All Might had been right about Y/n being a very affectionate person. Aizawa deduced it to being deprived of love and care, he couldn't deny her anymore. When everyone else went their own ways, he opened his arms awkwardly enough for her to hug him.

The star-eyed gaze she gave him, he will never forget, chuckling a little when he felt her buzz with excitement. Almost jumping in glee.

Aizawa and Y/n were walking arm in arm down a small hill on his private land. His home was located on a hill with other heroes living nearby. The drive from U.A. wasn't long, and they were near the coast. A place that was highly secure and no villains infiltrated due to all the heroes staying there.

He parked his sleek black sedan near the front gate. And they both walked the rest of the way towards his home. The pathway was very quiet and well lit. Walking down with him, she felt at peace. He had created the perfect sanctuary for anyone that lived here. It was very serene.

Y/n could hear crickets and see fireflies roam around the area. The sun was already setting, a glow of orange, pink and red mixed in the horizon.

As they walked closer to the family home, Y/n loved how quaint her new home was.

Aizawa explained how he bought this land back in his younger years, saving up as much money as he could. He slowly started to build his dream home as time passed by. And meeting Hitoshi and Eri, he was able to start the family he's always wanted.

His land was gated from the other houses and was in the middle of adding more rooms so Y/n, Rosalinda and Miguel could stay over when they wanted to. He stated earlier Rosalinda was already at the house as well as Miguel.

Miguel and Eri had been there all day with a babysitter. He hoped everything went well, he wanted all his adopted children to get along. Unfortunately, Yamada and Kayama were pulled for an important mission, and Y/n wouldn't meet them today.

Aizawa unlocked the giant oak door of the wide one-story home, the door creaking as it opened. Y/n at first noticed the soft lighting from inside and the smell of firewood. They took off their shoes, and walked through the small hallway, full of pictures of a little girl with white hair, a small horn on her right forehead and red eyes. A young man with purple hair and tired purple eyes. Y/n saw a resemblance from him and Aizawa even though they were not related by blood.

She also noticed photos of students with Aizawa for different occasions. She's never seen so many photos like this before. Aizawa sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck as she continued to stare at them.

"I like to capture moments. Don't tell the other students, they need to fear me." He grumbled in his dad voice.

"Afraid, they'll see how big of a softie you are? I'm sure they already know..." Y/n grinned knowingly at him.

They heard pots and pans clack from somewhere deeper inside the house, the smell of different spices mixing with firewood as they got closer. Walking towards the noise, they turned the corner leading to an open spaced kitchen and a large dining table.

The kitchen was very rustic. Decorated in bronze and dark colors.

They saw Rosalinda moving around the kitchen, like a tornado with steam coming out of different pots and pans. The sound of soft music playing in the background, as Rosalinda made her way with dinner.

The same little girl, Y/n saw in the photos was sitting on the middle island countertop, eating a homemade candy apple with a wide grin, humming along with the music.

"Hey girls, I brought Y/n with me." Aizawa stepped behind Y/n to give her space to properly introduce herself.

Eri's little body slightly turned to look at the new girl she would be calling her sister.

When she first met Rosalinda, she'd been shy, quiet, and polite. She was still getting used to the idea of having more siblings, but she couldn't help to smile. When she played all day with Miguel, they both bonded really well. She shared all her snacks and toys with him.

All while Miguel the whole time talked about Y/n and Rosalinda, how much of a hero they both were to him. Specially how, Y/n had sacrificed herself so many times for him and everyone else. He said in his eyes, they will forever be his heroes.

Eri gushed at meeting her future sisters, they sounded so much like Izuku. Making the smaller girl feel butterflies in bubbling excitement and nerves.

After Izuku saved her, she became his number one fan. Then meeting all the other students of class 3-A during their first year, she got close with them all too. She liked to wear their merch pajamas whenever she went to bed.

