Izuku went to work for the next two days with his mind weighing heavy on the decision that would change his life forever. His Mom had come around and asked him questions whenever he was home and he was happy to answer the best to his abilities. He had been texting Katsuki constantly trying to get new information. He wanted to be informed as much as possible.
He had been waiting for Katsuki to tell him to fuck off but he never did.
He finally clocked out on third night after deciding in his head what he wanted. Izuku waved by to his older coworkers and he was on his way outside. It was unusually cold outside and he had no jacket. He looked at the sky seeing the clouds thinking it was too early to snow but sometimes it would happen during the fall. He stretched his arms out feeling his back crack.
"Hey nerd."
Izuku jumped and whipped around to see the blonde vampire standing there.
"You were waiting for me?" he asked rather surprised.
Katsuki blushed slightly and looked away, "I have nothing else to do."
"O-oh..."
"You've been my ass lately and it feels weird when you aren't talking to me."
"Oh, I didn't realize I was bothering you-
"That's the weird part though, you aren't."
"I'm sorry?"
"Let's walk."
"Alright."
The two of them walked down the street, under the orange light of the street lamps. The wind made it colder making Izuku shiver but maybe he was just nervous. He wasn't sure how to feel about Katsuki's sudden confession... He didn't need two vampires fighting over him. His heart was pounding wildly and he wondered if the young vampire heard it.
"I wonder why you of all people are ok with us. It doesn't make much sense," he finally said.
"What do you mean?" Izuku asked slightly baffled.
"Humans are driven to be afraid of those that prey on them. There are some that prey on others or man looking for a woman..."
"Well I was pretty afraid of Shouto when he woke up naked beside of me."
Katsuki snorted, "Not the same thing."
"What would this have to do with me and you?"
"I think the lady your mom mentioned the other night... She might've had some factor in your blood line. You could've ran when I went after you that night. You could've left Shouto behind but you didn't. You stayed there with him. I saw the whole thing."
Izuku stared at him.
"Shouto's old man is a dumbass. Once in a while, there's someone special that comes along and is made for you. I don't see what the big deal is considering Rei was that for him. Dabi goes after human women. We all started off with humans and we will always depend on them. To be born full blooded vampire means that's all you can be. Someone who changes or is born half, that makes it a special case... you can revert back and forth as many times as you want."
"You can?"
"Yea."
"Why are you telling me this?" Izuku asked.
That's so weird. Is he trying to say I have a way out later if I change my mind?
"Shouto had talked about it before. He had wanted to change back to a human and have me change him but I wouldn't do it without his parents' permission."
"But why?"
"He wanted to be less of his dad. I don't blame him really."
"So... I should ask him before I make a decision?"
Katsuki shrugged.
"Have you talked to him any?"
"No... I was afraid his dad had his phone and might try luring me out..."
"Enji isn't that smart."
Izuku pulled out his phone and looked down at it.
"Maybe you should let him know. Shouto's smart but he's stubborn too. He'll do stupid things."
Izuku didn't say anything.
"I'll see you later."
Katsuki started walking away.
"Wait!"
The vampire turned around.
"Yea?"
"I feel like I don't know him... when you talk about him."
Katsuki snorted, "You learn a lot about someone after fifty years. No reason to be worried. I'm not after him or you."
Izuku didn't say anything.
"Shouto got lucky. I suppose if I would've ran into you and you showed that much spunk I would've fallen for you too. If he messes or you do, I'd still want you."
Katsuki disappeared into the night. Izuku dialed Shouto's number, waiting for it to ring.
"Izuku?!"
"Yea."
"Are you ok?"
Shouto sounded so worried.
"I'm fine... I miss you so much."
Izuku's eyes watered up.
"Really? You do?"
"I do... I was just so upset... I didn't know what to say to you. I was afraid you would think your dad was right and I shouldn't be there."
"He's just stupid! I would never leave you."
"We need to make a choice."
Silence.
"Meet me in two days. At the park."
"Where we would always see each other?"
"Y-yea."
"Are you ok?"
"I am. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Bye... Shouto."
"Bye."
Izuku hung up. He looked up to the stars before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
I gotta talk to Mom.
He ran home without taking a break. He hoped she was home.

