Bakugo's POV

I woke up to find Deku gone and quickly checked my phone to see that he went down to cook and wanted me to sleep or keep an eye on both Eri and Kiri. 

I let out a sigh and relaxed again sometime during the night I had managed to lay down in the bed and Kiri and Eri were cuddled against me and weirdly enough there is plenty of space for Deku so I can only assume that is where he slept last night. It's about the right area of where he was when he was watching the movie last night. 

It was very weird to have another guy cuddling me but it didn't really feel wrong still. After last night he feels more like a child or an even closer friend than before. Fuck I thought he was already my best friend?

'Deku?' I called out thinking hard, hoping he would hear me.

'Kacchan?' he answered happily. 

'I don't understand what I'm feeling right now. Kiri is cuddling me and honestly it doesn't feel any different than with Eri.' I can't help the angry look on my face. 

I hear his giggles before his answer, 'That's because you love him.' 

'No I don't! I only love you. you are mine and only mine!' I started to panic no, no, no, no, no. 

'Relax, deep breaths now.' I do as he says and he continues. 'You love him like family and that is okay. You just said it felt the same as with Eri.' I feel myself relaxing hearing him say that. 

'So your saying I love him like a son?' I'm a little confused, he is way too old to be my son.

Deku's quiet laughter flows into the room as he opens the door, 'More like a brother.' I smile at that. Damn Red, maybe that's why you are always calling me bro? 

'I think I like that idea,' I grin at my boyfriend. 

'Good help me get him up without waking Eri. It's time for training.' I nod at Deku's words and after a lot of effort and a bit of time we manage. We left her in the room alone after Deku and I gave her a small kiss on the forehead. She knew that we would let her sleep during training in the mornings just like we did at our parents house over the weekend. 

Kirishima's POV

We quietly leave the room and Midoriya stops me, "Don't tell anyone anything yet. Let us explain after training okay?" I nod my head just happy that they trusted me and that they cared for me. I still can't get over last night, they were just too perfect for words. 

We all met at the training building and we went through our drills; today Midoriya didn't lift us on the air but concentrated on his fire and Bakubro was releasing his explosions while trying to keep water in the air constantly revolving around us to create a semi private barrier. It looked really cool and I hardened myself letting the both of them use me as a target. I was getting really good at my aim and was considering adding throwing stars to my costume. Deku convinced me that shurikens were better because they could be more precise. Needless to say my aim was about to get a lot more training. 

When training was finally done we all went back to the dorms and cleaned up before I went back to Midoriya's room. I knocked on the door ready for whatever they had for me. It was not lost on me that they had a bunch of sound proofing stuff up, even last night when I was a mess. So I wasn't too worried about if they were in there or not. 

Bakubro opened the door and just like yesterday pulled me in by my collar. What I wasn't expecting was that after he locked the door again he grabbed me and hugged me again. I was so surprised that I froze for a second before melting and wrapping my arms around him again but this time I didn't cry. 

"Red, I'm here for you. Just don't hug me in front of the extras or they will think they can too. Got it?" Does that mean what I think it means? Midoriya help! Tell me if this is actually okay or not! 

"Don't worry Kiri, you're family now it would be weird if we didn't hug right?" Thank you, thank you, thank you! Midoriya you are the best! I wish you would hug me now!

"Family hug?" I asked nervously and Midoriya and Eri who were wide awake now standing next to me wrapped their arms around me too. I could get used to this, I let out an almost silent sigh of relief and happiness. Yes that is what this is, happiness. I almost forgot what with all the heartache these past few weeks. I might not be over Tetsutetsu yet but I will be and now I know that I have friends that will support me and help. I'm not alone.

Deku's POV

Kiri took everything pretty much in stride. He didn't really get why we were keeping it a secret until I explained that they might not let her stay with us all the time if they knew. It was one thing for us to take care of a victim and another to raise a child. We are still in school to be heros. Then he wanted nothing more than to take care of little Eri and keep our secret. He agreed to 'convince' her to call me Daddy and Kacchan Papa so that everyone will think it was an inside joke instead of a fact. 