The little girl was still nervous about meeting new people. But when she met Rosalinda, it went surprisingly well, there were a few awkward moments, but that was to be expected. Eri was beginning to feel comfortable around the older girl and she decided to stay with her as she cooked the family dinner, the little girl occasionally helping when the older girl asked.

Eri asked a lot of questions about Y/n since she was the only one, she hadn't met yet. She learned Y/n was around the same age as class 3-A and she was a little nervous to meet the girl.

Everybody spoke so highly of her, what if she didn't like the troublesome eight-year-old?

However, when she saw Y/n with a bright smile as she introduced herself to the little girl. Those dark thoughts vanished instantly.

The hero Miguel spoke so highly off finally registering on the smaller girl. Eri's eyes filled with wonder as she was finally able to put a face to the name. Y/n was still in her U.A. uniform and seeing her like that, made her think of all the nice friends she made at the campus.

People that went to U.A were all so kind from what Eri experienced.

Eri waved her candy apple in greeting. "Hello." Her voice came out small and timid as she looked at Y/n.

Aizawa stayed in the background with Rosalinda, who was slowly walking towards him to help him take off his signature large scarf. They both silently prayed the meeting with the two girls went okay. From what it looked like; Rosalinda was able to get close to Eri without any trouble. She did have the motherly vibe about her.

When Aizawa checked with the babysitter every hour he was delighted to hear Miguel and Eri, were together all day non-stop.

Now it was Y/n's turn.

Y/n stared at the girl with long white hair and red eyes. Noticing how they resembled hers when she used her quirk, just like Aizawa's too.

She knew some of the trauma Eri went through because of what Aizawa warned her about. Eri never liked it when people caged her, if she wanted to hug someone, she would have to initiate it herself.

A total opposite of how Y/n was.

Usually when Eri tugged on people's pants or shirts that was a tell-tale sign she was ready.

She spoke very properly and quiet, making no noise as she moved around. Y/n understood all of this. Everybody dealt with PTSD in different ways, like for Y/n she loved affection but only if she trusted the person. She could see how Eri, would be the opposite after not being able to trust someone for such a long time.

She was lucky in having her siblings around and being able to connect with the other captured people. Y/n was just happy Eri got out sooner and she didn't have to keep living that way until a later age.

Y/n getting a little closer to Eri turned on her quirk, only letting her red eyes take over and not actually use the other aspects. Rosalinda smiling at her younger sister understood right away what she was trying to do.

Eri at seeing Y/n's eyes, slightly gasped then giggled as Y/n smiled kindly at her.

"You see Eri, we have the same eyes. How can we not be related?" Y/n got a little closer to the small girl, making sure she wasn't breaking any boundaries.

Eri only smiled brighter as she got closer to her. Curious to see her eyes that resembled her own.

In the background, Aizawa's tense formed relaxed, knowing that everything would be fine. Rosalinda told him earlier, when he called slightly panicking, that Y/n was great with kids and she would have no trouble speaking with the girl, but Aizawa still had his doubts.

Rosalinda looked over at the old man and mouthed Told you so, earning a slight glare from him.

As Y/n and Eri continued to talk, with Eri still seated on the counter and Y/n leaning on it as she listened to the girl intently.

Eri went over her adventure for the day, excitedly moving her arms around. There was a dragon, her and Miguel defeated to save the imaginary princess in the backyard. Apparently, they lost a lot of soldiers, the soldiers being rocks with painted faces they colored in.

Y/n listened to every word coming out of Eri, the little girl got so much into the story she relaxed fully around Y/n's presence. She even shared some of the candy apple she was eating with her.

"Eri, how do you feel about spicy and sweet mixed together?" Y/n asked to an intrigued smiling little girl.

Eri tilted her head to the side not understanding her. "Hmm, I don't know. When Kacchan comes over to bake cookies we always make them sweet."

Y/n getting an idea looked over at Aizawa. He was wrapped in a black apron, with his hair tied in a low bun, helping Rosalinda finish dinner.