"MOM!" Shouto yelled running out of his room, "MOM!"
He looked around to only see Dabi sitting on the couch playing on his phone.
"What the hell are you yelling about?"
"Is Dad here?" he asked.
"Naw, Mom let him have it this morning."
"What happened this morning?" Shouto asked looking confused.
"She threw his ass through the woods. He made a comment about how he didn't want a human child. That kind of thing made her mad."
Shouto stared at him.
"Dad didn't mean it in the way it was said," Dabi said placing his phone down, "He's scared."
"Scared of what?" Shouto said rolling his eyes.
"Humans are fragile and so are you. He's scared because you are the only connection between him and Mom. You can't have kids right?"
Shouto stared at him.
"What- what do you mean?"
"Mom told me she had hard time having kids herself and you were a miracle to her," Dabi said, "Something in your genetics was the problem. He feels like he let her down since she won't actually ever have her own flesh and blood grandchildren... So he feels the need to make sure you don't make dumbass mistakes. He sees Izuku Midoriya as a dumbass mistake."
"Do you see him that way?" Shouto asked.
Dabi hummed for a moment.
"I don't see Izuku Midoriya as a bad choice. The fact you would change to a human for him makes you stupid."
"Oh."
"I can see why you would blindly do it though."
Dabi patted the spot on the couch beside of him.
"Sit down little brother."
Shouto sat down beside of him.
"Mom really loves Izuku because he reminds her of herself. She is so attached to him and he's all she talks about. It's getting on my damn nerves."
He smiled.
"I really love Mom."
"Same. She doesn't hold up the same angry farcade as Mom did. She allows herself to swept up in the moment. She feel to be who she wants. I want a woman like that."
Shouto smiled, "Awww that's the nicest thing you ever said. I probably have to wait another hundred years."
"If Izuku knows someone, maybe he can hook you up."
"I doubt that."
"You never know."
Dabi just grunted as an answer.
"I get to see him in two days."
"Two days huh? Are you sneaking out?"
"Yes."
"That's such a child like thing to do."
"Yea and you do it every chance you get when Dad is mad at you."
Dabi grinned.
"Make sure you don't get caught dumbass."

"Are you really sure?" Inko asked.
Izuku nodded quickly.
"I had time to think about it Mom. Once I meet up with him, I will fix things and we can go on from there. What do you say Mom?"
She laughed and took his hand. Her green eyes were all watery but had a smile on her face.
"Alright."
"You are ok with this?" he asked with a big smile.
"I always felt you deserved a lot more than just work and college baby. You done so much and you try so hard. I want you to see the world, how things are... enjoy the roses along the way."
Izuku smiled.
"I still want you to go with me Mom."
"Once I meet his parents, I will make a choice. After you change, I want you to take some time and feel things out with Shouto. I just want you to be sure before we do anything more permanent. How does that sound?"
"That sounds good but I feel... I feel like you're upset about it still."
Inko made a face.
"I gave my Mom a lot of problems too with your father. I told her 'my life, my choice and there was nothing you can do about it' and she couldn't. Just like I can't stop you. If I tell you no, you're gonna hate me and do it anyways. I would rather it not work out and fall apart than you hate me
and leave anyways."
"I don't think I could hate you Mom."
She smiled.
"I know."
She reached over and hugged him.
"Just let me know when you're ok."
"Of course."

Katsuki sat on the roof top staring out at the lights over the city when his phone rang. He saw Izuku's name flash onto the screen and he picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"On Wane and Merit. On a tall building why?"
"I'm on my way."
"What are you up to ya nerd?"
Click!
He stared down at his phone. He had just seen him a few hours ago. What was it that he wanted now? He sighed watching the people that were still out this late walking the streets so late. He ran a hand through his spiked hair as he waited around until he saw that curly green mop of hair was down there. He watched as Izuku looked up and waved at him.
Katsuki waved back and scaled down the building making sure no one was around. He watched as Izuku disappeared in the back alley where he was headed.
"What did you want?" the vampire asked.
"Shouto can't change me. I want you to do it."
I didn't want to slam his change into this chapter. I want it to be mostly a chapter of it's own. I wasn't sure who I would want to change Izuku but after the story went, I decided Katsuki would the next best bet. I guess it would be weird to me in Enji did it. Love you guys! thanks for your patience!
