A month have passed and it was uneventful to say the least, just some normal school stuff: joint class battle, new costumes and ultimate moves, also Shinso moving to Hero course next semester
As for Eri, she is starting to get used to living in the dorm. She sleep with Izuku, but she still need help with bath, since Izuku unable to do it, Uraraka volunteer to help her bath instead, Izuku agrees and Eri also didn't mind. Eri eventually spend most of her time with both Izuku and Uraraka
Eri is surprisingly a fast learner, and always make Yaoyorozu happy since Eri could be as smart as her when she is older
Iida always told Eri about manners 24/7 every time she does anything. One time she got so annoyed by Iida's lecture she counter him by saying
"If you talk about manners all the time. Where is your manners about not minding someone else's business?" Eri ask puffing her cheeks in annoyance
It's safe to say that Iida's brain processing system crash, it took him three days to recover. But the class enjoy three days without Iida's constant lecture
The "Bakusquad" or whatever they claimed they are, teaches Eri about the normal world, they also teach her how to socialize with others. Mina also secretly told Eri to "ship" Izuku and Uraraka
One time, Bakugou "accidentally" curse in Eri's face, and she repeated the word for hours. Izuku told Eri not to say the word, at least until she is their age. After that, Izuku shot both Bakugou's palm and force him to fight hordes of robots without quirk. No one stop Izuku because they are afraid of him, even the teachers
Sato often help Eri make candy apple, almost everyday she requested him to make candy apple. But Iida always scold her that eating it everyday is not healthy
At first, Eri is afraid of Tokoyami and Dark Shadow because their heads looked like Overhaul's mask. But Izuku reassure her that they are not him, after a while she get fond of the two. One time Dark Shadow ask her a question
"Didn't you afraid of me? Because I look scary?" Dark Shadow ask
"No, at first you looked like... him... but now I know you are not him. And about looking scary... I've seen scarier" Eri said
Dark Shadow hug the little girl while tearing up and telling her that she would never see something like that ever again
Asui, since she have a little sister, knows how to treat Eri properly. Eri even added "Kero" in the end of every sentence every time she talk to Asui
Jiro teaches Eri how to sing and Eri often sing in front of the girls every weekend nights. No one complain about the noise since Eri have a very beautiful voice and often lullaby others to sleep
Ojiro, with Izuku's permission, teaches Eri how to fight in martial arts. Izuku and Uraraka often joint as well to teach her and train themselves. Often times, Izuku would do push ups while Uraraka sit on his back and Eri sit on her lap
Eri enjoy playing with Koda's bunny, she sometimes called the bunny "Little Eri" because of the white fur and red eyes that resemble herself
Surprisingly, Eri is not afraid of Shoji's towering figure, and often ask him to lift her up so she could see everything from above
Mineta behave or distance himself from Eri because Izuku's threat of putting concealed frag grenades all over his room, and if he did or said something that near or cross the line, Izuku would blow the shit out of him in his sleep and no one will find his body
Kota visit the dorm every weekend, he and Eri would play together in the common room. Either watching the class playing Super Smash/Mario Cart/COD/Battlefield/GTA, or watching cartoons. Sometimes they would talk about how Izuku saved them and how cool he is
Eri always follow Izuku to school and a special desk was prepared beside Izuku's so Eri could sit there. Eri might not fully understood what the teachers teaches, but she silently observe them and act like she is a real student
The teachers doesn't mind since Eri never made trouble, they actually very fond of her every time they look at her who observe them with gleam eyes

Izuku give Eri a unicorn plush, but Eri want something else
"Thank you for the plush, but can I ask for something else, dad?" Eri requested
"What do you want?" Izuku ask
"Can I fire your gun?" Eri ask with hopeful eyes, her request surprise everyone
"Sigh, how many time I supposed to tell you? My guns are off limits to anyone in here, even to you. You can't fire my gun" Izuku denied the request
"But you look so cool while firing, dad" Eri said
"I use my gun to protect others, not to look cool, Eri" Izuku said
"Please?" Eri plead with puppy eyes
Izuku pat her head "That will not work on me. You cannot fire my guns. They are dangerous" Izuku said unaffected by Eri's puppy eyes that always work on others, but not him
"But my quirk is more dangerous" Eri argue
"Exactly, putting two dangerous things together is what Aizawa said and I quote "Irrational". But if you still insist on firing my guns, grow until you are my age, then I will give you permission to fire them" Izuku said
"But dad..." Eri said sadly
"No "but", and don't try to steal them" Izuku told his daughter seriously
"Yes, dad..." Eri comply sadly
Izuku look at his daughter with deep though "Want a candy apple?" He ask
Eri look at Izuku with a big smile "Yes!" She yell excited. The two then walk to the kitchen