"Hey dadzawa, do you mind if me and Eri go to the store to buy some stuff?" Eri with wide eyes turned to Aizawa with a pleading look as she nodded her head eagerly.

Clearly wanting to leave the house with her sister.

"You want to go out now... in the dark. After what happened at school today?" Aizawa asked perplexed.

Rosalinda looked over at Y/n scowling. "What happened?"

Y/n waved her hand dismissively at the stone-faced girl. "I can explain later, but this is very important I want to make a candy apple that I'm sure Eri will really like." Y/n winked at the girl who grinned in return.

Aizawa nodded understanding. "Sure, let's all go. Do you need anything from the store Rosie?"

"Maybe some drinks, whatever you all like. Dinner will be ready by the time you come back. Miguel and Hitoshi are in the back, they mentioned something about defeating a dragon who came back from the dead or something."

The older girl was so confused when she saw Miguel and Hitoshi throwing rocks at a plushie dragon, outside the kitchen window.

"I'll let them know where you went."

"Great, we'll be back then. Come on girls." Aizawa made his way towards the hallway getting his keys and coat to leave once again. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Eri clinging on to Y/n's hand happily.

Y/n talked about her day at U.A. skipping over the panic attack only going over meeting new friends, and how big the campus looked. It seemed like Aizawa was worrying about nothing.

*************

After a trip to the store and the Hispanic cuisine aisle hunt. They got all the ingredient's Y/n needed to make the snack for Eri.

She was still going to use the candy apple's Rosalinda made but was going to add a couple of other ingredients. When they went back to the house, the girls ran over excitedly to the kitchen almost pushing Rosalinda out of the way.

Rosalinda laughed at their behavior and smiled with affection towards her sister. Y/n was always good at acting like a child when she was around children. It was the best way to get along with children, mimic their giddiness but still talk to them normally.

Not condescending like most adults did. Children were very smart even when they couldn't comprehend big words.

"Alright, little Snow. You ready to start the operation of spicing the apples?" Y/n's tone was serious and determined as her and Eri rubbed their hands clean on the kitchen sink.

Eri having to stand on a little stool, so she could fully reach the warm water, had Y/n internally scream in giddiness from how cute she looked.

"Yes sissy."

Eri's enthusiasm died down as she realized what stumbled out of her mouth. The word spilled out before she could stop it. She was used to Miguel referring to Y/n as sissy when he spoke about her.

With trembling hands and a quivering bottom lip, she turned to Y/n in fear. Afraid Y/n would be mad at her for calling her the name Miguel was probably the only one allowed to use.

Her form slightly trembled as she saw Overhauls disappointed face pass through her mind. The person who made her life a living hell not that long ago.

"This is all your fault..." his voice played over and over in her head like a broken record.

Y/n was startled at seeing Eri's blank face after using Miguel's nickname for her. Her heart cracking as she saw Eri slightly tremble. Understanding right away where her mind wandered off to.

She quickly got on her knees in front of the girl and gave her the biggest grin she could muster, trying to swallow the knot forming on her throat. This is exactly why she tried her hardest to protect Miguel, so he wouldn't experience episodes like this.

Episodes she still went through, and episodes Eri still had as well.

Ruffling her white locks and bringing the smaller girl back to the present. Y/n yelled out like a fighting rink announcer, "Great, then let's make them apples!"

Making Eri giggle and forget about the man who still lived in her nightmares for the moment.

"Is it okay if I call you sissy?" She asked in a small voice after a moment, as they dipped one of the already hard candied apples into a gooey red substance.

Y/n pinched one of Eri's cheek into her fingers and tickled her as she laughed louder. "Of course, silly, we're sisters now, aren't we?" She winked at the smaller girl. "Now come on, we have to put these suckers into the powder to give it that extra umph!"

"Okay!" Eri hurriedly dipped the apple into the powder. "Like that?"

