"What the hell?!"
Shouto sat up and looked around.
"Why are you yelling?"
"Why the fuck are you here- who are you?! Why are you naked?!"
"Huh?"
He looked down to discover he was indeed naked. When had he changed back? He never even felt it…..
"I can explain!"
"Get out!"
"Izuku! Please listen! You know me!"
"I do not! I would remember someone so damn hot!"
Once the words left his mouth, Izuku turned bright red. Shouto grabbed his sheet and wrapped it around his waist.
"Listen- I…."
Shouto looked at the ground.
"You've been taking care of me for days now. I didn't know I would change back so quickly…. I was stuck as a bat because I had gotten hurt."
Izuku opened his mouth and closed it.
"Izuku … are you OK?"
"You… you're the- there's no way in hell!" he shouted.
"What? I am the little bat you've taking care of and feeding. I wanted to tell you thank you before I left but I thought I would have more time with you…."
Shouto reached out to his human savior but he jumped back.
"My name is Shouto Todoroki and I'm a vampire."
Izuku sat down onto the floor with much more force than necessary. His body seemed so weak like it gave out on him. He put a hand over his mouth.
Why… what- HOW
"Can I borrow some clothes?"
"Do it and leave!"
Shouto's eyes widened in shock. How is it that this boy was so sweet to a tiny bat but not someone who…. Who was a monster? Was he even surprised? Mom had warned him that people weren't all like her. They all wouldn't accept someone like that.
A monster like that.
A monster like him.
"Thank you."
Izuku got up and left the room. His brain was spinning. How in the hell did something like this happen?
"Izuku?" Shouto called out.
"Go away!"
The vampire sighed. He was lucky he was half because it allowed him some immunity to the sun for short periods of time. He picked out a hoodie and sweat pants. Izuku shoe size was too big. He just grabbed socks and was out the window.
Shouto left a hand on the windowsill hoping he would change his mind and come back but he didn't. It almost felt like his heart was broken just a little bit.

Izuku paced his hallway as he chewed on his finger nails. What the hell was going on? What kind of joke was this? Some clichéd movie? A vampire in his house.
HE WAS FEEDING A VAMPIRE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.
AHHHHHH
Izuku sat on the floor. He ran his fingers through his hair and pulled. His poor mind was racing.
How could he be tiny bat? He acted like a bat- how could this be true? How could…. He did….. He did answer when I talked sometimes. I just thought he was attached to me…. It makes some sense.
Oh my god…. He was so hot- I could barely look at him because I was terrified but…. Wow… He sounded so upset. I wonder why?

"Dear!"
Shouto looked up at his mother who landed in front of him. He was sitting under a tree in a field 30 miles away from Izuku's house. He pulled the hood down taking in a deep breath smelling the human teenager. He just felt…. Sad. Companionship wasn't his thing but he wouldn't mind it with Izuku Midoriya.
"Honey, is that you?"
"Yea."
"What's wrong sweetie?"
"Nothing."
Rei smiled and held out a phone.
"I bought this for you. I don't want this to happen again. You're always so careful."
"I got attacked and I had to get out. I lost consciousness and woke up to a boy carrying me."
Rei's smile faded some.
"What happened?"
"I just…. I wanted to stay with him longer."
"You got that attached huh? I'm not surprised. You haven't had a girlfriend or boyfriend in about fifty years."
"That's true."
"Did you tell him already?"
"Tell him what?"
Rei crossed her arms.
"People don't know about vampires. There's a small amount and if someone finds out you told someone and they aren't with you….. You know what your father would do if he found out? Not every person is like me honey. I accepted your father when I found out."
Shouto sighed.
"We are a dying breed dear. You can't find many purebred vampires anymore. You brothers and sister already had enough kids…."
"He said I needed children because your bloodline needed to go on. He wouldn't like it if I hooked up with another guy. He only really liked Momo."
"She was pure bred that's why. You can try going back and just being friends at least? You don't need to like him romantically."
"He's kind Mom. I just think he was more scared. He did wake up to me being in bed beside of him without explanation."
"Well you could go over and talk to him. Ease him in even if you just want to be friends."
Shouto made a face and nodded.
"What if he isn't OK with it? What do we do?"
Rei tapped her lips.
"We'll keep it a secret!"
"Are you sure Mom?"
"Of course."

"Izuku, are you OK?"
He looked up from his dinner plate.
"Yea just a lot on my plate is all."
Inko smiled softly.
"I told you to enjoy your high school days. You don't need to prepare so much."
"I know Mom. I just enjoy it. That's all."
She frowned.
"Why don't you have Denki or Ochako come over? Its been a while since ypou had a sleep over."
"Denki moved away to Europe remember?"
"Oh yes! I forgot about that. Ochako is dating Shinsou? Is that his name?"
"Yea."
Izuku put his fork down and got up.
"I'm going to bed. Love you Mom."
He left the table and went to his room.

