The next few days were rough.
Izuku would barely ever come out of his room, it was only to go to the bathroom. Katsuki would constantly be trying to catch him in the hallway but would never succeed, forgetting that before this, the greenie did live on the streets and was probably quite skilled when it came to sneaking around. Every time he changed the bandages for his stitches, Izuku would flinch and it would always send shivers up Katsuki's spine when he wonders what the green head could have possibly gone through to make him react in that peculiar way.

He had continued making his guests' food, leaving it at his door that was constantly closed. He would stay in the kitchen, listening for the click of the lock, making sure that the greenie was taking the food inside his room. Then, a few moments later, the plate would be back in the corridor, empty.

That was the routine, every day was the same. He had no idea what to do anymore. Should he be more imposing? Asking the greenette to get out of his room more often? Or should he just leave him alone? Which one should be best? He still wanted to get to to know the stranger better, even more now that there was all this mysterious behavior. He didn't even understand where this sudden curiosity, for someone he barely knew, came from. But the state that he had found the smaller male in was... unsettling. He was unsure of what he should do to be able to gain his trust.

Izuku was even further in his thoughts. He was on the floor, rocking back and forth with his knees to his nose. His mind was in knots, to much going through it at the same time. He hated being left alone with these cruel voices that would always swallow him into a dark abyss. What should he, himself, do? Ignore the blond and risk being punished for showing so much disrespect to him? Why hadn't he come to hurt him yet? Like the others had done, it was practically the first thing they would do as soon as he entered the house. Just thinking of it was sending shivers down his spine. Izuku got up, stretching from the crouched up position and walking to the window that was slightly open. Peeking through the curtains he could see the blond outside, it didn't seem like he was doing much in particular, just lost in thought. What a coincidence, the greenie chuckles to himself. He continued watching him, not in a necessarily creepy way, more like he was trying to read the guy. The curious male saw the other lift his eyes quickly, as if he had discovered something and it caused the green head to hide behind the curtain, making sure he wasn't seen. But then the other just shook his head, looking back at the ground and continued pacing. It made Izuku tilt his own head, wondering what he could possibly thinking about. From here, the blond didn't look very scary. Not that he had really been terrifying before but there was something about those piercing red eyes and sharp jawline that struck Izuku with an emotion he didn't quite understand. Suddenly, the spiky haired male stopped pacing and looked up, in the greenette's direction. Izuku squeaks, quickly making his way away from window and tried to calm down his heart rate. He had been caught. Would the blond be mad about it? He had been staring at him, that's weird and inappropriate. He scuttered to his bed, climbing underneath the duvet, waiting for the other to knock at his door and ask why the hell he was watching him like that. But no one ever came, no knock, no footsteps even. He sighed in relief. The person that was letting him stay at his house was so odd. He had given him an actual room, food, he's taking care of him , he hasn't even punished him once, he was so different than the others... His tired state taking over, he ended up falling asleep under the warm blanket.

''Leave Izuku out of this!''                                             

                           "I will do what I want!''                        ''Mama! Leave mama alone!''                          

       ''Keep them away from each other''                

''No! Mama! Please don't take mama''

Izuku woke up, screaming, tears running down his cheeks. He let out a shaky breath, bringing his arms to wrap around himself. He swallowed hard and whispered to himself,

''Another nightmare...''