"Yes! That's perfect... and then..." Y/n grabbed the apple from Eri's smaller hand and dipped it again into the gooey substance, giving it back to her. "Dip it on your bowl one more time."

After they were done, they put the apples in the fridge patiently waiting for them to be ready. They made sure to make a lot for them and everyone else. They helped set up the table once Rosalinda yelled that dinner was ready.

They were all soon sitting on the large oak table. Aizawa extremely happy for how well they all interacted.

Hitoshi and Miguel joined them earlier, and he even saw Hitoshi with a rare small smile as he saw how excited Eri, and Miguel were. He even spoke with Y/n all night, it took a little bit of pushing from Y/n, but the purple haired young man eventually caved in.

This was all Aizawa asked for, for them to be able to live in harmony, something they all didn't have before they met each other.

"Dinner was delicious, thank you Rosie." Aizawa praised towards Rosalinda who gushed bashfully.

"Yeah, it was really good. Thanks sis." Hitoshi agreed, as he took another big bite from the mashed potatoes.

"Thank you, Rosie!" Miguel and Eri chanted in unison.

"Eh it was alright..." Y/n laughed at Rosalinda's scrunched up sour face.

Rosalinda sitting next to Y/n, lightly kicked her under the table. "You little-"

"Language!" Y/n put her hand over Rosalinda's mouth. Rosalinda's eyebrows rose wickedly as she licked her sister's hand. "Ahhhh! I have been tainted! Lord whyyyyyyy..."

"Y/n, didn't you and Eri make us something." Aizawa stopped the girl from mid drama rant.

Y/n jolted in her chair remembering the snack.

"That's right! Eri?" Y/n turned towards the smaller girl as they both got up excitedly from their chairs and ran towards the fridge.

Y/n asked Eri and Miguel to sit together as everyone else waited patiently for their apple. The little ones agreed excitedly without any doubt and sat down giddily facing everyone else. She carried the large dish with the apples in the middle and put it in front of the smaller siblings first.

"Little Snow and Little Coco." Hitoshi chuckled lowly at Y/n's nicknames for the smallest siblings.

Said girl gave him a small glare, in return. Making him put his hands up in surrender but continued to snicker quietly.

"Being the Queen and King of this establishment, you shall take the first bite." Y/n declared out loud.

"Sissy, is this?" Miguel asked with stars in his eyes.

"Mhmm, don't say it though. Let them all try it first, okay?" She winked at the smaller boy, who nodded determinedly.

"Go on Eri, Queen's always go first." Miguel encouraged the smaller girl to take the first bit.

"Should I worry about any dentist visits soon?" Aizawa asked seriously to Y/n who only laughed in return.

Y/n didn't want to admit it, but this could be a huge success or an epic failure.

She wasn't sure if Eri even liked spicy foods. She made sure to not make it too spicy, but it still had a kick to it if you weren't used to it. She thanked the heavens when she found Tajin and Chamoy, the main ingredients she needed on the Hispanic produce aisle.

When Eri took a big bite, her eyes widened.

Y/n's heart stopped, internally freaking out, maybe it was too spicy.

Crap, crap, crap!

However, Eri looked over at Y/n with wonder in her big eyes and ran over to give her a hug, making Y/n giggle. Her nerves dissipating at the same time.

"I'm assuming you like it?" Y/n asked the smaller girl.

"Like it? I love it! This is so good, Toshi, Dadzawa you should try it!" Aizawa looked over at Y/n pointedly from hearing the name Eri used. Y/n only smiled and shrugged at him.

"Hitoshi always talks back to me and Rosie too. Now I have to worry about you two ganging up on me? Miguel you're not going to give this old man any trouble, right?" Aizawa's dark eyes glided to Miguel.

"Of course, not Dadzawa!" Miguel replied as he hugged Aizawa's legs. They all laughed at Aizawa's grumpiness. One he could not control.

The night was filled with memories and laughter as they got to know each other and become closer.

The Aizawa family, finally felt complete.
