I will post a warning. One: I have two OC's in this story and I know some people don't like that. Two: This has smut/lemon in it. Three: This is dark and slightly bloody/gore. There is suicide things in this story and it's not going to be pretty. It's not the whole story but it's in here. Let the angst begin.

It was a dark anddamp alley. Shouto couldn't see anything as he walked through it. He could hear his heart pounding through his ears and his breathing was shallow. He couldn't see well but he could smell something awful and he knew exactly what it was. It seemed so much like iron and the smell was getting stronger.

He was only in his first year of UA but he had been through enough fights to know it was blood he was smelling. Someone had to be bleeding to death if they weren't already dead. His stomach turned and he wanted to vomit. As he got closer he pulled out his phone for light.

As soon as the bright light hit the ground... It was a bright red. Blood was everywhere. He threw up on the side and wiped his mouth. There was bloody footprints on the ground but it didn't look like a body was being dragged.

Crack!

Shouto jumped, almost wanting to piss himself. His heart was pounding harder now and he really just wanted to leave but something told him to keep going. His body moved forward but he couldn't feel anything like he was numb. The sight before him was sickening.

He rounded the corner and saw blood drops everywhere. It looked like maybe someone was trying to make it out of the alley on their own despite losing a ton of blood... like they were trying to stop the bleeding. Shouto covered his mouth trying to mask the smell. It was so awful and he knew he was going to have nightmares for a long time.

He heard dragging footsteps now. The person was still alive or it was the killer.

How in the hell are they still alive? Who can keep moving like that?

The same iron like smell came back again as he got closer to another corner turn further into the dark alley. The blood on the ground was barely noticeable but the smell warned Shouto there was more. He took a deep breath walked around that corner to see what was his guess two gallons worth of blood on the ground. It was worse than the first place he walked through.

Shouto turned his light upward further. His heart dropped and he almost screamed. Someone was standing there. Their shoes was covered in that red liquid.

His mind screamed at him to run away but he couldn't. Shouto shined the light higher to see the person standing there almost looked like a ghost. It was a pale boy about his age. His body was covered in blood. Shouto couldn't understand where the blood came from because that was the only body he found.

"Who are you? Are you ok?" Shouto asked firmly trying to mask his own fear.

The boy didn't respond. He looked sick and he had bags under his eyes. His eyes were a dull green and he had bed head hair that matched his eye color. The boy had a syringe and a tube covered in blood in his hand.

He was trembling.

"Did you kill someone? Are you a villain?" Shouto asked.

The boy said nothing. He turned and looked at the brick wall then back at Shouto. The look in his eyes... There was no malice, no anger... Just sorrow and regret.

"If you're hurt I can help you. I'm a licensed hero now so I can help you out."

The boy held out a fist and slammed the wall. A sickening crack filled the air then another then another. Shouto winced but once it stopped he looked upward. The boy had climbed the wall leaving more blood everywhere.

Shouto dropped to his knees staring.

'Did he break the wall to climb up with his hand?

Shouto sat up in bed covered in a cold sweat.

I have that same nightmare every year.

He was in his final year at UA. He was already eighteen with a two months left. He was glad to be in the dorms since he didn't have to be around his father. Even though the man was doing his best to make up for the past, Shouto didn't care. In his mind, it was already too late.

I can't wait to get out of that hell hole.

He pulled off his shirt and wiped his face. He threw the shirt in the waste basket then grabbed the knob to his top dresser drawer.

Shouto pulled out a worn out notebook and flipped through it. He had taken down so many notes on that boy. Sometimes he would jolt down stuff from the nightmares he had or whenever he an encounter with him on the street. It was a month after that encounter in the alley when the boy marked himself as a murderous villain named Deku because he was always caught in alleyways covered in blood.

Shouto had a secret talent of drawing and he would draw out the various pictures of Deku. He had run into him over one hundred times since the alley and at least half of it was just because he was walking down the street. Shouto had run across him two weeks ago in regular clothes.

