wanted to tag along on any of those activities, she's better off being patient until he has an opening. Surprisingly, (Y/n) was all for treating little Eri to a day at the animal shelter.

Shouta was wrangling little Eri as she was anxious to go visit the cats and kittens at the shelter but he made his point clear that he wanted to wait out for (Y/n). Eri was a pouting mess as the longer she had to wait in the shelter’s lobby the more she began to fear that she'd never actually get to pick out her very own cat. In due time, Eri perked up upon hearing the little jingle of the shelter's entrance bell as someone entered. It was a quiet day and nobody has bothered to visit besides Eri and Shouta himself in such a short little time. This woman was beautiful even behind the surgical mask she wore to conceal her identity. The woman pulled on the ear strap of her mask to reveal her identity and it had Eri's crimson eyes sparkling with wonder as she couldn't help herself but to pull and smack at Shouta's leg to wake him up.

Eri's attacks weren't letting up. "Shouta! Shouta! Is this the girl from the movie you showed me!?"

Through all the labored slaps and tugs, Shouta was drawn out from his cat nap and opened his steel grey eyes. Indeed, (Y/n) was standing a few feet away from them with a large radiant smile. "That's her Eri," he answered with a little pat atop her head.

"You showed Eri one of my movies?" (Y/n) knelt down and pressed a hand to her chest. She's flattered to say the least.

"I… did," Shouta admits reluctantly. He was hoping Eri wouldn't have brought up last weekend's plans.

"You're so pretty," Eri smiled ear to ear as she couldn’t help herself but to fiddle with her own silver locks of hair.

"Awe thank you," (Y/n) hasn't met such a nice and respectful little lady like Eri in her life.

"Where's your kids (Y/n)?" Eri held the girl's hands eagerly. "Can I please play with them?"

"Kids?" (Y/n) blinked.

"You have two girls my age right? Can we please play while you play with Shouta?" (Y/n) knew that Eri was an innocent girl but the mention of playing with a man her own age meant… Well… Playing in bed. (Y/n)’s face began to heat up once more.

"No Eri," Shouta groaned with a lone hand dragged down his face. "(Y/n) doesn't actually have kids. She's an actress. Those kids only pretended that (Y/n) was their mom."

"Oh…" Eri sighed and stared up into (Y/n)'s refreshed orbs. "Are we gonna have fun today?"

"Of course," she smiled.

"Great!" Eri jumped up from the floor and darted into the kennel area of the shelter. Well… No need to tell her twice.

Shouta got up from his seat and offered (Y/n) a hand of which she happily took. "She's a sweetheart."

"I show her one movie and she's fallen in love with you," Shouta snickered.

"Kids are kids."

"Wanna pick out a cat?" Shouta had his arm bent at the elbow.

She hooked her arm with his, "let's go."

With confirmation that Eri did indeed like (Y/n). No, not like… Loved (Y/n). Eri started referring to (Y/n) as mommy by accident the longer she remained around. It’s gotten to the point Shouta’s assuming Eri isn’t even trying anymore and was referring to his girlfriend as her mom intentionally. Shouta managed to get (Y/n) her very own visitors pass so that she could visit the UA campus whenever she felt like it. The class surely loved to tease and root on their teacher. (Y/n) especially grew fond of his Disciple: Shinsou. He was like Shouta’s mini me. In due time, (Y/n) and Shouta remained romantically involved for a month, then two months, going on six then nearly twelve. (Y/n) finally had a direction in her life. She had her daily acting gigs of course, but loved nothing more than to spend time with Shouta and his students. Shouta too was taking it easy with the hero work and taking days off from work just for his special lady. It was the hot talk around UA staff that they’re surprised Shouta hasn’t proposed to (Y/n) yet. Well… They’ve been dating for 363 days and he’s had a small velvet box in his pockets for the last week now as he awaits special day number 365…

Next Part will be the proposal and a special lemon. Hopefully, i’ll upload them really soon!!!