Izuku sighed angrily an got up. He rubbed his eyes a few times. He groaned scratching his head when he looked at the window. He saw a figure sitting there. His poor heart pounded furiously.
What the hell-
"Izuku?"
His brain took a minute to register the deep voice. It was Shouto the vampire. Izuku sat there unable to decide what to do. He wanted so badly to open that window and sort out his confusing feelings.
"I just want to talk."
"W-why?"
"I feel like I went about everything the wrong way. I want to apologize."
He gnawed at his lip.
What harm could it cause?
"I'll…. Just crack the window."
"Ok. That's fair."
Izuku got out of bed carefully. He could feel those eyes watching his every move making him feel more nervous than he already was. He swallowed hard as he cracked the window about two inches letting a cool breeze blow through.
"I am sorry. If you have questions I can answer but this stays between us."
"S-sure."
"I wasn't lying though. I am a vampire."
"Can I see your teeth?" Izuku asked nervously almost afraid he sounded stupid.
Shouto only chuckled and opened his mouth to reveal sharp teeth.
"That's kind of cool!"
Shouto cracked a goofy grin, "Thanks."
"Um…. Why were you a bat?"
"Well, I'm half vampire. My mother was changed a month before I was born. My father is a pure bred vampire. This is slightly unfortunate for me in some ways. I'm stronger than humans but a full vampire could kill me and that's why I was a bat. I got into a tussle with a vampire by accident and since I'm of, my body reverted to a form easier to heal."
"Oh…. So you couldn't change back until you were healed? "
"Correct."
"So…. You understood everything I told you?"
"Yes."
How embarrassing!
"Most vampires are bisexual or pansexual. My father is one of those rare straight ones. Vampires don't socialize much unless they have a lover or family. He had a full blooded wife who died that he had four kids with. He met my mother and had me. I guess it didn't take long for him to fall for her since he had been lonely for three hundred years."
"How old are you?"
"Four hundred twenty two."
"W-wow."
Shouto smiled at him through the window.
"I'm pretty young. My siblings are almost a thousand or so."
"Your dad must've loved his ex wife to stay that long with her."
Shouto nodded. The two of them fell silent.
"Hey."
Izuku looked up at him.
"I don't expect much since I lied and held secrets but I want to keep hanging out with you. I don't really keep friends. I've only had one girlfriend and one boyfriend."
"Really?" he asked sounding shocked.
"Hanging out with others isn't my thing. I only really like being around my Mom."
Izuku laughed.
"I'm really sorry though. I didn't mean to intrude. I just couldn't leave until I was better. I did use your phone to text my mother. She ends up buying me a phone after this. She scolded me too."
"Oh that's OK…. I'm sorry you got in trouble."
"Its my fault I didn't get the phone the first time she offered."
He laughed.
"I love the way you laugh."
Izuku turned bright red.
"Thanks."
"Do you have school tomorrow?"
"It's Sunday so no."
"Do you want to go back to bed?" Shouto asked glancing at Izuku's tired eyes.
"Little bit."
"I can let you sleep. I don't do out often unless I'm really tired."
"Alright. Goodnight."
"Night."
Izuku closed the window and snuggled back into bed. Shouto left with a smile on his face.

The next night came and Izuku heard the tapping once more.

