Author's Note/Disclaimer: For some reason, I get triggered when I call Katsuki well Katsuki. Nine out of ten I'm calling him Bakugou. It just sounds better. I think the fandom agrees too. I think its because it was more vowels.
Note: Izuku is 16. Supposedly this story takes place after season four.
Things get a bit freaky!
Chapter 2
Its morning and class will be starting in an hour.
"Has anyone seen Izuku?" said Uraraka.
"That's strange. That's so unlike Midoriya." Iida replied.
Shoto overhears this conversation and shrugs in shoulders as he enjoys his breakfast in the cafeteria.
'I hope he's alright.' Shoto thought.
"Ooh. He actually let him stay the night." Aoyama gushed.
"What?" said both Uraraka and Iida.
"Nothing." Aoyama replied innocently avoiding all eye contact.
Katsuki overhears this and shakes his head.
'Well, someone has to wake him. Can't count on the extras to do anything.'

"Oi. Nerd! Wake the F up! You're gonna be late." Bakugou yelled banging on Izuku's dorm's door.
However, Izuku is lying in bed sleeping like a baby.
'That's it.'
Bakugou takes a couple of steps back and proceeds to kick in Izuku's door.'
"AH! Don't touch me there."
Silence.
Bakugou just stares at Izuku wondering what kind of dreams he's having.
"Huh? Oh."-he rubs his eyes-"Hi, Kacchan."
Bakugou approaches Deku's bed and sits on it. He grabs Izuku closer to him and looks him straight in the eye.
"You good?" Bakugou asked sincerely, shaking him aggressively.
"Wah. Yeah?"
"Good," Bakugou said as he flips Izuku on the floor on his back. He gets up and before he leaves and stops.
"Don't be late." he said as he exits Izuku's room slamming the door behind him.
"Ow." Izuku chuckled.
Kage rolls out of the bed next to him.
"Who was that?"
"That's a Kacchan. He's my fr-"
'Is Kacchan really my friend?'
"Someone who picks on me but cares for my well-being. Well, sort of?"
"Humans are weird."
"I know."
'I don't like him.' Kage thought while balling his fist.

"Um...Mr. Aizawa?"
"Mm?"
"What would happen hypothetically to someone who broke into the dorms?"
"I will kill them."
"..."
"Haha. That was a good joke Mr. Aizawa!" Izuku stuttered.
"Who said I was joking?"
"..."
"So um let's say some strange man was found underneath a student's bed and later on they slept in the student's bed. What would happen?"
"I would kill them."
"..."
"Hypothetically let's say that person was me. What would happen?"
Aizawa looked at Izuku funny.
E
"Then, I have more reasons to kill them. The school would then have two problems and Nezu would get mad at me."
"Okay, but let's say I was harboring a criminal in the dorms, what would happen?"
"I would probably kill you both."
"Haha. Thank You Mr. Aizawa." Izuku stuttered.
Aizawa puts on his serious face.
"Problem Child. If something is going on you can tell me okay?" He gently punched his arm.
"O-okay." Izuku lied.
'He can't lie to save his life. But if it's something serious Izuku would probably tell me.' Aizawa thought as he opened up another box of juice.
Timeskip
A couple of days have passed by. Izuku managed to stop by his dorm in between classes to give Kage some food. Overtime, Kage, and Izuku became close enough to share secrets. Well, Izuku's secrets at least.
"So you're the ninth user of One For All?"
Izuku nods his head.
"And you ate this 'All Might's fellow'...the guy all around your room...hair?"
Izuku rubs the nape of his neck remembering it's kind of gross.
"Man. It's just nice to get this off my chest." Izuku said.
"Zuzu, you're kind of dumb telling some of dude that broke into your school this" Kage chuckled.
"Yeah, but something about you tells me I can trust you."
"Maybe it's my aura? I think your aura is what drew me here in the first place. Maybe I was drawn in by One For All or something."
"Maybe."
Meanwhile somewhere in the dormitory
"Have y'all noticed Izuku been going to his dorm a lot lately? Not to mention he's been taking a lot of food?" Uraraka asked.
"Maybe he's hiding a girl in his room" Mineta reasoned.
"Eh? No." Uraraka rebuked.
'Not that I would be jealous or anything' Uraraka thought to herself.
"I don't know. But I felt like Izuku has been less stressed out lately. Which is good considering all the crazy stuff that has happened to him this year." Iida added.
"Let's eavesdrop on him," Jirou suggested.
"W-Wah?" Uraraka blushed.
"No. That's wrong to pry into the private matters of our classmates unasked."
