Bittersweet Remembrance
"Thank you, Fumi. I'm sorry for troubling you like this," Izuku was grateful. "I just can't take Eri to a graveyard."
Fumikage reached out reassured his brother. "Do not worry, brother, the little one is fine with me. I have a plethora of enthralling activities planned for us to do."
Izuku relaxed, "Thank you. I must be going, The graveyard closes in a couple of hours. Eri' be good for your uncles. If you're good, I'll give you some candied apples."
Eri beamed at the idea of getting apples. "I'll be good, Papa. Please don't be sad when you come back."
Izuku smiled at his daughter's concern,
"Come give your Papa a hug."
Eri tackled him with a hug. "Bye Papa, be safe."
"Of course." And with that Izuku, left leaving the bird and jellyfish on their own.
Fumikage looked down at his niece and smiled."Come on,o little one, let's have a tea party."
Eri rushed up the stairs. "Come on, Uncle Fumi and Uncle Shadow!"
It was a weird scene if one was to walk in.
A bird-headed boy, a sentient shadow and a little blue Metroid in a black little gothic dress, sitting around drinking tea.
Gothic Musician Aurelio Voltaire was playing in the background.
Eri was on a little throne, Fumikage was chilling in a little pink chair and Dark Shadow was floating.
Eri spoke up from her throne, "Sir Fumi, do you like the tea that I have b-b-browed?" Fumikage chuckled at Eri's attempts to speak formally. "It's brewed my queen, not browed."
Eri smiled before trying again. "Sir Fumi, do you like the tea I have brewed?"
"It is most delectable, my queen." Fumikage answered, happy to be spending time with his niece.
Eri got up from her throne and approached the bird-headed boy, pulling out make-up. "Come on Sir Fumi, it's time for the royal makeover."
Izuku walked through the graveyard searching for his parents graves. When he finally found them, he placed the flowers he was carrying on the graves.
"Hey Mom and Dad, I know it's been a while since I visited. Eri's birthday was yesterday, she turned six." Izuku told his parents somberly. "I even got her a toy replica of the stun gun you made. She loves it."
Izuku sighed before shifting the topic
"The suit is coming along nicely. Mei has been a great help with it. You would have liked Mei, Dad."
Izuku smiled as he remembered the woman he met the day before.
"I met a girl! I had an actual conversation with someone who wasn't Mei, Eri or the Tokoyamis. She was really pretty. She gave me her number."
He began to cry. "I-I r-really miss you g-guys."
He wiped his tears. "But I'll be strong for you. You would want me to continue on."
As he got up, he left a flower on each of their graves.