Deku had looked like some skater boy wearing a blonde wig but Shouto knew it was him because of those green eyes. Deku simply gave him a wave and a wink infuriating him but he didn't make move to go after him. The boy had a drink in his hand from a fast food joint and he was strolling minding his own business. It was so odd.

Shouto had come across the conclusion Deku wasn't really a villain like he claimed to be. People believed he had a quirk that caused him to vaporize bodies leaving behind large amounts of blood. Shouto had researched most of the missing cases but none of the missing people were near Deku's normal visiting places. The next strange thing was no one ever saw him like he was a ghost.

If they did see him, no one was talking.

I wonder when we'll see him again. People have speculated he was with the League of Villains or he was the boss of them but he was never seen with them.

Shouto flipped through the notebook but replaced it back in its home and got ready for the day. Maybe it was unhealthy he spent all that time thinking about him but things just didn't add up. He headed for the bathroom where he saw Kirishima and Bakugou brushing their teeth.

"Hey, man!" the redhead said giving him a big toothy smile.

Shouto gave him a nod to knowledge him. He could feel the angry blonde's eyes burrowing into his back.

"Tomorrow we get to go on patrol after class! I love those days!"

Bakugou said nothing as he left the bathroom.

"Don't mind him! He's always grouchy!"

You don't have to tell me.

The school day was uneventful. Shouto laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. He began to wonder if he would see Deku again when he had to do patrol. The school day was shortened for them to leave at two in the afternoon and head out.

It's going to be a long night.

The next day wasn't any better and dragged on horribly slow. Once it was over, Shouto shut himself in his room. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. It didn't matter how much he avoided everyone else, they continued knocking on his door. At some point he just shut off his light and used a flashlight to do his school work.

It was ten before he started to feel the effects of being tired. He was glad to be able to ignore everything for just a little while. He still could hear some of his other classmates in the living area of the dorm. He put his pillow over his head and rolled over for sleep.

Everyone stood on the sidewalk waiting for instructions from Aizawa. It looked like much wasn't going on and people stopped by to take pictures of the soon to be pro heroes.

"Alright, quiet!"

Shouto watched as the man dropped some eye drops in his eyes before continuing to speak.

"I will give everyone a street they must patrol but no one is to run in the alleyways. If help is being called for one, get assistance. Everyone should already know what to do since you've been doing it for months."

He rattled off their streets and everyone broke off. Shouto felt like he was being watched but he couldn't figure out from where but it could be regular people just watching them walking around. He tried his best to ignore the feeling.

Someone is watching me. I can feel it.

An hour passed by without incident. The feeling was still there and all he could think of is getting home.

I need to get home. I have this weird feeling like something is going to happen...

Shouto sighed and looked upward at the sky. It was starting to streak in pink, orange and purple. A small smile appeared on his face but it disappeared as quickly as it came. Now he knew why he had that weird feeling someone was watching.

Deku was sitting on the ledge with his feet hanging off the side of the building eating an apple. A weird smile appeared on his face and he winked at Shouto before blowing a kiss. Shouto glared at him before taking a step forward but he was stopped by a sudden boom. Shouto turned around to see smoke rising in the air behind him.

"What the hell?"

He looked back up to see Deku staring at the smoke with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Its the League of Villains!" someone screamed.

'So... I was right. He's not with them."

Deku got up and disappeared on the roof.

Oh you're not getting away this time.

Shouto took off running into the alleyway.

AmbertheCat: If you're on this story now, welcome back! I was so shocked by the very long review and I squealed with delight! (from Summer) Honestly, if I was anything like Izuku and to come home to Shouto with all his stuff moved in, I would've cried lol I'm so sappy. I actually write on my gmail account and send it to myself to copy and paste. Also I when I'm working I think about what to write, how I want it to go and if it sounds right like something they would say. I daydream A LOT. I'm sorry that things are rough and I hope things get better! I've got some dark humor because life does suck but I make it through the day and that itself is a victory! Just think like that! I sure hope you enjoy this story too!