I can't help noticing when Eri's tummy grumbled and she turned a light shade of pink. Kacchan and I laughed while Kiri acted offended that we didn't have anything for her to snack on in the room. We had eaten all the junk food last night during the movie. Note to self buy some bananas and apples for our rooms. 

"I love you Daddy and Papa. I love you too Uncle E!" Eri said smiling before we unlocked the door. She wanted to get it out of her system since it would be at least until tonight that she could call us Daddy and Papa again. We responded with hugs and kisses and I love you too's, even Uncle E. I actually suggested Uncle E or Uncle Red but she liked E better. He wasn't nearly so clingy or all in yet but he was already very fond of her, before all of this and I think the fact she saw him crying and wanted to help only made him love her a little more. 

We walked down the hall with Eri holding Kacchan and my hands with her swinging them back and forth with Kiri behind her making sure she didn't trip or anything. I blame the family cuddles for this one. Now it feels like it's the four of us that are family instead of three and I'm perfectly okay with that. 

Bakugo's POV

We enter the kitchen to find out that only one of the muffins were gone. Good, I grab two and so does Deku we each put one in front of Eri and she happily starts eating while Deku and I take our time, laughing as we watched her. 

"What's so funny this early in the morning?" Round face questioned walking in. You wouldn't know that she had been training this morning by the looks of her. It looked like she just rolled out of bed, not out of a shower. She was rubbing at her eyes as if she had sleep in them still. Bitch just how? Deku had you running laps while floating making it easily ten times as hard. 

"Oh Eri is just being cute. She is trying to eat a muffin by stuffing her cheeks like a squirrel." Deku's answer was so spot on I couldn't help laughing even more. 

"That's nice," she continued walking, grabbed her own muffin and sat down. She might have eaten two maybe three bites before she started choking, "Who?" 

I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. "Priceless!" 

"King Explosion Murder," I hear her grumble but I keep laughing anyway, I still liked that name. 

When I was finally done laughing Eri was all done eating. Well what wasn't on her face anyway. "Come on little princess, let's go wash your face," I offer her my hand and my voice is soft, making round face stare at me in shock but I ignore her. 

"Okay Kacchan!" She laughs seeing the brown hair girl as we walk out of the room. 

"I told you so," I tell her really low so only she could hear me and her giggles filled the air. "Okay next stop bath time!" She squealed happily and we make our way to the more private bathroom. I get her all clean and after calling for Deku to bring me some clothes for her she is dressed in her bright green sequin princess dress. Turns out her favorite color is green so it was no wonder that she wanted Midoriya to be her last name. Who knew? But I also saw her reaction once she found out it was Deku's real name she started jumping up and down clapping her hands. Yep she is a fangirl, just as much as Deku is a fanboy. I wouldn't want it any other way honestly.

I get her matching green shoes and tie her hair up in a pastel green ribbon. I had plenty of practice growing up with several girl 'cousins' always coming over all the time, not that they ever came over again after I went to middle school, and this past weekend Eri made sure I remembered by having me do her hair every which way I could. Today I had her hair braided with a couple green ribbons braided through her hair as well. In short she looked like a princess. 

"Picture time!" Deku sings when we walk out as he snapped pictures of me and Eri smiling and laughing. We pose for a couple and switch off so I can take pictures of him with her. Then came Kiri and he got a few shots with her and then he took some of the three of us. Before a selfy of all four of us. They really looked good and Eri looked so cute. She wanted to take two with her to class and she picked one with the three of us and the one with the four of us which I put on the inside cover of her little work book. We helped her put on her little backpack and the four of us walked to school, the rest of the class just frozen in shock as we walked away, looks like they are going to be late. Most of our classmates were all still standing in the living room nowhere close to ready for class. I can't help smiling at myself, this is going to be so fun. 

Aizawa's POV

I walk into class to see Eri standing there beside Midoriya in a green princess dress with sparkly green shoes and light green ribbons in her hair. She just looked up hearing the door open and her already smiling face beamed when she saw me. 

"Uncle Aizawa!" She came running and launched herself at my waist knocking me back a bit. 

"Eri!" I smiled hugging her to me and Yamada popped his head in. 

