Dabi Toga Ruby and Midoriya, who was still going by Ketsuki because he doesn't know if he could completely trust Dabi and Toga, were watching cat videos on Midoriya's TV. Toga was leaning into Midoriya but he didn't notice due to the fact he was busy disassociating. He was thinking about his fight with muscular. Try as he might to distract himself with cat videos and alcohol he couldn't seem to take his mind off of the fight. The image of Muscular standing over him. The smell of the smoke in the air mixed with the scent of blood that he normally enjoys. He The taste of Muscular's blood, eye, and ear as they traveled through his mouth and down his throat. Most of all he remembered the pain, his ribs snapping and his back getting torn to shreds while he gets pummeled into the ground. The hits to the head, the concussion. It terrified… it still terrifies him. The thought of fighting Muscular a second time. If he had to breathe his breath would be rapid and painful but just like always his chest didn't move and all of his pain turns to emptiness once again. Midoriya was roughly snapped out of his musings by the sound of his phone ringing.
"I'll be right back." says Midoriya before stepping into the kitchen where he left his phone.
"See ya Ketsu." calls out Toga.
Midoriya smiles at his new nickname but doesn't respond otherwise. He gets into the kitchen and checks his phone. Aizawa is calling.
"Oh shit." says Midoriya before answering and heading up to his room.
"Hey." says Midoriya.
"HEY kid are you okay? What happened? Why did you think you could do that? You should have left it to the pros. Oh my god are you okay? Kid says something." says Aizawa in one breath.
"HEY, calm down. Breathe. Are you good?" asks Midoriya.
"I'm fine. What the hell happened to you?" asks Aizawa.
"... um." says Midoriya.
"What happened?" asks Aizawa.
"Well on the bright side I can keep coming back from the dead." says Midoriya.
"Oh my fucking god." says Aizawa.
"Yeah, it's crazy. I'm immortalish." says Midoriya.
"I don't even know what that means." says Aizawa.
"Neither do I. Not really anyway." replies Izuku.
"Well when you learn try to explain it to me." says Aizawa.
"I will but I just found out today… or last night I don't know how long I've been out." says Izuku.
"Well are you okay?" asks Aizawa.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. But that's enough about me how are you doing? Ya got any cool hero stories?" asks Izuku.
"Kid I'm trying to have a serious conversation here." says Aizawa.
"So am I, and I'm failing and I'm sorry for that." says Izuku.
"Well can you just try a little harder. I know I don't look the part but I care about your well being." says Aizawa.
"Well that's something I haven't really experienced before. And as for trying harder it would be a lot easier if I wasn't on my third… maybe fourth bottle of whiskey." says Izuku.
"You're an alcoholic. Not only do I have to worry about you being a crime fighting teenager. Not only do I have to worry about whatever issues you have or had with your father. I have to worry about you being a fourteen year old alcoholic." says Aizawa.
"Yeah, but you should probably be more worried about the excessive amount of cigarettes I smoke than me being an alcoholic. And I don't think I'm an alcoholic yet. I mean it's not like I'm addicted." says Izuku.
"I'm gonna address the cigarettes later. When you said 'I don't think I'm an alcoholic' you said 'yet' at the end." says Aizawa.
"Shit did I?" asks Izuku.
"Uh yeah. You did." says Aizawa.
"Oh… that's not good. Right, that's not good is it?" asks Izuku.
"Well it's good you told me but I'm far more upset than I was when I called you and I didn't think that was possible." says Aizawa.
"Well that has to be stressful for you." says Izuku.
"Oh it is." says Aizawa.
"Damn that's rough." says Izuku.
"Yeah, I noticed." says Aizawa.
"If it makes you feel better, I'm probably gonna take some time off the whole vigilante thing. I'll wait until my joints don't feel sore or stiff. I'll probably work out while I'm on my little vacation. So when I do come back I'll be stronger and faster. Although I might seek out Muscular and go for a rematch." says Izuku.
"Okay. I'm glad you're taking a break but please for the love of everything on this cursed rock don't go after Muscular." says Aizawa.
"Yeah you're probably right. I shouldn't look for him. I think the pain coursing through my body is enough of a reminder that I'll stick with small fries for now." says Izuku.
"You said, 'for now'." says Aizawa.
"I'm digging my own grave here aren't I?" asks Izuku.
"Yeah you are." says Aizawa.
"Well I guess I just have to make sure you don't catch me." says Izuku.
"You can't stay away from me." says Aizawa.
"Then I guess I have to find Muscular before you find me." says Izuku.
"You might be able to slip away from me every once in awhile." says Aizawa.
"That's a relief. I'd probably have to get myself killed if I couldn't." says Izuku.
"How do you joke around when all this stuff happens in your life?" asks Aizawa.
