"What do you know about All Might?" Shigaraki squeezed Izuku's neck, making sure he knew he had the power to end his life in seconds. "I heard you call him uncle."
"Well..." Izuku debated on if he should tell the man about their relationship. He considered All Might to be close, but he barely knew the guy. He met him on a roof, for Pete's sake.
"I know if you're lying, Chicken. The moment you lie, I'll kill everyone here." Shigaraki's voice dripped with hate. Izuku knew he the power the man held, but would he act on his words? "Tick tock, Midoriya."
"I met him on a rooftop a few months before I went to UA. I didn't know who he was at the time, but then I saw him at UA." Izuku felt like he was betraying his school; telling Shigaraki about this. He treid to give little information, but to also be honest. Don't mention anything else. "I barely know him. He visited me in the infirmary in a disguise and told everyone he was my uncle."
"Hmm."
"It stuck- the title, I mean. I barely know the guy, as I said." Izuku broke out in a sweat. Did Shigaraki believe him? "It's just a nickname."
"So you really don't know any secret of his?"
"Not one important enough to tell you."
Izuku's eyes filled with fear. He lied. It was obvious. He swallowed- hoping he didn't get caught. With his eyes squeezed shut, he welcomed death.
"Liar." The man cackled. His voice bounced between Izuku's ears, making his skin crawl with discomfort.
There it was.
He was being selfish. He told a lie. Now everyone here is going to turn to ash. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
"You had me fooled, Midoriya!" Shigaraki laughed. "You're a great actor."
"Izu-chan?" Toko-nii's voice was heard. Izuku looked up and found his brother holding a bag of food. Dark Shadow came out, sensing tension. He hid behind Toko-nii whispering something in his ear. "What's going on?"
"Toko-nii, leave." Izuku started to panic. Shigaraki was going to kill his brother. He couldn't let this happen. It wasn't Toko-nii's time to go yet. Not yet. "Go find Kacchan-"
"That's my queue to leave!" Shigaraki took his hand off of Izuku's neck. The moment it was gone, Izuku began to cough. "Goodbye, little chicken. Just know you'll pay for lying to me."
Shigaraki quickly walked away, blending in with the crowd. Toko-nii sat next to Izuku and pulled out a little box of Chinese food. Dark Shadow quickly forgot about Shigaraki and grabbed an egg roll.
"Was that the guy from USJ?" Toko-nii asked, handing Izuku a small box. It smelt great. "What did he want?"
"He wanted information on All Might." Izuku sadly ate his rice. "Should we call someone? What if he takes what I told him and uses it?"
"What did you tell him?"
"Almost nothing. But he still got something out of me." He sighed. "He'll put the pieces together. He'll know his true identity soon enough, and it will be all because of me."

Kacchan was confused, to say the least when he came back. Toko-nii and Izuku were being questioned by police and most of the mall was cleared out. He was even more pissed when he found out Dark Shadow ate his share of food.
Turns out most of class 1A had come as well to buy things for the camp that was announced earlier. Some of them were questioned as well, but it was directed towards the brothers.
They were sent home a few hours afterward to rest. Izuku was glad. Momma was probably worried.
"I'm home." Izuku walked through the front door with Toko-nii and Kacchan behind him. They decided to stay the night, per Izuku's request. He wanted to keep an eye on them.
It was silly- he knew this- but it would let him sleep at night knowing Shigaraki wouldn't be around his family.
"My baby!" He was tackled and fell to the ground. "I was so worried! Someone from school called and told me what happened. Are you hurt?"
"Just a little mark, Momma." Izuku got up and offered her a hand, to which she accepted. "I'm fine."
"Good." She wiped away some stray tears and turned to the other three. "Hello boys, you haven't been over in a while. What brings you over."
"The nerd was scared shitless and needs someone to hold his hand tonight." Kacchan snorted, glaring at Dark Shadow. "And Chicken Head's minion ate my food."
"I'll get some snacks. You boys go to the living room." She gave Dark Shadow a little head pat. "Put a movie on, won't you Izuku?"
"Sure."
That night they binged some movies (Most were horror, thanks to Toko-nii). Momma went to bed early, urging the boys to go to bed as well.
Izuku fell asleep to the sound of laughing and sappy acting.

Okay so I'm sorry I haven't actually posted a chapter recently.
I've been having some terrible nightmares and can't get them out of my mind.
(But they do provide some good future writing material WINK WINK)
And I've just been watching stuff like Japan Sinks 2020 and Library War (Which I recommend) so I've forgot to write, like, at all.
BUT I also have come up with some future villain deku art and plot. So do expect that after I finish either this book or my other one.
So anyways, in conclusion;
Nightmares= gorey.
Japan= sank.
Plot= written.