"Eri?" I had told him over the weekend that she would be in my class most days of the week and he was crying happy tears just like I was. If nothing else we could know that she was safe. 

"Uncle Hizashi!" She launched herself at my husband and never have I ever been so thankful to whomever her new adopted parents were. They didn't have to do this, hell they could have taken her to the other side of the world and we would have never known. But whoever they are they decided to let her stay here with us. It was almost like they knew...

"Now who are the boys you will be staying with? Your guardians?" I need to know who I had to talk to about what and since no one will tell me either her parents or her family name they will just have to do. 

"Deku and Kacchan! Do you like my new dress?" She twirled around in it before looking up at me again, not noticing the look of shock on my face. "They took me shopping this weekend and let me pick it out! Kacchan was super nice and we all got ice cream after! Whenever I was allowed to walk around the store he would follow me everywhere and he even showed me where I could find the shoes and and ..." She was going a mile a minute just gushing about her trip with my problem children. It just had to be my monster children didn't it? They are not even problem children anymore, just monsters.

"Oh and Uncle E stayed with us last night and we watched 'The Rise of All Might!' It was such a great movie but I want to see one of your movies too Uncle Aizawa and Uncle Hizashi!" She was giving me those adorable puppy dog eyes of hers and I was just shocked. She thinks all heros have movies? 

"Eri, Eraserhead is an undercover hero so he does most of his work in secret so they can't make a movie for him and Present Mic tends to make a show out of his hero work anyway so it would almost be a waste to make one when he already does his own right?" Midoriya tells her softly. 

"But if you really want I just might have some old news clips of the two of them?" I hear him whisper in her ear and her eyes light up like she is in a candy shop. Thank you Midoriya! I will never say that out loud but you have my thanks for keeping her dreams alive! I swear I see him smile at me before he turned to return to his seat, leaving Eri with me. 

"KACCHAN!" She suddenly screamed and ran at Bakugo jumping into his arms landing in his lap. "Do I get my own desk too? Do I get to sit with you and Deku? Or do I get to sit in your lap? Do I? Do I? Do I?" 

To my growing horror I watch as Bakugo actually smiled at Eri. "Whatever you want little princess." His voice is so soft and gentle leaving no hint of the angry teen that he still is although not near to the level he used to be. He then proceeds to rub noses with her making her giggle in the process. 

"What the FUCK? Mineta walks into the classroom just in time to see the sweet smiling Bakugo and has frozen in place making several of his classmates walk into him in their hurry to get to their seats. Eri however was startled and started to cry burying her face into Bakugo's chest. 

I watched as his face morphed before my very eyes from happy, fun, loving to straight up evil before he started screaming at the other boy. 

"What the FUCK is that supposed to mean you fucking pervert? Stay the fuck out of it and mind your own damn business, you fucking ra-gRape bastard! If you ever come near her I will personally make sure-" He seemed to correct his words at the last second glancing down at Eri before going on like nothing happened. All the while he was screaming and cursing he was setting off explosion after explosion with a look that if it could kill Mineta would have died long before he was ever born.

I stand there my eyes wide just watching as Midoriya and Bakugo take turns consoling the little girl in their care while Bakugo would return to threatening Mineta within an inch of his life. And I believe every word of it too. But my question is how is she not upset by Bakugo's language if Mineta's upset her? It was almost like she couldn't hear it when he talked but at the same time I know that she can. 

Mineta then trying to calm Bakugo, because like that has EVER happened before, he stepped forward even closer to Eri making her cry even harder and Midoriya took her and cradled her to his chest and Bakugo started chasing the much smaller boy around the room setting off several explosions as he did. Yelling things like Fucking pervert! or Waste of fucking space you fucking sticky son of a bitch and so on. Kirishima was crouching next to Eri trying to help Midoriya calm her down making funny faces as he did with a funny voice to match. 

"Enough!" I activate my quirk stopping Bakugo's in the process which didn't stop him from punching the walking sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen, but I ignored that. 

"Return to your seats, class is starting." I glared at them all, save Eri, who was still sniffling in Midoriya's arms at his seat. I watched as they all found their seats and then started with role call.
