Insecurities \ A BakuDeku Story

| 4: Halloween's Eviction |

Izuku groaned loudly, stirring in bed. It was seven o'clock now, quite late. But tonight, was Halloween. Which is why Midoriya fully intended on being met with Trick-Or-Treat in the voice of a child when he opened the door. 

Instead, he was met with an angry-looking, elderly woman. He knew her too well. And he also knew what date was written on his Eviction Notice. Miss Ming was his landlord. She was kind enough to let him live here a few extra months, giving him a chance to pay up. But he had failed to win any kind of money in the past few months. 

"Do you have the money?" She mumbled, clearly disappointed. Izuku's heart sank to the bottom of his very being. He knew this day was coming, but he wasn't expecting to face it so soon. Today was his last chance to pay his overdue bills. And he was still unable to do so. 

"No. I don't." He whispered, looking down with tears. 

"I guess it's settled then. I'm sorry, Izuku. But I need you out of this apartment by tomorrow night. If you're not out by then, I'm taking your keys and locking you out. If you refuse to cooperate, the police will get involved." The woman sighed. Midoriya nodded sadly, closing the door once she left. That was it. He was actually getting kicked out. 

The greenette sighed shakily as he slid down against his door. He rested his head against his knees as his lungs felt tight. As if he couldn't breathe properly. Tears welled in his eyes as his entire being felt like it would collapse. He loved this apartment. He had found it with his mom and had made many memories with her inside it. As well as bad ones, with his ex. But overall, he still loved this place dearly. He didn't want to leave it behind. 

A shaky hand reached down to his phone, flipping it over in his hand so he could compose his password. Four digits were entered and Izuku soon made his way to his contacts, where he dragged down to the letter B. He immediately clicked on the name Bakugou, hearing it ring. Izuku sighed shakily, hearing a sudden thumping noise and a groggy voice on the other end of the line. 

"Hello? What's up, cutie?" 

Tears welled in emerald eyes at the nickname he was given. 

"Are you busy right now? I need to move out of my apartment as soon as possible. But I can't do it on my own." He spoke, hesitant. He heard the blonde sigh on the other side of the line before replying. 

"This is a little... Last minute. Why do you wanna move out so soon?" Katsuki questioned. Izuku shook his head. 

"Can you just come over, please? I'll ask Ochako too. I just need some help." 

He knew this was all last minute and he was hoping his friends would somewhat rescue him from this pile of troubles. 

"A little birdy told me my little prince was in need of help." Katsuki chuckled as the door opened in front of him. Teary emerald eyes landed on a built figure, a forced smile appearing on freckled features. 

"Hi, Katsuki. Thanks." Midoriya squeaked out. He let his friend come in, Ochako standing in the living room. 

"So... Why exactly are you moving out so suddenly?" Bakugou asked, looking over to his green haired friend. He watched as Izuku and Ochako exchanged glances, earning shrugs from both of them. Bakugou might be a little clueless, but he wasn't stupid. He knew damn well these two were hiding something. But if they didn't want to tell him, that was their decision. He wasn't going to force it.