Izuku sat up rubbing his eyes. He glanced at the window to see Shouto's eyes shining brightly in the dark. His heart thumped hard at this. It was hard to tell if it was terrifying or if he was just excited.
He saw Shouto tilt his head to the side as he approached the window. Izuku lifted it up a little more this time.
"Hey."
"Sorry for waking you."
Izuku waved him off.
"What's up?"
"I…. Wanted to see you."
Izuku gave him a smile this time but it more nervous than scared. Seeing this made Shouto smile too.
"I wanted to see you too…."
Shouto gave him a big cheesy grin showing off his bare fangs. Izuku snorted and covered his face. The young vampire looked slightly confused.
"You just looked really funny for a second."
Shouto frowned, "Oh."
"Oh! Not in a bad way!" Izuku cried waving his hands, "It was cute!"
Shouto gave him a small smile.
"You kind of looked like a kitty cat smiling."
He chuckled.
"OK, if you say so."
They sat there in silence for a while.
"What did you do today?" Izuku asked.
He had been curious as to what Shouto did all day as a vampire. Did he play games or read? Shouto had already mentioned he didn't sleep much unless he was tired. He was really curious since vampires couldn't go out into the sun.
"I waited around to see you."
Izuku looked stunned.
"You just sat there?"
"Well, I talked to Mom and about random things. I tried figuring out this phone she gave me. I still don't get it though."
"Let me see it."
Shouto handed over his phone. Izuku lifted the window the rest of the way so he could see what he was doing.
"Alright what do you know how to do?"
"I called my mom once. That's all I know how to do."
Izuku blinked.
"You haven't tried anything else."
"No."
"Alright let's start from the top."
The two of them spent a whole hour looking at his phone. It came apparent to Izuku that Shouto was technology impaired and he barely knew how to use a TV remote. Izuku was beginning to wonder if it was an Shouto thing or a vampire thing.
"You OK? You looked frustrated."
"How do you remember all this? My older brother Dabi even loses his patience with me over this."
Izuku laughed, "It's a lot to learn especially if its your first phone."
Shouto smiled slightly, "That makes me feel better somewhat."
"Do you like your default wallpaper? It's just clouds."
"I didn't know how to change it. I figured it stayed like that."
"Are you…. Can you take pictures?"
Shouto smiled, "That's just folklore. We do show up in pictures."
Izuku smiled.
"Let's take a picture then. You may need to keep you fangs hidden though. People do lose their phone once in a while."
"Alright. I'll keep that in mind."
"Get ready!"
Izuku leaned in to Shouto with their cheeks touching. He took the picture with flash and pulled the phone down for them to see the picture.
"I like it."
Izuku smiled and set it as his background.
"So, I can see this every time I look at my phone?"
"Yup."
Shouto smiled, "Can we take a picture on your phone too?"
"Of course. Let me get it."
Izuku got up, headed for desk grabbing his phone and sat back down.
"Ready?"
Izuku snapped their second photo together and set it as his background too.
"Can I ask you something?"
The human boy nodded.
"What made you come around? You seemed so scared?"
"Oh well…. I felt bad. I realized if you had wanted to kill me you would've done it already. I did want to say sorry. I just… you think things are fictional all your life and here you as sitting in front of me. It was a huge shock."
"I suppose I would've reacted the same way. I can't really blame you."
The two of them sat together in silence.
"Are you able to be in sunlight?"
Shouto smiled.
"Since I'm half I can spend time in the sun but it begins to burn after twenty minutes or so. It seems the older I get the longer I can stay out."
"That's pretty cool! What if you were full blooded?"
"Pure vampires can be in complete sunlight. Those like my mom cannot. Dad had explained it a long time ago but it was so long ago."
"Oh."
"Every one is a little different. It's like a mutation."
"That's really cool."
Shouto laughed.
"Well, I suppose I should let you sleep. It's three in the morning."
"Oh OK."
"I can come back next Friday so you can sleep for school."
Disappointment flickered across his face.
"I'll be back then."
Shouto disappeared into the night and Izuku shut his window feeling sad.
And just a little bit lonely.

"You seem so much more pathetic than normal," Dabi said jabbing Shouto's cheek.
"Quit being so mean!"
"Shut up Fuyumi!"
"It's a wonder how we can be triplets!" she screamed, "You're always so mean! Right Toya?!"
"I could care less actually. Shouto could beat his ass any day if he wanted."
"Not with his fucked up wings he can't."
"Get away from me."
Dabi threw up his hands an returned to watching TV.
"Are you OK though Shouto? You're more quiet than usual too. Normally you're talking to Mom."
Shouto glanced back at her. She had her fake glasses on top of her head.
"I'm waiting for the weekend. That's all."
"Ooooh."
Toya stood in front of him.
"Who is it? You like someone! Rei was worried about you and Dad had to calm her down. You were laid up in some love nest weren't you?!"
"He was injured you dimwit," Natsuo said coming down the hallway.
He looked like he just woke up.
"Oh."
Dabi stared at him funny.
"Really? Did you do it again?"
Shouto got up and left the living room with a pissed off look on his face. He went into his room and shut the door. He looked around to see nothing on his walls. Books on his shelves. He his room had been bare forever. He pretty much had no interests. He already learned everything- explored the world.
He had been bored.
His ex Momo was more of scholar. She learned everything there was. She was an inventor. As interesting as she was…. She was boring.
His ex…. Passionate, wild like fire and he lived in the moment. He lived free and without rules but…. He wasn't what he wanted either. He needed someone who wasn't so rampant.
He sighed.
He wasn't expecting too much from Izuku. He was human. His life was limited. It wasn't like he could change the emerald eyed boy into a vampire anyways. He didn't have that ability like most half vampires. Shouto plopped down in front of his window with his hand on the glass.
Next weekend is going to take too long to get here.
