"You know for someone who's being stalked you seem perfectly fine with it- in fact you look like you're enjoying this, may I ask why?"

Izuku was laying in bed reading some kind of book that had a questionable cover in it, it looked like something that you wouldn't want to read due to how gory and how detailed it will be

"It's exciting I guess"

"I can send someone to kill you right now"

"They can try"

"What"

"Never mind, it's just exciting I guess..."

"What are you reading right now"

"Hm... do you want to hear it instead?"

"Sure"

"He chuckled deeply as he cut through the tender flesh of the girl, the girl screeching begging and begging for the pain to stop- but it would not stop, the cuts weren't so deep only enough to make her bleed, she whimpered as she felt another cut- this time on her side and it was deep, she cried out in agony and wailed as he she felt the man force his hand inside of her, grabbing unto something before pulling it out- the shock finally made her faint and she bled away, her guts being pulled out- she didn't deserve to die like this she only wanted to return home and eat warm soup with her mother how did it end up like this-"

"Y-You can stop now" Shoto said, uncertainty lacing his voice

"Are you sure? That's one of the first scenes in the book there's a better-"

"No I think I-I'll be fine"

"..whatever you say then, it might sound scary but its interesting when you think about it- I mean most people have motive for murder, some just do it for fun- for no reason at all other than the fact that they want to, isn't it weird feeling that way when you're actively killing people- people with families- with pets, with friends with many other who'd cry at their funeral and feeling nothing but fun out it? People talk about life like it's the most precious thing but hearing about this way of being killed, isn't it amazing how years and years of life can just be ended in such a way- oh god I'm rambling aren't I? I'm sorry I didn't mean to I just get really really excited talking about things that excite me-"

"No it's fine, that's just.. a very weird thing to feel excited about...? I hope I'm not offending you or anything"

"No it's fine Kacchan said the same thing when he first heard me rambling about it! He looked like I was planning to murder him or something"

"I don't blame him for thinking like that" Shoto muttered

"Can you make your voice a little louder? I couldn't hear what you said"

"No it's fine I didn't say anything"

————

"Hey Shoto?" How weird, he didn't call him Shoucchan this time

"Hmm?"

"Can you not follow me tonight?"

"Why? Are you leaving again?"

"Kacchan isn't going to come back until tomorrow, this is the only time I can do this kinda thing and I kinda want a bit of privacy in it.. if you don't mind" Shoto raised his brow on that, Izuku sounded shy, what was he planning to do?

"Can you tell me what you're doing?"

"No"

"I guess I can leave you alone, but only for tonight" then he heard a warm laugh from the phone, why was he so happy?

"Thank you so much Shoucchan, I'll hang up the phone now, bye!" Shoto took note of how enthusiastic Izuku sounded right now, what was he planning to do?

"Good bye"

The call ended and Shoto stared at his phone, unsure whether or not to call someone to follow Izuku or not, he wanted to respect the mans privacy for once but at the same time, he's curious, he took out the files about Izuku and started flipping through the pages to see if they can give him an answer

There was nothing here that can help him- none of this even mentioned Izuku's weird love for gory stories or disappearing at night

He suddenly didn't know if he wanted to meet Izuku in real life anymore, if Izuku is doing what he think he is doing right now then he isn't sure whether or not to regret ever replying to his first text message from him, he doesn't go that far he only stalks people- still it was kind of comforting that he isn't the only one with weird hobbies even if Izuku's were much more extreme

He felt a shiver up his spine and he smiled, he hadn't felt this way in a long time, this is definitely fun

He put the files away and his phone, Shoto will leave Izuku alone for now and then call him again tomorrow asking about what he did today, he failed hide his growing grin and his excitement for tomorrow as he walked past his father

"Shoto? Why are you so happy today?" Shoto grinned and hugged his father tight, the older man confused at the sudden affection from his son, he looked down and saw Shoto's large smile

"Nothing father, good luck for tomorrow I love you!" He said before releasing his father and walking away happily

Enji stared at his son as Shoto walked away

What the heck just happened