"All my jokes are cries for help." says Izuku.
"Can't your jokes be jokes and your cries for help be cries for help?" asks Aizawa.
"Nope. but my cries for help can be jokes." says Izuku.
"That's what you said earlier but in reverse." says Aizawa.
"Damn I really am drunk huh?" asks Izuku.
"Yeah are we ever gonna have a serious conversation about this? You know when you aren't plastered." says Aizawa.
"Plastered is a strong word." says Izuku.
"And whiskey is a strong drink." says Aizawa.
"That's fair." says Izuku.
"Listen just call me when you're sober." says Aizawa.
"Hey dad I'm home." calls a voice from behind Aizawa.
"Woah, you have a kid?" asks Izuku.
"Yeah, but you can't talk to him drunk." says Aizawa.
"What if I was sober?" asks Izuku.
"Then I might let you speak to him." says Aizawa.
"I'm gonna put my regeneration on high for a little while and make myself sober." says Izuku.
"You can do that?" says Aizawa questioningly.
There is a pause in the conversation.
"Yeah, I can and I'm sober now and that sucks." says Izuku.
"Yeah, but now I'll let you talk to my son." says Aizawa.
"Well that doesn't suck." says Izuku.
"Shinsou can you come here a minute." calls Aizawa.
"Sure." calls a voice that Izuku categorizes as Shinsou.
Izuku hears some rustling and footsteps.
"Whats up?" asks Shinsou.
"I have someone who wants to meet you." says Aizawa.
"Am I on speaker?" says Izuku.
"Yeah." says Aizawa.
"What's up lil zawa." says Izuku.
"I thought you said you weren't drunk." says Aizawa.
"I'm not." says Izuku.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but who is this?" asks Shinsou.
"I'm the vigilante Ketsuiki. I met your dad a little while ago while fighting villains. We've been friends ever since." says Izuku.
"We aren't friends. You need help and I'm a hero." says Izuku.
"Wow you get killed by one super villain and suddenly you have the attention of a couple of heroes. What is this world turning into?" says Izuku.
"Stop being stupid." says Aizawa.
"Kids love stupid." says Izuku.
"He's your age." says Aizawa.
Shinsou just continues to stand there feeling the full weight of this incredibly awkward conversation.
"Well that explains why his voice is so deep. I just sort of imagined that he was like and eight year old with a teenagers voice." says Izuku.
"Why did you think that?" asks Shinsou.
"I'm not very bright. Also I got repeatedly hit in the head by a villain that can throw cars." says Izuku.
"That explains a lot." says Aizawa.
"So what did you want from me?" asks Shinsou.
"I didn't really have anything in mind I just heard you come through the door and wanted to meet you because I think your dad is cool." says Izuku.
"You got a weird way of showing it." says Aizawa.
"I like you and all but frick the authority." says Izuku.
"I kind of imagined a vigilante would be fine with saying fuck." says Shinsou.
"I am but I like to spice things up when I can." says Izuku.
"I can respect that." says Shinsou.
"I can tell from just a couple sentences that your a solid guy." says Izuku.
"Uh thanks." says Shinsou.
"So are you single?" asks Izuku.
"Wait what?" asks Shinsou whom currently sounds completely baffled.
"Stay away from my son you demon." says Aizawa.
"I wouldn't call myself a demon. I'm like a half demon. A mini demon. Demon Jr. But not a whole demon. And besides I was just kidding I hardly know the guy." says Izuku.
"You are a confusing person to talk to." says Aizawa.
"I'm gonna be honest I'm using this conversation to act like a dumb ass so that I can distract myself from the constant mental pain of sobriety." says Izuku.
"Dad your friends are cool." says Shinsou.
"Hell yeah shinsou. Tell the man." says Izuku.
"But this guy is just weird." says Shinsou.
"That is not what I wanted you to tell him but I respect your honesty." says Izuku.
"He is funny though in a weird way." says Shinsou.
"I'll take what I can get." says Izuku.
"Okay you guys are getting way to close for me to feel comfortable. I think you're going to get my son killed one of these days. And I really don't want to worry about both of you." says Aizawa.
"You are going to have to worry about us because I am gonna become your sons best friend." says Izuku.
"Yeah whatever just don't get him in any trouble. I'll give him your number in case he wants to keep talking with you." says Aizawa.
"That's really cool of you." says Izuku.
"Yeah, it i- okay my roommates are coming home I'll call back later." says Aizawa.
"Yeah. I'm not ready for present Mics enthusiasm. You and Shinsou have that perfect level of dead inside with a will to live to be perfect to talk to." says Izuku.
"Well, we try." says Aizawa.
"That's good to hear." says Izuku.
"Well I gotta go now bye." says Aizawa hurriedly before hanging up.
