The next weekend came finally. Izuku sat by his window, practically bouncing in his seat. Him and Shouto had been texting all week and now he would get to see him finally.
I'm so excited! I wouldn't mind him staying the night again.
Izuku waited around for a short while when he started to get concerned. Shouto said he would be there by ten PM but he hadn't messaged him. It was very unlike him since he was so punctual. Izuku gnawed on his lip.
I should call him.
His finger tapped the power button when a sudden feeling of dread washed over him.
What if… what if another vampire attacked him? What if he's a little bat again and no one is there to save him?!
He jumped out of his seat and slipped on his shoes. Izuku grabbed his jacket and was out of his bedroom. His mom wasn't home yet for at least another hour. He scribbled out a quick note for her and he was out of the building.
Izuku called him three times but he never answered. Panic was rising in him quickly. He even looked through his phone but Shouto must've deleted his mother's number a while back. He groaned in frustration.
I just need a phone call or text message from him- that's it! Shit-
Ding!
Izuku stopped and looked down at his phone. There was a message from his vampire friend.
Shouto: I'm sorry I worried you. I ran into some problems. Are you still out? You shouldn't be out so late.Izuku: Did you get hurt?!Shouto: A few scratches here and there but it's all healed already.Izuku: Meet me so I know you're ok!
Shouto: Alright. Meet me at the park again. See you soon.
Izuku shoved his phone into his pocket and started running for the park. He could make it there in fifteen minutes by foot running like he was. He didn't really exercise much so it was killing his legs a lot faster than he had originally thought.
He felt the burn quite quickly but kept pushing through it. The gates to the park started to come into view. Sweat started to roll down his face making his hair wet. He saw Shouto standing there waiting for him, making him feel even more motivated to reach the park faster.
But something didn't seem right…..
Izuku was only twenty feet away from him when he stopped. His usually gorgeous two toned hair was messed up, his shirt ripped down the front and his pants had rips in it. Shouto was one to take care of himself and look nice. It hurt him to see the young vampire like that.
"Shouto-
He didn't say anything. He avoided his green eyes like he was ashamed.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea," he answered softly.
Izuku inched closer to him to see dried blood on his face.
"Who was it?"
"No one you would probably know. It was nothing really. He was just angry. Some like to attack when they're mad."
Izuku blinked.
"That doesn't make it ok though!"
Shouto stayed quiet.
"Are you going to be fine?"
"I should be. Let me get you home."
The walk back to Izuku's apartment felt it took eternity for them both. It was the first time he felt any distance from the young vampire. He seemed like he was plagued by what had happened but didn't want Izuku to know anything. He had told him various vampire like things and now…
"Are you mad at me?"
He stopped in front of him. For a moment, Izuku thought he would start yelling but he didn't. He was glad he didn't.
"I can't be mad at you. I'm worried about you because he might come back."
The color drained from his face.
"He…. He's after me?"
Shouto scratched his head.
"He wasn't thrilled to know I was…. About you…. Talking to you."
Ummmm….
"He knows…. Knows about me? What do you mean?"
Shouto's pale face turned pink and he smiled just a little bit.
"He was just mad."
They walked the rest of the way there in silence. Shouto hugged him once they made it to the apartment building doors. The two of them pulled apart just a bit when Shouto pressed his lips against his.
The act surprised Izuku just a little bit. Then as Shouto pulled away, it clicked in his head.
This young, striking vampire liked him.
"I'll come see you tomorrow…. I promise."
Izuku nodded quietly. The two toned vampire placed his head against his.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea…. I'm just enjoying your smell before I have to go."
Izuku smiled as they stood there a little longer- wordless and content.

It seemed like the next night couldn't come fast enough. Shouto paced around his home looking for something to do but he just couldn't stay still. Luckily his siblings were all out and his father was too. His mother just watched him with curiosity.
"You miss this boy?"
He looked up at her.
"I do."
Rei smiled.
"You should bring him by next weekend."
"I can't…. Father would be upset."
"He plans on being out and I can silence the others. It's no problem."
This idea didn't appeal to him. There was too much that could go wrong. He started picking at his finger nails.
"Son…. It really isn't that big of a deal."
"I don't know Mother…."
Rei reached out and grabbed Shouto's arm. She ran her thumb over his arm trying to soothe his anxious mood.
"I want to meet the boy of your dreams."
His pale face turned pink.
"What?"
"I watched you with Momo and Katsuki. Neither one of them struck up this kind of reaction with you."
She pulled him into a hug.
"I remember how your Father looked at me the first time he saw me. He had stars in his eyes. The excitement he had on his face. I see it all on yours. Don't waste your time pretending."
Shouto looked away.
"Mothers know my dear son. Because we experienced love first hand."
Shouto sighed.
"What's troubling you?"
"Mom…. He's not…. Going to live forever."
