Dead, but never gone...

E⃣I⃣G⃣H⃣T⃣

Things have been awkward, to say the least, Katsuki couldn't hang out and oddly Eijiro removed him from their group chat. When asked why he'd simply say that they can make another without him in it because he didn't want Katsuki in his. If they pried or tried to ask what Katsuki did Eijiro would either ignore them or get upset so they stopped asking.

Things didn't improve once the weekend ended and they came back to school, Eijiro didn't talk to them much. He mostly kept to himself and sometimes it would look like he was talking to himself. The bell for lunch sounded and Eijiro waited for everyone else to leave. Once gone he walked over to Aizawa who looked up from his desk with a brow raised.

Eijiro placed a flash drive on his desk, "This will help with your investigation, you're right, Midoriya's death wasn't an accident,"

He began to walk off and Aizawa quickly stood up, stopping him from leaving, "Hold on,"

Eijiro turned to him, "Yeah?"

"Where did you get this and who told you about Midoriya?" Aizawa eyed him.

"I can't tell you that, not yet, but I do know what really happened, I just need proof. I need your help to do that...he deserves better," Eijiro told him.

Aizawa released his arm, "What's on this drive?"

"You can't figure out All Might's involvement, right? That's your answer, he didn't cause his death but he played a part in it, though small. He's not a very good hero, if he was Izuku wouldn't have died that day..." Eijiro trailed off before looking back up at Aizawa "That's all I can say for now,"

Eijiro didn't give him time to speak and walked away leaving Aizawa with more questions than answers. He had no idea how Eijiro came to know all of this, it was clear that he had only recently found out. If he had known before he never would have gotten that close to Katsuki, he knew that for sure.

Few people know about this and barely any who knows of his involvement or knowledge of what happened. There was only one person who could have told Eijiro anything but it wasn't Katsuki, Aizawa knew that for sure. Katsuki was not the type of person who would and he definitely couldn't have given Eijiro anything to help incriminate him.

So who told him about this?

*•*•*•*

"Why aren't you with your friends?"

Eijiro leaned against the roof railing, "I'd rather talk to you,"

"Why?"

"I like talking to you and it's probably lonely being a ghost so I wanna keep you company. Besides if I go there they'll just start bugging me about Katsuki," Eijiro told him.

"Hm, I'm not very interesting,"

"I don't think so, I like you...I think we could have been friends if we had the chance," Eijiro smiled.

"If I had lived we likely would never have met,"

"You don't know that the future is unpredictable and who knows? Maybe it's always been our fate to meet, it just happened a little differently than intended,"

"I guess,"

"How about I show you all the things you never got to experience? I don't want you to have any regrets when you pass on..." His gaze softened.

Izuku stared at him, "We can try,"

Eijiro smiled wide, "Alright,"

"Someone is watching you," Izuku warned.
