Izuku POV

Today was Wednesday, Katsuki was at school and Eri was getting ready to come with me see Iida. I had a new song ready that I was going to show him and Eri was more then excited to be the second listener, the first being my dear friend Shinso who I payed a visit to last night. I was actually able to do this song in one day. If it weren't for Kacchan and Eri, I probably wouldn't have ate whatsoever. I double check my belongings and lean against the doorframe replaying the lyrics in my head.

"I'm ready Uku!" Eri smiles spinning on herself showing off her outfit .
"You look great Eri!" I smile and she giggles grabbing her small purse that she bought with Mina. It was so adorable.

I open the door for her.
"Lady's first." I smile and she walks out pretending to be a princess making me chuckle as I close the door behind me.

Time skip

I walk inside the studio with Eri holding on to my hand.
"Midoriya! It's been too long!" I look and see Iida come up to us and I wave. I look and see that Eri was hiding behind me.
"Hey Iida, this is Eri! Eri this is Iida, he's my boss, he's also my friend." I smile and she nods giving an unsure smile.
"You look gorgeous today, did a stylist come help you?" He asks with a small smile squatting to be more at her level and her eyes lit up instantly.
"No I did it on my own! You really think it's that pretty?" She asks excited and he gives her a surprised look.
"Wow, then it's even better!" He gives her a high five and she looks at me with a smile covering her face.
"I like Iida! He has good taste!" She giggles making us laugh and he get's back up motioning us to follow him.

We walk in in the recording studio where I sit on the couch with Eri and Iida on the chair in front of the audio system.
"So, you have the two new songs for the show?" He asks and I nod yes.
"I actually have three but the third one is more of a surprise song for her so I'll send it to you later." I explain and he nods.
"The song I helped you with at the beginning!?" She asks shocked and I nod chuckling.
"The exact one." I kiss the top of her head as she squirms around in excitement.

I look back at my manager who had a small smile. "Come on, we have some work to do!" I nod with a short laugh before getting up.
"Stay here okay? I'll be right there and you'll be able to see me the whole time." When she nods in approval I go ont the recording side and take out the keyboard.

"Ready when you are!" I nod taking a deep breath and starting.

(Wake Up by Madison Reyes in the series Julie and the Phantoms.)

Here's one thing I want you to know
You got someplace to go
Life's a test, yes, but you go toe-to-toe
You don't give up, no, you grow

And you use your pain
'Cause it makes you "you"
Though I wish I could hold you through it
I know it's not the same
You got living to do
And I just want you to do it
So get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

Better wake those demons
Just look them in the eye
No reason not to try
Life can be a mess
I won't let it cloud my mind
I'll let my fingers fly

And I use the pain 'cause it's part of me
And I'm ready to power through it
Gonna find the strength, find the melody
'Cause you showed me how to do it
Get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

So wake that spirit, spirit
I wanna hear it, hear it
No need to fear it, you're not alone
You're gonna find your way, oh

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
When you feel lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up
Mm-mm, wake up

I take a deep breath looking at the keyboard before walking to the other side of the glass. "What do you think?" I ask curious.

"Uku.. You.. You're awesome." Eri says looking at me with admiration.
"Agreed, you surprise me every time." Lida says clapping his hands slowly a smile on his face making me sigh in relief.

"Good, so wanna hear the other one?" I ask with a small smile.

"HELL YEAH!" Eri yells and I look at her with a scold.
"Bakugo's tainting on her?" Iida asks followed by a short chuckles as I nod.
"Eri, language. I know Kacchan is great but when you get in school you could get in trouble if you say one by accident." I smile sitting next to her.
"Ohh.. I'm sorry Uku.. I just really want to hear your new song.." She mumbles ashamed and I hug her with a small smile.
"I know, don't worry, it's okay this time but I want you to be careful." I smile and she rapidly nods her head yes.