"Ooh~ defending your husband there, Ochako?" Mina tease making Uraraka to blush

Uraraka blush even more and started floating above everyone who laugh

"Can you guys not tease her too much? Like, come on" Izuku said annoyed
"Ooh~ worried about your wife?" Mina tease
"I don't remember marrying her" Izuku said as he take Eri back from the kitchen, he look at Uraraka who still floating above him "...though I'm not against the idea" He mumble

27th December, Uraraka's birthday
Uraraka actually doesn't want her birthday to be celebrated massively, juts a small cake and a candle is enough for her. But the girls ignore her and make a big celebration instead
"Sigh, you guys can use the money for this to be use on something else" Uraraka sigh seeing the lavish party the girls prepared for her
"Nonsense! This is your birthday, girl! You need to celebrate it with revels!" Mina claim
"Sigh, I know. But this is a big waste of money" Uraraka claim
"What with you and big expensive birthday?" Jiro ask annoyed
"It's not the birthday that bothers me. It's the expensive things you buy that could be use for something useful" Uraraka said
"Uraraka, I know you don't really like a big expensive party like this, but try to enjoy it. Everyone has put their money, mind, and effort to make this. So just enjoy it" Izuku said as he walk over
"I don't know I could enjoy it..." Uraraka said looking away
"Look at me. This is your birthday, enjoy it" Izuku said smiling
Uraraka skip a beat by Izuku's smile. She look down trying not to let her flustered face to be seen by Izuku
Izuku pat her head "Everyone's waiting for you. You need to receive the presents, you know" Izuku said smiling
"...okay..." Uraraka reply nervously as she look at Izuku, his emerald green eyes, his symmetrical freckles, his calming smile, his dark green hair, and that determined handsome face. Uraraka might not acknowledge it, but she like every part of Izuku. Him being there really make her day
Mina see how romantic the atmosphere between the two, she have an idea "And speaking of presents, I have a perfect one for you" Mina smirk
"Really, what is it?" Uraraka ask
Mina push Uraraka to Izuku, who catch her "Him" She said
Uraraka blush a violent shade of pink and move away from Izuku flustered while mumbling "It's not like that" over and over
Izuku deadpan Mina who give him a thumbs up
Later, Uraraka celebrate her birthday, it's not a big as Eri's, but bigger than any birthdays she ever experienced
Eri give Uraraka a plushie Uravity, courtesy of Yaoyorozu. Uraraka tear up seeing her first merch as a present
Eri see Uraraka cry became panic "Did Uravity didn't like my present? I-I could find you a better one" She said panicking
"No... no... it's okay..." Uraraka wipe her tears "This is happy tears, Eri. Thank you for the present, you are very sweet" Uraraka kiss Eri's forehead making her to giggle
Izuku give Uraraka a very expensive and famous mochi set to her surprise
"W-w-w-what...? H-h-how...? This thing is really expensive and hard to get" Uraraka said surprised
"For the expensive part, I happen to have a large amount of money in my bank account from my Ranger Corp salary that I rarely use. And for the hard part, It's not really that hard" Izuku shrug
Uraraka hug Izuku tightly saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you" repeatedly. Izuku hug her back and close his eyes, enjoying the moment
The class, especially the girls, get their phone and take pictures of the two couple hugging. Eri smile seeing the two important people in her life are happy
The two couple separated and walk away flustered while the class woo them
Uraraka touch her face embarrassed 'Oh my God...! I hugged Midoriya! But, it wasn't so bad.... I can feel his well define muscles.... Wait! What am I thinking?!' She blush even more
Izuku smile 'She smell so nice and was so soft when I hug her.... Fuck! Get those though out of your head, idiot! But still, that was nice' Izuku smile fondly
Izuku suddenly receive a phone call. Izuku grab the phone and it was his father's number. His smile turns to grimace, his father never call him unless it was a very, very, very emergency situation
Izuku answer the call "It's me"
"Delta, First Lieutenant Nakamura's been compromised" Hisashi inform