Izuku started going back downstairs when he heard muttering. He activated super hearing so that he could understand what they were saying.
"Ketsu is so cute." says Toga.
"You think so?" says Ruby.
"Yup. I really like how he looked when he was all covered in blood. I don't think all of it was his but that just makes him cuter." says Izuku.
"You think you could get him to take you on a date?" asks Ruby.
"I want him to take me out." says Toga.
"You go for it. I can put in a good word for you." says Ruby excitedly
"Really? That's so nice of you. Dabi did you hear?" asks Toga.
Dabi grunts in confirmation as he sips from his whiskey.
"I wanna cover both of us in blood." says Toga.
Ruby assumed it was a metaphor and was happy with herself for potentially getting her self proclaimed nephew a date. While this was happening a series of red flags were showing up in Izuku's head. Luckily for Toga the color red was really growing on Izuku.
"That's not a metaphor. She really wants to cover him in blood." says Dabi.
"You want to kill him?" asks Ruby nervously.
"No he's way too cute for me to kill." says Toga.
"So you don't want him dead?" asks Ruby because she needs clarification.
"No I just want to date him and also suck his blood." says Toga.
Izuku decided now was a good time to show himself to the trio.
"Luckily for you I'm down for both of those things." says Izuku as he walks into the living room, "as long as you're buying."
"I'm broke." says Toga.
"Well I guess I'm buying." says Izuku.
Authors Note
I want to start this authors Note off by saying that I'm sorry for not updating last week and making you guys wait so long for this chapter. I've been struck with writer's block. I'm also sorry for this chapter being completely filler. I didn't really know what to do with this chapter. I just wanted to get something out for you all to read. While I was thinking of things to do for the story I thought of things to add to the story later and I want your opinion on them. As you know I'm trying to make Izuku a delinquent so I'm considering giving him a tattoo. I'm thinking about a sleeve that looks like an emerald snake coiled around his arm and I'd like to hear your opinions on that and other tattoo ideas. I've also considered taking Izuku's delinquency and merging it with a punk rock aesthetic because I like the idea of a punk rock vampire. I'd like to get your opinions on one last thing and that thing is making Izuku immortal. On one hand it would get rid of the risk of him dying but it could be seen in a more tragic sense. He could have to think about him out living everybody that isn't ruby. I have mentioned the idea of some original vigilantes and I'm thinking the main risk of losing a character comes from them. I would like to get your opinion on this as well. I also want all of you to know that I'm not above killing characters so there is an actual chance that people will die. My original plan for this story was going to kill Izuku before he even got to U.A. so I'm really not above killing people. Once again I'm sorry for the long wait and the quality of this chapter but I wanted to get something out to you guys even if it isn't my best. Also I came back to the authors note while working on reviews because I want to ask how you feel about shinsou being Aizawa's son.
Kakerot Bardockson: I'm glad that you are understanding with my struggle to write dialogue for Toga. Please tell me what you thought about her dialogue in this chapter. I'm very happy that you are willing to help.I have considered giving Izuku more powers. One of those powers is levitation but not flight because that would be overpowered. Although I might give him flight either way.
Tododeku26: I'm glad to see that you are excited for Dabi and Toga because I'm excited too.
Atomic Dragon 59: Izuku is going to give Iida some of the most distressed moments in his life. with his alcoholic antics. I think I might start the year at U.A. with dorm rooms and I plan on having Izuku show up earlier than everyone else and have his room ready by the time Iida shows up. Iida is going to walk into the main room and just see Izuku sitting on the couch with his feet on the coffee table drinking whiskey and watching cat videos on the dorm television. I don't think I need to explain the rest of the scene to you as I'm sure you can imagine what happens next. I think you have some great ideas with Toga and Izuku. I love the idea of Toga realizing that despite Izuku being a little fucked up he's still nice to the people around him. Even if they are villains he doesn't act against them unless they are at fault. Although Izuku does have Girans contract stopping him he still wouldn't fight her and she doesn't know about the contract. I tried to work in some of the dialogue you wrote without taking all of it.
Amadeus Amadeus: I am gonna try to make Toga closer to what you described. As I was reading your review I found myself agreeing with everything you said and I want you to know that you help out a lot when I write. I really like what you said about kindered spirits. I'm gonna make toga crazier. Then I'm gonna have her calm down as she grows closer to Izuku. He's gonna be like a calming service animal. Like an anxiety bat. I want the two of them to work together as they try to make the world an easier place to live in. Not just for themselves but for anybody like them. Anybody who is treated differently for the quirk or lack thereof. I still like the idea of losing part of ones soul until but I think I forgot to mention that eventually the soul will disapear completly and the vampire will die. But I'm thinking about just making Izuku immortal and I like that idea better. Also Dabi is a Todoroki and we will go further into that later.
