2: who should i trust?

Gruesome images of a mangled face and dented in skulls flashed through his mind. The faces belonging to his loved ones or just strangers. Just like Katsuki.

He woke up at midnight in a cold sweat, he couldn't fall asleep again after that.

The next day he got to school, he looked like a zombie from the lack of sleep at this point. He dozed off every one in awhile but never long enough for him to have any nightmares. Soon it came to the end of the day and he was attending a film club meeting, everyone chatting as the film director spoke about the upcoming trip they were going to.

When the club ended and one of the actresses, Itsuka Kendo walked up to him with a worried expression. "You okay? You've seemed rather off.."

"Huh? Oh.. I'm fine.. Just.." He trailed off.

"It started when you met with Midoriya-senpai..." She frowned as Shoto sputtered.

"I'm fine.."

"Did he... do something?"

"Well..-"

Little steps echoed in the hall, Izuku passing them with a smile. "Good after noon~..Sho-kun come with me for a bit? I got something for you."

"W-wait-" He was dragged away before he could say anything else.

Izuku brought them to the side of the school where it was more secluded.

"I have your payment."

"Payment?" He echoed, confused still.

The freckled male smiled and gave him a brown bag. "There's five million yen in there."

"F-five million?!" He stared at the bag with wide eyes. He looked like he was unsure to accept the money, "Is this to... buy my silence?"

He probably would have done it for free by the looks of it...

Izuku wore an amused face and giggled. "Shut you up? Why would I do that?"

"You killed someone. I think that's enough to hide.."

"Oh, that! That's already done and gone with. The culprit was already most likely found by now. It was a really unfortunate incident~" the male said, smiling.

"Wha... but you.." He blinked, his tired mind scrambling to try and make sense of any of this.

Izuku got his phone out, scrolling for a bit before showing Shoto a news article from that morning. "See?"

He saw the 41 year old's face, a shady looking dude frowning at the camera. "But... that.. how..?"

"I was the one who committed the crime, yes, but I'm not the one who gets punished." Izuku said, putting his phone back in his pocket.

"Because I'm the winner."

"..winner..?"

"Mhm! Now let's talk about what happens next time." Izuku said, pointing at his camera.

"...next time.. Hey I haven't agreed to this.." He protested weakly, taking a small step back.

"Huh? But why?" The male asked, tilting his head to the side.

"You cant just expect me to kill people!" He exclaimed, stumbling back a little.

"Huh? That isn't what happened." Izuku protested.

"I cant film things like that. I've been having nightmares every time I fall asleep... I havent been getting any. I...I can't do that."

"You liar! That's so weird." The green eyes boy said, hands at his side.