Izuku gritted his teeth "Where?" He ask
"Tamakomai, Hokkaido. We lost contact with him 2 hours ago. 30 minutes ago he send us a distress signal that his cover is blown and requesting exfil. We're deploying a team of you and two others to rescue him" Hisashi reply
"Who's my team?" Izuku ask
"Yuri and Roach" Hisashi reply
Izuku smirk "Those two"
"Sorry this happen during you vacation in U.A." Hisashi apologize
"Sir. I'm a soldier first, a student second. And I say this before "You make the call, I'll make the shot". And beside, I've been called, I must answer" Izuku stated
"Good, a transport already on your way to pick you up. And congratulation on raising Eri, you make me proud, son" Hisashi said
"Thank you" Izuku reply then he hung up
Izuku walk to Eri with a serious look. Eri look at Izuku confuse "Why are your face like that, dad?" She ask
Izuku kneel down and hold Eri's shoulders "Eri, listen to me. Daddy's have to go to work" He said seriously
"Work?" Eri tilt her head in confusion
"Daddy have to go somewhere and fight bad guys. You gonna stay with Uravity for a while" Izuku explain
Eri grip Izuku's sleeve "Will you come back?" She ask afraid of losing him
"I will. I promise" Izuku said the he hug Eri tightly
"Midoriya, what happen?" Iida ask confuse as others
"Work...? Did you figured out where the League are hiding?" Uraraka ask surprising others
"The League..." Kaminari said surprise
"I haven't heard about them for a while now" Jiro said
"Not since they disappear from Kamino" Sero said
"But for them to appear right now is..." Asui trailed off
"It's not just the League. A friend of mine is being chased by them as we speak. He's on the edge, I need to help him" Izuku claim
"Then go, do your job. Save him like you save us, all the time" Kirishima said
"And don't worry about Eri, she's in safe hands" Tokoyami claim as the class smile confidently and show their quirks to Izuku
"I know she is" Izuku reply smiling. He pat Eri's head before running to his room
"I can believe the League are starting to move again" Kaminari said nervously
"The many times we encounter with them is never pretty" Sero said nervously
"We haven't encounter with them since Hassaikai raid, and even then it was minimal" Aizawa said
"The League are in Hassaikai raid?" Kaminari ask surprise
"Yes, though like I said earlier, their involvement are minimal" Aizawa explain
"You think they are making a move?" Toru ask worried
"Could be" Ojiro reply
'What the fuck those assholes want?' Bakugou though annoyed
Uraraka remember the time when Shigaraki make a hole in Izuku's neck. She tremble in fear when Eri hold her hand. Uraraka calm down and hold Eri's hand tightly
'The League of Villains...' The class though deeply
"This is holiday, everyone. Stop worrying about the League or anything. I'm sure Midoriya doesn't want us to worry about that, especially when he's dealing with it" Mineta claim
"That was a surprising side of you" Kaminari said surprise
"But he's right. We all know that if Midoriya's dealt with something, we don't have to worry about anything" Iida said remembering Hosu
"He really take care of everything for us every time we're trouble. I trust him on this one. Beside, he's better than any of us" Todoroki claim
The class nod in agreement when Izuku run out from the elevator wearing his Special Forces suit and Exosuit
"Midoriya, how long you will be away?" Yaoyorozu ask
"I don't know, depending on how things progress in there. Could be a day, could be a week. I'll keep you all posted" Izuku said before he run outside to a waiting Quinjet that land in front of the dorm
"Be safe, dad!" Eri yell as everyone walk outside to see Izuku deploy
Izuku raise his fist before entering the Quinjet. The ramp door close and the jet take off and fly away to the north
"Dad will be okay, right?" Eri ask Uraraka worried
Uraraka lift Eri to her arms "Don't worry, he's the toughest man I ever know in my life. He saved us multiple times and always survived. He will be okay" Uraraka reassure her
Everyone then get back in and enjoy the rest of Uraraka's birthday without Izuku
For most people in Japan, they are enjoying their time of peace. But unfortunately, not all good things last forever. By the change of the new year, things will change, forever