She placed her head on his head and stroked his hair.
…...He wasn't wrong.

It was around nine at night when Izuku went downstairs to wait on his vampire friend. Things seemed to going well between them until last night. He felt…..like he was being watched.
Since last night.
The feeling was still there. It hadn't subsided once. Even his mother had closed the curtains and she would occasionally look outside. They were floors up…. Who could be watching them?
What if that boy is watching me?
The thought made his heart drop. Did he really pissed this person off enough he would just be watching them?
Should I be standing outside? What if he comes out of nowhere?
"Are you ok?"
Izuku jumped. He snapped out of his trace and thoughts to see Shouto standing there. He was dressed in a blue button up and black pants. He looked so much older than he was.
Izuku smiled.
"I'm fine now that you're here."
Shouto grinned as he reached out for his hand.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Wanna get some ice cream? I've been in the mood for some all day!" Izuku asked with an excited smile on his face.
"Sure, what kind are you going to get?"
"Hm…. Maybe some strawberry dipped in chocolate?"
"Sounds good."

"As cute and small as you are, you can really eat."
Izuku blushed and hid his face.
"I had gotten out of work and didn't eat. I normally have a break but we were too busy today."
"I didn't mean to embarrass you. I've seen my mother eat six plates of food like her life depended on it. I guess I don't get it because I don't actually eat."
"Have you tried?"
Shouto shrugged.
"Not that I can remember but I was a child for a long time so I might have."
Izuku looked thoughtful for a minute.
"That's so interesting. I kind thought maybe you'd have way baby food or something."
Shouto smiled.
"I can ask."
The two of them talked for a while. Once they left, they walked around for a short time when that overwhelming feeling hit Izuku once again. He started looking around nervously when he heard Shouto hiss lowly.
"Shouto-
A blast of wind hit them in the face and Izuku was lifted off the ground.
"AHHHHH!"
Izuku struggled against whoever was holding onto him. He kicked and his heel connected with someone's knee.
"Fuck!"
Izuku flinched at the deep voice. He wiggled around to see the same blonde boy he had run into the other night. He opened his mouth in shock unable to say anything.
Those red eyes were piercing and angry.
"I'm so surprised you decided to play with something like…. This. You know these things don't live that long."
"Things?" Izuku sputtered out, apalled.
"Put him down Katsuki!"
Izuku looked down to see they were actually really high up. All the courage he had disappeared like it hadn't existed. He had all the confidence in the world when Shouto was holding him but….
Being in the hands of an angry blonde vampire wasn't very safe.
Sniff, sniff.
Izuku looked shocked to see Katsuki sniffing him like he was something to eat.
HE WAS SOMETHING TO THEM.
Oh dear god-
"If you hurt him, you will be sorry!" Shouto threatened.
"What are you going to do about it?" he yelled down at the half vampire, "You think I give a shit? It's been fifty years and you think that's enough time already?!"
"Fifty years is a long time!" Izuku said snapping at the blonde.
But he only laughed in his face.
"You certainly smell like him all over. You two don't even hang put that much."
The color drained from his face.
He was watching me. He was watching us the whole time. That's so creepy!
"Put me down!" he cried struggling against him.
"Oh? Fine then."
Izuku screamed as Katsuki threw him into the air higher with extreme force. He felt his poor heart slam against his chest. He heard Shouto scream his name and something else but his brain couldn't process it with him thinking he was going to die. Izuku felt like he was going to pass out in mid air.
He felt a whoosh of air by him and someone grabbed his wrist but it wasn't his vampire friend. Katsuki was mocking and teasing his ex. This wasn't how this night was supposed to go…. They should've just stayed in his room away from the world- away from danger.
"GIVE HIM BACK! HE'S MINE!"
Izuku opened his eyes to see a pair of shining red orbs staring his way. For a moment he felt bloodlust in the air but it wasn't directed towards him. Katsuki's asshole, teasing demeanor changed and he became serious. Something changed about the blonde vampire.
"You're pretty serious. You hate to fly and here you are. All over him."
Katsuki gave Izuku a quick shake.
"You- you dick put me down!"
Katsuki snorted.
"Something so weak shouldn't talk so big."
"Something so stupid shouldn't talk at all!"
"Oh yea?"
Shouto was only a few feet away when Katsuki shot upward. Izuku screamed again clinging to Katsuki's arm for dear life.
"Damnit!" Shouto shouted.
His heart made a weird pound. He placed a hand on his face. The world started to spin around him.
No…. Not now.
Shouto regained his composure and headed for Katsuki and Izuku once again. The cool air was starting to make him nauseous. He didn't feel so good.
"Shouto!"
His vision came back and he saw Izuku being thrown back in the air. He made his way back over to Katsuki for his ex to catch the human and take off again. He grabbed his head trying to curb the hunger that was hitting him at full force.
