You smile as Aizawa drives down the road, heading to the house; the kids are in the back, enjoying the car ride. "When we get to the house, can we make cookies?" Eri asks.

"Of course we can," you smile and turn around, looking at your daughter. Aizawa starts to hum softly, nodding his head to the song playing on the radio.

"Oh, this is a good one," Aizawa smiles as he turns it up.

"Hey, Present Mic likes this song," Shoto smiles.

"Who do you think showed it to him?" Aizawa chuckles.

You smile at Aizawa as he starts to sing softly. He reaches over, grabbing your hand and squeezing it softly. Your stomach fills with butterflies as he strokes your hand with his thumb. He lifts your hand, kissing it softly as he keeps his eyes on the road. Your eyes widen as you hear Shoto start to sing. Aizawa smiles and keeps singing. You glance in the mirror and see Hitoshi's cheeks are bright red as Shoto sings, staring out the window.

Shoto looks at Hitoshi. "Are you okay? Why are you so red?" He asks.

"No reason. Can we turn on the AC?" Hitoshi says quickly. You turn on the AC and try not to giggle.

You keep driving, getting to the grocery store to pick up a few things. The kids get out, and Hitoshi holds Eri as you all walk into the store. Shoto stays by you as you pick a few things out, setting them into the car. "Do you know Hitoshi's favorite song?" He asks.

"I do... why?" You ask, putting chocolate chips into the cart.

"Is it something I can play on the piano?" Shoto asks.

You glance at him and nod. "It is. He likes the song, Something by The Beatles... it reminds him of his parents. His dad used to sing it to his mom all the time," You smile.

"Do... do you think he'd like it if I play it for him? He played my favorite song on the piano and... I...I've been taking lessons with Mic after classes...." Shoto mumbles. "I knew he liked The Beatles, so I learned a bunch of songs from them," he says.

Your heart feels like it's going to burst. "Shoto, that is so sweet. I think he'd love that... You should ask Aizawa to play guitar," you smile. His eyes widen.

"He plays?" He asks, smiling a little.

"Yeah. He lies and says Mic is the musically talented one, but... he was in a band with Mic when they were younger. Him and another one of their friends. Mic sang and played bass, Shota played guitar, and their friend was on drums," you giggle.

"Okay... I'll ask," Shoto smiles.

Aizawa walks up, setting chips into the cart. "What are you two scheming up?" he asks.

"Can you play the guitar for me? I want to sing something for Hitoshi. I think he likes my singing because he was sitting on my cold side in the car, and he said he was hot..." Shoto says.

Aizawa chuckles. "Sure. Beatles?" He smiles, and Shoto nods.

You hear Eri giggle as she and Hitoshi run down the aisle together. He tosses in some ice cream and looks at all of you. "What?" He asks, smiling.

"Nothing! Ready?" You smile. Everyone nods and walks to check out.

You get back in the car and start to head to the house. Aizawa pulls into the driveway, and you all unload the car, making your way into the house. "Hitoshi, Eri, can you help me in the kitchen?" You smile.

"Sure, mommy," Eri smiles and walks to the kitchen. Hitoshi follows her, and you nod to Aizawa and Shoto.

"Come on," Aizawa smiles. He walks down the hallway, and they get to a door. Aizawa takes out a key and unlocks the door. He opens it and flips the light switch on, and walks down a narrow staircase. Shoto follows him and his eyes widen when he sees a massive room with a piano, multiple guitars, and a drum set.

"Woah..." he whispers.

"Yeah... Mic has one at his house that matches mine... do not tell Jirou or Kaminari... they will want to come to touch everything," he grumbles. Aizawa walks over to a black guitar and picks it up. He puts the strap over his head and sits on a stool.

"Won't they hear us?" Shoto asks.

"Nope. Completely soundproof." He smiles. "Alright... show me what you've got," he nods to the piano. Shoto clears his throat and sits down.

"Where did they go?" Hitoshi asks as you put the last of the groceries away.

"Probably checking everything out. It's alright; we can make dinner," you smile. He nods and starts to help you cook.

"Mommy?" Eri asks.

"Yes, baby?" You smile.

"Is Auntie Arlis okay?" She says.

The question stabs your heart. The answer is no, far from it. "Of course she is... why?" You say softly.