"Says the same guy who broke the rules to Bakugou.
That shut Iida up.
Timeskip
"Well? Do you hear anything?" Uraraka asked.
Jirou sticks earphones in the wall.
"Odd. I don't hear anything?"
"Maybe he's asleep?" Mineta suggested.
"Wait, hold on…"
Kage was high alert and it spooked Izuku. Kage brought his hands to his lips and cautioned Izuku the door. Izuku nodded to indicate he gasped the situation. Kage hides underneath Izuku's bed as Izuku heads to the door.
"Hi, guys!" Izuku exclaimed with an innocent smile.
Everyone jumped.
"Oh, um, Hi Izuku," Uraraka replied nervously.
Jirou quickly takes her earphone hacks out.
"So what are you guys doing?" Izuku said opening the door wider.
"Nothing. We were just walking by." Uraraka said, pushing everyone down the hallway.
"Bye!"
Izuku shrugs and heads back inside the room. He exhales and slid down the door.
"Phew! That was close."
Kage rolled out from under the bed and he said, "I guess you've been acting too suspicious lately."
He smiled.
"It's nice to know you have so many people that care for you. Your mom. All Might. Aizawa."
"Bakugou," he said in anger gripping tighter on his knife behind his back.
"The rest of your classmates," Kage said gleefully
"Hey! Kacchan isn't really a bad guy."
At the same time
"Achoo!" Bakugou sneezed.
"Man, maybe someone's talking about you?" Kirishima suggested.
"Stupid extras," Bakugou said as he rubbed his nose.
Back to Izuku's room
"I kind of want to meet your family and friends," Kage sobbed.
"Mmm. Maybe one day. Okay?" Izuku promised.
"Okay."
Time Skip
Aizawa is looking at the news in the Hero Network app on his laptop.
"Reports of a terrifying tall pale figure resembling a man and missing young teens." He sips on his coffee. That's not good. Aizawa paused and wondered.
'Are our dorms really safe?'
'Eh. I'm here so I guess the kids are fine.' he thought before spinning around in his chair to look at his lesson plans scattered across his room.
Time Skip
Izuku brought some breakfast for Kage.
"Yes! Finally some food!"
"Wait, we need to talk."
Kage groans.
"My room. My rules."
"Well if the master requests it."
"I just want to know more about you."
"Ask away."
Izuku makes his way to his bed and food on his plate. Kage begins to dig in.
"Um, this might come off as rude but how old are you?"
"I think I'm like 19." Kage grumbled stuffing more food into his mouth.
"Eh? You're that much older than me."
'That might explain why he's childish at times.' Izuku reasoned.
"Who's after you?" Izuku pressed.
Kage almost choked on his food. He cleared his throat.
"But you would probably be in danger just knowing."
"I'm a hero. I'm already in danger."
"If you say so."
'Like I would let anything happen to Izuku anyways' Kage asserted.
"Some crazy doctor or something. I don't know his real name."
"Why is he after you?"
"I don't know. Maybe he experimented on me? Maybe I'm his prized possession!" Kage half-lied.
"You're not a criminal or something?"
Kage is quiet.
"Right?"
Kage begins to whistle.
"Of course." Izuku grunted.
Izuku cringed.
"I haven't killed anyone. If that's what you're wondering."
'That's a relief.'
"Probably."
'I'm going to jail aren't I?' Izuku thought.
"Well what do you do for fun?"
"Fun?"
"Like for me I like watching All Might videos. My classmates do stuff like baking, card games, playing video games, playing instruments or even just eating!"
"Does watching you sleep count?"
"No."
"Well let's try some basic games. Let's play Rock-Paper-Scissors!"
Izuku and Kage spent the rest of the day playing rock-paper-scissors, tic-tac-toe, iSpy. They even watched some All Might videos together. Kage didn't really get the point but since Izuku likes it he likes it too. They watched scary movies together which Kage enjoyed since Izuku kept leaning into him.
Izuku ended up gossiping about school drama, people hating on 1A because Kacchan, his feelings for Uraraka, how Kacchan got kidnapped and he got saved.
His dreams.
"I wanna become the number one hero!"
"No you aren't!"
"Hey!"
His fears. His fantasties. His guilty pleasures and some other embarrassing stuff about him.
His dad.
"Ooh. That's rough buddy." Kage replied as he brushed Izuku's hair.
Izuku just shakes his head at him as he plays with some cards.
One day, Izuku came back to his dorm. And he had a really really bad day. Kage immediately knew something was wrong.
They laughed. They fought. They cried. But somehow they always made up in the end.
Kage became his closest confidant.