"What did you do to him?!" Izuku yelled as he swung at Katsuki.
The vampire dodged and rolled his eyes.
"He's hungry."
Izuku stared at him.
"What? What do you mean-
"His habits haven't changed I see. You haven't been feeding him?"
He shook his head.
"N-not since he was a bat."
"His make up is different. He can't maintain that form without feeding."
"Shouto!"
"Give him back!"
"I'm bored with this."
Katsuki threw Izuku at Shouto. It all happened in a few seconds. Instead of catching Izuku, he slammed into him. The force was too much for him and they started falling. Izuku held onto Shouto as tight as he could.
He looked upward but Katsuki had already disappeared.
Shit! SHIT!
Izuku looked downward to see they were going to fall through trees. He took a deep breath with his heart racing and adrenaline pumping in his body at an alarming rate. Izuku yelled as he reached out and grabbed for a thick tree branch. He caught it by some miracle but he pulled his arm out of the socket. He never let go of Shouto as they fell onto the ground into some bushes.
Tears filled Izuku's eyes from fright and pain as he pulled him into the bushes a little better with one hand. Shouto's fangs were growing over his bottom lip. Izuku pulled him up against the tree and sat in his lap. Izuku studied the young vampire's face. He looked paler and more dead like.
Here goes nothing.
Izuku pressed his bare, exposed neck against Shouto's fangs. He felt Shouto's tongue flicker against his warm skin making him shiver. He winced as fangs dug into his skin. Shouto's arms wrapped around his shoulder and the other went up his shirt caressing his back.
"Ooo…. Shouto careful."
Shouto moaned into his neck, sinking his teeth on further. Izuku twitched, feeling like he wanted to slap Shouto like he was mosquito. Shouto's grip on his fragile human body tightened. In the movies it seemed like the blood sucking process was quick and pleasurable.
It was actually really slow and awkward. Painful but it had dulled off some.
Some time had passed and Izuku felt the fangs withdraw from his neck. He let out a low relieved sigh and started feeling around for Shouto's pocket.
Shit… I forgot Katsuki broke his phone…. I was hoping his mom might've bought him another one-
Izuku found a phone. He sighed with a smile and locked it. The phone was smaller but brighter. It had his picture as the background making Izuku smile. He had no idea how someone so perfect would want someone like him.
I gotta call his mom. I can't lift him myself.
He found her number. He tapped her contact and waited while it rang.
"Hello Shouto!"
"Mrs. Todoroki? It's actually Izuku."0
Silence.
"Can…" he trailed off.
"Are you ok Izuku? Did something happen to you two?"
"Katsuki showed up showed up again."
"Again? Wait is that why his phone was broke?"
"Y-yea. I don't know where we are….. Shouto was forced to use his wings and now he's out of it."
"Oh no…. He needs to feed."
"I um…. Fed him already."
"Oh."
The woman sounded surprised.
"Can you find us? I don't know…. It's dark."
"Give me ten minutes Izuku. Protect Shouto the best you can. I highly doubt anyone will bother you. See you soon."
Izuku stayed huddled against his friend's surprisingly warm body. It almost seemed like the sleeping vampire was breathing. It was odd and quite interesting honestly. For some reason, it made him feel sleepy and his eyes started to droop.
He must've dozed off because he heard rustling near them. He suddenly felt tense and scared. Izuku didn't know if he could fight with his arm out of the socket and he was so much weaker than Shouto. He squeezed his eyes tight hoping whatever it was would pass them.
"Izuku?" said a soft female voice.
"Mrs. Todoroki?"
Her head popped through the bushes making him jump. Her eyes were a steely gray but they looked comforting.
"What happened to your arm?"
"I pulled it when we came crashing down."
She hummed for a second.
"I can fix it."
"Ok."
Rei helped him up to his feet. It was then when he started to feel weaker than normal.
"You ready?"
He nodded. With one swift motion she popped his arm back and he yelped before grinding his teeth.
"You're a tough puppy aren't you?" she said with a smile, "My name is Rei. No need to be so formal to your Mother in Law."
Izuku's freckled face turned scarlet.
"It's ok. It is a joke, he hasn't said anything quite like that."
"O-ok."
Rei picked her son and held out her hand to Izuku.
"Let's get you home."
Giant black and white wings emerged from her back. She was a lot better flyer than Katsuki or Shouto. She landed in the alley nearest to his apartment and they walked out together. She had Shouto wrapped up so his wings weren't showing since they hadn't receded yet.
"I hope I can meet you officially soon. I'm sure Shouto will be very upset this happened."
Izuku nodded and smiled. Rei reached and touched his cheek.
"You are indeed special. I will see you later."
The vampire disappeared into the night and Izuku walked into his apartment building.
What a night.
He sighed, exhausted and headed to the elevator.
