They made me do it

Izuku just wanted to grab some food and head back to his room when he was swept up by the other insomniacs of 1-A to summon a demon. Reluctantly, he joins them.

TW!

A little bit of blood near the end.

Izuku never really believed in ghosts. Sure, the odd ghost story or two was always fun but he wasn't the kind of person who'd actively seek them out. Often, he'd dear rumours floating around the school, describing the unexplainable. Izuku would sigh before getting to his destination.

So, it was definitely weird when he found out that 1-A were ghost crazy. Izuku would constantly hear talk about cryptids among other things. And when they'd moved into the dorms, the conversation topic would show up more often.

It was mainly Kaminari who brought it up. But it was always the quiet ones who seemed the most interested. Koda, for example, was a firm believer in those who appeared as nothing but an invisible force. He'd often explain how his rabbit would sporadically stare into the distance with no warning at all.

But then there were also the quite obviously edgy classmates. Tokoyami talked about the supernatural as much as he repeated the phrase; 'Revelry in the dark'. So quite regularly. It wasn't annoying per se but it definitely got repetitive.

Contrary to popular belief, Izuku was an insomniac. Almost daily, he'd find himself staring at his ceiling as he attempted to calm his buzzing mind. But even when he managed to finally fall asleep, Izuku would be plagued with nightmares. Basically, Izuku has so much trauma and sleep is for the weak.

So, he'd find himself walking down to the common rooms at least once a week. Sometimes, he'd bump into fellow classmates who were quite clearly not used to staying up too late. Izuku would give a quick hello before plonking himself on the couch, used to the routine of it all.

It was 3 am one night when it happened.

As usual, he couldn't sleep. So he'd made his way downstairs to grab food and hydration. As he reached the bottom of the stairs though, he heard hushed whispers emanating from the floor. Frowning, he turned his pace to a tip-toe, not wanting the occupants aware of his arrival.

Peaking around the corner, he dropped his guard, it was just his classmates down there. Three people; Tokoyami, Kaminari and Shinsou, the new addition to their class. Izuku mumbled something under his breath before continuing his journey for snacks.

Alas, things never seem to go smoothly for Izuku. As he entered the kitchen, the three heads (Four if you're counting Dark Shadow) swivelled around and locked on to Izuku's form.
