Family
"It's pretty bizarre through, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. She keeps trying to involve herself with that Midoriya even after we keep warning her. A girl like her shouldn't waste her time on a delinquent like him. I don't get it."
"She obviously likes him."
"Well duh."
"B-But I mean, I get it..."
"You too!"
"No! For Todoroki, obviously!"
"Right, he's so quiet and cool."
They were gossiping like always as Shinso ran past them, reaching Izuku's house. They brushed off the delinquent, as usual, neither side ever acknowledging that the other was ditching.
Shinso ran up the front steps and knocked on the door, or he was about to. Someone opened it before he could. He had nostalgic yellow gloves, pointing at Shinso and Eri. "Shinso, little girl, gramps, heroes, is what he texted. And he sent me the location plus a recording. You must be Shinso, don't worry. Gramps is already on his way with the authorities, come inside I prepared tea, figuring you and her are pretty stressed." Guiding a very confused Shinso in.
"A-Ah, thank you."
He took the little girl from his hands and led them to the small kitchen. "Hey there, what's your name, did Izuku save you? But I bet you were scared of his scarred up face." He tried to help Eri relax and realize she was in safe hands now. He knew what it felt like to be a terrified child scared of everything. "But who's is scarier, mine or his?" He gave her a crusty smile, joking with her.
Except for some reason Eri wasn't scared, she actually raised her small hand up to his face. "The both of you look really kind."
"Oh? Well so do you."
Shinso was sipping his tea seeing him interact with Eri. Before spitting it out. "Wait, who the hell are you anyway."
He calmly turned to Shinso. "I'm Izuku's older brother, Tenko Shimura."
"N-NANI?!"
"Oi, Papa that attack on USJ, failed." She was leaning on the bar, slightly annoyed.
"Ah, you were right just like you said it would. Sorry, Sweetheart, but did you do as you were told?"
Then her lips curved. "Yes, hehe, I got some of the students' blood."
"Good, good."
"But guess what Papa?"
"Hm, what is it?"
"I also got some of All-Might's." She giggled to herself with bloodlust.
Himiko Toga: Leader of the League of Villains.
"Oi, brat, are you okay?" Gran Torino was talking to Izuku after the fight with Overhaul. Izuku gave his gramps and the authorities a thorough breakdown of the situation.
Izuku had narrow eyes, after explaining everything. "This isn't good though."
"Hm, what do you mean?" Grand Torino had his own thoughts on the matter but would wait for the investigation.
"He said he grew because of our confrontation. He was already ridiculously powerful. The only weaknesses I could exploit was his agitation but now... I fucked up, Gramps."
"Now, now, there's a little girl in safe hands, let's worry about the rest later. Toshinori also had some trouble today. We can all talk at home and figure out what to do with the child."
"Yeah, I already sent the recording to the Old man." Izuku had captured Overhaul's words when he was brainwashed with his phone and sent it to All-Might and Tenko.
After the incident between Izuku Midoriya and Kai Chisaki, it was decided the best course of action was for Eri to stay at the U.A. dorms, close to Eraserhead, because she stated that she didn't know what her quirk was but was scared of it, including the fact that she had been experimented on.
Moving in with her to protect her was her new family!
Her protective brother, Izuku Midoriya, "Yo."
Her overprotective brother, Tenko Shimura, "Don't worry I only take off my gloves to wash them, or if I need to keep Eri safe!"
Her granddad-Torino. "Don't expect much I'm just an old man after all."
And best dad, All-Might. "Don't worry, I am here!"
It was a hype entrance given the individuals involved. All the other students could simply stare in bewilderment. The news had spread the word of the delinquent's heroic act, although he refused to answer any questions and simply glared at the camera till it was off him. Apparently, because of it, his family and Eri were going to move into U.A. for protection.
The delinquent and All-Might got along like father and son. They couldn't comprehend it! The student body tilted their head in mass confusion.
"EH?! THAT'S HIS FAMILY!?"
Tenko was carrying a box and nudged his bro. "Oi, are you popular?" He teased.
"They're annoying." Izuku was also carrying a box, as they walked. Technically he should have been in school along with the students, but he was ditching to help his family unpack.
"C'mon boys let's settle in and celebrate." All-Might was carrying most of the boxes.
Tenko smiled. "Sounds great, I'll cook and show Eri, the joy of a warm meal."
This confused the students even more. "Kyaah! He's so pure despite his looks! Why is he a cinnamon bun?! It feels like the roles are reversed!"
She almost fainted when she heard about his family.
They all got settled in, Izuku had moved his things to a room on the top floor, while the rest of them had moved to the first floor. Toshinori, Eri, and Torino were all in the living quarters showing Eri cartoons while Tenko was in the kitchen getting dinner ready.
Izuku was sitting at the dining table, writing in his notebook. He redrew a detailed sketch of Overhaul that he had drawn for the police as well and then jotted down any notes that he believed were important. He glanced over at Eri before staring down back at his notebook. He wrote down experiments with a question mark and circled it before closing the book as Tenko began serving the food.
"Ah, thanks." Moving his book aside. Tenko noticed.
"Izuku, you're such a softy." Knowing that Izuku was probably the most concerned for the little girl although not showing it.
"Ha, look who's talking!" Torino jumped in, having smelled the grump.
"Glad to be one." Tenko kept his gentle smile throughout, such a simple contrast to Izuku's stern glare but a distinct one between brothers.
"Ah, it smells delicious, Young Shimura. C'mon Eri his food will keep you full and warm."
"Okay." She nodded. They knew it was hard for a traumatized child to show expressions so they let her go at her own pace with encouragement, although all of them couldn't deny the swell in their chest at her reaction.
Eri had eaten a spoon full of food. "It's so yummy!" With a twinkle in her eyes. She eventually ate all of it and even asked for seconds. Her eyes began to water as she slowly lowered her spoon. "My tummy hurts..." Yet she somehow knew what this feeling was, being why she was so happy.
"Ah, you're probably full Eri."
"Full? This is how it feels like to be full?" Having only been fed enough to survive, never knowing what it meant to enjoy a meal. And it tugged at all of them.
It was a quiet but heartfelt dinner between the complex family.
Izuku was on the roof of the dorms, staring at the night sky. He was hard in thought at the circumstances of his family.
His brother, someone with arguably the most destructive quirk, disintegration.
His gramps, a forgotten legend in the hero world.
His Old man, the world's greatest hero.
"Now a child." That was being targeted by someone dangerous because of her quirk.
And yet someone was still missing.
She sighed, walking away after her match in the sport's festival. She had dejected eyes, not really focused on where she was going.
Until she bumped into him. "Apologies, I wasn't lookin-," Her eyes widened before softening realizing who it was. She clenched her fist over her bosom, letting her guard down. "Oh, Izuku, I didn't, I wasn't... I don't even know what I was doing out there." She instinctively lifted her head at an angle, leaning towards him, letting him inspect her injuries, like always. This would be her constellation, a moment with him.
Except he didn't do that. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, wondering why.
He fixed the loose strand of hair she always failed to and kissed her forehead.
"You were great, Momo."
Her onyx kitten eyes were wide to his affection. They glistened before bubbling up. She didn't hesitate to bury her face into the fabric of his shirt, letting out her frustrations.
"Izuku..!"
Thus cementing the roundabout romance of an elegant heroine and noble delinquent.
