Eri was awake and really happy!

Why was that?

Well, she discovered that it was her birthday today! She found out from Shouta who was talking about her birth certificate with Hizashi in secret which she eavesdropped on. She was ecstatic! It had been a year since she was saved and a year since the war. She thought everything had settled down, with the cities getting rebuilt everyday, and with U.A continuing with their education, including class 1A finally becoming class 2A.

She’s finally eight years old! She wondered what surprises she must have. She had been seeing Mirio a lot lately and he had a big smile on his face– bigger than usual!

But as her birthday inched closer, no one mentioned anything about a surprise. It made her suspicious and just assumed that they were just being secretive about it.

When her birthday was finally here, she had expected a “happy birthday” from Shouta. But when he came around, he didn’t utter a single mention about it. It made her a bit sad, almost feeling neglected by it. And when she met up with Y/N, all they did was smile at her. They didn’t even say happy birthday? That only made her more upset.

She pouted the whole day, not even smiling once. When Mirio noticed her puckered lips and furrowed brows, he expressed his concerns by asking her what was the matter. “It’s oke…” she mumbled, her lips still puckered and her brows furrowing further. Mirio’s smile disappeared and a guilty frown displayed on his face. “C’mon,” Shouta said. Mirio nodded and walked with Eri and Shouta all the way to class 2A’s dormitory. 

She had thought it was just for a visit, to allow everyone to see her. At this point, she had given up the idea of anyone remembering her birthday. Afterall, no one knew when her birthday was, considering Overhaul never cared about it, only caring about her Quirk.

So when the doors opened and so did her eyes, she was filled with shock and joy when she saw all the cat decorations and the decorated delicious treats on the tables. Everyone from class 2A exclaimed in unison, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERI-CHAN!!” with the biggest smiles on their faces.

Her pout and her furrowed brows dissipated instantly, a huge smile on her face was as bright as the sun. Her eyes gleamed in joy as she looked around with admiration and amazement. “All for me?” She looked up at Shouta. He showed a small uncommon smile and nodded. “It is.” Her smile grew even wider when she realized it was all for her.

Y/N then nudged her forward with their hand. She looked up to see their gentle smile. “Well? Go ahead, have fun.” She nodded with joy and looked back with gleaming eyes.

Mirio instantly picked up her without hesitation, causing Eri to yelp and giggle playfully. He walked over to the class 2A’s students and they all showered her with love and gifts. (Of course, the gifts were placed on a table and will be opened later on).

She was even overjoyed when she saw her favorite treat, candied apples! One was held by Izuku who smiled while giving her it. “Happy Birthday, Eri-chan.”

What Eri doesn’t know…

U.A had discovered Eri’s birth certificate which was found in the Yakuza’s base and its ruins. Shouta isn’t one for celebrating birthdays– he rarely celebrates his own– but decided to plan a small surprise for the little girl with his class. And his class was ecstatic after being given the news of the girl’s upcoming birthday.

They spent weeks after school working on ideas that are best suited for the girl. She recently discovered cats and adored them! And that gave a little idea for her birthday party theme. Yaoyorozu and Hagakure were in charge of finding the theme and setting it up and after discovering her recent admiration, they bought a few cat balloons and had Yaoyorozu make cat themed decorations (mainly because the ones they found online and in store were quite… odd).

As for the food and drinks, Sato and Katsuki were in charge of it. Sato baked the most delicious strawberry shortcake! With Katsuki– with surprisingly good skill– decorating it with little cute cats all around the frosting! Izuku decided it would be a good idea to have her favorite treat on her birthday so he created around two dozen candied apples, each delicious with each bite. (Had to stop Mineta from eating them… who knew he had a sweet tooth?)

Seeing Eri’s smile on her birthday made all of Izuku Midoriya’s sacrifices worth it. :))

At night, Eri was tucked into bed with her cute smile still plastered onto her face. Y/N chuckled at her continued face and sat down on her bed. They moved a strand from her face gently, a soft smile on their face. “Did you have fun?” She nodded eagerly. “I had a ton of fun! There was cake and candy apples! It was very sweet!!” Y/N chuckled softly at her energetic response, watching as her arms flailed with enthusiasm. Y/N gently pushed them down, tucking them into the bedsheets.

“I’m glad, dear.” They smiled. As for a special treat, they started to sing Eri’s favorite lullaby, lulling her to sleep.

For the first time in a long time, she had the best birthday ever! And she still keeps a picture of her special day, with everyone from class 2A, Y/N, Shouta, and Mirio, all gathered together with Eri in the middle, smiling as she stood in front of her cat decorated birthday cake.