"Her hair is different," Eri shrugs. "Different?" Hitoshi asks. "Yeah! It used to be purple and like... a Rosey pink... and now it's turning green and purple. Is she sick?" Eri asks.

"She is, but she will be fine, I promise," you nod.

"Is Uncle Keigo gonna take care of her?" Eri asks happily.

"Uncle Keigo wants to date her," Hitoshi mumbles.

You smack the back of his head, and he laughs. "Hush... yes, Uncle Keigo will watch over her," you smile.

"Alright, gremlins! Foods done!" Arlis shouts. All of class 1-A run down the stairs and stop when they see the kitchen with tons of food. There is fried chicken, yams, greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread all laid out for them. On the stove, there are two casserole dishes of fresh peach cobbler.

"Did you cook?" Izuku asks, his mouth watering as he stares at the food.

"That smells amazing," Momo smiles.

"Yeah... is that peach cobbler!?" Shoji asks, his eyes widening.

"Yeah! I figured you guys could use a home-cooked meal every once in a while. Shit's been too sad, and you guys need some good food! I made soul food... it's my comfort food, and I figured it might cheer you up, so eat up! There is ice cream in the freezer for the cobbler" she smiles. Keigo walks out of the hall, and his eyes widen seeing the food. He glances at the fried chicken, and his mouth waters.

She starts to walk out, and Bakugou glances at her. "Aren't you gonna eat with us?" He asks.

"In a sec. I've got to make some phone calls," she smiles and leaves.

"Go ahead and eat, guys," Keigo smiles. They all rush to load up their plates.

"I swear to god, Kaminari, if you eat all of the mac and cheese, I'll get Bakugou to blow you up," Mina giggles.

"You will let me eat as much mac and cheese as I want!" Denki says.

"Dude, you got a stomach ache last time..." Sero laughs.

Shoji pulls down his mask and takes a bite from his plate. "The stomach ache will be worth it for this. This is amazing," he smiles.

Keigo walks out and looks around. He flies up to the roof and gasps seeing Arils curled over, holding her stomach in pain. "Fuck...goddamn it," she grumbles.

She growls, and her eyes turn pitch black, black and neon green venom drip out of her mouth. She growls again, and her eyes snap back to normal. She coughs and shakes her head. He lands in front of her. He takes a cloth out of his pocket and lifts her chin. She blinks a few times, and he cleans her face.

"It's that fucking medicine, isn't it?" He asks. She nods a little. "Stop taking it. It's killing you," he says sadly.

"It's helping me do my job," she sighs.

"Arlis..."

"I can't lose anyone else. I can't. I'll fucking snap, Keigo. I've been hanging on by a goddamn thread, and if I lose anyone else..." she shakes her head and looks down. "I can't lose Y/N... I can't lose Aizawa... I can't lose the kids... I can't lose Via... I can't lose you... If something happened to any of you... I..." she sniffles and wipes her eyes.

He holds her face and sighs. "You aren't going to lose any of us... but you need to remember we can't lose you. You're part of our family, too," he whispers.

Her ears twitch, and her eyes change to black. She growls at him, her body tensing. His eyes widen, and she pounces on him, pinning him down. Her tail swishes back and forth as she looks at him, sniffling him carefully.

"Ummm... Arlis..." he whispers. She growls again and nuzzles her face against his neck.

"Uhh... hmm... hey... you, are, uhh," he mumbles as her face gets close to him. She looks at him, her tail moving around playfully. "Ari..." he says softly.

Her head shakes, and her eyes go back to normal. She stares at him and blinks a few times. "You...smell good," she grumbles.

"Yup," he nods. She gets off of him, and he quickly stands up.

"Sorry," she whispers.

"It's okay... does it, umm... make you more... cat-like?" He says, his face burning up.

"Yeah... I fucking knocked over like six glasses as I was cooking...I hissed at the fucking sink like a weirdo..." she giggles.

He chuckles and nods. "Can I do anything to stop it?" He asks.

"No... it just means I need another dose," she says.

"Arlis..."

"I can't detox around the kids, Keigo. I will when they get back," she shrugs.

He grabs her hand and looks at her. "Arlis I... I care about you... and I want you to take care of yourself..." he says softly.

"Jesus, you sound like Y/N," she chuckles.

"I mean it," he says, stepping closer to her. He looks at her, holding her hand tightly.

"Okay," she nods.

"Okay..."