"Ready when you are Midoriya!" Iida smiles and I nod walking back behind the glass.

.oOo.

I had finished with my second song and Eri was chatting away with Iida who was trying to keep up.

"Would you like to go meet our stylist Eri?" He offers and she looks at me with pleading eyes waiting for my approval and I laugh shortly.
"If you want then I'm okay with that." Once I finish talking she jumps up and looks at us excited. If she would have known in which direction to go, she'd be long gone-

"Let's go then." Iida leads the way and Eri wasn't even walking in a straight line from excitement.

We enter a room that immediately catches Eri's attention since it was full of clothes, I take back that her wardrobe is full. This is humongous.

"Momo-san, this Eri, she's Midoriya's kid, she loves fashion so would you have time to show her around?" He asks looking at the black haired girl who squealed in excitement and went to present herself to Eri kidnapping her to give her a tour.

Eri seemed more comfortable with woman then man, considering Chisaki's a man then it makes sense. She was still vigilant, of course, but she was way more confident.

"So, how are you adapting with her?" Iida asks with a hint of concern.
"Great, she's been bringing a lot of life, she's like a little ball of joy." I chuckle looking at her walk around as she was shown a bunch of different things with an excited Momo pulling her around.

"You seem to be doing a good job, not going to lie, you have it in you to raise a child." Iida taps my back with a small smile.

"Thanks Iida." I smile at my friend.

"And how's Bakugo taking it?" He asks concerned and I chuckle awkwardly.
"Well let's just say there's quite a few things that happened in the last weeks-" I answer awkwardly and he raises an eyebrow with a questioning look.

"Well, first off, he actually treats Eri like his own daughter, second well.. We kinda started dating." I laugh nervously and he looks at me wide eyed.

"You're serious?" He asks shocked.
"Well remember Dynamight from a while back? In my second live." I question and after a few seconds of thinking, he nods yes.

"That's Bakugo. We continued talking and all, after a while he connected the dots and understood I was Deku. We've kinda started dating then." I explain and he takes a few seconds to process the information.

"I know it is none of my business and I'm saying this as a friend. But he's never been really been close to you I believe. Are you sure he isn't dating you only because you're Deku? It could be toxic if he doesn't like you for the real you." He looks at me with a hint of concern.
"I'm not too worried about that. Even before he figured it out, we had gotten closer in real life. It was weird at first, but he would even take care of me when I didn't feel well." I reassure him and he looks completely shocked.

"Wow, now I feel like I've missed a lot more then two weeks!" We laugh at his comment.

"What about your love life?" I ask curious and he looks in the direction of the girls, it didn't take me long for me to understand and looking at him wide eye. "Momo?" I whisper and he nods with an embarrassed expression.

"Please don't tell her, it would be unprofessional of me." He says with a formal face making me chuckle.
"Don't worry Iida-kun, but don't keep it in too long, if the feeling stays, tell her. If you don't you might find it harder to stay focused on work." I explain and he nods, if it didn't include work, then he didn't see a reason to work on his personal life. So it was a discret way of encouraging him to do it.

I take my phone out of my pocket after feeling it vibrate. I answer seeing Kacchan's contact.

"Hey Kacchan, what's up?" I ask.
"The hag and your mom came to visit.. Could you come back soon? I have absolutely no clue what to do." He says trying to not speak to loud but I could clearly hear the panic.
"Please tell me Toshinori is there." I mumble.
"Yeah, my old man too. But they aren't the scary one's here." He whisper shouts and I would laugh if I wasn't panicking.
"Kay, I'm gonna come with Eri." I say and I hear a hum. "Good luck-" I hang up before looking at Iida with a little panic. "I have to go" I say and he nods.
"Good luck with your mother-" He taps my shoulder in compassion and I give him a quick smile.

"Eri, we have to go, if Momo can we could come back soon." I smile, they both nod saying their goodbyes and I take a deep breath.

Here goes nothing.
